nami rises and straightens her kennel....she then walks to the wash basin in the kennel and washes her face and hands...slipping on the silks for working outside.
she walks through the HS in the quiet and sees that all has already been tended to yesterday in the HS before Master took all to visit at Hulneth.
Smiling she thinks of the evening before as she walks into the servery...she decides to give the animals a treat today ... she goes through the fruit and veggie bins that Master made for her to store the fresh things in and takes out any that are bruised or have bad spots in them and places them into a bucket she keeps beside the bins.
Filling it full with the old fruit and veggies, nami walks to the chillery and looks over the meat and seeing some that has been in the back for a week she takes it and places it with the pail to take outside...looking around she takes note of what things are in need of replenishing and then satisfied walks out of the chillery and closes the door. nami then takes up the pail and the meat and walks outside to the tarn pens, taking care that they are all away from the enclosure she goes into the area where they sleep and feed, she places the meat into the feeding trough and pours the veggies and fruit on top of it, setting the pail down she takes a pitchfork from the wall and lifts out the old hay in the stalls and throws it over the low window into the mulch pile for fertilizing the gardens. she then spreads fresh new hay out in the sleeping areas and finishes up by looking around and seeing that all is neat and clean. she then leaves the tarn pens quickly, picking up the pail as she leaves, turning she makes sure that the gate is locked behind her tightly and walks to the garden. looking around she digs up some carrots, some suls and then picks some peas and corn fresh from the garden and also a large bunch of katch, placing all of these in her pail, then at a last thought she turns back and picks some fresh peppers and adds them to her pail.
Walking inside the HS she sets her pail on the counter and then walking to the servery shelves she picks up another clean pail and looks at the shelf of clean pots and pans, she takes a bread pan and a large pot and carries them to the counter, placing them upon the counter. nami then takes her clean pail and pads to the water barrel and looking inside smiles as it is full she dips out water to fill the pail and takes it back over to the counter where she pours it into the dish basin and and she places the suls, carrots, and peppers into the basin of clean water, rinsing them carefully. taking a clean repcloth she places it , spread open, upon the counter then placing the washed veggies upon it to dry
she then cleans the corn and rinses it in the same manner and places it to dry beside the other veggies.
As they dry she takes her pail and walks back to the water barrel and fills her pail full again, this time she walks to the counter and pours some of the water from the pail into the clean kettle pot she then places the corn into the pot and sets it to the side. she then empties the water from the dish basin and then pours the rest of the water from her pail into it and places the katch in it . taking a knife she cuts the carrots in half lengthwise and then in half again making carrot sticks to snack on for Master. Walking back to the servery shelves she chooses another clean kettle from the shelves and a large bowl. then looking to the shelves where the food is kept she opens the sa tarna flour and measures out 2 cups into the bowl and takes these back to the counter. Setting the things down she takes the kettle to the water barrel with her and fills it one half full of water and carries it back to the counter, she then shells the fresh peas and suls into the water and adds some salt from the spice rack on the counter. This done she lifts the now heavy kettle and carries it to the hearth and hangs it upon a hook to cook. she returns to the counter and returns to the hearth with the kettle of corn and places it on a hook as well. she reaches under the counter and gets another clean bowl and places the fresh katch into it and carrys this with her to the chillery.
opening the chillery door and feeling the blast of cool air upon her skin makes her shiver slightly, walking inside she places the bowl of fresh katch just inside the doorway to stay cool and looking around she takes the pitcher of fresh bosk milk and a tray of cheese and walks out of the chillery closing the door firmly behind her. walking to the counter she places her items down on the counter and then she pours the milk into the bowl of flour making a thick dough. this she pours into the baking pan and places the lid firmly on top, she then takes a cutting knife and slices the cheese into small slices upon it's tray for snacking. She returns to the chillery to place the milk back and takes out a package of bosk steak and leaves the chillery for the last time.
She takes the steaks to the hearth and places them upon the wire rack that Master installed into the hearth to slowly grill them. while they are grilling she walks back to the counter cleaning any mess that she has made and then reaching under the counter, pulls out a large, clean platter to place the steaks upon when they are done. nami takes the platter to the hearth and sets it upon the shelf, while she turns the steaks. Carefully she pulls Masters off of the rack as He prefers His barely cooked. turning the other steaks until they are done she then places them carefully upon the platter and quickly stirring the peas with suls she takes the steaks back to the counter and covers them with a clean repcloth to keep them warm. Then walking to the servery she takes down plates and food utensils and carries these into the Great Hall and sets places at the table. she then returns to the counter and brings the platter of steaks and the platter of cheese and the bowl of carrots and places these upon the table. she returns to the hearth and taking some repcloths she lifts the peas and the corn from their hooks and carefully as to spill none and to not burn herself she carries these to the table and places them with the rest of the foods.
then last she returns to the counter and places the peppers into a small clean bowl and takes these with her to the hearth and taking more repcloths she lifts the heavy pan of bread from the ashes and carries these to the table placing them with the other foods. She takes the lid from the pan of bread and inhales the good smells that permeate the room. Finally she smiles knowing that she is done, she heads for the slave baths to relax for a little while before Master has need of any further services.
