Chapter 16: Delicious Burritos

The girls re-submerged their clothes in the basin, hurriedly cleaned up and hurried back to the kitchen, and the boys formed small groups of their own to mock the girls for their discord, which caused several petty quarrels.

After the supper time was over, Bai Ko stayed as usual to practice her craft, and the other girls wanted to go back to wash their clothes, but there was not enough light to illuminate, so they were resentful, and scolded Mengmei again, and then they went to bed, leaving their clothes until dawn tomorrow to wash them.

Bai Ko found a plate of duck eggs and a small packet of plant ash on the ingredient shelf, and was thinking about whether to use it to make alkaline water, when heavy footsteps suddenly came from the kitchen yard in the dead of night.

Although she knew that the Ye Guo Mansion was very safe, the kitchen was very close to the back door after all, and it was difficult to say if a thief came in over the wall, and there were also the first two experiences of being frightened, Bai Ko didn't want to be careless, she quickly put down the ingredients and grabbed two rolling pins.

The footsteps outside went straight to the lighted kitchen, and a familiar figure immediately appeared outside the door, holding a large paper bag in his hand.

"You don't have to be so nervous, do you?" The man who had come was one of the guards he had seen last time, and he stepped into the room softly, placing the paper bag in his hand on the table.

Bai Ko also put down the rolling pin and moved the shoulder muscles that had been tense.

"It's really the first two times I was scared by that little brother, what if someone ignores the rules of the house and sneaks over to do bad things?"

The guard, who had been untying the paper bag with his head down, raised his head and blinked at the sound of this.

"Oh, then there's only one way you can shout loudly, and do your best to shout before the bad guys gag you."

"I guess I was put down before I screamed, and even if the mother-in-law on the door heard one or two movements, I am afraid that she would not be so diligent in coming to check."

"Then there is no way, accept your fate, the mother-in-law has always been lazy, and she wants them to be diligent and profitable."

“…… Are you really a palace guard? Bai Ko felt speechless.

The guard grinned, opened the paper bag and pushed it towards the white cardamom.

"Sauce meat? It's cold and wants to warm it up for you? "That bag of sauce meat is at least two catties, and it is cut one by one.

"Can you spread a few more cakes? For a while, it will be eaten as a supper for other brothers on night duty. ”

"Okay, let's make a meat burrito with sauce and spread some vegetables."

The fresh meat in the kitchen is not overnight, but the vegetables are piled up one by one, Bai Ko watched the meat preparation, Mr. boiled the water, weighed the flour and put it in a basin, and then took a few eggs, put them on the long table together, and then took the vegetables and went outside to wash.

The boiling water is used to knead the dough and blanch the vegetables, so only half a pot of water was boiled, and when Bai Ko came back with the cleaned vegetables, the water on the stove was just boiling, she divided a bowl of boiling water, blanched the vegetables in the pot, and put them on a plate.

Mix the bowl of boiling water with cold water, mix it with warm water, add it to the flour and knead the dough little by little.

The dough was put aside, Bai Ko began to check the sauce meat, she tore off a small piece to taste the taste, the cold sauce meat was very chewy, but when it was supper, not only tired teeth, but also tired stomach.

So Bai Ko moved out of the cooked food board, shredded all the sauce meat, and took some spices to make condiments, and then made a stove, and the sauce meat was returned to the pot and the stall cake was carried out at the same time.

The smell of the spiced meat was fragrant, and the smell of it made people appetizing, and the guard also helped at this time, and when Bai Ko spread out a cake, he spread the cake on the board, put a few pieces of vegetables, put on the shredded sauce meat, sprinkled some sesame seeds, and finally rolled the cake tightly and stacked it neatly in the oil paper that had wrapped the meat before.

"Tut-tut, I bought less meat, buy more next time, otherwise I'm so busy that I haven't tasted any of them, it's not cost-effective."

The preparation of the white cabbage was very accurate, and the amount of cake and sauce meat was just right, no more, no less, the guard re-wrapped the burrito and tied it with a rope, and said with some greed when he smelled the fragrance.

"It doesn't matter if you just eat one, no one knows anyway." Bai Ko laughed as she packed her things.

"It's not enough for these few, forget it, go back and watch them fight."

Bai Ko was amused and laughed.

"Boy, it's a big night, who is going to fight?"

Outside the door, a cold female voice suddenly sounded, and the white laughter stopped abruptly, but the guard turned around unhurriedly, and reached out to help the woman who was entering the door.

"It's so late, and the third aunt hasn't rested yet?"

"The old sister who patrols the night hasn't come here yet, how can she close the door and sleep, someone came to look for me, not to mention the kitchen thief, let me come and have a look." The woman, who was in her forties, covered her head with a blue handkerchief, looked sleepy and wanted to sleep, and her mouth was talking, and her eyes glanced at Bai Ko.

"Thieves?" The guard saw the aunt's eyes, and also glanced at Bai Ko, "What a joke." ”

Bai Ko really didn't know what to say.

"Boy, what are you doing here?"

"I bought sauce meat, I don't know that there are people in the kitchen at night, come and let people process it for supper."

"Hey, you're really looking for a chance. Alright, get out of here, don't get in the way. Remember to walk through the gate. ”

"Then I'll go first, the third aunt will also rest early, tell this girl what you want to eat."

The guard carried something, and disappeared outside the door in a flash, without a sound of footsteps.

Only then did the woman look Bai Ko up and down a few times, "You are the apprentice that my nephew said had good skills?" ”

"Slave White."

"You make supper for that kid every day?"

"No, I do it once in a while, most of the time it's me alone."

"It's not just for me, that kid is our nephew, and his future is very good, but I don't want to be affected by some ignorant villains."

"The servant doesn't dare. When the assessment is over, the kitchen will no longer be open at night, and it will be difficult to have a chance to meet in the future. ”

The third aunt's face looked a little better now.

"It's good to be sensible, don't be like the girl who disturbed my peace before, that's too stupid."

"Yes, the maid obeys the teachings of the aunt."

"Okay, you can just call me the third aunt, the old man's surname is Nie, and he is the third at home."

"Yes, Third Aunt Nie, if you have a chance in the future, the maid will make some delicious filial piety to the third aunt."

"You said that the kitchen will not be open at night in the future, how can there be a chance? Coaxing to sound good? ”

Bai Koma smiled and pointed to the shelf of ingredients, "The ingredients are all here, and the maid will also make a supper for the third aunt?" This big night, is the noodle soup good? Don't laugh at the stinginess of the servant, the fresh meat in the kitchen is not overnight, and you can't make a wonton if you want to. ”

"I know the rules of the kitchen, I do whatever I have, and I'm not so picky."

"Okay, I'll lay another egg, does the third aunt like to eat fried eggs or boiled, or egg drop?"

"This big night, where can I eat a complete egg when I am old, just the egg flower, make four servings, and go back to my old sisters who are patrolling the night and call them over to rest together."

"Okay,, clean up and do it right away."

"Okay, I'll bring someone back, I'll send that stupid girl outside first."

"Thank you for the third aunt, there is the third aunt Lao."

Bai Qiao watched with a smile as Aunt Nie walked towards the corner gate, and then quietly followed behind, using the cover of night to see who was making trouble for herself.
