Succubus' Manor

The roads were blocked by heavy snow, and finally it was the coldest time. The roads to the outside world were completely blocked by heavy snow. The snow outside the city could reach people's thighs, and they might not be able to pull out if they stepped on it. Only in the city because of the tauren's cleaning They can still walk around, but other than going to the cafeteria to buy cakes in the morning and evening, or to the market to buy food, vegetables and meat, people rarely go out.

If there is a fireplace in the house, they will surround it to keep warm, and if there is no fireplace, they will light a brazier, but the smoke is a little bigger, and the windows or doors must be opened. The alley, surrounded by broken wooden boards, gather together to enjoy the fire.

When eating, let the bean dregs cake be roasted on the fire, and the taste is also very good.

Although eating bean dregs cakes for half a winter, no one felt tired or unpalatable.

The merchants stocked up enough goods before the road was closed, because the lord said that there is no need to pay taxes this winter, so under the unification of their respective forces, the merchants have achieved a rare price uniformity, and because the bean dregs cakes in the cafeteria are cheap, In order to stimulate people's consumption, merchants also lower prices.

Set in a range that people can afford.

This was probably the best news Chi Yan got about the city's own changes after he came to the city.

After the crisis, the city finally rejuvenated.

Chi Yan nestled in the room, with an orange flame burning in the fireplace. Chi Yan was wearing a blanket, looking at the parchment books he found in the study room. There were more books in this castle than Saket's, but many of them were related to Saket. Ke De's book is exactly the same, in addition to that, there are actually many little pornographic books.

It seems that the Earl has a wide range of hobbies.

And writing these things on parchment—it is really luxurious enough, and it is estimated that only nobles with nothing to do will buy it and can afford it.

However, these little yellow books all have a plot, and the plot is very ups and downs, but there are too few words, and the ups and downs of the plot may add up to two lines, because unless the audience makes up their own brains, there is no sense of substitution.

Chi Yan read the book with relish while eating the baked bread.

Anna was picked up together with the housekeeper. Anna also brought her two apprentices and officially moved into the castle. Amelia has also returned. Now there are two groups of forces in the kitchen, but because Chi Yan only eats Anna cooks the meals, so Anna and Amelia are fine.

At least there was no head-on conflict.

However, the servants in the castle have a strong sense of crisis.

After all, there was only one outsider, Kadi, and the servants felt that Chi Yan could only use them anyway.

But now Anna is here too.

And she also brought two of her own apprentices, does this mean that they will be replaced slowly and then kicked out of the castle?

Chi Yan doesn't know about the servants, but it's not so much that he doesn't know, it's better to say that Chi Yan is too lazy to care - Anna is not a vegetarian, besides, if he doesn't interfere, maybe the people below can develop some friendship Well, if he intervenes, it will put the two sides against each other instead, why bother.

Kleist is also on vacation, but Kleist is on vacation, the knights and guards are not on vacation, but the person who supervises them has changed. Gore is the one who was unfortunately arrested. Fortunately, he is not afraid of the cold. Sitting in the snow watching knights and guards fight each other.

After several months of busy work, Chi Yan and Kleist finally had a good rest.

But Chi Yan was not blindly optimistic.

It is estimated that people will still die this winter.

This is impossible.

Old people without children, or children who are not valued by their parents, even if they die at home, the neighbors will not find it for a while, especially those far away from the city center. No one knows that when the sun rises tomorrow, their eyes Can it be opened.

Modern society has sufficient manpower and resources, and it is based on the community. There are still news about the elderly who died alone at home for several months before being discovered, let alone this era.

However, it is not until the beginning of spring that the population that has decreased in winter can be accurately counted.

Winter is a season suitable for fattening. Anna worked hard to fatten up Chi Yan. The dishes are different every day. Meat is a must. Steamed buns also reappeared on Chi Yan's table, and there are more snacks. — Dried meat.

But the specific butcher shop depends on what kind of meat Anna can use.

Anna used a knife to chop the lean meat into pureed meat and spread it on the baking tray, then spread it little by little to form a thin layer, and then put it in the oven to bake. At this time, there was no tempered glass, so I couldn't see the situation in the oven. , The grasp of time and heat can only depend on experience.

It is estimated that Anna also prepared for a long time to roast the jerky just right.

It's just that although the dried meat tastes good, the color is not as red and beautiful as the butcher shop Chi Yan remembered.

Despite the fact that the jerky is thin, it is not difficult to chew, it tastes delicious, and it is very crisp when it comes out of the oven.

The only problem is that because the honey is used up, Anna can only brush a layer of syrup on the meat later.

Finally, one day when the sun came out, Chi Yan was lying on a deck chair on the balcony basking in the sun. On the table next to him were water glasses, dried meat, and crisps of bread. When Kleist came in, this was what he saw A pleasant picture.

