Chapter 739

"Who is that raw face? Is it the temporary helper you called? " An old housekeeper with a stodgy face and a big back pulled meiranda aside, pointing to Qin Lun, who was cutting vegetables in the water pool.

Qin Lun's mastery and eyesight of cold weapons are overqualified to cut vegetables. It's no wonder that the old housekeeper thinks he is a helper invited by the cook.

"Chris? No, he is..." Meiranda shakes the fat on her face and introduces Qin Lun's origin in a low voice. "Tony said that without this young man, he couldn't handle the horses. What's more, the master is having a dinner today. The kitchen is a little busy, and it really needs people. "

"Groom? The master is looking for a professional groom, but the unknown people... " Old housekeeper Parker frowned a little and said nothing.

"Don't worry, Tony said hello to him and didn't promise him work. Just stay and have a meal with the servant. I heard that the child is hungry for several times! " The fat cook is a bit of a mother, she said sympathetically.

"All right!" The old housekeeper finally nodded and agreed, ignoring the little episode in the kitchen.

The Englishmen of this era, especially the aristocrats, can be said to have done no evil in the North American continent. They slaughtered Indians, sold the black triangle, used a group of black slaves and Chinese laborers as cattle, and all they did was anti human work.

In other ways, however, they are very gentlemanly. Since Qin Lun helped the manor a little and was a white Englishman, the old housekeeper would not let him return empty handed. Otherwise, it seems that the owner of the manor is too stingy. An excellent English Housekeeper will not let the owner get such a reputation.

The night outside the kitchen window became more and more thick, and a bright moon soon rose to the top of the tree.

Qin Lun is pickling and pulling a plate of mutton left over by the guests, while secretly listening to the whispers of the servants.

It seemed that it was a day when Sir Wilson invited some important guests. The maids in the kitchen were busy, while the maids had already put on decent tuxedos to serve the guests in the banquet hall.

For servants, it is a symbol of manor status that they can serve distinguished guests with trays in the banquet hall. Only housekeeper Parker and some of the better looking valets and valets can serve on this occasion. It is impossible for new servants and slaves to appear in the banquet hall.

Qin Lun had experienced all kinds of noble etiquette training before. There were elves and human society. Even the noble etiquette of the earth background was carefully studied. He was amused to think that he had seen some films in the film and television, pig feet pretending to be waiters, sneaking into the aristocratic banquet hall.

The real aristocratic banquet, even if it is held in the palace hall, can only accommodate hundreds of guests. The waiter in charge of the reception is about 20 to 1, that's 20 to 30 people, and they are basically high-ranking attendants, not too familiar with each other.

Unless there are many people to cover up, the strange waiter in the hall is just as eye-catching as the lice on the head of the monk.

As for any high-level banquet in the modern society, whether it's a parody of xxoo, or whether the waiters in it are all temporary hotel workers, maybe not even trained in formal etiquette. In the feudal aristocratic era, that is the level of the upstarts of rural landlords.

In the aristocratic manor, the servants usually eat after the master finishes eating, and the ingredients used are the leftovers.

However, when nobles hold large-scale banquets, they usually stay up to midnight or even all night. Therefore, the servants will eat in batches during the banquet, and many servants will eat the leftovers of the host and guests directly.

Of course, in many cases, the waiter in the banquet hall will directly bring most of the full plates back to the kitchen as "leftovers".

Qin Lun now eats this plate of mutton which meiranda gave him. When he first brought it, he only moved a few chopsticks on it, and half of them were given to another cook.

Qin Lun naturally doesn't mind if someone helps him to test the poison. He said that it's not a lie that he hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. Under the special care of the God of death, he ate the last meal in the wild camp on the island of montedishert.

The hustle and bustle of the manor slowly subsided. Some of the guests stayed at the manor, while others left in carriages. After arranging the host and the guests, the servants were finally able to take a rest.

At this time, Butler Parker takes Tony to find Qin Lun again.

"Chris, thank you so much for your help today!" The old housekeeper, with a gentleman's debt, took a five shilling silver coin from the inner pocket of the dress and handed it to Qin Lun. "But you know, this kind of performance can't help you stay at Wilson manor. It's your reward for helping today. Please take it."

"Oh, oh..." Qin Lun's face was a little red, and he was at a loss. He shuffled his hands on his T-shirt again and again, and finally looked for help at Tony behind the old housekeeper.

However, I don't know why. Tony's eyebrows are drooping and his eyes are looking down at his toes. He doesn't show any sign of helping Qin Lun.

