Chapter 295: The Collateral Result of Fame
The plates in the pot of boiling water were taken out one by one, the water was wiped dry with a clean and dry gauze, and Bai Ko began to skillfully cut the meat with a knife in his hand.
This most superficial layer of meat with a belt is the most delicious, Bai Ko moves very fast, the fragrant slices of meat are piled up in the plate in her hand, and it takes a few plates to peel off the surface of the whole sheep, and then continue to hang on the fire and roast, waiting for the second round.
The handyman took a tongs from another pot of boiling water, wiped the water dry, and handed it to Bai Ko, who divided the meat into several plates and brought it to the royal front to taste to the saints and the nobles and officials, and the people waiting at the barbecue grill could only eat from the second round.
The tasting in front of the emperor is just a tasting, and the heavenly family and officials do not express their opinions, and really decide which roasted whole sheep wins, and only depends on who eats the most in front of the shed.
According to the current point of view, the advantage of Bai Ko is overwhelming, there are more and more people in line, and it looks like they are about to reach the royal front, and the roasted whole sheep in other sheds has also come to serve and taste, but many sheds have not even lined up in front of the shed, and even the line in front of the shed of the well-known old chef is much shorter than in previous years.
The saint smiled in a very good mood, picked up the chopsticks and beckoned the courtiers to taste together.
Even the belt meat is full of crispy, not only is it not burnt dry, but there is even a little bit of juice, I don't know how to lock the water in the skin and meat, it is a new taste, it is a kind of new taste, it is simply impossible to stop the chopsticks, but it is a pity that each person does not get much, a few chopsticks are gone, and the food is not enjoyable.
The sage wiped his mouth, took a sip of tea, summoned Ye Guogong and his wife to the palace to talk, and asked them where they got a good cook.
The Duchess of the Kingdom is truthful.
I heard that it was only bought from the cooking workshop of Yachifang, and everyone here was surprised, what level of cooking workshop there was in Yachifang, they knew what level they knew, after all, most of the cooks in these nobles' mansions were bought from there, and the trained ones were just apprentices, and it would take several years of polishing to grow into a qualified cook.
And judging from the taste of this mutton, this young girl is already a skilled cook, and she is simply amazingly talented.
The sage praised a few words, and the attendants lined up to present the roast mutton from other families, and Ye Guogong and his wife took the opportunity to retreat and return to their original places to continue tasting the food.
The chief eunuch had already walked from the end of the team to the head of the team at this time, and saw many young men and girls talking in pairs, which made the whole team chaotic.
This is a rare opportunity for unmarried men and women to get along at close range, and there are the most people around men and women who are the best candidates for marriage like Gu Yun, even if they are girls with soft temperaments, their reserved expressions can hardly hide their proud looks.
The big eunuch walked to the front of the shed with a smile on his face, Bai Ko just retreated to the bottom of the shed to rest for a while, she had cut off the first round of skin and flesh, and the rest of the meat had to continue to be roasted, so she didn't need to stare nervously, it didn't matter if she handed it over to someone else to take care of.
Gu Yun and a few of his buddies were also waiting here for meat to eat, and many girls nearby looked at them, but they didn't dare to come over, they only dared to whisper while watching, and their faces were flushed.
When these boys saw a eunuch coming, they didn't see his face clearly, they first saw that his round-necked robe was embroidered with patterns on the shoulders and collar edges, and immediately reacted that it was the chief eunuch next to the Son of Heaven, and hurriedly saluted and greeted him, and then called Bai Ko to talk in the shed, and the others all avoided it for the time being.
"Bai Ko, this is the sage's close attendant, Xi Gonggong."
Bai Ko hurriedly took off his mask and bowed his head to salute, "Servant Bai Ko greets my father-in-law." ”
Father-in-law Xi just wanted to praise a few words politely, but when he saw Bai Ko looking up, he was a little stunned when he saw her appearance at first glance.
"The little girl is a little kind." Grandpa Xi's words were unclear, his eyes turned to Gu Yun, and Bai Ko's appearance provoked some memories of him.
Gu Yun was calm, smiled slightly, and bowed.
"My family has bought a total of twenty-four apprentices with the highest value from several culinary workshops this year, and Bai Ko is the only one who is the best, and now he is my steward, taking care of all the chores for me, and I am very relieved that I will stay as the first steward of the inner house in the future."
"Yo ho, it's worth the money, the price of an apprentice, buy a big steward." Father-in-law Xi smiled lightly, and turned his gaze back to Bai Ko, "What's the little girl's surname?" ”
"The surname is Bai."
"Oh? It's really a good surname, and the Sprinkle family thought that the name was Bai Ko. ”
"The surname is white, and the name is Ko." Gu Yun smiled and arched his hand.
"I heard that Gu Shizi is preparing to marry the old girl around him recently, which is a good thing to accumulate virtue, but Bai Ko is such a capable girl, she is used to using her hands, will she be willing to let her go in the future?"
"If she's a person who can let it go, maybe she'll release it one day, but fortunately it's a person who can't be released, so I don't have to worry about it, just use it with peace of mind."
As the chief eunuch in the palace, he understood Gu Yun's words as soon as he heard them, Bai Ko was an official maid, and he looked at her carefully, and finally had a bottom in his heart.
"Hehe, good, what a little girl, this cooking skill is good, the talent is amazing, remember not to slack off, always remember that there are people who can replace you."
"Thank you for the lesson of my father-in-law, the maid does not dare to slack off, and must be diligent in cooking and **** diligence." Bai Ko lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, docile and well-behaved.
Father-in-law Xi smiled kindly, said goodbye to Gu Yun, and returned to the throne to resume his life.
The two stood respectfully in place, watching Father-in-law Xi disappear into the crowd, Bai Ko quickly turned his head and glanced at Gu Yun, he had already looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and pretended to be innocent.
Now is not the time to desert, Bai Ko put on a mask and went out to take care of the barbecue, Gu Yun whistled and returned to his buddy, looking normal.
Bai Ko checked the quality of the meat, felt that it was almost hot, and then looked at Gu Yun who was standing aside waiting for the meat to eat, an idea immediately popped into her mind, and she walked over with a smile.
Gu Yun saw Bai Ko walking with crooked eyes, and inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart, pretending to stand in place calmly, watching Bai Ko take off his mask and smile obediently.
"Shizi, let's discuss?"
"What are you going to do?"
Bai Ko looked around, his gaze swept over the faces of Gu Yun and a group of boys, his smile was well-behaved, and the boys tensed their backs together for no reason.
"The servant wants a better reward, not a consolation prize."
Huang Bin pointed to the team that couldn't be counted on, "You definitely take the jackpot." ”
"This is not necessarily, the old chefs have not yet made their efforts, and the servants have to take the lead, and they can't be overtaken by them."
"And what do you want to do?"
"Please clean your hands and help divide the meat and pack it?"
"You're asking me to work?"
"Such a rare opportunity to meet the girl up close, isn't Shizi interested? You don't want to go to the house quietly, do you? ”
Gu Yun was so choked by Bai Ko's words that he hadn't replied, and the buddies on the side had already rolled up their sleeves.
"Where to wash your hands? We'll help you make sure they all say your barbecue is delicious! ”
