Chapter 288: Showing a hand in front of the heads of the family
The eunuch of King Yan was a middle-aged man who was a little older than the prince of King Yan, and he looked shrewd and capable, and with a glance of his gaze, he stared at the four girls sitting at a carved and decorated plate at the long table, and then observed their clothes exposed outside the skirts, and immediately found Bai Ko, and walked over.
"This little girl must be the best cook in the Yeguo Mansion, the Bai Ko steward next to Gu Shizi?"
Bai Ko hurriedly put down the things in his hand, wiped his hands on the rag, took off the mask on his face, and smiled kindly.
"The maid is Bai Ko, I don't know what my father-in-law calls her?"
"The surname is Huang."
"It turned out to be Huang Gonggong, and the servant was polite."
"The white steward is too polite, he has good cooking skills at a young age, so that our little master will never forget it every day, it is rare, it is really rare."
"Xie Jiye praised, Huang Gonggong praised falsely."
"Today, everyone is tired from the journey, especially the family members, which affects some appetite to some extent, and they rely on the white steward to show their skills at noon."
"It's the honor of the servant to take charge of the prince, if Gonggong Huang doesn't mind, can you stay in the kitchen to remind one or two?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, there is hard work."
"Grandpa Huang has also worked hard along the way, why don't you wait for the prince first, and then come out and eat a bowl of hot noodle soup? We also have a variety of refreshing side dishes, can you taste your face? ”
Huang Gonggong nodded again and again, accepted the invitation, and then inspected the kitchen, praised the clean and tidy environment, and the steaming noodle soup and fish ball soup were served.
There was a lot of laughter in the cafeteria, and after everyone had finished their snacks, they simply chatted together and waited for another lunch, so that the people in their camp would have enough time to set up their tents and tell them to have a good meal first, because everyone was tired along the way.
Taking advantage of the fact that the masters were chatting and resting, Huang Gonggong finally had to spare something to eat, Bai Ko according to his taste, brought a basket of various small vegetable jars from the warehouse, and put a little bit of each for him to taste, and then left a few things he liked, even a jar for him, in addition to two packs of instant noodles, a few packs of cooked food, and a box of paper soap.
"The next person eats from time to time, and there are stomach problems for a long time, this instant noodles and side dishes are also asked to be brought back by Huang Gonggong, a piece of bread is about two taels, and a package has five pieces of bread, if you don't have time to cook and eat, the time to make tea with boiling water is the same, and even the time to eat and clean up a stick of incense. These dried meat sausages are cooked, you can cook noodles, or roast or fry as a snack, it is also good to make snacks when you have nothing to do, and when you go out, you should be most careful to prevent diseases from entering the mouth, this paper soap please keep it for Huang Gonggong to use slowly. ”
Huang Gonggong smiled with joy and thanked him again and again.
Taking care of this Huang Gonggong, Bai Ko began to dispatch people to prepare the cooking, Huang Gonggong sat in the corner of the long kitchen table, only observed, did not speak, Bai Ko asked him if the Yan Wang family had any dietary taboos or tastes that he paid special attention to, he only said a few words, other than that, he just sat quietly and would not disturb for no reason.
For each dish out of the pot, Bai Ko left a copy for Huang Gonggong, and the rest was sent to the canteen, and in addition to these lords of the house, the sons scattered in various small camps also came to accompany them.
The men who were fortunate enough to have eaten a banquet in Ye Guogong before, this is the first time to eat Bai Ko's cooking skills, and the tongue that has been used to eating food all his life can distinguish the difference in taste very lightly, and he coaxed one by one, strongly encouraging Ye Guogong and his wife to ask Bai Ko to participate in the cooking competition and earn a reward for the New Year.
In this lively atmosphere, lunch ended smoothly, these noble old men and ladies also specially called Bai Ko in to recognize their faces, seeing that it was such a young little girl who praised each other, King Yan rewarded on the spot, his old man opened his mouth, others were naturally embarrassed not to give a copy, and they also gave rewards, and all kinds of small purses dedicated to rewarding were piled up on the empty table beside Bai Ko.
Bai Ko smiled and saluted back and forth in circles.
After eating and drinking, and rewarding, these nobles returned to the camp contentedly.
Bai Ko retreated to the kitchen with her purse in her overskirt, and poured it on the table together, and checked them one by one, leaving only two purses for herself, and the rest was divided into two piles, one for the ten cooks and one for the handymen.
Everyone has a share, and everyone is happy, especially the handymen, who are very grateful to Bai Ko, and then ask them to do whatever they do.
After the masters finished eating, it was time for the family to eat, so the kitchen had to continue to be busy, everyone had just won the reward, and they were happy, and the work on their hands was a lot more meticulous.
Bai Ko finished eating first, wiped his mouth, and went back to the tent to tidy up first, took off his cooking clothes, washed his hands and cleaned his face, and went to Gu Yun's tent with his own reward.
Gu Yun had already sent his parents and younger brother back to their family camp at this time, and not long after returning to his tent, he saw Bai Ko coming in with two purses in his hand and smiling, shouting "Shizi" to say hello, and went straight to the luggage behind the bed, opened the box to find out the baggage of yesterday's jewelry, and put the reward silver into it.
Listening to the sound of the collision of wealth inside, Bai Ko's eyes became a slit with a smile.
Gu Yun justifiably sent the little guy next to him to the cafeteria to eat, and he walked behind Bai Ko, hugged her firmly, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Bai Ko waited for a while, and saw that he was indeed just eating tender tofu as usual, so he let him go, just bowed his head and packed the burden and stuffed it into the box.
"Cook a meal and receive so much silver."
Gu Yun didn't have anything to say, he saw how many purses Bai Ko had received at that time, but he only brought two at this time, it can be seen that the rest were distributed to his subordinates, not eating alone is the advantage of the leader, and he also knew that Bai Ko had a good reputation in the mansion It was not unreasonable.
"Tomorrow is the first day of winter hunting, as long as you complete the task, you will be rewarded, don't mess around in the mountains and forests and forget to catch the prey of the mission."
"Don't forget to make me dry food, tomorrow I'm going to spend the whole day in the woods."
"Just take a nap and do it, you won't miss anything."
"Take a nap......" Gu Yun's tone changed again.
"Aren't you tired? I'm going to wake up very early tomorrow, so I have to recharge my batteries. ”
"Hmm......" Gu Yun closed his eyes directly, "I'll sleep like this." ”
Bai Qiao laughed and laughed, thinking that this young master was playing a scoundrel.
"How do you sleep like this?"
"I'd love to."
"Well, how about the servant help you to lie on the bed for a while, and watch you sleep?"
"Just watching me sleep? How boring? ”
"Otherwise, you will stay by yourself, and the servant will go back to sleep, and make you dry food in the afternoon."
"You know how to threaten me."
"It's clearly a bargain."
"Fake bargaining, you know which one I'm going to choose."
"Do you want to change your mind?"
"Hmph, no matter which one I choose, I'll suffer."
"You can't just say you're at a loss just because you didn't take advantage."
"I didn't take advantage, of course, I suffered." Gu Yun was straightforward.
"So do you sleep or not?"
Gu Yun didn't say anything more, he just stood up again, and then pushed Bai Ko to the side of the bed, and he opened his arms to signal her to undress and undress him.
