Chapter 186 Case File 3: The Mystery of Rose Villa Begins (2)
The path that Yadra took Jiangyou and Andre was naturally the servants' path.
As a transparent skeleton, Jiangyou's mentality is very calm: she is just a cook who comes here to make money, not a noble who comes here for pleasure. Naturally, she will take the side road if the master tells her to, and sleep in the servants' room if the master tells her to... She even sleeps on a bed in her own brewing workshop!
——The money-loving Skeleton never complains about the environment. As long as the employer pays her promptly, everything can be negotiated. If he doesn't pay, she can also let Andre negotiate with the other party (physics).
The conditions in the servants' rooms are not bad. Although each room is relatively small, it is a room for one person after all. It has a bed, a window, and a set of tables and chairs. It looks quite cozy.
"There's one here, and there's another across the street. You can decide which room you want to take." Yadra handed the two keys to Jiangyou. "Here are the keys. Please keep them and return them to me on the day you leave. By the way, please take this."
Yadra pulled out a map and handed it to Jiangyou. "This is the mansion's food delivery map. It has its own magic. Just hold it and it will show the holder's location, the desired destination, and the fastest route according to their needs. I have bound it to the summoning bell in the mansion."
As she spoke, she took out a small kitchen bell and showed it to Jiangyou. This bell was the most classic British metal style, like an upside-down small bowl, with a raised button on the top. When pressed, it would make a crisp sound. "Try it?"
Jiang You followed his instructions and tapped the summoning bell. Suddenly, two crisp ding sounds were heard, one from the summoning bell itself, and the other from the map in Jiang You's hand.
Jiangyou looked down at the B5-sized parchment map, and saw that it now showed the corridor they were in. Next to the stick figure symbol representing the map, there was a stick figure bell with a red light.
Yadra said to the summons bell, "Please send me a sandwich."
A box immediately appeared in the blank space on the side of the map, and a flashing red bell icon jumped out, followed by a line of words: Please send a sandwich.
"Wow, how convenient!" Takumi exclaimed, then tilted her head: "If multiple bells ring at the same time, how do you know which is which?"
"Different bells will display different colors," Yadra said. "To make it convenient for guests to order at any time, you must quickly prepare a daily menu based on the ingredients prepared in the storage room, including light meals, snacks, drinks... If you need any other ingredients, just tell Richard and he will go to the city to purchase them. As for the ingredients you provide, all expenses will be borne by us. Just quote the price to Richard when the time comes. The paper and pen for writing the menu are on the small table in the room. Please feel free to use them.
"Richard will come to collect the menu every morning at 6:00. To avoid dissatisfaction among our guests, it's best to ensure that there is an adequate supply of dishes on the daily menu. It doesn't matter if some ingredients are wasted. The key is to ensure that all guests are satisfied and happy with their meals, and that there are no problems with the food." Yadra winked at Jiangyou. "If they are happy with their meals, they might even give the chef some tips! You can keep any extra rewards for yourself."
"Leave it to me!" Jiang You's eyes sparkled - in addition to wages, there were actually tips to be had!
"Okay, I won't disturb you from moving your luggage, preparing food, or resting." Yadra smiled at the two. "There's a hot spring and sauna in the backyard. Servants and hired workers can use them freely from midnight to six in the morning. Cleaning time is from six to ten in the morning, and guests are welcome from ten to midnight. Please be mindful to avoid them."
—Hey! You can even take a bath and use a sauna! These are some pretty good perks!
"Excuse me," Andrei suddenly asked, "are there any guests staying here tonight?"
"Yes." Yadra nodded. "I've cast a mansion spell on the guest list I just gave to Ayou. It will automatically update according to the status of the guests, showing whether they have checked in, gone out for fun, or left early. You can make preparations in advance based on the information on this list.
"Guests arriving tonight have already had their own dinner, but if they come to the kitchen and request a midnight snack, please try to accommodate their request."
After repeatedly emphasizing the importance of taking good care of the guests, she left with the butler Richard. Jiang You and Andre looked at each other and said, "Well... shall we pick a room first?"
——Actually, there’s nothing much to pick.
The furnishings of the two rooms were exactly the same, with paper and pen on the desk. The only difference was that one was on the left side of the corridor and the other on the right. Jiangyou didn't care about the accommodation conditions, and Andre was also flexible. After determining which key corresponded to which room, the two of them each took one - Andre on the left and Jiangyou on the right.
After choosing a room, the two went into Takumi's room first. Andrei held out his hand to Takumi and said, "Let me see the guest list."
Jiang You herself was also very curious. She unfolded the parchment and glanced at it briefly. Thirteen long names jumped into her non-existent eyes.
[Vivian von Leicester, daughter of the Marquis of Leicester, has moved in and loves sweets;
Victor von Neumann, son of Baron Neumann, has moved in and hates spicy food;
Earl Winston de Mordor, not yet in residence, preferences unknown;
Yisi Huo Linde, not yet in residence, preferences unknown;
Count Valentine de Rosewood, not yet in residence, loves the scent of flowers;
The Countess of Durand de Canberra, who has not yet moved in, is very particular about everything;
Baron Cameron van Chand, not yet in residence, allergic to nuts;
Baroness Eleanor van Chand, not yet in residence, vegetarian;
Peter Ho Kasmanda, former court jester, not yet in residence, alcoholic;
Samantha Ho Lal, a former maid in the palace, has not yet moved in. She likes sweet and sour food.
Daskus Van Gentry, historian, not yet in residence, prefers light food;
Ceylon Ven Casbelo, magician, not yet in residence, loves spicy food;
Landna van Betan, botanist and toxicologist, not yet in residence, meat lover.
Seeing the familiar names at the front of the list, Andre couldn't help but curl his lips: "Sure enough, this is Madame Butterfly's party... Vivian is already here."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the list change. The names of Winston, Is and Samantha suddenly flipped up and moved between Vivian and Victor's names, and the status of "Not Checked In" behind them was changed to "Checked In".
Andrei had an idea and picked up Jiangyou's delivery map. He found the servant's passage closest to the front door and walked quickly there.
