The things for making Christmas cakes have been placed on the table in advance by Austin.
Zhou Bai stood in front of the table, picked up the tools, recalled what he had learned on the first day, and then started making.
Austin stood by and corrected Zhou Bai's mistakes from time to time.
At around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Bai finally made a Christmas cake under Austin's guidance.
He looked at the cake in front of him, then took out two gold coins and threw them to Austin.
"We agreed on the first day.
If you can learn it in three days, I will give you two more gold coins."
Austin took the gold coin and put it into his pocket with a smile.
“My students have indeed learned my good quality of keeping my promises.
Not bad."
Zhou Bai shook his head helplessly.
He has learned the skill of baking Christmas cakes, but on the 24th, he still has to make his own Christmas cakes.
The kitchen in the castle didn't have all the tools, so it could only make do with Buz's cooking skills.
As for a big project like making Christmas cake, that kitchen is not enough.
At that time, we will still have to borrow Austin's baking room.
So, Zhou Bai said to him.
"You're right.
A teacher must have good moral character so that his students can learn from him, don’t you think?”
Austin nodded in agreement.
"I think that among the beautiful qualities of human beings, they also include being generous and not fussy about anything. Isn't that right?"
Austin smiled and touched the gold coins in his pocket, then nodded.
"It's all because of you that I can learn and become a better person."
Austin raised his head, adjusted his chef's hat, and said with a smile.
"What you said makes sense."
Zhou Bai looked at him, suppressed a smile, and then said.
"On the 24th, I will make a Christmas cake.
My generous teacher would definitely help me prepare the materials and would lend me his baking room early in the morning.
Are you right?"
Austin raised his head high and spread his hands, "Of course."
As a result, Zhou Bai didn't have to spend a single gold coin, and got the ingredients for the Christmas cake for free, as well as the right to use the baking room for half a day.
By the time Zhou Bai walked to the bakery, Austin hadn't noticed anything was wrong.
He still picked up his small mirror and happily arranged the hair under his chef's hat.
Zhou Bai ended late today, and Buzz had been standing outside the bakery for nearly half an hour.
Zhou Bai walked over and Buz opened the car door for him.
Then, Zhou Bai said to him.
"Go back to the castle."
It was a rare day when Zhou Bai didn't want to go anywhere else, but went back to the castle directly.
Buz didn't say anything, and drove the car towards the castle.
After returning to the castle, Buz went to the kitchen to cook, while Zhou Bai walked into the study on the second floor.
Outside the window of the study room on the second floor, Bald Jim appeared in front of the grave with his electric saw again, cutting down trees.
"Zila, zila, zila..."
His chainsaw made a noise that even Zhou Bai could hear clearly in the study.
Zhou Bai took out the two rules from the drawer again.
Look at the contents inside.
Rule 5 of the Castle Survival Code.
[In the castle, please do not make loud noises to avoid disturbing your neighbors.]
I make loud noises in the castle for fear of disturbing my neighbors.
Then Bald Jim cuts wood in the cemetery every day, isn't he afraid of disturbing his "neighbors"?
Zhou Bai thought of this, opened the window, and looked at where Bald Jim was.
Do you want to discuss this issue with him?
When Zhou Bai was thinking about this problem, Buz finished cooking and walked up.
He knocked lightly on the study door, and Zhou Bai turned to look at him.
"Sir, it's time to eat."
Then, Zhou Bai's eyes moved away from Bald Jim.
It seems that the issues discussed need to be postponed for a while.
Zhou Bai walked to the front of the desk and put the two papers on it back into the drawer.
Then he followed Buz and walked to the restaurant.
After dinner, Zhou Bai returned to the study.
By this time, Bald Jim had probably gone home.
There was no more sound of chainsaws outside the window.
Zhou Bai sat back on the chair in front of the desk and looked at the two rules in the drawer.
On the night of the 24th, it was a matter of life and death.
But Zhou Bai still had too little correct information.
Tomorrow is day 5.
Strictly speaking, he only had two days left to prepare.
But now, he has only invited 3 friends.
Moreover, the true identity of each friend is still unclear.
In addition, candles, records, and candies are all not yet available.
The progress is still too slow.
Zhou Bai started to feel a little anxious when he thought about this.
He stood up, frowned, and thought hard.
As for his feet, he was pacing back and forth in the study room unconsciously.
On the bookshelf behind the desk, there is a cabinet full of books.
The pages of the book are covered with dust.
Every time Zhou Bai passed by the bookshelf, he never raised his eyes to look at the books on it.
Until he stopped.
When my eyes unconsciously passed by the bookshelf, I discovered something unusual on the bookshelf.
There is a bookshelf full of books, and each one looks very serious.
There is only one book, which is placed in the corner, but its cover looks particularly different.
Just looking at the cover, Zhou Bai guessed that it was a children's book.
Zhou Bai looked at the book, then reached out and took it out.
Upstairs in the study room, there was the sound of Buzz moving tables and chairs for cleaning.
Zhou Bai held the book in his hand, and for some reason, he walked to the door and locked the study door from the inside.
It wasn't until he finished this that Zhou Bai took the book, sat down in front of the desk, and slowly started flipping through the pages.
There is nothing wrong with the content of the book.
This is just an ordinary children's book.
However, when Zhou Bai turned to one of the pages, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.
Only a photo appeared in front of Zhou Bai.
In the photo, there are three people.
A man, a woman, and a little boy.
Specifically, this should be a family photo.
But when Zhou Bai saw the faces of the three people above him clearly, he was completely shocked.
Zhou Bai had seen that man in the photo album in the living room.
Buz said that he was the last owner of this castle.
The woman next to him has long hair.
A pair of blue eyes looked at the camera, showing a bright smile.
Zhou Bai's pupils narrowed and he hurriedly looked at the little boy among them.
