Alien landlady

Chapter 16 Rejecting the Challenge
When Aini walked into the restaurant, the people who were dining raised their heads to pay attention to her, and the kid Carjado was there, waving his arms flamboyantly, asking Aini and the others to sit with him.

Now, it is estimated that the whole school should know that the young lady of the Viscount Drago family of Fort Zammington is in the same camp as the young master of the Duchess Kalyja of the Duchy of Tamil.

Then Ted also came to the restaurant, and naturally sat with Ani and Kalljado, but it was still unavoidable that Noral, who was overwhelmed by the stars, sent someone to invite him, and Ted was still the same as before. Come back in the morning, don't sit there at all.

After breakfast, Aini broke up with Kalljado. She took Bai Tongtong to continue working for Mrs. Wogan. Classes will start tomorrow, so make sure everything is safe.

Hill went to the free market to buy vegetables, probably never knowing what a thick-skinned Carjado said, and Bai Tongtong said it would depend on the workload in the morning, and Hill would buy a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Carljado hesitated for a moment, the temptation of rubbing food surpassed the disgusting vegetables and fruits, and he was even willing to be in charge of grocery shopping, as long as he could eat with Bai Tongtong.

Bai Tongtong had no choice but to meet such a stalking Cengfan family. She pointed at Ai Ni, and it was up to her to decide.

Ai Ni didn't even think about it, she just nodded, for her, it was simply her wish.

So the matter was settled like this, Bai Tongtong had four more mouths to serve.

Before parting ways at the entrance of the restaurant, Bai Tongtong did not forget to tell Hill to buy a live chicken and a few bottles of good wine, and she could handle the rest.

You must have good wine, cheap wine is really sour and can be used as vinegar.

But Ai Ni and the others misunderstood Bai Tongtong's meaning, thinking that there was wine to drink today, and everyone was very happy.

I have been busy in Mrs. Wogan's office all morning, and I finally finished transcribing and sorting out a table of materials, and waited for Mrs. Wogan to receive the last freshman who showed up from the classroom. A piece of paper, Bai Tongtong also started to help, and finished it in a hurry, and it was half past lunch time.

Afternoon was finally all right, Mrs. Wogan took Ai Ni and Bai Tongtong to the teaching restaurant for dinner. The food was not much richer than the student meal, but the menu was different, and the teacher had an extra glass of wine.

They each took their dinner plates and sat down, chatting while eating. Mrs. Wogan was already well-informed and knew that Aini was from Kalljado's faction. She cautiously reminded Ani to pay attention to her relationship with her classmates. Since Aini has chosen to be friends with Kalljado, all his political allies, the students in the whole school are divided into circles in front of her, who she can make friends with, and who she should keep a distance from.

As for the Marquis of Aronson, he is a politically neutral faction, so his nephew has become the object that some students are eager to win over.In this way, it is easy to understand the purpose of Noral's persistent invitation to Ted to have a meal together every day.

Mrs. Wogan kindly reminded her that she has taught in school for so many years and knows many stories. Ani has helped her reduce a lot of workload in the past two days, which is considered as a reward.

Bai Tongtong ate with her head down and didn't talk too much. This matter has nothing to do with her.

Back at the dormitory after the meal, Hill bought the ingredients that Bai Tongtong had given. Bai Tongtong was busy in the kitchen all afternoon, killing the chicken, plucking the feathers, deboning, and cutting the meat. Pile beans and diced vegetables together to make stir-fried diced chicken, dilute the batter and spread pancakes to wrap diced chicken, and cook noodles in chicken stock.A frying pan that is only suitable for pancakes and steaks is useless for cooking. Bai Tongtong shook the pan while swearing that he must find a blacksmith to make a frying pan.

Carjado came here excitedly for dinner, and generously told Aini that from tomorrow onwards, Sudi and Hill will jointly arrange the grocery shopping.

Bai Tongtong has no objection to whoever buys the vegetables, but Carjado wants to have three meals a day, that’s not enough. The number of times she cooks has to be arranged according to Aini’s class schedule. Breakfast must be eaten in the school cafeteria. If there is no class in the afternoon, she can cook lunch and dinner that day. For dinner, I only cook dinner when I have classes in the afternoon.

Carjado reluctantly accepted the plan with a wrinkled face, but soon he became happy again, wandering around in the kitchen, eagerly waiting for the chicken soup on the stove.

