Early the next morning, Bai Ko got up and went to the kitchen warehouse, where it was almost the time when the sellers came to deliver the food, and Yan Bo took a long list of the day's ingredients to supervise and count on the side.

Yan Bo took the list of ingredients for the mash braised pork, read the main and auxiliary ingredients listed on it roughly, and promised Bai Ko to send her to Wenling Courtyard tomorrow.

Bai Ko thanked Uncle Yan, and immediately rushed back to Wenling Courtyard to make breakfast for the third young master, and before he ate, he put a new draft of the charter on his dining table, and the notes he made during the discussion with Uncle Yan the afternoon before yesterday finally turned into more complete and thoughtful content.

Gu Yun had breakfast, and when he went to say good morning to his parents, he gave the new draft to his mother.

Because the ice cellar has been cleaned up, there is no need to go over to guard the subordinates to do things, Bai Ko finally has a rare morning rest, but she is still not idle, after going to the miscellaneous yard to wash her clothes, she came back to practice boxing a few times, and then ran to the small school of the women's nursing home to find Aunt Wu and show her the results of her practice in the past few days.

Aunt Wu saw that Bai Ko had really practiced the moves diligently in the past few days, so she became interested and called a young sister-in-law under her command to practice with Bai Ko, while she stood on the side and pointed out the mistakes of the two.

After practicing several times, both of them were sweating profusely and panting, and Aunt Wu shouted to stop.

"Well, you two will be a partner in the future, Bai Ko is small and flexible, your second sister-in-law Bao is a new daughter-in-law who has been in the door for less than three months, both of them are novices, and there is no problem of who bullies whom."

Bai Ko and Bao's second sister-in-law looked at each other and smiled and nodded happily.

Seeing that the time of the morning was almost up, Bai Ko returned to Wenling Courtyard to change his clothes and went to the east kitchen.

As soon as she passed the door guarded by Aunt Nie, Bai Ko was pulled by her aunt and dragged into the house to tell her about the commotion that had taken place yesterday afternoon.

The movement caused by Mengmei yesterday was too big, and Aunt Nie was not deaf and heard a lot.

"Mengmei sued me? She actually has this face?! After hearing this, Bai Ko laughed angrily.

"I heard that those people who came home from suspension didn't keep their mouths shut, there have been rumors that she knows that she will be unlucky sooner or later, this is to pull the cushion back, don't be taken to the ditch by her."

"Auntie, don't worry, the maid won't let her succeed."

Bai Qiao thanked Aunt Nie and walked into the east kitchen courtyard calmly.

Everyone in the courtyard is talking about the menu of the filial piety banquet, and the eldest lady has sent someone to say that the menu proposed last time is not good, at least half of the dishes should be replaced from it, and let the acting manager Zeng Zhu think of a new one.

They are all cooks, and everyone knows in their hearts that this is the last chance, and if they can't come up with a menu that satisfies the masters, I'm afraid that everyone will have to get out of the house before the filial piety banquet.

It is precisely because of this matter that weighs on everyone's hearts like a mountain that not many people pay attention to Bai Ko when she comes in, except for Lu Doudou beckoning Bai Ko over, no one else greets her, even the stewards don't seem to see her, and the craftsmen are silently repairing the big oven, and they don't dare to interfere in the housework of the Guogong Mansion at all.

"What's going on?" Bai Ko looked around, and few people had a smile on their faces.

"It's not about the menu, the eldest lady rejected the menu last time, and asked Steward Zeng to draw up a new one, everyone is worried that if they don't get it right, they will be unlucky."

"There's no way, Wen Gushan has delayed too much time before, and there is not much time left for Steward Zeng, and the things that should be booked must be ordered next month."

"Bai Ko, you said it wouldn't really be messed up, would you?" Lu Doudou felt inexplicably uneasy.

Bai Ko glared at her, "Don't scare yourself. ”

Lu Doudou stuck out his tongue, didn't continue the topic, and started a different conversation, chatting about yesterday's commotion.

