Chapter 32: Overboard
"Xianggong, the concubine made your favorite mung bean soup."
Bai Luoshi, who was wearing a plain white crescent moon dress, walked in with a bowl of mung bean soup and walked in with a smile, standing by the bookcase and looking at Gu Bei.
Gu Bei, who finished writing a volume silently, put away his pen, looked up at Bai Luoshi, and said with a smile: "Lady, these rough jobs will be handed over to a few uncles in the kitchen in the future, why do you have to be a daughter." ”
"What's wrong with Miss Daughter? Miss Qianjin is also a woman, just like you, with a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth. Bai Luo Shijiao said angrily.
"Okay, okay." Gu Bei said yes in a loud voice, took her Rouyi, looked at it carefully, there was a small piece of red on her white and clear fingers, and Gu Bei's fingers stroked it.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Bai Luoshi's face was red, and her eyes dodged and said.
"And now?" Gu Bei looked at the hot place and said angrily.
"It really doesn't hurt." Bai Luoshi shook her head.
Gu Beizuo seemed to pick up Rouyi and prepare to put it in his mouth.
"It hurts, it hurts"
"It's right," he said, taking the hot red Rouyi into his mouth.
"You... You" Bai Luoshi was stunned, her pretty face was instantly flushed, she spoke incoherently, her heart rose to her throat, her beautiful eyes looked left and right, and she was like a thief, for fear that someone would break in and see it.
As if for a moment, and as if it was eternal, Gu Beiyi reluctantly pulled out the Rouyi in his mouth, and stared affectionately at the delicate and flawless little face that was close at hand, his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as those painted, and his pupils were as black as ink like the purest black gem, and the shadow of a man was reflected in the black gem.
Gu Bei stared at the shadow, and the vague shadow gradually became clear, turning into Gu Bei's original appearance.
Bang bang bang ...
It's the sound of your own heartbeat.
Bai Luoshi found that her heart was beating so fast, and the rhythm was so fast.
"Phase... Xianggong, green... Place the mung bean custard on the table. Bai Luoshi trembled, and fled after speaking.
"That's it?" Gu Bei stood in place, sniffed the faint fragrance left by Bai Luoshi, and whispered: "Lady, haven't you released the big move for your husband yet?" ”
After Bai Luoshi fled back to the room, she touched her pretty face flushed, her heart beat faster, and her blood was boiling.
But why are you so nervous?
She cheered herself up over and over again in her heart, she said Bai Luoshi, Bai Luoshi, don't be nervous, you have experienced strong winds, heavy rain, you have jumped over dangerous mountains and passed through thorns, you are not those little wildflowers that fall when the wind blows and lose when the rain falls...
You're Bai Luoshi!
What kind of man hasn't seen it?
Why does that bad guy make a move, look at you, and make you nervous like that?
Don't be nervous!
Don't be nervous!
Gu Meizi drank the bowl of mung bean soup with Bai Luoshi's "love", although the taste was not as good as the chef in the house, he felt that this was the best mung bean soup he had ever drunk, sweet to the heart, and love was full of love.
"Uncle, Proprietor Chen is here."
Qing'er's voice interrupted him.
"Ask him to come in." Gu Bei sorted out the bookcase and said.
"Thank you, Miss Qing'er." Chen Jinwang smiled and thanked Qing'er and walked into the room.
Chen Jinwang gave Gu Bei a salute and said with a smile: "The owner, the store has been negotiated, the tools have been built, and they can be installed at any time, when will the owner go and see." ”
Gu Bei invited him to sit down, thought about it, and said, "It's better to be sooner rather than later, I happen to be free, or now." ”
Under the leadership of Chen Jinwang, Gu Bei inspected the large courtyard and nodded with satisfaction.
This large courtyard is located on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, not far from the city wall, the south gate is not far away, and the Qinhuai River is less than a hundred steps away.
In the courtyard, the fence is a little broken, and an open space the size of two basketball courts appears in front of you, and the new grass sprouts in the open space show that it has been cleaned recently.
There was a large pool in the backyard, a few large houses in disrepair, and green smoke rising from the roof chimneys of seven or eight small houses next to it.
Gu Bei looked at the courtyard that was quite satisfied, as a workshop, he was quite satisfied, Gu Bei asked a few more questions, and Chen Jinwang answered them one by one.
Gu Bei looked at the courtyard wall, thought about it and added: "The courtyard wall should be doubled, the nursing home must be indispensable, the recruitment of personnel must be cautious, the formula must be strictly confidential, once the Tianxianglu fires, the nursing courtyard will be used." After that, he handed him the recipe.
