delicious little cook

Chapter 8
The two were talking and laughing, and Lu Doudou, who had been looking at the road leading to the main road in the mansion, lifted his spirits and touched Bai Kou with his knee.

"he came!"

Bai Kou looked up and saw that it was the little brother. Although he was still dressed in ordinary clothes, he looked like he was wearing a fancy dress, and he walked with a kind of grace.

"Bai Kou." The little brother only nodded to Bai Kou, Lu Doudou didn't catch his eyes at all.

"Brother." Bai Kou sat still, waving his hands in greeting. Except for the door pier, there was no place to sit in the narrow alley.

"Are you satisfied with today's result?" The little brother didn't mind the strange speaking posture of him standing and sitting.

"Thank you, little brother, for your advice." Bai Kou motioned Lu Doudou to sit on her buttocks first, then she stood up and handed out the oiled paper bag in her hand.

"Today, the apprentices can go to the stove to practice freely. This is the baked pumpkin stick with salted egg yolk just now. If you don't mind, brother, can you taste it?"

Looking at the oiled paper package, the little brother raised his eyebrows, hesitated for two or three breaths, and finally took it and opened it. He looked at it carefully with his eyes as if looking at poison, and then picked one up and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's interesting. Is this a new snack in the market? I haven't seen it on the street." The food entered his mouth, and a smile appeared on the little brother's face.

"It's just as good as it tastes."

After the little brother tasted it, he couldn't stop his mouth, and he ate several in one go before he licked his fingers a little bit.

"That's great. No wonder you were so confident the day before yesterday. It's really not just talking nonsense."

"Our apprentices are all selected from the best, so naturally we have such self-confidence."

"So, you are so confident, you must prefer free play competitions?"

"Everyone thinks this way. In the two rounds of basic skills competition, everyone's scores are very close. If it is a competition of designated dishes, they can be mastered in a month. How is it different from the basic skills competition in the end? So , it is more in line with the nature of a cook to play freely."

"But there must be a limit to free play. You can't cook a hot dish, and she cooks a cold dish. The dishes are different. How do you compare?"

"Then let's all make one cold, one hot and one soup and order it at the same time." Bai Kou felt that this problem was not a problem at all.

"You really figured it out!" The little brother frowned slightly, not knowing whether he was surprised or dissatisfied.

"This is the confidence of a cook, little brother." After Bai Kou finished speaking, he lightly kicked Lu Doudou, "Can you do it?"

Lu Doudou stared at Bai Kou speechlessly with her round eyes. She had already said this, what else could she say...

"I'm fine." Lu Doudou swallowed hard, poking her neck.

"Both of us are fine, little brother." Bai Kou smiled like a flower.

"But there are 24 of you." The little brother seemed to be amused again, folded his arms, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Does the little brother mean that you want me to ask everyone to come out and discuss it together?" Bai Kou immediately pretended to be innocent, she guessed that the other party must not be willing to deal with others more, and it was not in compliance with the rules.

The little brother really took a deep breath and shook the pumpkin strips in his hand.

"For your sake, let me help you again."

"Thank you little brother, I'll cook something delicious for you when I have a chance in the future!" Bai Kou looked at the back of the other party, really happy.

Lu Doudou stood up silently, stuffed a pumpkin stick into Bai Kou's mouth, and gave her a thumbs up.

"you are awesome!"

"Who are you talking to? It sounds like a man's voice! You're having a private meeting with a man! I'm going to tell the stewards!"

Inside the corner door, Mengmei walked out with arms folded, with an expression of catching a rape on the bed.

Both Bai Kou and Lu Doudou were taken aback. They were so focused on the little brother just now that they didn't notice that someone was eavesdropping behind the door!
Lu Doudou raised her eyebrows with her hips akimbo, and was about to quarrel with Mengmei.

Bai Kou stepped on Lu Doudou's foot.

"Ah, Bai Kou, you stepped on me!" Bai Kou stepped on me harder, and Lu Doudou yelled.

"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, why did you put your foot down my foot?"

"Me? You!" Lu Doudou pointed at Bai Kou angrily, hugging her feet and screaming for pain.

"What man?" After finishing Lu Doudou, he turned to face Mengmei. Bai Kou looked blank and innocent, and looked back and forth between the back door and the front door of the kitchen. There was no outsider in the alleyway.

The little brother had already disappeared behind the corner at a surprisingly fast pace.

"Impossible! I clearly heard you talking to men!"

Mengmei pushed Bai Kou away and ran a few steps back and forth in the alley, but there was no one there.

The road leading to the yard where the cooks slept was a straight road, and it took hundreds of steps to get to the corners and side roads. In the direction leading to the kitchen door, the distance to the corner was shorter, but it was still fifty or sixty steps away.

Bai Kou stepped aside, "There must be evidence for what you say! Where is the man?"

Lu Doudou squatted on the ground and grinned and touched her feet. She also sneaked a look at both ends of the aisle. There was really no one, and the courage to quarrel immediately returned.

"Mengmei, you want men to talk in their dreams in the middle of the night, and everyone in the room can hear them. It's clear that you are daydreaming, so don't rely on me and Bai Kou!" Lu Doudou stood up on one foot, pointing Touching Mengmei's nose.

Mengmei is the older girl among the girls, exactly the age of Huaichun. Originally, her sleep talk was just a small episode. Everyone listened to a few words in the middle of the night. No one joked like gossip during the day, but now she said that Bai Kou and Lu Although Doudou met a man privately, although it had little to do with the truth, in order to prevent her from yelling out, she had no choice but to reveal her short story to protect herself.

"You guys!" Mengmei really blushed from anger, pointed at Bai Kou and Lu Doudou with trembling fingers, with tears in her eyes, she finally turned her head and ran back to the courtyard.

"Yo, you cried so soon? How thin-skinned is someone who can talk like that in his sleep at night?"

Lu Doudou breathed a sigh of relief, looked carefully at both ends of the aisle again, and leaned over to Bai Kou to whisper to her.

"That little brother walked quite fast, otherwise Mengmei would have seen him by just a few steps."

"That doesn't seem to be a boy."

"Huh? Why?"

"His steps and gait seem to have been trained in martial arts."

"You can see this?" Lu Doudou opened his eyes wide, covered his mouth and asked softly.

"He has a sense of power when he walks, and his figure is taller and straighter, and his eyes are also very energetic, just like the one in the storybook novels, which makes his eyes shine." Bai Kou was a famous cook in his previous life and participated in many activities. I've seen too many different people.

Lu Doudou recalled it carefully, and nodded in agreement, "It seems to be true. Bai Kou, you observe carefully. What did you do at home?"

"It's nothing. There are martial artists in the neighbors. As long as a novice practices hard for half a year, he will be different from others."

"Oh, no wonder. Tsk tsk, the servants in front of the old master are all practicing martial arts."

"That's natural. My lord, I'll be the new Duke soon. Personal safety is of course the first priority."

Bai Kou took a pumpkin stick from the paper bag in Lu Doudou's hand and put it in his mouth, took her hand and stepped into the corner door.
