"Ten taels?!" Zhao Dongyan's eyes widened in fright, and her hands kept shaking, "No, no, this is too expensive, ten taels of silver for a dish, this, this is also too expensive!" ”

Gu Tongye was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and slowly explained, "You have also seen the tables of those guests today, if you can buy all the dishes I know, I guarantee that in addition to your family, there will be no second restaurant in the entire Jiuzhao Kingdom with these dishes in the future, and their value will be far more than ten taels of silver!" Of course, those three dishes are only the simplest part of the dishes I know, and if I can, I can give them to you for free, so let's make friends. ”

The expression on Zhao Dongyan's face couldn't deceive people, she was eager to get these dishes, but she felt that ten taels of silver was too much, and she was jealous of each other and hesitated to gain and lose.

Seeing that Zhao Dongyan was still hesitating, Gu Tongye was a little impatient, put the cup in his hand on the table, and his face sank, "If the shopkeeper still thinks that ten taels of silver is too expensive, I can also go to find a second one, I believe that the Windward Building on the next street should also be interested in these dishes." ”

"Wait!" Zhao Dongyan shouted to Gu Tongye, and immediately gritted his teeth, "Okay, ten taels will be ten taels!" I, Zhao Dongyan, will bet on this time! Gu Tongye's face turned sunny with a shower, and the sun was shining in an instant, "Okay, Shopkeeper Zhao is really a happy person, since this is the case, then let's make a note!" ”

Zhao Dongyan is not an adventurer, so she only bought the five dishes in Gu Tongye's hand, plus the three dishes given for free, a total of eight dishes, and paid Gu Tongye fifty taels of silver, deducting the accommodation money for these three days and the meal money for the purple-robed Taoist for three days, and finally Gu Tongye only had thirty-five taels of silver left.

"Profiteers!" Gu Tongye gritted her teeth and stared at the back of Zhao Dongyan who turned around and left, beating her chest for a while, she also gave her three dishes for free, she was good, she was embarrassed to continue to ask her for food and accommodation for the past three days, it was really, it was too shameless, and it was really invincible!

But fortunately, because Gu Tongye wanted to teach the chef new dishes, Zhao Dongyan agreed that Gu Tongye would live in the restaurant temporarily, of course, the living environment was naturally transferred from the Tianzi room to the guest room in the backyard.

On the other side, Zhongzheng Village

At dusk, the autumn breeze is blowing, the women have finished their day's work, driving livestock or leading old cattle home, men have begun to wash their hands and cook, and naughty children have also said goodbye to their friends in the shouts of their families, and returned home with a smile.

In a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, Xue Muhibiscus brought the boiled sweet potato porridge to the room, looked at Mu Xiu lying on the bed and asked worriedly, "Brother Mu Xiu, how are you, are you still in pain?" ”

Mu Xiu frowned tightly, his face was pale, it was obvious that it was already the late autumn season, but his face was covered with layers of fine sweat, "It's okay!" He gritted his teeth and said.

After Gu Tongye left, Mu Xiu didn't feel anything at all, but seeing that it was getting late and getting late, Gu Tongye still didn't come back, and thinking about what Aunt Xue said, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

In the end, he had to limp to the village to inquire around, but in the end he was told that Gu Tongye had already left the village, and Mu Xiu was angry and worried.

Thinking that it was not the first time that Gu Tongye had run out of the village, although he was angry, he didn't think about looking for her to come back, after all, according to Gu Tongye's previous temperament, he would come back after two days in the town.

But three days have passed, Gu Tongye still has no news, and the villagers who came back from the town also said that they had never seen Gu Tongye in the town.

Last night, he wanted to go out at night to find Gu Tongye's whereabouts, but he didn't expect these legs to be so unlucky, he didn't apply any medicine after he fell, and after a few days, he had symptoms of inflammation.

Clenching the note he had just received in his hand, Mu Xiu's heart became more and more irritable. I hope she's okay, or he'll have to die to apologize!

"Brother Mu Xiu, I cooked you some sweet potato porridge, I'll help you get up and drink a little!" Xue Mujin didn't know Mu Xiu's thoughts, she only felt that Brother Mu Xiu was too pitiful at the moment, and that Gu Tongye was really hateful, Brother Mu Xiu was sick like this, she didn't come back yet, it was too bad and too much!

Mu Xiu let Xue Mujin help him up, and then leaned against the wall behind him.

"Hibiscus, can you help me bring me the paper and brush in that cupboard?" Mu Xiu said with difficulty, and his voice was no longer as strong as before.

Xue Mujin nodded, put down the rough porcelain bowl in his hand, and then found a few pieces of white paper in the cabinet that Mu Xiu pointed to, as well as an inkstone and a brush.

"Hey, Brother Mu Xiu can read?" Xue Mujin asked in surprise, his eyes full of envy and admiration.

Mu Xiu didn't have the strength to explain to Xue Mujian, so he propped up his body and asked Xue Mujian to grind it for him, and his hands were almost trembling to pick up the brush, word by word, and after writing a few words, he almost exhausted all his strength.

"A quick check on the big change in sex after Li Hualou"

Xue Muhibiscus was illiterate, so Mu Xiu didn't hide it from him, and after writing these words, Mu Xiu said to Xue Muhibiscus, "I'm a little thirsty, can Mu Hibiscus pour me a glass of water?" ”

Xue Mujin nodded dumbly, "Oh, okay, you wait a minute!" With that, he ran out of the room as fast as he could.

Mu Xiu saw that Xue Muhibi had already left, so he curled his index finger and blew lightly, making a crisp whistle.

"Plop Plop"

A strange bird covered in darkness flew in and stopped in front of Mu Xiu's window.

Mu Xiu stuffed the rolled note in his hand into the bamboo tube on the strange bird's legs, and patted its feathers, "Go ahead, don't let people find out." ”

The strange bird seemed to understand human speech, and in the blink of an eye, it flew out and disappeared.

"Brother Mu Xiu, the water is cold, okay?" Xue Mujin walked in with a bowl of water and asked with some reproach.

Mu Xiu nodded, "Thank you!" ”

"Brother Mu Xiu can actually read and write, it's amazing, only Yang Xiucai's family in our village can read and write, and my mother can't write a word!" Xue Mujin held the porcelain bowl, watched Mu Xiu drink water one by one, and said with a smile.

Mu Xiu raised his eyes to look at Xue Muhibiscus, his expression was stern, "Hibiscus, you must not sue others about my brother's literacy, you know!" ”
