delicious little cook

Chapter 92

After sending the young master out, Bai Kou practiced boxing a few times in the courtyard, then changed his clothes and ran to the ice cellar. When he got there, he found that the people sent by Yan Bo were already preparing to make an inventory.

Bai Kou hurried forward to help, they are all acquaintances who often meet, they are not very polite to each other, and they are quite easy to summon Bai Kou.

With Bai Kou on the side to take care of them, everyone's progress is much faster. Many of the ingredients that have been dug up over the years are thrown in the yard and still melted. I can't ask for it anymore, but after all, I bought it last year, so I didn't dare to throw it away without authorization, so I had to move it to another place and continue to store it, waiting for the master's instructions to deal with it.

The deep part of the ice cellar is used as a freezing area due to the low temperature all year round, and there are a lot of leftover ingredients frozen. Last night, the third young master did not believe that there would be stock from previous years. Now it seems that so many years have really wasted a lot of money. .

Bai Kou stayed here until halfway through the morning, when it was time to go to the east kitchen to work. Yan Bo's people were in the yard under the scorching sun to record the garbage thrown out one by one, while the people who moved in and out squatted in the shade. Take anti-heat medicine everywhere, otherwise you will be hot and cold, even if you don’t have a cold, you will have heat stroke.

In the east kitchen, except for the stewards who were resting, all the cooks and cooks were washing their hands and wearing smocks to prepare for work. The public did not replenish manpower for the time being, so that no one in the kitchen could be lazy.

As usual, I first shared yesterday's gossip with Aunt Nie, and then Bai Kou stepped into the East Kitchen compound. Suddenly, I found that the atmosphere in the courtyard was different from the past. Everyone was seriously waiting for the assigned work, and no one was sitting They chatted casually, and when they saw Bai Kou coming, they just told her to wash their hands quickly.

When assigning errands, the acting manager Zeng Zhu and Lu Meihua had a dispute. Zeng Zhu originally wanted to arrange for Bai Kou to guard the soup casserole, but Lu Meihua insisted on her roasting ribs, and mocked Zeng Zhu for wanting to shoot Bai Kou's sycophant only arranged such an easy thing.

The scene of the two stewards arguing in public was quite ugly, so Bai Kou chose the job of barbecue, and left the job of looking after the casserole to the cook appointed by Lu Meihua, and then hurried back to the ice cellar with two handymen to get the breakfast. Put in the marinated ribs.

The spare ribs prepared for the masters were marinated in two large pots, so after taking them back to the kitchen, they had to start grilling them. There was no time for people to sit down and wipe off their sweat.

The handymen have already prepared the roasting room, the open fire stove lit a charcoal fire, and the cleaned barbecue nets were piled up on the table. Bai Kou put all the ribs into the nets by himself, and put them on the stove. Line up the words, and then took out the handkerchief on his body to cover his mouth and nose.

After the ribs were roasted, Bai Kou asked someone to take them out to share the dishes, while she rushed to the well to fetch water to wash her face, thinking in her heart that when she saw the third young master in the afternoon, she must persuade him to agree to repair the big oven.

When the handymen saw that the roasting room was used up, they went in and turned off the fire. It happened that Lu Meihua had finished cooking her dishes and came out of the kitchen of the red case. At a glance, they saw Bai Kou twisting a wet handkerchief by the well, and the person entering and leaving the roasting room was The handyman, like a ignited firecracker, immediately cursed away.

"If you're in broad daylight, you're going to die! You don't even know if it's clean or not, but you dare to go into the roasting room. What if you're sick!"

The handymen couldn't answer back when they were scolded, so they slipped aside and let Lu Meihua scold them.

"The one by the well is a dead person? You are so afraid of the heat to death, what kind of cook are you so delicate?"

Bai Kou raised her wet face innocently, wiped off the water from her eyes with a handkerchief, and slowly opened her eyes to look at Lu Meihua standing outside the kitchen door of the red case.

"Ah? Steward Lu, are you calling your maidservant?"

"Are you blind? Don't know how to watch the roasting room and not let others mess in?"

"Guard Lu, the handyman is just helping the maid turn off the fire, don't you need to be so nervous? Doesn't your throat hurt from shouting?"

"Oh, you are the eldest lady. You need someone to help you when you turn off the fire! Don't you have hands? Can't you cook it yourself? You are here, where are your ribs? You don't even look at the dishes you cook. You dare to talk back!"

"Okay, okay, maidservant knows it's wrong, maidservant will just look at the ribs."

Bai Kou wrung out the handkerchief, wiped off the water from his face, and walked around Lu Meihua to the small kitchen next to Bai's kitchen. Food boxes are also here.

"What kind of attitude are you talking about! Do you dare to be disrespectful?!"

"Guard Lu, the servant girl respects you very much, and I don't mean any disrespect. I also ask Guanshi Lu to learn from you."

"How dare you talk back!"

Bai Kou felt a little helpless, Lu Meihua seemed to be looking for faults today, and Zeng Zhu was cooking for the old lady, so she couldn't spare time to be a peacemaker, and other people who were free were all holding hands and watching play.

"Guard Lu, I heard that the result of your examination yesterday was dirty dryness syndrome? Have you taken any medicine?"

"How dare you call me sick! Look at me tearing your mouth apart!"

Lu Meihua screamed for no reason, stretched out her hands and rushed towards Bai Kou.

Bai Kou nimbly dodged to the side, and Lu Meihua threw herself on the wall, so angry that she slapped and kicked the wall, the onlookers roared with laughter, no one came forward to persuade her, and Lu Meihua was allowed to laugh loudly in front of everyone. Lose face.

Seeing this scene, Bai Kou shook his head and went into the small kitchen to pack the ribs.

Yesterday's doctor was relentless. Lu Meihua actually let her go with such a serious ZS syndrome. The typical symptoms of this disease are moodiness and hysteria.

Zeng Zhu finally took a look and saw that Lu Meihua was still slapping and cursing by the wall. She walked to the well, poured a bucket of water into the vegetable washing basin, and splashed it all on Lu Meihua. body.

"Come here, help Steward Lu go back to the house and change clothes."

Zeng Zhu ordered lightly, and immediately two idle cooks came over, and left the quiet Lu Meihua on one side and left the other through the corner door.

"Bai Kou." Zeng Zhu called out to Xiaozaojian.

"Hey, Manager Zeng, what's your order?" Bai Kou responded, still holding chopsticks in his hand.

"That's the end of this matter, don't mention it anymore, the kitchen staff can't be reduced any more." Zeng Zhu hinted in his words.

"Yes, Manager Zeng." Bai Kou nodded obediently after receiving the hint.

"Go ahead and help others when you're done. Don't miss the meal time."

"My servant understands, Manager Zeng."

Bai Kou returned to the small kitchen and continued to pack the ribs, feeling a little regretful in her heart, she knew that if she complained to the third young master, Lu Meihua would also have to pack up and go home to eat herself, but since Zeng Zhu didn't allow it, she didn't say anything, Who told Zeng Guanshi to be acting manager now? In the east kitchen, she has the final say.

And this is also a step to build a good relationship with Zeng Zhu. After the ice cellar is cleaned up, the details of the new charter have to be discussed with Zeng Zhu, so we can't mess up the relationship right now.
