"Didn't the eldest lady say to let you practice freely, the kitchen is open, how come there are no ingredients left?" The young man, who had been quiet, asked.

"Don't mention it, it's hard to put it into words, in short, today is a very lively day."

"Idle is idle anyway, your dough is estimated to wait a while before it is used, why don't you tell me a story?"

"Na, the result of the conflict caused by you is that Doudou and I almost fell into the well, and the rest is to compete for the opportunity to practice on the stove, not to give in to each other, to grab the ingredients, to grab the pot, to grab the stove, to grab the firewood, you can grab anything."

"You don't want to rob them, so you stay alone and practice alone in front of the empty kitchen? Wen Gushan, the kitchen manager, doesn't want to do it? Seeing that the ingredients are used up, why don't you take advantage of the day to call the warehouse to replenish it? Is he very resistant to replenishing manpower? ”

Bai Ko glanced at him with some surprise, then looked at the empty shelf, and smiled faintly.

"The steward only talks to the stewards, and usually doesn't bother to look at us, and he really doesn't know what he thinks."

The little brother raised his eyebrows, as if he agreed with Bai Ko's statement.

"By the way, do you want to know what happened to the last dim sum?"

"Was it intercepted only in the hands of Pang's mother? Didn't get it to the table at all? Anyway, there are a lot of snacks in the kitchen, and the lady and lady don't care too much about the few things. ”

"But you didn't make any of the snacks you recommended, aren't you curious?"

"Why does the maid think that she hasn't seriously mentioned the dim sum to Manager Wen at all? It's a bit of a deliberate trick, to see if they have maintained their previous level after three years of silence? ”

"You're a very sensitive apprentice." The boy said this, apparently by acquiescence.

"I am the most sensitive to things in the kitchen, which is the hard quality of being a good chef."

"It's good to have self-confidence, but can it help you pass the final assessment?"

"Then it depends on how this third assessment is going to be tested. Is it just a casual formality, anyway, every apprentice is a good seedling, just pick a pleasing one to stay? Or do you really want to have more good cooks in your kitchen? ”

"The government didn't spend money to buy you in to support idlers, you apprentices who are learning art are much more expensive than ordinary slaves, do you know?"

"In this case, the last assessment is a grand competition, please all the masters to attend and watch, they will taste and score the dishes, one copy of the ingredients per person, and there will be a scramble for ingredients when you get it, some people are greedy to take it all, and some people can't catch a single dish."

The little brother sat in the shadows and looked down to think, Lu Doudou pinched the washed shallots and walked in quietly.

Bai Ko cut the green onion into green onion segments and chopped green onions, poked the dough, kneaded it a few more times, and pushed it into a thin skin with a rolling pin over and over again to make fresh-cut noodles.

Lu Doudou saw that the noodles were cut, she went to the stove to make a fire, and then Bai Ko took the pot to make zuò soy sauce water and scallion oil, and then started another pot to boil the noodles, taking advantage of this gap, took the oil pot used before to the well to wash it, and when she came back, Lu Doudou had already prepared all the tableware.

When the water boils, use a colander to scoop it up when it is cooked, and then the noodles are gluten, and then they are soft and rotten, and the taste is not good.

Drain the water carefully, divide it into three portions and put it in a bowl, pour the sesame oil and mix well to avoid sticking, then the soy sauce water and scallion oil, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onions.

"Noodles with scallion oil, you're done."

Bai Ko first took a bowl and brought it to the little brother, while she and Lu Doudou ate it by candlelight.

The scallion oil noodles were very fragrant, and the three of them didn't care about talking, only their own bowls in their eyes, and the sound of snorting and eating noodles wafting in the quiet kitchen.

"Hmmm! Delicious! The boy sitting in the shadow was the first to put down the bowl and lick his oily lips, satisfied, "Sure enough, I am confident in my craft, and such a simple scallion oil noodles can be made so delicious." ”

"What ......?" Bai Ko looked at each other expectantly.

"I can't be the master of this matter, I can only promise that I will find a chance to mention it, but what the eldest lord and eldest lady think in their hearts, I can't do anything."

"As long as I am given a fair and open opportunity, the servant guarantees that the money I bought in the house will never be lost." Bai Ko said very seriously.

Lu Doudou beside her was holding her bowl and nodding desperately.

The boy stood up with a smile and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief as he walked towards the door.

"Okay, I remember what you said, for the sake of this bowl of noodles, I'll help you be a lobbyist."

"Thank you, little brother!"

"You have to live well, don't let people cheat again."

"Do your best."

The little brother's gossip before leaving provoked Lu Doudou's shoulders to shrink again, and Bai Ko slapped her the back, turning her attention back to washing dishes and wiping the table.

"Bai Ko, I don't think I'm sick? When I heard others say that they are dead or alive, my heart trembles. Lu Doudou pursed his mouth and looked pitiful.

"The more you are like this, the more people think that you are a bully, do you know? Twenty-four people, one less, the remaining twenty-three people have one more chance. Are you going to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others? ”

"Nope! I didn't think so! ”

"Then cheer up, go to the well and say 'fuck it' three times, and then go back to the house and sleep."

"This ...... Does this work? ”

"Think about whether you were angry when you knew who hit you in the back?"

"Yes, I'm angry."

"Mobilize this anger again, and scold loudly at the bottom of the well, whether it is useful to get up tomorrow or not."

"Okay, I'll try it later!"

With Bai Ko's comfort, Lu Doudou's expression finally improved, the two cleaned the kitchen, returned the tableware, closed the door, and then came to the well, Lu Doudou lay on the edge of the well, stretched her head down, and scolded three sentences of "fuck it" in her loudest voice.

Raising his head and thinking about the scolding, Lu Doudou stretched out his head and scolded three times, his throat was a little tingling, and then he felt better, and went back to the house to sleep hand in hand with Bai Ko.

In the squatter house, the girls were all asleep, Bai Ko and Lu Doudou groped their way to their respective pillows with their familiarity with the indoor environment, gently took off their clothes, climbed on the bunk and lay down, and fell asleep as soon as their eyes were closed.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up to work before dawn, Bai Ko paid close attention to Lu Doudou, and saw that her expression was indeed much better than yesterday, and sure enough, she had a heart disease and needed a heart medicine.

At noon, after the war-like lunch time was over, the apprentices stared at the remaining ingredients on the shelves with red eyes, and when they were thinking about what dishes they would practice today, the treasury sent someone to send a lot of fresh ingredients to fill the shelves again.

Just when everyone thought that there was a temporary banquet in the evening, the people in the treasury invited Wen Gushan aside to whisper, and it didn't take long for the two sides to gather the apprentices and announce a new order from the eldest lady.

The house guarantees the supply of ingredients, and the kitchen is open all day, so that the apprentices can practice their crafts well, and do not fight because of the shortage of ingredients, otherwise they will be found together, and several people will be removed from the fight.

What the Guogong Mansion wants is a good cook who can really do things, not a waste that makes the masters worry all day long.

When Bai Ko high-fived and celebrated with the people around him, he had to praise the mysterious little brother who was unidentified in his heart, and he was really decent in front of the eldest lord and eldest lady.

It's amazing!
