Lin Chaoci's affinity is quite terrifying.

Maybe he didn't even realize it himself.

Although this is thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, when other young masters and young ladies did not treat servants as human beings, but trained them like hunting dogs, deliberately erasing their humanity, and even arbitrarily rewarded or punished them because of their own moods, his attitude towards Xiaodie was as if he was facing a flesh-and-blood person, and was always stable. This also made Xiaodie feel proud for the first time when comparing herself with other servants, because she tasted the taste of being respected, especially because this respect was given to her by the young master Lin Chaoci, although this respect was given to life itself and personality itself, not simply to Xiaodie as a person. Lin Chaoci would give this respect to other people as well, but other legitimate sons and daughters did too poorly. In comparison, Lin Chaoci's clear stream seemed particularly dazzling.

Speaking of this, I have to mention something.

Xiaodie is the name of this little maid.

It wasn't Lin Chaoci who started it.

But it does have something to do with Lin Chaoci.

In the early years, Xiaodie's parents, the two older sons of the Xiao family, had considered the issue of Xiaodie's name.

Because it is obvious that there is no choice.

The clan leader ordered.

The first elder, the second elder, and the third elder agreed.

This way.

It's no use for anyone to plead for mercy.

It is also impossible to change Xiaodie's owner.

Xiaodie is tied to Lin Chaoci for the rest of her life.

So, what Xiaodie’s father meant was that it would be a good idea to choose a name that represents loyalty. Even though your life and death are in the hands of others and you cannot be disloyal, there is still a difference between being active and being passive.

Xiaodie's mother's idea was to give her a name that sounded pleasant to the ear, or at least easy to pronounce, so that Xiaodie's master would get used to her and she would have a chance to become a concubine in the future.

However, Xiaodie also has her own ideas.

Compared to what my parents suggested.

Lin Chaoci mentioned casually that he hoped she could be a happy little butterfly, which made her even more excited and determined to change her name.

Xiaodie's parents must be unhappy about this.

But Xiaodie was satisfied.

Lin Chaoci did not object either.

So, it doesn’t really matter what Xiaodie’s parents think.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

The cicadas started chirping suddenly.

Another new day.

Before dawn, when it was just light, Xiaodie had already gotten up. After a quick wash, she pushed the door open and went to the kitchen carrying a large wooden food box.

In summer, the sun rises earlier.

The dark ones also appear later.

So, Xiaodie went out very early.

It is approximately equivalent to four o'clock in the morning in modern times.

However, the distance issue must be considered. Starting at four in the morning, it would be almost four-thirty to walk to the kitchen. After queuing up, getting the food, and walking back, it would be almost six o'clock. At this time, Lin Chaoci would basically be up.

Wash and eat.

The time is just right.

Xiaodie will wash the dishes after dinner.

Prepare for the next meal.

Because you have to bring your own food boxes and bowls and chopsticks.

If you don't wash it, you will have to eat from a dirty bowl next time.

Then, around ten o'clock in the morning, I go out again with the lunch box, and come back with lunch before twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Dinner is at seven o'clock, that is, I leave at five o'clock and come back at seven o'clock.

As for food, it depends on how early or late you arrive.

The earlier you arrive, the more choices you have.

The later you arrive, the fewer choices you have.

Basic meals are available unlimitedly.

For example, steamed buns, rice, porridge, and noodles.

In addition, soup, vegetables and meat are also essential.

But a little special dishes.

There is also a portion of rare foods.

That's quite a statement.

Because there are many ways to cook the same ingredients, the unlimited and required meat is just boiled meat, the vegetables are just basic greens, and the soup is egg drop soup. This is the basic configuration for the Xiao family to ensure that the legitimate children have adequate nutrition, and it also provides a patch for future training.

What’s the point of practicing if you’re malnourished?

It's just like practicing martial arts.

Physical deficiency.

Forced martial arts training.

It's no different from seeking death.

To put it bluntly, you can choose not to eat, but the kitchen will give you according to the lower limit of the quota, ensuring that you have more than one kilogram of meat and more than one kilogram of vegetarian food every day, as well as basic meals and soup. If you eat more, you can also ask the maid or servant who serves the food to take more. The chefs in the kitchen face these maids or servants who come to serve meals almost regularly all year round, and they basically have an impression of their and their masters' appetites, so there is no need to worry about wasting food. Moreover, these foods are only supplied to legitimate children. Even if someone wastes it, the wealthy Xiao family can afford it. What's more, there is no possibility of embezzling these meals. If it is some precious resources, such as the magic core of Warcraft, or ginseng of different years, maybe someone will take advantage of the family and get it with the family's free quota, and then sell it at a low price in exchange for some things they need. But for things like meals, except for stray dogs on the roadside, there is almost no room for bidding in the outside world.

