But even though she couldn't bear to part with it, she still changed into the gray robe for Service Disciple at dawn. She tied up her hair with a simple wooden hairpin.
She looked at herself in the mirror and felt quite satisfied. She thought that no one would be able to look at her for a while. That would be quite awkward for her.
After all, today was the first day she was going to work, she did not want to leave a bad impression on anyone.
Because Emerald Bamboo Peak was the most remote place, it was the farthest from the kitchen. However, because it was a flight, it didn't delay time.
When she went down the mountain and reached the kitchen, only Du Yu was there, wiping the stove and cleaning up the kitchen.
"Senior Du, you're so early. I thought I would be the first to arrive today." Hua Ruge greeted with a smile.
"Normally, I wouldn't come so early. I was afraid that you wouldn't know what to do today, so I came earlier to teach you." Du Yu opened his mouth and said, he sized up Hua Ruge's new outfit and laughed: "A beauty is just different, wearing it like a boy or it's just so beautiful."
"Senior Du, don't tease me, what should I do?" Hua Ruge walked up and asked.
"Although the work in the kitchen isn't right, it's very miscellaneous. You newcomers can just stay in the kitchen and listen to the masters." Du Yu said.
Hua Ruge nodded his head: "Thank you for Senior Du's pointers, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know where to start."
"You're treating me like a stranger." Du Yu approached her and asked: "What wine did you bring yesterday? We haven't had any before, and the masters are all cheering us on. "
"This is a new type of wine from the city below. Its name is Thyme Fructus, I bought it when I came up." Hua Ruge said.
She didn't dare to say that the wine was brewed by her. After all, the recipe needed to be kept a secret.
"So that's how it is, but it's really good wine. Last night, we drank half the night and got drunk to the point where we don't even look like we should." Du Yu praised.
Hua Ruge's face was filled with shame: "I forgot to tell you yesterday, although the wine was good, it tasted good, but it was strong.
"It's alright, we are all cultivators, it's not a problem to scatter some alcohol." Du Yu laughed casually.
Hua Ruge nodded.
Of the three masters in the kitchen, two of them came today, while the other one stayed on the mountain to cultivate. After chatting for a while, Hua Ruge became very familiar with the masters.
Today, that person called Feng Liu did not come, and it was also the day of rest.
And the one who should be here to work today was the Big Head Liu.
When Hua Ruge was helping Du Yu clean the table, he asked: "Why isn't the Leader here yet?"
"There aren't many things in the kitchen. The boss doesn't come often, but he should be here today." Du Yu looked at her and said: "You be careful."
"Senior, don't worry. I will." Hua Ruge nodded.
It was her first time here, and it was true that she did not want to cause trouble. After chatting with Shui Yunxuan yesterday, she felt that she should restrain herself even more.
Just as the two were talking, Big Head Liu walked in from outside. He smiled at Hua Ruge's appearance and asked: "Did you sleep well on Emerald Bamboo Summit yesterday?"
"It's pretty good. Thanks for your concern, Boss." Hua Ruge said politely.
Big Head Liu nodded, "That's good."
Hua Ruge quietly wiped the table.
"Oh right, you should put down your work. I'll arrange something else for you." The Big Head Liu said to her.
"Alright." Hua Ruge put down the cloth in his hand and walked over.
"We new people have to start by cutting down wood. Cultivating is like suffering." Big Head Liu patted Hua Ruge's shoulder and asked: "Are you alright?"2
Previously, Du Yu did not mention anything about chopping firewood, but now that Big Head Liu had mentioned it, she immediately understood what happened.
This boss really didn't want to make things easy for her.
"I can boss, just tell me what to do." Hua Ruge very obediently agreed.
Big Head Liu nodded his head: "That's fine, you can go up the mountain and cut down the hundred trees. You can finish it today, how about it?"
"Alright." Hua Ruge nodded.
Although this matter was obviously difficult, she really couldn't do anything to him.
"A hundred?" At this time, Du Yu walked over, but before he could finish, Big Head Liu extended his hand out to stop him.
"I only lowered her by half because she was a girl. You don't need to say anything, just take her with you." Big Head Liu said.
Hua Ruge rolled his eyes, but did not say anything.
Du Yu could only nod his head at Big Head Liu's words.
Big Head Liu turned his head to look at Hua Ruge again, and seemingly said amiably: "However, even though I've reduced it by half, a girl like you might not be able to complete it. Don't worry, come and find me if you're in trouble."
As he said that, he patted Hua Ruge's shoulders.
Hua Ruge laughed and nodded: "Thank you boss for your care, but I will do my best, even if others can do it, I can."
"Is that so? "That's good." Big Head Liu retracted his hand, and no matter how he looked at it, the smile on his face was not that pure.
Du Yu brought Hua Ruge to the back of the mountain, and said while walking: "I really didn't think that he would do this."
"Senior Du, what's wrong?" Hua Ruge asked.
"We, as newbies, are here to do the heaviest work, which is to chop firewood, but we are all men. I thought there would be a special exception when it came to you." Du Yu said regretfully.
"Then how many do you want others to cut? Fifty? " Hua Ruge asked again.
Du Yu looked at her with some astonishment: "You guessed right."
"He wants me to bow my head to him. It is inevitable that he will deliberately make things difficult for me." Hua Ruge said, and then said, "But what I find strange is, aren't I just chopping down trees? It's not hard for us to cut ten thousand a day, let alone a hundred. "
"You don't know. There is a red fir tree in our sect that contains a large amount of Essence Qi. We need this wood for cooking, but this wood is very hard. Using Sword Qi to cut it would harm the Essence."
"Therefore, I can only use brute force to chop, so I'm worried that a girl like you might not have much strength, and might not even be able to chop twenty or thirty stones a day." Du Yu looked at her worriedly after he finished speaking.
Hua Ruge laughed after hearing it, "Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I've been like a wild boy since I was young, the strength I have is not small, I can give it a try."
"If that doesn't work, then come back earlier. At most, you'll admit your wrongs and he won't be able to do anything to you." Du Yu said.
"Understood, thank you senior brother." Hua Ruge was truly very grateful to him.
This red cedar tree mountain was to the south. It only flew for a short while before it arrived.
Hua Ruge stood at the bottom of the mountain. The mountain took up a lot of space and there were red cedar trees everywhere. Some of the branches had been cut off, only some roots remained.
Hua Ruge was not in a hurry to cut down the trees.
