Sure enough, as Zhou Ziming said, in the next two days, the housekeeper did not come to him, Xiao Ling was also happy, either sleeping or eating every day, and occasionally Zhao Wan'er would come over to play with Xiaoqiu.

Accompanied by beautiful women, although she can only take a few looks, this kind of thing makes Xiao Ling feel very comfortable.

However, he has not forgotten where he is, this kind of comfort is only short-lived, for the sake of the future, when Xiao Ling was alone in the past two days, he often looked through the books brought out from the Wuji Immortal Palace.

As early as after he was kicked out of the inn, he found a hidden place to bury a large burden of martial arts cheats.

Xiao Ling knew the value of these martial arts cheats, and walked with such a large package of books to passers-by, once they were discovered, they were afraid that they would lead to death.

For the safety of her own life, Xiao Ling naturally thought about it very carefully.

And the book of "Pure Yang Immortal Formula" he held in his hand at this time was only brought back by him yesterday under the pretext of going out.

I don't know if Xiao Ling's tireless research really made him figure out a little way, as if he had caught something in his mind, but he still couldn't figure it out for a while.

However, this is already great news for Xiao Ling, at least there is such a beginning, which proves that Xiao Ling's previous efforts were not in vain.

Perhaps it would not be long before he could regain his grasp of that mysterious energy.

That night, Zhou Ziming returned to the house after a busy day's work, and Xiao Ling quietly hid the "Pure Yang Immortal Formula".

This is his secret, although he has been getting along well with Zhou Ziming for a few days, he is not good enough to tell him such an important secret.

"Young Master, you are very idle! Poor me, I have been tired and tired all day, and I have not eaten yet. As soon as Zhou Ziming entered the room, he saw Xiao Ling half-leaning on the bed, looking at the book leisurely, and couldn't help but say sourly.

"Xiao Zhouzi, don't envy me, the housekeeper has already come to me just now, let me go to the kitchen tomorrow to do something. Xiao Ling said with a smile.

"Kitchen?" Zhou Ziming said in a daze, "How could you arrange to go there, what you do in that place is the most painful and tiring." ”

Xiao Ling didn't know this, as early as yesterday, he proposed to Zhao Wan'er that he hoped to be able to work in the kitchen in the future.

Thinking about it now, when Zhao Wan'er heard his request, her expression seemed to be the same as that of Zhou Ziming now.

It's just that in Xiao Ling's view, he was a chef in his previous life, and entering the kitchen is naturally the best choice, so that he can also take the opportunity to understand how chefs in this world cook, and when he learns how to use those cooking tools, combined with his rich experience, he will naturally be able to get rid of the current dilemma.

Xiao Ling was not willing to stay in the Zhao Mansion for the rest of his life and be a lowly slave.

At this time, Zhou Ziming came to Xiao Ling's side and said in a low voice: "You don't know, I heard that the strict housekeeper who is responsible for managing the kitchen is very strict, and his temper is a little irritable, and he often punishes his subordinates at every turn. ”

"Don't worry, as long as I do things honestly, there will be no problems. Xiao Ling said nonchalantly.

For him, whether it is a strict steward or a benevolent steward, he will not give up this opportunity.

Seeing Xiao Ling's nonchalant attitude, Zhou Ziming suddenly felt a little anxious, couldn't help pulling Xiao Ling's arm, and said urgently: "Haven't you gotten along well with the eldest lady in the past two days, the eldest lady is the most kind-hearted, do you want to go to her to ask for mercy and ask her to help you arrange for other places?"

In fact, the two have only known each other for three days, but at this time, Zhou Ziming looked anxious about his affairs, and Xiao Ling was also a little moved in his heart.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ling immediately said: "Don't worry, I took the initiative to raise this matter to the eldest lady, and now you let me go to the eldest lady, so capricious, didn't it annoy her?"

When Zhou Ziming heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Xiao Ling with some incredulity.

Xiao Ling patted Zhou Ziming on the shoulder, and then said: "Actually, I have always had a dream, I want to have my own restaurant in the future, and make delicious food that everyone in the world praises. ”

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Zhou Ziming sighed and said, "Okay, since you insist on this, I won't persuade you, but you better be careful, otherwise you will inevitably be whipped." ”

Xiao Ling smiled, put Zhou Ziming's concern in his heart, and then changed the topic and said, "Don't talk about me, talk about you!"

"I? What do I have to say? Zhou Ziming said puzzled.

"I just told you about my dreams, so it's only fair that you can also tell your dreams. Xiao Ling joked and said, "Could it be that you don't have a dream?"

