Chapter 140: I have to be busy for the death day again
The room was cold, the ice tray had been prepared a long time ago, and Bai Ko took a deep breath, feeling that his head was much clearer.
"Is the third young master still satisfied with today's banquet?"
"The female chef is as expected, the male chef is not very satisfied, the cooking arrangements you listed have not played much role in them, the reward of the two male stewards is only one-third of Zeng Zhu's, and the rewards of the other cooks and cooks, including the handymen, are not reduced as usual."
"Servant Xie, old lady Xie."
"You have done a great job today, and the extra reward for you is from my hands."
"Third Young Master Xie." Bai Ko smiled happily, feeling that the fatigue on his body was swept away, "It's time to prepare dinner in a while, what else does the third young master want to eat tonight?" ”
"No, I don't want to eat anything, I drank too much wine at the banquet, you can just make some porridge and side dishes, and I'll eat after dark."
"There is decanting soup in the kitchen, and the maid will bring it to you. The liver ability of young boys and girls of your age is still fragile, drink in moderation, do not get drunk, third young master, you are delicate and expensive now, it is better to be careful. ”
Gu Yun was speechless for a while, but before he could say something, Bai Qiao had already saluted and retired, and Meimei, who heard those words on the side, was frightened, and hurriedly waited for the young master to go back to the house to rest.
Bai Ko returned to the small kitchen and announced that everyone would drink porridge and eat barbecue tonight, and then asked someone to send the decanting soup that had been prepared to the upper room, and she herself went to the east kitchen to find some suitable ingredients, so that everyone could relax together in the evening.
Everyone was still busy in the east kitchen, and the masters all said that they could drink porridge at night, but they couldn't have side dishes with porridge, and Bai Ko told them that they would have a reward, so that everyone was happy, and then I heard her say that she would eat barbecue at night, and everyone picked two baskets of vegetables and meat for her, and sent them out happily.
The small kitchen has been cleaned up, the barbecue is not the first time to eat, the girls know how to deal with the ingredients, and they don't need Bai Ko to take care of it on the side, just urge her to go and have a good rest.
Bai Ko told them to sit in the pot and cook porridge at a good time, so they really went back to the house to sort out the next work with confidence.
Gu Yun drank the sobering soup and slept comfortably, and when he woke up, he sat down in the hall after washing, and Xiaoqian and Xiaojing served porridge and side dishes.
"What do you smell like?" Gu Yun suddenly sniffed and looked at the two girls standing across the table.
Xiao Qian and Xiao Jing looked at each other speechlessly, and honestly told the young master the truth.
"The servants were afraid that they would get the smell of barbecue charcoal, so Bai Ko came back with a lot of leftover ingredients from the East Kitchen."
Gu Yun was not happy when he heard it.
"I eat white porridge, you eat barbecue?!"
Xiao Qian and Xiao Jing hurriedly saluted, "Servants, let's go to the front and get some barbecue." ”
The two ran back to the front yard, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard the young master's temper at this turn, and hurriedly gathered the freshly roasted meat and miscellaneous vegetables into a deep dish and brought them to the room.
Gu Yun was satisfied with drinking porridge and eating side dishes.
The next morning, a basket of copper coins was carried to the east and west kitchens, the old lady and the old lady each rewarded, both of which were directly rewarded for a month, which means that everyone got two months of the month, everyone was elated, and the three stewards had another reward on this basis, but only Zeng Zhu got the full amount, Huang Dahai and Cui Lin only got one-third, because yesterday's male chefs' tables were really inferior to the kitchen girls, and this fault was naturally counted on the head of the steward.
Huang Dahai and Cui Lin had nothing to say, and repeatedly assured Pang's mother, who came to reward, that the next filial piety banquet would be the same.
After Pang's mother left, everyone was curious about how Bai Ko only got two rewards from the third-class cook, but no one dared to talk about it, as long as the money in his hand was not less, Bai Ko was afraid that the masters would have another reward.
Bai Ko didn't discuss this with them, and left after cooking lunch in a regular manner.
In the afternoon, Gu Yun went home from school, washed his hands and changed his face, and then asked people to call Bai Ko into the house, which was directly a silver ingot of ten taels of silver as a reward, and a heavy special pressure hand, and there was also a box of sterling silver head in the fashionable style of the capital, which looked like the kind that the ladies in the house wore every day.
"Don't wear the ones that the second lady rewarded anymore, it's not shameful enough."
Gu Yun disliked the second aunt's hand very much, he rewarded his maid's big road jewelry is also pure silver, and he has never used miscellaneous silver to coax people to play, rather than giving a set of miscellaneous silver jewelry as a heavy reward, it is better to reward a sterling silver thing.
"Servant thank the third young master for rewarding."
Bai Ko smiled and took the reward back to the house, and when she came out a moment later, she put on new cloves on her ears, which shone in the sun, and the girls said that they were even better than the ones she had worn before.
Meilun took a moment to find Bai Ko, to her account, in addition to ten taels of silver ingots, these sterling silver jewelry add up to more than ten taels, hairpin hairpin head flower clove bracelet ring a lot, good workmanship, belongs to high-quality road goods, specifically for the well-off and above class of customers, want good things, money is naturally spent.
Bai Ko obediently recorded this reward worth more than twenty taels of silver in the account book.
After the banquet, the house began to be busy for the filial piety banquet, and the next day after the filial piety, the lord was going to the official office of the Ministry of Rites to take office, and the family also wanted to celebrate a little, which was an additional task, but fortunately, this was a pure family banquet, and the preparation was relatively easy.
Early the next morning, after sending the third young master out of school, Bai Ko sent two boxes of snacks to everyone in the ice cellar to comfort their hard work.
The third woman and her daughter-in-law did not forget to show their loyalty to Bai Ko after accepting the food, and resolutely obeyed her orders, she pointed to the east and never to the west.
For the sake of cooking the family banquet, the eldest lady specially ordered the male chefs not to get started, but only to watch how the cooks worked on the side, and if they dared to make mistakes on the day of the death day, they would not be spared.
On the day of the family banquet, the male chefs obediently gave the kitchen ladies a hand in the kitchen to see how Zeng Zhu and Bai Ko shouted at their subordinates.
But this thing is like window paper, it is worthless if it is pierced, the chefs are excellent because they strictly obey orders and will not have any complaints about Zeng Zhu and Bai Ko's arrangement, and the male stewards are not so strong in binding on their male chefs, after all, the male chefs are cooperating in the east and west kitchens, and the command in the middle is a very delicate thing.
The next day after the celebration of the family banquet was placed, the house received a surprise, the second grandfather who had moved to settle in other places many years ago sent several cars of sacrifices, and there were also gifts for the eldest sister-in-law, the old lady and her nephews, all of which came from outside the Guanwai, rare and rare things in the capital, among which there was a complete bear skin, which was unfolded to be one person high.
The second grandfather was the only one of the three brothers who joined the army, and he couldn't get rid of his background and came back to worship his brother-in-law, so he had to send something to express his comfort.
