Chapter 172 So you are here

After a while, a rich-looking middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked up to the group of laborers with his hands behind his back and raised his chin.

"The Hu family in Willow Lane, load the goods into the car, here are three people."

Zhao Lin didn't say anything, and none of the Lifu dared to move.

When the housekeeper saw that no one was moving, he thought they were showing humility to each other, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at three people: "You, you, and you..."

Zhao Lin has outstanding physique and was also selected by the housekeeper.

Zhao Lin sat motionless, turned to a tuft of hair and said, "I'm not going, please find someone to take my place."

"Okay!" A Tuft of Hair agreed hastily.

The housekeeper twitched his lips and looked a little sullen, "If you don't do any work, what kind of work are you doing here?"

Zhao Lin ignored him and yawned loudly, making the housekeeper stare in anger.

In the next hour, several more employers came to recruit workers, but Zhao Lin remained indifferent.

The Lifus all felt strange and wondered what he was planning.

It was not until noon that people from the Chu Mansion arrived.

A man in his thirties wearing a satin robe walked over from a distance, followed by two attendants.

"Who is that person?" Zhao Lin asked a bunch of hair.

"Steward Sun Er of the Chu Mansion." A tuft of hair replied.

Zhao Lin nodded, knowing what he was doing.

There are three housekeepers in the Chu Mansion, the first housekeeper is in charge of the inside, the second housekeeper is in charge of the outside, and there is a female housekeeper in charge of the inner house.

"Shopping from the Chu family on Sajin Street, five cents, six people."

Before Butler Sun's family could even reach the front, the entourage behind him shouted loudly.

Zhao Lin was the first to stand up, dusted himself off, and bowed.

Based on the monitoring over the past few days, he knew that the second housekeeper liked to put on airs, so he deliberately showed a humble attitude.

Sure enough, Butler Sun nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you come!"

We then selected a few that we liked among the people and headed to the rice market together.

While walking on the road, Zhao Lin quietly reached into his arms, took out a ball of black powder, flicked it with his finger, and hit Butler Sun on the back.

A special fragrance slowly spreads.

The musk powder prepared by Ma Laohan has a long-lasting smell. As long as it stays on the clothes for a while, the smell will penetrate into the texture. Even after changing clothes or even taking a shower, Zhao Lin can still find people.

Butler Sun was still unconscious and walked slowly with square steps.

There are hundreds of people in the Chu Mansion, who consume a lot of food every day and have to buy it every few days.

Butler Sun purchased a large amount of rice, grains and meat, and Zhao Lin and several other laborers carried the carts on their shoulders to the east gate of the Chu Mansion.

"Take the things to the dining room, be quick with your hands and feet, and don't look around."

Butler Sun gave a warning and directed everyone to move things inside.

"The second housekeeper is back."

The head guard guarding the side door greeted.

When Zhao Lin went out in the morning, he had already suppressed his strength and returned to the strength realm, so he didn't worry about his cultivation being seen by others.

laugh……

As he passed by, Zhao Lin popped up a ball of musk powder, hitting the guard leader's ribs at the hem of his clothes.

Following Butler Sun, they came to the dining room on the east side of the main hall, where Zhao Lin and others moved the ingredients into the woodshed.

"You guys have done a good job, this is your wages!"

Butler Sun settled the bill happily, and then said to an attendant: "Xiaosi, please send them out."

Zhao Lin glanced sideways at the dining room and saw four dining rooms side by side. On the doors were written: upper, inner, outer, small.

He had an idea and thought to himself: "It is better to take it internally than to apply it externally. Instead of taking medicine one by one, it is better to stew it in a spoonful!"

Once the musk powder enters the stomach, it will be slowly released with body fluids and can last for several months.

Shuntian Liang Diaoliu, who was the first to hunt the mountain leopard, swallowed a musk pill before he died, and his body was found by a scent-sniffing mink in the spring.

This is a good idea, but... why are there so many dining rooms?

"Brother, your Chu Mansion is really impressive!"

As he walked out, Zhao Lin said in a complimentary tone, deliberately adding an accent to "you".

When the entourage heard this, the corners of his mouth split unconsciously, and he said proudly: "That's right, it is said that the south is rich and the west is noble. When it comes to Nancheng, the Chu family can count them on one hand!"

Zhao Lin nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, when I was moving the goods just now, I saw that there were four dining rooms, and there seemed to be something written about up, down, left, and right?"

When the attendant heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Don't talk nonsense, where are up, down, left, and right, they are clearly up, inside, outside, and small."

"Yeah."

Zhao Lin deliberately patted his head and said, "Brother, don't blame me. I don't know much about reading, so I read it wrong."

Then he made a serious expression on his face asking for advice, "Brother, please tell us, what does upper, inner, outer, and small mean?"

"If we knew about it, we would have a reason to brag when we go out, and our trip to Chu Mansion would not be in vain."

The entourage laughed when he heard this, "Actually, it's nothing, it's the same for all wealthy families..."

Then an explanation was given.

The original four dining rooms are: upper dining room, inner dining room, outer dining room, and small dining room.

The dining room is for the exclusive use of the Chu family.

The inner dining room is used to cook meals for people with a certain status such as housekeepers, guards, escorts, masters, and teachers.

The external dining room is used to cook meals for the servants.

As for the small dining room, the stove fire stays on all year round, ensuring that when the master and his wife want to eat, they can be there at any time without waiting.

"Oh, I have learned so much!"

Zhao Lin sighed, and several Lifu also looked stunned.

…

At midnight, the crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

Zhao Lin dressed in black and quietly came outside Chu Mansion.

After finding a place where there was no one nearby, the spiral energy spurted out from the hole, and the body slowly rose into the sky.

The situation of the entire Chu Mansion can be seen at a glance.

There are many guards in the mansion, including warriors of the second and third levels of the Strength Realm, and two Qi Realm masters, both of whom were hired by the Chu family at a large price.

Zhao Lin released ultrasonic waves to locate all patrolling and hiding guards.

It has to be said that money can make a difference, and the guards are very conscientious in their duties. They are still vigilant at this time, but none of them can imagine that there is someone above their heads.

He flew all the way to the dining room, landed slowly, and walked into the "upper dining room" first.

The pots and pans were neatly placed on the stove. Zhao Lin looked left and right and opened the lids on the vessels one by one.

When I opened the lid of a large casserole, a fresh, rich and mellow aroma hit my nostrils.

There is stock in the casserole. In this era, there was no MSG, and all the cooks had the ability to make stock, which was used to enhance the freshness of cooking and soup.

"I'll give you some extra ingredients."

Zhao Lin smiled slightly, took out the musk powder from his arms, poured some into it, took a spoon and stirred it inside.

When I lifted my nose and smelled it again, the smell of the medicinal powder was diluted by the broth.

It seems to be a little more fragrant.

Then he went to the inner dining room and the small dining room and followed the same method, adding musk powder to the braised soup and stock.

When passing the dining room, Zhao Lin paused, thought for a while, and did not go in.

If the Chu family contacts Chu Liu, it is unlikely that they will send their servants there.

If everyone in the Chu Mansion is drugged, it will lead to too many tracking targets, which will not be conducive to finding people.

After finishing the work, I took off and went back to Tongpu to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Lin did not go out to look for work. He just wandered around the Chu Mansion and listened intently to what was going on inside.

The medicine has been given, it just depends on whether they will take it.
