delicious little cook

Chapter 923
The busy morning passed quickly, Bai Kou still had an appointment in the afternoon, Gu Yun finally came to his senses, jumped up and wanted to take Bai Kou to the street for lunch, but Bai Kou didn't want to go to the street, she wanted to come back after eating in the cafeteria Take a nap before going out to meet people.

Gu Yun had nothing to do with her, so he sat back on the chair listlessly.

After Bai Kou arranged things for the afternoon, she was going to have lunch. When she turned her head and saw Gu Yun sitting there listlessly, she thought he was not feeling well, so she walked over to touch his forehead.

Gu Yun trembled violently, he raised his hand and wanted to shake Bai Kou's hand, but Bai Kou withdrew his hand before him.

"Don't you have a fever? What are you doing listlessly? Did you eat your stomach?"

"How could it be possible to eat a bad stomach..."

"Why do you look so listless? It's time for lunch, aren't you hungry? Then you continue to read the documents, I'm going to eat."

"Don't!" Seeing that Bai Kou was really planning to abandon him, Gu Yun grabbed her hand and stood up anxiously, "Can't I eat?"

"Let's go then. I have work to do in the afternoon. I'll be busy until dark."

"Then shall we eat on the street at night? Shall I take you to a private restaurant that you have never been to?"

"The food is good?"

"Very good!" Gu Yun quickly recalled the menu of the private restaurant in his mind, and nodded vigorously, "I'll take you there, and you will have a new place to entertain guests in the future."

"Let's talk about dinner in the evening. I don't know how long I will be busy in the afternoon. Let's go for a walk and eat. I'm hungry."

Gu Yun suddenly beamed with joy, took Bai Kou's hand and walked out, "Yeah, let's go eat."

Walking to the door, Bai Kou stepped on Gu Yun's foot, Gu Yun was caught off guard and let out a strange cry, Bai Kou took the opportunity to shake off his hand, and the subordinates passing outside the door who were also going to eat heard the sound and looked back curiously.

"Big shopkeeper, was it the voice of the big boss just now?"

"Yeah, he hit the door frame."

"what?!"

"He's such a big man, he's still distracted when he walks." Bai Kou opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Don't worry about him, he will only walk properly next time when he bumps once and knows it hurts."

Bai Kou left on his own, while Gu Yun stayed behind with a wry smile to accept the condolences from his subordinates.

"Big Boss, are you okay? The material of this door frame is very solid, and it will bruise when it hits it."

"Master, the place here is narrow, please walk slowly."

"Well, okay, pay attention next time, hehehehe..."

Gu Yun endured the headache in his toes, and pretended that nothing had happened, and went to the cafeteria with these subordinates to eat. When they walked slowly into the cafeteria door, Bai Kou was already sitting upstairs and started eating.

Lunch time was tense, Bai Kou went back to take a lunch break after eating by himself, Gu Yun and the stewards rested in the lounge. After getting out, it was already dark outside, both of them were tired and hungry, climbed into the carriage and Gu Yun ordered Lao Cui to go to that private restaurant, his guards should have booked a room.

Private restaurants are usually opened in residential areas, and they cook specialty specialties. The chefs in charge are male or female, and they can't cook several tables a day, so the price of a table of wine and food is very expensive, even if it is opened in a private house in an ordinary residential building. Restaurants generally do not do business with neighbors.

What Gu Yun took Bai Kou to was a private restaurant opened by an upper-middle-class family's house. It covers an area of ​​several acres, has more rooms, and can entertain more guests. Even if Gu Yun makes a temporary reservation, there are still vacancies.

The two of them ate a table of dishes, and the maid who was supposed to serve the guests at the table to peel the shells, peel the skins, pick the thorns and serve the soup was also sent to stand outside, and was not allowed to come in except to serve the dishes. Gu Yun took care of it all by himself, and Bai Kou just ate.

This kind of private restaurant that attracts gluttonous people and rich people can't open it without any distinctive features. Bai Kou is also very satisfied with her picky tongue, so she will silently write down the name of this restaurant, next time Invite others to eat.

Seeing that Bai Kou was eating happily, Gu Yun was also happy, the two had a hearty meal, and then they took Bai Kou's carriage together and rushed back to Tianshuifang in front of Guanfang Gate.

Gu Yun hummed a little song and returned to the Zhongming Courtyard. Seeing that he was in a good mood today, the maids joked with him one after another, teasing him whether he found money today or met the girl he likes. They sang a little song, washed their hands, changed their clothes, and went to the ear room to read.

Bai Kou returned to her small courtyard. After washing her hands and changing her clothes, Xiao Ye Zi handed her a letter with Princess Jingyun's name on the cover, but at the same time told her another thing, Bai Rui came to find her in the evening. Looking past her, it seems that there is quite an urgent matter.

Looking at the letter in his hand, he thought that after going to reject the marriage proposal for his sister yesterday, he was interrupted by various things and forgot to tell her the result. It has been a whole day today, and maybe Bai Yeshou and his son have already heard the news.

Bai Kou put down the letter resolutely, put on her cloak, raised the lamp and went out again. She didn't have time during the day, so she had time to deal with the private affairs of the two sisters at night.

The women's tea room was locked, but Bai Rui was sitting in the porter behind the door, and when she heard Bai Kou's voice knocking on the door, she immediately opened the door to welcome her in.

