delicious little cook

Chapter 89 Another New Errand
"Knowing that the pot of marinade is not yours, you actually dipped your fingers to taste it. If I hadn't discovered this in time, wouldn't I be eating your dirty hands?"

"The little ones don't dare! The little ones don't dare! Just this time, really just this time!"

"I can't believe you only did it this time. You've been in the East Kitchen for so many years, who knows how many times you've done similar tricks in the past." Gu Yun turned to look at Pang's mother, "Pang's mother, this is a public matter. , I will not interfere."

"Don't worry, young master, I'll leave the rest to the old man."

"Director Zeng, please wash my pot and send it back to Wenling Courtyard."

"Yes, Third Young Master." Zeng Zhu quickly took the burden from Bai Kou's hand.

Gu Yun finally threw a cold look at the two male chefs, and walked out first, Bai Kou and Mei Lun followed closely behind.

Halfway through the journey, Gu Yun, who had been silent all this time, stopped and looked down at Bai Kou with anger in his eyes.

"Third Young Master, what are your orders?" Bai Kou knew that this temper was not directed at her, so she calmly replied.

"The East Kitchen needs a thorough rectification. Otherwise, if they do something stupid during the filial piety banquet, our Duke Ye's mansion will really lose face."

"so?"

"You draw up a regulation, including the two kitchens and the ice cellar together. The people who enter and exit the ice cellar must be restricted. Public and private use must also be distinguished, and they cannot be mixed together. Those two idiots dare to unwrap the package. The burden is that no one knows."

"Third Young Master, it's easy to draw up the rules, but the kitchen is full of old people. It's not easy for them to change their long-standing habits."

"There is no habit that can't be changed. If you really can't change it, get out. Duke Ye's mansion doesn't raise waste."

"With your words, Manager Zeng Zhu will be able to do things easily. I will leave the matters of the regulations to the maidservant. The maidservant will discuss with Manager Zeng Zhu."

Gu Yun nodded and continued walking.

"By the way, I don't want the other things in the ice cellar. I bought them again. You can either throw them away or eat them yourself."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

"Come on, I'm starving."

Gu Yun walked fast, Bai Kou stepped on his rhythm and followed closely while maintaining a distance of two steps, Mei Lu was a little tired and out of breath, the small steps she was used to since she was a child could not keep up with the young master's pace.

After returning to Wenling Courtyard, the small kitchen had already been cleaned up. Bai Kou hurriedly washed her hands and face, wiped off the sweat from her body, wrapped her hair and put on a skirt, and went into the kitchen to start kneading noodles.

Mother Pang suspended the two male cooks who caused trouble for half a month, and rushed home to reflect on herself. If it wasn't for the time when the East Kitchen was employing people, she should have dismissed them directly and let them go home to eat.

After listening to Pang's mother's reply, the eldest lady also wondered whether she should clean up the east kitchen, otherwise it would be really lawless, and the master's private ingredients dared to mess around at will.

While the eldest lady and Mama Pang were chattering about getting a charter, the girl from Jicheng Hall finally brought lunch from the East Kitchen. There were a lot of things going on there today, and the meal time had to be postponed by almost half an hour.

The old lady had already had her grandson's filial lunch, and went to take a comfortable lunch break. The girl under her command took the food box from the East Kitchen and sent it directly to Wenling Courtyard as she had previously ordered.

Gu Yun was so angry that he didn't want to eat hot food, so he gave it all to the girls, and he had to wait for Bai Kou to make cold noodles for him.

Bai Kou sent the little girl to the ice cellar to get a small basin of ice, and comforted the third woman Shui, she was fine for the time being, and told her to eat and drink and continue to guard the ice cellar.

After a while, Bai Kou finally brought out a large bowl of mixed cold noodles. The noodles were still only soaked in chilled cold boiled water, because there were really no tools for making edible ice cubes. There were no ice trays or broken ice picks. The ice cubes provided can only be used to chill food and must not be eaten.

Seeing that his lunch finally arrived, Gu Yun, who was so hungry that he didn't even have the energy to get angry, immediately abandoned his image of a noble son and ate it right away.

Bai Kou, who was sitting outside the small kitchen door, was almost dying of hunger, but she was so tired that she didn't even have the appetite to eat. There were too many things to do this morning. When he realized that he didn't want to eat the ready-made food, Bai Kou wondered if he had a heat stroke.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have symptoms of heat stroke, and I always feel shortness of breath and chest tightness. Bai Kou stood up, dragging his heavy and soft legs, and touched a small pumpkin from the kitchen, washed it, peeled it, and gnawed on it , click, click, unknowingly, she finished eating the small melon that weighs eight or nine by herself.

"Bai Kou, don't you eat any rice? Can you get full if you eat melon?" Xiao Jing asked casually as she passed by Bai Kou when she finished picking up the rice in the bowl.

"I seem to be suffering from heat stroke. You should share the meal." Bai Kou wiped the juice on his face, and when he got up to wash his hands, he found that his legs were terribly weak.

Xiaojing yelled so that everyone heard it. Everyone put down what they were doing, gathered around Bai Kou, fetched water to wipe her face and wash her hands, and Mei Huan, who got up for lunch, ran to her sister's room to get some heat relief medicine.

Gu Yun, who was eating cold noodles, heard hurried footsteps outside, and asked Mei Lun to go out to have a look, only to hear back that Bai Kou had suffered from heat stroke.

Gu Yun immediately thought of the sweltering heat he felt outside the small kitchen door, and the fact that he was walking up and down under the scorching sun at noon, most likely due to heat stroke, so he asked Meilun to give Bai Kou some Rendan to eat, and put the The ice tray in his study was sent to Bai Kou's room. Anyway, he was going to take a lunch break, so it was a waste to keep the ice tray in the study.

Meilun immediately took the ice tray to Bai Kou's room, and Xiao Jing also poured all the leftover ice cubes for making cold noodles into the ice tray. Her clothes were lying down with only her bellyband and underwear left, she was wiped with warm water, and she was given medicine before everyone left and let her sleep peacefully.

Bai Kou felt uncomfortable at the beginning, and she felt dizzy when she moved on the bed. As the ice tray took effect, the room gradually cooled down, and the cool air entered her body with her breathing. Then Bai Kou felt better and fell asleep slowly. caught.

Gu Yunmeng was right about Bai Kou's symptoms of heatstroke, Ren Dan took effect, and when Bai Kou woke up, she felt her breathing became smoother and her spirit returned. After dressing and getting out of bed, she saw the medicine on the table. After eating again, I stepped out the door.

The backyard was quiet, and there was no one on duty outside the main room door. Bai Kou knew that the third young master was not in the yard, so she went straight to the front yard. Sure enough, she saw the girls eating fruits and resting in the shade. None of the big girls are here.

Seeing Bai Kou coming out, the girls came up to ask her if she was alright, and while she was washing her face, they cut a fruit plate for her, pulled her to sit in the shade, and chatted with fans.

It was only then that Bai Kou knew that the third young master had gone to Jicheng Hall, and that the Eldest Master had returned, and seemed to bring back bad news.
