While talking, the man brought the ink that Bai Ko asked for from the storeroom, and the box that was also marked, which contained an ink suit, had a large bottle of ink and a small ink bottle, both of which were made of colored glass, and the bottle looked locally produced.

Probably because Bai Ko accurately told the history of the country, the shopkeeper was much happier in business, gave her a preferential price, and recommended a spare pen and a spare pen to her.

"Our Ufa Zaghi's nibs are made of very fine gems to make pen beads, this polishing process is our unique skill, not passed on, but the pen is a consumable, there will be wear and tear after a long time, affecting the flow of water, not to mention in case the hand slips and falls, the pen head is slightly deformed and can not write, if there is a spare pen or a spare pen at hand, you are not afraid of delays."

"Okay, the same pen number, and two spare pens, the pen barrel should be light, too heavy to write tired."

"Yes, yes, women's pens, not as gorgeous and expensive as yours, but enough for daily use."

The shopkeeper immediately took out the barrel, nib and tools from under the counter and expertly assembled them.

"Guest, your pen is a high-class gift, look at the exterior decoration to know that it is a gift brought by the mission led by Prince Darso four years ago, is there a velvet box? At that time, the mission gave a small batch of this to the nobles, and the rest was given to the merchants of the mission to sell, and other than that, we merchants could not buy the goods in our own country. You can use this money at home, don't use it outside, if it is seen by people who know the goods, it will be dangerous to you. ”

Bai Ko immediately put the pen in her purse.

"I need another pen, I write a lot every day, and three pens are enough."

The shopkeeper smiled happily and neatly put another one on the counter.

A set of ink and three pens, no matter how much the total price is discounted, it is still quite considerable, but fortunately, Bai Ko has saved some money in the past few months, and the cost is still affordable.

After paying, the pen was put into the purse, the ink box was wrapped in a furoshiki and carried in his hand, and the umbrella was held under the armpit.

Four years ago, for the sake of national unity, King Darso of Ranbao Zaji personally led an envoy to meet the Son of Heaven and offered beautiful women and all kinds of treasures in order to obtain aid and support.

In order to welcome this distinguished guest, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Kitchen have been discussing banquet menus and trying out new dishes a year in advance.

At that time, the head chef of the imperial kitchen was called Bai Yehong, who was Bai Ko's grandfather.

When the team of envoys led by King Darso entered the capital, the signboard of the imperial chef Bai had long since ceased to exist, and his family was separated.

It wasn't until the deity Bai Ko was practicing food carving that the carving knife cut through the tiger's mouth, and finally died of wound infection.

Then, the shell was replaced with an inner core.

When the Bai family had an accident, the deity Bai Ko was actually eight years old, she didn't know what happened at home at all, in her remaining memory fragments, there was only the chaos of soldiers raiding the house, and her grandmother desperately protected the box containing Bai's recipes from being taken away, but she was old and frail, and she was powerless to resist, and there was nothing left in the family soon.

All the women and children knelt in the front yard, and the officials took the household register to count the heads, and only the deity, Bai Ko, who was not yet 10 years old, was carried out alone, and never saw any of his family members again.

It wasn't until I heard people talk about gossip in the school that I learned that the Bai family of my grandfather Bai Yehong was sentenced to exile, but the mother's family, wife's family, daughter's mother-in-law's family, including other blood clansmen, were not affected, and they were allowed to continue to engage in the business of chefs or restaurants.

Immersed in the memories of the deity's past, Bai Ko wandered along the street unconsciously, suddenly awakened by the smell of barbecue, looked around, and saw the gate of a barbecue shop, a bright charcoal fire lined with all kinds of large meat skewers, the aroma of compound spices to stimulate the appetite, diners take a sip of wine and meat, so comfortable.

In front of this fragrance, the stomach couldn't bear it, Bai Ko walked over, asked the price, bought five skewers, scraped off the meat, wrapped it in lotus leaves, and then walked out of Yirenfang and sat on the river embankment to eat a large piece.

When you're not in a good mood, you have to eat and drink.

Bai Ko ate the whole package of barbecue, and went back to the shop to continue looking for food, and she went to line up to see which store was lined up for a long time, and after a few rounds of eating, it finally rained, and she was still wandering the streets with an umbrella, either to death or to spend all the money.

Almost after lunchtime, Bai Ko returned to the restaurant with a round belly, brought some fresh snacks to the hard-working guards, as well as a lot of interesting seasonings and ingredients, and saw the other young masters resting in the backyard, and exchanged names with each other.

The party of the noble son on the third floor came to an end, but he couldn't walk when he saw that it was raining outside, so he asked the store to withdraw the wine and food, and replaced it with a special hot drink, and a group of people chatted about the day, both sobering up and waiting for the rain to stop, and half of the people who came by car and half on horseback, and they couldn't let those young masters ride home in this autumn wind and autumn rain.

Bai Ko hid in the carriage and listened to the sound of the wind and rain to take a comfortable nap, and when she woke up in the middle and saw that the rain outside had not stopped, she continued to sleep, and when she woke up again, she couldn't sleep, and she was bored lying on the box and thinking nonsense.

Unknowingly, the bad things of the Bai family jumped into Bai Ko's mind again.

This small body is trapped in a soul from another world, longing for freedom but unable to do anything, the identity of the official maid is limited, and it is difficult to be a free man for generations, either it can prove that the Bai family is wronged and wronged, or look forward to an amnesty that does not know the year of the monkey, and the scope of the pardon includes the sins committed by the Bai family.

Bai Ko thought about it vigorously, and found that he didn't even know what crime Bai Yehong was convicted of, and the exile of the whole family should be a big crime, but if it didn't involve the clansmen, it shouldn't be a crime that was too strict.

Dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty, and exile of the whole family?

What kind of mistake does it have to be made to end up like this?

Bai Yehong was the head chef of the Seven Grades Imperial Kitchen at the time, and the consequences of his dereliction of duty were probably the consequences of the entire Imperial Kitchen.

Bai Ko thought about it, and if he wanted to understand the whole story of this case, he probably had to go to the Bai family or the grandmother and mother's maiden family to know, but thinking about the age of the deity at the time, he only had a vague impression of his grandfather's family in his mind, and after so many years, I don't know if they still live in the same place.

If it is really the fault of the men of the Bai family who are derelict in their work, they can only accept their fate.

Thinking of this, Bai Ko sighed deeply, and a sense of powerlessness spread through his body.