"You came back very late today."

"Well, there are many things." Bai Kou pulled Bai Rui into the concierge and talked, "My girl said you are in a hurry to find me for something urgent?"

"Well, yesterday you went to Lu's house and refused to propose a marriage. Today, someone from the family came. I don't know which aunt it is. She has such a sharp mouth. Please advise me to be more sensible, saying that our family's accident has added so much to the family. The big trouble is almost a catastrophe for the whole clan, and I should do something for the clan now, so don't let me know what is good or bad."

"When did you come? During business hours?"

"Well, it's time to close the door for guests."

"Meet outsiders during business hours, sister, what do you think? Are you going to break the rules of the tea room?"

"I didn't mean it. I was a little panicked when I heard that it was someone from the clan, but we didn't talk outside here, we talked in my room."

"Sister, you are too kind. You even invited me to your room to tell you that the entire teahouse is Gu Yun's property. Bai Hong is not allowed to bring friends in to play. Sister, you let outsiders come in to see the situation clearly. ?”

Bai Rui was so frightened that she regretted it too much, "I was confused, I didn't think so much, as soon as I heard she said she was sent by the patriarch, I invited her in, I was confused, I was confused."

"Sister, didn't I tell you that when people from the clan come to you, you just ask them to come to me. If someone wants to talk about responsibilities, you can say that our house has been expelled from the clan long ago, and we are for the clan. You have caused trouble, but you have paid the price. Now you are not obliged to help the family in crisis. The family wants you to make sacrifices to deceive an innocent third party. You have to sue the government and make the family sue. You promised well last time, why? Forget about it when it’s over.”

"I'm confused! I'm confused!" Bai Rui whimpered, "What should I do now?"

"How did you go home?"

"I just said that I had to think about it, and the teahouse was still open, and I told her not to disturb my work, and the owner behind the broken business was about to come forward, which scared her away."

"The second half of the sentence is still smart, sister. In short, you should kill that sentence. If anyone asks you, push it to me. Don't agree to anything. You are all adults. You must have a brain in doing things. You You are the only one to do what you promised yourself, and it is your business that you promise to marry, and you will bear the consequences, whether good or bad, sister, you are ten years older than me, do you want me to treat you like a child?"

"No, no, I understand, I understand. This time, I must remember that if they come again, I will not let them in again."

"This women's teahouse is Gu Yun's business. If outsiders come to harass you, just sue Marquis Wu and send them away. You are the cook hired by Gu Yun. What are you afraid of with the support of a big son like him? If they dare to come, We can still sue them for harassing customers, hindering business and affecting word of mouth. How about you, sister, invite someone into the house?!"

"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong. I didn't expect it to be so deep. I have had a deep relationship with the patriarch since I was a child. When that aunt said that, I panicked."

"Okay, remember today's lesson, and if I make mistakes again, I have to consider whether my sister is up to the job now, and change people as soon as possible before you get into big trouble."

Bai Rui was quite frightened at this time. Maybe the threat of losing her job is real. Although she has a dowry back in her hand, she wants to leave it to her daughter as a dowry. Her mother and daughter still have to pay for their daily expenses Rely on this cook's salary.

"Sister, this is a business. You are a hired cook. You can't ruin someone's job if you make money. Only by protecting the interests of the employer can you protect your own interests. If you can't do it, we will terminate the employment contract. It's as simple as that." .”

"No, no, no! Don't do this! I can do it, I will definitely do it, next time I won't be confused, I will definitely put aside the relationship with the clan, and only consider the immediate interests."

"I hope my sister will do what she says. This is the last chance, and business comes first."

"I know, I really remember it, and I won't make any mistakes again."

"Let me believe my sister again. If you didn't give a definite answer today, they will definitely send someone again. You told the maids to keep people outside and not allowed to enter the gate. The courtyard is full of servants of the guests, so many people are watching , if you compromise, you will hit Gu Yun in the face, you know that?"

Bai Rui sobbed desperately and nodded.

Seeing her like this, Bai Kou was powerless to criticize her any more. After all, she was the eldest daughter. Since she was a child, her second grandfather called her second grandfather, and she had a deep relationship with that family. Now that her clansman came to her, she felt nervous and panicked, but there was nothing she could do.

"It's getting late, sister, go to bed earlier, just don't be confused again, I can forgive you again and again, but Gu Yun can't, he is the big boss, you have to listen to him when you earn his money, when he loses patience, My pleading is in vain, because the whole teahouse belongs to him, and I only have the right to speak in the business of the factory, and since he fired you, it is impossible for me to invite you to work in the factory again. Is he the face of a big boss? Since we are making money together, we can’t ruin our own jobs, sister, do you think this is the truth?”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! You are right, all of them are right. It was my stupidity that made me mess up. Give me another chance, just this one time. If I am stupid again, I will resign myself and I will never make it difficult for you."

"That's it. I'll go back first. You should go to bed early. You've been tired all day."

Bai Kou got up and opened the door to go out. Bai Rui wiped away her tears and sent Bai Kou out of the door. After locking it, she went back to her room, sat in the cold hall and adjusted her emotions over and over again. No matter how deep the relationship was before, I have to let go, but now I am just a stranger.
