After the meal, Gu Yun took the list and went to Jichengtang to find his parents, the money for building the oven came from the private account of the long house, so naturally the follow-up expenses had to continue to come from here, and not take advantage of the public in the slightest.

The eldest lady was also dizzy when she looked at the detailed list, and reacted the same as her son, "Is it necessary?" ”

Bai Ko said that these are just the basic ingredients for cooking, and she hasn't written about them yet."

The eldest lady handed the list to Mother Pang, who was standing beside her, "When your oven can be used, I must try her craftsmanship." ”

Gu Yun thanked his mother with a smile and jumped to Rong'en Hall.

Late that night, when everything was silent, in the courtyard of the third-class cook in the east kitchen, Mengmei quietly opened the door and came out, cautiously eavesdropping on the movement inside the door of each room, and saw that everyone was indeed asleep, so she tiptoed to pull down the latch of the courtyard door and went to Wengu Mountain.

Hearing the sound of the latch falling to the ground, Lu Doudou, who was lying on the bed and struggling with sleepiness, struggled to sit up, slapped his cheeks with both hands to make himself more awake, and then put on his shoes and went to the ground, lit the candlestick on the table, held it in his hand, and pretended to open the door at night.

Lu Doudou went to the courtyard gate first, and when she saw that the door panel was slightly open, she went out sideways and walked straight to the fork outside, but there was no movement.

Then she turned around and went back, and directly pushed open Mengmei's door, and when the light shone, there was no one in the room, and the thin quilt was still piled up on the bed in a mess.

The corners of Lu Doudou's mouth hooked up a hint of schadenfreude, quietly exited the room and closed the door, leaving a crack in the door, and turned to knock on Hongsu's door.

Hongsu slept well, but was woken up by a knock on the door, and answered vaguely, "Who?" ”

"Hongsu, isn't you the last one to sleep tonight?"

"No, I've been asleep a long time ago."

"Oh, that's fine, you can go back to sleep."

Lu Doudou left immediately, and then knocked on Wanqiu's door and woke her up.

Hongsu heard that it was Lu Doudou's voice, turned over and was about to sleep, but a string in his brain suddenly tensed, and he felt that something was not right, so he sat up with a strong spirit, lit the candlestick, and went out in his clothes.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Don't sleep in the middle of the night? ”

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

Lu Doudou had already spoken to Wanqiu, and she was standing in front of Mengmei's door again and knocking on the door.

"What the hell is going on?" Hongsu asked relentlessly.

"I just woke up at night, and I found the courtyard door open, and I wondered if the last one to sleep didn't have a latched courtyard door."

"Isn't it? That's it? ”

Hongsu couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking that Lu Doudou was making a big fuss, and was about to turn around and enter the room, but saw Lu Doudou standing outside Mengmei's door with a strange face.

"Huh? Mengmei sleeps without closing the door? ”

Lu Doudou pretended to raise the candlestick, gently pushed the door panel with one hand, looked into the room, and suddenly his voice became louder.

"Where's Mengmei?!"

Hongsu was startled, pulled her feet and came over to check, she also walked into the room and lifted the thin quilt on the bed, of course there was no one on the bed.

Lu Doudou followed up the room, and when he saw the empty bed, the two girls looked at each other, and Hongsu naturally thought of the open courtyard door, and his face turned white.

"Let's go and bolt the courtyard door!"

The two of them hurriedly ran to the courtyard gate, Lu Doudou held the candlestick in both hands, and watched Hongsu close the door and re-latch it.

"Regardless of Mengmei? What if she comes back? ”

"What the hell is she doing? She has the face to go out, and we still care if she has the face to come back? What about our faces? Who cares about us? Hong Su scolded angrily.

"Whose face?"

Wanqiu rubbed her eyes with a lamp and suddenly walked over.

"What are you two muttering when you two don't sleep?"

"It's nothing, you go back to sleep, we'll get up all night."

"Is it a night or a round?"

Behind Wanqiu, Sister-in-law Qian came out with a lamp and an ambiguous smile on her face.

"Why is there no one in Mengmei's house? Where did she go in the middle of the night? ”

"What? Mengmei didn't sleep in the house? Wanqiu was taken aback, and Hongsu and Lu Doudou were embarrassed.

"This is interesting, I have long heard that Mengmei's little Nizi Sichun seems to have found a lover."

Sister-in-law Qian chuckled, pulled her feet and went to Xiulan, and banged on the door vigorously.

"Sister Xiulan, wake up, our yard is lively!"

After a while, the lights came on in Xiulan's house, and then the door opened, and Xiulan yawned and walked out in her clothes.

"What's the excitement?"

"Mengmei will meet the lover."

"Oh. Yes!? Xiulan was startled and sobered up.

"She's not in the room, the courtyard door is open, I don't know where she went." Sister-in-law Qian gloated and laughed.

Xiulan was also happy, ran into the Mengmei house, and walked out laughing.

"Oh, this is ridiculous, she thinks she is the number one in the third-class kitchen, look at what kind of face she has to tell us to work tomorrow."

"Doudou, Wanqiu, Hongsu, originally you newcomers came out of Bai Ko this person to give you a long face, our old chef is jealous, but recognize her strength, after all, her poached tofu was set on the menu on the spot after the competition, this is her ability. Looking at her face, although we usually speak prickly to you and take advantage of your mouth, we don't insult you, right? It's a pity, this face has made Mengmei, a shameless person, lose tonight. ”

Sister-in-law Qian walked over with a lamp and looked at the three little girls and said a few words of truth.

"It's still faced, the innocence is almost gone! Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise if a man passed by and saw the courtyard gate open and touched in, who would we women cry out to!? Mengmei can go to meet the lover, and other men can touch in and spread wild! She's shameless, I still want it! Xiulan stomped her feet and scolded excitedly.

"Sister Xiulan, be quiet, don't wake up the yard next door."

Red Su took a few steps forward and pleaded in a low voice.

Sister-in-law Qian also pulled Xiulan and finally told her to shut up.

"What Hongsu said is that Mengmei is shameless, we still have to have face, it is not appropriate to shout loudly to let others know, otherwise the reputation of our people will be blackened, I have men and children, I have to think about them."

"Qian family, do you mean to swallow this breath? Pretend not to know? Xiulan said through gritted teeth.

"Otherwise, we keep it a secret from the outside, but internally,

"Two sisters, please." Red Su bowed repeatedly.

Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian looked at each other for a while, and after gloating, now that they have calmed down, they really have to consider their own interests.
