However, the Dong family firm has been in business for many years, and its shops are all over Daqi, and its impact on the entire Daqi is far beyond many people's imagination. The Dong family's ocean-going fleet has dominated the sea for many years, and how many seafood and novelty items from overseas vassal countries have been sent back to Daqi, and the status is transcendent, and it is not something that can be easily replaced by any maritime goods shop.

And the seafood restaurant that must be in every state capital is closed, and the people of Daqi absolutely don't want to eat authentic seafood, because the cooks of the seafood restaurant have signed a death contract, and the restaurant gives them a holiday with wages, and they are happy to go home to rest for a while.

Of course, the most affected are the ordinary people, as soon as the Dongjia Commercial Bank closes, the coolies on the docks, the guard bureau, the carriage and horse shops, and even the street vendors @ hawkers selling snacks feel that it is difficult to make money.

Dong Ping and Zhang Yang ran around for the past half month, annoyed by many people's falling stones and seeing the wind and rudder, and made up their minds to make the Dong family firm become a hedgehog, put away the soft belly, and erect spikes high, and pierce anyone's mouth if they stabbed it. I also took this opportunity to take a closer look at who was sincere and who was false.

As a result, the first to send their loyalty was actually the Chen family Manchu, which really warmed their hearts.

After everyone discussed it, they began to prepare, Old Man Chen chose the most clever and unburdened children in the clan to get on the boat, and he planned to personally send the old proprietors on Taoyuan Island to Philippine Island, and then live directly to guard them until the proprietor Shun Lì survived the catastrophe, or when the second master Dong went to pick them up again.

A super red horse boat that has been in the Chenjia shipyard for seven or eight years of maintenance, but has never really gone to sea, has finally been activated. Dong Ping took more than 30 Chen family children Yang Fan to Taoyuan Island, and Cao's second sister, mother and son, also went to the Philippines Island with the boat for refuge.

Zhang Yang hardened his heart and waved to his wife standing at the bow of the boat, secretly comforting himself in his heart that only when his wife and children were safe, he could give it a go. If it's difficult, at most he can take his life, and if he's lucky, he can pull a few pads.

Seeing that the big ship was gone, he rushed to the state capital with Fuzi and Yun Rui, two fast horses who took the initiative to stay, and continued to look for the three children, while arranging for all businesses to be suspended.

Three days later, on Taoyuan Island, except for some Chen family members who volunteered to stay on the island to guard, the Wang family, the Cao family, and the Dong family all picked up and saluted. As soon as Dong Ping's big ship docked, the boatmen began to quickly replenish the fresh water and carry the salute.

A group of old girls cried like tears, and Mrs. Cao cried so much that she almost fainted, no matter how everyone persuaded her, she hugged the pillar in front of the main courtyard and did not let go.

Dong Ping looked sad, stepped forward and knelt down, and opened his mouth to comfort, "Auntie, now that you are in danger, you have to go to sea for your safety." But I promise you, the place we're going to be going is going to be more comfortable than living here. You always look at different scenery, and you can come back in a year and a half. ”

When Mrs. Cao heard this, she rushed to Dong Ping, grabbed his sleeve and choked up, "Brother Ping, I'm not afraid of hardship." I'm worried about Sister Rong and Zhuzi, where are they now? If you come back one day and see us hiding out, how uncomfortable it will be. And my three grandchildren, I don't know where they went, I'm going to wait for them to go together, they have something, and I'm not alive..."

Dong Ping thought of his sister's family whose life and death were uncertain, and tears flowed in his heart, but he tried his best to endure it, and said with a straight face, "Auntie, my sister and the prince are both blessed people. Although there are some ups and downs now, it will definitely be difficult to become auspicious. Qi Ge'er's three children are also very smart, and they will definitely be fine. As long as you take good care of your body, your family will be together in a few months. ”

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't cry." Aunt Cao wiped two handfuls of tears, stepped forward to help Mrs. Cao, and comforted her as she walked, "We are all old, and staying on the island won't help much." It's better to find a quiet place to hide, and the children can act with peace of mind. When the wind is calm, let's come back and reunite. ”

As they spoke, everyone came to the trestle, and Old Man Cao and Uncle Wang solemnly saluted Mr. Zhao and thanked him for his grace in guarding the island.

Mr. Zhao laughed, but he was free and easy, "Although the two elder brothers went to the open sea to see the scenery, I stayed and watched the family business on the island, and waited for Mr. Feng to come back by the way." He is the best chess and wine, and he can't let him face an empty table, without an opponent. You don't have to worry about my safety, I still have a four-grade job on my head, and whoever comes to the island will not dare to do anything to me. I wish you all a safe journey and a speedy reunion. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all grateful, and regardless of men, women, and children, they saluted and thanked them.

The big ship stayed for less than half a day before setting off for the distant Philippine Island, at this time Dong Rong had no idea that on the sea behind her, her relatives were also rushing to the same destination.

In fact, it is also a blessing to the old fisherman before, since she got on this official ship, although she is getting farther and farther away from home, she does not have to worry about the pursuit of Maitreya, and she is engaged in the best work every day, which can be regarded as worry-free. Occasionally, I sat on the side of the boat and blew the sea breeze, thinking about how to act when I turned back to Daqi in the future, fantasizing about how to take revenge, and gritted my teeth from time to time.