Chen Jinwang, who took over the formula, felt Gu Bei's trust and excitedly reassured him again and again.
Gu Bei looked at the excited Chen Jinwang and smiled, don't doubt the use of people, don't use suspicious people, since you believe him, let him do it.
"Okay, you go get busy, I'll walk around at will." Gu Bei said.
Chen Jinwang saluted, rushed to the open space, and instructed everyone to install the oversized giant barrel, Gu Bei had already told him how to install it before.
Gu Bei walked on the road, thinking in his heart, the workshop store is there, and now it is carried out at the same time, and when the store is renovated, it is estimated that it will take more than ten days, and then the first batch of Tianxiang Dew in the workshop will be on sale.
He only needs to count the silver and spend the silver at home, so that he can spend more time with his wife and cultivate his feelings.
Gu Bei stayed in the workshop until noon, had a meal with Chen Jinwang, and finalized some final plans at the dinner table, so he patted his ass and left.
On the grounds of walking, Chen Jinwang politely refused to send him off in a carriage, and Gu Bei walked alone on the streets of the Qinhuai River.
There are no big shops on the streets, there are many small traders who carry burdens on the road, and there are not many pedestrians, and some broken talents often gather here under the trees near the river to write lyrics and give songs, and recite poems against each other, in order to attract the Oiran on the red boat in the river to invite each other to interpret the story of a talented and beautiful woman. There is a tea stall not far away, and there are often some old men on the side of the tea stall, and occasionally a few old men are looking at it.
Gu Bei sat in the tea stall and watched them play chess casually while drinking tea, and the two old men who played chess were very good at chess.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from a red boat on the river dozens of feet away from the river, as if someone was cursing loudly.
Gu Bei stood up and looked over, only to see that on the bow of the red boat, several men were waving their hands and feet and shouting noisily, and several women seemed to be persuading something, but they were pushed and shoved by several men. There were some fragmentary words, which seemed to be something like "Uncle spent money...", "If you don't follow, you have to follow...".
Some of the talents on the shore, the old men playing chess, and the stall owners all watched with interest, as if they were accustomed to it.
"It must be a jealousy and trouble, we have seen a lot of such things, so let's see the excitement." The stall owner of the tea stall said.
But think about it, there are countless red boats wandering on the Qinhuai River every day, and how many idle gentlemen are estimated to be some jealous.
Gu Bei then sat down again, but at this moment, he heard a "poof" sound from the noisy red boat, and when he looked at the sound, the water splashed on the water next to the side of the red boat, and a figure fluttered in the water.
"It's amazing, save people, Miss Xiangxue has fallen into the water, save people!" A woman screamed loudly with a crying voice.
Gu Bei stood up and looked at the situation there. But seeing the figures on the big boat busy, men and women running and shouting, everyone on the shore pointed and pointed at the water, but no one went into the water to save people. Gu Bei looked at the splash of the person who fell into the water on the water, he could see that it was fluttering, it was the instinctive reaction of a person who didn't know the nature of water, and it was not a person who could swim at all.
There was a panic on the big boat, some people threw ropes down, some people took out long pennies and handed them into the water, trying to rescue the people who fell into the water, but no one went into the water to rescue.
Gu Bei frowned, people who don't understand the nature of water will lose their basic calm when they are panicked and afraid, where do they still know how to grasp ropes and pennies.
As soon as a few sips of water are drunk, people will be frightened and dazed, and it is impossible to rely on these means to rescue. There were so many people on the boat, and no one went into the water to rescue, and the person who fell into the water was afraid that he would soon drown.
"Quick, go and save someone." Gu Bei shouted loudly.
The people on the shore looked at him as if they were stupid, and they hung up high, "Fool, what does this have to do with us..."
"That's it, now go into the water to save people, the water temperature is so low, it's okay to save people, but if you don't save them, then you will be infected with wind and cold and make a commotion..."
"Why didn't this brother go into the water and save people himself..."
"That's it, maybe Miss Xiangxue is..."
Gu Bei looked at them angrily, if he could save him, he would have saved him a long time ago, he didn't know how to be a watery person, don't let people be rescued when the time comes, and put himself in it.
Gu Bei looked at the unmoved crowd, so he had to hold the boat himself to rescue him, he rented a small boat at the dock and let the captain row to the place where he fell into the water.
The person who couldn't fall into the water was not far from the shore, but there was still some distance, and the captain was still a little slow to paddle alone, watching the splash on the water surface getting smaller and smaller, Gu Bei also helped row.