"How is it possible, my dreams are much bigger than yours, how can I be as unproductive as you. Zhou Ziming looked at Xiao Ling with disdain and said proudly.

"Then you should talk about it, let me admire and admire!"

Zhou Ziming raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "My greatest wish in this life is to become the number one forging master in the mainland, and then let me replace Old Man Cai and become the most powerful forging master in the Zhao Mansion." ”

Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he chatted with Zhou Ziming in the past two days, and naturally knew that the old man Cai in his mouth was the forger hired by the Zhao Mansion now.

It's just that Zhou Ziming said it really interestingly, and Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh and said: "When have you ever seen the world's number one forger willing to work for a family? ”

When Zhou Ziming heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a long time.

The two laughed like this for a while, and then went to sleep, but Xiao Ling, who was lying on the bed, still recalled the inexplicable feeling just now in her mind, and she didn't know how long it took before she gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Xiao Ling and Zhou Ziming left together, but the places where the two were going were different, Zhou Ziming naturally went to find the forging room, and Xiao Ling said today that he was going to the kitchen to report.

According to Zhou Ziming's guidance, Xiao Ling wandered around for most of the day, and finally found the kitchen with difficulty in this huge Zhao Mansion.

As soon as she stepped into the small courtyard belonging to the kitchen, Xiao Ling heard a chaotic sound coming from inside, and from time to time a wisp of fragrance wafted out, which made Xiao Ling feel as if she was back to the time when she was a chef before.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ling buried this wisp of thought in the depths of her heart, and then strode in.

However, his feet had only taken half a step, and an extremely stern reprimand came from the side.

"What house are you from, and what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Xiao Ling was startled by this sudden voice, and almost didn't stand firm in the steps she had just taken.

Looking back in a little confusion, he found that he didn't know when a middle-aged man was standing behind him, looking at the person's housekeeper dress, Xiao Ling's heart moved, and then asked tentatively: "Are you a strict housekeeper?"

Steward Yan looked at Xiao Ling carefully, and then said, "Yes, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Xiao Ling was confirmed, and he also muttered to himself in his heart, this Yan steward's voice is really worthy of the name, it seems that what Zhou Ziming told him yesterday was not exaggerated.

However, thinking about it, Xiao Ling still replied honestly on the surface: "I am the subordinate who was recruited a few days ago, my name is Xiao Ling." ”

"Are you the Xiao Ling who was picked up by the eldest lady after being hungry and fainted?" Steward Yan said suddenly.

When Xiao Ling heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Yan steward seemed to look down on him very much in his tone, but he didn't need to be serious.

At this time, Steward Yan immediately said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Steward Yu told me yesterday, did you come to report today? Why did you not show up until now?"

Xiao Ling was a little depressed, and then said embarrassedly: "I came first, and I didn't know the way, so I delayed the ...... halfway."

Who knows, before the words were finished, Steward Yan waved his hand and interrupted: "No matter what the reason, it is a fact that you are late, for the sake of you being the first to make a mistake, I will not punish you heavily, go and chop the pile of firewood in the yard, if you don't finish it before dark, then you don't have to eat today." ”

As he spoke, Steward Yan casually pointed to the corner of the courtyard.

Xiao Ling looked in the direction pointed by Steward Yan, and her eyes couldn't help but widen.

Looking at the pile of wood that was enough to be a hill, Xiao Ling secretly felt bitter in his heart, such a lot, not to mention whether he could finish splitting before dark, and after he finished splitting, he was afraid that he would be tired and prostrate.

Looking at Xiao Ling's appearance, the corner of Steward Yan's mouth sneered slightly, and then said lightly: "Okay, don't be stunned, hurry up and go to work, remember that you are not allowed to eat until it is done before dark, if I find out that you are stealing food, you will have a good look!"

After speaking, Steward Yan ignored Xiao Ling and walked straight in.

Seeing Steward Yan leaving, Xiao Ling couldn't help but scold Steward Yan in his heart, but he also knew that he had no resistance at the moment, and since he couldn't resist, he could only accept it honestly.

Walking to the hill-like pile of wood, looking at the axe in front of him, which was already a little dull, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh at the sky.

I knew it earlier, so I would be the young palace master of the Wuji Immortal Palace, with fine clothes and jade food every day, and a delicate and lovely maid to serve him, it would be better than being a subordinate in this Zhao Mansion and being called like this.

It's just that Xiao Ling is just thinking about it casually, if he really wants him to go back, he will definitely not do it, after all, his life is still important.
