When the girls from each room and courtyard came to get dinner, Zeng Zhu's barbecue was just finished, and together with a few other dishes, it was hotly packed into a food box and handed over to Xiaoqian to take, and then everyone in the kitchen began to eat dinner.

Xiao Qian carried the food box along the sandwich road in the house, through the layers of courtyards, and walked into the Wenling Courtyard where the third young master Gu Yun lived through a corner gate.

This is said to be a small courtyard, but it is also divided into two entrances, the courtyard is full of green trees and flowers, and the corner gate is a small garden, and it is located at the back of the main house.

Xiao Qian Tong guò went around the verandah through the mountains to the front door, a pair of beautiful sisters were waiting for her in the Ming Hall, they took the food box and took it to the blue gauze cupboard, put the food on the table, and then went to the study to invite the young master to eat.

Dressed in simple cloth clothes, Gu Yun, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, walked into the blue yarn cabinet and looked at the dishes on the table, his nose wrinkled, and he looked disgusted.

"Young master, how about you taste it?" The eldest first-class girl, Mirin, stood at the table with chopsticks in one hand and a saucer in the other.

"Young master, don't you want to taste the barbecue you wanted?" Meihuan's own sister Meihuan is holding a soup bowl and preparing to serve soup.

"No, it's not interesting to look at." Gu Yun was at the age of the voice change period, his voice was slightly hoarse, and with a wave of his hand, he motioned to the girls to take away the meal, "Go back, I'll go to the street to eat, the house has been filial piety for three years, the level of the kitchen has declined, and it is useless to buy so many apprentices, and when the filial piety period is over, the banquet that should be held will be completed, and they will all be replaced within the year." ”

"Young master, you haven't eaten at home for several days, and today you are finally at home and eating on the street again, and Madame should nag again, and the master will be unhappy." Meilun urgently advised.

"Let her nag her to know that I am not happy with the kitchen, and if they hurt me, they will help me to come in with some useful new people. The afternoon snack was so sweet, the kitchen actually had the face to push it to the storeroom, saying that it was because they changed the sugar, and as a cook, they didn't even know the taste of the seasoning, so what kind of cook they were. ”

Gu Yun said that he would leave without looking back.

The girls sighed, hurriedly cleaned up the table, and asked Xiaoqian to send her back to the kitchen.

Although the apprentices do not go to the stove, they eat in the daily share of the kitchen, although they do not eat any good dishes, the staple food is to be full, and they can eat with some bean curd with relish, so the apprentices never complain about this.

Everyone was eating, and they saw Xiao Qian coming back with a food box.

She turned around so quickly, only to explain one thing, the third young master didn't like tonight's dishes, he took a look at it at most and returned the food.

Even the apprentices know that the third young master is a well-known young master in the house, he loves to taste fresh flavors, but he is picky eaters, cooking for him in the kitchen is the most headache, I don't know which dish will cause him dissatisfaction, so he will return to the kitchen and scold him again.

Now the three-year mourning period in the house is less than three months before it officially ends, during the filial piety period, there are many restrictions including diet, the third young master has also grown from a child to a teenager, plus he has been studying for many years, and he is sensible a lot, so he is finally not as picky as before, but every time he returns the food, it still makes the kitchen a little frightened.

Wen Gushan and the stewards put down the dishes and chopsticks, hurriedly came out and took the food box in Xiao Qian's hand, opened it and took a look, sure enough, he didn't taste a bite, the plate of barbecue he specially named was still fragrant and hot, and anyone who smelled it had a great appetite, but the third young master didn't even eat a piece of shredded meat, and the chopsticks were clean.

"Miss Xiaoqian, why is the third young master unhappy again?"

"I don't know, the food box was sent in, and after a while, it was taken out as it was and asked me to send it back." Xiaoqian is just a second-class girl, and she has to listen to the beautiful sisters on weekdays.

"Did the Third Young Master tell us to do something else?"

"Don't bother, the young master has probably changed his clothes and gone out to eat on the street at this time."

"The third young master is eating on the street again!?" Wen Gushan and the stewards' faces were so wrinkled that they could wring out bitter water, and the young master of the long house didn't like the cooking skills in the kitchen, which was a fatal crisis.

"Miss Xiaoqian, not long after the house has just taken off her filial piety clothes and changed into civilian clothes, the third young master always goes to eat on the street, and people will gossip, can you persuade the young master?" Wen Gushan said in a low voice.

"In addition to the family homework every day, the third young master also has a lot of mentors and friends outside to exchange studies, and the eldest lady is already distressed that the young master goes out early and returns late all day, but he can't eat a few satisfying meals at home. Manager Wen, this is not a matter of whether we can persuade the young master as a servant, but what the eldest lady will think. ”

Xiao Qian turned around and left, the smell of Wen Gushan's old smoking gun was too bad, and she didn't want to say a word to him at all.

Wen Gushan sighed helplessly, took the food box into the pantry, placed it on the small table where he ate, and beckoned the stewards to sit down and eat together.

