Alien landlady

Chapter 123 Chapter 131
"Hey, President Bai, I haven't seen you for a few days. The scenery here is getting better and better." Pollock seemed to have just noticed Bai Tongtong walking in, and waved his cup casually as a salute.

"Master Pollock." Bai Tongtong called him expressionlessly.

Pollock shuddered suddenly, lowered his legs, and sat upright on the windowsill.

Harding jumped up from the ground, dodging to the farthest corner of the morning room, a little farther away from the center of the coming storm, Ah Huang was having fun playing, and ran over, biting back and forth and fighting together .

Bai Tongtong bypassed the tables and chairs in the morning room, walked straight up to Pollock, and stretched out his hand to him, "Take out what you brought for me now."

"How can you be sure that I have brought something?"

"Otherwise, why did you come from the other side of the river? Master Anmeng is here. With your well-informed information channels, will you prepare some of his favorite food for him in advance?"

Pollock immediately took out an interspatial bag and gave it to Bai Tongtong, "I just got it after a long journey. Tonight will depend on your craftsmanship."

"Are you staying for dinner tonight?"

"Master Anmeng's invitation is my greatest honor. Besides, you promised me that you will treat me for free when I get something."

"Tch, no wonder you act arrogantly, it's because you often supply big shots, and they support you behind the scenes."

"That's everyone's support."

"In this case, get me some brewing equipment and the best quality hops."

"Oh? That woman can make wine?"

"When the time comes, it will be brewed, and you will be given a few barrels of various flavors, and then I will invite you to drink and barbecue by the pond."

"Okay, it's settled."

"Of course." Bai Tongtong turned around and left with the space bag in her hand. She had to rush to the kitchen to see how big the big fish was.

Pollock continued to drink tea while looking at the scenery, looking forward to the dinner. He thought that Bai Tongtong would scream when he saw the big fish.

Bai Tongtong was indeed screaming in the kitchen. The big fish that could only be carried by two people was placed on the long cooking table, waiting for her to cut it up and make it into gourmet food.

"My God! There are such big fish in the water system outside the pond! Are you all screaming?" Bai Tongtong asked the maids excitedly, and she had no less than ten ways to eat fish in her mind.

The maids nodded happily, "We were all dumbfounded when they brought them in. We couldn't believe what we saw. This is the first time we've seen such a big fish."

Bai Tongtong shook the space bag in his hand, "This is also just delivered, take a look at what's inside, tonight's menu has been reordered."

Abel took the space bag, cooperated with the girls, and took out a grain bag that was only half a bag from it, opened the mouth of the bag and reached out, looking at the yellow rice-like grain, the kitchen was full of screams again.

"This is our staple food!" Abel and the others cried excitedly, taking out bag after bag of things from the space bag, including food, vegetables, and even fruits and seeds.

"Is this Pollock visiting some farmer's market?" Bai Tongtong couldn't help muttering.

The maids called the farmers and women, and asked them to take the seeds and prepare them for trial planting. The local people call those yellow and millet-like grains yellow wheat, because they are yellow and round, so they are called yellow wheat or round wheat for short, but Bai Tongtong called it directly. Yellow millet, referred to as millet, looks like round millet grains.

Abel and the others told Bai Tongtong the cooking methods of these foods in a hurry. There are usually two ways to cook millet. One is to grind it into powder, mix it with water, knead it into a ball and steam it, and then grab it with your hands and eat it with vegetables. It is boiled into porridge with water, and it is usually the food of the elderly, sick and young children.

Hearing that he could cook porridge, Bai Tongtong decided to eat fish fillet and millet porridge tonight.

Instructing them to move all the food to the storage room, wash the rice and cook porridge, she rolled up her sleeves, tied up her apron and began to scrape the scales of the fish.

While scraping the scales, Bai Tongtong is regretful, such a big fish head, it’s a pity that there is no chili or vermicelli, otherwise it would be so refreshing to have a fish head stewed with vermicelli or fish head with chopped pepper. , nothing, do you put noodles in fish head soup?What about the fish porridge?Perhaps, fish head soaked cakes are good?
Thinking of how to eat the fish head, I feel happy that I didn't waste the ingredients, and the movements of my hands became more and more neat.

