Alien landlady

Chapter 14 Bargaining
Carjado looked at the food on the dinner plate, but didn't do anything for a long time, just took a spoon and kept stirring in the soup bowl, and finally took a mouthful as if he had tasted poison, and immediately looked disgusted.

"It's unpalatable."

Carjado's servants and soldiers had already eaten half of the lunch, and even though it was equally unpalatable, they could only swallow it with their eyes closed.

Young master Carljado did not easily accept such food tastes. He put down his spoon, took out many seasoning bottles from the ring in his hand, and added at least three powders to the soup before he was finally satisfied.

Bai Tongtong, who was sitting next to him, suddenly dropped the bread in his hand, bent down and hid under the table, and sneezed twice.The kid's spices were actually spices, and she smelled something like ginger and pepper.

This young master has the value of hooking up.

Bai Tongtong sat up straight again, and saw the young master Carljado glaring at her fiercely, which made the hair on the back of her neck feel cold for the second time today.

"What dissatisfaction do you have with my Tamir specialty?" Young Master Carjado's tone was very bad.

Aini and Hill immediately put down the tableware, and looked nervously at Bai Tongtong and Kalljado, for fear that they would conflict. Kallyado's servants were the same, all on guard.

Bai Tongtong raised his hands in front of his chest, "Young master, I just think it's too wasteful to use such good spices in vegetable soup, and it's more suitable to eat roasted meat."

These words miraculously eased Carjado's face.

"can you cook?"

"Oh, I just went to the morning market outside this morning, but it's a pity that I have other things to do. I wanted to cook for lunch by myself." Bai Tongtong nodded with deep understanding and approval, "How many times do you eat in the restaurant?" enough."

"Can you cook meat dishes?"

Bai Tongtong raised his eyebrows, "It depends on what kind of meat you buy. Have you ever eaten chicken rolls? The chicken is fluffed up, marinated, battered, deep-fried in a pan until golden, and taken out. Spread pancakes in the pan and spread the chicken on top. Vegetables, spread some mayonnaise, roll up and eat."

Young master Carljado's eyes were wide open, but he still pursed his lips in disgust, "I hate vegetables the most."

Bai Tongtong saw it and smiled slightly, "The tenderest tenderloin, marinated, fried and cut into strips, rolled in pancakes, full of meat when you bite into it."

"What about ribs?"

"The ribs are simpler. You can either burn them with wine, or mix a little sweet and sour sauce to make sweet and sour ribs. For meat dishes, at least spices are indispensable. I heard that the spices produced in Tamir have a first-class aroma and taste, but unfortunately I have never had a chance to try it. Pass." Bai Tongtong keenly grasped the information that Kalljado himself had leaked earlier, and lured the young master into taking the bait.

Carljado's reaction was beyond Bai Tongtong's expectation. He pushed the plate away and stood up, asking Bai Tongtong to go to his dormitory to cook for him in an orderly tone.

Bai Tongtong was sweating a little, the children of the Grand Duke's family acted recklessly.

"I'm sorry, Master Kalya. I'm Miss Draig's guard. Where is she and where am I? Besides, we have business to do in the afternoon, and the teacher needs our help."

"Isn't it just for the start of school, exchange with you." Kalljado waved at one of his fighters, and one of them immediately got up and walked behind Aini.

Bai Tongtong had no choice but to look at Ai Ni.

Ani was so terrified that she had no reaction other than to nod.

"You have to protect it well." Bai Tongtong compromised.

"They are formal knights." Carjado raised his chin proudly again.

Bai Tongtong immediately shut up.

Carljado put the seasoning jar on the table back into the ring, and the servant and another knight gathered around him again. The four of them were about to go out when there was a sudden commotion in the dining room.

The red-haired and red-robed Noral is a sight to behold wherever she walks, and her cousin, Miss Barbara, is now well-known to her classmates, but this time besides these two sisters, there is a man and a woman beside them , looks older.

Carjado stood still, he deliberately waited until Noral and the others found a seat and sat down before he went out.

The noble boys' dormitory is not far from the girls' dormitory. This No. 11 restaurant is basically sandwiched between the two dormitory areas, and Carljado lives in No. [-].

The structure of the house is exactly the same, and the cooking utensils in the kitchen are more abundant than Aini's. It seems that this young master really likes to eat.

"If you make me happy, I'll give you benefits." Carljado sat down at the big cooking table in the kitchen, instead of waiting in the restaurant outside, he wanted to watch every step of Bai Tongtong's operation.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything, a simple set meal."

