Chapter 140 It's a contract, do what you like

"Fat aunt, my master asked this girl to follow you in the kitchen to prepare lunch for lunch, and if you have something to do, tell her to do it," the guard said briefly and left.

Seeing Cardamom, the cook in the mansion hurriedly asked her what the young master would like to eat tonight.

"It's sweet and sour," said Cardamom, and the cook frowned.

"Fat aunt, I just came to this mansion too. I heard from the maids in the mansion that Mr. Bai doesn't like sweets. Could it be that you got it wrong, kid?"

Cardamom smiled slightly, "Fat Aunt, it seems that the people in this house are not strict with their mouths, and the master's preferences can't be revealed casually."

Fat Aunt didn't take it seriously, and smiled heartily, "Most of the maids in the mansion are from our local area, and there are also Fat Aunts who serve outside, which I have seen growing up since I was a child."

The Bai family is far away in the capital, and their business is spread all over the world. It is impossible to keep servants and maids by their side at all times. Every time they go to a place, they will find some well-behaved maids and obedient servants from the local area, which is quite safe.

Bai Xinghe was no exception. Apart from the few bodyguards his brother gave him and the two girls who served him, the rest were all found locally.

Auntie Fat washed vegetables, cut vegetables, boiled oil and put them in the pan, she looked like a good cook, Cardamom was on the side to help out, and asked about the situation in the house by the way.

"Aunt Fat, how long have you been here? Are you tired of being a cook here?"

"It's been three or five days, but I'm not tired. It's just that the little girls in the house often talk about it, and the fat aunt's ears are calloused."

Cardamom was picking beans, when she heard footsteps coming from outside, she poked her head and found that it was a food delivery person.

Fresh vegetables, fruits, all kinds of meat, and a lot to see.

Seeing that Dou Ko was dumbfounded at this pile of things, she said with a smile, "It's not that there are many people in the mansion, but I heard from the people who served by Mr. Bai's side that there is a distinguished guest here today, and he must be someone who is very important."

VIP?
When she and her father asked to see each other today, he was still sleeping with his head covered. If it was really a distinguished guest, according to Bai Xinghe's temperament, he would have tied her up to help in the kitchen.

"You little girl, why have you been sent to the kitchen? Did you make a mistake and be punished?" The fat aunt said and revealed something to herself, "You are lucky girl, last time The girl who made a mistake lived across the door from Aunt Fat's house, and when she was delivering water to the tea room, she accidentally broke the cup and splashed it on a painting, and she was kicked out of the house that day."

Tea room painting.

Cardamom absent-mindedly threw the beans into the water, washed them several times, and handed them to Aunt Fat, "Aunt Fat, my stomach hurts."

"Go quickly," Fat Aunt took over Cardamom's job and told her to go quickly.

The fat aunt was only responsible for cooking Bai Xinghe's meals, and the meals for the servant girls in the mansion were prepared by others in another kitchen, so the fat aunt thought that Doumou was going to be lazy, so she turned a blind eye and let her go out.

Cardamom glanced at the servant who was pruning branches on the corridor, paused, and got out of the garden.

Anping was telling the guards that he wanted to go back and bring a letter to his family, so as not to worry the family. ,
"Uncle, the young master said that you are guests of the house, you are free to come and go, let me go and tell the guards before you can go out," the guard led Anping to the gate, gave some instructions, and turned to see Cardamom also coming.

"I'm going out to buy something, Dad, I'll go with you," Dou Kou took Dad's hand, and walked out the gate of the house with him.

There were people coming and going on the bluestone old street, and many people were patiently waiting for Bai Xinghe to be summoned by the front door. Dou Kou pulled Dad out of the alley and said to Dad, "Father, you go home and tell Mom, I Go buy some hawthorns and come back."

"Father, let's go together. The guard said just now that we are free to come and go. We just need to help cook for three meals a day. We cook lunch and go home together."

Cardamom was dragged by her father to go shopping on the street, and soon Anping's arms were full.

Anping looked at the things in his arms and asked with a frown, "Why are they all worthless things?" Dried hawthorn, dried bayberries, dried plums, and a few others that he couldn't name.

"The dishes brought by the kitchen today are all greasy meat, make some sour plum soup, just do what you like." She sneaked out out of a guilty conscience and wanted to flatter Bai Xinghe. Don't be ashamed, just pretend that you haven't heard about the fat aunt saying that the house wants visitors.

After shopping around, I went back to my house and put down my things. Cardamom searched the kitchen but couldn't find any rock sugar, and I didn't know where it was when I asked my fat aunt.

"Mr. Bai doesn't eat sweets, and he never leaves them in the kitchen. Go find the maids next to Mr. Bai. Aunt Fat brought them some rock candy last time. Maybe they still have some more."

Cardamom ran across the promenade, the branches stretching outside had been trimmed clean, and several servant-like people were looking down at the discarded leaves.

When passing by, I heard that these people were still curious about Mr. Bai's sudden interest.

The servants and maidservants in the mansion were not trained from childhood, they were just temporarily hired by the mansion, so the rules were actually not so strict when the master was away, and Dougao was lucky to hear a little bit of the wind.

A little bit about a guest coming to your door today.

In addition to letting people swallow and cut the branches of the long corridor, they also asked people to put away all the white ornaments in the mansion, whether they were jade or utensils, as long as they were white.

When Dou Kou went to the maid's room to look for rock candy, they were clearing away the white vases in the backyard. Dou Kou is small but has a good reputation with Bai Xinghe's personal maids. One of the maids with willow leaf eyebrows saw her running and said with a smile, "You are Dou Kou Bar?"

She nodded, explaining her purpose.

"Come with me, there's still a lot left, but I don't like sweets, so take rock candy and be careful not to offend him," the servant girl kindly reminded Doumao not to take the wrong things.

"I'm going to make some sour plum soup, but I forgot to buy rock sugar," Cardamom always said that she was cautious in doing things, but today she had too many things on her mind, so she forgot.

The servant girl heard that she was going to make sour plum soup, so she hurriedly said, "Then remember, don't use a white bowl to serve it, and don't put white chrysanthemums in it," the maid said after thinking about it. , "There seems to be nothing else, you have to be smart, don't let Grandpa see the white things."

Cardamom asked puzzled, "Don't Mr. Bai like to wear white clothes the most? But it sounds like he is very jealous of this color."

The little maid hurriedly covered Cardamom's mouth and booed, and said with a serious face, "It's not that the master is taboo, it's that the people who are coming today are taboo about this color."

The other maid who was tidying up at the side looked around the house, and said with a little worry, "Let's remind them one by one, so as not to make mistakes in the busy noon."

Cardamom returned to the kitchen with rock sugar in her arms, and saw that the fat aunt was putting away the white dishes, "It's just in time, the white dishes are not allowed to be used, only these wooden and bamboo dishes are left. Here's an easy job for you, go soak these in lukewarm water so they don't get thorns on them."
