The days when I was a maid in another world

After hearing what Madeleine said, I immediately got up and went to find Emilia.

"Emilia!" Seeing her standing at the door of the bedroom, I hurried over, "Are you looking for me?"

Emilia nodded, then looked me up and down, and said with complicated eyes: "Congratulations, Donnie, you have been promoted again."

"Huh?" I couldn't help being taken aback.

"The lord has spoken, asking you to work as a handyman in the kitchen." Emilia looked at me with a hint of ambiguity.

This is how the same thing?Why did I get promoted again all of a sudden?She said that it was the lord who sent the message. Does that mean that the lord deliberately promoted me?

There is no doubt that the lord must know that it was I who danced with him last night.So why did he promote me?Is he rewarding me for making him happy? Or is he trying to thank him for it and keep working hard? Or is he trying to tell me that as long as he pleases me, I have "a lot going on"?

Inexplicably, I broke out in a cold sweat.

All my knowledge and common sense tell me never to challenge the authority of a ruler, no matter what era it is.

So, I don't want to get close to him at all - the only person in power in the Tride area.

"What's the matter, Donnie?" Emilia interrupted my thoughts, "Aren't you happy?"

"No," I shook my head with a decent smile, "I was just a little surprised."

"Do it well!" Emilia said solemnly, "Don't disappoint the Lord Lord's kindness."

"Yes." I replied respectfully.

Since I am a kitchen handyman, I don't think I will have much contact with the lord, so I don't need to be too nervous.

***

At the regular meeting the next morning, when Emilia told me about my promotion, I immediately became the focus of many eyes.

My promotion speed is too fast, second only to Madeleine.Although I am on the same level as Anna now, I was lower than her in the beginning.

Therefore, it was inevitable that I was envied and hated by other maids.

"If you get promoted further, you can become a mistress..." Haili whispered viciously when the team disbanded.

I sneered at her and thought to myself: You are the mistress!You hooked up with a married man!

Anna gently grabbed my sleeve, and whispered, "Donnie, don't pay attention to what others say."

I restrained my anger, eased my face, and replied: "Don't worry, they are jealous, I won't care."

"Come on, let's go to the kitchen together."

"Okay." I followed Anna to the kitchen to report.

Anna worked as a handyman for a pastry chef, and I was a handyman who washed dishes and ran errands.

The person in charge in the kitchen is called Lynn. Since I came to the kitchen, this fat cook has used my name as a catchphrase——

"Donnie, go and wash the dishes!"

"Donnie, the celery is not washed, wash it again!"

"Donnie, why haven't you finished peeling the onion? Oh, you're so stupid!"

"Donnie, hurry up and wash those dishes, do you want to save them until tomorrow morning?"

"Donnie, I told you to use hot water, otherwise the oil stains on the dinner plate will not be washed off!"

"But Lynn, the hot water is hot!" I couldn't help but reply.

"Donnie, can't you bear it? We all came here like this. You are also a maid, not a lady!"

Fuck, I want to sew those thick lips on her!

When I finally got off work, I was almost exhausted.

"Tony, are you okay?" Anna came over and asked with concern.

"It's okay." Maybe my little life is still there, so I should be content.

"Let me see your hand." She took my red hand and asked while blowing, "It hurts, right? Go back and put some ointment on you."

"Did the handyman wash dishes like this? Use hot water?" I asked.

Anna shook her head and said, "That's not all. They soak it in hot water and wait for the water temperature to cool down before washing."

I knew it!Lynn urges me to wash it up, just to make things difficult for me!Is she giving me, a newly promoted employee, a big blow?Wait for me!

"Donnie," Anna looked around, saw that everyone else had left and only the two of us were left, and then whispered, "Do you know why Lynn targeted you?"

I shook my head.

"Because it was her niece who helped her before." Anna explained, "You came to the kitchen to replace her niece, and that girl not only didn't get promoted, but instead took your place as a handyman, it's not at fault You were demoted, that's why Lynn has prejudice against you."

I:"……"

It's not my fault to be promoted, it's the wayward lord who did it!

"I see." I patted Anna on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Let's go with the flow! Let's go back."

Anyway, Lynn doesn't dare to deal with me too blatantly, what am I afraid of?If you make me anxious, I'll give her a good beating, regardless of whether she's a woman or not!

***

I endured it for three days, and on the fourth day I finally broke out!

Lynne murmured like a broken mouth, thinking that my potatoes were not good, because there was a small hole in it that I didn't completely dig out.

