"Yes." Yu Qing tried his best to pretend to be well-behaved and agreed, placing the clothes in his hands in the small room in front of him.
Liu Gui put his hands behind his back and left the room, "Where you meet Manager Feng, two rooms next door, is the place to eat. Breakfast is used in the middle of Mao hour, noon is used in the middle of the afternoon, and late is used in the early hours of Xu. Don't wait if it is late."
He turned back and pointed to the book on the table in the room, "Take out the book and check the items in the warehouse to see if they match. If anything is missing, tell me immediately. If anything is missing after today, it will be your fault."
"Okay." Yu Qing hurriedly went in and took the notebook out.
However, Liu Gui did not stay with him to do the inventory. He explained some precautions and then left, leaving Yu Qing to look at it by himself. It was not an important matter in the first place.
However, Yu Qing still had to go to the warehouse to take inventory, so as not to have any unclear explanation later.
After checking, the items were not missing and everything matched, and it was almost time for lunch.
To be honest, he didn't want to go to a place to eat at all. He could imagine the quality of the servants' food, and he wasn't hungry. However, for ordinary people, it would be abnormal for ordinary people to not eat even if they have food.
After leaving the small courtyard, he closed the courtyard door and ran to the eating place, ready to have a meal.
When they arrived at the place, they could find the dining hall by smelling the smell. Yu Qing went in and took a look and found that dozens of people were already seated, nearly half of them were servants in gray clothes like him.
Following suit, he also got a big bowl with the "Niu Youqing" servant badge.
The bowl is big enough to put your face in it. After putting the rice in it, the cook adds a spoonful of vegetables on top. This is the size of the servant's meal.
The rice is whole grain rice, and the vegetables are just green vegetables.
For people like Yu Qing, this food is not easy to swallow, but for most of the housekeepers, it is quite good to be able to provide enough food here, and it is three full meals.
What's more, today's green vegetables also have some meat and minced pork rinds added to them, which makes the whole house eat them with a delicious aroma.
Yu Qing sat in the corner with a big bowl in his arms. As soon as he sat down, two servants came across from him and sat down. When he looked up, he was stunned on the spot.
The two people who came were none other than Nan Zhu and Mu Aotie.
Yu Qing was shocked, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you two here too?"
It was originally agreed that he would come in and act according to the situation, while the other two would cooperate outside.
Nanzhu chuckled softly, "It's not easy to see you coming in, so we thought of giving it a try, but we didn't expect it to be easy to come in."
Mu Aotie added, "It's not easy for him. Seeing that he was too fat, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to work because he didn't have enough food. He carried the stone pile on the side to prove it before he came in."
Nanzhu was a little embarrassed, but also aroused the indignation in his heart, and snorted, "A bunch of dogs look down upon others."
Yu Qing was speechless and lost his temper with these two guys.
Nanzhu changed the subject, "By the way, we searched everywhere in the bunkhouse before but couldn't find you. Which bunkhouse do you sleep in?"
When Yu Qing heard this, he became more energetic and did not hide his arrogance. "Can I be the same as you? I don't sleep in a bunk room, and I don't have to squeeze in with others. I have my own private room."
"Tsk!" Nanzhu looked disdainful and looked at the servant clothes he was wearing, which were the same as everyone else's.
The look on Mu Aotie's face was obviously unbelieving.
"Seriously, where do you live? I can contact you if I need anything." Nanzhu asked again.
Yu Qing: "After exiting this gate, turn left, go all the way to the end, then turn right, and the first courtyard gate you see is."
The two senior brothers were silent, looked at each other, and memorized it.
Yu Qing was about to ask the two of them where they lived and what they were doing. Unexpectedly, someone happened to come and sat aside with their rice bowls. The three of them suddenly couldn't talk anymore and could only bury their heads in eating.
The food in the bowl was not delicious, and the portion was quite large, so Yu Qing could only bite the bullet and eat it.
After that, the three brothers and sisters failed to get any chance to talk.
Nanzhu and Mu Aotie left first after finishing their meal. From time to time, people urged them to eat quickly, as they seemed to have work to do.
When Yu Qing came out of the dining hall, he was holding more than half of the unfinished bowl of food.
He really didn't have much appetite. Seeing that other people had washed the bowls and took them back, he asked and found out that this book was for their rice bowls. Remember to bring them with you when you come to eat in the future.
On the way back without haste, I smelled the aroma of meat, which seemed to be coming from the inner courtyard. I didn't know who was enjoying the spicy food.
When he walked back to the door of the courtyard, his eyes tightened and he found that the door that had been tightly closed when he left had a slight opening in half, and there was some movement inside.
He tried to push the door open and looked inside, and found a fluffy puppy running in and out of the warehouse, dragging and biting a broom.
It turned out that a dog had broken in, probably a puppy from nowhere. Yu Qing was relieved, entered the door, and closed the door again.
When the chubby gray-haired puppy saw the stranger coming, he immediately bared his teeth and "ouched" at Yu Qing, looking fierce.
"Tsk!" Yu Qing said disdainfully. He was amused by the little guy. He picked some vegetables from the bowl with rice and put it on the ground to test it out with his chopsticks.
The puppy immediately stopped barking, stared at the food on the ground and turned its head, its nose twitched, and then looked at Yu Qing, a little hesitant.
Yu Qing then walked away.