Hill and Su Di were chatting on the sidelines, and they talked about the small animals sneaking in to dig up the garbage in the middle of the night. It is impossible to poison them, so they can only go to the street to see if there is any broken copper and iron that can be taken back as garbage bucket lid.

Dinner was finally served, and Bai Tongtong gave Carjado a bowl of chicken soup alone, and she cooked the rest of the noodle soup. The dough was rubbed out on a colander, and served with diced vegetables of about the same size, diced mushrooms, and minced meat Boil it into a thick soup and sprinkle some spices.

Hill and Su Di were in charge of serving the dishes. Bai Tongtong took off her apron after finishing her work and went to the restaurant to eat at the same table with Ai Ni and the others. The wine-burned wings and chicken legs were the most praised. Carjado wiped his mouth and said that if It would be nice to have wings and drumsticks bought separately on the street.

Bai Tongtong also hopes, but it is obviously impossible.

After eating, drinking and resting, Carjado touched his full stomach, and said goodbye to his dormitory with the expectation of tomorrow's delicious meal.

After cleaning, I still choose to put the garbage in the garden. Aini is a little worried that if it is placed in the kitchen, small animals looking for food in the middle of the night will get in through some holes in the house to dig through the garbage, so in order to make myself feel at ease, I would rather tomorrow morning Sweep the garden again.

Early the next morning, Bai Tongtong came back from a run in the morning, and as expected, he saw garbage scattered beside the trash can in the garden, but because it hadn’t rained recently and the ground was dry, he couldn’t find the way for small animals to come in, so he had to clean it up silently. Then start practicing boxing.

At breakfast, it was still the same as yesterday, sitting with Kalljado. Ted came late and couldn't sit together, but he still didn't accept Noral's invitation, preferring to sit elsewhere with his male servant knights.

With Mrs. Wogan's explanation yesterday, Bai Tongtong can fully understand Ted's behavior. The family's political attitude is neutral, so his friend selection also has his circle.

Today is the first day of formal classes. After leaving the restaurant, the students rushed directly to the auditorium of the teaching area to attend the opening ceremony. In the spacious and bright auditorium hall with a rectangular dome, carved columns, painted walls and colored windows, all the teachers and students sat down. The principal Speak on the rostrum and introduce the teachers who are in charge of different tasks to the freshmen, similar to the dean or something.

An hour later, the opening ceremony ended, and the students left quickly through the gates in three directions, returning to their respective academies and classes.

When they were in the auditorium, the students were sitting around randomly. When they entered the classroom, Bai Tongtong and Aini were very surprised to see Carjado and his two knights.

"What's the matter? Your name is not on the student list I copied, Carjado." Aini was sure of this.

"You didn't have it when you copied it, but it's easy to add another name." Carjado raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Well, Master Kalya is really very smart." Bai Tongtong flattered her casually. Isn't it clear why this kid temporarily changed the teacher in charge.

Caljado knew that Bai Tongtong had figured it out when he saw him, so he gave her a flattering smirk.

Facing this smirk, Bai Tongtong decided to forgive the young master for his sudden "surprise".

"It's time for class, you two hurry up and sit down, I'll go later. Don't fight in class." Bai Tongtong pointed to the two boys and girls warningly, and sat in the empty seat in the last row of the classroom.

Naino and Joel, the two knights of Calljado, sat beside Bai Tongtong. After all the students arrived, there were six guards in the last row. Naino quietly told Bai Tongtong that besides herself, the other five Everyone is a knight, and among the knights, there are two attendants of two noble ladies.That is to say, there are five noble students in this class, of which Carjado is the only one with two knights, and from the perspective of clothing and equipment, Naino and Joel are the most reflective of their own financial resources.

The first class was given by Mrs. Wogan. The first-year freshmen took a complete basic course of magic theory. After Mrs. Wogan introduced herself concisely, she started the teaching process. Before entering the School of Magic and Martial Arts, students also need to receive basic education such as Chinese, mathematics, history and geography, otherwise sitting here will be like listening to heavenly scriptures.

Originally, people with magical talents accounted for only a few percent of the total population nationwide. Coupled with the requirement of receiving ordinary basic education, children who could still enter school, their families had at least the upper-middle-class living standards.

