10. Guo Fengxiao
Fang Xia waited for Wang Si to come back.
He went to inquire about Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao and Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, compared to He Yi and Pei Yuanshao, Fang Xia seemed to be more interested in these two.
I enjoyed the cook's meal at noon, which was not too delicious, but it was also within the range of bearing. After all, Fang Xia came from the later generations, it was an era with a variety of cooking methods, and now there is only simple steaming, which is limited to this box, and there is no stir-frying, and it is really difficult to play tricks.
While her mother was cooking, the little girl finally found an opportunity and slipped to Fang Xia's side, looking at her with sparkling eyes. Although she was not yet an adult, only people over the age of sixteen would have a military general template, but it was obvious that Fang Xia's previous favorability still worked, and the little girl's eyes when she looked at her showed obvious intimacy.
Fang Xia was a face control, of course she didn't hate this jade-like girl, so she asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Thank you, sister, for taking my mother and me. As she spoke, she wanted to kowtow to Fang Xia.
Fang Xia grabbed her and said with a smile, "Your mother cooks for me, so I pay her, which is a very fair thing." She felt that the little girl and her mother had stayed with their skills, and this was not an admission. Fang Xia didn't have the spare time to eat rice, but she didn't mind that her cook had a daughter. Just such a little girl, how much can she eat?
"So it's not a take-in, you guys stayed on your own, understand?" Fang Xia said to her.
The little girl didn't seem to understand, but she nodded.
"Why are you disturbing adults here!" Chef Gan, who found that her daughter was missing after cooking, was very anxious, but when she found out that her daughter was actually here in Fang Xia, she was immediately startled, for fear that her daughter would do something to make Fang Xia unhappy, and then their mother and daughter would have to wander again.
"Don't be so nervous," Fang Xia felt that her surprise was really a little too much, so she said, "Madam Gan, I can call you that, right?"
"I can't help it, where am I a lady. ”
Seeing that he couldn't make sense of her, Fang Xia rolled his eyes in his heart, and didn't bother to continue the ink with her, and said bluntly: "Since I have hired you as a cook, I am my own person, and I will not drive your mother and daughter out at will." And Ling Qianjin is very cute, I don't think she bothered, if you want, I want her to follow me as a disciple. ”
This little girl looks so good, Fang Xia feels that if she grows up in the future, she will definitely be a great beauty. With such a look, even if she is a woman, she is so beautiful and beautiful, it is enough to leave a name in history, right? But maybe in the end, she didn't grow up smoothly, and she died in the war, and she couldn't become famous like this.
However, this girl's mother said that her husband's surname is Gan. The more Fang Xia thought about it, the more reasonable it became, after all, if he wanted to say that he was surnamed Gan at the same time, there could be two beauties of the same age with jade-like skin like jade as few words recorded in the history books, and one of them was also touched by her, it was too much of a coincidence.
Since he had this guess, Fang Xia had the idea of accepting apprentices.
Since women in this world can also be officials, although they are always a little more difficult than men, but there is no too obvious gender discrimination, Fang Xia is called an adult by his subordinates, obviously has an official position, if she is accepted as a disciple, it will suddenly become a scholar from the civilian class. Such a leap is like pie in the sky, she never dreamed of it.
Hearing Fang Xia's words, the newly appointed Gan Chef Niang showed a shocked look, and then immediately grabbed the little girl next to her, knelt down, and said, "Thank you for your grace, it's her honor to see this girl, don't thank you soon." ”
The little girl obediently knelt down.
Fang Xia didn't pull this time, apprenticeship is a very important thing, she really deserves this worship.
After the big salute was over, Fang Xia pulled her up and asked, "Does she have a name?"
"Please give me a name. ”
If she has, she can use it without a name. Fang Xia said. She doesn't have a hobby of changing people's names casually, she just wants to know how to call them. Seeing that Chef Gan replied no, Fang Xia said, "In this case, how about being called Ganyu?" She was also incompetent in choosing a name, thinking about the records left in the history books of the Gan family, so she simply used this.
"Thank you, sir, for your name. After Chef Gan finished speaking, she didn't forget to pull her daughter.
"Thank you, teacher, for the name. Gan Yu saluted again respectfully.
After this incident, Fang Xia rearranged accommodation for Ganyu, as her apprentice, she had to be treated better.
At this moment, Wang Si, who had been waiting for a long time, finally returned.
"What's the matter, but what news has you found?" Fang Xia asked.
