The third lady promised to wait for the death day to repair the small kitchen and transfer people, but the girl in the third room went to the east kitchen to get food when she said that she leaked, so that everyone knew, Mengmei cried with joy and then relapsed, and began to be a little small again, but in front of Bai Ko, she was honest like a mouse and a cat.

Lu Doudou and the others were completely relieved, this annoying guy finally didn't have to be an eyesore in front of everyone.

In order to ensure that the kitchen is smooth, Bai Ko will take responsibility for the kitchen girls, and whoever has a problem will be responsible, and if she dares to make a mistake in secret, she will be killed on the spot before the eldest lady knows.

No one protested against Bai Ko's naked threat, but they believed that she could do what she said, and no one wanted to be slapped on the head by her with a wok.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, in addition to cooking three meals a day, the east and west kitchens also began to prepare banquet dishes in advance, and then put them in the ice cellar for refrigeration.

At this hour of the turn of the afternoon, the traffic outside the Guogong Mansion was busy, the male guests got off the car and dismounted in front of the main gate, the eldest lord met the guests in the main hall in the front yard, and the female sedan car that came with him went around to the side door and drove into the eight-step alley, and went directly to the second gate to Jicheng Hall, and the fruits and pastries and snacks of the guests were served on the table like water, and the children who came with their parents were also knowledgeable.

The eldest lady Gu Xian and the second lady Gu Jie also went back to her parents' house with their husbands for dinner, and by the way, they led the two older cousins, the third lady Gu Wan and the fourth lady Gu Yan to assist the grandmother and the eldest lady to entertain the guests.

The fourth lady Gu Yan is fifteen, she is the birthday at the beginning of the year, and she is still the eldest daughter of the third room, so letting her come out to entertain guests is naturally also the meaning of letting the ladies present look at each other and choose a family affair for her.

The strength of the third master is a little weak, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't pull it, the marriage of the children under his knees will become a big problem, so in the front yard, except for the seventh young master, the six young masters all come forward to entertain the guests, and the second young master should also make a family affair.

Naturally, Jichengtang could not sit more than a hundred female guests, so only the closest relatives could sit in the house, and the rest of the guests were led to the garden by the servants one after another to sit in the arranged seating order after meeting the old lady and the eldest lady according to the relationship between relatives and relatives.

After noon, Pang's mother stepped forward to report that the invited female guests had arrived, and only then did the old lady and the eldest lady get up, surrounded by servants and girls, and lead their relatives to the garden.

The chairman was set up at the top of the pavilion on the third floor, and four tables were set up at the end of the corridor in the middle of the lake pavilion and at the entrance, leaving it for the seven girls in the family and other ladies of the same age, who had something to talk about, and the girls really needed to know the latest news and anecdotes from the outside world, and it would be too boring and restrained to share a table with the elders.

At noon, with a burst of golden sound, the banquet began, there were two girls standing at each table, one was responsible for tidying up the dishes and bowls on the table, and the other was responsible for sending the dishes and bowls that were removed.

Bai Ko took away six girls, including Xiao Qian and Xiao Jing, from Wenling Courtyard to help her light the fire, so that the kitchen girls can concentrate on various matters of cooking, kitchen management is Bai Ko's job, she pinched the cooking time, pinched the serving time very accurately, said when the food will be served, the little guy in charge of passing the food does not need to urge at all, just find a place to sit and rest, after all, the food box full of plates and bowls is very heavy, and it is very important to keep the body lì.

The banquet that began at noon was eaten until the end of the day, a table of four people, twenty-four dishes, and the amount was enough, and the guests were very happy, but with the main dishes one by one, many dishes were basically withdrawn after only a few bites.

are all relatives and friends of the same class, who will lack this bit of oil and water in their stomachs, since they are full, they will not eat again, at most new dishes are served on the table out of politeness or curiosity, what is the taste of tasting a bite or two, Bai Ko thought that it would not be too wasteful, but in fact, it still exceeded her expectations.

Gu Wan's three tables were even worse, and they didn't move a bite when they took down some dishes, and I don't know where those young ladies heard that they should eat less to keep in shape, and boys don't like fat girls.

It's a group of teenage unmarried girls who are talking about marriage, and this argument easily convinced everyone present, even if some girls could eat more, they had to put down their chopsticks with everyone.

When the last seasonal fresh fruit was served, the whole feast was over, and the girls who were tired of chatting did not refuse the fruit, and elegantly divided the two fruit plates.

After the fruit bowl was sent out of the east kitchen, the cooks were so tired that they sat down in the shade of the trees, Bai Ko handed over the rest to Zeng Zhu, she took the girls to withdraw first, and went to the ice cellar to get the wontons and ice packs prepared in advance.

Aunt Su and Meiqimei were guarding in the courtyard, and when they saw them coming back, they immediately boiled water to cook wontons, and when the seven of them washed their hands and cleaned up their faces and cleaned up before returning to the small kitchen, the seven large bowls of cold wontons were also done.

Bai Ko got up and was busy until this time, tired and tired, swallowed the wontons, returned to the house, and fell asleep.

The next person is tired, and the host and guests are the same, especially the guests who are far away, go out early in the morning, and have to say goodbye after eating, otherwise it will be too late to get home.

So the old lady, the young master and the young lady had to be busy sending off the guests, and when the usual tranquility was restored in the house, it was after the Shen time.

The masters, who had been tired for most of the day, went back to their respective houses and ordered some porridge and side dishes for dinner.

Gu Yun and his brothers accompanied their father in the front yard to send off the guests, and the father and son went back to the back house together, and chatted with their mother who had just come back.

The people who can be mobilized under the male stewards also include the cooks in the western kitchen, and there are enough manpower, but the time control of cooking and serving is not as neat as that of the cooks, but I don't feel that the banquet was in full swing at that time, and now when I sit down, I know that the male chefs are much worse than the cooks, and the most obvious is that the time interval between the dishes is fast and slow.

After such a big feast, it is customary to reward the subordinates for their hard work, and after discussing the couple, they decided that the cooks and the cooks would take a reward, and the three stewards would only give Zeng Zhu a heavy reward, Huang Dahai and Cui Lin would only take one-third of Zeng Zhu, and Bai Ko, who had the greatest credit, was rewarded by Gu Yun, which was an additional reward for the prince.

After some negotiations, Gu Yun went back to his courtyard to rest, sympathizing with the girls under him who were tired, and authorized them to rest and relax today.

Bai Qiao sat on the railing of the verandah in the west wing in a daze with a stupid look that she hadn't slept enough, and when she saw Gu Yun stepping into the courtyard, she reacted half a beat slowly, and then climbed down the railing and walked to the courtyard, and followed the third young master into the upper room.
