Dongmen Qing and Zhang Yue'e worshiped heaven and earth that night but there was no condition to cave the house, the next day the fleet was going to open again, Zhang Yue'e was afraid to go back to the female prisoner's cabin, Zhou Dafu entrusted several layers of relationships, found the treasurer Cao Gu'an, Cao Gu'an said that he could arrange Zhang Yue'e to help in the kitchen, but he asked for fifty taels of silver, Zhou Dafu was embarrassed when he heard it, most of their property had already been dedicated to Xu Dong when they entered the house, and the days on the ship were shallow, so they couldn't make up so much money, if they wanted to borrow it, although there were many guests who came to congratulate last night, but there was no one who was willing to lend them money, When he was in a dilemma, Yang Zhizhong actually found two pearls out of nowhere and said: "These two pearls, to say the least, are worth eighty taels, so they should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the old man to Wang Gongzi." ”

Zhou Dafu looked him up and down and said, "Old Zhou, I really admire you!" I remember we shaved you all over your body, so how could you still hide it? Where are you hiding? Teach me both hands! ”

Yang Zhizhong snorted, but refused to say. Dongmen Qing did not shirk, so he took the pearl to bribe Cao Gu'an, Cao Gu'an is Xu Dong's wife's uncle, and the people on the boat are called "Uncle Cao Guo" behind him, although he is middle-aged, his face is white, and he has no half beard, and his eyes lit up when he saw these two pearls, and he smiled: "Good boy!" There is still such a good thing hidden! You're really capable! No wonder Xu Ying has suffered your loss! So he arranged for Zhang Yue'e to go to the small kitchen that was responsible for Xu Dong's diet to wash dishes.

In the past few days, Xu Dong's fleet has been wandering in the waters of this area, neither making any big moves of looting, nor returning to Nanao immediately.

On the third day, Zhang Yue'e rushed to Dongmen Qing and said: "The owner of the village has increased my salary, and let me be in charge." ”

Dongmen Qing couldn't help but wonder when he heard it: "Aren't you washing dishes?" Why did you suddenly become the boss? Also, this kitchen is managed by the owner of the village himself? ”

Zhang Yue'e said happily: "This matter starts with what I want to cook you delicious last night." Last night I washed the dishes until late, and saw that there was still some minced meat on the knife board, some leftovers in the basket, and some chili peppers hanging on the hook that people in the kitchen do not use, so I asked the chef to put these things together and make a pot of good things, which I want to bring back for you to eat......"

"Wait!" Dongmen Qing was even more strange when he heard it: "I didn't eat your good stuff last night!" ”

"Because I was intercepted by the owner of the village." Zhang Yue'e said: "I got the things right, I was about to take them back, but I was bumped into by the owner of the village, it turned out that he had a bad appetite recently, missed dinner, and was so hungry that he couldn't sleep at night, so he ran to the kitchen to find something to eat, and saw that I just got something and took it away......"

Dongmen Qing sighed and said: "As a result, I became addicted to it? ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yue'e said: "He took the first bite and shouted: 'What is this!'" I was about to throw it away, but after a little recollection, I took a second bite, and then I ate the whole plate, and I ate two bowls of cold rice on this dish. Although this dish is made for you, but he wants to eat it, I can't help it, and I haven't told you since I came back, I don't want to annoy you. I don't want the owner of the village to say anything last night, but today he suddenly called me and asked me to take charge of his food. ”

Dongmen Qing said with a smile: "This is called good cause and good reward!" ”

Zhang Yue'e said: "There is a good reward, but where is the cause of goodness?" ”

Dongmen Qing smiled: "You are thinking about your husband, isn't this a good cause?" Zhang Yue'e lowered her head and was shy. Dongmen Qing said again: "If you cook tomorrow, it's best to find an excuse to serve it yourself." ”

Zhang Yue'e asked why, Dongmen Qing said: "This is a good opportunity to get close to him!" He's the biggest in this fleet! It was very useful to have a chance to show your face and speak in front of him at any time. After a pause, he smiled and said, "But you'd better dress modestly, don't let him look at it." If he's going to cuckold me, there's nothing I can do about it. ”

Zhang Yue'e smacked him and scolded with a smile: "You! Not serious! ”

When walking on the sea, there are generally no maids and female workers, and wealthy businessmen who take boats sometimes bring their families, but as people with jobs, they generally do not bring women, and it is an exception to take Zhang Yue'e like Zhang Changyi. Xu Dong can tolerate Zhang Yue'e to work in the female prisoner cabin, firstly, because this is an offshore voyage, there is no risk for him, and secondly, he is also preparing to go back, so he is not afraid to bring one more woman, just one more female prisoner. As for Zhang Yue'e being arranged to work in the kitchen later, it was all a dark box operation by the people below. At this time, Xu Dong fell in love with Zhang Yue'e's spicy dishes, and he asked her to be in charge, who dared to say anything?