"Lord Hui, Xuchang does have these two people. They were originally students of Yingchuan Academy, but during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yingchuan Academy was closed, and Guo Jia was invited by his friend Xun Yu to come to Xuchang. Xun Yu is a child of the Xun family, and he rarely goes out except to visit friends on weekdays. ”
"And Guo Jianai is a son of a poor family, who originally had an old mother, but now she has passed away. At the invitation of Xun Yu, after coming to Xuchang, except for intersecting with several scholars, he was not famous. Speaking of which, Wang Si is a little strange, it is normal for Xun Yu to be famous, after all, he is a child of a family, but Lord Diao Chan has never left Luoyang before, how can he know that Guo Fengxiao is a semi-"hermit"?
Fang Xia nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?" The news that Wang Si found out was all that she already knew with her memories of history and games, and it was useless to listen to it again. However, Wang Si was able to find out about these, but he had the talent to do intelligence work, and he could focus on this aspect in the future.
Hearing Fang Xia's question, Wang Si left behind the slight doubts in his heart and continued to report.
"But there is one point, Guo Fengxiao is very fond of alcohol, but his family is poor, although he does not worry about food and clothing, but he can't let him drink every day. Whenever he had some money to spare, he would inevitably go to the wine shop in the east of the city to get some wine to drink. If you want to visit Xun Yu, you only need to go to Xun's house to hand over the post, but Guo Jia's residence, his subordinates are incompetent and did not inquire. Wang Si said.
"It's already good. Hearing this, Fang Xia nodded approvingly and said, "Thank you for your hard work." It's not early, there is still some food in the kitchen, it shouldn't be cold yet, you haven't eaten yet, right? ”
Wang Si was really a little hungry, although he had some scattered five baht coins on him, which Fang Xia used to inquire about him, and he didn't have any requirements for him to spend. But Fang Xia had said before that there was no entry and exit, and that he needed to open up sources and reduce expenditure, etc., as Fang Xia's subordinate, although he would not have the ability to spend money for a while, he could go out to save money to the extreme.
Except for the necessary expenses, I didn't use even a penny.
Hearing Fang Xia's words, he was immediately full of strength, and knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched and said, "Thank you, Lord Diao Chan." ”
"Get up and go eat. Fang Xia said, "You've been busy for most of the day, wait and rest, and I'll find someone else to do the rest." ”
Wang Si opened his mouth, and wanted to say that he didn't eat, and he could kill a tiger with his bare hands now, and he would be able to help Lord Diao Chan continue to do things, but as soon as his eyes fell on Fang Xia's face, he suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, and had to walk silently towards the kitchen.
Fang Xia called Wang Da, who had been waiting at home, and gave a new order.
"This ......" After hearing Fang Xia's words, Wang Da was dumbfounded, looked at her and said, "Lord Diao Chan, do we really want to buy all the wine in the Chengdong Wine Shop?"
"Why? My father-in-law gave me a lot of things, and I calculated that even if I bought all the wine, it would be enough. Fang Xia said with a smile.
Fang Xia didn't plan to visit Xun Yu directly, the big family was really not good to come to the door rashly. And she didn't even have a thing that the other party could see at this time, and she only had some five baht coins and a little cloth on her body.
In that case, there is no choice but to find another way.
Guo Fengxiao often has to go to the wine shop in the east of the city to buy wine, because Xuchang is not a very big city, so there is only one wine shop in the city. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been a phenomenon of troubled times, and food is becoming more and more precious day by day, and it is really a waste to use it to make wine. The business of the liquor store is not too good, and Guo Fengxiao is already a big customer.
Of course, Fang Xia could be his subordinate and stay next to the liquor store in shifts all day long, waiting for Guo Fengxiao to appear without doing anything, and then follow him to his residence. But this is simply abusing his subordinates, who knows when he can wait like this, Fang Xia does not intend to toss Wang Da to Wang Liu.
If the war burns out here, it is estimated that this liquor store will have to close its doors. Therefore, the wine store actually does not have many wine reserves, and it is more than enough for Fang Xia to buy them all. In this state, it is estimated that the owner of the wine shop will not dare to continue to take grain to make wine, once Fang Xia buys it out, Guo Fengxiao wants to drink, then there are only two ways.
If you don't find your friend Xun Yu, the Xun family is a big family, and the grain in the cellar must be piled up, and you can't eat it for a few years, so there will definitely be some to make wine, and most of it is much better than the wine sold outside, otherwise, you can only find Fang Xia, who bought all the wine, and then ask her to turn it second-hand.
According to Guo Fengxiao's temperament, he will most likely choose the second option. Since you can't find his place to live, let him send it to the door himself.
So in addition to Wang Si resting in the house, Wang Da took the remaining three brothers, and according to Fang Xia's instructions, he really carried back all the wine stored in the wine store in the east of the city. attracted countless eyes along the way, as long as Guo Fengxiao wanted to know, he could find someone to inquire.
Fang Xia planned to do so, but she didn't expect that things would develop more quickly than she thought, and the next day before she went to He Yi's place for the banquet, Guo Crow had already come to the door.
