Chapter 120: Someone Dares to Ignore the New Rules

When I returned to Wenling Courtyard, the girls didn't have to go to the ice cellar to run, three bags of ice were poured into the ice tray in the upper room, and the remaining bag was put in the small kitchen to make cold drinks and cold dishes. Rainbow Net, with you all the way! (.u debut)

Bai Ko washed her hands and face, put on a mask and headscarf, put on a covered skirt, and began to knead dough and make shredded cakes in the kitchen.

When Gu Yun arrived home, the dough in the kitchen had just been cooked, but it didn't take much time later, the third young master washed his face and wiped his face, changed his clothes, drank tea and rested in the house, and Bai Ko calmly carried the paper-like cake blank in the kitchen and put it in the oven.

Because tomorrow to try the food, Bai Ko waited for the third young master's supper, practiced two pages of calligraphy and went to bed early, the next morning, everyone sent the third young master out, she changed her clothes and went to the ice cellar, saw that the eight daughters-in-law arrived early, the third woman was telling them the new rules of the ice cellar, and when she saw Bai Ko coming, she immediately told her that the east kitchen had already taken away the pork belly.

Bai Ko hurriedly rushed to the east kitchen, and saw that everyone had already put the pork belly into a small steamer and was steaming on a high fire according to the plan in Zeng Zhu's hand, and the handymen in the courtyard were also divided into two batches, one batch for the noon tasting of the ingredients, and one group for the ladies and aunts at home to prepare lunch ingredients as usual.

Today's tasting is only one table, so there is plenty of time, the male chefs are watching from the side, Zeng Zhu is holding a paper in his hand and dispatching people to make all kinds of preparations, Bai Ko promised Huang Dahai and Cui Lin, the two stewards, as long as the menu is not changed, she will copy a copy for them to take to the western kitchen.

The original plan was to let Lu Meihua guard the white kitchen and oven, but she was suspended, Zeng Zhu had to focus on the white case, and the red kitchen was handed over to Bai Ko.

So today, I will go through the plan as it is, and if there are any omissions, it is better to improve them in time, and the two male stewards are also talking to each other on the side, discussing whether the people who take care of the oven directly let the cooks in the west kitchen be responsible for cooking in the west kitchen.

When it was almost noon, the girls who passed the dishes came, and the first food box containing cold dishes was carried to Rong'en Hall, and at the same time a stick of incense sticks was lit, and the second round of dishes on the table was under the loud command of Bai Ko, and the finishing work was done in an orderly manner.

The cold dishes and soup pots sent out in the first two rounds were sent back at this time, and half of them were left, and it was a pity to look at it, and the soup had been stewed on the stove since breakfast time.

The table of eight immortals is so big, a table of four people, in order to show the rich atmosphere of the first-class national prince, although the filial piety banquet is often simple and simple, but the same all have to be big fish, big meat, all chickens, all ducks, mountains and seafood, but the number of dishes is less, even soup with cold dishes a total of fourteen, can sweep the plate is estimated only on weekdays in the stomach lack of oil and water people, and it will be uncomfortable, because less plate does not mean less than the amount of dishes.

After all the dishes were finished, Bai Ko took off her mask and went to the shade under the tree, waiting for the girls from Rong Entang to send back the leftover meals, and listen to the opinions of the old lady and her wife on the dishes.

The cooks were busy trying the dishes, and the matter of making lunch for the young lady and the aunts fell to the male chef, and the cooks and cooks cleaned up the kitchen and beckoned everyone to eat.

There was no news from Jichengtang in the afternoon, and Bai Ko didn't inquire, Zeng Zhu was the acting manager, and it was right for the eldest lady to convey any conclusion directly to the East Kitchen.

It is estimated that before the third young master arrives home, he will have to go to the ice cellar to get ice as usual, and after the little girl ran for a while, in addition to bringing back the small urn containing the sour plum soup yesterday, she also brought Bai Ko a message from the third woman of Shui.

