Chapter 105: Opportunities Sometimes You Have to Fight for Yourself
Smelling the aroma of roasted chicken thighs through the oil paper, Yan Bo smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and told Bai Ko the latest news sent by his family this morning, the nephew of Zhao's shopkeeper who wanted to marry Meilun, his uncle's cousin was the age of the family, and he heard that Meilun had a seventeen-year-old sister Meihuan, and the family was moved. Rainbow Net, with you all the way!
Bai Ko listened to it straightforwardly, but he didn't say yes, he only asked Uncle Yan to check some more information, after all, the cousin of the uncle's family was too far away from the shopkeeper Zhao, and it was impossible to just listen to other people's empty words and white teeth.
Yan Bo smiled, and without waiting for him to speak, Bai Ko promised a lot of delicious food, which made Yan Bo laugh, whatever he wanted.
After returning to Wenling Courtyard, Bai Ko naturally told Meihuan about the latest news, and in the midst of everyone's coaxing, she made her blush, hiding behind her sister and not daring to look up.
When Gu Yun came home from school, he saw that the courtyard was very lively, and everyone quickly told the young master about the beautiful good things, and learned that Bai Qiao had entrusted Yan Bo to inquire about the other party's family history, Gu Yun was also happy and relaxed, and waited for the results of the investigation of the nephew of Zhao's shopkeeper's family.
Bai Ko made roasted cold noodles as a snack, spread vegetables and smoked sausages in the cold noodles, salty, spicy and crispy taste, and added a cup of fruit iced tea, let the two young masters eat first, and the oven is still roasting beef jerky.
Of course, the almond tofu promised the little young master also made a large portion, and the sixth young master Gu Chen was just the opposite of his brother, and his taste preferred sweets, but for the sake of his teeth, the family strictly controlled the amount of sugar he ate, so the almond tofu made by Bai Ko was not watered with sugar osmanthus, but with diced fruit, and the little young master still ate it with relish.
The brothers finished the dim sum slowly, and the fragrant spicy roast beef jerky was just out of the oven, with a hint of sweetness in the salty and spicy, which made people reluctant to stop after tasting it.
Bai Ko gave half of the roast beef jerky to each of their brothers, but they were all divided into several small portions and wrapped separately, eating one pack and taking one pack, and the sixth young master happily took his share of beef jerky back to borrow flowers from his parents to offer Buddha.
Gu Yun also couldn't help it, and immediately opened a pack and put it on the desk, chewing while reading the book, the more he chewed, the more flavorful it became.
The big bowl of sauce and big bones served on the table at dinner startled Gu Yun, but after counting carefully, there were only four pieces in total, so he sat down and gnawed slowly, in fact, there was a pot of soup with more weight to be sent to Rong Entang.
The previous trial hosted by Wen Gushan made the old lady and the old lady not very satisfied, so Bai Ko saved a little thought, and wanted to try to see if there were any dishes that interested the masters to be added to the menu of the filial piety banquet after such a dish delivery every night.
The death day of the first prince is June 19, and the filial piety banquet is also on that day, and now it is the end of April, and there are three more days in May, the preparations that should be made can not be delayed any longer, the menu is determined before the store to book the ingredients and raw materials, and the clansmen come to eat after the banquet, before leaving the return gift to take home, are also to be booked with the store, early is better than late.
The old lady resolutely did not allow the three old ladies to come to the banquet, so the separate table of vegetarian banquets was canceled, but so many menus were not written in vain, and Bai Ko knew that his actions had left a deep impression on the old lady's heart.
Gu Yun went to say goodnight to the elders after dinner, and when he came back, he called Bai Ko to the main room to talk, and conveyed the instructions from the old grandmother.
"The old lady likes tonight's sauce bones, but unfortunately it is only suitable for the family to eat by themselves behind closed doors, and it cannot be used at the banquet."
"The maid understands, the men are okay, let the ladies and ladies directly hold the gnawing bones with their hands, the image is too unsightly." Bai Ko bowed and expressed his understanding, it was simply too beautiful to look at directly.
"The old lady said, you make a braised pork for her to eat, but don't be plain and greasy."
"Okay, then make mash braised pork, which has the fragrance of sake lees and relieves greasy." Bai Ko doesn't need to think about the time at all, just open his mouth.
"There can't be a dripping soup."
"I understand, ladies and ladies are not suitable for feasting with a mouth full of oily soup splashing."
"Since you all understand, then you can make this dish first in the next few days, if the old lady likes it, there are all chickens and ducks waiting for you. The poached tofu remains the same, and if you take all three dishes, the menu is up to you. ”
"Third Young Master, it's easy to write a menu, but who is the chef?"
"You want to be a chef? Can you call those old people? Aren't you afraid they'll cause you trouble? Whatever goes wrong at the banquet is the chef's fault, you know the rule, as long as one person mischievokes with you, no one can save you after the banquet. ”
"Third Young Master, with the size of the courtyard in Rong En Hall, it is estimated that there are no more than fifty female guests, right? In addition to a few main tables on the high platform, ten Eight Immortal Tables can be placed on the flat ground below without getting in the way, and a few more will affect the walking between the people. ”
"Hmm, then?"
"For a banquet of less than fifty people, four people at a table, based on the number of existing cooks in the East Kitchen, there are fifteen people from the steward to the third-class cook, which is more than enough, and the required manpower is a person who specializes in passing dishes, and the table of eight immortals is too small, and the plates in front of the last round of new dishes must be removed in time."
"You don't have to worry about the people who serve the food and the table waiting, do you dare to pack the ticket for the things in the kitchen?"
"Steward Zeng Zhu is now the acting manager, she will definitely be the top chef at that time, just let the maid be her deputy, and there is no problem with packing tickets. The steward was responsible for controlling the unified arrangement of the whole scene, and the servant was only in charge. ”
"Do you want a first- or second-class old cook to give you a hand? They're going to play tricks on you. ”
"If the old chefs don't obey the command and drive them out, it just so happens that the third-class cooks will take over, and the maid will take Xiaoqian Xiaojing and the six girls to be the fire girls, no matter how manpower is counted, it will be enough."
"I know you have a few good sisters, but do you have too much faith in them? Taking the opportunity of the banquet, the third-class chef stepped directly on the head of the first- and second-class cooks without going through the promotion competition, and was careful to arouse public anger. ”
"In that tense moment when every second counts, people who can't obey the command, Third Young Master, what do you think is the use of keeping it? On the battlefield, what kind of punishment will a soldier receive for disobeying the general's orders? ”
Gu Yun was silent for a moment, still shaking his head.
"In addition to Zeng Zhu, there is also a Lu Meihua, they will be one and the same at that time, at most, it depends on the part of the menu you have drawn up, let you be in charge of the four main dishes, and then you will find a chance to let your good sister earn some tables."
"Well, that seems to work."
"Don't be too greedy, let's make the dishes first, if you don't get the opportunity to draw up a menu, everything will be empty later."
"Yes, Third Young Master, tomorrow morning, the maid will find Yan Bocai to buy ingredients."
