I have to say that the food cooked with Baizhi is delicious.
I don't know what's wrong with this little girl. In addition to her excellent swordsmanship, her life skills are also fully maxed out. She can set up the kitchen with her hands and scold the mute with sign language. It seems that she is born with these skills.
It seemed like she already knew these skills when she was sent here from her motherland at the age of ten, but no one knew how she learned them.
mother country...
What a distant word.
A big part of the reason why I am in such a difficult situation now is due to my motherland, but there is nothing I can do about it, as this is indeed the case in Kenya and Lebanon.
In fact, the royal families of Gan and Li are from the same family, both with the surname Ying and clan Zhao. Five hundred years ago, the ancestor of Gan State, because of his disagreement with the political views of the then King of Li, took his relatives to the Western Wilderness, fought against the barbarians such as Quanrong and Di State, and finally obtained the appointment from the Emperor of Zhou and became a new vassal king.
The Zhao family was abandoned and the ancestor's Ying family name was re-used.
Although the country has made great achievements in war, it has always been poor due to its barren land.
However, the growing territory led to its neighboring Yan State joining forces with the Quanrong and Di States to attack Gan State from both sides. Gan State was in great distress and could only ask for help from the Li State, which had the same ancestry as it.
The Li State and the Yan State had always been at odds with each other, and Li did not border the Gan State, so they readily agreed and eventually forced the Yan army to retreat.
But at the same time they put forward their own conditions, one of which resulted in Ying Wuji and his son being held hostage.
Now, Li State is Gan State's money bag, and Gan State is Li State's vanguard in weakening Yan State's power. It can also resist the harassment of the demon tribe, so both sides do not want the diplomatic relations to be damaged.
I am just a young man with mediocre qualifications and am destined to be a victim.
However, after the cheat was installed, everything became uncertain.
After the meal, Ying Wuji was not sleepy at all. Instead, his thoughts were much more divergent. He was thinking about all sorts of things like a brainstorming session.
As a result, Bai Zhi talked a lot and he didn't hear clearly.
"Master! We are really out of money right now. I just checked the kitchen and found that several ingredients are gone. Can you give me some silver so I can buy some sesame, tofu, cabbage, etc. tomorrow?"
"Madou? What Madou?"
Ying Wuji woke up as if from a dream.
Bai Zhi scratched her head and repeated what she had just said.
Ying Wuji had a headache: "Are we so short of money now? How much money do I have in my private vault?"
This little girl has always been his personal housekeeper, and she has always been in charge of the accounts of the private treasury.
As for the money in the private treasury, it comes from the embassy's funds. There is a fixed quota every month. It should be enough for normal spending, and a lot has been saved. How come he can't even afford sesame tofu?
"There is still one hundred taels left, but I also need to order a new dress for you at the literary meeting next month."
"So little? Where did the money go?"
"They were all taken to the brothel by the young master."
“…”
"Sir, why don't you take a look to see if there is anything left on you."
"Okay!"
Ying Wuji searched his body for a while and only found some small change, but it was barely enough for their expenses, so he stuffed it into Bai Zhi's hand.
The little girl was a little bit unbelievable: "Is this all that's left?"
Ying Wuji nodded: "Yeah..."
The little girl was shocked: "Others would spend a month in a brothel, but you spent it all in just three days!"
"Who told you that others can spend a month?"
"I heard it from Gongzi Dan."
Prince Dan was also a hostage sent to the State of Li. His motherland was a small country called Wu. The other hostages looked down on him, but Ying Wuji was polite to him, and they became friends after a while.
"What kind of idiots does Wu Dan have? Going to a brothel is like being tortured. How much money can he afford?"
Ying Wuji cursed and said, "Go to Xun Zhiyin and ask for more. Although the embassy funding has been cut in half, more than half of the people have returned home, so they should be able to approve some more."
Bai Zhi pursed her lips, a little angry: "I went to look for him, but Lord Xun said that the motherland's finances are tight recently, and they need to prepare resources for Master Wuque to impact the first-grade spiritual fetus. The merchants of the motherland in other countries are also in a downturn, and they can't spare any money for us."
She could understand that Gan Guo was poor, after all, it had always been like this.
But she couldn't stand the fact that the money she squeezed out was used to give to the illegitimate son named Ying Wuque, which made the young master suffer.
hiss……
Ying Wuji had a headache. When it rains, it leaks. A phoenix that falls to the ground is no better than a chicken.
But this Xun Zhiyin is really a piece of shit. He used to be servile and fawning, but now he uses these excuses to evade the issue.
He waved his hand: "Alright! I'll take care of this matter. You can spend the silver and the 100 taels of new clothes for the literary gathering as you see fit. Don't be stingy!"
Bai Zhi opened her eyes wide: "Sir, are you not going to buy new clothes this time?"
In the past, the young master always regarded himself as the prince of a great country. He would definitely pay attention to anything that could be paid attention to. Whenever there was a large-scale gathering, he would buy a new luxurious dress. Why did he change his personality today?
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "I can barely afford food, and if I buy those useless things, isn't that just pretending to be rich? The literary gathering is over, and I have an extra piece of clothing that I don't wear often, and my maid who I often use has starved to death. Isn't that a big loss? Go quickly, and don't save money in the future."
"Um!"
Bai Zhi was very happy to hear this. After three days in the brothel, the young master had indeed become different and was much easier to get along with than before.
It seems that I have to spare more money to let the young master go to the brothel in the future.
Her face flushed and she skipped away.
The servants do the washing of dishes, so Gan Guo is not so poor that she cannot afford to hire a dishwasher. As for cooking, it is because she cooks better than the cook.
