Chapter 3 Diet
After receiving the reward from Miss Six, Chu Tianshu returned to Qi Zhongliu's courtyard.
At this time, Qi Zhongliu had already sent someone to change his slave status from Manu to Shutong.
For a slave, this was an incredible class jump.
The house slaves in the courtyard who were responsible for doing some chores were very envious. Two of them were even willing to help Chu Tianshu carry the sundries he had left in the Manu dormitory.
"Brother Chu, this is your future residence." A little maid smiled and pointed the way to Chu Tianshu, and said with envy: "This is your only room."
Chu Tianshu followed the little maid's guidance and casually glanced at his so-called "room".
This is a small room of only twenty square meters at most, with a bare wooden bed in the room, a wooden table that has begun to decay, and two wooden benches.
A very simple pigeon cage, but even this is already something that is beyond the reach of domestic slaves.
"Thank you." Chu Tianshu thanked the little maid.
Then the two servants who volunteered to help Chu Tianshu move his bedding and daily necessities also came back.
Chu Tianshu wanted to put the things down by himself, but the two people enthusiastically helped Chu Tianshu put the things down together.
The work of making the bed was volunteered by the little maid, while the work of sweeping the dust and cleaning up the garbage was completed by two domestic servants.
Quite attentive.
Chu Tianshu thought that he should give the three of them some money, but when he took the money out, the three of them were unwilling to accept it.
After giving in, Chu Tianshu did not force himself.
Later during dinner time, the young and cute maid even brought Chu Tianshu a lot of pastries and leftovers that had been returned from the kitchen and eaten by the masters.
"I'll just eat a piece of pastry. I'm not hungry." Chu Tianshu took a symbolic piece of pastry.
"Brother Chu, don't you like these things?" The little maid tilted her head from the side and looked at Chu Tianshu: "Then I will take less in the future."
"I quite like it, but I have a small appetite and can't eat too much." Chu Tianshu replied.
In feudal society, as long as the class is promoted, the goodwill that comes naturally will be endless.
"Brother Chu looks very much like the second young master." the maid said.
Chu Tianshu glanced outside: "It's a little late."
"Yes." The little maid said sensibly, "I have to go to the kitchen to help pack things."
As she spoke, she packed up all the leftovers she had brought and put them on the table in Chu Tianshu's room: "Brother Chu, keep these things for you to eat when you are hungry at night."
Chu Tianshu looked at her diligent and skillful movements and said nothing.
"What's your name?" Chu Tianshu suddenly asked when the little maid was about to leave.
This was a question that the little maid had been waiting for for a long time. She said with some joy: "My name is Hongyu."
"The name is quite nice." Chu Tianshu praised.
Hongyu smiled and ran away.
Chu Tianshu watched her leave, then turned around and took the leftovers to reward the two servants who helped him move his things.
These two people were originally eating among a crowd of people. While eating, they talked about interesting things in the house and exchanged interesting things with the servants in other courtyards.
When he saw Chu Tianshu arriving, he quickly stood up and responded, feeling flattered.
"In the afternoon, you helped me move so many things, but you refused to take my money, so I thought I would find an opportunity to take you out for a good meal in a few days, but I can't let you go out today.
In order to save my strength, I ate some vegetables and rice without oil and water. After thinking about it, I brought some leftover rice to eat with you. Don’t be dissatisfied." Chu Tianshu said, opening the paper bag packed with red jade.
It is said that it is leftover rice, but in fact, most of it is the better part of the leftovers that the owners eat after one or two bites and then no longer eat it.
These leftovers contain chicken and meat, and most of them are untouched pastries.
The people who eat in the service room are all domestic servants who do hard work. They usually have no oil and water to eat, and they do hard work. Seeing this now, they can't eat.
As Chu Tianshu spoke, he handed over the leftovers and said to the people around him: "You have to work hard for a few days during this period. After a few days, I will talk to Young Master Seventeen and give you some lightness."
Do the work."
"Thank you, Brother Chu." Lin Hao earned enough face in front of his companions and was very grateful to Chu Tianshu.
Zhou Yin was also very grateful and apologized repeatedly.
Chu Tianshu said again at this time: "The few leftovers are worthless things, and there are quite a lot of them. Brothers, if you don't mind, you can come and eat some, and by the way, help me take care of me."
Two brothers, they are still young and still growing, so they cannot do any heavy work."
The servants present looked at the oily chicken legs in Chu Tianshu's hands and cheered repeatedly: "I must help you take care of them."
As he said this, a group of people came over to share the leftovers.
The leftover rice brought by Hongyu was too much for two or three people to eat, but there were ten or twenty servants in this room eating, and these things were distributed to everyone, but it was only a little bit.
Rather than asking people to supplement nutrition, it is better to take it out to satisfy their cravings.
However, for Lin Hao and Zhou Yin, the most important thing is not having a full stomach, but the face in front of their companions, and the care given to them when they share the leftovers.
Although it is just a casual talk, among the ten or twenty people, there will always be someone who will really take care of them.
After all, Chu Tianshu said that they were brothers.
"Then I'll go back first." Chu Tianshu finished dividing the leftovers and patted Zhou Yin on the shoulder.
"Brother Chu, let's go slowly." Zhou Yin and Lin Hao were very reluctant to leave.
It's not that the feelings are very deep.
The three of them were just strangers, and Chu Tianshu didn't even remember their names.
After returning to his "room", Qi Zhongliu sent someone to look for him again.
"Chu Shuban, Master Seventeen asked you to come over and see him." The visitor said to Chu Tianshu.
When Chu Tianshu heard this, he nodded: "Excuse me, why is Master Seventeen looking for me?"
The visitor shook his head: "I don't know, Young Master Seventeen just fell asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up and asked you to see him."
"I understand, thank you very much." Chu Tianshu handed over a two-cent coin.
The visitor touched the two one-cent coins and accepted them happily.
These two cents are one-tenth of Chu Tianshu's monthly salary.
Arriving at Qi Zhongliu's residence, he was sitting in his study in a daze.
Chu Tianshu saw Li and called him several times for a while before he came back to his senses.
As soon as he came to his senses, he immediately pulled Chu Tianshu over and sat behind the desk in the study. He pressed Chu Tianshu on the chair and said, "Come on, come on, come and write a few poems for me."
"Can you write poetry?" Only at this moment did Qi Zhongliu remember his symbolic question.
