Chapter 525: Know how to promote yourself
The two snuggled up and chatted, sharing all kinds of gossip that they had heard in the past few days of winter hunting, and Bai Ko told all kinds of stories, but he concealed one.
The matter of exchanging chowder meat sauce for freedom, Bai Ko is tight-lipped, this is her secret, unless the saint himself says it, she will not tell anyone anyway.
If the masters in the house use a little trick to seize her power, and no longer let her go out casually, she can't get support from the outside world, and the agreement of the meat sauce will naturally be nullified, so she will really be an official maid for a lifetime.
Now that the identities are not equal, it is really easy for the masters to clean up a girl.
Bai Ko didn't mind speculating on the intentions of his masters with the greatest malice, although they have always been kind to themselves, but it is still the old saying, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Although Gu Yun was happy to hold Bai Ko and chat all day, the girls outside had to ask what kind of food to prepare through the door during the meal, which interrupted Gu Yun's interest in continuing to chat, Bai Ko patted the petty grumpy Shizi comfortingly, and asked him what he wanted to eat, straighten his hair and clothes, put on his shoes and went out to the small kitchen to cook.
After filling her stomach, Bai Ko returned to the ear room and continued to think about the planning of the new workshop, Gu Yun sat next to her and read a book, but after a while, she crawled to Bai Ko's side to harass her, Bai Ko rolled her eyes and glared at him with disgust, Gu Yun found a reason to do the right thing, the three of them were going to get married a year ago, and they had to buy gifts for them to add makeup and boxes.
As soon as the topic was opened, they couldn't hold it anymore, and the two patronized and chatted again, not doing anything that should have been done, and the whole day passed like this.
Everyone got up a little late the next morning, but the journey was tiring, and the body had to be fully rested, which was inevitable, anyway, the prince was the only master in Zhongming Courtyard, and he himself slept until three poles in the morning, so he didn't mind the girls getting up a little late.
The big master and the team who came back by land arrived home today, Gu Yun went to the front yard after breakfast to handle the external affairs with the big housekeeper, and now at the end of the year, there are more things to be sent, Gu Yun can't be lazy in this world, and he has to share the burden for his parents.
Bai Ko took her dagger to the street to Lao Tie's house to help her with the blade, and then she had to inspect the workshops and shops, and after walking for so many days, she had to take a look at the business when she came back.
"Busy?"
Bai Ko stood at the door of Lao Tie's house and glanced at it, the father and son were working, and Ding Ding was a part of the local zuò scale.
"Oops! The white steward is here, please come inside, sit in the house, it's cold outside, and drink hot tea in the house! Lao Tie's family was very enthusiastic to put down the work in their hands and came forward to say hello.
"Don't worry, I'll come to you for a favor, I got a new dagger, I didn't open the blade, you open it for me." Bai Ko pulled the plain-looking dagger from his belt and handed it over.
"A dagger without a blade? So new? I'll take a look first. ”
Lao Tie pulled out the blade of the knife, and saw the forging pattern on the blade that could only be formed after thousands of blows, and the father and son cried out in surprise.
"That's good stuff! Can the white butler tell me where he got it? ”
"Oh, the things that the saints rewarded during the winter hunt, the things given by the emperor, made by the craftsmen under the Ministry of War, are at least equipped by centurions in the army."
Bai Ko understated and pretended to be forced lightly, but Lao Tie's father and son swallowed their saliva, and instantly seemed to be holding a thousand-pound holy relic in their hands.
"The Imperial Gift?! Call me to cut the blade?! ”
"You won't drive? Then I'll find someone else. Bai Ko's eyes widened, and he reached out to retrieve the dagger.
"Don't don't, don't, don't, white butler! I'll open, I'll open! If the blade is fast, it will be advisable to wait, I will do it, you wait for a while. Lao Tie hurriedly protected it, for fear that Bai Ko would really snatch it back, the royal gift, who doesn't want to touch it for a while.
"How long will it take? I just came back from my winter hunt yesterday, and I want to wait for you to get back on my errand. ”
"If the white butler still wants to go to the workshop to have a look, just go, and when you come back, you will make sure that the blade has been opened."
"Sharpen it well, this is a self-defense weapon specially given to me by the sage Nian when I was attacked in the summer, don't sharpen it for me into a kitchen knife." Different uses of knives, the blade has different grinding angles, and the dagger is first and foremost a kitchen knife, and the blade is really laughable.
"Steward Bai, if I sharpen this dagger into a kitchen knife for you, my blacksmith shop will immediately close down, and your hands will be at your disposal, and our family will completely change careers and never do this business again." Lao Tie patted his cheek, "I can't afford to lose this person." ”
Bai Ko laughed at him and withdrew his hand, "Okay, since you said so, I'll open it for you, I'll get it back, don't show it off to others, if the royal gift is damaged or lost, you will lose your head." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare! Absolutely don't dare! The father and son of the Tie family were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they waved their hands again and again.
Bai Ko was still not at ease after thinking about it, so she left a guard to watch in case the neighbors came to join in the fun, and then she took the other guards and walked straight to the workshop.
Lao Tie and his son welcomed the guards into the back room to roast the fire and drink tea, and showed the dagger to the wife in the house.
The surrounding neighbors had already seen Bai Ko coming, and saw her at the door talking for a while before leaving, and then the Tie family entered the inner room and then ran out, so they curiously stepped forward to chat about family life, and inquired about gossip, and the sharp-eyed people saw that Lao Tie had an extra dagger with a pattern in his hand and was cutting the blade, and immediately a group of people went over to watch, and the guards hurriedly came out of the inner room to maintain order.
The news that Bai Ko had a royal dagger spread quickly among the neighbors, and the neighbors quickly linked the dagger with the Holy Grace, and they envied Bai Ko's fortune as the head, and he deserved to be the best subordinate of the Yeguo Mansion.
After turning around the workshop and the big car dealership, Bai Ko returned to Lao Tie's house to get a dagger, and was startled by the crowd surrounding his door, she had spent a lot of time patrolling back and forth this time, but she didn't expect there to be so many lively things.
When the neighbors saw Bai Ko coming back, they greeted her warmly, and Bai Ko also responded to them with a smile, and walked into Tie's house quickly.
Lao Tie took out the dagger with a good blade for Bai Ko to check, as a professional cook, he is naturally an expert in knives, and after a little inspection, he will know that the blade is right, not to mention that the guard she left behind also played a supervisory role to ensure that no mistakes occurred.
After putting away the dagger, Lao Tie built a leather belt again to match her arrow-sleeved robe, so that the scabbard could be firmly fixed on the belt, which was not only beautiful, but also convenient.
Bai Ko felt that this was reasonable, so he quickly wrote it down, and then went out to find a cobbler to make the belt.
Coming out of the cobbler's shop, Bai Ko finally went to the fresh shop to have a look, and learned about the business these days before returning home.
