After lunch, Bai Ko went back to Wenling Courtyard, and when she went to the small kitchen to get water to drink, she was told by the girls that the eldest lady had sent someone to pass the word, and she would write the menu for the filial piety banquet.

Aunt Su took a list to Bai Kom, which listed a few ingredients that must be used for the banquet, and then the number of cold dishes, seasonal vegetables, and other dishes, and at the end, even the flavors were written, salty and fresh, crispy, sweet and sour, all kinds of different, and the menu had to meet these restrictions.

In Bai Ko's view, in fact, this kind of menu that lists the conditions is easy to write, just like a proposition composition, the conditions are a box, just put it in.

Bai Ko put away the list, checked the cooled pork belly, and told the girls to help her calculate the time, because the meat will be steamed for two hours, so it must be matched with dinner time, not too early and not too late.

After explaining clearly, Bai Ko went back to her room to take a nap, and when she woke up, she started to write the menu, and wrote it all before she went to the kitchen to steam meat.

In the afternoon, when the young masters came home from school and finished their snacks, the sixth young master took the menu back and handed it over to his mother.

When it was time for dinner, the eldest lady brought the menu to the old lady, and Bai Ko pinched the time and finally cooked the mashed braised pork to be served along with the dinner brought back from the east kitchen.

The sugar color made of rock sugar is shiny, the sake lees solve the greasy problem of big fat meat very well, and also adds a special sweet fragrance, and the meat skin is soft and glutinous, so that the old lady who loves to eat braised pork can't stop, and finally eats something else under the persuasion of the children, and the three masters divided the remaining braised pork piece, and the ladies and the sixth young master only tasted one or two pieces.

After eating, the table was withdrawn, and the old lady asked the eldest lady to order, ask Bai Ko to prepare, don't try the dishes alone, and make a whole table according to her menu in a few days.

In such a hurry, firstly, there is indeed not much time for people to entangle what to eat at the banquet, and secondly, everyone knows Bai Ko's cooking skills, and there is no need to try left and right.

The eldest lady took the instructions, went back to Jicheng with her husband, and told him when her son came to say goodnight.

Tonight's braised pork and white cardamom only made one serving, Gu Yun didn't eat it, anyway, he was not interested in this, but seeing that his parents, grandmother and younger brother all said it was delicious, he was naturally happy on his face.

After returning to Wenling Courtyard, Gu Yun called Bai Ko to convey his mother's instructions, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he had indeed handed over the qualification of the chef of the filial piety banquet to Bai Ko.

"On the day of filial piety, it was not only about eating and drinking, but also wasting too much time in front of Wengu Mountain, which should have been busy with other things from the beginning of next month, but the menu has not been decided until now. Now that the errand is officially handed over to you, you can only make a list of what you want to buy, but we don't want to hear any more bad news. ”

"The maid understands, please rest assured that the third young master."

"You are young, those old chefs are definitely not convinced that you have obtained the qualification of chef, if Zeng Zhu can help you, if you have any problems, look for her, if she can't convince the public, I will give you a head."

"Third Young Master Xie, but it shouldn't be so bad, if someone deliberately drags them back, they will be sold to the mine."

"You spread the word?"

"It's just that she told Sù that she was in charge of a person, she knows more about the old chefs, and the maid will not be involved, so she won't have to gossip."

Gu Yun nodded, as long as the east kitchen could restore order, he didn't care too much about what methods the stewards used.

"Third Young Master, will you only make one table for this trial, or will you make a few more tables?" Bai Ko has something to say.

Gu Yun rolled his eyes, "Do you have any new opinions?" ”

"Make at least two tables, you can't leave the male chef alone, you have to teach them how to make the dishes on the menu." This is the first time that the maid led the cooks to do it, and the male chefs watched from the sidelines, and the second time they let them go to the western kitchen to do it, so they should have a field drill by the way. ”

"Yes, it's not like the female guests are happy to eat, but the male guests don't know what to eat. Write down any plans you have in detail, don't think about coming out one by one, and there is no time to toss and turn back and forth. ”

"Yes, Third Young Master, the maid will go down to do things." Bai Ko's eyes were shining, and he bowed and retreated.

Seeing Bai Ko's confident appearance, Gu Yun was originally a little worried that she couldn't stand such a heavy errand at a young age, but now it seems that she can look forward to her appearance.

Bai Ko first went to the small kitchen to arrange supper, and then returned to the room to write various lists, and the next morning sent the third young master out to school, Bai Ko took the list of ingredients to find Yan Bo, and then went to the women's nursing home to find Bao's second sister-in-law to practice kung fu.

The morning's work was done one by one, and when it was time to go to work in the east kitchen, Bai Ko brought the menu with her, and she had written a few more copies last night.

Maybe it's because of the errand on his body, Bai Ko's pace is different from usual, especially male and high-spirited, walking with his head up and chest up, and Aunt Nie, who is sweeping the floor by the path, holds a broom and looks at Bai Ko's back and smiles.

As soon as Bai Ko entered the compound, he saw the handymen doing a big cleaning, it turned out that the oven had been repaired, and many people were chatting outside the oven room.

Zeng Zhu led the steward out of the pantry to assign errands to everyone, and Bai Ko walked over directly and gave her the menu.

"Steward Zeng, this is a new menu, the masters want to try the dishes, and the list of ingredients has been given to Uncle Yan."

"Who's the chef?" Zeng Zhu took the menu and was not in a hurry to look at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The maid is the chef on the maid's side, and the maid is in charge of the first time to try the dishes, and the male chef is watching, and then they redo it again in the western kitchen."

"The masters agreed?"

"These things are all in charge of the servants, and the masters have no time to waste on the banquet, and they can't drag it out any longer, and those who drag their feet and mischief will all go back and settle accounts and sell them to the mines."

Bai Ko talked to Zeng Zhu without squinting, ignoring the changing faces of the other three stewards on the side, and the cooks and ladies next to him saw them talking, and unconsciously gathered around, just in time to hear the last half of the sentence.

"Sell to the mines!?"

"Isn't it! Really fake!? ”

"Whether it's true or not, people who don't believe it can challenge it." Bai Ko finally turned his head and looked at the cooks and smiled.

"I still don't believe it! We are all old chefs for many years, how can the masters give such orders! This will chill people's hearts! ”

"That's it! It is! ”

There was opposition, and it was immediately echoed.

Bai Ko patiently waited for them to gradually reduce their voices before nodding unhurriedly.

"Everyone's mood is understandable, but the blame for this matter can only be blamed on the former manager of Wengu Mountain, he delayed too much time, thinking that on the third anniversary of his death, there was only one thing in the house to have a filial piety banquet? Isn't the sacrifice of the ancestral hall a serious matter? How can the masters have time to accompany the kitchen to play games over and over again? ”

The excited cooks suddenly fell silent as if they had been splashed with ice water, looking at each other speechlessly.
