Chapter 5 The old cook must also be careful in his work
Lu Doudou took Bai Ko's hand and patted his chest and gasped.
"That's really the little guy in front of the big man?!"
"Probably right? That temperament seems to have been cultivated by the big guys for many years. ”
"The eldest master actually sent his own little servant to care about the diet of his grandson and granddaughter, he really loves his children's grandfather." Lu Doudou's tone was full of envy.
"Have you finished eating your walnuts? It's time for us to get to work. ”
"Oh oh oh!" Lu Doudou shook his apron, spilled the remaining walnuts on the ground, and stopped eating.
"Don't tell anyone about this just now, just the two of us know."
"Why?"
"What's the use of saying that? If that little brother's suggestion is rejected, won't we be laughed at by everyone? ”
"Oh, yes! Well, don't say it, my mouth is tight! ”
Lu Doudou made a gesture of sewing his mouth together, and went back to the kitchen with Bai Ko talking and laughing, and went to the well to start busy for dinner.
The young brother had already finished walking through the mezzanine and returned to the main door of the kitchen, but he did not stop, but continued to pass a small door along the corridor and officially entered the inner house area.
The mother-in-law in charge of this door recognized this little brother, and when she saw that he turned back so quickly, she hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and bowed her head respectfully to say hello, without mentioning the matter of checking the brand.
The little brother silently recited Bai Ko's name in his heart, and figured out that it was this girl who was startled by each other in the middle of the road last night, and then he went straight to the main courtyard of the middle road where the long house lived, and entered the right ear room of Jicheng Hall where the eldest lady lived during the day, and sold his bereavement in front of the lady affectionately, easily resolved the matter of eating on the street last night, endured the tired snacks, and chatted with his mother for a while.
After retiring, the eldest young master of the long house hid outside and secretly called Madame's dowry Pang's mother, whispered a few words to her, and saw that the other party nodded in response, he turned around with a smile and left, and went to the study outside the front yard to exchange homework with the eldest master.
――
The next morning, the breakfast time of the masters passed, the eldest lady sent her maids to the kitchen to spread the word, today the eldest lady and the second lady will take the children back to visit the elders, let the kitchen prepare a few kinds of afternoon snacks to coax the children, and specially ordered the shrimp pumpkin soup for the children, in addition to the snacks with and without nuts to come to a few, because the fragrant assorted nuts are also the children's favorite.
The eldest lady's maid also gave two different soup cups for pumpkin soup, one with lotus pattern and one with lotus pattern.
Lu Doudou walked up to Bai Ko, gave her two meat buns for breakfast, and pursed her lips at her, and the two exchanged a tacit look.
Because today to entertain the two young ladies and grandchildren who returned to their parents' house, the treasury sent a lot of good ingredients to the kitchen, and the stewards were afraid that the apprentices would not handle the ingredients properly and waste the ingredients, so they specially called the second-class cooks and cooks to take care of them on the side.
In the east kitchen, the red case and the white case each occupy a kitchen, so hot dishes and snacks can be made simultaneously, Wen Gushan took Lu Meihua, Zeng Zhu and Huang Dahai to cook in the red case kitchen, and Cui Lin made noodles in the white case kitchen.
After the tense lunch time was over, everyone took a lunch break, and Bai Ko cleaned up the kitchen with the handyman as usual, and then looked at the unusually rich shelf of ingredients and memorized the recipe in his heart.
Even if you don't have the opportunity to cook for the time being, you can't forget the professionalism you should have as a top chef.
After the lunch break, the kitchen began to make afternoon snacks, because there were too many masters, the kitchen was only enough to cook, and there was no special delivery manpower, so under normal circumstances, each room and courtyard sent people to fetch food.
One by one, the boxes were taken, and both kitchens began to clean up and prepare for dinner.
The red kitchen only cooked a few soups and sweet soups, so it was quickly cleaned up, and Wen Gushan commanded everyone to arrange the ingredients needed for dinner dishes.
At this moment, the bride mother under the eldest lady led the girl and walked into the kitchen with an angry face with a food box.
Wen Gushan and the four stewards greeted them with a panicked expression, and the cooks, cooks, and apprentices and handymen all stood from a distance and watched.
"Mother Pang, what are you?" Wen Gushan wiped his smile and approached hard.
"Who made the dim sum and soup for our grandchildren?" Pang's mother pursed her lips and her face was ugly, but fortunately, she had a good self-cultivation and did not go crazy on the spot.
"The stewards did it together." Wen Gushan told the truth, as the head of the kitchen, he only needs to serve the old lady and develop new dishes, and he doesn't have to worry about other people's diet.
"Four stewards will deduct two months' money and grain, and Wen Gushan's supervision will be deducted for one month."
"Huh!?"
Everyone in the kitchen was taken aback, Bai Ko and Lu Doudou looked at each other, and everyone else was whispering.
"Mother Pang, please make it clear what the stewards have done wrong, so that everyone can learn a lesson and never do it again next time." Wen Gushan arched his hand, his attitude was extremely sincere, the punishment had been punished, and it was useless to plead, but he had to understand where he was wrong.
"What's wrong? As a kitchen manager, he was careless! And what's wrong with the face asking? Pang's mother asked sharply.
"I implore Mother Pang to make it clear!" Wen Gushan clenched his fists with both hands and bent down deeply for Pang's mother, and scolded the troublemakers in his heart.
The stewards also hurriedly begged Pang's mother for advice.
"When I ordered food in the morning, it was clear that the shrimp and pumpkin soup and nut snacks were for the children, but look at what you all made!"
"yes, that's what I did." Wen Gushan and the stewards looked wronged.
A girl behind Pang's mother stepped forward with a food box, opened the lid, and inside were two shrimp and pumpkin soup that had barely moved, and in the soup cup with lotus pattern and lotus pod pattern, there was exactly the same soup, and the chopped shrimp floated in the soup, which did not distinguish the baby's special portion.
"As a cook, do you think that a baby who is only seven or eight months old can swallow shrimp directly?! Have you taken the morning's commands to heart? The diet of the other young masters and young ladies in the house, are you all so fooled? ”
Wen Gushan and the stewards were suddenly like five thunderbolts, cold sweat flowed, especially Lu Meihua, who made this soup, was already crying bitterly, she really forgot the exact month of the twins.
"And!" Mama Pang pointed to the spoon in the food box, "You can taste for yourselves what it tastes like." ”
Wen Gushan hurriedly confessed his guilt, took the food box in the girl's hand, Cui Lin and Huang Dahai picked up a cup, Zeng Zhu brought a spoon, Lu Meihua stood still, and watched the four of them taste it.
"Apart from the shrimp and pumpkin flavor, just a little salty. Mother Pang, we are stupid, please make it clear. ”
"Yes, and I have the brain, I know it's salty. Children under one year old should put less sugar, no salt, and no condiments in their food. Do you think you're bold? Pang's mother's well-maintained green onion and white fingers clicked in front of the five of them in Wengushan one by one, "The eldest lady is afraid that you will make a mistake, so she specially gave two different soup cups, and clearly told you that the soup soup is for the five children to eat, but none of you listened to the words." Is it wrong to give you a month's worth of money and food? ”
"Don't be wronged, admit punishment." Wen Gushan's heart was bursting with fire, and he looked at Lu Meihua like an enemy.
Lu Meihua trembled and didn't dare to respond.
Pang's mother beckoned again, and another girl behind her stepped forward and opened the food box, and it was the untouched nut snacks, and the delicate pastries were covered with full whole nuts, all of which were traditional styles, and they were very beautiful on the plate, but they were not at all what Bai Ko had said.