Judging from Bai Tongtong's life experience in the past two months, families below the middle class will not be able to invest in their children's education, especially if there are several children in the family, they will always give priority to education for boys, and the middle and upper middle classes can guarantee every child in the family All equally enjoy the educational resources provided by the family.

Looking at the students sitting in the classroom, there are more boys than girls, and the national flag-colored robes cover the clothes inside them, but the ornaments on the girls' heads have already explained their family background.

But it is also true that the huge expenditure of magic education is unbearable for poor families. Even if the national treasury pays for the tuition, living expenses and other necessary expenses are still a lot of pressure for a family.

The basic theory of magic is no more difficult for Bai Tongtong than those students, but apart from this one, Bai Tongtong can easily grasp other content related to natural science, and can memorize it after listening to it. She is quite surprised how her memory suddenly changed. so well.

The theory class takes a whole year, just to consolidate the basic skills. The advantage of the long class time is that the class time is not long every day. There are three classes in the morning, one class for one hour, and a quarter-hour break between classes. Six days a week, one or three There are no classes in the afternoons of the five and six days. Although the classes are full-time in the second and fourth, but they can sleep in in the morning, there is only one class in the afternoon.In fact, this basically means a half-day theoretical class a week, but students also have a practical class to learn meditation, and students should practice diligently during the break time when there is no class.

Today happened to be Wednesday, and it was a break in the afternoon. Bai Tongtong listened to the magic theory in his head, and ended the last class in the morning in a daze. trails.

Carjado took Aini and walked together. There was no class in the afternoon, and Bai Tongtong was going to cook at noon as agreed. He and Aini had guessed all morning about what food Hill and Sudi would buy.

They followed the crowd to the playground, and the second and third graders also came downstairs one after another. The playground, which was bigger than a standard basketball court, was full of colorful robes as far as the eye could see.

Aini looked enviously at the group of seniors passing by in front of her, and she was one of them.

When they walked to the middle of the playground and were about to turn back to the path back to the dormitory, a strange male knight who was walking obliquely in front of them suddenly turned around and blocked the way of Bai Tongtong and his group.

Kalljado has the highest status, and Naino and Joel immediately stood at the front without hesitation, keeping Bai Tongtong and Aini behind.

The knights exchanged knight etiquette very politely. After the greetings were over, the other party took out his white gloves and directly challenged Bai Tongtong who was standing behind.

Bai Tongtong has long seen that the comer is not kind. This is not what the knight himself meant at all, but what the noble lady standing behind him watching the show meant. But this lady is not from class three like Ai Ni, which is even more strange.

Bai Tongtong has nothing to do with the knight at all. She claims that her profession is a mercenary. Now that the knight is challenging the mercenary, the noble lady who gave this order is a fool. Maybe she was instigated by others.

"I'm sorry, I have to accept someone's challenge? I'm not a trickster in the street." Bai Tongtong responded to the poor knight with the rogue manner of a mercenary. The heels are down.

Carjado, Aini, and the two knights didn't think Bai Tongtong was telling a funny joke. They all walked around each other with serious faces, and walked away without looking sideways under the watchful eyes of the surrounding students.

After returning to the dormitory area, the two groups broke up first, and Carljado went back to his own dormitory to clean up and come back later.And in Ai Ni's dormitory, the fresh ingredients bought early in the morning are all here. Bai Tongtong first went to the kitchen to take a look, and told Hill what to prepare, and then she went upstairs to change clothes, drink some hot water, and copy her hands. Sitting in the kitchen like a chef in charge.

Su Di bought a lot of meat, so Kalljado had a great time eating lunch and dinner. With his joy, Bai Tongtong ate all the fruits and vegetables that Bai Tongtong forced him to eat, but because Su Di The random purchases caused some fresh meat and ingredients left after dinner, and Carjado made it clear that he would never eat anything overnight, and even the boiled water he drank in the morning had to be boiled.

Bai Tongtong felt that it was a pity, but the living habits of the nobles were like this, and she couldn't correct it, but when cleaning up, she put the meat aside, found a burnt and blackened wooden shallow plate from the corner of the cabinet, and put it on the table. The meat was cut into small pieces and piled up in a mountain on a plate on the kitchen windowsill above the trash can.

Since small animals cannot be prevented from sneaking in in the middle of the night, fresh meat is healthier for wild animals than garbage.
