Chapter 10: The Haunting Brother

The kitchen had dinner one after another, the cooks and apprentices still had food, and the handymen ate the servant's meal from the western kitchen, which was specially designed to cook for the subordinates.

The apprentices cleaned up the two kitchens, the boys used up all the ingredients in the red kitchen, and the girls occupied the white kitchen and resolutely refused to back down, so they had to give up the plan to practice pastry and go to the yard to wash the dishes with the handymen.

But there are more than a dozen girls in a kitchen, all of whom are making pastries, and there will still be some contradictions, Bai Ko doesn't want to listen to the girls scolding and scolding, she also goes to the yard to get a big broom and start cleaning up the garbage all over the floor.

The girls use ingredients in a bit of proportion, the amount of each person is not much, and the amount of food they make is only enough for one or two people, share it with each other, and there will be no more bites, and there is nothing to waste at all.

After the kitchen was cleaned again, and the yard was tidy and tidy, it was almost time to prepare for supper, and after a short rest, Wen Gushan and the stewards came back to make supper for the masters.

Supper is simple, nothing more than some tonics, the girls come on time to get it, it doesn't matter if the masters eat it or not, but there must be something, even if it has been kept warm on the small stove in the pantry, in case the masters want to take a sip.

After this round, today's work is over, everyone went back to their respective yards one after another to prepare for sleep, Bai Ko stayed alone, cleaned up the kitchen, and then took some flour and began to practice pastry skills.

"Bai Ko, you really want to practice secretly alone." Lu Doudou's voice suddenly came from the door, and her face appeared in front of Bai Ko's eyes.

"Mr. Wen didn't say that he couldn't stay alone." Bai Ko chuckled and continued to knead the dough in his hands.

"You're not sleepy, aren't you?"

"Sleepy, but the night is long, there is no one around, I am the only one in the kitchen, why should I go to sleep?"

"Poof! You can really say that! Lu Doudou pouted at the dough, "What are you going to do?" ”

"When you're hungry, make some noodles to eat."

Lu Doudou touched his stomach, "It seems that I'm a little hungry again." ”

Bai Ko looked down at the size of the dough in his hand, "Fortunately, I grabbed a few more handfuls of noodles." ”

"Can you divide a third part?" Outside the door, there was suddenly a young man's voice in the voice-changing period, with ridicule in his tone, but it scared Bai Ko and Lu Doudou so much that they almost jumped.

"Who!?" Bai Ko picked up the rolling pin in his hand, and Huo Ran turned around and drank lowly.

Lu Doudou covered his mouth with his hands, leaned against the long table and shivered, and involuntarily recalled the terrible memory of almost falling into the well during the day.

A teenager leaned against the door frame, arms folded, the taut sleeves of his shirt showing hidden muscular strength, and his eyes were attentive, and the glint in his eyes could be seen in the dim candlelight of the kitchen.

Seeing who was so mischievous, Bai Ko put down his rolling pin and gasped.

"Little brother, it's a big night, people are scary and they will scare people to death."

"Hmm, I'm sorry, I just came hungry and got something to eat."

"Don't you have to serve the eldest master?"

"At this time, the eldest lord has the eldest lady and the girls to serve."

The boy said as he stepped into the kitchen, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a dough on the board that had not yet taken shape, and he pouted in disappointment.

"Go, go, don't stand at the door, stand at the end of the long table, in case someone comes over and sees a strange man there, something has to happen." Like a duck, Bai Ko waved a rolling pin and pushed the other party aside.

But when she turned around and wanted to put down the rolling pin, she couldn't help but let out an "ah-oh" when she saw Lu Doudou's frightened appearance.

The young master also noticed that Lu Doudou seemed to be in a bad situation, and raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't this apprentice a little bold?"

"The maid's hands are dirty, you help me slap her twice and bring her soul back." Bai Ko finally remembered the self-name that should be used in front of this young man.

"Well, it's so easy to be frightened, you have to think about whether to remove her from the list." The boy walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and was ready to move.

"Don't! This is almost scared by someone deliberately crashing into a well during the day! ”

"Huh? The conflict between your apprentices is already so deep? The young man looked surprised.

White Ko glanced warily out the door.

"There was no one outside, so when I came in, I turned around first and went back to sleep."

"When I was talking to you this afternoon, I was heard saying that we were talking to a man."

The boy rolled his eyes and smiled.

"I guess I wasn't found?"

"As far as the front and back feet are concerned, if you take a step or two slower, you will be seen."

"And you seized on this point, resolutely refused to admit the private man, and presumably fought back. The other party is unwilling, so deliberately make it bad? ”

"yes."

"Tsk, there was so much excitement in the kitchen, I didn't look at it."

"Huh!?"

The young man didn't say anything more, pinched Lu Doudou's sleeve with his left hand and tore off her hand, his right hand was raised high, crackling, and four crisp mouths back and forth.

Bai Ko once again confirmed that this guy must be practicing martial arts, and his strength was too measured, and Lu Doudou's face was only red, but not swollen.

Lu Doudou was woken up by these four slaps, and he didn't know if it hurt, so he shrunk his shoulders and cried.

"I'm going to cry outside, it's annoying."

This young man was not as kind to Lu Doudou as he was to Bai Ko, frowned, and scolded in a low voice.

Lu Doudou wiped his tears and really went outside the kitchen to cry.

Bai Ko silently scooped a few more spoonfuls of flour and added it to the dough, adding water and kneading it into a large dough.

The boy moved the candlestick on the long table, then walked to the top of the table, dragged out the high stool underneath and sat down, hiding himself in the shadows of the candlelight, but he could clearly see every movement of the white carda.

If someone were standing outside the kitchen door, they would only see the crying Lu Doudou and the white crump kneading the dough, but not the young man.

Bai Ko kneaded the dough and put it aside for the time being, she went to the ingredient rack to see what side dishes there were, and after looking for a long time, she only found a few wilted shallots.

"I'll go, it's clean enough, there's no vegetables left."

Bai Ko muttered softly, and prepared to go to the courtyard to wash green onions.

"I'll do it."

Lu Doudou wiped away his tears and walked in, without saying a word, took the green onion in Bai Ko's hand and went to the well.