At this time, Dong Rong was like a volcano that had been suppressed for many years, erupting flames at any time, burning a person she hated. The two miscellaneous cooks in the back kitchen, I don't know if it's instinctive vigilance, or if they know that their skills are too poor, they treat Dong Rong very politely on weekdays, and Dong Rong occasionally teaches them two things to eat, and they get along quite well.

Of course, if anything doesn't go well, it's Liu Gui, the cook who was robbed of his place because of seasickness. After he adapted to life on the ship, he went to the large stove where he cooked for the merchants and shipwrights and servants, but often ran to the small kitchen to provoke him as an old servant of the Liu family.

Today it is said that the food is salty, and tomorrow it is said that the fish is fishy, which is very annoying. Dong Rong adheres to the principle of calming things and calming people, and more things are better than less things, and never ignores him. As a result, Liu Gui actually thought that Dong Rong was frightened by him, glared at his face, and became more and more arrogant.

Sometimes Dong Rong gave the boat owner Liu Sanye a good meal, and he had to grab it to eat, and at the end of the day, he had to demean a few more words with his round stomach before leaving. Dong Rong was annoyed in her heart, but she never had a seizure. As a result, on this day, Liu Gui broke into the stove room again during dinner, rummaging through here and looking there, looking at himself in his own vegetable field.

Dong Rong saw his thick fingers rummaging through the cold white fungus, so he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Master Liu, that dish is about to be served to the third master's table, how do you want the third master to enter it?" ”

Liu Gui obviously didn't expect Dong Rong, who had been silent all the time, to speak, and to speak so politely, he paused for a moment, and then a wave of anger rushed to his head, and shouted and scolded, "You are a cheap cook, who do you put a hat on?" I was afraid that you would poison the third master, so I took a check, and the third master knew that he would only reward me, do you still want to sue? If you have the ability to sue! You see, does the third master believe you, an outsider, or an old man in my family! ”

Dong Rong snorted coldly, reached out and took the plate of white fungus and poured it into the swill bucket, retorting, "I am a cook, you are a cook, and they are all peers." If I am lowly, you will not be noble! Also, Steward Liu will personally check every time he serves the food, so you won't have to worry about it in the future. You better cook the meals in the big kitchen, and the merchants in the province have diarrhea all day long. If the stench hits the third master, you won't get a silver reward, but a board! ”

Liu Gui was poked in the sore spot, and his face trembled with anger, grabbed a plate in his hand and smashed it at Dong Rong, "Cheap thing, shameless face, I really think I am a character." It's just a widow of Kefu, who dares to run to Lao Tzu to preach, if I don't teach you today, you won't know that Ma Wang Ye has three eyes. ”

Although Dong Rong doesn't know martial arts, her husband and four children usually practice martial arts in the morning and evening, and she sometimes makes a few random gestures, so her body is much more flexible than that of ordinary women.

Seeing the plate flying, she tilted her head and ducked. But the plate inevitably smashed into the casserole on the stove, with a "clang". A pot of wolfberry and yam porridge that had been boiling for two hours, and the little bit was detained on the ground, and the heat was steaming, so shocked that the two cooks ran over together, and they didn't collect it, they didn't throw it, they were all extremely distressed.

"What can I do about this, this is what Steward Liu specially ordered. The third master has a bad appetite recently, and this yam porridge is the most spleen-opening and stomach-opening, and it is too late to boil another pot. One of the cooks peeked at Liu Gui, obviously asking Dong Rong, but she was actually complaining about him.

Liu Gui was a little weak when he heard this, and scolded while walking to the door of the stove, "It's really unlucky, it's a commotion!" ”

"What's wrong, where is the sao @ smell?" Steward Liu happened to come over to serve the food, and when he heard Liu Gui's words, he asked casually. Liu Gui was slightly startled, and hurriedly smiled, "Oh, big steward, why did you come here, it's stuffy and hot." If you have something to do, you can tell me about it, why do you still run it yourself? ”

Steward Liu didn't seem to want to see him, and replied lightly, "You, just take care of the affairs of the big stove on weekdays, here..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly saw the rice porridge scattered on the ground, his brows immediately furrowed, and he asked in a loud voice, "Why did you spill this porridge, but that pot of yam porridge?" ”

Liu Guisheng was afraid that Dong Rong would sue, so he said vaguely, "Big steward, you are busy first, and the small one will go back to the big stove to do work." ”

As he spoke, he slid out of the doorway as if he had been smeared with oil under his feet, and soon disappeared.

The two cooks were annoyed and were about to come forward to complain. Dong Rong stretched out her hand to stop them, then bent down to salute Steward Liu, and said in a low voice, "Steward Liu, this porridge was accidentally knocked over by me." It's about to start cooking, and I'm afraid it's too late to boil another pot, so why don't I cook a bowl of millet porridge, which also has the benefit of warming the spleen and stomach. ”

Steward Liu is also a shrewd person, thinking about the appearance of Liu Gui, he also guessed a few points, and when he saw Dong Rong at this time, he didn't complain, and directly admitted his mistakes, so he looked up to her a little more, nodded in agreement, "Okay, you can do it quickly." I reported to the third master that today's dinner was a quarter of an hour late. ”R638
