delicious little cook

Chapter 74 What Does This Old Lady Mean?

After finishing work and eating, Bai Kou went back to Wenling Courtyard. She wanted to wash her clothes before taking a lunch break, but she just walked in. Mei Lun Meihuan told her that someone from the sewing room brought her new clothes in the morning But because she had gone to the East Kitchen at that time, if the clothes didn't fit anywhere, she had to sew a few stitches herself.

Bai Kou immediately ran back to the house to try on the new clothes, not only the arrow sleeves, but also the new clothes of the third-class girl who was rewarded later. Although they were all made of plain fabrics and the colors were not so bright, they were really The texture was of the highest quality, even better than those worn by the four little girls in the courtyard. Bai Kou casually changed into a different outfit and went out to show everyone, saying that she looked like the girl next to the old lady.

Wearing such good clothes, she couldn't bear to go into the kitchen to accept the smoky Bai Kou. She tried them all on for a while, and after a while, she took them to the chore yard to swim.

Waking up after a short nap, the small kitchen began to be busy, but Mama Pang led a strange mother who was a few years older than her to Wenling Courtyard to look for Bai Kou.

"Bai Kou, this is Mama Wen who is next to the third old lady. Come over to have a look at the small kitchen. I plan to use it for the vegetarian feast."

Bai Koufu saluted, smiled and called "Mom Wen" softly, then walked into the kitchen first to ask everyone to stop, covered the table with a vegetable cover, and after everyone else went out, she welcomed Mother Wen in to visit.

As soon as Wen's mother walked in, she took out a pure white handkerchief, and wiped it in the corner to check whether there was any dust or oil stains. She wiped the edge of the stove back and forth several times, and opened the seasoning cabinet for oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Check what is used.

The corners of Mama Pang's mouth twitched, following Mama Wen, but she was a guest, so she had no choice but to remain polite.

Fortunately, this small kitchen has only been officially opened for less than half a month, and Bai Kou loves cleanliness. He cleans it strictly according to the hygiene standards of the catering kitchen every day. When not in use, the bottles and cans are stored in the cabinet, and only put out when needed. , all the countertops that are not invaded by sundries are bright.

Mama Wen's picky inspection method finally found only a little bit of oil on the edge of the stove, which was dripped when the girls pumped oil from the oil tank earlier. Mama Wen shook her handkerchief and sighed loudly.

"Oh, that's not okay. Our old lady doesn't touch oil at all. This kitchen is not very clean. I think it's better to build a new kitchen in order not to lose face on the day of the filial piety banquet. Specially cook for our old lady."

A blue vein popped up on Bai Kou's forehead, and he complained wildly in his heart, what kind of mentally ill old lady came out of nowhere.

Mother Pang nodded with a smile, "Okay, I must follow the wishes of the third old lady, but please pay the third old lady 500 taels of silver in advance, refund the excess and make up for the less. One pot, all will be sent to the three old ladies' house, and the old lady will never take advantage of it."

Mother Wen was choked up immediately, "Looking at such a magnificent mansion, how can you be so poor that you don't even have 500 taels?"

"That's right. From being poor at the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the family has a big business and a lot of expenses. Every money must be planned first. If there is any extra expenditure, you have to find a way to squeeze money around. The three old ladies probably don't care about this little money. Thank you for your support, old lady."

Wen's mother curled her mouth, but she didn't answer the words, her eyes turned and fell on Bai Kou.

"Such a young girl is your favorite chef? Is she really the one who wrote the vegetarian banquet list?"

"She wrote it. Our old lady is still deciding on the final menu, and I think any dish is good."

"Is she a clean girl? Our old lady loves cleanliness, but it's deep down in her heart."

"At her young age, she is naturally clean."

Bai Kou understood the meaning of the conversation between the two mothers, her face was calm, she maintained the quality that a maid should have, but she cursed in her heart, see a doctor if she is sick, what kind of perverted old lady!What happens if you eat vegetarian food for a long time and become dementia!

"Is it okay to let her manage a table of vegetarian banquets by herself?"

"She's in charge, just arrange a few girls who do odd jobs."

"Those girls also need to be clean."

"They're all little girls around her age, they're guaranteed to be clean."

"Is it easy to work?"

"The little girl newly bought by the kitchen from Yachifang has quick hands and feet."

"Oh? Then come over and have a look. I won't look carefully. It's not easy to go back to our old lady."

"Could Mama Wen still want to do a physical examination on the girl?" Mama Pang's face was a little ugly.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Mother Wen's face, and she waved her hands again and again, "Where did you go, what a joke, I just look at the people, the cooks who serve our old lady are all beautiful people, ugly people burn She can't eat the food."

"The cooks and cooks in our house are only selected for their skills and not their looks. If the girls come over later and don't look like you, I'm here to say sorry."

Mother Pang doesn't want to waste her words with each other anymore. The three old ladies have become more and more outrageous these years, and now they come to the Duke's mansion to play the elders. The Duke is gone, but the old lady is still there. It's her turn. Seeing her pretending to be an ancestor here?

"Bai Kou, you and Mei Lun will go on a trip and bring someone over."

"Yes, Mama Pang."

Bai Koufu saluted, walked outside the door and quickly took off her smock with the help of the maids, and He Meilun hurried away.

"This little girl is not very old, and she has a lot of airs. She needs help to take off her clothes." Mother Wen clicked her tongue in disdain.

Pang's mother didn't want to talk to her, she felt that the other party was also a bad-brained person, on the side of the third old lady, it was probably a fan who fanned the flames everywhere every day.

Meihuan came in and invited the two mothers to the main room to drink tea and rest. Mother Wen was polite but walked quickly. tea.

Bai Kou and Meilun hurried into the East Kitchen, everyone was busy making afternoon snacks at the moment, when they saw the big girl from Wenling Courtyard coming over, they stopped what they were doing and came forward together.

Meilun went to talk to Wen Gushan, Bai Kou directly ordered Lu Doudou, Wanqiu and Hongsu, and asked them to wash their hands and go to Wenlingyuan with her.

The three of them quickly took off their smocks, washed their hands and walked towards Bai Kou. Meilun just finished talking with Wen Gushan, and took the pair of cards from the steward. .

"Are these three newcomers this year?"

"Well, three of them are enough."

"Okay, come with us, hurry up."

"Wait a minute!" Mengmei pushed aside the crowd vigorously, "I am the first in this year's rookie competition, why didn't you call me Bai Kou?"

"I remember you, your name is Mengmei." Meilun immediately entered the scene, turning her head pretending to be puzzled, "Bai Kou, why didn't you call her?"

"Sister Meilun, she's inconvenient." Bai Kou said in a low voice deliberately embarrassed.

"I didn't!" Mengmei was right in front of the two of them, she heard it clearly, and quickly defended herself.

Wen Gushan stepped forward and kicked Mengmei away, "Tomorrow I will try the dishes for the old lady, and Mengmei will stay to work, so hurry up and don't keep the guests waiting."

Meilun didn't say anything, and left with the people.
