Chapter 43: Kitchen Personnel Are Unpleasant
In the east kitchen, people's hearts are also floating at this time, everyone is chattering, and Pang's mother found that the seasoning in Shisun's small kitchen has been spread, so no one sympathizes with the unlucky people in the warehouse, but Wen Gushan felt a little in his heart when he first heard the news, and secretly scolded the gang for being greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, and prayed not to involve him.
As the head of the kitchen, he has the right to designate the purchase, and the group of people who buy specifically for the kitchen naturally want to collude with him, and Wen Gushan has saved a lot of furniture over the years.
Wen Gushan knew that if the eldest lord and the eldest lady took advantage of this rectification and caught the kitchen by touching the vine, he would also be finished with a piece, and he was worried, his face was gloomy all morning, and even the stewards were cautious and did not dare to come out when they talked to him.
As soon as Bai Ko arrived in the east kitchen, she was immediately surrounded by everyone, vying to ask her about any first-hand gossip and how Pang's mother found those inferior seasonings in the small kitchen.
"I didn't see how Mother Pang checked, when I arrived at Wenling Courtyard, she was waiting for the third young master in the main room." Bai Ko pretended to be stupid to the end, and didn't know anything, "I'm not from Wenling Academy, my monthly routine is still in the public school, Mother Pang has something to say to the third young master, how can I listen there." ”
"Alas......" a group of people who wanted to listen to gossip scattered in a boring way.
"Yo, since you're not from Wenling Academy, what's the matter with the cards on your waist?" Xiulan, who was among the third-class female chefs, glanced at it, and a sour feeling came up in her heart, wanting to see if it looked better on her waist.
Yesterday's third-class kitchen competition, the final winner of sixteen people, seven women, nine men, five of which girls are newcomers, only Xiulan and sister-in-law Qian are old chefs, but in fact, they are only in their early twenties, before the newcomers came to the kitchen, who didn't know that they were famous two flowers in the east kitchen, and Xiulan was the one who slept on the left side of the north house, and Bai Ko and Lu Doudou were neighbors.
"The waist card is convenient for me to walk in the inner house, and it has nothing to do with whether I am transferred to Wenling Courtyard or not."
"That is, Bai Ko wants to run at both ends, and there is a waist card on the door where the mother-in-law is not going to make it convenient for her." Lu Doudou came over and dragged Bai Ko to work, and he was annoyed to death this morning.
Xiulan snorted and turned her face away.
After the girls in each room and courtyard took away the food boxes, the cooks and the ladies also began to eat.
"Yo, doesn't it mean that we will all eat in Wenling Courtyard in the future? I still have to eat it in the East Kitchen. It was a second-class male cook who saw Bai Ko walk past him and spat a clean bone on the ground.
"Did Manager Wen and the stewards say that I am not allowed to eat in the East Kitchen?"
Bai Ko immediately stopped, biting her lower lip, and looked at each other with a look of grievance.
The other party was stopped by her rhetorical question, and he was originally looking at people unpleasantly, so he said casually.
Zeng Zhu walked out of the red kitchen with a soup cup, just when he heard it, his brows furrowed.
"Bai Ko eats your food!"
Bai Ko timidly bowed to Zeng Zhufu and bowed his head and left.
There were a few chuckles from the crowd sitting on the side, followed by the chewing of food.
Lu Doudou raised his eyes to look at Bai Kom while chopping rice, Bai Ko chewed the fish in his mouth, and shook his head slightly at her, Lu Doudou swallowed what he wanted to say and concentrated on eating.
After eating, put the dishes and chopsticks down, wipe your mouth, and go back to sleep.
As long as Bai Ko is not officially transferred to Wenling Courtyard for a day, she will always have a room in the courtyard of this third-class kitchen, which is just used for a nap.
Lu Doudou pushed Bai Ko into his room, the two of them lay on the bed shaking the fan and chatted in a low voice, outside the wall on her side was an open space for drying clothes, except for collecting and drying clothes, no one walked around here.
