Chapter 166: Lai Xingshi asks for guilt
The next day, Gu Yun rested at home, and received a reply early in the morning to the few letters he sent out yesterday, and the relatives and friends he had close to him lived in the workshops around the imperial city, and it was more convenient to contact each other.
Bai Ko knew that Yan Bo's news was not so fast, so she changed her clothes and rode out on horseback, and went to the various shops where she placed an order yesterday to see the customized things.
Her custom is really not a general standard piece, just the taste spoon is a strange multi-functional utensil, the shape can be used as a spoon, but also as a soy sauce dish and soup spoon base, the spoon is wide and the handle is long, and the number is quite a lot, this spoon is used once, and it can not be stretched into the pot for a second time after saliva, unless it is washed and scalded with boiling water.
Bai Ko himself can ensure that most dishes do not need to be tasted, but the girls under his hands, they are still going through the process of practice makes perfect.
Seeing that the taste of the spoon was made correctly, Bai Ko went to another blacksmith shop to check the measuring spoon and spice spoon, although her sketch was a little messy, but her length, width and height were given in various sizes very finely, and it didn't matter what the spoon handle was made, the main thing was that the size of the spoon surface could not be the slightest difference, otherwise the meaning of the measuring tool would be gone.
Of course, the most complicated scale will have to wait a few more days, in fact, there is a rod scale in the kitchen, but Bai Ko dislikes to use it is not as convenient as the scale, so he still spent a lot of money to customize one, which is also a loss to the prince has money in his hands, and is willing to let her spend money, otherwise she will not have new tools to use.
The most heart-wrenching thing for Bai Ko is actually a semi-automatic whisk, which is really technical content, the principle is similar to the semi-automatic mop that can be wrung water, placed vertically in the bowl, the handle keeps pressing and pressing, and the bottom of the head will rotate, which is much more labor-saving than pure manual work.
After walking around the shops that had received orders, the craftsmen were steadily showing the skills they had cultivated for many years, and Bai Ko finally went to the bookstore.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore had already typed several editions in clay type yesterday, and was thinking about whether to write a letter to ask the Yeguo Mansion, when he saw the owner step into his door.
After the two sides met, the shopkeeper took Bai Ko to the back typesetting room, showed her a few sample papers of trial printing, and discussed the details to be revised.
Bai Ko had no problem with what the specific layout looked like, as long as she left enough blank space for her to write, she wanted to make loose leaf inner pages, plus a leather style, just so that she could use the ready-made punches in the bookstore, otherwise how would the books they printed be bound.
The shopkeeper had never seen the leather and copper hardware that Bai Ko said, but the two businessmen communicated well, and Bai Ko drew a sketch for him, and in a few words he persuaded the shopkeeper who wanted to drink the first soup on this notepad.
If this book is really popular, there must be others copying it immediately, and if their bookstore wants to open up a stable long-term business, they will have to be willing to spend money and make it more refined than others.
Bai Ko was willing to pay for the leather sleeve, and after negotiating, the shopkeeper agreed to find a craftsman to customize the leather surface and copper hardware, and first make a few September brochures to see, anyway, Bai Ko dared to pack the ticket The grandfather and the prince must be interested, they are both people who have a lot of social activities, maybe the eldest lady will also be interested, and the daily worries of the lady in charge are also a basket of baskets.
The shopkeeper also admitted frankly that if it weren't for the signboard of the Yeguo Mansion, he wouldn't be so easy to speak.
Bai Ko hurriedly complimented the shopkeeper a few words, coaxing him to smile, and then said goodbye and rode back home.
In the stable returned the horse, Bai Ko went straight to Yan Bo, just as he had just received a letter from his family, the matter of seeing each other was settled, on the morning of the twenty-second day of the month, in the south of Tianshui Fang, two squares apart from the Fuyang Fang Donglong Temple.
Donglong Temple is a big temple of incense, and on the death day of the house in June, the old lady is to ask the monks of Donglong Temple to do the ritual.
As a matchmaker, Yan Bo will naturally set off together, otherwise it will become a private meeting between men and women, which is not good.
Bai Ko thanked Uncle Yan, went back to Zhongming Courtyard with the exact news to tell the prince, and then went to the ice cellar and the east kitchen for a turn, she also led the errands in these two places, for the sake of money, she couldn't be lazy.
After returning to Zhongmingyuan again, he was busy making lunch, and when Shizi's food was delivered to the main room, Bai Ko could sit down and rest for a while, he had hardly stopped this morning, and his legs were sore.
After a short lunch break, Bai Ko began to be busy with the things of going out on the twenty-second day, booking a car with the stable, and going to the temple to offer incense in the name of seeking to be on the list, in order to have a reason to bring the girl, Gu Yun also decided to go out by car, only let the guards ride horses and follow the car, and also prepare all kinds of offerings, so calculated, a total of three cars will go out that day, two to pull people, and one to pull things.
Originally, Bai Ko asked his subordinates to run errands and pass on messages, but Gu Yun asked Bai Ko to handle it personally, let her deal with different people, run in the front yard and back house, arrange the big and small things to go out, and take this opportunity to slowly understand all aspects of the house.
And in the courtyard, Meilun has been teased and teased by everyone, her face, ears and neck are flushed, Gu Yun is noisy, and most of them are driven to the porch to make trouble, he just asked Xiaoyi to write in the study and write replies to his friends one by one.
Alone in a room with the young and handsome young master, his deep voice was provocative, but Gu Xiaoyi didn't dare to wander around this time, forcibly endured his trembling hands and pounding heart, and wrote the reply letter one by one according to the content dictated by the young master.
When Bai Ko finally came back from running errands, she already had the whole charter in her heart, and after simply talking back to Shizi, she went back to her room to write down the various to-do lists, and before leaving on the twenty-second day, she had several progress to follow.
While she was busy, Xiaojing suddenly hurried into the white room and rushed into her study.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ko heard the movement and looked up to ask.
"Is the new chef under the Third Lady called Mengmei? She came to Xingshi to ask for guilt. ”
"Why? Can't make a chicken cake? ”
"Yes, she said there was a problem with the recipe you gave."
This is the most common excuse that losers make for themselves, that any mistake is someone else's fault, and that they themselves are always innocent victims. You can't do that in the future. ”
"We don't dare." Xiaojing shrunk her shoulders and smiled.
"Where is she now?" Bai Ko slowly gathered up the pen and paper.
"Standing under the porch, rushing over violently, I couldn't stop it, it was really like I had been wronged, and I complained directly in front of the young master with tears in my eyes." Xiaojing thought for a while, "But she is really beautiful, even if she cries, she is a beauty." ”
"This is the advantage of beauties, and you don't have this treatment if you change to an ugly point."
"That's right."
"You tell her to wait outside for a while, and I'll clean up and go out."
"Okay."
Xiaojing turned her head and went out, but Bai Ko was not in a hurry at all, slowly reconnected the train of thought that she had just interrupted, sorted out the paper with the to-do list in order, and then opened the makeup and cut her hair in the mirror before getting up and going out.
