Nian Bing agreed and followed the Tsing Yi servant along the small stone building towards the depths of Qingfengzhai. The further he walked in, the more he was infected by the elegant atmosphere here. Every decoration showed the master's style.
The unique and ingenious arrangement of pavilions and pavilions all gives people a sense of elegant beauty.
The servant took Nian Bing out of the front yard, came to a row of houses on the side, walked to the door of the innermost room, and said respectfully: "Manager, are you there?"
A clear voice sounded, "Come in."
The servant winked at Nian Bing and led him in. The room was very clean. There were two suites inside and outside. You couldn't see the ones inside, but the one outside was full of bookish atmosphere. There were several hangings on the wall.
There are calligraphy and paintings, and various stationery is placed on the wide carved wooden table. Behind the table sits a man who looks to be in his thirties. He is wearing a white robe and is writing something with his head down. Although he can only see
Looking at the profile, Nian Bing was surprised to find that although this person's appearance was ordinary, he had a special temperament. His elegance showed nobility. General manager, the general manager of Qingfengzhai?
The servant said to the middle-aged man: "Manager, the lady brought this man in and asked him to help in the woodshed, so I brought him here for you to register."
The man in white raised his head and looked towards Nian Bing, their eyes met. Nian Bing saw the word wisdom from his radiant eyes, and thought to himself that this person was definitely not easy to deal with.
The man in white was slightly stunned when he saw Nian Bing's handsome appearance and tall figure, and asked: "What is your name, where are you from? What do you know?"
Nian Bing said: "My name is Nian Bing. My ancestral home is in the Huarong Empire. I have learned cooking for a while."
The man in white smiled slightly and said, "Have you ever attended a cooking school?"
It’s a cooking school again. If I have the opportunity, I really want to go and see what is taught in this cooking school. He shook his head and told the truth, "I haven't been to it."
The man in white said: "Xiaosi, take him to get some clothes. Just as the lady said, let him work in the woodshed first. If he does well, he can be trained to become a low-level chef."
Xiaosi said respectfully: "Yes, manager. Come with me."
After Nian Bing put on the blue clothes and pants that Xiaosi found for him, he was taken to a separate small yard in the backyard. There were a lot of wood piled in the small yard, some of which were already chopped firewood and piled neatly together.
, there was a shed above the place where the firewood was piled, obviously because he was afraid that the firewood would get wet from the rain, Xiaosi shouted as soon as he entered the small courtyard: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, I have brought you a new person."
A loud voice sounded, "Here comes the new guy! It's okay, my old bones can relax a little more." A person followed the voice, also wearing blue clothes and trousers. He was a man in his fifties.
The old man had few wrinkles on his face, was tall, and was holding an ax in his hand. He had an ordinary appearance and a smile on his face. He seemed easy to get along with at first glance.
Uncle Li's eyes fell on Nian Bing, and he looked him up and down, "Well, it looks like he's in good health, but I don't know if he can bear the pain. I split all the firewood used in Qingfengzhai here.
Boy, if you can’t finish your work, you’ll have to work overtime.”
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Hello, Uncle Li, I have been born in poverty since I was a child. I have no problem working. Don't worry."
Uncle Li smiled and said: "That's good, Xiaosi, you can go back and leave him to me. Now that a new person is here, I won't have to look for other people to help in the future. The two of us will work together and we will provide what we need."
Use the kitchen. Come on, I'll take you to your accommodation first."
Xiaosi left, and Nian Bing was led by Uncle Li to the house in the corner of the courtyard. There were three rooms here. Uncle Li said: "Originally, the work of chopping firewood should be completed by three people, but since Dachengxuan opened, it has been divided into three rooms.
Part of our business has been taken away, so I'm the only one doing it. When I'm overwhelmed, I ask for help. You can live in the one on the right. The room in the middle is messy and difficult to clean."
Even a woodcutter has his own room. Qingfengzhai is really well run. Nian Bing thought as he walked to the room on the right, put down his baggage and walked out immediately.
Uncle Li was waiting for him at the door, "Boy, have you ever chopped firewood before?"
Nian Bing nodded. When it comes to Pi Chai, he can be considered a senior one.
