Alien landlady

Chapter 15 The Uninvited Guest

Back at Aini’s dormitory, it was Hill who opened the door. Ani didn’t come back. They had just finished lunch. Mrs. Wogan sent someone to the dining room to call her away urgently. The knight also went with her. It is estimated that Come back when you're done.

Bai Tongtong felt relieved when she heard that it was still the knight of Carjado who was accompanying Aini. She carried the vegetable basket into the kitchen, told Hill about Carjado's dinner, and told her to prepare the ingredients.

"Hill, I hope you understand that aristocratic students have their own big circle of activities. On some occasions, the young masters and ladies will accompany them personally. If you ask Master Kalya to reach out and hold Ani to avoid them when necessary The price of driving danger is to give him good food, I think this is the simplest and most relaxed exchange condition. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Miss Bai, as long as you think it's good, I will do as you want." Hill's full attention was on the distinguished guests at night, and he didn't listen carefully to what Bai Tongtong said, "Do you need me to go out and buy some wine? ?”

"What kind of wine do the two children drink? It's fine to buy some cakes for dessert."

"Then I'm going out now." Hill hurried upstairs to his room to change clothes, Bai Tongtong spread the ingredients in the basket on the table, and then went to take a nap by himself.

After getting enough sleep, Hill just came back with a freshly baked small cake. Bai Tongtong washed and cut the ingredients first. The meat filling and dough for the pancakes were ready to be put aside temporarily, and then he devoted himself to making multigrain noodles Sheets of dough.This is the food she has cooked several times at Seiya's house, so she knows the ratio of flour to soybean flour. She also specially bought a large rolling pin for those who can bake bread. It is long enough and strong enough when rolling out bread. .

Hill was helping to whip the cream. The biscuits were too dry and served with a creamy mushroom soup. Before she made meat buns to satisfy her craving, she had to show her cooking skills according to the taste of the locals.

In the middle of the afternoon, Ai Ni came back accompanied by the knight. She had spent half a day in Mrs. Wogan's office helping her copy and organize the documents, and her wrist was sore from writing. Feeling back upstairs to change clothes.

The knight who was the flower protector for Aini was also well received. Bai Tongtong specially gave him a glass of honey water as a thank you. The two sides exchanged names. The knight is called Naino. He has five years of experience and looks very mature. He looks like a stable person; his companion is Joel, who has two years of experience, is younger, and is relatively lively. Bai Tongtong's impression of Joel is that he likes to laugh, anyway, when he is at the dinner table, he always laughs. Never stopped.

Bai Tongtong lit the oven to preheat, took a few biscuits and put them in to bake, and also lit a fire on the stove next to it to cook soup. Carjado didn't know when he would be back, so now this is for Aini and Naino.

When Ai Ni changed her clothes and came down, Bai Tongtong had just finished checking the baking of the biscuits. She invited Nainuo to the restaurant to chat, and the kitchen continued to be busy.

Four pieces of biscuits were served on a brass plate first, followed by mushroom soup in a large pottery bowl with a thick bottom. In a world without porcelain, you can’t even buy a tableware that is both fancy and useful. There are only three kinds of living utensils: wood, pottery and copper. Glazed pottery is beautiful and expensive, but Bai Tongtong dare not buy it at all. God knows what ingredients are in the glaze water used by the locals.

Ani and Naino were eating, when someone knocked at the front door, Hill went to open the door, and sure enough, it was Kalljado and his servant knight, and one more guest, Ted.

Ted was dragged away by his friend in the morning, so he didn't know that Ai Ni had business and couldn't make the appointment in the afternoon. He was depressed when Kalljado appeared in front of him and made a fuss about Bai Tongtong's cooking skills It was exquisite, and naturally attracted Ted.

There were eight people in the small dormitory at once, and the dining room was spacious, but it still felt crowded. Hill opened the door of the living room and living room, but no one went in for a while, and everyone sat around the dining table to eat. The leftover biscuits are baking in the oven.

The whole meat pancake made Carjado, who is a pure carnivore, smile. His servant Su Di went to the kitchen and handed Bai Tongtong a bunch of repackaged paper bags with different names on them, all of which she had seen at noon. Edible spices.

Bai Tongtong thanked Su Di for Carjado's generosity with a smile, and then used a few of them to prepare dinner.

Ai Ni and the others finished their meal one after another, moved back and forth from the garden to the living room, Hill and Su Di cooperated to clean up the aftermath, Bai Tongtong had a little time to rest, chewing a piece of biscuit left for himself, and went to the back garden to enjoy the evening breeze ,relax for a moment.