The stewards watched Wen Gushan pick up meat and eat it bite by bite, but the four of them lost their appetite, Xiao Qian's words could not threaten Wen Gushan's status, but for the steward in charge and the first-class cooks, it was very scary.

The apprentices who were sitting in the courtyard eating saw this scene in their entirety, the third young master who was difficult to wait for was an unattainable big man for them, he was hungry or hungry and it was not their turn to worry about it, and the smell of meat wafting in the evening breeze was the most seductive, and they could eat a bowl of rice when they smelled this fragrance.

After dinner, the apprentices and handymen cleaned up the kitchen and washed the dishes, while the cooks and ladies went back to their respective courtyards to rest, waiting for a later supper time when they came back to give the masters some tonics.

The daily supper is taken away by the girls in each house and courtyard after the first and second watches, and then the kitchen is considered to be the end of the day's work, and the apprentices and handymen have to clean all the places thoroughly before they can go back to sleep.

With no one watching, the apprentices were somewhat self-assured of their status, unwilling to work with the handymen until the end, and as soon as the steward and the cooks left, the apprentices rushed to finish the simple and easy little work, and then slapped their butts and left.

But Bai Ko didn't mind saving it until the end, she carefully and carefully cleaned the roasting room, and sprinkled the dripping floor with firewood ashes, so as not to accidentally fall and hurt people one day.

There are always some of the handymen who bully the soft and afraid of the hard, the apprentices are lazy and don't work, they bully Bai Ko, an honest one, and when she comes out of the baking room after cleaning, the handymen are all gone, and the washed dishes are piled up on the long table in the utensils room, without wiping the water, and naturally not put them back in the cupboard.

Silently, Bai Ko went to the well to wash his hands, then wiped off the dishes one by one, and put them back in their places.

After finishing the final work, the second watch was over, Bai Ko yawned, blew out the candle, and in the dark, went out through the corner door of the kitchen, and stood in the mezzanine with the air dead wind lamp.

At the end of this passage was a back door of the Imperial Palace, from which people would enter and exit from time to time during the day, and when the sound of the evening drums came from the city, the mother-in-law who guarded the door would close and lock it, so that although the light of the dying wind lantern was not bright, Bai Ko was not afraid at all.

Bai Ko closed the corner door, walked along the mezzanine to the back door, and went back to the small courtyard where the apprentices lived.

After walking a hundred steps, seeing that the fork in the road was in front of me, a dark figure walked silently from the direction of the back door, looking at the hem of his clothes and trousers, it was a man, and he was single.

"Which big brother is on night patrol? It's hard work, it's dark here, please be careful about your step. ”

Bai Ko, who was startled, quickly pinched his palm, and did not scream, but greeted in a sweet voice, if it was a patrolling courtyard, it would be fine, in case it was really a thief who dared to climb over the wall and come in, he would probably push the boat down the river, so as not to kill people first as soon as he saw his face.

The black figure was obviously taken aback, but he didn't expect that there were still people walking around here so late, and when he heard the deliberately flattering greeting, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

When Bai Ko heard this laughter, he rolled his eyes, and his voice was slightly hoarse when he laughed, as if he was still at the age of voice change, just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy?

"It's a clever girl, where do you do things?"

"The servant is an apprentice in the kitchen."

"Oh? Got the job done? ”

"yes, just cleaned up."

"You have more than 20 apprentices, why are you working alone?"

"The servant moves slowly."

"Not being bullied?"

"I haven't been bullied yet."

The other party was silent for a while, and then Bai Ko saw the black shadow continue to walk towards the front of the mezzanine, only when the two of them staggered, they heard the man say something.

"And then."

Bai Ko subconsciously stretched out her hands, and a tightly tied paper bag landed accurately in her palm.

"You haven't seen any outsiders tonight."

"The maid was tired from work, and boiled water in the kitchen to drink, but she didn't hear any movement, and she didn't know anything."

Bai Ko held the paper bag and looked down at the tips of his shoes, not daring to look up at what the other party looked like.

The black shadow boy didn't say anything again, and by the time Bai Ko straightened up, she was the only one left in the long corridor.

Bai Ko pinched the paper bag, which seemed to contain something like a small snack, she ran back to the kitchen compound, lit a candle, sat by the well and opened the paper bag, which was indeed wrapped in four or five small shortbreads, Bai Kom smiled and squinted, two or three bites, gobbling up the shortbread, the outer layer of oil skin was crispy, the meat filling was salty and delicious, it was really a delicious little shortbread.

The delicious supper was down, and Bai Ko didn't bother to think about the status of the guy who could come back from the back door in the middle of the night, she stood up and jumped twice, shook the cake crumbs on her body to the ground, crumpled the oil paper wrapped in snacks and threw it into the garbage heap, put the candlestick back in its place, eliminated a trace of abnormality, and then went back to the small courtyard to sleep with satisfaction.
