Chapter 42: A Friend Comes to the Door
Kidding, he'd already asked Mia to prepare half a jar, or a half jar would be more appropriate.
According to the current consumption rate of the family, it will be more than enough to eat next year.
What's more, Phil knows that since this thing became popular in this family, Mia and the others have prepared a lot of private goods for themselves in private, how can they not have it for a month.
It seems that greedy moths are everywhere.
Aunt Mia, who was wronged, was full of grievances, feeling that her professional ethics had been tarnished, and explained with a white face.
"In addition to the normal consumption of the family these days, I also sent a jar to Earl Snape of Gokan City, and a jar to Councilor Smith of the Imperial Capital. ”
"Then there should be more, how do I remember that you prepared at least four large jars. Phil stared at the stocky cook, with a look in which I knew everything, and you couldn't hide it from me.
Mia didn't argue this time, but paused for a moment before whispering: "The family has a large population, and they have eaten a little more recently, and the rest has been given to Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Gwen by Mrs. Catherine, and Mrs. Lady has been eating out for lunch these days." ”
Oh, I see, there are thousands of precautions, and it is difficult to prevent thieves.
Mrs. Lord Stewart and Mrs. Gwen are both my mother's hardcore best friends.
Where is she going out to eat, these days she has eaten and vomited in different patterns, which is obviously showing off all over the world.
I don't know if it's to show off sesame oil, or to show that her son has the ability.
This old lady of the loser, Phil complained secretly.
Since it's no wonder that Aunt Mia is no wonder, he is embarrassed to make trouble unreasonably.
"Then make some light at noon, and prepare some sesame oil in the afternoon." Phil felt that he was very empathetic.
"It's gone, it's out of season, there's no raw materials, this thing is a weed, and it's ready to be cleaned up.
Except for what our family left at that time, other families have already chopped it up and thrown it into the lake as fish food. ”
Mia also resented in her heart, the little stock she had made herself, except for a few stewards in the family, was all taken by Catherine.
Now there is a small jar of private goods in the small box under her bed.
It doesn't matter if you give it to the little fat man, but it can't be so easy, take it as it should, you have to remember me.
Completely speechless, waving his hand, Phil turned around and walked away with a lonely face.
It's impossible to settle this account with Catherine, and in the past few years, it's easy to raise her eyebrows in front of outsiders, no wonder she.
So what should I get something fresh to eat in the future, Phil frowned and pondered, this is a typical lack of ambition, scratching his mouth all day long.
While pondering, Campbell's butler sent someone to tell his friend that he had come to the door and that he was having tea in the living room.
Friend?
Listening to this slightly unfamiliar word, Phil was confused, he didn't have any friends now, could it be those little kids?
When I arrived in the main hall, I could really be regarded as a friend, and of course I was a little kid.
Jasmine Collins, the little girl at the banquet who was pulled into pigtails and cried so much.
Next to him was a big stupid man, Duke Vane Jr.
The two families were originally neighbors, but it seems that little Duke is more like a brother, almost inseparable from the little girl, for fear that she will be bullied by someone again.
Phil really thinks that this stupid boy's cognition is probably very problematic, people are good at a little beauty, not to mention that everyone loves her, and flowers bloom, but who will always bully her for no reason?
At least half of this is probably due to your involvement.
Although he was disdainful in his heart, as a way of hospitality, he still greeted him with a happy smile on his face.
After a few simple greetings, Phil knew the meaning of the little girl.
Or for the sake of the events at the banquet that day, the little girl insisted on thanking Phil in person.
After all, at the critical moment, it was Phil who stepped forward and made the dispute quickly resolved.
It's just that after the banquet, Jasmine cried hard, suffered from the wind and cold, was sick for a few days, and couldn't go out until now.
It can be seen that Miss Jasmine's tutor is very good.
Although it was the first time to come to the door, he behaved generously, especially the smile was very kind and sincere, and he couldn't see the embarrassed appearance and contrived expression that day.
