Chapter 7: Into the Towering Tower
"I knew that I wouldn't have gone to Fengle Building to drink any wine that day!"
Song Guichen regretted that he was not at the beginning, and the handrail kept pounding on the stones by the lake.
"Girl, don't think about it." A man in his thirties and forties walked over and said, "People live in heaven and earth, what is there that cannot be solved?" The girl is so young, why should she seek death? β
"Huh? Brother Hanβ"
Seeing the person who came, Song Guichen blurted out, and then secretly regretted it, and couldn't help his forehead.
She recognized the person, the man was Han Song, the procurement of Fengle Building, and she didn't thank him for eating and drinking in Fengle Building.
Seeing Song Guichen calling himself "Brother Han" so familiarly, Han Song was very surprised: "We have met before? β
"Ah...... Ah, yes, yes. Song Guichen snorted, "Brother Han is righteous and bold, he helped me pay for the medicine a few years ago, and his great kindness is unforgettable, and when I see my benefactor today, I can't help but have some gaffes, some gaffes." β
"I see."
Han Song didn't remember that he had helped such a yellow-faced and thin-skinned little girl at all, but he just paid for the medicine, it was just a casual effort, maybe he forgot it, so he didn't mind anymore, so he said:
"I saw that you had been staring at the lake, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to think about it, so I came over to see what difficulties you encountered?"
"This-" Song Guichen's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Han Song's sleeve, "Brother Han is procured by Fengle Building, right?" Can you let me go to Fengle Lou to be a cook, well, it's okay to be a handyman, it's not a boast, the food I cook is delicious, Brother Han-"
The ghost sent the gods, and Han Song really agreed to Song Guichen's unreasonable request.
Taking Song Guichen to Fengle Building, Han Song said, "By the way, I don't know what your name is." β
Song Guichen was about to blurt out, but then he thought that he knew his original self, and the name Song Guichen could not be used, so he said: "I have no father or mother, and I don't know what my surname is, so Brother Han will call me Xiaochen." β
Han Song couldn't help but feel compassion again: "Okay, Xiaochen, the monthly money of the chef in Fengle Building is eight taels of silver, and the assistant of the chef is four taels, you are new now, you can only start as an assistant first." β
"Mm-hmm, yes, yes." Song Guichen nodded hurriedly.
"If you don't have a place to go, you can live in the dormitory provided by Feng Lok Lou for handymen, but you will have to deduct 500 yuan a month for lodging."
"No problem at all!"
For the current Song Guichen, as long as there is a place to go, she is thankfully grateful, where will she find fault with anything else.
Moreover, as the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou, Fengle Lou offers a salary that is much more generous than other places.
With such conditions, others can't get in if they want to, but she got it without much effort, so she is even more grateful to Han Song for his help.
After looking Song Guichen up and down, Han Song threw a silver bag to Song Guichen and said:
"The color of the clothes on your body is too dull, use this silver to buy a few clothes of your age, don't be in a hurry to work these days, eat more things to make up for your body, it's not good to be a cook so thin."
Song Guichen was about to cry, Brother Han was simply the best person in the world.
She used to come to Fengle Building often, and naturally knew that Fengle Building was a government-run restaurant, and from the building manager to the miscellaneous servant, the requirements for everyone were very high.
Not to mention the cook, even the bartender in the store has to be a handsome young man with good looks and clever speech.
For a restaurant, although it sells wine, it still relies on delicious dishes to attract diners, so a good chef is particularly important.
Her current identity is just an orphan from other places, and her appearance is not good, and it is already a great kindness to purchase Han Song to let her, a little girl she met for the first time, into the back kitchen.
At that moment, Song Guichen no longer shirked, took the silver bag, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Han, after my monthly money is distributed, I will definitely return the money for buying clothes to Brother Han." β
Han Song waved his hand casually: "Since you call me big brother, this silver can be used with peace of mind." β
Saying that, he summoned a bartender and asked him to take Song Guichen to the residence of the miscellaneous servant.
"I still have some things, this is the bartender Zhou Qiang, if you have anything in the future, you can find him."
Coincidentally, this bartender Song Guichen also knew him, and he came to Fengle Building to drink half a year ago, and he was the one he received.
"Hello Brother Zhou, my name is Xiaochen, thank you for taking care of me."
Although Zhou Qiang is a man, she has red lips and white teeth, but she is only twenty-four or five years old.
Knowing that Han Caiban wanted to take in this homeless little girl, he sighed at Han Song's kindness, and said to Song Guichen as he walked: "Little girl, you have really met a good person, Han Caiban's good name is well-known in Hangzhou." β
"yes."
Song Guichen was also emotional, but she didn't expect that she came to Hangzhou from Kaifeng with great difficulty, but failed to return to her master, but became the kitchen assistant of Fengle Building.
"By the way, Brother Zhou, I'll ask you about someone."
"Who?"
"It's the hermit on the lonely mountain of West Lake-Lin Kui, Brother Zhou has seen it?"
Song Guichen originally wanted to inquire directly about the fake Song Guichen, but after all, the master was famous, so it would not be strange to inquire about him.
If you inquire about a little-known woman, the other party is likely to be on guard.
Sure enough, when she heard that the person Song Guichen wanted to inquire about was Lin Kui, Zhou Qiang smiled and said: "It turns out that you are inquiring about Mr. Lin, this Mr. Lin settled in a lonely mountain ten years ago, and has never set foot in the city, let alone me, the new state official Wang from Kaifeng a few days ago wanted to see him, but he was turned away." β
"Lord Wang? Which Wang? β
Zhou Qiang lowered her voice and said, "You are young, I'm afraid you don't know yet, it's that 'gall' Wang Qinruo." β
Song Guichen involuntarily let out an "oh".
Today's Prime Minister Wang Qinruo, Song Guichen naturally knows.
Over the years, it was this prime minister who engaged in absurd and nonsensical superstitious activities in order to cater to the emperor's will.
In the early years, he vigorously provoked the relationship between Song Zhenzong and Kou Zhun, accusing the alliance of Lanyuan as the alliance under the city, and making Kou Zhun oust the prime minister.
Later, he forged the book of heaven to ask the emperor to seal Mount Tai, and built a palace on Mount Tai, which cost the people and money, and he also made a lot of oil and water from it.
On the way from Kaifeng to Hangzhou, Song Guichen also heard about the resentment and hatred of many people about Wang Qinruo.
The folk locust plague was so serious that there was no harvest of grains, and the ministers of the court headed by Wang Qinruo actually made a statement to the emperor, falsely claiming that the locusts "died by holding the grass", which was an auspicious omen, representing the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty and the reopening of the heaven of Yao Shun.
simply doesn't care about the life and death of the people at all, and even treats the official family like a child.
Such a fly-camp, treacherous and sinister person, the master is the most shameless, and naturally he does not want to associate with him, and it is already very face-saving to turn him away.
"Brother Zhou, why did this prime minister come to Hangzhou?"
"You don't know, under the outspoken advice of Prime Minister Wang Dan, the official family knew that the civil disaster was serious, and they were very dissatisfied with the bullying of Wang Qinruo and others, and demoted them to Hangzhou."
Song Guichen is speechless, where is this depreciating.
Hangzhou is rich, Wang Qinruo made such a big mistake, and the official family actually demoted him to the official of Hangzhou Prefecture, which is enough to see the importance that the official family values him.
"I'm afraid it won't be long before he returns to Kaifeng and worships again."
Hearing Song Guichen say this, Zhou Qiang couldn't help but look at Song Guichen twice.
Obviously, I didn't expect Song Guichen to be unattractive at a young age, but a female streamer actually had such knowledge.