However, some foods are special.

For example, ice cream in summer.

For example, a soup pot in winter.

These are limited quantities.

It’s not that the kitchen only makes one portion.

In fact, as long as you want to eat, the kitchen can cook for you at any time.

But cooking also takes time.

Whether it’s ice cream or soup pot.

These are not foods that can be prepared in three to five minutes or one to two hours.

Especially the icy crisps.

The full name of this thing is ice cream.

It can't be done without half a day.

If you arrive late, the bingsu will have been made by other maids or servants who arrived earlier, and even if they make it again for you, it will be too late.

In addition, because the city of Wutan is located inland.

There is no sea nearby.

There are relatively few rivers.

Therefore, foods such as fish, shrimp, and shellfish are relatively rare.

The kitchen doesn’t have this ingredient.

It’s impossible to ask the kitchen to make it for you.

Therefore, Xiaodie's early rising is not an isolated case.

Because other maids and servants would also get up early.

There would be no need to argue if it wasn't for the matter of getting food.

Most foods taste better when served hot.

If it's been left out for too long, it won't taste good when it cools down.

They would even stay outside the kitchen until midnight waiting for the food to come out of the oven.

So, when Xiaodie arrived at the kitchen with the food box.

There is already a line outside the kitchen door.

The line isn't long.

Because not everyone can be as leisurely as Xiaodie.

All day long, he just had to get meals and wash dishes, and didn't have to do any other work. Lin Chaoci could dress himself and wash himself. With a wave of his hand, the dust in the house would be swept away. After Xiaodie cleaned the house several times, she found that there was no dust at all, so she gradually stopped cleaning. The most important thing was that Lin Chaoci had the self-control of an adult and would not ask a maid like Xiaodie to play games with him. Xiaodie could even take a nap for a few hours after eating and washing the dishes, so that she was always energetic and getting up early was nothing.

And most of the maids and servants.

Collectively referred to as servants.

Basically, it's a busy whole day.

He wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog.

It can even be said that some maids and servants have other competitors. Not everyone is like Lin Chaoci, who only has one maid serving her. As long as there are more than two servants, these servants will spontaneously get together, commonly known as competing for favor. It is not much different from the eunuchs in ancient imperial palaces who would serve different people according to their preferences. The only difference is that there are age requirements, and not everyone is qualified to compete for favor.

And arrived after Xiaodie.

It is a large force with a large number of troops.

Of course, that’s not to say a lot.

There wouldn’t be more than a hundred people rushing over here.

But there are still about forty or fifty people.

Arriving one after another.

If the many legitimate sons or daughters of the Xiao family came, the kitchen would definitely let them in. But if they were just a group of family children, no matter who the master behind them was, they had to stand outside obediently and wait until the kitchen opened the door, and then go in one by one to choose.

A batch of five.

Xiaodie is one of the five people in the third batch.

Picked some daily meals.

The main reason is that Lin Chaoci is not picky about food.

Nothing particularly favorite.

Nothing particularly disliked.

Therefore, when Xiaodie is choosing, she usually first looks to see if there are any rare items, such as ice cream, because it is summer now. If not, she will exclude the food she had yesterday and choose some that she has not eaten. After confirming the quantity is correct, she can leave.

However, today is an exception.

There was no problem in the process of serving the meal.

But on the way back, a small accident happened.

The road is blocked!

That’s right, the road is blocked!

This is a very niche word.

But it can be said that it is the most appropriate word to describe the current situation.

A group of servants gathered together.

There was a lot of noise.

Stick to one word.

Although he didn't come here intentionally to block Xiaodie.

But Xiaodie really couldn't get over it.

About twenty or thirty people were divided into two camps, shouting and cursing. Not only people like Xiaodie who had just gotten their meals couldn't get through, but those who came later, that is, those who hadn't gotten their meals yet, who were standing on the other side, also couldn't get through. For a moment, the scene was in such chaos that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a riot of demons.

So, Xiaodie didn't just go in without thinking.

Look around.

His eyes lit up.

Carrying the food box, he walked to the side for a dozen steps.

Looking at the maids who were also carrying food boxes, about 20 to 30 meters away from the outbreak point, whispering to each other, and pointing at the servants who were blocking the intersection so that both sides could not pass normally, and who were noisy and could not hear who was saying what, she respectfully asked: "Hello, sisters, my name is Xiaodie, and I am the maid of Master Chaoci. I don't know why so many people are blocking here, so I came to ask you for advice..."

