The First Day of Life in the Other World

The setting sun cast its glow.

Lin Ze, accompanied by numerous servants, was inspecting the entire residence.

When he had just bought the residence in the afternoon, it exuded an aura of disarray everywhere.

Dust was everywhere, fallen leaves fluttered, and occasionally spiders scurried about.

However, after the diligent cleaning by numerous servants, the entire mansion had been restored to cleanliness, at least on the surface, there was nothing unusual.

The furniture in this residence was basically still there, except for the need to add some personal daily necessities, it was ready to move in directly.

Therefore, tidying up was not very difficult.

As for the many details, it would require subsequent management.

After Lin Ze finished looking at the entire residence, he returned to the main hall with a group of twenty-four servants.

His gaze was calm as he looked at the servants in front of him who had already signed lifetime employment contracts.

These were all carefully selected by him in the afternoon, adhering to the three requirements of having family, voluntarily selling themselves, and having a peaceful temperament.

Having family meant having attachments, voluntarily selling themselves meant having a harmonious relationship with their families without resentment, and having a peaceful temperament meant they would not be wicked people.

Some of these people were because their families had encountered misfortunes and needed a lot of money, some were because they couldn't get enough to eat at home, and some were to marry wives for their brothers, in short, they voluntarily sold themselves...

Through personal conversations with these servants, as well as the information provided by Shi Shanbao, Lin Ze finally selected the people in front of him.

Only these carefully selected servants had the potential to become confidants in the future.

"Master, do you see if there is anything else that needs to be tidied up?"

The leading maid, Xiang Xue, cautiously asked.

She had been taught the knowledge of housekeeping in the brokerage, so at this moment, in addition to serving as Lin Ze's personal maid, she also doubled as a housekeeper, responsible for scheduling all the servants' work.

And now, it was time for Lin Ze, the new boss, to check her work results.

In fact, these four maids, in addition to their beautiful appearance, also had their own strengths, otherwise they would not have the nerve to charge Lin Ze two hundred taels of silver.

While Lin Ze and Xiang Xue were talking, the other servants stood quietly aside.

When Lin Ze bought them in the afternoon, he had talked with them.

At that time, many servants judged that Lin Ze was not a difficult person to get along with, but that was ultimately the first impression.

Now that they were truly getting along, everyone inevitably seemed cautious.

"In the next few days, you can take some time to prune these flowers and plants to make them neat and beautiful."

Lin Ze pointed to the freely growing flowers and plants in the yard and instructed.

"Okay, I will remember."

Xiang Xue nodded in agreement.

She didn't know how to prune flowers and plants, but another maid named Fei Hua did.

"Did the donkey cart return? Also, has the letter to County Magistrate Li of the County Government Office been delivered?"

Lin Ze walked towards the dining room, asking Xiang Xue beside him.

"Er Hu has returned with the donkey cart, and he has also gone to the County Government Office to meet County Magistrate Li, delivered the letter written by you, Master, and County Magistrate Li sent back a letter in return."

Xiang Xue replied, handing over an unopened letter as she spoke.

County Magistrate Li and Lin Ze hit it off right away, and he invited him to stay at his home temporarily.

However, Lin Ze found a house with rapid progress in the afternoon and bought servants.

In this way, there was naturally no need to stay at County Magistrate Li's house and bother him.

But it was a bit inappropriate to leave without saying goodbye as a guest, so Lin Ze wrote a letter, stating that after he settled down, he would definitely pay a formal visit to apologize and invite him to celebrate the Housewarming Celebration.

Now that he received a reply, Lin Ze opened it and read it.

As expected, County Magistrate Li didn't mind, and replied that Lin Ze should take care of his business first.

From the casualness between the lines, it could be seen that he really didn't feel offended.

"Well, let's have dinner then."

Lin Ze put down the letter and nodded.

Soon, led by the two chefs, many strong women came up with dishes.

According to Lin Ze's instructions, eight dishes and one soup were prepared today.

The two chefs came to work for Lin Ze for the first time, and they had the idea of showing off their skills, so they started preparing in the afternoon.

The dishes on the table at the moment were all their specialties.

There was mutton, chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, egg custard, and even a bear paw.

As the master and servants were getting along for the first time and there was no trust, the chef took the initiative to taste a little of each dish to show that there was no problem.

After waiting for a few minutes, the two were no different.

At this time, Lin Ze moved his chopsticks.

"Not bad."

Lin Ze tasted them one by one and gave his approval.

The chef hired for one hundred and twenty taels was indeed skilled. Although he was limited by the lack of rich seasonings in the agricultural society and could not make very complicated flavors, he did a good job in restoring the original flavor of the ingredients.

At least Lin Ze was very happy to eat that big bear paw.

This is a protected animal in the Main World, and few people can eat it.

As for this Other World, it doesn't matter. It's easy to buy with a little money.

Although Lin Ze had a big appetite, he didn't finish a big table of dishes.

And the rest of the food was for the four maids beside him.

The chefs had already tasted the flavors when they were cooking. Although they didn't dare to eat too much, they were still full after making so many dishes and matching them with rice.

The remaining strong women and laborers were now eating the large pot of rice prepared for them by the chef.

According to Lin Ze's requirements, some minced meat and enough salt were added to the large pot of rice, and they could eat their fill without limit.

In this day and age, it was difficult to eat a full meal.

It was even more difficult to eat a full meal with enough oil and salt.

These details reflected the good treatment that Lin Ze, the master of the house, gave to everyone.

"Master is really a good person."

Many servants ate the tasty large pot of rice, and compared to the days when they couldn't eat their fill every meal, they couldn't help but feel moved.

On Lin Ze's side, after eating and resting for a while, he took a bath and changed his clothes with the help of Xiang Xue and Fei Hua.

The other two maids, Xia Ye and Qiu Ge, took the newly bought bedding to tidy up the bed.

Soaking in the large bathtub, feeling four soft little hands scrubbing his body, Lin Ze looked at the beautiful faces of the two shy young girls in front of him, and couldn't help but let out a long breath: "This is the life a rich man should have."

After the bath, the bed was also made.

Next, it was time to sleep.

The other servants were already sleeping in the servant rooms arranged for them at this time.

"Master, we will live in the outer room, call us if you need anything."

The four maids saw Lin Ze lying down, helped him cover the quilt, and said softly.

"Okay, go to sleep."

Lin Ze said.

The four maids bowed and saluted, then retreated.

Tonight, the four of them would take turns guarding the night in pairs outside, so they could be called directly if Lin Ze had any needs.