"Would you mind contributing a little spice?"

Carljado's servant immediately opened the cupboard and took out many copper seasoning jars. Bai Tongtong opened them one by one and tasted them. The many similar flavors brought a special sense of intimacy, and Bai Tongtong smiled happily.

Picking out the bacon that is needed, and putting the rest aside, Bai Tongtong took out her vegetable basket from the ring, took out a large bag of fresh tenderloin and a bag of fish, and gave each half to the manservant to go to the well in the backyard After washing off the blood, she found more dishes, knives and spoons in the kitchen for spare use.

Everyone didn't eat a few bites of lunch just now, and they are still hungry now, so Bai Tongtong first made a few ham and fried egg sandwiches for Carjado and the others to fill their stomachs, and she started marinating the meat quickly, and then went to the side to cut the fish And vegetables, ready to make mushroom and vegetable minced fish soup.

Carljado muttered about how he hated vegetables, but Bai Tongtong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and prepared his own as usual, sitting on the stove to blanch vegetables, and when the meat was marinated and started to be fried, the young master finally shut up.

The stove has two burners, the one on the left is frying meat, the one on the right is spreading pancakes, and the servant is cleaning another small chopping board in the yard, ready to cut cooked food.

After the marinated meat was fried, the aroma came out, and Carljado started to pat the table without manners. The knight beside him couldn't help rubbing his nose, taking a deep breath of the long-lost aroma.

The fried pancakes were served on a plate, and the tenderloin was cut into thin strips. Carjado firmly protested against laying a layer of vegetable leaves, so Bai Tongtong had no choice but to wrap the meat with pancakes for him. She and the other two still had vegetables.

While the soup was cooking, the meatloaf was eaten. After a short rest, the hot soup was on the table. The young master Carjado was very dissatisfied with the diced vegetables in the soup, but after he tasted it, he still accepted it with a whimper. And after eating one portion, he added some more, and in the end, he leaned on the back of the chair and burped and touched his stomach contentedly, forgetting all the table manners that a high-ranking nobleman should have.

His servants and knights also laughed and praised.

Bai Tongtong finished the last sip of soup in the bowl, put down the spoon, and wiped her mouth.

"Master Kalya, please give me some comments?"

"How long will your escort mission last?" Carjado asked without answering.

"By the end of this semester, when Ani arrives home safely."

"Okay, I'll hire you next semester until I leave school." Carjado said with a proud expression that it was a great honor for you to work for this young master.

Bai Tongtong squinted her eyes, deliberately teasing the beautiful lady, "Master Kalya, you have no shortage of guards."

"I'm short of a cook." Carjado's expression remained unchanged.

"I'm not a cook by profession."

"I said you are."

"Then I can refuse."

The young master pouted, "Do you really want to refuse the employment of a Caljado?"

"Cooking is a hobby, not a profession." Bai Tongtong insisted on this point.

"Is it okay if I keep your Miss Drago safe this term?"

"How do you protect her?"

Carjado wrinkled his nose, "Miss Drago, isn't she the one who fell into the lake for no reason and almost drowned last winter, and has to repeat the first grade this year. This matter has been spread in the salon for a long time, and it is rumored that she offended people , was punished. Originally, I just listened to it casually, but I didn’t expect to run into it in the restaurant today. The lady of the Viscount’s family also brought guards. Obviously, her family is also worried about another accident. There are too many children from aristocratic families in the school. Competitors spare no effort. Do you really think that the students who drop out every year are all because of poor academic performance?"

"The school doesn't care about it?"

"The school allows students to discuss privately and go to dangerous and forbidden places to explore the casualties at their own risk. How could they intervene in the personal grievances between students and fall under the plot of others? They can only blame themselves for being unlucky and not smart enough. Here, It's useless to study hard. Either you have a good family background and no one dares to tease you, or you should be smart and don't be fooled by others. That Drago is a taciturn and easy to bully at first glance. If you still want to get Full commission, it is best to find outside help."

"It sounds like Ani is still in danger this semester? Master Kalya, did you hear any gossip at the salon?"

Carjado had the upper hand in the negotiations, and he did not hide his complacency, "Gadun will tell you at dinner."

Bai Tongtong was helpless, this little Zheng really knew how to bargain.

"I bought these vegetables today, you saw them all just now."

"Your cooking skills are definitely more than just making these simple meals." Carjado believed in his own judgment.

