Chapter 208 Lin Mansion 3
Chapter 208 Lin Mansion 3
Personal mission?
Although Yun Chu was a little surprised, he didn't show any expression on his face because Xiao Cui was in front of him.
"I never thought I could enter the Lin Mansion. I thought my life was over, but Master Lin suddenly appeared in front of me. Not only did he scold my father for treating me like this, he also paid to buy me and brought me back to the mansion."
Xiao Cui's rough yellow face was full of gratitude. Although she was just an insignificant maid in the Lin Mansion,
But compared to the past, the present is like a paradise on earth.
She doesn't have to get up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, take care of her parents and younger brothers, or have endless work to do all day long.
Now she lives in a room with other sisters, has her own bed and cabinet, and the work she does every day is not as tiring as at home, and she even receives monthly salary.
The mansion provided food and accommodation, and she had few expenses of her own, so she could save a lot of money every month. This kind of life was something she had never imagined before.
Yun Chu felt a little complicated. Whether in the past or now, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls has never changed.
The more backward the place, the more serious this phenomenon is.
"So is Mr. Lin really as rare and kind as you say he is?"
Yun Chu was a little skeptical, but at the moment she had no reason to doubt. It was just that her sixth sense told her that things were not that simple.
Xiao Cui nodded heavily: "Of course, a person like me with a lowly fate would have rotted in the mud if Master Lin hadn't helped me. The person I respect most in my life is Master."
"Look at those other rich and powerful people who only think about their own enjoyment every day. Even a little bit of money leaking from their fingers is enough for ordinary people like us to live for a year. I think the master must be a god from heaven who came down to earth to help us."
Before they finished talking, a little maid came out from the kitchen.
"Xiao Cui! Come and help wash the vegetables!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
Xiao Cui turned around and responded, smiling apologetically at Yun Chu.
"Sister Yunchu, I'm going to help in the kitchen. If you need anything, just call me anytime."
Seeing Yunchu nod, Xiaocui immediately ran to the kitchen.
Yun Chu was the only one left in the small kitchen. Without Xiao Cui's chattering, the kitchen suddenly became much quieter.
Without other people around, Yun Chu could check the personal tasks that the system had just released.
[Personal Mission]
[1. Cook the mung bean soup before 13:15-: today and deliver it to each owner’s residence in person]
[2. Let all servants in the mansion drink mung bean soup before 15:17 PM to : PM today]
[Complete both tasks to obtain personal rules. Complete only one or neither task is considered a task failure and you will not be able to obtain personal rules.]
Yun Chu carefully read through his personal tasks.
So she had to prepare the mung bean soup and send it to her masters before 3 o'clock this afternoon.
And she had to deliver it herself, not let other maids run errands for her.
Then, all the servants in the Lin Mansion had to drink her mung bean soup before five o'clock.
This looks simple but is difficult to do. How does she know how many servants there are in the mansion?
But then she thought that this was a good opportunity to investigate the Lin Mansion. After all, she was now a maid in the kitchen, and she spent most of her time in the kitchen. She had no reason to approach the masters' courtyard.
Delivering mung bean soup is a task and also an opportunity given to her by the system.
At the same time, Yun Chu suspected that other players should also have received personal tasks.
As long as they are players, their behavior will definitely be different from that of ordinary people. She can pay a little more attention when delivering mung bean soup.
With motivation, Yun Chu started to work. She put the mung beans that had been soaked for a while into the pot, added a few pieces of rock sugar, and then added water and boiled it.
It is not difficult, it just requires someone to wait all the time to prevent the bottom of the pot from getting burnt.
While waiting for the pot to boil, Yun Chu moved a small stool and sat at the door to enjoy the fresh air.
Although the small kitchen is next to the large kitchen, it is not used very often.
Looking at the surrounding displays, Yun Chu guessed that the small kitchen would only be used when entertaining guests or on important days such as Chinese New Year or other festivals when the big kitchen was too busy.
Compared to the occasional chopping sounds coming from the big kitchen and the voice of Mother Zhai scolding the servants, the small kitchen was quite quiet.
There was an unknown big tree in front of the small kitchen. Its green leaves covered half of the roof, blocking most of the sunlight.
Yun Chu sat at the door and enjoyed the rare tranquility, and his mood was relieved at this moment.
In the following time, Yun Chu stirred the mung bean soup in the pot from time to time. As time passed, the mung beans became softer and softer.
"Sister Yunchu, I'm here to bring you food!"
Xiao Cui carried her lunch box and walked into the small kitchen.
Only then did Yun Chu realize that it was almost time for lunch.
Opening the lunch box, Xiao Cui took out the dishes and placed them on the table. One meat dish, one vegetable dish and a bowl of rice. It was simple.
The meat dish was a small bowl of braised chicken nuggets, and the vegetarian dish was stir-fried Chinese cabbage. Although it was not very rich, it was considered good for a maid of Yun Chu's level.
"Mother Zhai said that mung bean soup cannot be made without people, so she asked me to pick up some vegetables and bring them to you. Don't worry, these are divided for you before eating, and they are not their leftovers."
Xiao Cui found a pair of chopsticks for Yun Chu as she spoke.
While Xiao Cui was finding chopsticks for her, Yun Chu checked the food. She felt relieved only after she was sure that there was nothing wrong with the food and that it was edible.
"I'll help you deliver the mung bean soup when it's ready. Otherwise, you may not be able to deliver it to so many courtyards by yourself."
Yun Chu had just picked up a piece of chicken and hadn't put it into her mouth when she heard Xiao Cui say she wanted to help her.
"I won't bother you. There are so many things to do in the big kitchen. Mother Zhai needs you more than me. Besides, it's just some mung bean soup. I can do it by myself."
Always be wary of other people's sudden kindness, because you don't know what their purpose is.
Yun Chu pretended to glance at Xiao Cui unintentionally, and just caught a glimpse of the fleeting disappointment on her face.
Sure enough, there was another person approaching her with a purpose, but what was Xiao Cui's purpose?
Is it just to get rewards from various courtyards after delivering mung bean soup?
Or is her target Mr. Lin?
However, these are all speculations. Yun Chu shouldn't be too suspicious of Xiao Cui until she reveals more of her thoughts.
"Okay then, but you can always call me if you need anything."
Xiao Cui soon smiled brightly again, as if she didn't take Yun Chu's rejection seriously.
After dinner, Yun Chu continued to cook mung bean soup. During this time, Mother Zhai came to see her once and asked someone to bring some ice cubes when the mung bean soup was ready.
After working all morning, Master Yun finally cooked the sweet mung bean soup in the bright sunshine at noon.
After the mung bean soup was completely cooled, Yun Chu poured ice cubes into it and stirred it a few times. It was completely successful.
Looking at the mung bean soup that was emitting bursts of cold air, Yun Chu suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart. After all, he made it with his own hands.
The next step was to send them to each courtyard one by one. This was a great opportunity for Yun Chu to explore the secrets of the Lin Mansion.
But before that, she had to send a bowl to Mother Zhai to try. She had promised before that she couldn't go back on her word. At least during this period of time, she still had to make a living from Mother Zhai.
However, the expected person appeared again.
"Sister Yun, let me help you deliver it to the master. I just want to take this opportunity to thank the master for saving my life."
