Chapter 19 We Don't Go to the Lord's Ship
Yuan Dongchu had a straight face and corrected Gu Tiancheng's statement: "I suspected at the beginning that the place where Gu Xiaoge told Qin Gongzi was a casual remark, but it turned out that I really guessed correctly, Gu Xiaoge's family is in Shuitang Town." ”
Shuitang Town is really a place to produce talents, the three of them sold wild vegetables and walked to several towns, only this time there was a situation in Shuitang Town.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the small-eyed and thin-skinned dock forces in Shuitang Town, there are also strange people like Gu Tiancheng.
Gu Tiancheng looked more serious than Yuan Dongchu: "I'm Gu Tiancheng, how can I talk nonsense?" My home is in Muliang Town, and today is an introduction from an uncle, saying that there are a few cargo ships parked here in Shuitang Town, and they need to move people, so I brought my brother over to do things. ”
Work?
Yuan Dongchu looked behind Gu Tiancheng, there were about two dozen people. There are people in their twenties and thirties, and there are also people who are about the same as Gu Tiancheng, eighteen or nineteen, or twenty.
Co-authored these people are all porters? It's Gu Tiancheng's...... Men?
When these people saw Yuan Dongchu coming over, they all grinned at her, with teasing expressions, some very kind, and some gloating, fearing that the world would not be chaotic...... Only he did not question what Gu Tiancheng said.
There were also a few locals in Shuitang Town who were the first batch of onlookers, and they didn't react to Gu Tiancheng's words at all.
That is to say, Gu Tiancheng is indeed a person from Muliang Town, he is not idle, he is doing porter work at the dock, according to the words of this era, he is a coolie seller, at most he is the head of the coolie seller.
However, although he sells coolies, this kid is young, and he actually has such skills, and among these 20 or so people, most of them are older than him, and they can listen to him?
What is this, is it charismatic?
Yuan Dongchu's eyes were puzzled.
"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's all gone." Gu Tiancheng waved his hand aggressively, presiding over the overall situation on the ground of others without seeing anything else.
After the words were spoken, he also admonished: "Brother Zhao, let me tell you, I am an old acquaintance with these three girls." The girl just sells some vegetables at the dock, which is no different from the ordinary half-grown children who sell food. Look at my face, this matter is over, don't look for trouble, okay? ”
The thin man glanced at Gu Tiancheng angrily, looking very angry: You said so, can we still say no? Can't you fight with this murderer?
After holding it for a long time, he snorted coldly, beckoned the man named Liu Si, and left together.
Although he tried his best to support his spirit, he didn't lose the face of the wharf in Shuitang Town, but he was extremely depressed in his heart.
They came to trouble Yuan Dongchu, originally to see that the three girls had just arrived in Shuitang Town, they should be very timid, and if they were forced casually, they could ask for a way to sell wild vegetables, and they could ask for credit in front of their own boss.
They didn't make much of a fuss, who would have thought that Gu Tiancheng would jump out.
This Gu Tiancheng is a well-known outlaw, not to mention that he still brought people with him today, even if he is the boss of his own family, he doesn't want to provoke this kind of person.
Alas, don't talk about the credit, this trip back, being scolded by the boss is light, and maybe you will eat your heart's content......
A few people around who were watching the excitement had been driven away by Gu Tiancheng once, and they were still grinding, but when they saw that the main owner of the matter had left, they were bored, and they all dragged their steps and turned around.
Gu Tiancheng turned to wave at his hippie-faced brothers again: "Hurry up, go to work!" Wouldn't it be nice to go home early and rest early? Rub what! ”
He was answered with a "boo".
In the midst of the boos, a younger teenager smiled and said, "Brother Tiancheng, are you afraid that you will go back late, your mother thinks that you are fooling around with fox friends and dogs again, and her old man will beat you, right?" ”
"You kid, Lao Tzu only has you fox friends and dog friends. It's not certain that Lao Tzu will be beaten, but if you are unhappy, it will be certain to beat you! Gu Tiancheng was angry and swung his fist at the young man.
