Chapter 46 Officially Notify the Yard to Move
Now that we have reached the vegetarian Cheng dΓΉ, we can only refer to the monk's vegetarian food to list the menu, fortunately, this old grandmother is not very picky, except for the taboo of vegan, she has nothing special to pay attention to, but the taste is actually spicy.
"This old lady eats spicy food, Mama Pang, what is the taste of the other people at the same table?"
"It's good if you cook one or two spicy ones for her, and the other dishes are light."
"Hmm, since it's a filial piety banquet and it's vegan, tofu must be the protagonist?"
"That's nature."
"Then the maid will make a few more tofu dishes, but I just have to go to Yachifang to buy tofu."
"Where do you have to buy it?"
"Because the maid is the most familiar with the various shops in Yachifang, the ingredients for us to practice cooking are supplied by these shops, and the workshop never restricts apprentices to practice their skills in the house, allowing us to go shopping, familiarize ourselves with the ingredients, understand the prices, practice our eyesight from different vendors, learn to distinguish between the good and the bad, the real and the high quality, and our apprentices have also been to Yirenfang several times to see the rare goods on the street."
"I see, what's the name of the tofu shop you recommend?"
"Baojia tofu was originally a very famous time-honored tofu factory, but before the maid was bought into the house, I heard that their brothers were divided, the old mother favored the younger son, a bowl of water was uneven, the concubine quarreled, the brothers turned against each other, causing discord in the family, and affecting the business, I don't know what happened now."
"This is really a scripture that is difficult to read in every family...... Is their tofu so good? β
"Their family has the most complete tofu, from the old tofu in the tofu box to the extremely smooth tender tofu, just one serving, and the maid can make a pure tofu feast that meets the vegan requirements."
"When you say that, I really want to send someone to take a look. What is the specific address of the shop? Is it too late to buy it now? β
"If they do business normally, it's too late now, go early tomorrow morning, their tender tofu will sell the fastest, spend more money, and buy the mold of the tender tofu together, otherwise the tofu will be broken all the way, and next time you have to buy it with the mold."
"Okay, I've written it down, let people go and see it early tomorrow morning, if it doesn't work, I'll find another house."
"Well, Mother Pang will sit down for a while, and the maid will go find a pen and paper."
Bai Ko got up and went out, first went to the kitchen to find a piece of charcoal, and asked Meilun for a piece of white paper to trace the pattern, then returned to his house and wrote down the address of the tofu shop.
Pang's mother took the address and left with a smile.
Bai Ko packed up the bucket rags, asked for a few blank pieces of paper from Meilun, and sat in his room to write the menu, main ingredients, accessories, seasonings, and even edible oil A few items were listed, leaving them for the eldest lady to consider.
Near noon, Milun came in and called Bai Ko to remind her that it was time to go to the east kitchen, only to see that she had written all the blank papers.
"Sister Meilun, when you have time for a while, transfer this to Mother Pang and prepare a few menus for the filial piety banquet."
"Okay, I'll let Meihuan send it over when I get back. Go wash your hands, I'll be waiting for you at the garden corner gate. β
Bai Ko looked at his hands, they were all charcoal powder, stuck out his tongue and ran away.
Meilun took the menu to her sister and asked her to send it to Pang's mother.
"See, Bai Ko is much stronger than us people, in the future, she is only afraid that she will directly cross Xiaoqian and Xiaojing and become the big girl next to the young master."
"I didn't expect her to be literate."
"How could Madam let the young master come here, she must have checked it, and knew that Bai Ko was a useful person, and a person like her would reuse her when the young grandmother entered the door in the future. Don't think about being a person in the house anymore, Bai Ko is in the way. β
Mei Wan nodded depressedly, put the menu on the table and pressed it with a sewing bag, and prepared it for Pang's mother after a while.
Meilun estimated that Bai Ko should finish washing his hands, and hurriedly went to the corner door of the garden to wait, and after a while, Bai Ko came over, and the two went to the east kitchen together.
Everyone in the east kitchen was already busy making lunch, and when they saw the big girl next to the third young master, they all looked curiously, Meilun went straight to Wen Gushan to talk, and left in a while.
Wen Gushan bit the long cigarette stick, relayed Mirin's words to the four stewards, and then through the mouths of the stewards, spread the news that Bai Ko had moved into Wenlingyuan to live.
The kitchen suddenly boiled like a frying pot again, and everyone was envious.
The male chefs all shook their heads and sighed, laughing at themselves that this good errand can only be reserved for the chef, and no young master dares to put a male chef in his yard, what if he hooks up with those beautiful girls.
The cooks congratulated Bai Ko one after another, and joked that if she developed in the future, don't forget everyone.
Bai Ko smiled and said that it was easy to say.
"Bai Ko, you moved to Wenling Courtyard, and you can't come back to do things?"
"Come back, of course I have to come back, the third young master is not at home, I have to come over to do things, I just live in Wenling Courtyard, not transferred over, the third young master is sympathetic to me, let me walk less at night, and save the mother-in-law on the door from annoying me for a long time."
"I really envy you, this is a close waiting, and I may not be able to develop it in the future."
"Ouch, I have waited for the third young master, and I will be assigned a steward and a steward daughter-in-law in the future, which is much better than our lifetime in the kitchen."
"The housekeeper's daughter-in-law is too far away, so don't mention it now." Bai Ko pretended to be coquettish and begged for mercy with his head half-bowed.
"Yo Yo Yo, where is it far away, it will be the age to marry in a few years, just right."
"What are you talking about, you don't have to work?" Lu Meihua, who has always had a cold face, came out like a spirit behind her.
The crowd was bluffed by her and immediately dispersed.
After lunchtime, everyone took a lunch break, Lu Doudou took Bai Ko to the back door, she asked the mother-in-law on the door to help her call the merchant in the morning, and made an appointment to buy things at this time.
The five hundred dollars were carried in his arms for a morning, and he went out more than half of them, and he bought three new basins alone, two new barrels, and a large roll of waste cloth for washing face towels and foot towels, a set of tea sets, willow branches for brushing teeth, two pu fans, a set of scissors and rulers for making needles, a large version of needles, a whole box of various silk threads, and a pair of needles and threads for the doorkeeper.
Bai Ko made an appointment with the merchant to do another business at the east gate of Babu Lane tomorrow morning, and she also wanted to buy another set for her own use, and the merchant happily carried the burden home to stock up.
The two of them carried this large pile of things and worked hard to move back to the small courtyard, which attracted everyone's attention again, but Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian just watched coldly, Mengmei shook the face towel in her hand and pretended to be very busy, only Wanqiu and Hongsu stepped forward to help, took the things and helped put them in Lu Doudou's room, and suddenly filled the idle vacant space.
