Chapter 121: Beware of Greed for Small Gains and Big Losses
The next morning, Bai Ko finished her routine and went to the ice cellar on the way to the east kitchen, where she listened to the complaints of the third wife and her daughter-in-law.
"Sister Coo, this can't be done, the sun has just risen for a while, and the girl of the Seventh Young Master has come to get ice. If you take the ice, you will take the ice, not that you will not give it to him, but she will be empty-handed, and ask her where the straw bags are, and in turn scold us for being sick, and ask for a few worthless straw bags. ”
The daughters-in-law followed behind the third woman of the water and echoed in unison.
"Sister Coo, do you think we should talk to Aunt Fu's girl? Their mother and son live in the same courtyard, what does the girl know? ”
"This straw bag is specially knitted by someone, because you can't buy such a small spot on the market, and you have to pay a penny for a bag just for handmade money, who said that the bag is worthless, tell her to make up the money, and the straw bag will be sold to them." Bai Ko hugged his hand and said lightly.
The third wife and daughter-in-law shook their heads one after another, saying that this was impossible.
"The girl of the Seventh Young Master is sure that she is waiting for the master, and it is impossible for us not to give ice, so we have the confidence to shout and drink to us, how can it be possible to ask them to make up the money for the straw bags!"
"The ice cellar belongs to the kitchen library, the kitchen library belongs to a branch of the warehouse, the warehouse is the assets of the public school, and the assets of the public are managed by the prince and the wife of the prince. Is there such a good thing in the world? Bai Ko raised his eyebrows and said slowly.
The third woman and her daughter-in-law clapped their hands and laughed, and even said that there would be a way to reason next time.
"If you return the straw bag, forget it, but check it carefully, it's brand new, and you will have to pay for any damage. I think the Seventh Young Master and Aunt Fu must have known nothing about this, maybe it was taken by their servants, and the new bag was only filled with ice, which was clean, and when it was dried, it could be used to hold other things. ”
"Sister Coo, don't worry, we must chase back this straw bag, otherwise we will be short of numbers in our hands, and it will be difficult to turn around."
"Well, give them three days, yesterday counts as one day, today and tomorrow are still based on reasoning, and tomorrow afternoon, my girl from Wenling Academy will come to get ice, and you will tell her the result."
"Understood, spend two more days with them." Shui Sanpo and the others nodded in response.
Bai Ko told them the new rules of the ice cellar a few more times, so that they were all familiar with it, and then went to the east kitchen.
When I arrived at the East Kitchen, as Bai Qiao guessed, the eldest lady came over yesterday afternoon, and the menu was not changed, so that the male chefs would go to the West Kitchen to practice on the spot in the next few days.
So the scene that Bai Ko saw was that everyone was seriously discussing business, and the scene of gossiping and gossiping that she was used to was gone, and it felt so unfamiliar.
Now that he had the exact news, Bai Ko naturally agreed to write another plan for Huang Dahai and Cui Lin, so that they could control the whole scene at that time.
The East Kitchen can be said to have restored peace and order at this point, everyone has something to do, so they don't have the energy to mess around, as for whether the male chefs can succeed in the drill, it is none of Bai Ko's business, as the temporary deputy of the acting manager, she can do everything in place.
For Bai Ko, her energy now has to be focused on the ice cellar, and the maidservants who wait for the masters in each room and courtyard are the focus of her work.
The ice pack used by the Seventh Young Master, the ice ran out, the straw bag was gone, Bai Ko believed that it was not about Aunt Fu and the Seventh Young Master, they were the masters who were being waited for, where to pay attention to the details, and it was guaranteed that the people who were waiting for the Seventh Young Master were going to do something, because Aunt Fu gave birth to two daughters, one son and three children, and the straw bags of the three of them were all returned, and they were not broken.
It is a habit to take advantage of the public middle school, and the ice cellar is so greedy for public assets, and there will be no such good thing in the future.
After lunchtime, Bai Ko went to the ice cellar to get the frozen lactose on the way back to Wenling Courtyard for lunch break, and listened to the third wife and daughter-in-law of Shui said that before lunch, the girl of the seventh young master came to get two bags of ice, and I don't know how it could be used so quickly.
This is indeed very strange, the three bags of ice that Wenling Yuan receives every afternoon, the third young master can use it until he falls asleep at night, and he can sleep until dawn with the residual coolness in the room, the seventh young master only took two bags in the morning, and took two bags before lunch, which is too fast.
"I guess when that girl came to get the ice, she must have been empty-handed?"
"Just pick up an empty basket, say a few more words to her, and immediately look like we're being verbose." The third woman said while saying that the daughters-in-law on the side www.biquge.info a lot of fun.
"Did you tell her that straw bags are public high school assets?"
"I said that, and told her to either return the bag or pay back the money, but as a result, people said that this bag was not out of our pockets, so why do you care so much."
"Okay, it can be concluded that the straw bags are really taken to do something else, and a lot of bags are needed, so I can't tell you that this time you are here in the name of the Seventh Young Master. The Seventh Young Master is fat, fat people are afraid of heat, and the Seventh Young Master is the third master's favorite son, so he will not be questioned too much. ”
"What a spring and autumn dream! Our sister Kou is the newly appointed acting deacon, and they all say that the new officials have three fires, and Sister Kou will give them some color to see! ”
"It's not my turn, I have Uncle Yan above me, and Uncle Yan is above the eldest lord and eldest lady, who are greedy for a few pennies in the straw bag, and in the end will only pay a greater price."
The third woman and her daughter-in-law immediately showed a look of understanding, and God knows if they really understood Bai Ko's hint.
Bai Ko put his words in place, went into the ice cellar and took the lactose and left, and walked back to Wenling Courtyard quickly.
Homemade lactose is a bit of a hassle in the summer, the heat makes the sugar always soften, and it has to be kept in the ice cellar to maintain its shape and firmness.
Returning to Wenling Courtyard under the scorching sun at noon, the sugar in his hand was a little soft, Bai Ko hurriedly walked into the small kitchen, washed his hands and dressed neatly, carried the oil paper at the bottom, took out the complete large sugar cube and put it on a clean bamboo cutting board, used a knife to cut melons and fruits into small pieces, and then wrapped them piece by piece with new oil paper, and then quickly put it back in the ice cellar to continue to freeze.
In the afternoon, before the young masters arrived home one after another, the girl went to the ice cellar to get ice, and by the way, she took a few pieces of sugar and put them in the ice pack to bring them back, and put them in the ice tray in the upper hall with the ice cubes, and used the temperature of the ice tray to maintain the shape and hardness of the sugar cubes.
After the third young master went home, Meilun waited for the young master to wipe his sweat and change clothes and come out of the room, Gu Yun went straight to the study, took out an envelope from the bookbag and handed it to Meilun.
"The background check of the Zhao family's nephew has been decided."
The two sisters blushed suddenly, and Meilun pinched the envelope and suddenly threw it to her sister as if it was hot, which made her smile beautifully, and hurriedly went out and put it in her sister's room.
