The male chefs whispered to each other, and the female chefs were a little uproar at first, but soon quieted down and accepted the appointment, after all, they were just temporary deputies, not to make up for the lack of stewards, and the old chefs were soon no longer entangled.

What she really didn't expect was Bai Ko herself, she was stunned when she heard this appointment at first glance, and it was Lu Doudou who pinched her arm to make her come back to her senses and quickly salute Zeng Zhu to thank her.

After announcing this person, Zeng Zhu began to assign each person to do errands, and Bai Ko was mentioned separately, only following Zeng Zhu to work.

Wan Qiu and Hongsu, who sent Steward Lu home, came back a little later, and the cooking on the stove had already begun to be cooked, and they had nothing to do when they came back, so they divided the cooked dishes in the small stove room of the white case.

There was a spare cook and a cook who asked them about the gossip of Steward Lu's house, and Wanqiu and Hongsu had no obligation to protect Steward Lu's face, so they told them what they saw.

Steward Lu went home from suspension due to illness, and the family was noisy.

The cook is a skilled trade, and the skilled slave is generally worth more silver, so it is natural that the silver and rice of the monthly routine of the steward are more than other stewards of the same level, and this suspension will be nothing.

But Steward Lu is the economic pillar of the family, her man is to the house under the name of the shop to drive the goods, every day in the morning and return late, the monthly case is only two money, the in-laws are not in good health and have a fixed monthly medical expenses, a son and a daughter are almost at the age of discussing relatives, there is no errand, all sit at home to eat their parents, especially the daughter, that is simply raised by a young lady, ten fingers are green and do not touch the spring water, even her mother's cooking skills have not been learned, only to make needles.

If Steward Lu's illness does not improve quickly, and in the future, she will only rely on her man's money to support the family, and the family will not have to drink the northwest wind.

is also because Lu Meihua's status in the house is higher than that of her man, so no one calls her husband's surname outside the house, but calls her real name.

Wanqiu and Hongsu also specially inquired about the man who was in charge of Lu was surnamed Liu, and he was in the third line of the family, so that no one would know who he was talking about when someone mentioned Aunt Liu in the future.

When the old chefs heard about the situation at Lu Meihua's house, and then thought of their own problems and the situation at home, the few people gloated, and they dispersed with a long sigh.

Bai Ko came out of the red kitchen with a tray in one hand and walked into the small stove, and brought the stir-fried vegetables that had just come out of the pot, Wanqiu and Hongsu hurriedly followed and sorted out the dishes one by one and put them in the food box.

The dishes and snacks from the two kitchens of the red case and the white case were sent in like water, and everyone quickly divided them, and then the girls from each room and courtyard came over on time to get lunch, and when they were all gone, the kitchen began to eat their own lunch.

At this time, the latest gossip about Lu Meihua's family had already spread among the crowd.

Bai Ko took the title of temporary deputy, and enjoyed the meal that belonged to the steward as generously as yesterday, Wanqiu and Hongsu also had a lot of fresh gossip waiting to share with Bai Ko and Lu Doudou, this was the first time they walked outside after they entered the mansion for a few months, and they could talk excitedly when they saw a few wild flowers under the root of the wall.

After eating, Bai Ko did not rush to leave as before, but went to the small courtyard where she lived with Zeng Zhu, the two female housekeepers originally lived in the same courtyard, and the layout was the same as the small courtyard of the head of Wengu Mountain, one bright and two dark three main rooms, just two people lived.

Zeng Zhu asked Bai Ko to sit in the hall, she went into the bedroom and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the two sat horizontally at the table of the Eight Immortals, spread out the paper and pen, and discussed the details of the preparation of the filial piety banquet, while writing notes on the paper.

After marrying in the house for more than 20 years, Zeng Zhu has rich experience in banquets at all levels, and Bai Ko is the same, although her experience is different from Zeng Zhu's, but how many people have to prepare for the banquet kitchen She also came as soon as she opened her mouth.

The two experienced people discussed all kinds of details in a good manner, Zeng Zhu keenly sensed from Bai Ko's words that she should be born in a family of cooks, because some of the qualities were not taught in the workshop, but the family environment could explain it, but she cautiously did not ask too much, but was happy that she had a good deputy.

After discussing for about half an hour, the notes were written on several large sheets of paper, the frame was basically set up, the two broke up, and Bai Ko took the notes back to Wenling Courtyard to do further sorting.

Habitually taking a shortcut to the corner gate of the garden, through the small garden into the main courtyard, I saw the beautiful two sisters sitting under the west wing porch to make needles, heard the footsteps and raised their heads, saw that it was Bai Ko immediately put down the things in his hand, and stood up with a smile.

"Sister Bai Ko is back."

Bai Ko suddenly stopped nervously, "Two sisters, don't make jokes about girls." ”

Seeing Bai Ko frightened like this, Mei Lun laughed happily.

"That's right."

"Not kidding."

Bai Ko is embarrassed.

"Two sisters, what's going on?"

"In the morning, you go to the east kitchen with your front foot, and Uncle Yan will send someone from your back foot, and the new regulations of the ice cellar have been approved by the old lady and the old lady, and they will be implemented on the same day."

"Oh. And then? ”

"Uncle Yan is old and has limited energy, and the ice cellar is in the back house and it is inconvenient for men to take care of it, so a female deacon is added to help Uncle Yan share his worries."

"Who?"

"You!"

Meiqi probably thought Bai Ko's dumbfounded appearance was funny, and she couldn't stop laughing.

Bai Ko continued to embarrass, and this appointment was even more amazing than being Zeng Zhu's temporary deputy.

"The female deacon is also effective on the same day, but because you are young and have not yet reached the end of the day, I am afraid that you will not be able to serve the public, and I am also afraid that irrelevant people will gossip, so the title is the acting deacon, but the deacon's monthly monthly silver tael and rice and noodles are given to you as usual, without deduction."

Meilun finally couldn't hold back her laughter and repeated Yan Bo's words to Bai Ko.

"So, it's right to call you Sister Baikou, right?" Meiwan smiled.

Bai Ko finally had a sense of realism coming back to his senses, scratching his head and laughing stupidly.

"So Uncle Yan is also my boss now? Do I have to hurry to him? ”

"I'm going to see him, but won't you go back to your room and have a look?" Milun pointed to the window of Bai Ko's bedroom and smiled meaningfully.

"My room? What's wrong? ”

"Madame gave you a reward, give you a set of pen and ink for the people, it is said that someone else gave it to the old lady, and also divided the men's and women's money, Mrs. gave you her set of women's money, and asked you to write well."

Bai Ko immediately rushed into the room, and on the writing desk under the window, there was a richly wrapped cardboard box, and several other gifts in general packaging.

"It's that gorgeous box."

Meizumi followed.