The two of them chatted naturally about the fact that the masters were rectifying the treasury today, and it had been rumored in the house that it was Pang's mother who made the work, and Bai Ko didn't tell Lu Doudou that she actually did it, in her opinion, this kind of reputation for pulling hatred made Pang's mother carry it, she was a third-class chef who had just been promoted, and it was enough to become the chef of the third young master, and there was no need to pay more attention.
Lu Doudou told Bai Ko that it was Mengmei who went to Manager Wen's courtyard in the middle of the night, and she watched her come back early in the morning.
"Do you think she's stupid? It was obviously waiting for you to go out early to take the opportunity to come back, but it turned out to be a latch, and it sounded, and it woke me up all of a sudden. ”
"It doesn't matter if she's smart or stupid, she and Wen Gushan are in love every day. But it's also quite annoying for her to slip out in the middle of the night, and who knows if other men will be allowed to sneak in if the courtyard door is not latched, and the door must be closed when she sleeps in the future. ”
"I must have bolted the door, but the window can't be closed, it's a hot day now."
"Put the bucket of water under the window, whoever climbs in the window, let him step into the bucket, and the whole yard can be woken up by the sound of ping-pong."
"Good way."
"Sleep, don't talk, you have to work when you wake up." Bai Ko lazily shook the fan a few times and yawned.
The courtyard slowly died down at this time, and everyone rested.
Half an hour later, after taking a lunch break, Bai Ko took a step first, went to the east kitchen to get the afternoon and evening ingredients to Wenling Courtyard, and went to the ice cellar halfway, and found a lot of forgotten frozen dried ingredients in the ice cellar in the morning, just pick a little for everyone to eat.
Everyone in Wenling Courtyard was waiting for Bai Ko, and when they saw her carrying a basket full of ingredients, they immediately surrounded her, listened to her instructions, and helped her to do what she should wash, and cut what should be cut.
The girls also pointed out to Bai Ko that the dry pot and rice wine she said yesterday were delivered, and it was really a small jar of ten years of high-quality wine.
Bai Ko found a lump of frozen prawns in the ice cellar, threw them directly into the basin to thaw, took a part of the shrimp to make shrimp rice noodles for a while, and made a seafood dry pot at night for the rest of the night, a bunch of expensive dried seafood in the ice cellar was actually eaten by no one, and the mother-in-law who guarded the ice cellar said that those seafood were used the most during the Chinese New Year, and the remaining little tail goods were forgotten after the New Year, and occasionally remembered to take a little.
While waiting for others to clean up the ingredients, Bai Ko fetched water and wiped the bed boards and cabinets in the room again, and while the third young master had not come back, the bedding that dried in the morning should be quickly taken away, folded and placed on the bed.
Ethnology manages a lunch every day, in the afternoon when the husband answers homework and questions, and when he returns home after school, it is just the time for a snack in the afternoon.
Gu Yun walked into the second gate along the eight-step alley, and when he returned to Wenling Courtyard through the mezzanine, everyone in the courtyard had a full meal of shrimp rice rolls, and they were waiting for the third young master to come home and make fresh ones for him.
A basin of warm water was quickly sent into the main room, and while the third young master was waiting for him to wash his hands and clean his face and change his clothes, Bai Ko put it on the pot and made rice rolls, and when a plate was served fresh and hot to the table, the third young master also cleaned it up refreshingly.
There are four pieces of rice noodles on a plate, full of ingredients, Gu Yun ate them all in one go, he felt that it was not enjoyable, so he added half of it, and then he comfortably ate the fruit and rested for a while, then changed into a practice uniform, and practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard several times.
After practicing the sword, he was sweating profusely, so buckets of hot and cold water were sent into the bathroom, and after almost a stick of incense, Gu Yun, who had changed into homely clothes, sat in the study, and there was a note sent by Pang's mother on the table, which copied the address of Bai Ko's original family.
Gu Yun looked at the address a few times, silently remembered it in his heart, folded the note a few times and put it in his purse, thinking that he would go to the field tomorrow to take a look.
