Bai Ko nudged the courtyard door, and the courtyard door was not latched, and she went straight into the courtyard.

Zeng Zhu was sitting in the hall, sorting out the menu for the middle of September on paper, waiting for the time to come, when he heard the rattle of the courtyard door and looked up to ask.

"Who?"

"It's me, Bai Ko, who has been in charge."

Bai Ko closed the door of the courtyard and appeared outside the hall with a smile.

"Come in, come in, I'm arranging the menu, and you can help me with an idea."

"Do you want me to help with the menu? Let's joke about it. ”

Bai Ko laughed as he stepped into the room, pulled out a chair and sat down beside Zeng Zhu's hand.

"I haven't seen you write your daily menu since you became overseer, and since you're here today, I can't help you run away anymore."

Zeng Zhu put down his pen and pushed the already written menu to Bai Ko.

Bai Ko picked it up and looked at it, and didn't have a new idea, just rearranged the existing dishes on the menu, taking into account the tastes of each master.

"Oh, it's worthy of being a white overseer, it's really admirable."

Bai Ko pursed his lips and smiled, looking shy and well-behaved.

Zeng Zhu took the pen and paper into the bedroom and put it away, and brought hot tea and snacks to Bai Ko.

"You came to me so early and saw the note you handed me yesterday, right?"

"Yes, at first glance, it is the handwriting of the former steward, so don't you hurry over."

"You weren't there yesterday, so I don't know, the four of them praised their relationship with you, and others listened to it with relish, but I felt as if there was a problem."

"There is a problem, my relationship with them, you can think in the opposite direction, how exaggerated they are, how bad the actual situation is."

"They praise you for going up to heaven, but in fact you are in the mud?"

"Pretty much."

Zeng Zhu's face became a little stiff, he picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth and didn't drink it, after staying for a while, he seemed to have figured it out, put down the teacup and looked at Bai Ko's eyes and said.

"The second lady has found someone to give me guò anger, let me train them some new dishes that are not available in the school, so that I will not be embarrassed to go out with the ladies in the future."

"Actually, it means that I used to make a specialty dish, right?"

"I am the second lady's companion, I will be her person until I die, I can't betray her."

"I know, so I don't mean to embarrass you, but I just want you to remember a rule that the servants in each room are not allowed to serve as errands. You and Wen Gushan actually made an exception for you to participate in the promotion competition, and he has been driven away for health reasons, so do you want to continue to take the monthly example of the manager, or take the ordinary cook's? ”

didn't expect Bai Ko to speak so directly, Zeng Zhu's face turned pale, took a deep breath, and was silent again.

"Bai Ko, is your relationship with those four really so bad?"

"With them, without me, it's as simple as that. If the second lady buys someone from another shop, or buys me from another senior sister, I can turn a blind eye to what she wants you to teach me to do, but the four of them are absolutely not. ”

"Then go back to the second lady directly and explain your relationship with them!"

"Am I not stupid? What if the second lady makes it clear that she wants my private recipe on the condition of changing people? Do I give or not? If I end up causing a rift between the wives, wouldn't it be my bad luck in the end?! ”

"Bai Ko, to tell the truth, the second lady bought a cook because she wanted to marry the two young ladies in the future, and the third lady's marriage has not been settled so far, and the second lady's hair is gray."

"The house has been filial piety for three years, and the two young ladies have never honed their cooking skills, and now they are in a hurry to get into the house, blame me for not cooperating?"

"Bai Ko, I didn't mean that!"

"That's the rule in the house, the servants of each house are not allowed to concurrently serve as errands in the public middle school, you have to think about what to do yourself. The East Kitchen belongs to the public high school, and I am still a member of the public high school, so I am happy to share the private recipes with you. However, the reason is laid out, the person who the second lady bought is the private servant of the second room, and to me is an outsider, why should I teach the capital of my life to outsiders? ”

"The second lady just hopes that her daughters can find a good in-law, and she has no malicious intentions."

"Wouldn't they buy a few cookbooks and let their cooks cook them one by one? Since the east kitchen is going to train the newcomers on their behalf, I will lend them the small stove room, remember to tell them to clean up when they are finished, and don't provoke me to get angry and kick them out. ”

"I know, I'll build yì to the second lady."

Of course, Zeng Zhu didn't want to lose his identity as a manager and the monthly routine of the manager, and he couldn't force Bai Ko to compromise with the second lady after learning the truth about the past, the only thing he could do was to persuade the second lady not to stare at Bai Ko, it was really better to buy a few recipes by yourself to practice the practice, it was common for the ladies to memorize the recipes and ask the girls to do it, and it was extremely rare for Tong Mingli and Ye Junting to do it themselves.

"I came here for this matter, I was in charge, I didn't want you to be embarrassed, after all, I don't come to the East Kitchen every day now, and I can't care about you if you secretly teach other people's recipes, but the four of them definitely touch my bottom line, if I give in here, I'm sorry for the hardships I have endured under them over the years!"

"Don't worry, I'll think of a compromise, there must be a way to balance the two sides."

"Then I won't bother Zeng, I'll go talk to Doudou, I heard that they were harassed yesterday."

"The four of them are indeed very interested in Doudou and them, I think someone should have reminded them behind their backs."

Bai Ko nodded slightly, got up and said goodbye and left.

In the courtyard of the third-class cook, Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian were not there, they took today's leave a few days earlier, and went to the street together, Lu Doudou and the three girls washed their clothes, sat in the courtyard to drink water and chat in the sun, and heard the sound of someone knocking on the courtyard door, Wanqiu got up to answer the door, and happily welcomed Bai Xin in.

"Hey, the white butler is here, we're talking about you, sit down, sit down."

Lu Doudou stood up with a smile, went back to his house and took a clean teacup, poured a glass of water for Bai Ko, and went to move a pestle.

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing today." Bai Ko took the teacup and sat down.

"Is it because of the second lady's new chef? They took the initiative to talk to us yesterday, but they were enthusiastic. Wanqiu said briskly.

"Just listen to what they say, and they will brag about it, and their cooking skills are not very good."

"Uh, questions?" The three girls looked at each other and cheered up 120,000 points.

"Those four people, who is the senior sister and who is the senior sister, have you all figured it out?"

Bai Ko took a sip of water, took the cup in his hand, and his gaze wandered over the faces of the three of them.