After scraping the scales of the fish, he was busy dissectioning the belly of the fish again. With a knife, a pile of yellow things rolled out. If you look closely, it is a large piece of fish roe.

This was actually a female fish about to lay eggs, Bai Tongtong excitedly called for someone to bring a basin, took out a large basin full of fresh fish roe, piled up a mountain peak.

Make a freezer, freeze the fish roe and the basin together into a large ice cube, and take it to the pantry for temporary storage. Bai Tongtong ordered another basin to dig out the internal organs and empty the belly of the fish, without any waste that would affect the taste and taste.

After confirming that it is clean, chop off the head and tail separately, then chop the long fish body into several pieces, clean up the unnecessary waste from the fish head, let everyone take it to the pool and wash it repeatedly, and freeze the fish head tomorrow To make fish head soup, wipe the cooking table clean, put it on the chopping board, put the fish meat and fish tail aside, Bai Tongtong rubbed her large kitchen knife on the whetstone a few times, and began to remove the meat and bones.

Such a big fish has only one main bone, and there are no difficult intermuscular spines, which saves a lot of time. After the bones are completely removed, only the thick fish meat is left, and a part of it is sliced ​​into thin slices suitable for porridge and boiled fish. Some of them were only changed into fish steaks with a few knives. Anyway, the fish meat was divided into four or five large pots in the end, which made the kitchen tense for a while, and Abel planned to buy more pots when he went grocery shopping tomorrow.

Bai Tongtong really wanted to make fish paste, but she was too tired to scrape the fish paste with such a big fish. Tomorrow, she would use two rolling pins to pound the fish fillets, smash them into fish paste, pinch fish balls, and make fish ball noodles in the morning eat.

Leave half a pot of fish fillets to cook porridge, and save a little bit of fish steaks for frying for a while. The rest of the fish meat is frozen in ice and put in the storage room. I will try to eat it in the next few days .

By the way, invitation letters can be sent to the meeting banquet that has been going to be held but has not been held, and there are delicious dishes to entertain guests.

When the kitchen was in full swing, Bai Rui came in from the back door after washing and dressing up. She was wearing the gray skirt of the maids, and covered her bald head with her hands intentionally or unintentionally. Obviously she was not used to her new image, and she was more beautiful than Bai Tongtong. Still skinny, with a collar fit for a normal girl, a pinky finger could fit into Berri's, and the skirt almost hung on her body, lacking body fat to hold up the dress.

Bai Tongtong glanced at her, and asked someone to take her back upstairs to rest, "I have someone throw away your dirty clothes, since you have come here, you have to get over your past life completely, take care of yourself these few days." Rest and wait for the brewing equipment to arrive before working, you are so thin, I am afraid that my workload here will overwhelm you."

"I'm not afraid, I can do anything, I don't want to wait for dinner with nothing to do." Bai Rui didn't care about the clothes, she felt that the skirt on her body was more comfortable to wear.

"Or you can work in the kitchen, or do some sewing, we've got a lot of clothes to make."

"Okay, I know all of these, and I'll do it now."

"It's free for today. A good rest is what you have to do now. Go back to your room and take a nap. Someone will call you after dinner."

"Yes. Thank you, my lord." Bai Rui maintained the habit she developed when she lived in the church village, curtseyed to Bai Tongtong, and then walked through the kitchen and went upstairs through the corridor.

"Miss, that girl is so pitiful. I sent two people to help her take a bath just now. When she took off her clothes, she was covered with bruises. It looked like she had been beaten for many years. She also said that she hadn't been beaten in the past few months because she Her husband is seriously ill, and he has no strength to beat her, and at most, the children in the village throw stones or spit on her." Standing beside Bai Tongtong, Abel was arranging the vegetables for dinner while gossiping with her, and the busy people around him also stood up. The ears are listening.

"Since the first Earl came here, there has never been a magician's guild. There is no check and balance of magician power. The church power is dominant here, making all the people stupid. Many outdated concepts have been maintained. , if they go to other cities, they will be treated as monsters by the citizens and throw stones and rotten eggs and spit on them.” Bai Tongtong asked for another bowl of pickled fish fillets and fish steaks, and everyone took out the soup bowls to use as vegetable sinks, Abel I keep muttering about the number of new pots I will buy tomorrow.