I remember eating potato wedges with skin on in my soup before, so I'm a lot cleaner than the vegetable cleaner I was before!

Seeing Lynn waving a cooking spoon while talking, I took a few steps forward and snatched the spoon, and then bent the spoon hard with both hands.

"Talk nonsense endlessly, and I'll break your neck!" After I finished speaking in a nasty voice, I threw the spoon at her feet with a bang.

She jumped back in fright, watching my eyes widen.

I pointed at her and said in a low voice: "I have tolerated you for a long time, if you dare to trouble me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

She was stunned for a long time before regaining the ability to speak, and whispered, "I, I'm going to tell Emilia..."

"Go ahead!" I glanced at her contemptuously, "but remember to lock the door at night, and don't be alone!"

"You, you wait..." Her threat didn't even have the slightest confidence, and she didn't dare to go out to find Emilia after all.She looked down at the bent spoon, then silently took another spoon from the shelf next to her, turned around and walked to the stove to continue cooking.

The other people in the kitchen were still staring at me blankly, I glanced over coldly, they immediately looked away and continued busy with their work.

Seeing that the kitchen was finally quiet, I squatted down again and continued to wash the vegetables.

Well, if some people don't fix him once, he will kick his nose and face!

Huh——finally let out a bad breath!

***

Lynn has never made things difficult for me since that day.And Emilia didn't come to me either, probably because Lynn didn't have the guts to go to her place to complain.

Although washing vegetables and dishes is not a good job, I can do it fairly smoothly, so I can barely do this job.

I thought that working in the kitchen would give me a chance to eat something good, but I was so naive!Only the lord's meal is delicious and elegant, but I can't even touch the edge of the bowl of his meal, let alone sneak a bite.

I asked Anna in private if I could steal some snacks. She was almost taken aback, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Who would dare! It was made for the lord. If you dare to steal it, you will be kicked out immediately!"

I have been in this world for more than four months, and I eat almost like pig food every day. It is extremely miserable.

The bacon, ham, steak, etc. in the kitchen are enough to make my mouth water, but today I saw another thing!

"Donnie, you are from the East, you should know what this is?" Lynn has been able to get along with me recently.

I looked at the things in the small enamel basin, and my eyes were about to fly out, "Rice!"

Hastily, in this country where bread is eaten every day, I miss rice more than meat!

"This is specially offered to the lord by the merchants from the east!" Lin En poked the snow-white and crystal-clear rice grains with her hand, "It is said that this is not ordinary rice, but a tribute rice that only emperors in the eastern countries can eat! "

Fuck, I can eat two bowls of rice even if it is made of ordinary rice, no, three bowls!

"By the way, can you cook rice?"

I nodded mechanically, my eyes still glued to those rice grains.

"Then let you do it." Lynn said, and put the small enamel basin into my hand, "I can tell you, if you don't do it well, your monthly salary will not be enough to pay for this little rice! "

Holding the small pot of rice in my hand, the only thing I thought about was: it will be ready later, I must have a taste!No, eat as many bites as you can!

I carefully cleaned the rice, for fear that a grain of rice would be washed away along the water.After scouring the rice, I thought about it and decided that the one-to-one ratio of water to rice should not be wrong—after all, I used a rice cooker to cook rice before, and then put the small enamel pot on the stove and covered it with a lid.

"Lynne, turn the heat down to a simmer after a high boil," I said to her.

"Donnie, since I've left it to you, I won't interfere. You can settle the matter of the fire yourself." She looked like she had nothing to do with herself.

Damn, do it yourself!

It's really difficult for me to fiddle with the fire. After all, this is not like the gas stove I used before. The fire can be adjusted through the knob, and the ignition is much easier.

I fiddled with it for a long time but failed to light the fire. In the end, Anna took the time to come and help, and the fire finally went up.

I stood by the fire, cooking the rice carefully. Seeing that the water was boiling, I quickly withdrew part of the fire and continued cooking on a low heat.

When the aroma of rice filled the kitchen, all eyes were focused.

"Oh my god, it smells so good!"

"Oh, my mouth is watering..."

"I don't know if I can have a bite in my life..."

While everyone was watching, a clear voice came over: "Is the rice ready?"

Looking back, it turned out to be Talis.I nodded quickly and said, "It's just done!" As I said that, I opened the lid to confirm, and seeing that the rice was indeed ready, I was completely relieved.

Talis didn't say any more, just took two towels, and took the small enamel basin away.

It wasn't until she walked out of the kitchen that I suddenly realized: Grass, I haven't eaten a bite yet!