The garden area is very large, and the wall is about ten feet high, but there is no gate. The only way to come to the garden is through the front door of the house and through the corridor. The security and privacy are better.

The soil quality of the garden also looks very good. The cross-shaped path paved with bricks divides the square garden into four bare grounds. Looking at the remaining plants, they were still taken care of at this time last year, but weeds and wildflowers are now occupying the ground. a larger territory.

Looking at the land, Bai Tongtong was drooling, wondering if it would be better to find some seeds in the spring of next year to grow and eat by himself, and it would be even better if he could find edible plants in the forest and transplant them back.

"Why are you staring at the dirt like you're about to starve to death? Don't you have something to eat in your hand?" It's okay, Kalljado's voice came out faintly, Meizhengtai frowned with an incomprehensible expression He tilted his head to look at Bai Tongtong.

"You're not sitting inside, what are you doing running out?" Bai Tongtong, who was only thinking about her own thoughts, was startled, but luckily she wasn't choked.

"I don't have a place in the living room. Naino and Joel both ran away, so I had no choice but to come here." Carjado pouted aggrievedly.

"Ani and Ted?" Bai Tongtong bit a sesame seed cake and raised an eyebrow, "Are they both interested?"

"Ted's eyes light up just by hearing Drag's name, even Su Di, that idiot, can see it, but Drago doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't react at all, as if he The feeling of being ordinary friends. Drago is the real idiot, right? Ted is so obvious, it's no wonder Noral is mad at seeing it."

"Well, don't guess like a girl with a girl's mind."

"I'm too lazy to guess. It's fun to see them like this. Noral's reaction is what I want to see the most."

"Yes, it's never a big deal to watch the excitement, right? Anyway, I must be the one who is exhausted and even offended."

"Are you trying to remind Drago?"

"It's embarrassing to expose this kind of thing, okay? If Ani wants it, it's a good thing. If Ani doesn't, what will Ted do? Maybe he can't even be a friend."

"Tch, what did I think you were trying to say, the countermeasures for adults?"

"Ted is the nephew of the Marquis after all. He is the only one with magical talents within three generations, but he has three older brothers who are in the military academy next door. Ai Ni is not a local, so she is weak and lacks the support of local friends. Under such circumstances, any resources cannot be easily let go. Besides, if Annie becomes a qualified magician in the future, who knows which descendant of a dignitary she will marry?" Ted's family situation is to buy vegetables in the morning He said it himself.

"Sure enough, he is an adult, thinking so far away." Carjado couldn't help but sympathize with Ted, "He is so pitiful."

"...It's a little bit." Bai Tongtong also admitted that it was against her conscience to calculate the young master so much, but for the safety of her employer, she had to do so, "I'll make it up to him when I have a chance in the future."

"Remember to call me." Carjado said with a look of reason.

"Master Kalya, I thought I've paid you off for today's meals?"

"Hey, don't get me wrong, by tomorrow's breakfast time, all the noble students will know that Drago has had a relationship with me. I can't guard against the jealousy of the girls, but the damage on the surface will definitely It was blocked, but well, you are right, all the bad things are coming to you." Carjado suddenly felt that he seemed to sympathize with the wrong person, compared to Ted, who did not need sympathy at all.

"Isn't that the original intention of hiring me?" Bai Tongtong stuffed the last bite of biscuits into his mouth.

"How much money can you earn from this task?"

"what?"

"Let me refer to it, and be my cook next semester."

"Hey, hey, Master Kalya, are you serious?"

"When did I say it was a joke?" Carjado's eyes widened, "What's wrong with being my cook, you can eat good food every day, and you don't have to worry about someone messing with you."

"Let's talk about next semester. Let me finish Ani's mission first and earn a reputation. The status of a guard who becomes a cook is dropping too fast. I have to think about it."

"The mercenary has become a special cook for the heirs of the nobles. This is a rapid rise in status, right?" Carjado rolled his eyes.

"I'm afraid you will hate me when the time comes, because I will definitely buy enough vegetables, fruits, grains and a little meat every day."

"You can't do this!"

"I buy vegetables, I cook, I have the final say." Bai Tongtong threw down a sly smile, turned and walked into the room to prepare dinner.

Carljado stood in the garden biting his fingernails with a sad face. It was a difficult decision whether to hire Bai Tongtong as his special cook.

"Cunning adults are the most annoying." Carjado puffed up his cheeks angrily.

