Chapter 108: The Unitary Clock
Where does this sudden feeling come from? Is it because it is too easy to get a job and a place to live?
I turned on my phone and looked at the time, and it was only more than two hours since I entered the city in the early morning, and the time on the screen was just past 11 o'clock.
Because he was in the same carriage as Sikong Yu in the carriage these days, he didn't dare to take out his mobile phone to look at it when he had nothing to do, so he had to sleep, so even if he had such a soft bed in front of him, he was not sleepy at all.
After settling down with the small luggage, I flipped through the snack recipes downloaded from my phone, and then saw that it was still early, so I simply put away my phone and went out to the garden.
Most of the buildings in the garden are linked by corridors, and the cloisters in front of each courtyard are hung with flower-shaped wooden signs marked with numbers, which are about the house number and room number here, which is indeed to avoid the trouble of getting lost.
At noon, Yilanlou sank in silence, and occasionally a few maids working in the garden also tiptoed, for fear of making a loud noise and alarming the resting flower girls.
As early as when I first entered the flower street, I learned from Sikong Yu that the flower street in this world is somewhat similar to the 'green building' that I have seen in the novel and TV series in the past, the difference is that it also assumes the role of the country's public relations center, from the decision of government affairs in the palace to the reconciliation of neighborhood contradictions, you can go to the flower street, but of course it is not the people of the flower street who come forward to say anything, what the flower street provides is just a place for people to relax and be happy.
The various education that the flower girls have received since entering the flower street includes the skills of conversation and communication, and the clever Zhou Xuan is among the guests and links the topics of the guests, so that the people of the royal capital are proud to be able to come to the flower street to deal with things.
Although the corridor in the garden is only about three people wide, it does not affect the maid who works, and Hua Mian was stopped when she staggered past a maid holding a rattan basket, "I'm sorry, which of these two baskets of clothes is from Ju Shiwu?" ”
It turned back to a young maid working in the laundry room, presumably to return the laundry.
Hua Mian glanced at the wooden sign hanging on the side of the rattan basket, "The top is Ju Shisan, and the basket below is Ju Shiwu."
After thanking the little maid and leaving, Hua Mian looked at the figure of the other party leaving, can't you read? I have also encountered this situation in Sikong Mansion before, it seems that the education level here is not fully popular, and when I first arrived in this world, because I didn't understand the situation, I once showed that I was literate, which may make the other party doubt my identity as a homeless person.
After returning to the residence to sit for a while, it was time for the kitchen staff to go to work, and a maid called Ying'er came to Huamian's residence early to greet her.
"The chefs don't have to go to the kitchen in advance, the food delivery person will arrive soon, and Sister Li'er told me to pick up Chef Xia to choose the dishes."
Unlike Sikong Fu, where all purchases are handled by the purchasing office, there are specialized occupations such as food delivery people on Flower Street, who deliver food to the door for each chef to choose, as well as specialized fishmongers and butchers.
People who enter the flower street to work according to the rules of the flower street, especially the flower girl, are not allowed to leave the flower street before the end of the agreed work period, so talking with these traveling merchants who do business among the restaurants in the flower street has also become a channel to obtain information from the outside world.
After choosing the dishes needed for the day, I told the maid to take the vegetable vendor to the back counter to collect the account, and here I heard a few bells ringing in the distance.
"Listen to the number of times, this is the unitary clock, and it has entered the unitary time," Ying'er next to him explained, "In the royal capital, the unitary clock is also called the lower work clock by the people, reminding everyone that the day's work is over and you can rest."
"But here in Flower Street, the unitary clock is our clock," Ying'er smiled playfully, "Okay, we're going back to work too"
