delicious little cook

Chapter 79

In the east kitchen, today’s dish test is going on as usual. Everyone divides the labor and cooperates to process the ingredients of each dish on the menu and take them to the small kitchen next door. Wen Gushan cooks in there alone, and the big kitchen is led by the stewards to other people. Masters cook.

Naturally, everyone in the kitchen knows about yesterday's farce. The old chefs still remember every bit of what happened during the filial piety of the first Duke of the country. They all say that they have never seen such a difficult lady to serve. This vegetarian banquet must be It couldn't be done, and others were still envious of Lu Doudou and the others who would get rewards after going out for a walk, Mengmei laughed and ridiculed Bai Kou's vegetarian menu for nothing.

Bai Kou didn't want to talk to her at all.

Today, the third young master went to Bajingfang, so he didn’t need to make afternoon snacks. Bai Kou lingered at Lu Doudou’s place for a while, and only found out when he returned to Wenling Courtyard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the third grandpa came to apologize in the morning and knelt down on the old lady’s table. Weeping bitterly in front of her, and listening to the insider details from Jicheng Hall, the eldest lady looked much more haggard than the one she saw during the filial piety, and it was hard to believe that she was the mistress of a wealthy family.

The old matriarch and the three wives, out of pity for the lady who is not easy to serve her mother-in-law, agreed to send someone from their family to attend the filial banquet, but the three old ladies were determined not to come to the door, and the old matriarch wanted to send someone to guard the street. If the old lady came, she would be sent away immediately, the Duke Ye's mansion would not be able to serve her.

Speaking of this, I don't want to see this old concubine at all, but it's better than not allowing their whole family to attend at all. The lady apologized repeatedly, left a gift and left quickly, and left before lunch. Taijun didn't want to invite her to have lunch either.

When dinner was about to be prepared, one of the guards who followed Gu Yun came back early to inform the third young master of Wenling Court that he would not go home for dinner. He and his friends went to the street to eat and came back.

This temporary decision made today's dinner ingredients immediately become a delicious meal for the girls, plus the servant meal delivered by the West Kitchen according to the number of people, a group of people ate only hiccups, and there were still a lot of ingredients left for barbecue at night eat.

When Gu Yun came home, he unexpectedly brought the girls a midnight snack, a large bag of snacks bought at a time-honored famous store, and after changing clothes and saying good night to the elders, he called Bai Kou into the study alone to talk.

"Third young master, what are your orders?"

"How much is the biggest eater you've ever met?"

"The first thing to look at is who it is. Is it a pure eater, or is it a daily physical exertion?"

"Have you heard of the Dual Building?"

"Third young master, do you mean the restaurant that is famous for its dim sum opened beside Yuanqiao on Yuanjie?"

"Do you know how big their most famous big bun is?"

"There are only three in one cage. Adults eat one cage for breakfast, and some porridge and soup are almost enough."

"Have you ever seen someone eat ten cages for breakfast, which alarmed the shopkeeper and all the diners to watch?"

"Third Young Master, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"No, I ate at the same table with that guy tonight, and I was almost watched by the store again."

Bai Kou carefully observed the third young master's micro-expression.

"A big eater won't make you so angry and gnash your teeth, third young master, but you look more like a man whose dignity has been severely hit. That person must be tall but not stout, with broad shoulders and long legs. He is handsome, gentle and polite, and he is watched by girls and daughter-in-laws all the way."

Gu Yun stared, "Don't talk like you saw it with your own eyes!"

"Third young master, you are out of breath. The servant girl is right. If you dare to guess again, that person must have an elegant eclipse at the dinner table, but he has an amazing appetite. But the third young master should not let you The mood is unstable, that person should be a talent who is good at archery, horse riding and shooting. He is good-looking and good at martial arts, but third young master, it is the first time you see him today. Could it be that a friend of yours brought him Relative or friend?"

"My friend's cousin recently came to the capital to celebrate his grandfather's birthday on behalf of his parents. He just played with us for a few days. After the birthday party is over, he will rush back to his hometown to participate in this year's martial arts. If he passes the exam, we can see you in the capital again next year." It's up to him." Bai Kou said everything, Gu Yun was surprised and then explained it simply.

"Oh, it turned out to be like this. Don't be envious of the third young master. He is dedicated to practicing martial arts and wants to be a general. The focus of your homework is still on the literary test. There is no comparison between you and him. Judging by the daily training volume of that young master If estimated, what he eats in a whole day is probably equivalent to the food intake of four or five people in a whole day."

"There are so many?!"

"Well, both Duke Xian and the Third Grandfather are civil servants, and only the Second Grandfather has joined the army. Why don't the Third Young Master ask the old Grandfather if he remembers how much the Second Grandfather ate a day when he was still at home? Compare it, you I know that what you eat every day is nothing, just a little more than those of your peers who only study and do not practice martial arts."

"I thought you would really serve me a roast duck and two catties of boiled lamb someday."

"There are really people who can eat like this. If the third young master wants to try it, the servant girl will definitely obey."

"No need!"

"Does the third young master have any other orders?"

"No more, let's go down."

"Yes, then the servant girl is looking forward to meeting that young master next year."

"Don't be too curious about him."

"How can you not be curious about the servant girl who can beat your opponent in the school field when we meet for the first time."

"When did I say I was defeated?!"

"Third Young Master, you are getting impatient again, you must have lost badly?"

Gu Yun grabbed the folding fan and fanned it wildly, turning his head to ignore Bai Kou.

Bai Kou bowed reservedly and withdrew, and couldn't hold back when she walked into the courtyard. She smiled all the way back to the front yard and shared the gossip with everyone.

In order to comfort the third young master's little heart that was suffering from stimulation and shock today, Bai Kou also prepared a portion for the third young master when everyone had a happy barbecue at night. Barbecue meat served with iced black tea, the ultimate summer night enjoyment.

The next day, everything was as usual. During the snack time in the afternoon, another guest came to the door, wearing the official uniform of an official from the Ministry of Rites, but they came because of the disturbance the day before yesterday. After the eldest daughter-in-law of the third grandpa came to apologize yesterday, I thought the matter was over Who would have thought that someone would move so fast, today's Zuo Yushi took this matter into the Third Grand Master's book, so after the lunch break, the Ministry of Rites sent people to inquire and investigate.

Lord Ye is a first-class duke who is hereditary, and all weddings and ceremonies in his family must be reported to the Ministry of Rites. Naturally, the date of the filial banquet has been reported early. Many people know that the filial piety period in Duke Ye's mansion is coming to an end. As a result, in the early court today, all the ministers heard that the old lady of the Duke's Mansion said that she would not allow the old lady to attend the filial banquet. How can he govern the country and the world if he can't cultivate himself and regulate the family, so the official duties that were originally entrusted to him were temporarily put on hold.
