Penitent hand, trembling slightly

What's wrong with the lantern?Why didn't the male players who went to hang the lanterns yesterday notice?Or did they discover something, but chose to conceal it?

The sun hadn't come out yet, and there were bluish clouds floating in the sky. The five of them didn't worry too much about this problem, they just walked quickly to the kitchen.

As soon as the problem with the lantern was pointed out, Shen Maomao realized that there were indeed too many lanterns hanging in the Shao Mansion. Except for the rockery and the places where ordinary people lived, there were two big red lanterns every few steps. Swaying gently in the breeze, even two lanterns were hung on the pavilion on the pool.

It is obviously a very festive thing, but when the number increases, it feels inexplicably creepy.

It was still early, but there were already several servants in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the masters.As soon as Shen Maomao and the others arrived, they were stopped.

Potato chips said: "Miss Bichun ordered us to help in the kitchen."

The man immediately said: "That's it, then you go to wash the dishes."

So today's Shen Maomao has been reduced from a laundry worker to a dish washer, and what he washes is the dishes that the npc asked them to put down during dinner yesterday and wait for the people in the kitchen to wash the next day.

Besides them, there were two little maids who also washed the dishes.The little maid looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, and to the players present, she is at the level of a little sister.But regardless of their young age, in Shen Maomao's opinion, their ability to deal with people is much stronger than Zhai Yiqiao.The first time they saw strangers like them, the two of them didn't recognize strangers, and chatted with them with a smile, talking about themselves one after another, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The people in the kitchen were cooking and serving dishes back and forth, only the seven of them never moved.

A scent of vegetables filled people's nostrils, making Shen Maomao feel a little hungry too.

Stacks of bowls were cleaned, and then sent to a special place by two little maids.It was completely dawn, and the bell echoed in the distance, and it struck five times.

Lou Jingmo said: "It's seven o'clock."

Shen Maomao: "Huh? How did you see it?"

Milk tea said: "In ancient times, there was a saying that the morning bell and the evening drum are said. Generally, the bell is rung at the time of Chen, and the drum is played at the time of You. The time of Chen is seven o'clock in the morning."

Su Han glanced at her and Lou Jingmo unexpectedly, and said, "You guys know a lot."

Milk Tea smiled embarrassedly: "I used to like these things more, and I have studied them."

After a while, the two little maids who set the bowls came back.One of them smiled and said to them: "After the masters finish their meals, we can eat! The work in the kitchen is very oily, and many people want to squeeze in with their heads smashed!"

Shen Maomao found out that he was looking forward to what they said, and couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, probably because the meal last night was really too difficult to swallow.

Lou Jingmo thought to himself what kind of suffering this would be for the child, no matter how hard it is, the child cannot suffer... (No

As a result, they failed to wait for the meal, but instead waited for a job first——

A man in a white apron walked up to them and pointed at a person: "That one, it's you, go to the backyard and fetch me a bucket of water."

He is the chef, the supreme ruler of this kitchen, and the person he points to is Lou Jingmo.

Shen Maomao gave a "thump" in his heart.

Lou Jingmo himself had no expression on his face, he just stood up and nodded lightly.

Shen Maomao hurriedly stood up with her, making a gesture to follow her.

The man said: "Why are you going? I didn't ask you to go."

Shen Maomao turned around and said with a smile: "Isn't this the third urgency of people?"

The man frowned, and waved his hand in disgust: "Hurry up, go back early."

"Okay!" Shen Maomao agreed very happily, but as soon as he left the kitchen, he followed behind Lou Jingmo like a big follower.

Lou Jingmo stretched out a hand to her, and Shen Maomao quickly took it.

The two didn't dawdle, and came directly to the well.Lou Jingmo hung the bucket on the rope of the pulley, and threw the bucket down, but there was a "boom", which turned out to be the sound of the bucket falling to the ground.

"What's going on?" Shen Maomao didn't dare to look inside.

Lou Jingmo turned the potter's wheel and shook the bucket up. Of course, there was nothing in the bucket.

"Go back and talk to that cook?" Shen Maomao suggested.

Lou Jingmo thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Stand back a little and try."

Hearing this, Shen Maomao glanced at her worriedly, but out of trust in her, she still took two steps back, leaving enough space for her to display.

Lou Jingmo also took a few steps back, and then, like Shen Maomao that day, shot a basket from a long distance.

There was a sound of "gudong", the sound of water.

Shen Maomao groaned, and complained: "What the hell is this, isn't it too obvious that you want to harm people?"

Lou Jingmo said: "Come back."

Shen Maomao trotted back to her side, holding her hand to prevent her from being dragged down by unknown things in the well: "How do you say people in Shao's mansion usually fetch water? According to what the chef said, they don't need two Are you two coming together?"

