Chapter 12: Repaying Grievances with Straightforwardness (I)
"Xie Liu is considerate." Dong Rong thanked her again, and then took the two cooks to quickly pick up the floor and re-brush the pot to cook porridge.
The two cooks were secretly annoyed, and came to Dong Rong and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Cao, why don't you tell the steward that the porridge pot was overturned by Liu Gui, and the steward will scold him!" ”
"That's it, this person is too lacking in morality, he comes to our stove every day to stir up, don't let him suffer a little, and I don't know how to bully people in the future."
Dong Rong didn't seem to care, and said with a faint smile, "Forget it, I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain, and I'll just endure it." After saying that, she scooped half a bowl of millet in the jar and washed it carefully.
The two cooks glanced at each other, and they both hated that iron could not become steel. But both of them are handymen who help, no matter how angry they are, Dong Rong doesn't come out, they can't do anything. The two of them rubbed unhappily for a while, and then went out under the pretext that there was work on the deck.
Dong Rong heard that there was no movement behind her, and slowly put down the bowl, her hands clenched into fists, and the force was so great that her knuckles turned white.
It's not that she doesn't want to punish Liu Gui, but she really understands too well the truth that if you don't die if you are beaten by a snake, you will be counterattacked. If she just sued, she was also a slave of the Liu family, although her status was high, but Steward Liu looked at the past and scolded Liu Gui a few words at most. For Liu Gui, it won't hurt or itch, but he will hate her even more.
Therefore, it is better not to say anything, Steward Liu has left a good impression there, and Liu Gui will also think that she is afraid, and she will intensify it, and it will be much more convenient for her to rectify him when the time comes.
Originally, she didn't want to deal with such a villain, but his "Kefu" was like the most vicious sword in the world, piercing her back lightly and re-separating all the most painful scars. She can endure everything, but she can't endure such a curse.
Since coming to this time and space, she has never done evil things for no reason, and even in the past ten years, she has built bridges and paved roads, relieved the poor and lonely, and even walked by the side of the road and saw beggars to give some money, which has done all the good things in the world. But what did she get?
The husband committed suicide and jumped into the sea, and she couldn't go back to her home, and her good and happy life was smashed into splinters.
If a good person is not rewarded, then why should she be a bad good person? From now on, in this world, if there is someone who treats her well, she will definitely repay it tenfold. And the person who deceived her must make him regret it forever.
And Liu Gui is the first step for her to step on the bones of the enemy!
At this time, Liu Guier, who was in the big kitchen, pointing the handyman to wash the kelp, suddenly felt a chill on his back for some reason, he was so shocked that he suddenly looked back at the door of the stove, and saw that there was no figure except for the sea breeze, so he shook his head inexplicably, and continued to shout proudly.
After dinner, Liu Gui was full of wine and food, and he couldn't let go of the previous things in his heart, so he deliberately shook the small stove and looked at it. Dong Rong went to the stern of the boat for a walk, leaving two cooks, although she hated Liu Gui as much as possible, she didn't dare to offend him, so she could only tell the truth.
When Liu Gui heard this, he was really proud, and sneered, "It's just a little widow, even if she has the courage to do it, she doesn't dare to sue me." Hmph, count him smart! ”
The two cooks slandered in their hearts, if you weren't afraid, you would have come to find out what you wanted.
Liu Gui walked away with his front foot, Dong Rong came back with his back foot, and after listening to the two cooks' chatter, she didn't answer, and talked about what breakfast she was going to prepare tomorrow morning.
In one of the most spacious and comfortable cabins on the front ship, Liu Sanye was drinking tea absentmindedly, while listening to Steward Liu talk about the stove, I don't know what I thought, and the smile on my face became stronger and stronger.
Steward Liu was really curious in his heart, and he didn't understand why his third master cared so much about a cook who picked up the boat halfway, not only told him to report everything carefully, but he was so happy every time he heard it. Could it be that he is too stupid to understand his master's thoughts?
Liu Sanye raised his head and glanced at his henchman, and saw that his fat face was about to wrinkle into a bun, and finally couldn't bear it, laughed, and finally said, "You don't have to worry too much, I just found this cook interesting." Sailing at sea is too boring, and it's good to have something to take care of. ”
Steward Liu accompanied the smiling face, stepped forward to add tea to the master, and said flatteringly, "Third master, there is nothing strange about that cook, why did it fall into your eyes?" ”
Liu Sanye shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "You wait and see, Liu Gui will definitely be unlucky these days." When the time comes, you'll know what's so special about this cook. ”
Although Steward Liu was as curious as a cat scratching, the master didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask, so he had to bury this matter in his heart, and secretly stared at the small stove more and more carefully.
Liu Guixu thought that Dong Rong was really afraid of him, and since that day, he has been more diligent in going back and forth between the small stoves, and he has to be picky about everything, which is extremely proud. Dong Rong was not only not angry, but was more humble than he had treated him before, and he would report to him and ask what good dishes he had made, and he would be the first to invite him to taste them.