"I thought that for senior nobles, the same ingredients would not be eaten twice in one day."

"It's true at home, but this is a school with limited conditions and everything is kept simple." Carjado spread his hands with a helpless expression forced by reality.

"That's right, but Ani is also a member of the salon. Where is she, where am I? People may not tell jokes in front of her, but behind the scenes, I can hear what you hear. .” Bai Tongtong smiled slyly.

"Hey!" Carjado was not happy when he found out that he had been fooled. He rolled his eyes and had an idea again, "It's too late for you to listen. Maybe someone is planning something behind the scenes."

"That's why Viscount Drago hired me as an adult. In any case, I have better countermeasures than a child. As long as I don't directly kill Ai Ni, I have plenty of time to take revenge slowly."

"You don't even know who did it."

"Young boys and girls in their teens have done something proud of themselves. Is there really such a good city man who refuses to tell anyone?"

"How did Miss Drago fall into the water? I haven't found out yet." Carjado sneered.

"Isn't that because I'm not here?" Bai Tongtong said boldly.

"Tch, bragging."

"Let's go and see."

"Speaking of which, you are not at all curious about what else I heard in the salon?"

Bai Tongtong leaned forward slightly towards Carjado, and smiled slyly, "What did I just say? Teenage boys and girls are not so good at keeping secrets in the city?"

Realizing that he had been fooled for the second time, Carjado raised his eyebrows, but before he saw him jumping, Bai Tongtong decisively stretched out a finger to block his lips, "If you want to have another fresh meat pancake in the afternoon, just tell me honestly , what did you hear in the salon."

Carjado blinked, slapped Bai Tongtong's hand away, and stretched out two fingers, "Two."

"Okay, deal." Bai Tongtong readily agreed.How to prepare ingredients for a biscuit, of course it must be made for everyone to eat together.

Carjado licked his lips, took the water glass from the manservant to moisten his throat, and then lowered his voice mysteriously, "There are rumors in the salon that the boy Nolar likes likes Drago."

Ted's figure could not help but appear in front of Bai Tongtong's eyes.

"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Carjado was dissatisfied with Bai Tongtong's calm reaction.

"From last night to this morning, there was a boy who was hanging around Ai Ni, and they were supposed to have dinner together at noon."

"The one in the white robe?"

"The marquis's."

Carjado rolled his eyes, deflated, "Aronson. That's it."

"I see that boy is not very interested in Noral."

"Draig is in danger here. If that guy flattered Nolar first, was rejected, and then turned to Drago, it would be fine."

"Boys and girls have complex love-hate relationships." Bai Tongtong shook her head in a nonchalant tone.

"Aronson really likes Drago?" Carjado put on a gossip face.

"Then who knows, but he asked Aini to meet at the salon this afternoon, and Aini must not be able to go, why don't you go find out the news?"

"Take me as a spy? That's not my job." Carjado straightened his shoulders, and a new round of bargaining began.

Bai Tongtong didn't respond directly, but turned around and dragged the vegetable basket from the other side of the big table to count the remaining ingredients in it, "Hey, the leftovers in the basket, besides making a few fresh meat pies in the afternoon, I plan to make some for the rest of the night. Fried fish nuggets or sweet and sour pork tenderloin or something, mix some flour with soybean flour to make noodle soup, add some vegetables, it will be warm and full.”

Carjado immediately called to his valet, "Sudi, help me prepare clothes for the salon this afternoon."

The servant Su Di nodded in agreement.

"But if I go to the salon in the afternoon, I won't be able to eat meatloaf." Looking back, Carjado still thought about this.

"When you come back, I'll save the meatloaf for you as a snack before dinner."

"That's acceptable. Put more meat."

"Save what's for dinner, and use the rest to make meatloaf."

Carljado smiled.

However, Bai Tongtong felt that this kid loves meat so much, but he is not fat at all, and his body is well maintained, so he wants to discuss it when he has a chance.

"I'll go back first, girl four one three, don't go to the wrong door." Bai Tongtong picked up the basket and pushed the chair back under the table.

"Tch, the girls' dormitory kitchens are useless except for boiling water. Whoever's kitchen is smoking must be right." Carjado followed and got up to see the guests off in person. His mouth was not pleasant, but his behavior gave Bai Tongtong a lot of pain. Great courtesy.

　It is inconvenient to not have automatic update. I forgot to update in the early morning. Fortunately, there was no delay.
