Chapter 55 is to make you jealous
Still outside the wall of Wenling Courtyard, Bai Ko heard the crowd in the courtyard, thought something was wrong and hurriedly ran in to take a look, only to see a few masons preparing slurry in the courtyard, with bricks piled up on the ground, and a male servant taking care of it on the side.
"White, are you back?" When Aunt Su saw Bai Ko, she hurriedly took the basket in her hand and let the little girl put it in the kitchen.
"What is this for?"
"We also learned that the young master went to ask his wife last night to build an oven."
"Where else is there a place to build an oven? Build a shed now? ”
"It was built in the firewood room, and the firewood was moved to the storage room on the edge, anyway, there was usually some rice, flour, grain and oil, and half of the place was divided into enough firewood."
"Can it be built in a day?"
"The craftsman said that it could be built, but the oven was not big, and the requirement was to be able to roast the whole leg of lamb."
"Hey, this is good, everyone will have a good mouth in the future."
"The sixth young master will come back tomorrow, will it be useful in time?"
"That won't be in time, it will take a few more days, at least until the batter is completely dry, and this brand new oven has a temper, I have to test it first."
"Hehehehe, I understand, I understand, it's like a new stove, you have to try the fire first."
Bai Ko smiled and watched the craftsmen busy for a while, patted Aunt Su's shoulder, said a word to her, and went to the west kitchen again.
When Yan Bo saw Bai Ko go and return so quickly, his expression immediately became a little nervous.
"Forgot something?"
"No, no, Uncle Yan, I just went back and found out that Wenling Courtyard was building an oven, so I'll ask if there are any matching tools in the warehouse."
Yan Bo lowered his head and thought about it, and looked at Bai Ko with some uncertainty.
"There are some old objects in the warehouse, and these descendants can't recognize what they are for, why don't you let someone take you to see them? If you can use it, you will move it away, and if you can't use it, you will just make a book and destroy it. ”
"Okay, okay, there is Lao Yanbo."
Yan Bo quickly called a young man to take Bai Ko to the warehouse where the items were stored, because there was a bit of chaos in the warehouse because of the recent inventory and bookkeeping, but Bai Ko was lucky to find the corner where the oven tools were stacked, and then told the young man around him with a regretful face that they should all be destroyed.
All kinds of shovels and clips of wooden length can only be used as firewood, and metal objects such as cast iron baking trays are rusty and messy, even if they can be cleaned, they dare not use them for cooking for others to eat, and would rather buy new ones, so as to have peace of mind.
Yan Bo got Bai Ko's letter, and he also knew it in his heart, so he asked people to go in again and make a record.
Bai Ko was covered in ash because he was touching around in the dirty old objects, and returned to Wenling Courtyard to freshen up again, and it was almost time to go to work in the east kitchen.
Everyone in the east kitchen also knew that there was news of the new steward Yan Bo in the kitchen warehouse at this time, but no one knew the origin of Yan Bo, and was discussing how the new steward would manage the warehouse, when they saw Bai Ko walk into the kitchen compound.
So a group of people surrounded Bai Ko and asked her if she knew who Yan Bo was.
Bai Ko truthfully retold Uncle Yan's original words to everyone, and then squeezed out of the crowd to find the housekeeper Zeng Zhu.
Yesterday, I learned that Zeng Zhu was the second lady's dowry, and Bai Ko had the idea of having a good relationship with her.
"Steward, tell you something."
"Okay, you say."
Zeng Zhu is in her early forties, medium height, disc face, soft-spoken, the softest one among the four stewards, and her status is also ranked last.
"Now that the kitchen warehouse has a new steward, Uncle Yan, the third young master asked me to contact Uncle Yan directly every day, and no longer take ingredients from the east kitchen."
"Is that all? Okay, I'll make a note of it, and I'll talk to Mr. Wen in a moment. ”
"Youlao was in charge."
Bai Ko bowed, turned his head to find Lu Doudou, stayed with her, and waited for a while for the stewards to distribute the work.
The first active contact with Zeng Zhu is just like this, you don't have to be too anxious to show her anything, first cultivate the relationship between the two, this is the same as chasing girls.
Lu Doudou dragged Bai Ko to the side and whispered, asking her what she had just said to Zeng Zhu.
Bai Qiao also told her the truth, there is no need to keep this matter secret, as soon as Zeng Zhu tells Wen Gushan, the whole kitchen will know about it.
Yesterday someone spread malicious rumors to slander themselves, and today let everyone know about their newfound power.
"Baikou, there you are! Well done! Lu Doudou slapped Bai Kom vigorously, "In this way, you are equivalent to the kitchen manager of Wenling Courtyard." ”
"Don't exaggerate, beware of making people jealous."
Lu Doudou immediately made a silent gesture in amusement, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and finally couldn't help but giggle.
The others looked curious, not knowing what they were happy about, and guessing if there was anything good.
At this time, Zeng Zhu had already found Wen Gushan and told him about the new arrangement of the small kitchen in Wenling Courtyard, Wen Gushan faintly said that he knew, and at the moment when Zeng Zhu turned around and walked away, his eyes swept to Bai Ko who was standing in the distance.
The other three stewards greeted Zeng Zhu to inquire, and after a few words, Bai Ko's matter spread to the whole kitchen.
It's only been a few days since I went to Wenling Academy, and I've been in charge and even in charge, arranging and taking care of the third young master's daily diet, which is too powerful.
Wanqiu and Hongsu, like Lu Doudou, are sincerely happy for Bai Ko, but they are not as obvious as Lu Doudou, they just praise her for her big face for the newcomer, and they drag the boys in out of the words, saving them from being sour on the side and calling the old chefs to see jokes.
Mengmei followed the crowd over and said hello to Bai Ko, and when she turned around, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger.
These **** days have been difficult, she listened to the words of Manager Wen and wanted to become the boss of the third-class kitchen, but she didn't expect that everyone didn't give much face, and the newcomer would listen to her arrangement, the six old chefs didn't even look at her at all, and they were also yin and yang weird when they spoke, and from time to time they would stab her with Bai Ko, saying how she was not as capable as Bai Ko, and Bai Ko was younger than her and climbed taller than her.
"Okay, okay, what's the point of huddled in a heap, it's endless, there's no need to work? Masters, don't eat? ”
Lu Meihua stood up with a cold face and shouted at the crowd with a loud voice.
"Bai Ko, even if you are the steward of Wenling Academy, but in the East Kitchen, you are a third-class cook, remember your identity, don't get too carried away." Lu Meihua warned coldly, flicked her sleeves and left.
"Hey, Bai Ko, don't pay attention to her, she's just playing prestige in the East Kitchen."
Lu Doudou muttered in Bai Ko's ear, took her hand and stood in the team of third-class cooks, waiting for the stewards to assign their own work.