"It's really terrible, there is no tolerance at all." Some people commented, and they were unanimously echoed.

The stove was vacated, ready to cook millet porridge, Bai Tongtong specifically asked to add more water to make it thinner, and everyone followed suit.

This was the staple food of Abel and his group. They knew how to cook it deliciously. Bai Tongtong didn't worry about it at all. She just dealt with the fish she needed, and they took over the rest. She took off her apron and washed her hands to go Take a rest and come back when the porridge is ready.

Reading in the bedroom, I saw Abel go upstairs to call her, and when I went down to see, the round wheat was boiled into rice oil as she expected, and immediately ordered someone to take the soup basin to scoop out the soup, and put a small bowl called Bei Rui Come down to drink, cover the rest and put it in the sideboard, and reheat it for the two old people and Bai Rui before going to bed at night.

Bei Rui came down and stood in the corridor with a bowl in her hand to drink. Bai Tongtong poured the fish slices into the pot, added the prepared seasonings, mixed the porridge and fish evenly, covered the pot and continued to cook. Taking advantage of this time, she went to Talk to Berri in the hallway.

"You said your brother studied magic. Do you remember what he studied?"

"It seems to be fire magic. He was still young when he was taken away, and he was expelled from school when he came back. He said that he had studied elementary education in the main city before learning magic, but his magic talent was limited, and he couldn't get promoted. to senior year."

"Which main city did he study in? This Soller?"

"Yes, but I don't remember which school he went to. Our family was very happy when he came back. We talked a lot. After so many years, I forgot some."

"He came back after being angry and took your parents and brothers. He must have had a good life at that time and was able to resettle his relatives. Did he tell you where he was doing at that time? To survive?"

Bai Rui still shook her head, "Sana wanted to take me and my husband with me when he came back, but my husband and I were still living in his village, which was next to the church village, so we wanted to go It’s not easy, even he took his parents and younger brothers away after fighting with the villagers in their own village. I knew they were leaving so I went to see them off. That was the first time I saw magic, really It was amazing, someone told me afterwards that he was breaking the law, and they were going to sue him, but then they didn’t know why. Was he really breaking the law?”

"One of the moral principles of magicians is not to use magic casually for ordinary people who don't know magic, but your brother is a magic apprentice who has been eliminated. He doesn't belong to the ranks of official magicians. At that time, the situation was critical. If he doesn't take action, your parents and brother will definitely be punished." If the villagers were beaten to death, he has reason. Even if someone wants to sue him now, he can’t win. You don’t have to worry about this anymore. You stayed, and the stupid and ignorant villagers took revenge on you for all their fear of magic, and you should have gone with your family."

"If I hadn't been married, I would have been, but I'd been married for over two years, and my husband had a family of his own. I couldn't leave him alone. My brother eventually left me a sum of money to live on. , but my husband donated it to the church the next day, if I kept the money, I would have money to pay taxes, and I wouldn’t have to sell the land to be a tenant farmer.”

"Forget it, the past is over, don't think about it, I want to know your brother's current address more, and it is necessary to inform your family about your current situation."

Bei Rui's hands trembled so much that she could hardly hold the bowl, "My lord, it's not that I didn't tell you, I miss them too. He said an address at the time, but I forgot. I only know that it's not in the main city, but in something nearby." A place with a very strange name, and I don’t know if he is still living there now.”

"As long as he is still within the administrative scope of Soller City, he will definitely be found. Magic apprentices who drop out in the middle age already have the basic skills to make a living on their own. Yes, going to a fancy restaurant to eat is very arbitrary."

"He can live so well?" Bai Rui smiled happily, "No wonder he has the ability to pick up his parents and younger brothers."

"Okay, how is he doing now, we will know when we find him, tell me your maiden name."

"Laird, my brother's full name is Sana Laird, my father's name is Sage, and my mother's name is Edie."

Bai Tongtong copied these names in his notebook, "If he is making a living from his knowledge of magic, it is only a matter of time before he is found."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you!"

