Bai Ko turned around and opened the spice cabinet, took out dozens of bottles and cans inside and put them on the long table, opened the lids one by one to smell and taste.

After such careful selection and screening, she really picked out a third of the seasonings that she thought were not good, and put the rest back in the cabinet according to her sorting habits.

"Return these to the treasury and let them buy them again, some of them are broken, and they dare to take them out and put them in the third young master's kitchen."

"What!?" Not to mention beautiful, the girls and ladies standing outside the door were stunned, and they rushed into the kitchen together and craned their necks around the table to look.

"The ones I picked out were all faulty, the quality was not good, and the smell and taste were not pure enough." Bai Ko picked one out of the pile of jars and opened the lid for everyone to smell.

"This yellow hairball is bad."

Bai Ko fanned the mouth of the can with his hand, allowing the smell inside to escape more quickly.

Everyone sniffed vigorously and found that it was a very strong fragrance.

"This smell is very fragrant, where is it bad?"

"Yellow hairballs are a new spice from overseas in recent years, at first the crew used to burn fish to eat, to remove the smell and increase the fragrance, the processed yellow hairballs look like bulb tea, and the dry high-grade products only have a faint floral fragrance, and now such a strong smell indicates that it has been strictly damp, and you smell carefully, you can smell a musty smell."

The jar of the yellow hairball was passed in everyone's hands, and everyone sniffed it carefully for a while, and the musty smell hidden under the rich fragrance was not easy to distinguish, but fortunately, there were many people in the kitchen now, and there were still a few people with a keen sense of smell who smelled it and showed a disgusting expression.

Bai Ko picked up another jar and opened it, pouring some of the yellow and black powder inside onto the lid.

"This has a slight burnt taste, the masters did not grasp the heat when frying, in order not to waste so they grind into powder, according to a certain proportion of some first-class products into the second-class products to sell, this is allowed, most of the price is more sensitive to the ordinary people to buy home to eat, or like our Guogong Mansion to buy back for the next person to cook. But in any case, this grade of spice is not for the masters, and the people who buy and manage the warehouse should not make such low-level mistakes. ”

"The people who buy are under the treasury, either they buy shoddy, or the treasury secretly exchanges the second class for the first class, and fills their own pockets. All in all, it's all about the storeroom! Meilun frowned and looked angry.

"In the blue sky and white days, the treasury has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he dares to do things for his grandson!" Meihuan was three years younger than her sister, so she couldn't hold her breath and couldn't help but slap the table and scold.

"I don't dare to make a presumptuous assertion, the two sisters turned around and reminded the young master, I believe that the eldest lady has her own decision."

"Okay." Meilun nodded, glancing at the girls on the side.

The girls and mother-in-law hurriedly waved their hands and left the kitchen.

"The people of Wenling Courtyard will not chew the root of their tongues to outsiders, this matter will be handed over to the eldest lady to deal with, and you can just say what else you need in the kitchen." Meilun was more polite to Bai Ko, and was even a little happy that the young master chose her to be the chef.

"Okay." Bai Ko closed all the open jars, "Then I'll go back to the East Kitchen now and bring the ingredients for dinner and supper." ”

"Wait a minute, I forgot to give you a waist card."

Without her sister's signal, Meihuan immediately went to Meilun's bedroom to get a small waist card with silk spikes and came back.

"This waist card can help you walk in the inner house and don't lose it."

Bai Ko took the waist card with both hands, small and delicate like an ornament, only half a palm the size, one side was engraved with the first two words, and the other side was engraved with the three words of Wenling Yuan, and the handwriting looked like it was newly engraved.

The clothes he was wearing were not suitable for hanging waist cards at all, so Bai Ko wrapped the silk spike around his wrist a few times, and thanked the beautiful sisters again before leaving.

Mei Lunmu sent her away, and told Mei Huan to bring two trays, put the spice jar on the table on the tray, and send it to the young master's main room, wanting to wait for him to wake up before he said.

As a result, before the things were put down, the sisters heard the sound of the blue yarn cabinet opening, and when they turned their heads, the third young master walked out neatly dressed.

"Young master, you didn't sleep?" Beautiful, a little surprised.

"Where can you sleep when you hear you yelling in the front yard?"

"It's us arguing with the young master. But there is a reason. ”

"There's a chef here, and you're overjoyed when you think you can get some light?" Gu Yun said casually as a joke.

The beautiful sisters shook their heads sternly.

Gu Yun immediately suppressed the smile on his face, "What's the matter?" ”

Meilun pointed to the two trays on the table, "This is the seasoning that Bai Ko picked out just now, these are all problematic, some are not of good quality, and some are deteriorating due to moisture." ”

Gu Yun's face darkened.

"Is it to buy shoddy accounts, or is the warehouse stealing beams and pillars and keeping it unfavorably?"

Meihuan grabbed the yellow hairball jar and handed it to her sister, and Meilun opened the lid to show the young master.

"Bai Ko said that the dry yellow hair balls should only have a faint floral fragrance, such a strong fragrance indicates that it is damp, and there is a little musty smell under the fragrance, and several girls have smelled it."

Gu Yun's jaw muscles tensed up visibly for a moment before they relaxed, "What about the other cans?" ”

"Only the yellow hairballs are deteriorated by moisture, and the rest are shoddy." Meilun picked up the can of yellow and black powder seasoning that Bai Ko showed earlier, "This is a little burnt, it should be a second-class product, and it shouldn't be for the masters, so I don't know if it's a purchase or a problem with the tube warehouse for the time being." ”

"Where's the White Prince?"

"She went back to the east kitchen to get the ingredients for dinner and supper for the young master, and she will be back in a while."

"She's slipping away fast."

"If the young master has something to ask, it's not too late to ask when she comes back."

"Forget it, she figured out the problem, and the rest is none of her business. Go, ask Pang's mother to come over. ”

"Yes, young master."

Mei Huan responded and left immediately.

In less than a stick of incense, Pang's mother followed Meihuan over, when Meihuan was on the eldest lady's side, Meihuan only said that the young master had something to invite, and then she entered the house and saw the seasoning jar, Pang's mother knew what was going on, and she was suddenly angry.

"It's the other way around, dare to fill your own pockets with shoddy products! If it weren't for the young master's new kitchen, he wouldn't have found out that there was such a bad thing! It actually fell to the master's head! ”

"Mother Pang, this matter will be handled by my mother, I don't care about the result, as long as I add a new one to my small kitchen in time."

"Young master, don't worry, the gang of people in the treasury just take this opportunity to rectify it, lest they eat too much oil and water and forget who is in charge of the house. The old man went back to his wife, and asked the young master to borrow two girls to help. ”

The two of them picked up the tray and sent Pang's mother out, and when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they called two little girls, found two big handkerchiefs to cover the tray, and then held the tray for Pang's mother to the eldest lady.

Pang's mother hurriedly went back to see the eldest lady, and on the east kitchen, Bai Ko had already saluted Mr. Wen and the stewards, but at this time, everyone was busy making afternoon snacks for the masters, and no one came to watch Bai Ko.

Wen Gushan didn't ask Bai Ko to wash his hands and go to work, since the third young master was at home, the chef naturally had to be by his side, so he let Bai Ko take care of herself, and sent her back to the courtyard of the third-class kitchen to tidy up the housekeeping, and then come to get the young master's share of ingredients when the kitchen was busy.

Lu Doudou excitedly shouted to Bai Ko where her new room was, and Bai Ko responded with a smile and walked through the corner door.
