Chapter 23: Business (1)
Just like the loyal fans who just knew about the idol's hidden marriage, Dai Qian and the others ate this meal in a miserable fog, and they didn't have the heart to go shopping again after coming out of Yipinxiang, so Dai Qian's carriage sent Zheng Su and Song Ailin home first, and then returned to the house on Seymour Road.
There were three people sitting in the front seat of Daisy's carriage, instead of just the groom and Fauber, as before. Sitting on the left side of the groom was a young man, and if Gao Yi was here, he should be able to recognize him as the foodie guy from Hiro and Feng. It can be seen that he is an apprentice to the groom, because the groom will always give him a few words from time to time when he is driving, but he always looks absent-minded.
"Maotou, go and bring two buckets of water over and take the car to rub it. Nong is not going to be able to take things seriously today, looking like he is off his head. ”
When he was rushing to the car, because Fauber was by his side, some things were not easy to say, and when the car entered the stable, the groom couldn't help but count the men down.
"Uncle, I still have some matter, I have to go out to rest first, and the car will be wiped when I come back."
Before the groom could react, he hurried out the door and made the groom angry.
Mao Tou ran to the small office building at the gate, and saw that although the faces of the two people guarding the door were familiar, they had never said hello before, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart. He hesitated for a moment, but finally turned his heart on the side and stepped forward.
"Brother," he said to the kinder of the two, "I want to ask, is Brother Guang in the inner compartment?" ”
Seeing the suspicious eyes of the other party, he hurriedly added: "I am the nephew of Lao Du in the stable, Ah Mao, who has just come to the stable to listen to the errand in the past few days." ”
"Oh, it's Lao Du's nephew, Nong will wait for a while, I'll help Nong go in and see if Ah Guang is there?"
Maotou nodded hurriedly and thanked him.
After a while, Ah Guang walked out with the gatekeeper, and when he saw Maotou, he said, "Ah Mao, how can you, what's the matter?" ”
Maotou hurried up to lead him aside, and explained the cause and effect in a low voice.
"Is what Nong said true?" Ah Guang frowned, "This matter is not a joke, it was ordered by the eldest master himself, and I can't afford to take care of it." ”
"It's true, this kind of thing, do I dare to joke?"
"Okay, then Nong come with me, and let's go to find Third Brother Gui together."
Gui San was the second master's personal follower, and soon the news brought by Maotou was passed on one by one.
Ten minutes later, Mao Tou found himself in the big study of Li Yongfa, the big boss of Guangrong Lin.
Although Li Yongfa's name is very earthy, his appearance is really not bad, on his resolute face, under the thick sword eyebrows is a pair of bright eyes, and he has the edge of career success. When Mao Tou entered, he did not sit behind the large oak desk, but paced in front of the blinds, wearing a white spun silk gown, white silk stockings and a pair of Chinese round shoes, and looked casually dressed in the house.
"So, you just took a look and didn't follow? I don't know where he landed. ”
After listening to Maotou's narration, Li Yongfa frowned, and suddenly made a layer of frost fall in the room, and Maotou's body still couldn't help but swing on a hot day.
"But his car is too conspicuous, white, the front of the car is protruding, and it is loaded with bright brass parts, and wherever this kind of car drives, people will remember it, and they will know the whereabouts when they inquire about it." He argued with a trill.
"Oh? And such a conspicuous car? ”
"It's true, such a car, I haven't seen it on the beach, as long as I send someone to inquire, I will definitely know who it is." The hairy head almost swore a gambling curse.
******
The car that Mao Tou had never seen in Shanghai was now parked next to the newly built two-story building of the Gu family's house. The main building of the small building looks completely complete from the outside, but the surroundings are still a mess, full of fallen trees, loose turf, high and low scaffolding everywhere, potholes, mottled and mottled, at first glance it still looks like an unfinished construction site.
However, the iron fence around the house was erected, and it was more than two people high, completely isolating this small space from the surrounding roads, fields, and the barracks playground. A gate was also built in the direction of the barracks road, and there was a wooden hut next to it, and from the glass window of the hut, it was vaguely visible that there were at least two red-headed Ah San on duty.
The floor in the small building has been completely laid, but there is no furniture yet, so the whole house seems very empty, and you can even hear the echo of footsteps when you walk inside.
According to Gao Yi's instructions, all floors, stairs, door frames, and all the wooden parts of the house were all manufactured in strict accordance with the design dimensions at the same time as the house was built, and the paint was painted to dry the smell. Wait until the frame and load-bearing walls of the house are completed and directly transported into the assembly, and finally the non-load-bearing walls are built and sealed.
Gao Yi and Miss McBride are in the bathroom of the bedroom on the second floor, the bathroom door is open, and you can see a camping cloth on the floor of the bedroom outside, on which are randomly stacked large and small lacquerware food boxes bought from Yipinxiang, the food boxes contain all kinds of dishes that have not been eaten, and you can see abalone and chicken shredded soup, yuan clam soup, fried plate fish, mushroom duck, French pork chops, Hehua Finch, mustard chicken rice, pickled mandarin fish, iron chop chicken, banana sandwich cake, Philip steak, red stewed pheasant, shrimp flour dumplings, sago pudding, There are still two bottles of champagne in the ice bucket, and although it has been a while since they were opened, delicate bubbles are still rising from the golden yellow liquid and up the walls of the bottles.
Miss McBride turned around, and Gao Yi savored the taste of sago pudding, champagne and other dishes in her mouth, sweet and sour, with a hint of bitterness and spicy taste of mustard.
In a week it will be dog days, and the heat outside is unbearable, but inside the house is a cool breeze. Just five days ago, a deep well water was drilled 70 meters underground, and it took three days to complete the connection and commissioning with the water cooling system of the small building. The system is not complicated, it is nothing more than an electric pump, which continuously pumps water from the ground and presses it into the cooling network that spreads all over the walls and roofs of the small building, and finally flows out of the pipe network and back into the ground.
The coolness of the room didn't seem to stop Miss McBride's sweat, a bead of sweat appeared from her shoulder, and then rolled down her shoulder blades as her body shook, but just as it was about to fall, it was taken in Gao Yi's mouth.
"Whew!" Miss McBride shouted. She snapped open a shutter with her fingers, looked out, and asked, "What's that?" ”
Gao Yi was a little dissatisfied with her sudden desertion, and bit her neck, "What? ”
"That'...... There, above the pool, what's being built? Miss McBride shuddered, but kept on deserting.
"Indoor pool above? It was a shooting range, and it was used for gun practice. Gao Yi looked out through the cracks in the blinds she had broken, today was Sunday, there was a holiday on the construction site, and there was no one, but not too far outside the fence, the French soldiers were going out for exercises, and they could even see the expressions on their faces from here.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly looked up in this direction, startling Miss McBride, and she quickly let go of her fingers holding the blinds, but Gao Yi reached over and held the gap again.
"Shall we leave the blinds open?" He asked.
"What...... What the? ”
"I said, how about we leave the blinds open?"
"Oh, no...... No, don't ......"
Miss McBride suddenly tensed and trembled, and after a while she collapsed to the ledge like mud.
