Lord of Rot

Chapter 52 The Castle Recruits Servants and Maids
The castle was going to hire new servants and maids, and it was heard that they were being selected in the small square, and soon people came to hear the news.

There are so many benefits to working in a castle.

Mrs. Titmouse, the castle's laundry maid, just washes clothes every day. She is not tired from work and has food and money.

There is also the oak basin. Although I am not a maid, I am a bit tired as a cook with the chef of the castle, but that job also makes people jealous.

There is also the tall maid, although she left the castle after marrying the carpenter, but thanks to her leaving, other people have the opportunity to enter the castle.

The tall maid is a housewife and sweeper who lives in the castle. Looking at her, she married a carpenter as soon as she turned around. Although her husband is a dwarf who does not reach the waist, the lord values ​​dwarves, and the carpenter has too much work to do. I don't know how many people want to cut their heads and send their children to carpenters as apprentices, but none of them can do it.

I don't have to work in the future, and I don't have to worry about three meals a day, which is better than going to work in the castle.

Simon still kept his head up and his chin looking at people. Behind his back, the servants said that he had no nobleman's fate and got a nobleman's disease. Simon heard about it occasionally, but he didn't care at all. He was willing to remain elegant all the time.

Today, it is not only Simon who is in charge, Li Qi also "entrusted the important task" to the wine glass of the maid in the castle. The oak basin that was just finished working in the kitchen was dragged over by the wine glass temporarily, probably because he was afraid that he would be weak alone and could not compete with the housekeeper. .

The wine glass has the momentum of the housekeeper of Porcupine Castle, and she knows how to form cliques.

The oak tub pinched her skirt very nervously. She was used to being manipulated by Mr. Barrel in the back kitchen. She always thought that she was the lowest servant in the castle, but today she became one of the focuses, as if she was a noble lady in the castle. like.

Since just now, a few people have sneaked over to make friends, hoping that the oak tub can help.

"It's time to wait for the opportunity! Look, isn't that an oak basin? Since she entered the castle to work, she has eaten well every day, and she has become much prettier."

This is not a lie. In the castle, what the lord does not eat or leftovers will not be wasted, and usually will be shared among the servants and servants.Li Qi is not afraid of his chef stealing food, but if his chef is skinny, he will be worried.

"My child is hard-working and handsome. He will definitely be able to help the lord sweep the floor in the castle!"

"How many people will be hired this time?"

Some people are happy, others are sad, their own children are dull and not good-looking, it would be great if there are more places, the chances are greater.

Two hundred people, in fact, only a few dozen families. Some families have four or five children, and they all expect one of them to work in the castle.

There were too many people and it was a mess. For example, some heard Xin'er and found out that their daughter hadn't come: "Where's the little eye? Why didn't you come?"

I don't know who yelled: "I saw Xiaoyan sweeping the floor at home just now!"

"What time is it!" The man stomped anxiously, and then glanced at the castle steward standing in the center, knowing that it was unrealistic to ask them to help reserve a spot, so he turned his head and ran towards home, hoping can choose.

Li Qi didn't pay attention to the selection process of 'Rabbit' Simon. He either trained, studied food, or read books. There were many things, but he would never be an HR interviewer.

The servants and maids who often hang around in the castle are different from the kitchen assistants. The latter need to have good cooking skills, while the former must learn to have good eyesight so as not to make the lord angry.

The whole selection process was not fast. Simon was extremely strict in selecting people to enter the castle. The teenagers and girls who were interviewed were sweating in their palms, fearing that they would make mistakes.

Soon, the selection is over.

Those who were not selected were naturally full of regrets, and left dejectedly. They also knew that the castle would not need new servants in a short time.

The successful ones followed to the castle, but not by the main entrance.

"This is the castle?" The young man with a mole at the corner of his mouth put on new clothes and couldn't help exclaiming as he walked in the castle. The castle is so wide that you have to look up to see the top.

Precious furs, milk tea with a rich fragrance, and the books of the lord, everything is very similar to what you imagined, but a little beyond imagination.

The two men and two women behind him nodded.

The stone castle house is much more beautiful than their mud house. When they think that they will work in this kind of house in the future, it is difficult for them to restrain their inner excitement.

The butler Simon stood aside and looked at the excited faces of the five with a smile. He believed that servants needed a sense of honor to work in the castle, and it was an honor to serve the nobles!

"Okay." Simon interrupted the exclamation of the five people, and said: "Duck Flipper, you will be the first manservant of the castle, and Red Nose and Quack will work with you. Your main job is to do some chores, move Firewood, chopping wood, cleaning, or running errands."

"Yes!" Duck Flippers with a mole on its mouth nodded excitedly.

It is said that he is the first valet, the cook is not in his charge, and the groom will ignore him. The valet Pitchfork is not even below the butler. If the butler resigns in the future, the valet and the first valet will be the same. Be the housekeeper's first choice.

The housekeeper looked at the two cautious girls again. One was very beautiful, but there was a small mole between her eyebrows, and the other had small eyes, always looking listless.

"Akeke, little eyes, the two of you will follow the wine glass in the future, and she will lead you to work."

"Yes" the two little girls nodded.

The butler looked at Akeke twice more. The other party was arranged by the lord who canceled his slave status. He looked very beautiful. He would not randomly guess the intention of the lord, but he would definitely not let this beautiful little maid get too close to the lord. If the lord is a sane lord, if he is drunk, he may lose his mind. As the butler, he must keep the lord sane when he loses his mind.

Lurea's husband and wife are loyal to each other, and unmarried nobles should maintain their own image, otherwise there will be no distinction between personal servants and personal maids.

It's like Becky Simon, the 'heartbeat', who believes that any baron with a title and fiefdom can't marry her.

"Okay," Simon said, "I will take you to each room first, remember what I ordered, some rooms are not allowed to enter, I will tell you in detail, and there are some things that must not be done, and then I will take you Go to your respective rooms and have a look."

"You can go home and have a look tonight, but you usually need to work in the castle."

The five nodded happily, they couldn't wait to go home and tell their loved ones about their joy at the moment.

There was the sound of horseshoes outside.

"Horse hooves, it seems that the lord is back"

The lord doesn't go out often, but every time he goes out, he must go straight to his target, as if he has a pair of eyes that can see the entire porcupine collar.

But thinking about the fate of those down and out pirates who went ashore quietly, but died naked, the lord must have a very powerful army, but they are hidden and no one knows.

Li Qi, who walked into the castle quickly, was followed by the servant Pitchfork. He was regretting: "It's a pity that I didn't build an ice cellar. Summer seems a bit sad."

It was only spring, but the lord had been scorching hot enough to ride the horse for a while, and he could already imagine how bad it would be in summer.

"My lord!" The butler Simon took the lead, and the five newcomers followed suit. Their movements were awkward, but their attitude was very respectful, and they still needed to continue training.

"It seems that the five gentlemen and ladies are the new members of the castle?" The baron nodded. He just looked at Akeke a few more times, and then left quickly. The lord doesn't care about a few servants. He has more important things. Things like changing out of sweaty clothes.
