"Poof, the masters of people with unreliable mouths don't dare to ask for it, who knows when the secret of the room will be told that the whole house will know."

Someone suddenly interjected from the handyman on the side, causing the handymen to laugh.

"The secrets in the room are all settled, but I am afraid that the masters will say a lot of words, and only a small part of them will be heard, and then add oil and vinegar to talk nonsense to others, and the things that have no shadow seem to have become real things that I have seen with my own eyes."

"The matter of people talking nonsense and making the master suffer a secret loss is never new in the mansion."

"The masters of the people who have many mouths and tongues are eager to send them away from afar."

The handymen have been in the kitchen for a longer time, although they have the lowest status in the slave class, but they are the people who really know a lot of secrets in the house, and they are singing at this time, but it really makes the cooks and cooks jealous, and they dare not show off their knowledge anymore, and the courtyard finally quiets down, and everyone eats silently.

Bai Ko looked up from his rice bowl and smiled in the direction of the handymen.

After lunch, Bai Ko and Lu Doudou went out of the corner door hand in hand to go back to the small courtyard for a lunch break, she walked first, and a girl on the back foot happened to walk in from the kitchen door, a handyman happened to be doing things there, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and then quickly pointed to the direction of the corner door and asked her to chase Bai Ko.

Bai Ko and Lu Doudou were walking with laughter, when they heard someone behind them shouting their names, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was the little girl from Wenling Courtyard.

"Bai Ko, where are you going if you don't go back to Wenling Courtyard after lunch?"

"Hey, let's take a lunch break with a friend and talk."

"I don't have time to give you a lunch break, so the young master came back with a message, saying that there are friends who come to play in the afternoon, and I want you to make a few good snacks to entertain guests, let's go."

"Oh."

Bai Ko waved to Lu Doudou helplessly, and walked along the sandwich road with the girl.

Everyone in the kitchen began to talk again, envious and jealous of the good luck of the special chef's errand, if he stayed for a long time, how many young masters and young ladies of the noble family would have to be seen.

Bai Ko and the little girl walked out of the east kitchen, walking in the middle of the inner house, the scorching sun was shining at noon, no one was walking in front and back, left and right, and the little girl pulled Bai Ko's sleeve.

"In the future, you will come back after eating, don't go back to your broken yard for lunch break, you won't have to make up stories to find you."

"Huh?! Isn't the third young master having friends to play? ”

"That's a lie to everyone in your kitchen, otherwise in front of so many people, tell them that you are running errands for the old lady and the eldest lady?"

"Could it be that the eldest lady is actually looking for me to have something?"

"The eldest lady sent kumquat to pass the word, the dishes you made in the morning passed the customs at her place, and I want you to make another lunch break and send Rong Entang to the old lady, so don't you call you back quickly."

"After the lunch break? Okay, it's too late for me to sleep and get up and do it again, otherwise I won't have enough energy and I'll make a mistake in my hands. ”

"No one won't let you sleep, but if you want to sleep, you have to sleep in Wenling Courtyard, you are the young master's chef, a qiē takes him first, although you hold the monthly example of the gongzhong, but the young master gives more not."

"But I also have to maintain the friendship over there in the kitchen, otherwise people won't know how to suffer if they plot."

"What's wrong?" The little girl's eyes lit up, and she keenly smelled the smell of fresh gossip.

"I'll tell you back, it's so sunny here."

"Hurry up, hurry up."

The two of them hurriedly returned to Wenling Courtyard, and everyone gathered around to tell her about this matter, and everyone guessed that she would definitely stay for the afternoon after lunch, so they made up a reason for the third young master to entertain guests in the afternoon and called her back.

Bai Ko first went back to her room to sleep for a stick of incense, and when she got up, the kitchen was prepared for her, several stoves were lit on fire, and the accessories and condiments she wanted to use were also placed on the table as in the morning.

In less than half an hour, all kinds of tofu dishes were completed, and they were once again filled with two double-layer food boxes, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing carried them, and a little girl was responsible for carrying the tableware, and went to Rong'en Hall together.

Next, while boiling sour plum soup on the stove, Bai Ko told everyone that she was almost slandered by rumors again, and they were stunned when they heard it.

"Bai Ko, are you too popular in the East Kitchen, or are they jealous that you are crazy?"

"Envy, jealousy and hatred, why is a newcomer being the chef of the third young master? This is enough to provoke the anger of the old chef. ”

"It's disgusting, Bai Ko, how old are you, and they make up this kind of thing for you."

"I'm sorry, I should tell the young master, and ask him to advise the eldest lady to clean up the kitchen well and drive out all the people who don't need it, who can stand the intrigue all day long."

"This can't be done, the old people in the kitchen are married to the children of the family in the house for generations, and they are in collusion with each other's interests, not to mention that whoever wants to get rid of them can be driven away, not to mention that there are people who are married, and they can't be moved." Meihuan exploded into a big news.

"Who is married? Whose dowry? Big lady's? ”

Bai Qiao immediately came to her senses, and Aunt Nie only told her the origin of Wengu Mountain, and she didn't mention anything else.

"It's the second lady's, isn't there a housekeeper named Zeng Zhu in the kitchen, it's her."

"I don't know! No one in the kitchen has ever talked about her, she is a very quiet steward, Lu Meihua is more high-profile than her, and every day I hear her sharp voice scolding this and that. ”

"The second lady is not from the capital, and she married a cook to cook for her hometown dishes, I heard that she was very popular at the beginning, and other masters of her cooking also love to eat. But after so many years, the second lady became accustomed to Beijing-style dishes, and she slowly became indifferent to her cook. It is said that Zeng Zhu's promotion to steward is also based on her ability to compete at the first level, and the kitchen is promoted to a higher level in the house once every five years, and the first-class kitchen is promoted to a steward and a steward is promoted to a manager, and the masters are the referees. ”

"Hmm, anything else? When was the last competition? ”

"Next year, there will be a competition for the promotion of the manager to the general manager."

"I didn't know there was such a thing, and no one talked about it for the first three months."

"Because it's still early, there's still a whole year."

"Maybe. In addition to Zeng Zhu's stewardship, does anyone have a backer? ”

"Then I don't know, we only know the origin of Zeng Zhu."

Bai Qiao somewhat understood, Zeng Zhu's steward was the second lady's dowry, and it belonged to the property written on the dowry list, which was well documented, and Wen Gushan came in with the light of the rich aunt, so not everyone knew his origin.

Next year's promotion competition?

You might want to take advantage of it.

While speaking, the sour plum soup on the stove has been boiled, so turn to medium heat and continue to boil, Bai Ko began to make dim sum with sour plum soup, using a frying pan to spread a very thin dough crust to make spring rolls, and the little girl ran to the east kitchen for her, bringing the ingredients for dinner and supper.

The warehouse has been in chaos these days, and there are only some ordinary ingredients every day, so I can only change my tricks to find new ideas.

Seeing that it was time for the third young master to get out of school, everyone in Wenling Courtyard took action, pinching the time to go to the ice kiln to get ice to cool the room, and the crushed ice chiseled off was sent to the kitchen to ice food, and it was not wasted at all.