The sun shone on Chi Yan's body, making Chi Yan's skin even more fair.

After all, Chi Yan was already white, and he didn't go out to exercise much, and he didn't bask in the sun, so he was even whiter.

Chi Yan heard Kleist's footsteps, and now he can tell the difference between Kleist and others just by hearing the footsteps. Chi Yan doesn't know if it's because of his strong discrimination or because of his body. It's because of the succubus.

"Do you want dried meat?" Chi Yan picked up a side of dried meat and enthusiastically handed it to Kleist's mouth.

Kleist, who was about to speak, was stuffed with a piece of dried meat by Chi Yan, so he could only passively chew and then swallow it.

Kleist sat on a chair on the side. It snowed heavily the night before, and it stopped after the sun came out. Chi Yan sat up straight and looked down from the balcony. At this time, there were already many people walking on the road , They will go to the edge of the city to try their luck when it is not snowing, to see if they can find burnable branches or dead grass.

Dead blades of grass don't burn quickly, but they are good introductions.

The place with the most people is the cafeteria. People here only eat two meals a day. Now it’s just the time to eat in the morning. The soybean milk flows into the barrel from the front, while the bean dregs are collected and handed over to the kang cake maker.

Kangbing does not need oil. After heating the iron plate, grab a handful of bean dregs and knead them into a ball, then put them on the iron plate and paste them. In order to prevent sticking, turn them over quickly. After two or three times, they can be sent to the front. .

Give money with one hand and cake with the other.

Chi Yan held his chin and said, "When it's difficult, people only need a little benefit to be satisfied."

This also happened to be an opportunity for people to recognize him.

It's not so easy to be rich, people are very realistic.

Kleist: "Yeah."

Chi Yan's eyes moved down, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I hope next year will be better than this year." Chi Yan winked at Kleist.

Anna was working in the kitchen, and her two apprentices were helping, because Anna was not married and had no children, so her two apprentices were selected from among the maids, and while Anna was working, Amelia and others Just watch from the sidelines.

There cannot be two tigers on one mountain, not to mention that this mountain is very small.

Anna didn't take Amelia seriously either.

Why hasn't she seen such a big storm?

Anna asked the apprentice to fetch the sugar bowl.

Amelia winked at the maid next to her. When the apprentice went to get the sugar bowl, the maid put her foot away expressionlessly, and the sugar bowl was kicked to the ground, and the sugar cubes inside rolled onto the ground , stained with a layer of dust.

The apprentice glared at the standing maid, who exaggeratedly said: "Oh! I didn't see it! I'm so sorry, this can of candy can't be used, right? How can the candy for the lord be stained with dust? You Too careless."

Others stood aside and said sarcastic words:

"It's too careless. This is a sugar jar. Do you know how expensive sugar is? It's almost the same price as gold."

"That's right, I can't afford to sell you."

"Now you can't buy sugar with money."

"I really don't know how such a careless person can work in the kitchen. The cook is really not particular."

……

Anna glanced at Amelia, and Amelia was also looking at her, and the eyes of the two met in the air, which seemed to be tit for tat.

"Go to the room and bring out the jar of sugar." Anna said to her apprentice.

The other party stood up and left the kitchen.

The kitchen suddenly became quiet, and all the servants in the kitchen were standing on the other side opposite to Anna. They had to decide who was superior to Anna today, and let Anna know who was in charge here.

"Why is there sugar in your room?" Amelia's tone was bad, her eyes narrowed slightly, serious and full of malice, "You stole it, right? You stole it from the adults."

Although the kitchen takes food that belongs to the lord or nobles, it is an unspoken rule of the people in the kitchen.

Every kitchen would do this, otherwise the status of the cook would not be so high.

But when they use this incident to accuse others, they don't blush at all.

Anna smiled, she put down the knife in her hand, and faced Amelia, another apprentice of hers walked behind her.

Obviously there were only two of them, and they couldn't compete with Amelia in terms of numbers, but Anna's momentum remained undiminished, and she sneered and said, "Why should I tell you? Who are you? You've been domineering here for a long time. Everyone wants to listen to you and look at your face?"

It's been a long time since Amelia has met someone who is so straightforwardly against her.

But she is more confident than Anna. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. There are only three people on Anna's side, and no one knows this kitchen better than her. The people working in the kitchen are all her people.

The two glared at each other, and the atmosphere was deadlocked, but it seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

At this moment, a person opened the door to the kitchen.

Cardi stood at the door, he said blankly: "It's time for lunch."

Anna and Amelia tilted their heads together: "Hmph!"

After humming, Anna asked Amelia, "Where's the salt?"

Amelia pursed her lips and pointed to the salt shaker on the stage.

It can be regarded as temporarily turning an enemy into a friend.