"After drinking, put the bowl down and go back to the room to rest, we have to wait for a while for dinner." Bai Tongtong glanced at the empty bowl in Bei Rui's hand, put away the notebook and walked back to the kitchen.

Bai Rui followed behind to the sink to wash the dishes, and then obediently withdrew.

Supper came on time, and Berry came down again to help clear the kitchen table, and the farmers ate in the kitchen, and she ate in the dining room with the servants, because she was a skilled worker.

Bai Tongtong was instructing the maids to decorate the plates. When she saw Bei Rui, she casually asked her about her eating habits, and learned that she didn't have many opportunities to eat meat, egg and milk. There is a fixed share, but she doesn't have it. She managed to save some money to buy chickens, but they were all stolen within a few days. As a farmer, her husband can only get some meat by slaughtering livestock in the village at the end of the year.

Bai Rui's words resonated with Abel and the others. They used to be self-cultivated farmers, and they can understand the bitterness of changing from a self-cultivated farmer to an exclusive tenant farmer. Bai Tongtong distributed Bei Rui's fried fish steak tonight to Linton and Ami Si, and then ask someone to fill her bowl with more fish fillets. If you haven’t seen oil star for a long time, you should just drink porridge for a few days.

Bernard led the servants to serve Bai Tongtong and the guests in the dining room. Through the screen, the maids were eating at the dining table behind him, so that when the servants could sit down to eat, the maids had already started cleaning the kitchen , instead of waiting until everyone has finished eating before coming to work.

Bai Tongtong didn't mind this at all. She knew that Barry was already a family member to Master Anmeng, and she wanted him to sit closer, but The old butler still insisted on his own opinion, and everyone finally let him go.

The fish porridge is served in a large soup pot. When marinating and cooking the porridge, Bai Tongtong put a little spice to remove the fishy smell and seasoning. When the lid was removed, the strong fish fragrance carried the millet porridge The aroma of the food enveloped the entire dining table. Master Anmeng opened his eyes wide and asked for a full bowl.

"They all say that cooking and eating is the way for the elderly and children to eat. I have always ground it into powder and steamed the dough and ate it. Hmm, no one would eat it." Master Anmeng smiled with a big appetite, A bowl of porridge soon bottomed out, and the bowl was removed and replaced with fish steaks to continue eating.

People who dine have no time to talk, the food has already filled their mouths, and it is the right way to bury their heads in eating, and dishes as plain as vegetables with oil have a delicious taste.

When the main meal was finished and the last fruit platter and tea were replaced, the few people finally leaned back in their chairs contentedly, enjoying the lingering aftertaste of drinking and eating.

"Tongtong's workmanship is amazing. If you have a banquet, you definitely have the ability to hold a banquet." Master An Meng rubbed his stomach, thinking about which old friend he should invite to have a meal with him.

"Speaking of the banquet, I'm planning to hold a meeting banquet. I've been here for so long, and the new village head and the new priest haven't met yet. I just know their names." Bai Tongtong threw out her plan.

"It should be. You are on the right track now. We should hold a meeting banquet. When is it going to be?" Master Anmeng strongly supported, and Pollock did not express any opinions.

"Because there's a big fish today, why don't you release the news that Bai Rui is with me tomorrow night and see their reaction."

"Want to fight head-on so soon? I thought you would use vegetable tactics to take down the land of a few villages first." Pollock still couldn't hold back.

"Many villagers have been secretly doing business with us, weaving vegetable baskets for us, and no one from the church stopped them. At least it shows that the new priest is sensible and not the stubborn type. Then I might as well tell them , Bai Rui, who they planned to burn to death, is now here with me. Let’s see if they want to make this a big deal or they can’t let it go. Cut off the root cause as soon as possible. The villagers in the church village are hopeless. It’s the fastest, if he dares to play a rogue and say that he can’t restrain those villagers, then he will wipe out the entire village in the name of heresy.”

Master An Meng's teacup was placed on the saucer with a bang, his face was neither cold nor calm, "Bold and reckless."

Barry didn't say a word, just lowered his head to drink tea and eat fruit, while Pollock's mind was racing, thinking about what useful information he had on hand just in case.
