Rice bug

It can be seen that Haotian has put a lot of effort into this aunt's love. He turned into the alley from the side door, and when he arrived at the kitchen, he heard a commotion inside.

Lin Dong was scolded by the person who ushered him in and went to the back to change his servant's clothes and hang up his waist badge before he was allowed to enter the kitchen.

"Look at the menu." The big man in charge of the kitchen was shaking his beard and said fiercely, "I'll throw you into the frying pan if you give the wrong name!"

Lin Dong blinked, suddenly felt that the tone of his speech was very similar to that of Zang Feilong, and smiled inexplicably on his face.

The big man was puzzled, "What are you laughing at!"

"No!" Lin Dong hurriedly took the menu, first checked the dishes that were already being cooked, and then looked at the boxes piled up in the corner, sorted out all the ingredients for the dishes that needed to be made later, and put them away separately.

The big man watched from the side for a while, seeing that he was doing things neatly, he finally eased his expression, turned his head and said to the human standing at the door urging him: "Finally, there is someone who will not hold back."

The supervisor leaned against the door, feeling bored, "Then do it quickly, there are so many nonsense, and you will be scolded by the master when you are late, I see which of you can afford it."

Lin Dong turned around and happened to see the big man shaking his beard. Although he didn't say anything, he knew from his expression that he must be cursing in his heart.

He picked up a big spoon and started to cook. The sky brightened outside, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the kitchen was more like a big stove.

Lin Dong's face was covered with sweat, and the water droplets on the tip of his nose were about to drip down almost every moment.His back was also completely wet, and while checking the list, he kept raising his hands to wipe his face.

The chef who was in charge of the spoon sat aside and rested for a while, and took off his clothes. His whole body was not obtrusive, and he looked very strong.

He sat at the door and looked at Lin Dong for a while, then said, "Hey, kid, come and have a rest."

Lin Dong turned his head, his sight was almost blocked by sweat, he raised his sleeve and wiped his face, saying, "I can't leave right now."

"Tsk, you are stupid." The man came over a few steps, took the list away from his hand, and threw it to the person next to him, "You! Help me look at it first!"

The man agreed, and Lin Dong was dragged out.

When the cool wind blew outside, Lin Dong felt a lot clearer in his head.

"Don't faint in a while, I have to find someone to carry you." The man said fiercely, and took a cattail fan from under the chair next to him and handed it to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong took over the fan, and the feeling of suffocation from the cooking fumes in the kitchen was much less.He gratefully said: "Thank you."

The big man took a sip of water and looked at him, "Are you from another place?"

"Yes."

"It's hard to find a job, why come here?"

"I heard that the money is much more." Lin Dong smiled shyly.

The big man grunted, and then remembered to introduce himself, "My name is Wu Chengsan, and everyone here calls me Wu San."

"Brother Wu." Lin Dong called out politely.

Wu Chengsan was taken aback, a little embarrassed, "This is the same as the laundry girl in front, just call me Wu San."

Lin Dong nodded, "Brother Wu San."

Wu Chengsan burst out laughing, "You're dead-brained."

The two talked for a while, Wu Chengsan was a carefree and straightforward character, and they got acquainted in a short while.Lin Dong asked, "How long has Brother Wu been working here?"

"Three or five years." Wu Chengsan thought for a while, "I can't remember, maybe a little longer."

Lin Dong was a little surprised. Looking at Wu Chengsan's age, he might be around thirty, but because he has a big beard, he might be younger.

"Why do you come here to be a cook?" Lin Dong blinked, "Is it really a lot of money here?"

"I don't know about it outside, it's enough for food and clothing." Wu Chengsan said: "The savings of these years are enough for me to marry a wife."

"Wu Sange hasn't married yet?"

"Who would like me like this?" Wu Chengsan laughed at himself, picked up the water hyacinth and poured water, wiped his mouth and said, "Listen to your tone, could it be that you are already married?"

"No, no." Lin Dong quickly shook his head, "I... just a big brother, nothing else."

"You still have a brother?" Wu Chengsan frowned, "Then why don't you go to your brother?"

"He...is not very convenient." Lin Dong blinked.

Wu Chengsan thought that he might be asking something he shouldn't ask, so he quickly changed the subject, "It's complicated in Hao's mansion, but if you learn the rules, there's nothing wrong with staying. If you stay, brother will protect you."

Lin Dong smiled sweetly, "Thank you Wu San, you are so kind."

At noon, when the guests arrived, large plates of dishes were brought out, and the pot was still pouring.

Lin Dong was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, just checking the menu for each table made him dizzy.As for Haotian, he hasn't even seen a single hair.

There are two stalls in the evening, and wine and vegetables are continuously delivered to Hao's mansion.

After finally waiting for a break, Lin Dong slipped away to the busy lobby ahead on the pretext of going to the latrine.

From the hall to the front yard, densely packed with human heads and tables.Lin Dong mingled among the servants serving the dishes, handed drinks to a table of guests, and turned around to look for Haotian's figure.

Although he didn't know that person, but at this time, Haotian must be sitting in the main seat.