Uncle Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't bully the newcomer. From now on, each of us will do half the work. Qingfengzhai is also very particular about chopping firewood. Someone brings the wood. When chopping, we should try to chop it as evenly as possible. You see
, Just like that." As he spoke, he pointed to the pile of wood aside. "I will finish the work today. You can look at it from the side. Starting from tomorrow, you will help me share the work.
Oh, by the way, what’s your name and who recruited you?”
Nian Bing briefly told everything that happened on the street before. After listening to his narration, Uncle Li smiled and said: "Although Miss has a bad temper, she has a good heart. Don't worry, although we are just wood choppers,
The remuneration is also good, with food, shelter, and a monthly income of one gold coin. It can be said that we are the happiest firewood workers. Moreover, our time is also free. As long as we chop the firewood we need every day, we can move around freely.
You can go outside through the back door and walk around.”
Nian Bing listened to Uncle Li's introduction to Qingfengzhai while observing the surrounding scenery. Under Uncle Li's introduction, he gradually got a general impression of the place. The area of Qingfengzhai was not smaller than that of Dachengxuan, but due to the
It is dominated by various elegant scenery, so the number of guests that can be accommodated is much smaller than that of Dachengxuan. Not far in front of the firewood room is the kitchen. Every day, someone from the kitchen comes here to collect firewood. This can only be done when eating.
Seeing those chefs, Uncle Li said that the food in Qingfengzhai was very good. Although the food the servants ate was made by low-level chefs, it also had vegetables and meat, which was very good.
"Uncle Li, let me chop. You rest for a while." Nian Bing took the ax from Uncle Li's hand and took out a piece of wood. The ax fell and the wood split open. He slowed down as much as possible and struck a few times in succession. Eight neat pieces of firewood of the same size came out.
He appeared. Uncle Li praised: "As expected, I have done it before, Nian Bing. Seeing that you are so skilled, you must have been doing it for a long time. Miss really found a good helper for me this time." There is Nian Bing to help.
, he was also happy and free, and talked more.
Nian Bing smiled bitterly and said: "In total, I have been chopping firewood for eight years. Uncle Li, just now I heard Xiao Si and others telling the young lady that a great magician named Long Ling came to her. The great magician is very powerful, right?
.”
Uncle Li nodded sincerely and said: "Of course it is powerful, not ordinary. In order to give up the transcendent status of the Ice God Tower, the Magician Guild of our Ice Moon Empire is setting up in Ice and Snow City. I heard that,
Then Miss Long Ling is the daughter of the union president. She has reached the level of a great magician at a young age, and she and our lady are the best friends."
The Magician Guild of the Ice Moon Empire is always in Ice and Snow City. This news is extremely useful to Nian Bing. Although he does not know what level of magic power he has reached, he should be close to the realm of a great magician. What he lacks most now is
, is the magic book of ice magic. Magic spells are extremely important. No matter how high the magic power is, it will be useless without spells. Although some low-level spells of the ice system can be guessed with the help of fire magic spells, those of level three or above
Spells already have their own characteristics. Having ice magic power but no spells is not a comfortable feeling. If you can go to the Magician's Guild and read the magic book, it will definitely be of great help to you.
With Nian Bing's help, it didn't take long for today's task of chopping firewood to be completed. When Uncle Li was chopping firewood, Nian Bing had carefully observed his chopping speed, so he only kept pace with him when chopping.
The speed was about the same, and although the chopped firewood was even, it was not as perfect as when I was in the peach blossom forest. Halfway through the splitting, two people in white chef clothes came and took away part of it.
Uncle Li laughed and said: "You are different now that we have you. You are such a diligent young man. He can chop at about the same speed as me. It is getting late and it is almost time to have dinner."
Nian Bing said: "Uncle Li, I won't eat here today. I just arrived at Ice and Snow City and want to go for a walk and buy some daily necessities."
Uncle Li was a cheerful person and didn't ask any more questions. He told Nian Bing where the back door was and let him go out.
Leaving Qingfengzhai, Nian Bing's eyes flashed with light. Since he already knew that the Ice Moon Empire's magician's union would always be here, he should go take a look first and at least ask what conditions were required to read the information there. Thinking of this, he
Walking along the main road, I asked a random person and found out the location of the Magician's Guild.
