Time Travel Adventure
Chapter 4: Manxianglou
After hesitating for a long time, I finally got dressed. When I came out, I saw Yaoyao standing at the door.
Yaoyao said she would help me comb my hair. She quickly combed it into a single spiral and inserted a wooden hairpin on it. The hairpin was very ordinary, except that the end was bent into a small wavy shape.
I really need to learn this skill. "Sister Yaoyao, why do you wear a veil?" Now we were sitting together, and I felt more energetic after taking a bath. I suddenly became interested in her veil.
"Because I was born ugly, my parents sold me here. Customers are disgusted by me. I am only good at cooking and can work in a restaurant. This place is also short of odd jobs, so my mother let me stay here."
"Who is the mother?"
"Mother is the boss here, let us all call her Mother."
"As for Zhisuke, your mother brought you to my place so that you can do chores with me. It will be a bit tiring, but you won't have to go hungry." My eyes suddenly dimmed.
I thought of my mother, the way she was angry with me, and the happiness of being together with a big family. A feeling of loneliness arose spontaneously, and I couldn't help but cry.
Yaoyao saw me crying and took out a handkerchief to wipe my tears. "I won't ask anymore. Don't be sad."
"My family was originally very happy, but later on that man sold us here."
"You're really a poor girl. It's okay. I'll take care of you here from now on." Yaoyao hugged me and stroked my shoulders, trying to give me some comfort.
"Oh, the little girl is still alive. Then leave her to you as a handyman. She is so ugly. Raise her for a few years and see what happens." After saying that, the mother left. I looked blankly at the direction she walked.
"Don't look at it anymore. You will have to work hard later." Yaoyao touched my little head.
As we were talking, a servant came over. He was dressed in plain light-colored clothes and asked, "Yaoyao, is the thing Miss Juan wanted ready?" "Yes, yes, I'll get it right away."
Yaoyao brought out a plate of cakes, which gave off an alluring aroma. "The peach blossom cakes that Miss Juan ordered are ready." The servant took the plate and left.
"It smells so good, what is that?" I was attracted by the fragrance.
"Nosuke, come here. I still have two pieces left." My eyes lit up when I heard that, and I jumped and followed Yaoyao into the kitchen. The kitchen was quite big, more than 100 square meters, and had everything.
I was stunned. Are kitchen utensils and vegetables so complete in this era?
"It's very big, right? Here are food prepared for the girls and pastries for the guests. Come and try them and see if they're delicious." Yaoyao brought a plate with two lifelike pink pastries shaped like peach blossoms on it.
I have not seen such craftsmanship many times in modern times. "It looks so good, I can't bear to eat it."
"Food is meant to be eaten, come and try it."
I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth. The pastry melted in my mouth, and an indescribable light floral fragrance burst out from my mouth. The sweetness was just right. Even I, who didn’t like desserts much before, couldn’t help but praise it.
"It's delicious, Sister Yaoyao, you're amazing." She praised without thinking. Yaoyao was very happy to be praised.
"Zhizhu, your name is hard to pronounce. I'll just call you Lele from now on. It's easier to pronounce."
"Sure." I began to ask Sister Yaoyao about the things here.
It turns out that this city is called Kunnu City, and Kunnu City is the most prosperous place for entertainment nearby.
This brothel is called Manxianglou, and it is the largest brothel in Kunnu City. The girls inside are all stunningly beautiful, so the consumption is also high, and those who come here are all dignitaries.
Ordinary-looking girls who came here were sent to other brothels by their mothers. I was sold here by that man and became a servant of Yaoyao because Yaoyao was too busy to take care of me.
We chatted about everything and before we knew it, it was getting dark. I helped out during this time, but I was not tall enough and had to stand on a chair.
I helped to cut vegetables, but I was clumsy holding the knife. Fortunately, I had helped my mother cook before, so I knew a little bit.
After finishing my work, I was so tired that I sat on the stool and didn't want to move. I don't know when Yaoyao came behind me and said, "Come here, I have something delicious."
I was given one wrapped in oil paper. When I opened it, it turned out to be a chicken leg, sizzling with oil. I was drooling at the sight.
"No, sister Yaoyao, you eat. You have been busy all day and I didn't do anything. You eat." Yaoyao touched my little head.
"I stay here every day and I'm a little tired of eating." I thought for a long time and came to a conclusion.
"Then we'll each have half." Yaoyao didn't refuse and they each started eating half.
I don’t know how it’s made, but the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and it’s juicy and very delicious.
After eating, sister Yaoyao took us to the roof to look at the stars. There was no air pollution in the ancient weather.
The stars in the sky are so bright that you can’t take your eyes off them. It seems like you can touch them with your hands. I feel like a child, wanting to reach out and grab the stars.
"Where are the people? The guests are coming, prepare the food quickly!" A voice abruptly interrupted the beautiful scene.
I looked at the source of the voice with a bit of displeasure, and saw that it was the servant from today. After the servant finished speaking, he walked away with disgust like the guard, not caring whether Yaoyao heard it or not.
"Let's go, we need to get ready." Yaoyao said as she climbed down the wooden ladder and even carried me down. "Sister Yaoyao, there is clearly a place to prepare food, why do you need to do it?"
"Some guests like the food I cook, which is why my mother is willing to keep me here."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Yaoyao started making pastries. I couldn't help at all. I could only pinch some dough and play with it on the side.
I saw Xiaoyao shaping the dough with her nimble fingers. After a while, a pair of lifelike rabbits were put into the steamer.
Xiaoyao had already made six, but I could only finish one that looked nothing like a rabbit. It didn’t look like a rabbit, and it was so ugly. I reached out to destroy it.
Yaoyao put hers into the steamer and also put my weird one in there.
The steamers here are the same as those used in the countryside over there, made of bamboo.
Yaoyao also helped me put the four-in-one dish that I had just worked so hard to make into the steamer.
I quickly said, "No, Sister Yaoyao, what I did is too ugly."
"As long as it is made with care, it will definitely look the best. Look how cute the rabbit made by our Lele is. It will definitely be even cuter after being steamed." Yaoyao pointed at my weirdo.
"Sister Yaoyao is so smart that she can actually tell it's a rabbit." Yaoyao touched my little head and began to teach me how to make a fire.
At least I had done these things before in my hometown, so I learned them quickly. Yaoyao started to busy herself with other things, and I kept myself busy.
