Hearing Bai Ko's voice, the five people in the room shook together, Guan Xiumei and the others hurriedly took out their handkerchiefs to wipe their faces, but they cried for a while, and the makeup on their faces was crying, and the more they wiped their faces, the more ugly they became, and they couldn't see people at all. (Baidu search rainbow network)

Zeng Zhu loudly promised Bai Ko outside the door, and at the same time drove them to the idle room next door, not allowing them to make a sound.

Bai Qiao lifted the curtain and entered the hall, and seeing that Guan Xiumei and the others were not there, her eyes quietly swept the rooms on both sides, and sat down at the table with a smile.

It was obvious that Zeng Zhu hid Guan Xiumei and them in the room, Bai Ko didn't bother to talk to Zeng Zhu about business, and casually perfunctory for a while, just thinking that he was really here to inspect, and then said that he wanted to borrow Lu Doudou and them to do some personal things, and got up to say goodbye.

Zeng Zhu got up to see off the guests, and saw Bai Ko out of the courtyard gate, so she asked Guan Xiumei and them to come out, and asked them to go to the well to fetch water to wash their faces and then go back.

"I have finally climbed to the current position, if I lose a qiē because of your relationship, I will definitely not let you go! Get lost! ”

Looking at the four wet faces, Zeng Zhu unceremoniously gave the eviction order, Guan Xiumei and the others were cold and frozen, shivering and obediently went out.

Bai Ko went out of Zeng Zhu's door, really went to find Lu Doudou, and told them about the winter hunt, Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian are both old men in the kitchen, and they also know about it, as soon as Bai Ko heard that Bai Ko was going to take the three girls together, they were a little worried after being happy at first.

"It's a good thing to be able to go to Balidu, every year in winter, it's a good opportunity for chefs to take the opportunity to compete in cooking, but it's cold, girls are very guilty when they go there, you must pay attention to keeping warm."

"There is a royal hunting ground, the people are forbidden to enter to hunt and chop wood, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, there are many animals, according to the custom, the boys' unmarried camp must be at the edge of the open water, the masters are naturally all kinds of thoughtful, do the next person remember to keep warm is the first priority, bring more ginger tea, boil a pot of water every day to drink."

"The cooks in our house who went to winter hunting in previous years have not been sick since they came back, but they still compete for places every year to the point of breaking the head, and no one wants to give up this opportunity."

"If you are good in the cooking competition, you will be rewarded when you come back, which is also a common practice."

Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian talked about the common sense and conventions they knew to Bai Ko and them.

"Go, of course you have to go, the opportunity is rare, since you are the leader of the white housekeeper, why don't you go, you should go to each other, otherwise it is all the camp of the masters, how scary it is for a girl in the white housekeeper." Lu Doudou expressed her attitude without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, the four of them will be better, act together, go in and out together, and don't give others a chance to bully." Hongsu and Wanqiu nodded excitedly.

"The four of you are not enough, the male chef also brings a few, the steward has to wait for the grandfather and Mrs. Guo, but she is also the first time to participate in the winter hunt, you still have to bring a few experienced old chefs, and the two male stewards leave one at home to take care of the old lady, she will definitely not go out when she is old." Shirley said.

"The second and third rooms must have arrived at the place at that time, and the long house here will go out to participate in the winter hunt, which is really a whole house." Bai Ko imagined the scene of the departure procession, and felt a headache.

"That's the case, every year, we have been filial piety for three years, so we haven't gone for three years, this year is the first year of the eldest lord's lordship, and it won't work if you don't go. In the past, it was the old prince and the old lady who went, and the wives stayed at home to take care of the children, and the old men were officials in other places, and they were not counted. When the third young master grows to the age of ten and becomes the grandson, the doctor will begin to take him to winter hunting, and this year the third young master will also attend as the prince, he will definitely try his skills, and the prey he brings back depends on yours. I heard those male chefs say that even if the chef picks some mushrooms and roasts them as snacks, as long as they are seen by outsiders, the mushrooms have to be served out for everyone to taste. Sister-in-law Qian added.

"Hey! Do you have to carry someone on your back to eat something by yourself? Lu Doudou shouted wow.

"There's no way, in that environment, you can't help but say you're not happy, a group of people around you are coaxing the seedlings, if you don't agree, you won't give face to the big guys, and the masters can't help, at most they will solve some practical difficulties for you, such as finding the imperial chefs to order tools and seasonings or something."

"In that case, don't you eat more barbecue?" Wanqiu imagined strings of prey hanging on the bonfire.

"It doesn't matter what kind of dish, it's all counted, so there is a saying that the chefs of each province have a big competition." Sister-in-law Qian said.

"Understood, I'll go and make my preparations, you also prepare your personal belongings, go to the street to buy new cotton to make a few thick cotton jackets, don't be reluctant to pay, it's your own bad luck if it's frozen."

Bai Ko told the three of Lu Doudou, and asked them to tell the two male stewards about the selection of people for winter hunting, and she went back to Zhongming Courtyard first.

As a result, there was a small servant sitting at the gate of the courtyard, and Aunt Su was talking with her on the side, and when she saw Bai Ko coming back from a distance, the two hurriedly got up.

"White steward, the little one is called Xiao Yanzi, and the young master sent the little one over to ask for a temporary account room in the workshop outside."

Bai Ko saw that the other party's facial features were upright, and he couldn't find fault with his appearance, but he didn't have any characteristics that people remembered at a glance, and he looked a little older than Gu Yun.

"Oh, yes, yes, I've been waiting for days, and I'm finally waiting for someone. What's your full name? ”

Bai Ko beckoned, led people into the courtyard gate, stood under the porch and spoke, through the closed screen door, could not see the scene in the courtyard.

"The little one is called Yan Zheng."

"How old are you this year?"

"Eighteen this year."

"Did you promise a marriage?"

"Not yet, there is no one under the age of twenty who is engaged."

"Oh, that's good, you don't have to pick the flowers in other people's houses."

"Huh?! No, no, if the small one comes randomly, he is willing to ask the young master to beat him to death. Yan Zheng was taken aback, shaking his head desperately and waving his hands.

"This is what you said, I can remember this, Aunt Su also heard it, someone testified."

Aunt Su pursed her lips and secretly laughed, nodding again and again.

Yan Zheng waved his hand again and again to ensure that he did not dare to mess around.

"Can you ride a horse?"

"Yes, the young master's little servant can ride a horse."

"Then before the second minute, we met at the stable, you just helped me to the stable to say, I will take you out on horseback in the afternoon, go back quickly."

"Yes, Butler." Yan Zheng nodded in response, "Does the white steward have any other instructions?" ”

"If you have a pen and ink account book, bring it with you, go out early and return late every day, and you will have lunch and dinner over there, I don't have time to look at it every day, it's all up to you, remember to meet and talk to me every night when you come back."

"Yes, white steward, don't worry, I will do it well."

"That's it for the time being, you go get busy first, I'll look for you if you have something."

"Yes, white steward, little one retires."

Yan Zheng is also a neat person, he will leave after receiving an errand, and will never delay time.

Bai Ko reassuringly went back to her room to write her new plan
