In fact, Xiao Ao felt quite embarrassed by Lao Tan's request, this request can be said to be big or small, he originally had to hesitate, but Lao Tan then promised that if Xiao Ao helped with this, he would provide him with a large number of spiritual vegetables at one time.

At that moment, Xiao Ao agreed as soon as he was excited.

Almost the next morning, Xiao Ao did it, he is also a child of the Xiao family, and he is the kind that is related by blood, although his status is a little low due to the problem of talent, but it is still possible to transfer a cook to the outer courtyard as a handyman.

As for the position of the original chef of the South Cemetery, he can be replaced by a random person, and in this regard, the three children of the Xiao family who are responsible for guarding the South Cemetery will definitely not ask about such a "trivial matter".

After getting the order, Lao Tan set off for the outer courtyard on the same day, and designed to find the corpses of a group of rats that night, disguised as rats stealing spiritual vegetables.

Of course, this kind of cleverness can only be used once, and it is very risky, but in order to buy Xiao Ao, you have to take the risk once. Fortunately, this matter did not arouse the suspicion of the three Xiao family disciples, and Lao Tan successfully stole a small part of the spiritual vegetables from it.

Lao Tan divided the stolen spiritual vegetables into two parts, one for Xiao Ao and the other for himself.

As for why Lao Tan did everything possible to transfer to the outer courtyard of the Xiao family, it was Lao Tan who decided after thinking about it, the South Cemetery was just a small place after all, if he wanted to find more "food", he could only go to the outer courtyard of the Xiao family, and even if he had the opportunity in the future, he would still want to enter the inner courtyard.

After reporting to the outer courtyard, Lao Tan was arranged to the place where the miscellaneous servants lived, and I have to say that in the outer courtyard, this kind of place cannot be compared with the South Cemetery, the outer courtyard is full of people, and the place where they live is shared by a group of people, and the environment is far worse than the hut in the South Cemetery.

"You, you're cooking here from today." A yellow-bearded man in a brown cloth shirt led Lao Tan to the kitchen of the outer courtyard, this person's name was Yang Dequan, and he was the leader of the miscellaneous servants in the outer courtyard.

Lao Tan used to work as a cook in the South Cemetery, but now that he has come to the outer courtyard of the Xiao family, his work is naturally also a cook.

"Thank you, foreman, you see, I don't have any good things on me, these tea leaves are wild picked in the South Cemetery, I hope you can laugh at it."

As a white-collar worker who has been rolling in the global workplace, Lao Tan still knows some ways of being a person, and if he wants to integrate into a new working environment as soon as possible, it is necessary to have a good boss with him.

Although tea is not a rare thing, but the reason that many people are not strange is the same there, Yang Dequan put away Lao Tan's tea, his expression was somewhat soft, and he said with a smile: "Little ghost, you are very good at being a person, for your sake, you can be responsible for cooking rice, you don't have to go to carry water and chop wood." ”

Working as a kitchen handyman in the outer courtyard, in addition to cooking, there are obviously other jobs, and some worthless tea can save some heavy work, Lao Tan is naturally secretly happy, but on the surface, he respectfully said: "Foreman Xie." ”

"By the way, I will give you another piece of advice, be careful of Zhao Han, the foreman of the external affairs room, your position as a kitchen handyman in the outer courtyard is to replace one of his relatives, because of your relationship, his relative has now been transferred to the South Cemetery, Zhao Han is afraid that he will be angry with you."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes, even if you want to be alone, you can't do it, hearing Yang Dequan's reminder, Lao Tan thanked him repeatedly.

After sending Yang Dequan away, Lao Tan began to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, and he didn't care about the guy named Zhao Han, after all, he was a monk now, and a mere mortal would not threaten him.

"Everyone, there are beautiful women to see, ...... quickly"

Lao Tan walked around outside and was about to go back, when he passed a small square, a handyman suddenly shouted, only to see him excitedly said: "It's Miss Xiao Er, she is back today." ”

Hearing the handyman's words, all kinds of wolf howls came from Lao Tan's ears, until Yang Dequan came out at this time and said loudly: "Quiet, Miss Xiao Er is back, how excited are you?" Let the steward see that you all have to get out. ”

As soon as Yang Dequan's voice fell, everyone immediately dared not speak out again.

The full name of the Zhu steward in Yang Dequan's mouth is Zhu Wanli, and he is the chief housekeeper of the Xiao family, responsible for all the chores of the Xiao family, including the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, which shows his high status.

"The second miss is back today, you all put a good posture for me, now come with me to the mountain gate to meet the second miss." Yang Dequan finally said.

Unexpectedly, on the first day he was transferred to work in the outer courtyard, he encountered the rumored big day when the second miss of the Xiao family came back, and Lao Tan couldn't help but secretly call for good luck.

This second young lady's name is Xiao Qingyan, she is the second daughter of the sect master of the Xiao family, she has been talented and intelligent since she was a child, and has an extremely rare thunder spirit root.

In the immortal cultivation realm of the Longyuan Continent, the cultivation of monks from low to high is Qi refining, foundation building and knotting, these three stages are also called "small realm", and there are "middle realms" above them, which are Yuan Ying, Out of Body and Transformation Gods. As for the remaining "Great Realm", there is no record of even the oldest immortal cultivation sect in the Longyuan Continent, only that it is rumored that after reaching the "Great Realm", it can soar in the day and become a real immortal body.

For Lao Tan, there is naturally no need to think about such a distant matter, you must know that in the entire Longyuan Continent, there are only a handful of monks in the eighty-eight countries of Kyushu who can step into the "middle realm", let alone the unattainable "great realm".

The road to cultivating immortals is extremely difficult, only one spirit root person can enter the qi refining stage among 100,000 mortals, and only one person of the 1,000 qi refining period cultivators can build a Dao foundation and step into the foundation building period, and the next up to the Dan stage naturally does not need much, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as rare.

Take the Xiao family where Lao Tan is now, I heard that Xiao Hao, the sect leader of the Xiao family, is a monk in the late stage of foundation building, don't look at the difference between the foundation building period and the qi refining period is only one realm, but the difference is actually unimaginable, the monk of the thirteenth layer of Qi refining is almost the same as the difference between a baby and an adult in front of the monk in the foundation building period, and a small cultivation like Lao Tan's current three-layer qi refining is no different from an ant.

Xiao Hao's second daughter, that is, Xiao Qingyan, built the Dao foundation half a year ago, she is indeed worthy of such a supreme talent as Lei Linggen, she has been cultivating for more than ten years, and she has entered the foundation building period at the age of only twenty, and this kind of cultivation speed is probably unique in the entire Shaoyang Kingdom and even Wolong Prefecture.

Xiao Qingyan's becoming a monk in the foundation building period undoubtedly caused a lot of sensation, and she returned to the Xiao family today according to her master's order, precisely to consolidate her Dao heart in order to consolidate her Dao heart.

When Lao Tan followed everyone to the mountain gate of the outer courtyard, there were already many people gathered there, blocking the entire mountain gate inside and out.

Seeing such a big scene for the first time, Lao Tan couldn't help but mutter, "It's an exaggeration." ”

It can be seen that the Xiao family attaches great importance to Xiao Qingyan's return today, not only the entire Xiao family almost all came out to greet him, but even the high-level officials of the Xiao family, who rarely show up, have all arrived.

I saw that on the welcoming platform at the mountain gate, including the sect leader Xiao Hao, all the high-level officials of the inner courtyard of the Xiao family were gathered, and when the time was about the same, an auspicious cloud suddenly floated in the distance.

Lao Tan looked up with the commotion of the crowd, and the next moment, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