In the kitchen, Bai Tongtong skillfully handled the ingredients on the table. Although Carjado brought Ted without authorization, the dinner was still enough, just change the menu.

There was enough fish and vegetables, and the dressing for the salad was adjusted. The sweet and sour pork tenderloin was replaced with shredded fish-flavored pork. The spices that Carjado gave her were just right for her.

When it got dark, the host and guest were all seated in the restaurant, the three young ladies and two knights, Hill and Su Di helped Bai Tongtong in the kitchen.

The specially kneaded noodles and vegetables are cut into cubes and cooked into noodle soup, which is used to pretend to be the customary soup. The staple food is still bread, and hot and cold dishes are also served one after another.Fortunately, Hill was smart enough to buy a whole big cake that looked like a hurricane, cut it into several pieces and decorated it with fruit pieces as a dessert, and served it out together with the rest of the fruit.

Because the food suits Carjado’s taste, he is the one who eats it the happiest. Others are also curious about the fish-flavored shredded pork. Why can ordinary meat have a different taste? Carjado uses spices for his own specialties And proud.

When the host and guests were full and left to rest in the living room, Su Di was finally able to sit down to eat his dinner in the kitchen. Bai Tongtong and Hill cleaned up the table before starting to eat. Later, Ani sent the guests out. I am very happy that Ted and Caljado enjoyed today's dinner.

Cleaning up the aftermath is a physical effort. Bai Tongtong originally held her attitude of not washing dishes when cooking, but seeing that Hill alone had to serve Ai Ni and do too much housework, she still helped clean up the kitchen waste and dumped it together. They are placed in the large trash can under the garden kitchen window, which is collected by a garbage truck in the driveway outside the main entrance every morning.

After washing and climbing into bed, I was already yawning, and fell asleep as soon as the quilt was rolled.

When the sky was getting bright in the morning, Bai Tongtong got up on time according to her biological clock. When she went downstairs, she could hear rustling in Hill's room, but no one came out.

Bai Tongtong finished washing herself, ate two biscuits and drank some water, and went outside for a morning run. She found that starting from the dormitory area, she went directly out of the school from the small forest, went around the commercial street, and then went to the small forest at the other end. Running back, the entire distance was just within her reach.

Because it was too early, there was not a single stall set up in the open space of the free market, and the bakery's small shop was still busy making dough. Bai Tongtong ran around and returned to Aini's dormitory empty-handed.

Hill is already neat and tidy, and she is helping Ani to dress up. This morning, she will go to help Mrs. Wogan with something. If she is free in the afternoon, she would like to sit in the salon.

Knowing that Ai Ni didn't dress up so quickly, Bai Tongtong went to the backyard to practice boxing, and then brought a bucket of warm water from the kitchen back to the attic bedroom to change out of sweaty clothes.

The clear bell of the garbage truck rang in the driveway, but Bai Tongtong suddenly heard Hill's screams and curses. She opened the window and looked down. The trash can had been moved by Hill, but it was left behind in the corner. A lot of messy kitchen waste, obviously she cleaned it up last night.

Bai Tongtong immediately went downstairs to see what was going on. Hill had already seized the time to clean up the garbage and brought it outside.

I searched along the corner of the wall where the trash can was placed, but found no traces, and even walked around the courtyard wall carefully, but there was no sign of someone climbing over the wall and entering the hospital in the middle of the night. Thinking that there are many wild animals in the school, The trash can didn't have a lid, maybe some small animal smelled it in the middle of the night and slipped in along the wall to look for food, which turned the trash into a mess.

The kitchens in the female dormitory are mostly furnished. It seems that it is not because the ladies do not want to cook by themselves, but there is a reason.

Bai Tongtong thought about it, it seemed that she had to find a suitable lid for the trash can first, otherwise it would be troublesome to clean up the traces of small animals every morning.

Aini also guessed whether it was caused by small animals, and then her association force exploded, and she began to imagine whether there would be strange-looking and quick-moving small animals in the middle of the night, climbing up the windows on the second floor along the downpipes, slipping into the room through the windows and getting under the bed?After all, the weather is getting colder now, and animals are looking for places to spend the winter.

Bai Tongtong feels that this idea is purely to scare herself, wild animals are afraid of people, and it's not like domestic pets will never give up unless they go to bed.

After comforting Ai Ni for a few words, she temporarily dispelled the more and more terrifying fantasy images. Hill also came back with an empty trash can. After she washed and changed her clothes, the three girls locked the door and went to the student cafeteria for breakfast.