Lou Jingmo said while turning the shaft of the potter's wheel: "Your question is on point. They must have a solution, but we don't know."

This time Lou Jingmo managed to fetch a bucket of water out.

The water is very clear, and it seems to have a strange fragrance, which makes people want to taste it.

But when he thought about the things that might exist in the water, Shen Maomao immediately dismissed the idea: "So do we usually use this water for meals? Will there be hallucinations or something if we drink too much?"

Lou Jingmo: "Then you can't starve yourself to death?"

Shen Maomao: "You make sense."

The two walked back hand in hand, and when they got near the kitchen, Shen Maomao slipped in first.

When I went back, dinner was already served, and there were several people sitting behind the table, all of whom were helpers in the kitchen, including two little maids and Su Han.

Shen Maomao took a seat first and took a look at the dishes.

The delicacies that the masters haven't touched a lot of chopsticks are all placed here, and they look quite rich.

Lou Jingmo came in behind, carried the bucket to the chef's side, and asked, "This water..."

The chef pointed to his side: "Put it here."

Lou Jingmo put down the bucket and sat next to Shen Maomao.

The chef took out a bowl, scooped a bowl of water directly from the wooden barrel, and drank it down. After drinking, he wiped his mouth, as if drinking fake wine, and said with emotion, "Ha—— "A cry.

There was great doubt in Shen Maomao's small eyes.

The other npcs sitting nearby all showed envious expressions, which made her suspect for a moment that what Lou Jingmo returned was not water, but agarose jade dew.

This meal made Shen Maomao very curious, because the chef drank most of the bucket of water by himself, and after drinking, he showed a fluttering expression, at first glance, it looked like he had inhaled something.

After a while, the chef put down his chopsticks, threw a spoon into the bucket, and said, "Divide the rest of the water, everyone can only drink one spoonful."

There was a burst of cheers from below, and all kinds of rainbow farts came into battle one after another, complimenting the chef so much that he walked out of the kitchen humming a little song with his hands behind his back.

The servants immediately began to pass the bucket, pouring spoonfuls into their own bowls one by one, smacking their lips cautiously, for fear that they would not be able to taste the taste if they drank too fast.

The five players were naturally assigned a scoop.

Shen Maomao looked at the small spoonful of water in the bowl, and couldn't help asking the two little maids: "Is this water so delicious?"

Before the little maid could answer, a handyman next to her said first: "When the eldest lady got married, I was lucky enough to taste the daughter's red at the banquet. The taste...is almost like the taste of water!"

One of the little maids smiled: "This water is called Immortal Water. It can make people taste their favorite taste. It is the treasure of Shao Mansion."

Shen Maomao: "???" The plot started to become magical? ?

Su Han asked: "Such a magical baby, will you drink it for us?"

Another little maid replied: "The cold water in Shao's mansion is like this, it's not so unusual, and this water has spirituality, only people in Shao's mansion can taste different flavors, so it has become a favorite of everyone in our mansion." Know the secret."

Lou Jingmo dipped a little water with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and took a sip, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Shen Maomao looked at her with wide eyes and asked, "What's the smell?"

Lou Jingmo: "Orange juice."

Su Han also took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he licked up the rest.

Shen Maomao frowned, wondering if Su Han was a bit over the top, and at the same time aroused curiosity about the water, wanting to try it.

Following Lou Jingmo's example, she dipped a little bit with her chopsticks and wanted to taste it, but Lou Jingmo grabbed her wrist and shook her head at her.

The eyes of the two collided, and Shen Maomao immediately put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Su Han said, "Rabbit, can you give me what you don't drink?"

Shen Maomao: "But..."

Su Han said: "I don't despise you!"

Lou Jingmo frowned, took Shen Maomao's bowl and drank her spoonful.

"Hey!" The disappointment on Su Han's face was obvious, "Why must there be a first-come-first-served one?"

Seeing her performance, he didn't dare to drink any more milk tea and potato chips, and silently put the bowl aside, but Su Han begged him to drink it up immediately.

Shen Maomao was a little worried about Lou Jingmo, and whispered to her ear: "Sister Lou...you won't let me drink so much, are you okay?"

Lou Jingmo replied: "It's okay, this thing seems to be addictive, I have strong self-control, no problem."

"Then she..." Shen Maomao glanced at Su Han.

Lou Jingmo said truthfully: "I just don't want her to touch your bowl."

Shen Maomao blushed and sat up straight silently.

Sister Lou is worthy of being Sister Lou, she is so jealous and tricky, which makes her... very happy... ahem.

The servants were immersed in the water, paying no attention to their movements.It took about 10 minutes after drinking the water. These people woke up one by one and started to clean up their used dishes.There is no need to move the dishes, because there will be servants coming to eat, for example, the male players have not come yet.

Su Han also woke up, the expression on his face could almost be called horror: "Why couldn't I control myself just now??!"