"The third lady said that from yesterday afternoon to now, the young masters and ladies in the third room have taken a total of seventeen ice packs, but the bag of the seventh young master has not returned."

"How many ice packs did the Seventh Young Master take?"

"Four, two at a time, didn't come back, when I went to get the ice, his girl was arguing with the third woman Shui, and she came to get the ice for the third time empty-handed, saying that the seventh young master was fat and afraid of heat."

"It's not that you don't want ice, and you can't eat that little straw bag, what are you doing if you don't hold it?"

"The straw bags are brand new, and they've only been filled with ice, so maybe they want to dry them. The population of the third room is large, and the career of the third master is not as smooth as the first two brothers, the official position is not high, and there are not many servants, and he can't afford to support his wife and children, concubines and a group of slaves with his little money, and most of the family's expenses are supported by the monthly appropriation of the public middle school, which is allocated according to the number of heads, but I don't know what is going on, I always feel that they have a hard time. Aunt Su went into the kitchen to get a drink, and interjected when she heard them talking.

Bai Ko rolled her eyes and asked the little girl.

"When you came back, did the third woman give people ice packs?"

"Given it, otherwise the noise will be too ugly, the young masters will all come home from school one after another for a while, and the courtyard is full of girls who come to get ice packs."

"In other words, the girls who are watching all know that the seventh young master took the straw bag from the ice cellar and didn't return it?"

"Poof! The third room is lively again! The little girl shrugged her shoulders and laughed.

"What's so nice about this bustle, it really came out that the people around the seventh young master diverted the straw bags in the ice cellar for other purposes, and even the third lady would be laughed at." Bai Ko shook his head and turned his head to look at the milk sauce boiling on the stove, which was intended for the sixth young master to make lactose.

"Hey, the third lady's face is long gone." Aunt Su opened the pantry and took out the large teapot with herbal tea.

"The resentment that the third lady has accumulated for several years will explode sooner or later, be careful, keep your distance from the people in the third room, lest you be affected by the pond fish one day." Bai Ko patiently stirred the thickening sauce in the pot, and motioned for the little girl to prepare the container for the sauce.

Lay oil paper in the copper bowl, pour the milk paste into it, cover it with clean gauze and put it in a ventilated place, and put it in the ice cellar after it cools.

The remaining milk used in the milk sauce is not wasted, the butter is melted in hot water, the caster sugar is stirred, then the milk is stirred, then the sifted flour is stirred, and finally the flaxseed is stirred into the final batter. In this era, there is no high-temperature oil paper that can enter the oven, so it can only be brushed with oil on the baking sheet, and the batter is smeared on the baking tray one by one, and the back of the copper spoon is dipped in water to spread the batter as thin as possible, and then put it in the oven.

Bai Ko only stirred the batter and left the baking of the crispy to the little girls, who already had some experience with the oven after so many days of training.

The girls took the batter to the oven room next door, and Bai Ko brought a pot of delicious puff pastry from the countertop next to the stove, folded it repeatedly and rolled it out repeatedly, until the last time it was folded in half like a quilt, cut into thin slices and put it in a baking tray, sprinkled with sugar, and sent to the oven room to wait for baking.

Today's snacks are all sweet, Bai Ko can almost imagine what kind of stinky face the third young master will be, so she took a little chicken from the ingredients for dinner to make fried seasonal vegetables chicken skewers, this time when there is no marinated meat, the chicken only needs to be mixed in the marinade gravy, and then skewered with vegetables on the bamboo skewers scalded in boiling water, put oil in the pan and fry slowly over low heat, brush the seasoning sauce before leaving the pot, and then fry for a short time You can sprinkle white sesame seeds on the plate.

Just as the chicken skewers were frying, the third young master arrived home.

Originally, the chicken skewers that were just trying to coax the third young master's mouth became a snack that the brothers competed for, so Bai Ko had to temporarily change the dinner menu and take out all the chicken** meat skewers, which made the two young masters enjoy eating
