Chapter 160: Refreshing and Unpleasant
They took Gu Xiaoyi and Wang Hongshao into the house with the young master, serving him to rest, Bai Ko watched outside the bedroom for a while, and then she also withdrew, with their old girl teaching it hand in hand, no need for her to stare at the side.
Gu Yun's nap has never been long, this is a habit he has developed since he was a child, and he has to continue to go to class after taking a nap after lunch.
Gu Xiaoyi and Wang Hongshao served Shizi with trembling hands to get up and change his clothes and wash his hands, Gu Yun looked at them in embarrassment and deliberately teased them, touching their faces or hands, but once they lost their minds and were distracted, he would snort coldly again.
Over and over again, the two of them were tossed enough, and the onlookers couldn't help but feel sympathy.
After washing up, she sat outside and drank tea, and Xiaojing took a note and a purse and came in with a curtain.
"Young master, the second young master sent someone to ask for the recipe for the chicken cake of the white steward."
Gu Yun took the two things, read the contents of the note, weighed the weight of the purse, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The second brother knows the goods. What about the white cardamom? ”
"Xiaoqian has gone to the kitchen to look for her."
After a while, a strange maidservant voice came from under the porch outside, saluting Bai Ko, and then the bamboo curtain was lifted, and Bai Ko, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes for cooking, came in to salute.
Gu Yun immediately frowned disapprovingly.
"Why are you dressed like this again?"
"It's easy to cook, and I don't feel bad when I splash oil."
"You have so many people under your hands, you have something to call them."
"I don't dare to borrow other people's hands to cook for the world, their feel has not been practiced, their hands are not measured, the amount is more and less The taste is different, if there is a standard measuring device, then the maid only manages the recipe, it will be much easier."
"To put it bluntly, you're just going around the corner and asking for something new."
"Didn't I see a blacksmith shop on the street this morning, the lock I bought is quite easy to use, and the master's craftsmanship should not be bad." Bai Ko's eyes were shining and staring at Gu Yun.
Gu Yun felt that he already knew the unique expression of Bai Ko's stomach when she made a small abacus, and when she looked at her like this, she knew that she wanted something new, but the more real idea was that she wanted to go out and handle it by herself.
"It's really ugly to see your riding posture this morning, give me a good practice, don't get scared when you go to the street, then how can I take you out." Gu Yun also knew that it was more appropriate to run errands for his own use, and the pen and ink he was used to were only included in his daily list after he bought it himself for trial at the beginning.
"Yes, Shizi." Bai Ko's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what the prince meant, and bowed with a smile.
After talking about it for so long, Gu Yun remembered to get down to business, raised his hand and threw the purse over.
"Second brother rewarded you."
Bai Ko quickly reached out to catch it, and the heavy weight made her smile and squint.
"Second Young Master Thank you. Which recipe does the second young master want? Chicken cake? ”
"You know this?" Gu Yun pinched the note with his fingers.
"In the morning, Mengmei went to the east kitchen, saying that if she couldn't make it, the third lady would sell her to the mine, and after thinking about it, this chicken cake would be worthy of her to kowtow to me."
The corners of Gu Yun's mouth curled, and he immediately understood Bai Ko's little abacus in this, but he wouldn't say it, the cook's private recipe recipe is equivalent to a trade secret, and it is generous to be willing to share it for free, but it does not mean that whoever comes will give it away for nothing, if you want her recipe to have no price, even if it is a second cousin, you have to have some blood.
"It's called cheap but not good, and she's a chef who hears that the monthly routine is consistent?"
"If the third lady had given a high price, she would have been deceived at this time, and she would have been sold to the mine long ago, and she would have to be glad that she was a bargain. However, she moved quite quickly, and she knelt on the ground in the morning and begged, and then she said that the second young master came forward. ”
"Although her cooking skills are not as good as yours, she definitely has a little ability." Gu Yun rolled his eyes and said hintfully.
"The second young master's people are still waiting outside, and the maid will go back to the house to write the recipe first, so as not to wait for a long time."
Bai Ko bowed and said goodbye, went outside to say hello to the other party, and the man continued to wait quietly under the porch, and Bai Ko went to the back of the main hall.
After receiving the money from the second young master, the recipe for this chicken cake is naturally written seriously, it is simply a novice tutorial, even if it is a person who doesn't understand baking, it will not be too bad to follow the recipe step by step, the most likely mistake is on the beating of eggs, there is no electric whisk, it is very tiring and tiring to play purely by hand.
After a stick of incense, Bai Ko finally came out with a three-page prescription, and the girl hurriedly thanked her and went back to her life.
Bai Ko sneered and watched the people leave, waiting for a few days to continue watching Mengmei's jokes, she didn't know much about words, and if she wanted to make the perfect chicken cake, she had to find someone to read the recipe to her.
I sincerely wish that Mengmei has been favored by the second young master, otherwise there will be no chance to make extra money in the future.
Just thinking like this, Bai Ko suddenly heard footsteps in the bedroom behind her, and she hurriedly turned around to look at it with a clean expression.
The prince walked out dressed in outgoing clothes.
"Shizi is going out?"
"Well, my eldest brother asked me to go for a walk on the street."
"Will you come back for dinner in the evening?"
"Not necessarily."
"If you don't come back at dinner time, the maid will send the meal to Rong En Hall."
"Okay, whatever you want."
"The son of the world walks slowly."
"You change my clothes for me."
Gu Yun was about to walk down the steps, and turned his head to throw down this sentence again.
Bai Ko saluted meekly, and saw Shizi walk through half of the courtyard before she turned her head back to the house to change her clothes, and then went to the kitchen to take a look, and threw Gu Xiaoyi and Wang Hongshao to Meiqimei for training.
Gu Yun met with his lobby brother Gu Xu at the gate, and the two brothers chatted while walking leisurely in the direction of Cross Street.
The second aunt Tong was born in a scholarly family, and the uncles and brothers in the clan have always been ranked noble in the court, and the three children she gave birth to have a solitary and arrogant temperament, this cold appointment is really rare to go shopping aimlessly, Gu Yun patiently waited for the eldest brother to say something to him.
Gu Xu is indeed looking for Gu Yun for her eldest sister Gu Wan, she was forced very tightly by her cousin Tong Mingli, and she has been asking her to learn cooking skills, and she urgently needs Bai Ko's assistance, but Bai Ko's current status is no longer possible for the second lady to be dispatched at will, so she must get Gu Yun's consent, but she feels that it is difficult to speak, and the two of them are still chatting on the street, but they can't get to the point.
Gu Yun patiently socialized with his eldest brother while shopping in the silver building purposefully.
"What does the third brother do when he visits the silver building? Want to give someone a gift? ”
"Buy some rewarding things, I made up more than a dozen newcomers today, and it's always not decent to have no rewards."
"The newcomer who has just entered the door needs to prepare things so quickly?"
"It's also a preparation to buy it and put it away, it's better than having nothing at hand when you want to tip."
Gu Yun thought of Bai Ko's cleanliness, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap sixteen pairs of sterling silver cloves with non-repeating patterns, and then continued to look at others, thinking that after the newcomer's rank order was determined, the first and second class would be rewarded with other things, and the four girls who got married should also prepare gifts, and Bai Ko's reward would be even less.
There are many officials and nobles in Tianshuifang, and there are several silver buildings on the street, and the grade is not low, Gu Yun is quite patient and walked through them all, bought a lot of bits and pieces, and asked the store to send them to the Yeguo Mansion.
Gu Xumo didn't get to the point yet.
Gu Yun had spent enough money and wanted to go home.