They say don’t hit someone with a smiling face.

It is also said that the more courtesy one receives, the less blame one will find.

Xiaodie's humble words quickly won the approval of these maids.

Therefore, one of the maids with a relatively high status, or to be more precise, her master, was considered to have a relatively high status among the masters of these maids. Therefore, as the saying goes, a dog takes advantage of the power of the master, her status also rose accordingly, and she was qualified to stand up and speak as a representative: "Hello, Sister Xiaodie, my name is Xiaoling, serving Miss Xiao Ting. Although I am a few years older than you, I am far from asking for advice. We just arrived a moment earlier and don’t know much. I hope you can forgive me... Master Xiao Ning’s servant and Master Xiao Ding’s servant bumped into each other at the intersection ahead. In my opinion, they should have bumped into each other, otherwise, they wouldn’t have knocked the food box in their hands to the ground, and the food would have been scattered all over the floor... Therefore, Master Xiao Ning’s servant didn’t let him go and scolded the other party for being blind. I don’t know what Master Xiao Ding’s servant scolded, and I didn’t hear it clearly because the distance was too far. Anyway, a fight broke out at the back, and several servants nearby were also involved. It seems that the food was scattered, and no one was spared."

"Then... everyone just wait here?"

"Wait until they're done fighting?"

"No one broke up the fight?"

Xiaodie had a question mark on her face.

She got her meal and was in no hurry.

Keeping the food box is more important than anything else, at least don't let it spill as mentioned before. Otherwise, even if the plates and bowls inside are not broken, there will not be enough time to go back and get new food.

But are those servants who can’t come over really not in a hurry?

Are you just standing here leisurely and watching the fun?

"I persuaded you!"

"But it's no use!"

The maid named Xiao Ling pointed to the many servants who were in a mess about 20 to 30 meters ahead, and said the helpless fact in a matter-of-fact tone: "How do you think these people started fighting... Earlier, it was just Master Xiao Ning's servant fighting Master Xiao Ding's servant, but later, Master Xiao Li's servant also came over. Master Xiao Ding and Master Xiao Li are brothers, and it is normal for them to fight two against one... Then, unexpectedly, Miss Xiao Yu's maid was also blocked. Although fighting is a man's thing, Miss Xiao Yu's maid has a younger brother. Although she didn't dare to go up when the servant of the master's younger brother was beaten, it was okay to let her younger brother go over to mediate... I don't need to say the rest, you should understand it, right?"

"understood."

"Just like when the young master took me to build a snowman."

“The snowball keeps getting bigger.”

“More and more people are involved.”

Looking at the dishes scattered all over the floor, and the scene of twenty or thirty young boys, who were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and eleven or twelve years old, fighting over there like a bunch of gourds rolling on the ground, waving their fists, Xiaodie held her forehead slightly, feeling very tired and a little speechless.

However, the other maids had a different focus than her.

She is concerned about when this farce will end.

Very early in the morning.

It should be around five o'clock now.

Because queuing and choosing dishes take time.

These people just want to make trouble.

She doesn't care what these people think.

But these people did block her way back.

Several maids, led by Xiao Ling, were curious about the snowman that Xiao Die mentioned. Although Wutan City is located inland with distinct four seasons, they have seen snow, but not every master would take their maids to build snowmen. It sounds like this little sister they just met has met a good young master, but they don't know if they have a chance. They can ask around. If there is a chance, they can use their connections to get a transfer.

Who doesn’t want to have a master who is emotionally stable?

It would be best if he was a gentle and refined young master.

Maybe she could even become a concubine.

Of course, the above are all just our own fantasies.

Xiaodie didn't know what Xiaoling and the other maids were thinking.

Xiaoling and other maids didn't know what Xiaodie was thinking.

But they were all paying attention to one thing, and the people other than them, that is, the maids who did not fight, were also paying attention to this thing, which was when this turmoil would end so that they could complete their fixed tasks!

As for joining the war, that is absolutely impossible!

If these servants fight, at most they will be punished.

If the person behind the scenes has a bad temper, winning or losing is the most important thing.

To put it bluntly, you can fight.

But you have to win.

If you lose to your opponent, you will lose face for me as their master.

But they can’t!

They are all a group of women.

Moreover, they basically serve the young ladies.

Male to male.

Female to female.

This is the principle for allocating children to a family.

Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie are exceptions.

In short, if they lose their manners, their future in life will be ruined.

So, just wait.

The kind where you just stare blankly.
