Chapter 296: Handsome Guy Has to Use It Like This
The handyman brought hot water and took the young masters to the back to wash their hands, and when they came back one by one, Bai Ko was already cutting the meat, and they immediately stood in front of the long table where the food was distributed, rolled the oiled paper into a tube, used food tongs to clip a few pieces of meat into it, and finally wrapped it, and handed it to the girl who received the barbecue with a smile.
The daughters came just to watch Gu Yun and other handsome guys, no one would stand under the shed and wait to receive the barbecue, which would be laughed at for the greedy girls.
But at this moment, Gu Yun and his buddies, a group of distinguished young masters stood there with a smile on their faces and distributed fragrant barbecue, where could the young ladies restrain their reserve, and they all threw off the girl and stepped forward by themselves on the grounds of unequal status, while taking the paper bag with both hands, while shyly reporting to their home, the boys only had to smile, it was enough to coax them to agree to stand here and help Gu Yun win.
Seeing that too many girls were stunned by Gu Yun's guys, they came forward to talk in the name of receiving barbecue, making them very tasteful, and complaining in their hearts about how the level of their cooks had declined, and they couldn't even compare to a little girl who participated in the roast whole sheep competition for the first time.
Also, Gu Yun's gang of guys are so hateful, they actually use beautiful men! It's so cheap! In order to win, it is simply unscrupulous! Lose the face of the powerful young master!
The counterattack for the supporters started so silently, some boys took away some of the girls with the help of their own sisters, some of their own cooks were happy to watch the excitement on the side without participating in this competition, and of course there were also Gu Yun who stood next to their cooks to help wrap meat, and also came to sell a beautiful man's trick, trying to attract some girls, and the already unformed team became a plate of scattered sand.
The bigwigs on the throne saw the chaos in their eyes, called the attendants to inquire about what was going on, and when they heard the report, they all laughed non-stop.
After some competition, there were still a lot of people in front of Gu Yun, not only girls, but also most of the boys who watched the excitement, and even some of the boys and girls who were pulled away ate a lap and ran back.
The old chefs who came every year, their cooking skills are honestly a little tired of eating, Bai Ko is a new face, the barbecue made is fresh, and the crowd gathers here mainly to get fresh.
What's more, you can see Gu Yun so closely.
There are not a few young and unmarried sons and grandchildren, but among the ten people on the top list of this year's autumn season, only Gu Yun is the son, or the third, and the top two are the children of scholarly disciples from other places, Gu Yun is equivalent to the first in the Beijing circle.
Of course, such a glittering young man has to look twice, who rarely looks at other people's old faces, not to mention that Bai Ko's skills are really not bad, there are delicious foods to eat, and handsome guys to see, this year's winter hunt is worth it!
Bai Ko cut the meat over and over again and roasted it over and over again, other people's barbecue is not as meticulous as her, and the people disperse after dividing the meat, and some of the bold cooks present the mutton to the front of the emperor are a large piece of mutton, and the men can still eat a few bites heroically, and the women don't touch a bite.
From the perspective of the throne, the flow of people in front of the barbecue shed belonging to the Yeguo Mansion seems to be no less, and the civil and military officials laugh constantly, and it is recognized that Bai Ko is the first name of this year's roast whole sheep, and her advantages are too obvious for anyone to compete with.
The saint immediately ordered to summon Bai Ko to receive the reward.
The attendant went to give the order, and the meat of the lamb was finally roasted to the last layer of bone, and when he heard the summons of the emperor, he suddenly panicked, his heart was like a drum, and his ears listened to the cheers and laughter of celebration around him, but he did not know what he should do next.
Gu Yun hurriedly instructed Lu Doudou and them to take Bai Ko to wash their hands and clean their faces, take off their clothes, and asked the male chefs to finish roasting the meat and finally close the stall, and then waited until Bai Ko cleaned up and came back, Gu Yun and the palace chief Ji accompanied her to the front of the palace and explained the etiquette rules when she faced the saint.
Although it was only the royal reward in front of the emperor, at most the tea time was withdrawn, but Gonggong Xi had already come to inquire once, and it was difficult to say whether the saint would say a few more words, so Gu Yun repeatedly told Bai Ko that no matter how nervous he was, he would faint again.
When they saw the soldiers of the forbidden army, Gu Yun and the palace chief stopped their tracks, and Bai Ko followed the herald attendants to the soldiers, and walked past them to the front of the seat.
Bai Ko kept in mind the reminder of Gu Yun and the palace chief, lowered his eyes slightly, did not look directly at the saint on the throne, maintained a low-eyed demeanor, stood in the place designated by the attendants, neatly arranged the corners of his robe, knelt on his knees neatly, leaned over and kowtowed three times Long live, and did not stand up until he was allowed to flatten his body.
From the throne came the light laughter of the queen mother.
"At a young age, there is a bit of proportion in demeanor, which is rare."
"Xie Niangniang's praise is wrong, my wife is well-trained."
"Listen, this is praising my own wife, it's so sweet to talk about." The queen's words caused the ladies below to chuckle along.
"The cooking skills are also quite old and spicy, far beyond the level of apprentices, and they are really amazingly talented." The queen continued, "Look up and see what you look like." ”
Bai Ko meekly tilted her face, her eyes still looking at the ground.
Most of the civil and military officials did not react after seeing Bai Ko's appearance, but some officials of the Ministry of Rites unconsciously made some small movements, feeling that Bai Ko's appearance was a bit kind.
The queen continued to smile and looked kind, "Well, she is really a beautiful girl, and when she grows up in a few years, I am afraid that she will be more beautiful." ”
Bai Ko only saluted and thanked him, and closed his mouth and didn't talk nonsense.
"Bai Ko, your talent is so outstanding, this palace is a little curious about what your family used to do?"
"If you go back to your mother, the maid's original family is also a cook."
"Oh? Since you are a family heirloom, this craft should not be able to support a family, how did you end up in a culinary workshop? ”
"If you go back to your mother's words, the maid is not sold to the school because of her poor family, but the maid is an official maid."
Bai Ko stood steadily, his voice was steady, and he indifferently confided his identity in front of the civil and military officials and their families.
People's eyes immediately swept to the Ye Guogong and his wife who were sitting firmly in place.
"Official?" Niangniang's tail note rose slightly, sounding a little surprised, "What happened at home?" ”
"Back to the mother's words, the maid didn't know that when there was an accident at home, the maid was only eight years old, so she was exempted from exile and was not an official maid."
"So, is your family committing a felony of exile? It's a shame. ”
The queen turned her eyes and looked in the direction of Ye Guogong and his wife.
"Mrs. Gu, it's rare to have an official maid in the cooking workshop, you are really lucky to buy such a good cook."
Duchess Ye Guo stood up and saluted the throne with a smile.
"Niangniang, it is lucky and inevitable that the courtiers can buy this girl Baikou. In the first half of the year, in order to add new chefs in the house, the stewards searched for a few days in the various cooking workshops in Yachifang, and people like us naturally only bought the most expensive ones, and more than 20 apprentices spent a few months in the house, and only a few people were left in the excellent selection, and Bai Ko was the best among the people left. ”
"Good enough for her to be your family's steward?"
"She has this level, so she will naturally be allowed to play, and talents are rare."
"Well, that's right, talents are rare, every qiē is this girl's own level, otherwise there would be no chance to stand in front of the emperor today to receive the reward." The queen adjusted her cuffs in a good manner, "I have always heard her name mentioned these days, and I have made a lot of interesting preparations for this winter hunt, if I have time in the afternoon, Mrs. Gu will bring her to sit in my tent." ”
"The courtiers obey the will of the mother."