In this era, chili peppers have not been introduced to China for a long time, and there are not many Chinese chefs who are good at using chili peppers. Zhang Yue'e worked as a maid in a merchant in the sea, and often had the opportunity to come into contact with this new seasoning, but she did not know how to teach herself, and created many dishes with chili peppers as a condiment. Spicy can be appetizing, so these dishes are in Xu Dong's appetite, he was happy to eat, so he rewarded Zhang Yue'e with something, this is just it, because Zhang Yue'e had the opportunity to talk in front of Xu Dong, so she invisibly got a kind of power, and the pirates also changed their posture when they saw her again.

Zhou Dafu couldn't stand the hard work of rocking the oar, so he came to Zhang Yue'e and asked her to find a way to transfer himself into the kitchen. Zhang Yue'e also took pity on her husband's hard work, so she agreed, and Zhou Dafu asked, "What are you going to tell the owner of the village?" ”

Zhang Yue'e said: "I make a good dish, if he eats happily, I will ask him." ”

"Hey! No way! Zhou Dafu said: "You have to make a delicious dish, but don't beg him directly, but wait for him to eat well, just say that this dish is still two points away, if he asks you why, you say: 'The people in the kitchen are not familiar with the hands, and the cooperation is not good, if there is my husband and Zhou Dafu, it will probably be a lot easier, and the meals of the old owner Zhang in Guangchang Ping before were all managed by the three of us' - so that most of them will be done." ”

Zhang Yue'e asked Dongmen Qing, and Dongmen Qing said: "Swinging the oar all day long, I can't contact many people, it's better to walk in the kitchen, I can see and hear many useful things, and see many useful people." He nodded and said, "You can try." ”

On the second day, Zhang Yue'e acted according to the plan when she served the food, Xu Dong really promised her and asked her to take care of the entire small kitchen, the original chef came to complain that the kitchen didn't need so many people, Xu Dong said angrily: "Then you get out and row for her husband!" ”

As a result, the small kitchen team changed greatly, and Dongmen Qing and Zhou Dafu entered smoothly. After they entered the kitchen, there was no need for Zhang Yue'e to serve the food, and Dongmen Qing and Zhou Dafu took turns, Dongmen Qing behaved decently, Zhou Dafu was good at flattery, and there were wonderful people waiting for him when he ate, plus the dishes were indeed done well, and this appetite was even more open. Cao Gu'an has always been in charge of the kitchen, and when he saw that Dongmen Qing was gradually trusting, he found a gap and found him and said, "Fake dumb, you can do it!" At the beginning, I only said that I would let my wife go in to wash the dishes, but now not only has she been promoted to the spoon, but she has also brought two in, which is very set! ”

Dongmen Qing hurriedly said: "Although she was promoted by the owner of the village, she was introduced by Cao Siku after all, and we will never forget this kindness." ”

Cao Gu'an saw that he was well-behaved, and smiled: "This is serious, in the final analysis, your daughter-in-law has the ability, and the two of you also serve well!" After a pause, he said: "Seeing that you are a good person, I will give you a message: five days at most, three days at least, there should be a big meal, you had better prepare and prepare, don't be in a hurry at that time." ”

When Dongmen Qing heard him say this, he knew that he was trying to win him over, so he hurriedly thanked him, and said that he would definitely live up to Cao Siku's good intentions - this is a hint that he accepts the wooing.

Cao Gu'an smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do it well!" You kid has enough brains to live, and he has a great future in the future! ”

After he left, Dongmen Qingcai pondered his words and said in his heart: "Eat? Well, then it's probably a big event going to happen, or something big coming, but what could it be? Well, we have already said that we want to go back to South Australia on the day we got on the ship, but the fleet has been circling in this sea area for the past few days, will it have anything to do with this matter? ”
