So, Barbaria gritted her teeth and asked the hostess to leave.
The hostess was a little surprised, but she compassionately gave her the corresponding wages and let her go.
Barbaria returned to her daily life, making bread in the bakery, and researching how to make military food that was easy to carry and could better replenish physical strength.
As the days passed, Barbaria spent time with Bread and Nedra in silence. Nedra found that her close friend had lost her former laughter and had become depressed.
Nedra asked about the situation, but Barbaria said nothing.
In this way, as time passed, Nedra became accustomed to Barbaria's state from the initial worry, and just often paid attention to her.
Early that morning, Nedra suddenly received news that he had to rush back to where he lived.
The person who came to inform was a white armband. Nedra asked her in surprise why she wanted to go back suddenly. The white armband said:
"I don't know either. I just know that the nun personally ordered it to summon all those who are good at cooking."
Only then did Nedra understand why she was not called Barbaria.
Although Barbaria also learned cooking skills, she is better at making lace and other tailoring-related skills.
Nedra and Barbaria said something and went back. Barbaria didn't care, and was in a daze while providing the citizens who came to buy bread the types they needed.
At night, as soon as Barbaria returned to her place of residence, she heard some whispers:
"Look, she is Barbaria. I heard that she seemed to have been spotted by a big shot three years ago, but it turned out that was not the case at all. The nun even provided her with a separate room."
"So it's her. She doesn't look any better except that her breasts are bigger?"
Barbaria heard it, but had no reaction. After three years of training and tempering, she asked herself that she was excellent both in figure and appearance, and was definitely not inferior as those armbands said.
But after hearing this kind of discussion too much, I wanted to make a distinction at first, but then I became numb.
Barbaria was also terrified that she was still living alone, but she asked the nun several times to go out, but the nun refused.
At this time, where the nun was working and praying, she was looking at a list of top cooks selected to be sent to the palace.
The nun did not dare to neglect, and based on her usual results and this surprise assessment, she listed several candidates.
She knew that there would definitely be more than just people selected from here to be sent to the palace this time, but she just needed to focus on the place she was responsible for.
The nun paused for a moment in front of a few names. Thinking of Barbaria, she couldn't help but hesitate. Then she put a check mark in front of Nedra's name and wrote the number one.
It's not that she didn't know about the rumors about Barbaria during this period, but she didn't want to care about them.
She also wondered why there had been no movement since the last time the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications came.
But she didn't dare to drive Barbaria out of that luxurious residence, otherwise what if the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications thought about it again.
Now it is a good opportunity to select excellent cooks to enter the palace.
She knew that Barbaria and Nedra had a good relationship, but Nedra was not the best in the cooking competition. She was not the first, but the second.
But considering the relationship between Barbaria and Nedra, and the fact that they were entering the palace this time, the Sister still hoped that Nedra would attract more attention, so that if he met the Minister of General Affairs, he might remember that there is another person waiting here.
White armband for three years.
Sister Linda passed on the order from the Mother Superior, and Nedra quickly received the notice and felt unbelievable.
She knows her own level. Although she is excellent, she is not top-notch here. How could she be ranked first?
But no matter what, what an honor it must be to enter the palace!
Nedra immediately found Barbaria and informed her of the good news. Barbaria was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"Nedra, this is really great. Although I don't know the reason for entering the palace, it must be a good thing. I didn't expect that we would also have this honor."
Nedra was very happy about Barbaria's attitude. If she hadn't been unable to stay in Barbaria's room, she would have wanted to spend the night with her little sisters.
The next day, Nedra and the other selected armbands all cleaned up and checked several times in person before boarding several luxurious carriages.
The armbands were envious as they looked at Nedra and others leaving in the carriage. Isn't it the kind of treatment only a noble gentleman can get in such a carriage?
There were several carriages driving to the palace, and the carriage in which Nedra was riding was just her and Aurora.
Aurora was tall and strong, a head taller than Nedra. Nedra and Aurora always felt uncomfortable in the same carriage.
Because Aurora's unabashedly jealous eyes were always staring at her.
Seeing Nedra looking at her, Aurora deliberately said in a voice that Nedra could hear but was full of hostility:
"Just like that little sister of yours, she is a big-breasted slut, and she stole my number one spot by some means."
Nedra could not believe it. This was the first time since the decree of Our Lady that someone dared to insult her in person.
And there is no doubt that the little sister in Aurora's mouth refers to Barbaria. Nedra's chest heaved with anger, but Aurora's sarcastic gaze was even worse.
Nedra asked:
"Aurora, have you forgotten the decree of Our Lady?"
Aurora said innocently:
"I haven't forgotten. The law says that armbands cannot cause trouble with each other, but I didn't cause any trouble. Does it mean that looking at your big breasts also violates the law?"
Nedra was furious.
She knew that Aurora was angry that she became the number one, but she didn't know why she was the number one.
Now that there were only two of them in the carriage, Aurora said she couldn't help it. Thinking that this trip was to the palace, Nedra ignored it and simply closed her eyes.
Aurora didn't dare to go too far and turned away with a cold snort.
She couldn't understand why her cooking skills were clearly better than Nedela's, so why wasn't she the first?
In the palace, Peter was talking to Catherine.
The two of them were very intimate, and Peter's hand gently caressed Ekaterina's belly. Although he couldn't feel anything yet, as soon as he thought of a baby inside, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
I traveled back a few years and became an emperor. Now my wife is still the famous Emperor Yeka. I have experienced multiple women and even have a daughter. This should be the pinnacle of my life.
But thinking about the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, while Peter was enjoying the warm harbor, he also felt a sense of urgency.
Before the war broke out, smooth concrete roads and good logistics were key factors that determined how much profit Russia could make.