The puppy then boldly went over, sniffed the food on the ground, and finally stretched out its tongue to lick it. It finished it in a few mouthfuls, then raised its head and stared at Yu Qing eagerly, and even stretched out its tongue to lick its mouth.
Yu Qing looked around and finally poured the food on the ground under the eaves.
The puppy immediately ran over and slurped right in front of Yu Qing. The food was quite delicious.
Yu Qing took the opportunity to squat in front of it and look at it carefully, and found that the color of the puppy's fur was not gray at all, but actually a kind of lavender.
He reached out and picked up the dog's head and took a look, and found that the pupils of the dog's eyes were actually purple, like two purple gems.
No, he immediately opened the dog's mouth and looked at the teeth, then looked at the paws, and found that it was not a dog, but clearly a wild beast.
The puppy didn't lose its temper when it got food, and even took the initiative to wag its tail at Yu Qing as a sign of goodwill.
Yu Qing let it go and let it continue to eat, just in time to save waste.
He got up and went to the well to fetch water and wash his rice bowl. Then he went to the warehouse to grab a bag of charcoal and carried it to the door of the warehouse. He remembered that there was an iron pot in the warehouse, so after finding it, he carried it to the well and prepared to wash it all.
While he was fetching water from the well and scrubbing the rust from the iron pot, the puppy that had finished eating also came running over. His attitude towards Yu Qing was completely different, wagging his head and tail in a very affectionate way, and circled around him.
Yu Qing's attitude towards it was also different. He smiled evilly from time to time and washed the iron pot harder in his hands.
Dong dong dong, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
The puppy's reaction was alert, as if it was trying to avoid something, so Chubby ran away and ran into Yu Qing's room.
"Is there anyone there?" A voice came from outside.
Yu Qing felt that the voice was familiar, like Nanzhu's, and shouted: "Come in."
The door opened, and the first person who rushed in was none other than Nanzhu. Behind him were five or six people, all wearing gray servant clothes, including Mu Aotie.
Nanzhu and Mu Aotie were still surprised to see Yu Qing really here.
Yu Qing put down his work, shook the water on his hand, and asked, "What's the matter?"
There was an outsider, so Nanzhu could only pretend not to know him, took out the note and said, "Here to collect something."
At the same time, another person took out a note.
Yu Qing took a look at the note and saw that the people were divided into two groups, both of whom were here to pick up things. He immediately led a few people into a warehouse, pointed and said: "The buckets, poles, and brooms are all here. You can pick them yourself."
A group of people immediately went in to choose.
After they had picked them out, Yu Qing waved to everyone and said, "Come here and sign the pledge."
He took a group of people to the door of his room.
While Yu Qing was registering in the book, Nan Zhu and Mu Aotie, who had already observed the environment here, stretched their heads to look into his room and found that it was indeed a single room.
As soon as you arrive, you can have a single room and a separate small courtyard. How can there be such a big difference in the people who come in on the same day? The two senior brothers looked at each other.
Yu Qing, who had made the registration in the book, then asked them to come over one after another to sign and deposit, and those who couldn't write their names were asked to have their fingerprints printed. Judging from the submissive attitude of the group of people, it was obvious that they were all newcomers.
After the group of people left, Yu Qing closed the door and continued to wash the pots at the well.
As he expected, after a while, the door was pushed open again. Nanzhu took a look inside, then quickly stepped in sideways, clicking his tongue non-stop.
Before he could reach Yu Qing, the door opened again, and Mu Aotie came back with an excuse.
Nanzhu, who looked back, walked up to Yu Qing, leaned over and propped up his knees and asked: "Old Shififteen, what's going on? Why did they give you a single room and a courtyard? Did you use the identity of Ash Heng?
"
Yu Qing: "You're overthinking, I can't help it because I'm good-looking. What are you two doing?"
Nan Zhu: "I am responsible for cleaning. Lao Jiu's size suffers, so he is assigned to do physical work such as loading and unloading."
Yu Qing was surprised, "Didn't that person named Feng ask you if you can read?"
"asked."
"What did you say?"
"Of course I said no, um..." Nanzhu was stunned mid-sentence, and then he woke up and asked, "The reason why you are here is because you said you can read?"
Yu Qing nodded thoughtfully: "That may be the case."
Knowing what the problem was, Nanzhu said with envy and hatred: "Old Shififteen, you are not careful again. You came to be a servant and said that you are literate. Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion?"
Yu Qing: "As a talented person as I am, if I only say that I am literate, I have already wronged myself enough."
Nanzhu was quite dissatisfied, stood up straight, and hummed: "What a talented man, why don't you just wash the pot like a bitch?"
Yu Qing let go, stood up, walked away, and waved to the two of them, "Come here."
After taking the two of them to his room, Yu Qing looked around, and finally leaned under the bed and saw the puppy hiding underneath. He motioned to the two of them to take a look.
The two of them bent down and took a look and saw it.
"What's wrong with a dog?" Nanzhu asked.
Yu Qing: "The pot is prepared for it, and I also have charcoal here. Don't tell me that I am eating alone and ignoring my brothers. You can find an excuse to come over during dinner."
Nanzhu's eyes lit up, "Eating dog meat?"
Yu Qing: "No, I don't know what kind of beast it is. Later, go to the dining hall and try to get some seasoning."
Nanzhu hesitated, "They may not give it to me."
Yu Qing sneered, "If you can even deceive the prefect's daughter and almost become the prefect's son-in-law, what's a little seasoning worth?"