But there is no one who is not greedy, and soon Liu Gui was fed by Dong Rong with a round belly after good dishes. Three meals a day are solved in the small stove. The two cooks were extremely annoyed, and as long as they saw him appear, they had to find an excuse to hide, but Dong Rong smiled faintly and served thoughtfully.
Three or four days later, in the evening the merchant ship anchored at the edge of a small island, and the people had a rare good night's sleep. In the morning, some boatmen got up the fishing nets behind the boat and dragged up 100 catties of fresh fish and several large pots of bowback shrimp. Because Dong Rong is in charge of Liu Sanye's diet, she gives priority to the selection of ingredients.
She chose two of the most tender oolongs and half a pot of prawns, said hello politely to the boatmen, and went back.
Liu Gui turned around twice in the big stove, instructed the handymen to make breakfast, and then habitually came to the small stove to eat breakfast.
Dong Rong didn't seem to hear him come in, and was looking down and busy with something, looking very serious. Liu Gui was curious, so he quietly walked over to him and asked loudly, "What dish is today?" ”
Dong Rong was taken aback, and in a panic, she wanted to hide the plate in her hand behind her. Liu Gui snatched it quickly, and saw that there were many fish slices neatly stacked on the white porcelain plate, perhaps because they were cut very thinly, and each slice was bright. There is also a small bowl on the edge of the plate, containing half of the milky sauce, and there is a rich milky aroma.
Liu Gui's eyes lit up, he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and scolded, "Are you secretly cooking food behind your master's back?" Hmph, shitty thing, when I meet Steward Liu, I will definitely let her beat you on the board! ”
Dong Rong seemed to have been greatly wronged, and when she heard this, her eyes turned red with anxiety, and she shouted loudly, "Master Liu, you can't talk nonsense. This is my new dish, I don't know how it tastes, where do I dare to serve it to the master, I was about to try it myself. Give it back to me! ”
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe to snatch the plate in Liu Gui's hand. Liu Gui scolded while trying his best to raise the plate, "Cheap thing, you treat me as a fool." It's clear that you're going to steal something good, and I'll catch you! , this fish is my breakfast, if I'm full, I'll spare you! Otherwise, hmph, let's go to Steward Liu and say! ”
Xu is voices were a little high, the two cooks who hid out, and the two servants who passed by all came in to see the excitement, and one of them persuaded Dong Rong to say, "Sister-in-law Cao, it's just a plate of fish and meat, you can make another plate." Master Liu is not a lot of talkers, and he will definitely not complain to the chief steward! ”
Dong Rong reluctantly withdrew her hand, and said with a worried face, "But I haven't tried this dish yet, I don't know if it's bad for my health, if Master Liu doesn't feel comfortable eating it, wouldn't it be my fault?" ”
Liu Gui thought that Dong Rong was making an excuse, so he rolled his eyes disdainfully, and sneered, "Who are you scaring about, this boat eats fish and meat every day, and I haven't seen anyone poisoned!" Lao Tzu didn't believe it, but he drove me out of luck! ”
As he spoke, he pulled a piece of fish and dipped it in the sauce and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The fish meat is freshly sliced from the live fish, and the natural umami flavor is mixed with dried milk and melted into a milk paste, which has an indescribable aroma.
Liu Gui'er ate one slice after another, until a plate entered her stomach, and she licked her lips with some unfinished thoughts, and said, "It tastes good, so let's have a copy there." In the future, if I think about delicious food, I must taste it first. You are a lowly woman, how can you be qualified to taste such a delicacy? ”
Dong Rong opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but Liu Gui walked away with a full burp. Dong Rong was so angry that tears were rolling in her eyes, and she saw that the cook and the servants were sympathetic, and they persuaded a few words.
Dong Rong wiped the corners of her eyes embarrassedly, thanked everyone, and then stepped up to prepare her master's breakfast. No one saw it, the corners of her mouth were slowly curling up in a weird arc, and the coldness in her eyes almost froze the fish in front of her...
The island is a noisy morning, with flocks of seagulls circling over the big boats, chirping loudly, whether to express curiosity or welcome guests.
After breakfast, many of the boatmen began to gather ropes and sails, ready to go again. It was a busy time, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the rear cabin, "Come on, help!" ”
Everyone was startled, and they all threw down their work and gathered outside the small cabin, but as soon as they probed, the smell of stench coming from inside almost made everyone fall down. They all shouted, "Why is it so stinky, what's going on?" ”
Some people couldn't resist their curiosity, pinched their noses and looked into the cabin, but they saw Liu Gui lying on his back on the floor, his eyes turned up, his face and body were full of undigested filth@, and his pants couldn't be seen, yellow and white flowed all over the ground, no wonder it was so smelly!
A handyman patted Liu Gui's face in horror and shouted, "Master Liu, wake up, who hurry up and find a doctor!" ”
Although everyone was dirty, they were not bad in the end, so they forcibly endured the smell and stepped forward to help the little handyman drag Liu Guier out. After pouring a few pots of seawater, Liu Gui's body was clean, but he was still unconscious. R638
