Chapter 144 Departure
Gu Xiang thought about what happened in the past few days and fell asleep.
After sleeping until dawn, Gu Xiang had not opened his eyes the next day, he heard the rustling sound outside.
"Li Zhui, add another piece of firewood."
"Afon, you catch these two chickens and kill them. Remember the habit of taking care of the chef and be careful when you put blood on."
"Why."
Gu Xiang was stunned and looked out through the window, only a hazy shadow was seen. She hurriedly dressed and went out, and saw Lao Gou and Ermu sitting and standing in the pergola and talking.
Lao Du, Afeng, and Li Zhui from Yongyi Army were busy working next to the stove.
All kinds of miscellaneous work on the stove have been done, the radish is cut into slices, and the rice of various grades is classified into categories. The pots and pans are even clean and arranged neatly.
As soon as he saw Gu Xiang go out, Old Du smiled and said, "I finally saw you, Chu Gu, okay, peace is blessing."
Gu Xiang was also surprised: "Tu Du, you are not busy at Huotou Camp, why are you here with me?"
Afeng sighed: "There is no fire camp? The brothers of the Yongyi Army will be scattered and go their separate ways. Du Toer and I also took the money to sever the money."
Lao Du said, "My wife and I are the only ones in my family. I have had a son and married into other people's houses. I have never met each other in these years. I have been working in Huotouying for many years. I said that the cooking skills are not bad, but I can't make those fine dishes in the restaurant outside. Li Changsui told me that you are short of people in Chu Gu, so I thought that you might buy me, so that I can make some money so that I can buy rouge and water for my wife."
Gu Xiang: "..."
"It's not a joke." Old Du said softly, "Miss, Lao Du is honest, I really optimistic about your future. I have never enjoyed any blessings in most of my life. When I met you, I feel that I have met a noble person seriously, so I pointed to the future and followed you to heaven. Can I let my wife live a life that is not worse than other women in the future? It's all pointing to you."
Afeng laughed: "Anyway, I will follow Dutou. Dutou is smarter than me and has more experience. It is absolutely right to follow him."
Gu Xiang: "…can't afford it."
It's a joke that you can't afford it.
She really considered Du Tou's statement. After contacting these days, she knew Du Tou better. This is a kind person, very capable, and versatile. No one in the entire Yongyi Army did not say that he was good. Such a person would really help her around her, it would not be a bad thing.
"Talk a little while and cook first."
Gu Xiang looked at the chicken that Afeng had processed, and hurriedly packed it up, half braised and half boiled soup.
Soon, smoke from cooking was curling, and a long line was lined up in front of the cafeteria as usual.
But today there are two young and beautiful women in the team.
Both of them wore pink satin jackets and skirts, covered with rabbit-skinned cloaks, the same pair of maids, and their hair was covered with exquisite beads. They had fair skin. They looked like the villagers of Guzhuang.
"Is this what you are talking about? It's obviously what a bunch of rural blokes eat. I said, brother, you're too unsavory. As for Baba called us back to eat?"
Wang Tiesheng didn't care, and smiled and said, "Big sister, second sister, don't look down on the countryside. If it weren't for the people from Guzhuang, others wouldn't be able to eat it."
Zhou Dongniang next to him was talking to the neighbors. When she heard the movement, she looked at her and sneered: "Who am I? This is not Da Ya, Er Ya. Look at her outfit, I don't know that she is the daughter of the city. Why, you Xi Huange is not doing business today? You have time to come back to see your uncle and aunt?"
Before the two women in red spoke, Wang Tiesheng hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't be as knowledgeable as them. Every child is from every family and is ignorant."
Zhou Dongniang rolled her eyes: "I don't dare. They are amazing now. The people who come and go are all wealthy young men. How dare we, the poor people, provoke others?"
Gu Xiang looked up and didn't care.
The old dog whispered: "The two women are Wang Tiesheng's cousins. We don't know the original names, but we only know that they are now named Yingtao and Qiuli. The parents at home died early. They were sold to Xihuan Pavilion by their cousin as maids. A few years ago, the Wang brothers saved money and planned to use it to redeem them for both of them, but neither of them were happy. They said that they were the maids of Miss Xixi, which was a hundred times better than going out to get married. The Wang family was angry for a while when they saw that they refused."
"Wang Tiesheng is honest and kind. Cherry and Qiuli had a good relationship with him before, but now they have not lost contact."
Gu Xiang nodded.
She had the memory of the original owner, so she naturally knew the name of the Xi Huange.
The best brothel in Shouling County is Xihuan Pavilion. The famous prostitute in Xihuan Pavilion, Ms. Xixi, is a very famous prostitute in Shouling, with a high status and comparable to the stars of her era. I don’t know how many wealthy young men spend money just to appreciate Miss Xixi’s song and dance.
Miss Xixi is also a natural person who sells her skills and not her own. Regardless of whether it is true or false, she said so anyway.
Since these two women have become Miss Xixi's maids, their lives are naturally rich and well-behaved. Compared to the life of hunger and fullness in the countryside, it must be much better.
Things in the world are easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Even when they first entered the play, they still hoped that they would be redeemed one day, but after such a life of luxury and food, they would probably never suffer such hardships again.
Cherry and Qiu Li looked at Zhou Dongniang and sneered a few times, but didn't care about her.
Zhou Dongniang was so happy that she felt a little regretful after speaking in one breath. Although she looked down on the people in Xihuan Pavilion, she also knew that the people who came and went to the place on weekdays were big people. Her son was a small person in the county government. It would be hard to offend anyone. So she shut up and stopped talking.
At this time, the queue was finally reached Wang Tiesheng and the others.
Wang Tiesheng hesitated and bought two bowls of chicken soup for his cousin. Fortunately, his cousin was his serious relative, otherwise he would not be able to buy food even if he had money.
The people in Guzhuang do physical work all day long. In fact, they like to eat the most affordable food. They all like oil and salt, and they are not interested in soup and water.
However, there are many elderly people at present, they are not in good health and their teeth are not good. The chicken soup is nourishing and combined with medicinal materials can achieve the effect of diet therapy. Gu Xiangcai made chicken soup specially.
Because there was too much left, Gu Xiang scooped two large bowls for Wang Tiesheng.
Cherry and Qiu Li saw Wang Tiesheng coming over with a wooden tray from a distance, and frowned: "Drink chicken soup again?"
"Cousin, you can drink it. We Miss Xixi doesn't like to drink these soups. In the past, chicken soup was filial to our sisters' mouths..."
"Don't talk, try it."
Wang Tiesheng smiled and placed two bowls of soup in front of his sister.
Cherry was also stunned.
Chapter completed!