He was looking for it when he was suddenly pushed by someone behind him. Turning around, a little girl was holding a wooden plate and putting it in his hand, "What are you doing in a daze! Be careful that someone will find out and beat you later!"

The little girl stared, "This is from the master's table, take it quickly!"

Lin Dong complied, took it over, and looked embarrassed again.

The little girl was impatient, "Are you new here? No one taught you how to do things?" She pulled Lin Dong's shoulders to make him turn back, and then showed him the way, "Did you see it! Follow in and go up the steps , the tablecloth is different from other tables!"

Lin Dong hurriedly thanked him, lowered his head and hurried inside with the wooden tray in his hand.

Going up the steps and entering the lobby, the noise inside is quieter than outside. When you walk around a large table, you can see at a glance that the round table in front of you is different from the outside.

Lin Dong's heart was pounding, he thought a lot at this moment, he had a dagger hidden in his cuff, maybe he could take advantage of people's unpreparedness...

The closer he was to the table, the faster his heart beat, and it was another matter to see things in his imagination.Ye Batian was right, how would he assassinate him?Do you have chopsticks?

His fingers trembled convulsively, Lin Dong raised his eyes, and easily found Haotian.

He sat on the main seat, and two older women sat next to him.It is not clear who is the protagonist of today's banquet, but in Lin Dong's eyes, that is not relevant.

His eyes almost locked on Haotian, his steps became stiff, and he didn't notice it.

Haotian is handsomer than imagined, not such a wretched villain.Actually, who's gonna say I'm a badass?He looked energetic, dressed in brocade clothes, with his hair tied up, and his facial features were three-dimensional and his eyes were deep.

He has the air of being the master of the house, and his voice is slightly low but unexpectedly nice.

Maybe he felt that someone was staring at him, and he moved his gaze over while talking to others.

The eyes of the two collided in the gap between the heads. Haotian's eyebrows were very thick and raised slightly, showing the temperament of a military general who had been on the battlefield, but his appearance was slightly refined, and there were thin wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Together, there is an indescribable charm.

Lin Dong suddenly understood why Master Sikong would look at Haotian to do this. He really stood out, and he must have been more attractive when he was young, so he was so attractive.

Lin Dong lowered his eyes, and passed the wooden plate from the side, and someone took it, and sent him away.

Haotian's personal followers stood beside the main seat, and strangers were not allowed to approach easily.

It's too naive to want to take advantage of people's unpreparedness.

Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief, his mind cleared up a bit, he turned around and left immediately without revealing any flaws.

On the contrary, Haotian stared at his leaving back for a while, then turned his head, and winked at a follower standing not far away.

"My lord." The relative came over and bent down to make it easier for Haotian to speak.

"Go and find out the origin of the boy just now."

The attendant was a little surprised, he raised his head and glanced in the direction where Lin Dong left, with puzzlement in his eyes, "What does your lord mean?"

"Go and check first, and talk about the rest later."

The man bowed, "Yes."

Lin Dong circled back to the kitchen, Wu Chengsan saw him coming back, and canceled: "Did you lose the latrine? Been there for so long?"

Lin Dong smiled embarrassingly, "Maybe the water and soil are not acclimatized, and I have diarrhea."

"Are you okay?" Wu Chengsan liked this little rabbit-like boy so much, he walked over and said, "Do you want me to get some medicine for you?"

He reached out his hand to rub the boy's hair, but found that his hand was full of oil, so he took it back.

Lin Dong gratefully said: "Thank you, but no need, it's much better now."

Wu Chengsan nodded, "Only a part of the guests will be left in the evening, and now you can rest for a while, don't be busy."

Lin Dong nodded, found a small bench at the door of the kitchen and sat down, looking up at the sky in a daze.

Seeing his thoughtful look, Wu Chengsan sat over and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that this rich family is different. How much does it cost for such a big ostentation?"

"What's the matter? For Mr. Hao, it's just a drop in the bucket." Wu Chengsan snorted, "Now he is the emperor's favorite minister, so he is proud of it."

Lin Dong looked at him, "Hearing your tone, I don't really like...this lord?"

"Didn't I say it, it's very complicated here." Wu Chengsan lowered his voice, "I want to survive here, always remember one thing, whether you can't hear it or see it."

Lin Dong was thoughtful, "I heard from outsiders that this lord has done a lot of bad things."

"Everyone knows these things." Wu Chengsan shook his head, "Paper can't cover fire, there are too many people in this house who know. But no one will tell, who will play with their own lives? But In the past, there were servant girls who were close to her, but they disappeared for no reason... probably they were dealt with."

Lin Dong was startled, "Do you know too much?"

"No."

Lin Dong lowered his eyes, suddenly thinking that maybe he made a mistake in this step.

Haotian was able to climb to this position, he must not be a simple person. Although he entered the door, he couldn't think of a way to assassinate him.

If you stay in the kitchen all the time, you can't get close to him; if you mix with him...

Just like what Wu Chengsan said, knowing too much can only be solved.

I am too careless.