It is in stark contrast to the figure in the back, which is a little awkward and always pretends to be a tree.
As the host, Phil brought out some candy and snacks that children loved, and warmly invited the two to visit his home.
A few simple little jokes made the little girl laugh.
Jasmine, who was already clean and refreshing, combed her ball hair today, and she looked cute and cute with a small face.
Especially the black and bright hair color, which made Phil feel a long-lost closeness, this little girl is really likeable.
"Don't leave at noon, let's have lunch together, there are good things, I promise you have never eaten. Phil happily extended the invitation.
As for the problem of sesame oil, let Mia solve it, who has starved to death in these years?
In the end, Jasmine and the others didn't stay, and it was too early, so they left before nine o'clock.
Compared with the lively and enthusiastic Jasmine, from beginning to end, the dead-faced child did not speak more than three sentences, but kept following Jasmine, silent and restrained, making people feel that this was not a child.
The little girl is so cute, sensible and beautiful, I really want to snatch her from some dead child and raise her as my own sister.
Thinking of his sister's topic, he played Catherine's idea again.
Since having herself, Catherine has focused all her energy on herself, and Matthew has been away all year round, and has never heard them talk about raising another one, and it seems that the husband and wife have a tacit understanding.
Perhaps Catherine should be tempted to take possession of almost all of this woman's love, but deprived her of the right and joy to continue to be a mother, which made Phil feel a little guilty, he knew that he could not be so selfish.
Since Jasmine and the two came once, it seemed that some kind of prohibition had been opened, and the exchanges between the little ones had suddenly increased.
When the little girl came, she also brought a gift, although it was a worthless snack, but it was also a heartfelt gesture from others.
So, the little fat man also brought back gifts according to etiquette, which were all carefully prepared by him, and he felt that the little girl of five or six years old might like things.
And, of course, a small jar of sesame oil.
Mia's fat cook lady really has a deep Taoism in Luoma Town, and I don't know where to get the raw materials, so it took a full afternoon and saved a lot.
This time, Phil felt that even if he drank the oil directly as tea, he would be able to drink it until next year.
Even if you have never raised children, it is not difficult to guess the possible preferences of a little girl of this age.
Jasmine was pleasantly surprised by his arrival, especially the Peppa Pig pillow embroidered with it and the HelloKitty handkerchief.
A certain dead-faced child is still staying at Jasmine's house, playing games like playing with the little girl.
After being broken by Phil, the little man wearing the pink flower turned a rare flush, said hello and hurriedly fled to the back room, leaving only laughter.
Of course, Phil also prepared a gift for him, a small, beautifully carved wooden sword, modeled after the Xuanyuan sword.
The little kid who took off the flower on his head thanked him with a red face, and it could be seen that he liked it very much.
After going back and forth, several children of the same age got acquainted, and later joined Anna and two or three other little children one after another.
Every month, in addition to his fixed period of sleep, groups of little ones can be seen everywhere in Lok Ma Town, and a small circle has been firmly established.
The farm pens, the grove behind the lord's house, the reed pond by the lake, and at most of the time in Phil or Anna's room.
It all depends on whether the game today is about a wild adventure initiated by Phil or a role-playing beloved by a few girls.
Catherine was so pleased with her son's recent changes that she almost cried tears of joy, and was so enthusiastic about it.
Every day, I personally prepared a variety of snacks and snacks, stuffed the mouths and pockets of several children.
Especially for Anna and Jasmine, the two little girls are particularly fond of it, although the craftsmanship is a little trendy, but it is barely possible to make a few simple pillows and head flowers according to the appearance of his son's paintings.
Sure enough, the little gift was so popular that the little girls called her from Mrs. Snape to Aunt Catherine, which made the woman's heart bloom.
Of course, ordinary fabrics and slightly rough embroidery also avoid embarrassing a few ordinary family children because the gifts are too expensive.
