Chapter 124: Take care of the personnel in the ice cellar

Early the next morning, the people in the warehouse sent fresh ingredients to Wenling Courtyard, Bai Ko brought the list and letter to Yan Bo, Yan Bo directly sent people to buy the big cross street in the square, the capital as a megacity with a population of more than one million, there are shops to maintain daily life in each square, and they are opened on the central cross street that connects the four gates, in addition to the streets and alleys of large and small houses, only the merchants are allowed to sell along the street, and the two large markets located in the east and west of the city are more like comprehensive large-scale wholesale markets.

The beans should be soaked first, and the bean paste will be made tomorrow at the earliest.

In the afternoon, the little girl went to the ice cellar to get ice, the third woman and the daughter-in-law complained one after another, the three days stipulated by Bai Ko were up, and none of the straw bags taken by the seventh young master's girl were returned, and the amount of ice used by this fat young master was the largest, the girl came to take it several times a day, two bags of ice at a time, and the straw bags that disappeared under his name were exactly twenty.

The manual cost of twenty straw bags is twenty yuan, and the labor in the capital is not valuable, but the price is expensive, and a meat bun costs two yuan, which is ten meat buns.

Bai Ko silently wrote two notes, one for Uncle Yan and one for the third young master to hand over to the eldest lady.

Because strictly speaking, Uncle Yan is only the manager of the kitchen warehouse, and his superior is the general manager of all the warehouses in the mansion, and when he reports it level by level, it is better for Bai Ko to directly tell the third young master to know.

The third young master didn't run errands to deliver the message by himself, the sixth young master did it for him, and Gu Yun just got a reply from his parents when he routinely said good night after dinner.

The sixth young master delivered the letter early, so before dinner, when the old lady met in the old lady's room, the eldest lady had a private conversation with the third lady, and she didn't ask the concubine to express any attitude, but only said that these accounts would be recorded, and they would be directly deducted from the allocation to the third room next month.

The third lady was upset when she heard what was going on in the rich aunt's courtyard, and she was too lazy to argue with her subordinates for a few pennies, so she readily agreed that the eldest lady would deal with it like this.

With the eldest lady so arranged, Bai Ko knew what to do, and instructed the girls to soak the red beans in water, and then wrote a note to Yan Bo in the house, telling him that the matter was settled, and asking them to hand over the ingredients when the warehouse came to deliver the ingredients the next morning.

After sending the third young master out, the kitchen was busy, a big fire was lit under the stove, a large pot was put on the shelf, and the red beans that had been soaked overnight were poured into the pot with a piece of water to boil.

This is a very time-consuming and patient work, first to boil for a long time, keep stirring, at any time to remove the floating bean skin, after boiling for an hour or two, the bean skin is also finished, prepare a large basin spread two layers of gauze, even the soup with beans poured on the gauze to knead and squeeze and filter, until the gauze leaves a ball of red bean puree, and then change the wok to fry the remaining water in the bean paste.

This is the first time to make homemade red bean paste in the small kitchen, in order to make a good red bean paste at one time, Bai Ko and Zeng Zhu asked for leave, and stayed in the small kitchen from morning to afternoon, not even sleeping in the afternoon, the fried red bean paste left the amount of dim sum today, and the rest were packed in clean small cans and stored in the ice cellar.

Bean paste was originally a widely used pastry ingredient, but the third young master didn't eat desserts, and Bai Ko never made homemade bean paste for backup.

In fact, the red case kitchen could have asked for it directly from the East Kitchen, just like the red case kitchen has to boil soup and skin jelly every day, and the white case kitchen has to concentrate on making a few pots of red and white red and white red and white red bean paste every few days.

Bai Ko was tired and sweating profusely and did it himself, but also to teach the girls the complete steps, especially the four sisters who were about to release themselves, what they learned was earned.

Telling the girls to knead the dough, Bai Ko found a basket and went to the ice cellar with a few jars of red bean paste that was no longer hot.

Bai Ko went out early, when she arrived at the small courtyard, the girls who were holding ice packs for the young masters had not yet come, and the third woman and daughter-in-law saw her coming, so they hurriedly greeted her and prepared lanterns to accompany her down.

This is a new rule of the ice cellar, no matter who wants to go down to the ice cellar to put things, the daughter-in-law must send them in and out with a lantern, and it is also a supervision, saving people from messing with other people's things.

Bai Ko put the bean paste away, took four bags of ice and some lactose, and when she returned to the ground, she gave one to each of them.

"The matter of the Seventh Young Master has been reported, the ladies have their own proportions, so let's not worry about it, just make a daily record."

"Don't worry, Sister Coo, we all know it." The three daughters-in-law led their daughters-in-law to echo one after another.

"Also, don't talk about this to the outside world, after all, it's about the face of the masters, and it doesn't look good on anyone's face when it spreads."

"Understood, understood, we're not going to talk about it."

Seeing that everyone nodded, Bai Ko left with confidence.

But after walking out of the small courtyard of the ice cellar, Bai Ko took out a lactose from the ice pack and threw it into his mouth, with a small expression on his face waiting to watch the play, and walked away quickly.

Bai Ko didn't care if the third wife and her daughter-in-law would keep it a secret, she said this just a trap deliberately set up to find fault.

The new manpower approved by the eldest lady for the ice cellar is four people, and Pang's mother sent eight people, and it took three or four days, it is time to decide which half of them to eliminate, but they are all working honestly these days, and they can't find fault with the thorns, so it's better to simply take advantage of the weakness of human nature.

Everyone loves gossip.

Knowing the eldest lady's handling opinions, except for Meizumi and the third young master, even Xiaoqian and Xiaojing don't know, their sisters will definitely not say anything outside, and if they hear any rumors in two days, they will have a legitimate reason to get rid of them.

It's so nice to have power in your hands, and it's a little exciting to think about it.

After returning to Wenling Courtyard, Bai Ko rested for a while, waiting for the girls to prepare the dough, then she washed her hands and dressed her head neatly, made some chicken roasted fruit with bean paste, and the rest of the dough baked a stove of biscuits and a large pizza, the pizza was covered with fried chicken smoked meat and vegetables, but unfortunately there was no brushed cheese, and the flavor was a little worse.

As soon as the chicken roasted fruit was taken out of the oven, the girls shouted cutely, and there was no chocolate or cocoa powder, so Bai Ko had to use bean paste to point out the chicken's eyes and wing feathers on the roasted fruit, and put it on the plate to look like a fluffy little yellow chicken.

The roasted fruit was divided into two parts, one was brought to the hall and placed in front of the sixth young master, and the other was packed in a food box and sent to the second lady.

The sixth young master was holding the plate and screaming excitedly, he couldn't bite any of them, so he had to wrap them up and take them back to his room to see, so the girls had to laugh and go to the kitchen to get the food box and put the snacks up.

The big pizza made the brothers burp, and the sixth young master hugged his stomach and said that he couldn't eat dinner, and when he got up and was about to leave, he didn't forget to tell the girl to put the plate with sweet biscuits into the food box.

Gu Yun saw that his younger brother was becoming more and more worried, and called Meiqimei to ask them to find an opportunity to remind the girl next to their younger brother that watching the sixth young master eat snacks, don't grow into the seventh young master.

The girl next to the second lady hurriedly came over and handed a note to the third young master, the second lady's handwritten letter, the chicken fruit was loved by the two young ladies, and the taste was also very good, so it was decided, a hundred should be prepared on the morning of the ninth day of the fifth month.

Gu Yun gave the note to Bai Ko, he didn't worry about these things.

Bai Ko immediately decided to use the resources of the East Kitchen to accomplish this task.