Qin Lun's face finally showed a trace of despair. His pathetic appearance made several young maids looking at this side in the distance feel very sad. He lowered his head and said in a mosquito like voice, "thank you, sir. I'm glad I can help you, but the money is not needed. Today, I have eaten many delicious food that I can't eat in my whole life, which is enough for my reward. "Qin Lun raised his head and raised his mouth to show his young man's characteristic stubbornness. "I'll leave now. I'll look for a job in Mount town in the next few days. If Wilson manor still needs help, I hope Mr. Butler can give me a chance."

Then he pulled off his apron, grabbed the load from the corner, and walked to the right side of the kitchen, where there was an exit leading to the side door of the manor.

An honest and strong young man, if he is as Tony said, may be a good choice for the new groom! Old housekeeper Parker tucked the silver coins back into his shirt pocket and watched Qin Lun's frustrated back flicker.

"It's so late. Where do you want to go?" Qin Lun was about to step out of the kitchen door, but behind him came the old housekeeper's words, "if you leave now, sir, I'm afraid that I'm inhuman tomorrow. You can stay in the manor tonight!"

Qin Lun turns around and stares at the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper raised his chin slightly, and finally a smile appeared on his old face, "the manor would not have hired strangers from other countries, but we do need a new groom. I can give you a trial. If you do well in the stable in the next two months, I will suggest that Sir Alex keep you... "

"Thank you very much, Mr. Butler!" In Qin Lun's eyes, there was a flash of brilliance, almost blinding the old housekeeper and Tony behind him. Everyone in the kitchen seemed to be infected with the joy of the young man. Several young maids peeped in the distance even clapped their hands in secret.

It's just a night's work together, they all like this simple and hard-working handsome young man.

"Then I'll go to the stable now! " Qin Lun brings up the burden and wants to go out.

"No, the slaves have fed the horses. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" The old housekeeper Parker thought for a moment, and went on, "I remember there is still an empty room in the manservant's room. You go to sleep there today, and mistress Anne will bring you a set of bedding."

……

"Hey, Chris, Congratulations!" Coming out of the kitchen, Tony chased Qin Lun from behind and said with a smile, "I thought you would take that silver coin for a second!"

"Ah? Did I take the money and the housekeeper won't leave me Qin Lun asked in surprise.

"No, the old housekeeper will keep you for one night, but he won't let you try out the position of groom so easily. Maybe he will introduce some of the town's handyman to you tomorrow. Let's visit you for a month or two." Tony patted Qin Lun on the shoulder and pretended to be unpredictable.

"Thank you so much, Tony!" Qin Lun was sincerely grateful.

"No, just help me in the future." The young manservant waved triumphantly, "I'll go to bed first. Don't be too excited at night. You'll get up early tomorrow. The old housekeeper doesn't like others to be late."

"Mm-hmm!" Qin Lun opened his servant room with a pure smile.

After closing the door, Qin Lun's lips began to turn up slowly, and his mouth broke into a new moon. His white teeth glistened under the oil lamp. His simple and simple smile turned into an evil and full of silent laughter.

This round of performance made him extremely satisfied. It was almost the first time that he realized the supreme pleasure beyond the killing. So easy to play with these good people clapping, let him like drug addiction.

"What a pity! Too little time to stay, or it's good to play for a few more days! " Qin Lun sighed and threw the bedding on the bed. He just lay still and waited for everyone in the servant's room to go to sleep.

"Hoo..." The oil lamp beside the windowsill was blown out by a gust of wind. In the dark, there was a star light like the pattern of yin yang fish. Qin Lun used his left eye to gaze at the halo.

He looked at the four walls of the room, and his perspective made him see the movements of all the people in the servant room.

Everyone fell asleep, but he was a carp jumping out of bed, cautiously looking out of the window, and gently opening the door.

When the servant room on the first floor of the main building goes out, it is the reception hall. On both sides of the hall, there is an arc-shaped spiral ladder to go upstairs. On the second floor, there is the room for Butler Parker and senior servant. On the third floor, there are the rooms for the guests and the two small masters of the manor.

Qinlun's goal is on the top four or five floors, which are the most important VIP rooms today, as well as the bedrooms of the manor owner Wilson and his wife.

Although Wilson himself has not been contacted, Qin Lun now knows that he did not find the wrong person. Sir Wilson does have a problem.

Because when he was helping in the kitchen, he got a lot of clues from the servants' talk, especially about the information about the visiting guests today
