Chapter 151: Private Talk in the Carriage
Bai Ko made the braised fish, and then asked them to cook their own noodles and noodles, she began to be busy, and finally made two kinds of cookies with milk flavor and chives flavor.
I did more of this, and after it cooled, Jichengtang and Rongentang both sent a copy, leaving a little for the third young master to try, and the rest was sent to the second lady.
At the end of the girls' birthday luncheon, the girls sent fruit plates, snacks and tea, and the two large plates of cookies were divided by the ladies not long after they were served on the table, pestering Gu Wan to ask her to tell her the recipe, Tong Mingli looked like she would not give up without getting the recipe, holding her cousin's arm and sighing coquettishly.
"No, no, I still want to show off for a few more days, I can't tell you so quickly." How could Gu Wan know this recipe, of course, she could only find other reasons to be vague.
"Good sister, I will exchange that cake recipe with you? I'll dictate to you now. ”
Gu Wan was so shocked that her heart trembled, and she shook her head and took Qiao, but it didn't work.
"Okay, okay, since it's my sister's new recipe, my sister won't be embarrassed by my sister, and my sister must teach me at the end of the year, okay? I also do something new to my home. ”
"At the end of the year, that's fine." Gu Wan pretended to think about it, nodded her cousin's nose, and agreed with a smile.
"Then it's decided!" Tong Mingli clapped her hands happily.
After the meal, the guests said goodbye one after another, and the carriages of each family took their own ladies home in the eight-step alley in turn.
Tong Mingli sat quietly in her carriage and said nothing, until the carriage drove to West Street, she lifted the curtains and enjoyed the street view.
"Miss has something on your mind? Could it be that I didn't see the son of the world at noon? Tong Mingli's personal girl Chunyun said teasingly.
"If Miss wants to see Shizi, just ask him about the days when he went to Bajingfang to see him in the past." Another girl, Chunsheng, laughed crisply in her voice.
"Who said I was here for this! Two girls who are not ashamed! Tong Mingli came back to her senses, and she couldn't spare her girls.
The girls laughed and begged for mercy, and three girls of the same age played in the carriage, and the servants who were with the carriage couldn't help but smile when they heard the laughter inside.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble, let's get down to business." Tong Mingli sat down again.
"Miss, please." The girls spoke in unison.
"Find a way to inquire if the government has invited a celebrity chef."
"Huh?! How could Miss think that? ”
"The two dim sum dishes brought out by my cousin were replaced by others, and my cousin doesn't know any cooking skills at all, so I think she can cook herself a noodle rice noodle wonton at best."
"Where did Mademoiselle find out? Is Miss Cousin unwilling to write a prescription? "The girls know that in cooking, don't want to pretend to be an expert in front of your own young lady.
"No, it doesn't matter if you give a prescription or not, she can memorize it in advance anyway. But I was holding her arm and talking, my muscles were weak, and I wanted to pretend to be a good cook, hum. ”
The two girls looked at each other speechlessly, "Miss Cousin, what's the matter?" ”
"It's not because she's old, she's eighteen years old today, and she didn't split up in time to delay her marriage, isn't she in a hurry to get into the house."
"In this way, this filial piety three-year cousin is completely in vain, and she hasn't even learned basic cooking skills."
"Let's stop talking about her, I don't like this kind of fake insider behavior the most, it will be will, it won't be no, what's the point of pretending to be made by others and pretending to be done by yourself, and if you deceive a man into marrying her and go home, you still have to show your stuffing."
"Miss is angry, let's not talk about Miss Biao, let's talk about how to inquire about their famous chefs."
"The prince will wait until the autumn season to fully resume socializing, now is the last month of the critical juncture, let's not bother him, those few sons who often compete with him and shoot together, I can't write directly to ask, but if I ask my aunt about them, they will know my purpose immediately, and they will definitely not say anything."
"Then ask the Duchess? For example, thank her for her hospitality today, the chef in the house is skilled, and I want to ask for advice on how to make a certain dish? ”
"My cousin invited me to be a guest, and when I look back, I don't thank my aunt and uncle, but I thank the Duchess of Guo?"
"Thank you to the cook in her house, Miss will serve a few more good snacks, Mrs. Gu will definitely return the courtesy, and she has become familiar with each other, so she can inquire about the chef? And let the lady get used to the lady's craftsmanship, and then there will be more opportunities to meet the prince. ”
Tong Mingli felt reasonable when she listened to it before, but it didn't taste right when she listened to it later, and her face was flushed.
"Dead girl! Teasing me again! ”
"Miss, if you don't hurry, Ye Junting will do it first, and her relationship with the prince is also close, the youngest daughter of the old Ye Hanlin, the little sister of the little Ye Hanlin, the niece of the current queen's mother-in-law, and Miss Gu is her sister-in-law. Seeing that the autumn season is imminent, it is common for the prince to walk around his brother-in-law's house more, right? ”
"My family is not bad, our Tong family is also a scholarly family for generations, and my father is also Hanlin, but he is not like Lao Ye Hanlin who serves the saint."
"Yes, the old man is all colleagues of Hanlin, but our Tong family has no direct contact with the prince, Ye Junting only has it, my young lady, you can't let her get ahead of you." As for the girls of the He family, the cousins are all married, and the eldest cousin at the bottom is not yet married. Miss, if you don't hurry up, will you drag on watching the son marry his cousin for a few years? ”
"What are you anxious about, I seem to be going to marry Gu Yun."
"If Miss doesn't pick Gu Shizi, who else can she choose? Could it be that the young lady really belongs to someone else? Chunyun and Chunsheng began to tease their own young lady again, and they would go off topic when they talked about serious things.
"Oh, don't make trouble, go home and wait for me to think about it."
Tong Mingli was a little irritable in her heart, to be honest, Gu Yun is really an excellent candidate for a husband, but if she wants to compete with Ye Junting, she really has no confidence, and now I don't know if Ye Junting is interested in Gu Yun, her queen's aunt may want her to marry the prince, as for Gu Yun's cousins, she doesn't pay attention to them for the time being.
Of course, Bai Ko didn't know the thoughts of the young ladies who came to visit today, and she felt very happy to see the cleaned baking bowl that the second lady sent back, and she succeeded in suing yesterday.
After sending the small baking bowl back to the east kitchen, he borrowed five medium-sized baking bowls and used the oven to make three bowls of puff pastry, mushroom and seafood soup and sent them to Rong'en Hall and Jicheng Hall respectively, and then waited until the two young masters arrived home to start baking the remaining two bowls.
Mrs. Ou's public identity in the mansion has changed to Aunt Rong, the servant woman who waits for Miss Gu Hui, so all fresh snacks that are counted according to the head can only be given two copies, one for the eldest lady and one for Gu Hui, and there is no way to count more than Mrs. Ou.
Although Gu Hui's diet is not in charge of Bai Ko, it is somewhat unbearable to really look at the appearance of a peer, not to mention that she must constantly test her stomach and observe her body's different reactions to different ingredients before writing a menu for her, otherwise Gu Hui will slowly return to her old diet, and there will be no point in saving her.
