Chapter 145 The photo in the book

   Zhou Bai walked into the baking room.

  Those things that make 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 to make.

   Austin stood by, correcting Zhou Bai's mistakes from time to time.

   At around 6 pm, 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.

   “It was negotiated 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 in his pocket with a smile.

  "My students, they really learned my good quality of keeping promises.

Not bad. "

   Zhou Bai shook his head helplessly.

  Christmas cake baking skills have been learned, but on the 24th, he has to make his own Christmas cake.

  The castle’s kitchen doesn’t have all the tools, so it can only make do with Boots’ cooking skills.

   As for big projects like making Christmas cakes, that kitchen is not enough.

   At that time, I 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, right? "

   Austin nodded in agreement.

   "I think that among the good morals of human beings, generosity is also included, and they don't care about everything. That's right?"

   Austin touched the gold coins in his pocket with a smile, then nodded.

   "It's because of you that I can learn and become a better person."

   Austin raised his head, helped his chef hat, and said with a smile.

   "It makes sense for you to say that."

   Zhou Bai looked at him, suppressed a smile, and continued.

   "On the 24th, I'm going to make a Christmas cake.

  My generous teacher will definitely help me prepare the materials and lend me his baking room early in the morning.

  Are you right? "

  Austin raised his head high and spread his hands, "Of course."

  So, without spending a single gold coin, Zhou Bai obtained the materials for the Christmas cake and the right to use the baking room for half a day for free.

  By the time Zhou Bai walked to the bakery, Austin hadn't noticed anything wrong.

  Still picking up his small mirror, happily arranging the hair under his chef's hat.

   Zhou Bai ended relatively late today, and Boots had already stood outside the bakery for nearly half an hour.

   Zhou Bai walked over, and Boots opened the car door for him.

   Then, Zhou Bai said to him.

   "Go back to the castle."

   It was a rare day that Zhou Bai didn't want to go to other places, but went back to the castle directly.

  Booz didn't say much, and drove in the direction of the castle.

  After returning to the castle, Boots went to the kitchen to cook, while Zhou Bai walked into the study on the second floor.

  Outside the window of the study on the second floor, bald Jim appeared in front of the grave with his chainsaw to cut trees.

   "Zi la zi la zi la..."

  His chainsaw was making noise, even Zhou Bai could hear it clearly in his study.

   Zhou Bai took out the two rules from the drawer again.

  Look at the contents inside.

  Article 5 of the Castle Survival Rules.

  【In the old castle, please do not make loud noises, so as not to disturb your neighbors. 】

   Make loud noises in the castle, for fear of disturbing the neighbors.

  The bald Jim saws wood in the cemetery every day, isn't he afraid of disturbing the "neighbors"?

   Zhou Bai thought of this, opened the window, and looked at where the bald Jim was.

   Do you want to discuss this issue with him?

  While Zhou Bai was thinking about this question, Boots just finished cooking and walked up.

  He knocked lightly on the door of the study room, Zhou Bai turned to look at him.

   "Sir, it's time to eat."

  Thus, Zhou Bai's eyes moved away from the bald Jim.

  It seems that the question to be discussed has to be postponed.

   Zhou Bai walked to the front of the desk, put the two pieces of paper on it back into the drawer.

   Then followed Boots to the restaurant.

  After dinner, Zhou Bai returned to his study.

  By this time, Bald Jim probably has gone home.

  The sound of the chainsaw no longer came from outside the window.

  Zhou Bai sat back on the chair in front of the desk, looking at the two rules in the drawer.

   On the night of the 24th, it was an obvious life and death situation.

  But Zhou Bai got too little correct information.

  Tomorrow is day 5.

  Strictly speaking, he only has two days left to prepare.

   And 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 unfinished.

  The progress is still too slow.

  Thinking of this, Zhou Bai began to feel a little anxious.

   Standing up, frowning, thinking hard.

   And on his feet, he unconsciously paced back and forth in the study.

   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 didn't raise his eyes to look at the books on it.

   Until he stopped.

   When the eyes unconsciously skipped over the bookshelf, they found something unusual on the bookshelf.

   A bookshelf is full of books, each of which looks very serious.

  There is only one book, which is placed in the corner, but the cover looks very different.

  Looking at the cover alone, Zhou Bai guessed that it should be 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 Boots moving tables and chairs because of cleaning.

   Zhou Bai held the book in his hand, and for some reason, he walked to the door and locked the door of the study from the inside.

   It wasn't until after this was done that Zhou Bai sat down in front of the desk with the book in hand, and then slowly flipped through the pages one by one.

  There is nothing wrong with the content of the book.

   This is an ordinary children's book.

  However, when Zhou Bai turned to one of the pages, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

   Only one photo appeared in front of Zhou Bai.

  There are three people on the photo.

  A man, a woman, and a little boy.

   Specifically, this should be a family portrait.

   But when Zhou Bai saw the faces of the three people above, he was the whole person, and he was shocked.

  That man, Zhou Bai saw him in the photo album in the living room.

  Booz said that he was the previous owner of this castle.

   And the woman next to him has long hair.

  A pair of blue eyes, looking towards the camera, showing a bright smile.

  Zhou Bai's pupils shrank slightly, and he hurriedly looked at the little boy among them.

   It is no surprise that his eyes are also blue.
