Chapter 57 If you have money, you have to buy it
White Kom yawned lazily and continued.
"Yesterday's rumor, I suspect it is still related to Wen Gushan, only he has the opportunity to run to the inner house often, he knows the psychology of the masters best, other cooks and cooks have been in the small world of the kitchen for too long, their eyelids are as shallow as puddles, and they are in the kitchen kitchen kitchen every day from morning to night, they don't have the brain to come up with such a rumor that directly hits the weakness of the eldest lady."
"Didn't you be called back at noon yesterday, everyone was still talking about this during the lunch break, we accused them of sinister intentions according to what you taught, and poured dirty water on the innocent girl, so they were scolded so much that they shut up, from beginning to end, only Zeng Zhu was a peacemaker, and Wen Gushan and the other stewards did not come out to say a word."
"The kitchen manager sits idly by and lets his subordinates spread rumors among themselves, he is derelict in his duties first, don't blame me for embarrassing him, and the account of this rumor will be counted on his head, and he will definitely not be wronged."
"Well, it's all up to you." Lu Doudou was strong and listened to Bai Ko talk so much, and he couldn't hold it anymore at this point.
Bai Ko slapped the fan a few times, and soon fell asleep.
After the lunch break, Bai Ko went back to Wenling Courtyard directly, Lu Doudou took the money and invited Wanqiu and Hongsu to go to the back door to find a merchant to buy snacks to eat, and the three girls left with a smile.
When Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian saw this scene, they naturally mocked Mengmei for not having money to win people's hearts, while Bai Ko kept money in her hands.
Mengmei was stung by their words, and she couldn't reply, so she had to pretend not to hear, and hurriedly wiped her face and went to the kitchen.
Lu Doudou and the three of them walked in the passage leading to the back door, and repeated to them what Bai Ko said at noon, so that they must play the role of wall grass well.
Hongsu and Wanqiu readily agreed, without hesitation or entanglement at all.
When Bai Ko returned to Wenling Courtyard, the new oven was nearing completion, the chimneys on the roof were all laid, and the craftsmen were re-tiling around the chimneys, saying that they would be finished before dark, and that they would be ready to use the slurry when it dried.
The small kitchen is closed all day, and the girls have been sprinkling water and dust in the yard, so the small kitchen is still clean, and there is no dust brought by the construction, but Bai Ko's chef has a cleanliness habit and doesn't want to knead the dough to make snacks, so she sent the little girl to the ice cellar to get fruit and milk, she opened the cabinet and took out a small bag of sago, lit a fire and sat in the pot, made fruit sago dew for the third young master, and cut the excess fruit into a fruit bowl to send to the craftsmen to make condolences.
When Gu Yun came back from school, he saw that the roof was half-paved, the craftsmen were sitting in the shade of the courtyard and eating fruits, and the girls were huddled outside the kitchen drinking sour plum soup.
When he finished changing clothes and came out to sit in the main hall, there was already an ice bowl on the table, and there was a bowl of colorful fruit sago in the bowl, Gu Yun picked up the spoon and stirred it, smelling the sweet taste, hesitated for a while but tasted it, and then took one bite after another, compared to sweets, the hot weather was even more unbearable.
After eating a big bowl of satisfaction, Gu Yun didn't forget to tell Meiqi to tell Bai Ko that this sago dew can be available every day, and the sixth young master must also love to eat, and then Gu Yun went back to the room to change his clothes and go to the courtyard to practice swords.
Meilun searched around, only to find her in Bai Ko's room, and saw her sitting under the window pinching a charcoal bar and writing quickly, the handwriting was a little sloppy, because she couldn't understand what she was writing, Meilun had to wait patiently for her to stop writing.
While the third young master was eating, Bai Ko had time to sit down and write tomorrow's menu, and quickly let the third young master approve it and send it to Yan Bo's hands, and the warehouse would send the processed clean dishes directly tomorrow morning, saving her from running errands by herself, the west kitchen belongs to the front yard, and the distance between the two places is really far, she ran back and forth twice in the morning, and her legs were sore.
After writing the menu in one go, Bai Ko found that Mei Lun had been waiting for her for a while, and immediately apologized embarrassedly, and the two chatted for a while, Mei Lun went out with the new menu, and Bai Ko wrote down Simi Lu in her notes.
After Gu Yun finished practicing his sword, he wiped his face again, and when he came out of the room, Meilun handed over the menu, and the handwriting on the paper couldn't help but make Gu Yun laugh.
"You can still read the words she wrote in charcoal strips, and it was a ghost drawing in the morning."
"Then the maid told her that it would be better to write with charcoal strips in the future."
"No, I still have to tell her to practice calligraphy well, and don't be lazy."
"Yes."
Gu Yun casually browsed the menu, saw that there were several beef dishes, considered it for a while, went to the study to get a red pen to circle these dishes, and then asked Meilun to return them to Bai Ko.
"Sue sΓΉ Bai Ko, since she is now the head of my small kitchen, if there is anything in the kitchen in the future, I will directly report to me, and I don't have to talk to you every time."
"Yes, young master."
Meilun turned around and went out to look for Bai Ko, she waited for a reply under the West Wing Corridor, and when she heard the words conveyed by Meilun, she finally had a feeling of "really promoted", and her face was full of joy.
Bai Ko returned to the room to write the list of ingredients, asked Meilun for the right cards, and sent the little girl to send the list to Yan Bo, at this time the craftsman had finished laying the roof, cleaned up the aftermath on the ground, and made some dust, and Aunt Su was busy splashing water around with a water scoop.
Seeing such a scene, Bai Ko instructed the little girls to keep watch by the side, and when the craftsmen were gone, clean the small kitchen well before washing and cooking, and then she went back to the house to write the list.
Gu Yun was warming his book in the study, and when he raised his head from the book, he saw Meimei coming in with a candlestick, and the dim study immediately brightened, but he still didn't see dinner.
"Young master, Bai Ko made some pre-dinner snacks, do you want to use a little pad first? Bai Ko loves cleanliness, and after the craftsmen left, she led the girls to clean the kitchen well, so tonight's dinner time should be slightly delayed. β
"Okay, just take a break."
Gu Yun stretched his waist and stood up and went to eat in the main hall.
It wasn't until one o'clock that today's dinner was finally served on the table, and Bai Ko then walked in with a wad of paper and asked the third young master to buy something new.
"Third Young Master, the maid has seen it in the warehouse today, the oven tools left in the past are moldy, rusty and broken, and the maid has been built and destroyed, so new things are needed now."
Gu Yun looked at it casually, mainly some shovels, clips, knives, new cutting boards, various baking trays of different shades and large and small pans, Bai Ko wrote in too much detail, the pan must have a metal handle, the cutting board must be bamboo, and it is also listed that there are three sizes, just a few pages in total.
"It has to be so many?"
"Third young master, this is just the basic thing for cooking, the maid hasn't written down the flower mold and baking bowl for the oven, that's a necessary tool for making snacks."
What else could Gu Yun say, he could only nod, "Buy, buy, buy." β
