Chapter 79: Matchmakers Matter
The honey grilled chop is the third round of this afternoon's trial cooking, the oven does not have precise temperature control equipment, and the timing is not accurate, so the first two rounds of roasting are a little dissatisfied, cooked is cooked, that is, after a little heat, it is distributed to the girls to eat, but fortunately, this last round is finally completed under the nervous gaze of Bai Ko.
The pork ribs were handed over to the girls to do, Bai Ko picked up the paper and charcoal strips from the shelf, and quickly wrote down the experience of this dish, how the heat was, how the time, and how it was pickled, all written down on the paper in detail, so that it could be used for reference next time.
In the main hall, the two brothers killed half a plate of grilled ribs in the blink of an eye, taking advantage of this unfinished persuasion, the sixth young master ate two taels of fried noodles and a piece of oil cake, and the third young master ate the remaining eight taels of noodles alone, and looked at the oil cake with a full burp and couldn't get his mouth down, and rewarded the two girls beside the sixth young master.
Bai Ko made a total of one pound of fried noodles, put them in five bowls and served them on the table, let the two brothers divide it by themselves, and by the way, they continued to test how big the third young master's meal was.
When the sixth young master heard that there was a fried duck breast for dinner, he hummed twice with his brother, Gu Yun immediately surrendered with both hands, and welcomed him to continue to eat in the evening, but asked him to explain to the old grandmother why he was unwilling to accompany her old man to dine again.
Gu Chen ate and drank to his heart's content, first went back to Jicheng Hall to rest and review his homework, and his girls distributed the oil cakes they brought back to other girls to eat, but they didn't expect that the cold oil cakes were also delicious, and they could eat meat filling in every bite.
When the eldest lady heard the news relayed by Pang's mother, she learned that her eldest son actually ate eight taels of fried noodles, in addition to being stunned and afraid that her son would hold on, she was somewhat helpless and angry.
"Bai Ko has only been to Wenling Courtyard for a few days, Brother Yun'er's food has risen, and he has eaten too much meat, my poor son, we always thought that he was too picky eater, could it be that he was hungry before?" The eldest lady suddenly felt distressed and blamed herself for being too careless on weekdays.
"Madam, it's really a lucky thing to be able to buy Bai Ko in the house, I believe she will wait for the young master well."
"When the family finishes these important things now, they make time to tidy up the east kitchen, and let out all the stagnant cooking skills, which should be thanked for their hard work over the years."
Pang's mother silently remembered it in her heart, and when she was free, she copied it in one of her own notebooks, saving herself from remembering it in a few months, after all, she was already in her forties, and her memory was no longer as good as when she was young.
In the evening, the dinner in Wenling Courtyard, the plate of fried duck breast was unanimously praised by the brothers, no oil was put in the pot, the duck meat was directly put into the pot, and the fat in the duck skin was slowly fried out with low heat, and the duck meat was fried with this ready-made duck fat, so that the entrance was not greasy, and the duck skin was fried crispy, and the third young master was not so picky and ate it directly.
The two-color petal steamed dumplings as the staple food made the sixth young master not even want rice, and even his brother was scared when he ate a plate alone, for fear that he would break his stomach.
The sixth young master touched his stomach happily and washed his hands and got off the table, the brothers ate tea and rested for a while, and routinely went out to say good night to the elders.
When Gu Yun came back from a circle, he saw the iced tea that had been prepared and a plate of salty sesame cakes that he had eaten yesterday in the study.
In the kitchenette, everyone was busy eating barbecue and eating leftover vegetables from dinner.
Yesterday, the news of release was released, and at this time, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing were flushed under everyone's banter, and they couldn't stay anymore.
Naturally, what everyone talked about the most was their marriage, and what kind of family affair to choose.
Listening to the meaning of the young master's words, it seems that he is in charge, but when did the pampered young master understand this, who knows if he is reliable or not, the girls are joking, and they are really worried in their hearts.
Bai Ko calmly sprinkled spices on a few slices of shiitake mushrooms, listening to the girls' various nonsense, but suddenly had an inspiration.
"If Xiaoqian and Xiaojing only want to marry a family with food and clothing to the level of being well-off, there is a ready-made helper who can ask him to help keep an eye on it."
"Who, who?" The crowd gathered around curiously.
"You forgot? The new steward of the kitchen library, Uncle Yan, he has been a shopkeeper for many years, and he was invited back by the eldest master when he was old, he is not a slave in the house, the point is that he has enough connections. ”
"Ahh The girls suddenly screamed excitedly, and Xiaoqian and Xiaojing's faces turned even redder.
"However, wouldn't it be bad to rashly ask Uncle Yan for help? The main thing is that we don't know what the young master plans to do? It's just a matter of releasing the news. Aunt Su calmly poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
This extinguished the fire of enthusiasm that had just risen.
"What does the third young master think, ask him directly, what's the use of you guessing here." Bai Ko put the roasted shiitake mushrooms on a plate and took a slice to eat for herself.
"How can this be asked, how embarrassing." Xiao Qian and Xiao Jing stomped their feet with their hot faces.
"Tomorrow, the third young master will come home from school, take advantage of the opportunity to take a shower and change clothes, and let Sister Meilun or Sister Meihuan ask him, this is the best time of the day to tell him about this, otherwise he will not be able to say it when the sixth young master comes, and he will go out for a walk in the evening and come back to read a book, and there will be no chance to mention this matter again."
The girls thought that this was indeed the case, nodded again and again, and it was decided.
Early the next morning, the girls who got up early to work met each other, and Meimei learned that they were going to ask the young master about the details of the girls' marriage, and she couldn't help but blush, and her face did not fade when she entered the room and waited for the young master to wash up in the morning.
Time was tight in the morning, although Gu Yun could see that the girls were weird, but he didn't have time to ask in detail, so he completed his daily homework step by step, and went out to school after breakfast.
In the morning, everyone was busy with their own work, Bai Ko came back from training under Aunt Wu, and then rushed to the east kitchen after a short rest, but I didn't expect the atmosphere over there to be another kind of tension, the menu sent up yesterday, the old lady sent someone to say that he would try the dish at noon tomorrow, and make a table exactly the same, and the old lady and the old lady wanted to try it together.
The menu was made up by a group of cooks and maidens, but Wen Gushan was the only one in charge of tomorrow's food trial, and the others had to continue to cook lunch for the young lady and the aunts.
Lu Doudou chatted with Bai Ko and asked about the vegetarian banquet, Bai Ko replied that the old lady had not yet made a final decision, and was heard by Mengmei, so she twittered loudly and loudly, sneering at Bai Ko for presenting the menu, and didn't even get the opportunity to try the dishes.
The others laughed a few times in agreement and then lost their voices, and Bai Ko was even more lazy to pay attention to her, and the more she took care of such a slut, the more she became more and more energetic.
