Josh shrugged: “Where can’t someone with a fever sleep?”
The girl seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed: "Okay, then go to bed, I won't disturb you."
Josh nodded, said goodbye to his teammates, and then left the restaurant.
However, she did not go back to the room immediately, but turned and went to the kitchen.
The maid at the door stopped her again, with an unhappy look on her face: "I think Mr. Thomas has made it very clear that you can't go into the kitchen."
Josh smiled kindly, "Of course I know that, but I just found a very useful spice and want to give it to the chef. He will definitely like it. I think he is the kind of person who is very passionate about ingredients and spices."
A hint of hesitation flashed across the maid's face.
Josh knew she was right.
The maid still stood in front of her: "No matter what, you can't go in, otherwise Mr. Thomas will be angry."
Josh smiled and said, "Mr. Thomas is very busy every day. If you don't tell him, how would he know that I was here? You help in the kitchen every day. If the chef knew that you brought me in to deliver spices to him, he might be very happy. If he is happy, he might promote you to the position of kitchen manager."
Hearing about the promotion, the maid's eyes lit up visibly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded: "Okay! Come with me."
Josh smiled and said, "Thank you, beautiful lady."
The maid's expression became more friendly when she heard this: "Go this way, be careful not to bump into anyone."
Josh continued to flatter her: "You are such a nice person, so thoughtful. Mr. Chef is so lucky to have you around to help him."
The maid could hardly hold back her smile: "No, Mr. Chef is a gentleman and elegant. It is my honor to help in the kitchen."
Josh was brought to the chef, who was preparing the ingredients for the evening.
Seeing her coming, the chef looked a little surprised: "Why are you in the kitchen again?"
Josh smiled and said, "I found some small plants in the backyard this morning. After grinding them into powder, I found that they were particularly fragrant. I thought that perhaps you would be interested in them."
The chef was really interested: "Oh? Show it to me."
Qiao Xi handed him the thirteen-spice powder that he had exchanged from Pinxixi in advance, unpacked and poured into a small bag.
My senior sister said that this thing is a specialty of her hometown, and just putting a little bit in the dish can make the dish extremely delicious.
The chef took a little powder from it and sniffed it. Then he tasted it and his eyes lit up: "Oh my God! This is incredible! Where did you find it?"
[Ding! Gained 10 points of favorability with the chef, currently at 40%.]
Qiao Xi smiled slightly: "It's in the corner of the backyard. There is only one plant like this. It is particularly fragrant. I originally wanted to pick it as a spice, but this smell feels more suitable for cooking, so I thought of giving it to you first."
"Thank you, my distinguished guest! It was the wisest choice for His Royal Highness the Prince to invite you to the castle as a guest!" The chef had an excited smile on his face.
Qiao Xi showed a bit of helplessness on his face again: "I have to go. It's really annoying. I have to change rooms tonight. You know, I'm sick and I'm a weak woman. I don't know if I can choose a room."
Upon hearing this, the chef pondered for a moment and said, "This is indeed difficult. You are too weak."
Josh nodded seriously: “Yes…”
The chef hesitated for a moment, picked out the largest long knife from the kitchen utensils, and handed it to Josh: "Maybe you can use this."
[Ding! Congratulations on getting the item, a long knife that is extremely sharp and can cut anything into pieces.]
Qiao Xi took the kitchen knife, which was almost as tall as her, with satisfaction, and showed a bit of embarrassment on her face: "This knife looks very well made and extremely sharp. I have never seen such a beautiful and sharp knife. It should be a very precious thing of yours, right?"
The chef smiled and nodded. "This is a long knife that I use to cut up large fish and seafood. It's very sharp. Cutting meat is as easy as cutting tofu. I can lend it to you for a few days."
Josh put the props into the system warehouse: "Thank you so much."
She said goodbye to the chef and went back to her room.
Before I could close the door, a hand reached in from outside and held it.
Josh raised his eyebrows. Are you so impatient?
She opened the door and saw the quadruplets outside.
The older sister of the quadruplets smiled and waved at her: "Hello, I know you, your name is Qiao Xi, right?"
Qiao Xi smiled kindly in return, took the initiative to open the door, and stood sideways: "Thank you for your visit, please come in first."
Several people looked at each other and saw the tacit murderous intent in each other's eyes.
Josh had already turned around, greeting them in while going to make some tea.
Without even turning her head, she said, "Please come in and close the door. I have a fever and can't use the cold air. I have a severe headache."
"Okay." A voice sounded behind me.
In the room diagonally opposite, Mina and Zoro looked at the closed door number four and shook their heads at the same time.
This kind of idiot deserves to die.
Those people obviously had bad intentions, but she actually opened the door and let them in.
Mina felt a little sorry: "She was the weakest, with E-level mental strength, and she had a fever, so it was the best to attack her. Unfortunately, the two pairs of twins got the kill first."
Zoro patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. We'll wait until the twin sisters are alone before we take action."
Mina nodded.
After a while, screams were heard in the room.
Mina and Zoro were guarding the door.
They wanted to grab the room, and apart from Josh, they could only start with the two pairs of twins.
They dare not mess with the other four golden trouble-makers.
After a while, the door opened.
Mina and Zoro craned their necks, only to see Josh.
Josh coughed twice and saw the team in the opposite room.
The two teammates were discussing something in the room, and Mina and Zoro were standing at the door.
Josh was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Hello."
Mina looked at her in shock: "How could you possibly..."
Zoro interrupted her and said to Josh, "We just saw the two twins go into your room. Where are they?"
Josh smiled and said, "In my room, but my room is too cold, ahem... I'm just going downstairs to find Mr. Thomas and ask him to change me to a room with a fireplace."
Zoro and Mina stared at her without blinking, as if trying to find out something from her.
Josh ignored them and went downstairs.
Mina looked at her frail back.
With his thin arms and legs, his weak and feeble steps, and his coughing after every two steps, he looks easy to kill.
"Have they not started yet?"
Zoro thought for a moment and said, "But there was indeed a scream coming from the room just now."
Mina wanted to check her room, but found the door locked.
The two had no choice but to give up.