Because she had already learned from Aunt Nie first, Bai Ko was mentally prepared, and Lu Doudou would not have any emotions when she said it at this time, and looked at Mengmei, who was huddled in the crowd, with a sneer.

"Let her call if there is no evidence, I don't have time to play games with her, she can only hope that the law will not be held accountable if she wants to stay, to see if she has the ability to dig out more people who commit adultery with Wen Gushan."

"The third young master uses you very much? Can't you do without you? Lu Doudou suddenly smiled as a fox and shook his arm around with Bai Ko.

"I'm trying to get up here, you can help me keep an eye on the kitchen and don't let anyone hold me back."

"Mmmm, you don't have to worry about me." Lu Doudou patted Bai Ko boldly, and walked towards the cooks by the shoulders.

After the war-like lunch time was over, the girls in each room and courtyard took away the food boxes, and the cooks and cooks began to eat their lunch, Bai Ko took her rice bowl and walked to the shade in the corridor, only to bow her head and take a bite of rice, and then raised her head to see Zeng Zhu also walking over with her bowl, her eyes kept looking at herself.

Bai Ko silently swallowed the rice in her mouth, motioning for Lu Doudou and Hongsu Wanqiu to stay together, while she greeted Zeng Zhu and stood in the shadow a little farther away.

"What do you command?" Bai Ko smiled lightly, trying to make it look like small talk between the two.

"Bai Ko, I'm not Wen Gushan, I won't want to harm you behind my back, you tell me honestly, are you preparing a menu for the masters?" Compared with Bai Ko's relaxation, Zeng Zhu couldn't laugh at all.

"I asked the maid to make a braised pork to eat, but I didn't say that I wanted the maid to make the menu."

"You already have a poached tofu, and then you want to make braised pork, is this a trial dish?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Zeng Zhu was silent for a while, ate a few bites of food, and then raised his eyes to look at Bai Ko.

"In the morning, the eldest lady sent someone to say that she hoped that there would be some new dishes for the filial piety banquet, not necessarily new, but at least there should be some new ideas."

"Well, there's a problem?"

"After the death of the first prince, the house really kept filial piety for three years, a full thirty-six months, and we were all detained in the house for a long time and did not go on the street."

"Steward, like you who have families, can't you go home and stay for a few days in a month? What do you mean to be detained in the house? Isn't the steward an extra chance to hit the streets? ”

"Bai Ko, it's been almost four months since you came in as an apprentice, how many times have you seen our steward go down the street? I'm embarrassed to say it, in the past three years, the real pleasure of going to the street is to go to Yachifang to buy your batch of apprentices, and it took a few days in a row to buy twenty-four people back. ”

"Ah, I really didn't pay much attention to these details, and at that time, worrying about my ranking every day would occupy too much energy. Could it be that Wen Gushan deliberately detained you? ”

"From the beginning of Shouxiao, Wen Gushan asked the stewards to go home, but they had to make breakfast before they could leave, and then they had to rush back to make dinner, so that we could only go to the neighboring fang at the farthest, not too far away."

"Zeng is in charge, the servant understands what you mean, Wen Gushan, in the name of filial piety, has made you disconnected from the people for too long, and you don't know what is new in the market now. But what's the point of him? ”

"Of course, to ensure that he can continue to take over as kitchen manager in the next promotion competition."

"The next promotion competition will be next year, and the old man died three years ago, that is to say, he was using his brain after your last promotion competition, and then let him get such a great opportunity."

"This opportunity didn't fall from the sky suddenly, the old man has been on the sickbed for more than a year, so to be precise, after Wen Gushan kept his kitchen manager last time, he had already made up his mind to use filial piety to abolish the cooking skills of our stewards."

Bai Ko is not an ignorant girl like Lu Doudou, Zeng Zhu said it so clearly, she naturally immediately understood the meaning of her words, lowered her head and took a big mouthful of rice in her mouth.

"Menu, you can't write it."

There is food in his mouth, and Bai Ko's words are a little blurry.
