"Who's hungry?"

Someone outside the kitchen answered, and then Meimei and Xiaoqian walked in with the tableware.

"I'm hungry." Bai Ko pushed the plate, "Come on, there's not much, pull it down after eating." ”

"It's kumquat, I just sat here and ate a lot." The little girls complained quickly, took the cutlery, and at the same time took a few cups to pour sour plum soup for everyone.

"Ah, I heard it before, Kumquat came to give the eldest lady's reward, and the young master also gave a reward, Bai Ko, it has been placed in your room." Milun said.

"Do you want to know what the young master is rewarding?" Mei Huan smiled, then took a bite of the meat-stuffed spring rolls, and immediately turned her attention to the food, "Well, it's delicious!" ”

"What's the reward?" Bai Ko was really curious.

"Madame's study, right? The young master rewarded the copy. Meilun tried her best to be strict, but she was also eating, and there was nothing to be strict about.

"I know my handwriting is ugly, thank you for the love of the eldest lady and the young master." Bai Ko drank the sour plum soup and smiled on his face.

"Also, the young master said that if you run out of pen, ink and paper in the future, you will come directly from his example, and you don't need to buy it yourself. This is the first time I have ever experienced it, the young master attaches great importance to you, do a good job, don't let him down. ”

"Bai Ko, you're amazing!" The little girls looked up at Bai Ko with starry eyes.

"Bai Ko, the young master is getting older, there will only be more and more women in the courtyard in the future, since you have the ability to write and calculate, you can do it well, even if the young grandmother enters the door in the future, your decency will be indispensable."

"Okay, as long as the third young master has a day for me, he will not be disappointed." Since the eldest lady and the third young master both value themselves, Bai Ko of course did not hesitate to express his loyalty.

In this kind of mansion, the subordinate who gets the attention of the master is equivalent to one step to the sky, and she is not stupid.

"Ah, by the way, the day after tomorrow, the sixth young master will come back, he will definitely come here to eat, make more delicious food, the sixth young master loves meat, he is not picky, he eats fat and lean meat, and he also eats sweets." Meihuan was eating silently, but suddenly remembered something important, and slapped the table and commanded.

"The sixth young master is not at home?" Bai Ko thought about it, and indeed he hadn't seen the second son of the eldest lady in the past few days.

"A group of boys from relatives' families, piling up to the mountains to learn to be a qualified hunter, I can't tell what they are doing, half a month, if nothing happens, the day after tomorrow will be home."

"Could it be that he spent half a month of masochistic training in the mountains with only basic supplies? What you eat every day depends on what prey you catch? ”

"It seems to be almost what you said, but it shouldn't be self-abuse, the sixth young master is very excited, it doesn't look like he's going to suffer."

"Yes, if it's dangerous, Madame won't let him go."

"How old is the sixth young master? Can he hunt prey to feed himself? ”

"It shouldn't be that they want to hunt by themselves to fill their stomachs, otherwise the Seventh Young Master will not follow, that little young master is only seven years old, and the Third Master loves him like his own eyes."

"Oh, that's a group of boys from relatives who go to the mountains to escape the summer for half a month, hunting, fishing, and enjoying the comfortable days of a leisurely farm."

"Hey, yes, yes, you're pretty close to that."

"After eating the farmhouse dishes in the mountains for half a month, I should miss the exquisite side dishes at home. Okay, I'll draw up a menu first and ask the third young master to take a look. ”

After talking about business, after eating, the rest time is over, clean up the kitchen and start making dinner, and there is still a portion of the shredded tofu left, which is to be tasted by the third young master.

At dinner, the bowl of soup really attracted Gu Yun's amazement, and Meiqi also told the young master about the rumors that Bai Ko said about the East Kitchen during the day, after dinner, Gu Yun went to his parents and grandmother to say goodnight as usual, and when he came back, he brought a message to Bai Ko, the new steward of the kitchen warehouse was decided, and asked her to take time to go to the West Kitchen tomorrow to get to know each other.

Bai Ko wrote down the name of the new steward, and after preparing the supper for the third young master, she finished freshening up and sat in the room and began to write the menu.

Since he has the authorization to contact the steward directly, it is good to make overall arrangements for the third young master's daily diet, and he no longer has to be restricted by what ingredients and what dishes he has in the east kitchen.

As the grandson of the Guogong Mansion and the future grandfather of the Guogongfu, he is happy, and everyone is happy.

Gu Yun read the book and saw that it was almost midnight, he came out for a walk in the yard after supper, waiting for the girls to prepare a hot bath for him, and when he looked up, he saw that the last room where Bai Ko slept in the West Chamber, the light was still on, and a figure with his head down and writing was printed on the bedroom window.

Bai Ko worked hard all night, writing so hard that her hands hurt and her neck hurt, and she wasted a lot of paper before she finally wrote a five-day menu, and the dog-like words could only be barely recognized, and she couldn't bear to look at it herself.

Practice calligraphy, you must practice calligraphy well starting tomorrow!

Bai Ko gritted his teeth and cleaned up a table, blew the lamp and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, while the third young master was taking a shower in the bathroom after practicing martial arts, Bai Ko asked Meiqimei to help put the stack of menus on the third young master's dining table, hoping that it would not disturb his appetite.

After Gu Yun finished bathing, he came out to have breakfast, and sure enough, he saw a few pieces of ghost-like paper at first sight, and looked at them in his hand for a long time, before finally picking out one and deciding on the dishes to eat today.

Meiqi waited for the young master to eat, and then sent him out, and then returned the menu to Bai Ko, telling her which one the young master had chosen.

Bai Ko hurried back to the room, copied the selected menu, made a complete list of the main and auxiliary ingredients and condiments, and then hurried to the west kitchen.

The kitchen warehouse is located on the west kitchen, because every morning, a truckload of fresh ingredients is transported over, which is unloaded in the west kitchen, and the warehouse then separates the ingredients needed by the east kitchen and sends them over.

Now the warehouse has been cleaned from top to bottom, the new steward is an old man with gray hair, known as Yan Bo, don't look old, but there is a lot of charm in his eyes, he is very polite when he sees Bai Ko, and he does not rely on the old to sell the old, and when he took the list in her hand, he did not dislike her ugly writing, and he browsed it very seriously, and then called a few juniors, and accurately instructed everyone to go to different shelves to get things.

"Uncle Yan is very capable, he has done similar errands before?"

"Aha, the old man is not talented, he has taken care of a few shops for the first prince, he has been a shopkeeper for a few years, and he has been at home for a long time.

Bai Ko gave two thumbs up with reverence.

"Uncle Yan, in the future, the maid will contact you directly, I will trouble you a little more in the past few days, and I will strive for the daily list of ingredients in a few days to prepare for you in advance."

"The little girl can do things, and it should be like this, but the small kitchen of Wenling Courtyard is new, so it doesn't matter if you take your time, if you are busy, the gains outweigh the losses."

"Thank you for your understanding."

As she spoke, Bai Ko had already filled a large basket of ingredients and placed them at her feet, and the handymen in the western kitchen had cleaned them up.
