Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

The next day, Zhou Xinyue returned to the kitchen with a nervous heart.

Seeing that there seemed to be nothing special, everyone was busy with their own things, and no one was talking about themselves, Zhou Xinyue quietly put her mind at ease.

Zhou Xinyue was also busy with her own things and didn't say anything.

She buried her head in work. Fanxing felt that her sister was different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different, but she just felt that she was different.

Liu Si Niang, on the other hand, kept talking and laughing with Wang Dabao who was not far behind her, and was very happy.

It seems like no one pays attention to Zhou Xinyue.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

After a while, a maid followed by two other maids walked up to Zhou Xinyue and put down a bowl of iced sour plum soup.

The maid said respectfully, "My lady, the weather is hot. A cup of iced sour plum soup can cool your lungs. Please enjoy it."

Another maid brought another basin of ice.

The maid said gently, "This is thousand-year-old iron ice. Put it here, young lady, it can cool you down and give you a bit of coolness in the hot kitchen. I'll take my leave!"

After saying this, the girls left the kitchen.

Everyone was very surprised. One chef said, "Ms. Zhou, you are really amazing. This thousand-year-old iron ice is only for the royal family. How could you be so generous as to ask the City Lord's Mansion to give you, a cook, thousand-year-old iron ice? It's incredible."

Another chef laughed and said, "This thousand-year iron ice is not an ordinary thing. Even if you put a small piece in the room, it will lower the temperature in the room after a while. This thousand-year iron ice is really a good thing. I didn't expect the city lord to send a basin of it. It shows that my lady, you are valued by the city lord."

Zhou Xinyue smiled bitterly and used a bowl to scoop a bowl of iced sour plum soup for every chef in the kitchen.

Everyone was very grateful.

Cooking in the kitchen is sweaty enough, and when I feel thirsty, I can have a bowl of iced sour plum soup, which is such a happy feeling.

A chef sighed and said, "My dear, I feel so happy to be able to drink this bowl of iced sour plum soup. It's so cool and comfortable."

Others said: "Didn't you notice? The kitchen doesn't seem to be as hot as before. It seems the temperature is not that high. It seems to be a lot cooler."

Another person said, "Didn't someone just say that even if we put a small piece of thousand-year-old iron ice here, it can quickly reduce the temperature. You see, the effect is coming now, and this is all thanks to Madam Zhou."

Everyone thanked Zhou Xinyue again.

Zhou Xinyue smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, please stop tormenting me. The city lord is just thanking you for your hard work. So everyone, thank the city lord."

Everyone laughed a few times and said, "We are just rough people. We only know whoever handed us this bowl of sour plum soup, we will thank him. We don't think too much. Hahaha!"

Zhou Xinyue stopped talking and fell into deep thought as she looked at the ice.

Everyone took a break and, in the cold weather, became more motivated to work.

Before they knew it, it was afternoon, and the maid came again. Behind her was another maid, and she took a vest covered with small beads from the maid behind her.

"Hello, my lady. This is the Ice Pearl Shirt. I am sending it to you on the orders of the city lord. Please put it on."

Zhou Xinyue took a look at this thing. From a modern perspective, it looked a bit like glass beads.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord. I appreciate it. I can accept the food, but I'm afraid I dare not accept such a valuable item. Please return it."

The maid smiled and said, "The city lord has given an order, please accept it, madam, and don't embarrass us."

"This gift is too precious. I, a commoner, cannot afford it."

As the maid was speaking, she took out two daggers from somewhere.

Zhou Xinyue was so scared that her face turned pale. He suddenly remembered that in the City Lord's Mansion, they all had a habit of hurting themselves at any time.

"Hey, what are you two going to do?"

"My lady is unwilling to accept it, which only means that we are useless. Useless people cannot live in the world, so they must..."

Before the maid could finish her words, Zhou Xinyue interrupted and said, "What do you mean by this? Are you using this method to force others? It's really annoying that you always do this."

"Please accept it, ma'am."

The two maids looked at Zhou Xinyue with sincere eyes again, forcing Zhou Xinyue to accept it.

"Alright, alright, I thank the city lord for his generous gift. Thank him for me."

After saying this, the two maids were very happy and came over to help Zhou Xinyue put it on.

Zhou Xinyue said helplessly: "Wear it now?"

"I dare not disobey the city lord's order."

After a while, the two maids put the thing on Zhou Xinyue.

You know what, this thing is really good. As soon as I put it on, I felt the temperature around me dropped to more than ten degrees instantly, and I didn't feel any discomfort at all.

On the contrary, my whole body felt comfortable. I didn't feel any heat at all. It was cool and comfortable.

Zhou Xinyue was extremely shocked. The two maids bowed and left.

After the two maids left, Liu Si Niang finally dared to speak.

"Just accept whatever the city lord gives you. This is also a good intention of the city lord."

A chef who didn't understand asked, "Madam Zhou, what is this?"

Zhou Xinyue didn't dare to say anything, so she could only say: "I don't understand either. I just think it's very strange."

Some people said, "No matter what, you saved the lives of these two maids."

Zhou Xinyue said helplessly: "Alas. I really can't bear to see them like this. They hurt themselves at every turn."

Some people said, "So you, my lady, are kind. Kind people will be blessed."

Zhou Xinyue chatted with everyone for a while and then started to get busy again.

I don't know how long I've been busy with this, but this thing is really a good one.

There was not a trace of sweat on my head, and my body felt very cool, as if I had a magic cooling device.

Zhou Xinyue was grateful to the city lord from the bottom of her heart. It was really practical, especially at this moment.

Time soon turned to night, and the banquet hall in the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion was bustling with activity.

Everyone was drinking and chatting about the past and present, it was very lively.

A close servant approached the city lord Balbu's ear in a mysterious voice and said with a smile, "Those small tribes have jointly recommended a stunning beauty. City lord, do you want to see her?"

Balbu raised his head and took a sip from the wine bowl, then said indifferently, "Really? Every time you say she's a stunning beauty, but every time I see her, I think she's just so-so."

The close servant said with a smile: "Master, take a look, this one is really different. It's already waiting outside the palace, just take a look!"

Balbu fell back weakly all of a sudden, his collar opened up, making him look dissolute and unruly.

"Okay, call him in!"

The servant said happily, "Yes, I will summon her to the palace to perform immediately."

Balbu waved his hand impatiently.
