delicious little cook

Chapter 9 Contradictions that exist all the time

"We made Mengmei cry just now, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement going on this month. Keep your spirits up and don't let anyone cheat you."

"what!?"

Lu Doudou is a girl whose emotional and intellectual development matches her age. She couldn't keep up with Bai Kou's thoughts at all, so she was dragged to the well by her in a daze, and started to process the dinner ingredients from the handyman.

The handyman divided twenty or thirty large fish for dinner between the two of them for scaling and cleaning. Given their proficiency, the scaling was quick, but the washing of the fish was really slow. It would be good to be beaten by the steward with a firewood stick.

Bai Kou and Lu Doudou disemboweled the fish one by one, took out the internal organs, and then threw them into the large basin next to them. After handling dozens of fish in this way, they went to the well to wash the fish.

After washing away two basins of bloody water, the two went to the well for the third time to fetch water. Lu Doudou threw the bucket into the well, and Bai Kou shook the wheel to pull the bucket up, and Lu Doudou stretched out his arms to pull the bucket up. to the edge of the well.

The kitchen consumes a lot of water, so the well is also very large. There is no problem in filling two people side by side. The well ropes and buckets used are also thick and big. A full bucket of water is very heavy. Lu Doudou is small. She supported the well platform with her left hand, and stretched her right arm vigorously to pull the bucket.

After working at one go for so long, Lu Doudou was a little tired, and her physical strength was obviously exhausted at this time. Bai Kou saw that she was struggling, so she fixed the handle of the wheel and went to help her. The two of them were trying to reach out to connect the bucket to the well. When he got up, there was a sudden force behind him.

The ground by the well was slippery. In order to hold the bucket, Bai Kou and Lu Doudou's upper body was almost suspended on the well surface. Unprepared, there was such a sudden bump from the back, and their feet slipped. planted.

The boys and girls who were waiting to fetch water by the well all screamed when they saw this scene, and a few people who happened to be empty-handed immediately rushed to Bai Kou and Lu Doudou, grabbing their clothes dangerously , dragged back hurriedly.

Bai Kou was taller than Lu Doudou, she stood firmly on her feet, and her knees were against the wall of the well platform. When she was attacked, she just threw her upper body into the well, and there was no danger of falling. The shorter Doudou would be miserable At this point, her feet were really off the ground. Fortunately, Bai Kou reached out to stop her, and then the rescue arrived, and the danger was saved before it caused a tragedy.

"How? Are you scared?"

"Are you ok?"

"Are you hurt?"

"It's okay, it's okay, you're all fine."

"Which guy is so blind!?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was holding the vegetable basket, so I didn't see you two." A simple-looking young man held the vegetable basket in one hand, touched his head with the other, and smiled so innocently that people couldn't help but beat him a few times. .

The handymen also came over to ask about their health. The cooks and cooks saw that the commotion here had calmed down, they looked around and ignored them, and went about their business.

"We were not injured, thank you everyone for saving us."

Bai Kou quickly patted her body with her hands, from her shoulders to her calves, but she didn't find any bumps. She checked Lu Doudou's whole body in this way, and both of them were fine.

While thanking everyone for their timely help, Bai Kou saw Mengmei standing behind the crowd with a sneer and provocative eyes.

Bai Kou looked away flatly, and didn't jump to scold her. The future is long, and we still have a month to get along with each other day and night. Sometimes there is a chance to get revenge. Don't rush at this moment. If you think that this level of mischief can scare her If you have the guts, that's the way to laugh your ass off.

"Doudou, are you okay?"

Still a careful girl found that something was wrong with Lu Doudou, she clenched her teeth and clenched her fists, as if she was overly frightened.

Bai Kou turned his head to look, and immediately raised his hand to open his mouth. Lu Doudou's face was in pain, and he woke up with tears in his eyes, but his clenched fists relaxed, and he seemed to have regained his composure. .

This group of apprentices, who are not even official servants, didn't have much time to recuperate, and when the situation subsided, everyone stopped talking, let alone making this small accident a big deal, and soon everyone went back to their respective places. After working, he sent the washed ingredients to the kitchen smoothly, and then watched Wen Gushan and the stewards cook the dishes.

After the maids from each courtyard took away the dinner, Wen Gushan announced that since the Da Furen allowed the apprentices to go to the stove to practice their hands, they would make their own dinner, and whether it was delicious or not was their own business.

This was good news for the apprentices, so after Wen Gushan, the cook and the cooks finished their dishes and took them to the tea room next door for dinner, the apprentices used the remaining ingredients to make dinner for themselves.

Relying on their size and strength, the boys snatched a lot of ingredients from the girls, and even occupied the stove so that the girls could only watch from the sidelines.

Bai Kou had a quick eye, and when she saw that the boys were all focused on scrambling for ingredients, she led Lu Doudou and carried the rice steamer to Bai's kitchen. Hong Su reacted quickly, and took a can of fermented bean curd and a few Salted duck egg ran away with Bai Kou, and the rest of the girls immediately followed suit, holding the bowls and chopsticks, and took a few pickles to eat together.

With such a large amount of labor in the kitchen every day, you must eat staple food, and you can’t stand it with just vegetables. Aren’t the boys selfish, so they are hungry.

Pickled vegetables and plain rice, the girls ate with gusto, not long after, Shi Ping led two brothers who had a good time, each brought in a tray, and brought six plates of newly stir-fried vegetables, all of which were vegetarian. But the portion is enough for the girls to share.

"Girls, we know we're wrong, why don't we order some rice?" The one who spoke was An Huaishan, a boy who looked a bit naughty, winking and making a ridiculous expression.

The girls were all amused by him, and the person who wanted to serve the rice hurriedly added a few spoonfuls, and the rice left in the steamer was enough for the boys.

"By the way, I heard that when a man is narrow-minded, he wants to kill all the objects that hinder him and eat alone. Today we will teach you such a lesson. Do you want to occupy all the ingredients, stove and staple food tomorrow? Revenge? It would be best if we girls don't have a bite to eat to be happy?" Bai Kou picked up a chopstick and put Su Sansi in the bowl.

The girls' chatting and laughing stopped abruptly, and they looked at Shi Ping and the three of them together, waiting for them to express their views.

Shi Ping glanced at Bai Kou in surprise, An Huaishan waved his hands again and again, "No, no, how could we do this, we all work together."

"Xiang Wen behind you doesn't seem to think so." Bai Kou put Su Sansi into her mouth leisurely. She just said that because she saw the mischievous expression on Xiang Wen's face.

Xiang Wen was caught off guard by Bai Kou who pierced what he was thinking, showing surprise on his face, shaking his head and waving his hands, firmly refusing to admit it.

Bai Kou didn't care if they admitted it or not, it was just an ugly remark.

The boys didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly carried the steamer back to the Hongan kitchen.

But after a while, Shi Ping came over with another plate, which contained two kinds of meat.

"Okay! You eat meat! Let us be vegetarian! Bai Kou is right, you just eat alone!" The girls were angry, and they slapped the table to stand up.

Shi Ping put down his plate and fled in a hurry.