The young man probably did this a lot, he was prepared, and before he finished speaking, he raised his foot and ran away.
Then, it was the others who left slowly, and the people turned around and did not shy away from talking:
"If he goes back late today, and Tiancheng can't tell the reason, his mother is afraid that he will really chase and beat him with a broom and pimples......"
"That's it! What comes out of the child's mouth has always been true, but Xiao Man dares to say it, borrow our guts, and you have to hold it back......"
"Do you want us to slow down and add a lottery to bet that Tiancheng will not be beaten today." Let's bet less, ten cents per person involved, I bet Tiancheng will be beaten today......"
Gu Tiancheng gritted his teeth at the backs of a group of people, turned around, and explained to Yuan Dongchu with an old face: "Miss Yuan, don't listen to their nonsense, I am the pillar of the family, and my mother values me very much." ”
"Sneer......" Xiuchun saw that Gu Tiancheng and his group got along casually, without any worries, and none of them were restrained, so they laughed out loud. Then he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
probably remembered the embarrassment when Gu Tiancheng was pulled by his mother's ears and left in Yanpu Town that day. In that situation, no matter how you look at it, Gu Tiancheng doesn't look like he is valued very much by his mother.
Yuan Dongchu also endured it hard, and repeatedly warned himself to pay attention to his image, and he must not give this guy a chance to laugh, pursed his lips fiercely, and swallowed back the smile that overflowed.
This kind of ability to talk nonsense, her face is not red and her heart is not beating, she is ashamed of herself.
When everything stopped, Shi Shiran, the steward of the passenger ship, came over, followed by a mother-in-law, carrying the basket of wild vegetables in her hand.
This time pinch, if he didn't mean to be late, anyway, Yuan Dongchu didn't believe it.
Fortunately, the steward was very frank, first arched his hand at Gu Tiancheng, and then said to Yuan Dongchu: "It took some time for the kitchen to try to make cold purslane. In addition, I feel that when the three girls are really facing a difficult situation, they can make the girls appreciate us more and discuss the recipe for the dishes. I didn't expect that although the three of them are women, they have traveled extensively, and someone actually helped you out of the siege. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Tiancheng meaningfully, "Is this little brother the same as the three girls?" ”
He saw just now that a young man who had just faded from his childishness could make concessions to the local forces of a dock, although it was a small dock, it was not easy.
"Yes." Gu Tiancheng nodded.
"It's not." This is the answer of Yuan Dongchu, Xiuchun and Xiaocui.
The steward was speechless for a while, and when he didn't know the situation, he had to get down to business.
first signaled to the mother-in-law who followed behind, took the basket to Yuan Dongchu, and then said: "The kitchen tried the cold purslane, it tastes good." I looked at another recipe for shepherd's cabbage, and I also felt that it was feasible. Let's believe you, you will go on the boat with your grandmother, and we will arrange a maid to record the wild vegetables you know. ”
Yuan Dongchu glanced at Gu Tiancheng, this guy didn't mean to avoid it at all, and he didn't show surprise when he heard the steward talk about the practice of wild vegetables. That expression looked even calmer than Xiuchun and Xiaocui, as if he had been doing this business for many years and was talking about his own business.
I was just sheltered by others, and now it's not good to pick up people. And she still doesn't know what Gu Tiancheng's path is, so she can't be easily offended.
She didn't say anything, only reached out and took the basket handed over by her mother-in-law, and when she got the basket, she felt that her hand was sinking.
Yuan Dongchu is also a person who has a feel for silver now, and this weight is twenty taels to say the least. If you're lucky, you might be able to do it for thirty taels.
She quietly handed the basket to Xiuchun, avoiding Gu Tiancheng's gaze and giving Xiuchun a look.
Seeing that Xiuchun nodded slightly, and while receiving the basket, his hand was also on the coarse cloth in the basket, Yuan Dongchu was relieved, and turned around and apologized to the steward: "This master, we have never been on the patron's boat. Why don't you get the sister who can record the recipes, and let's find a place to write it at the docks?" ”
It seems that she has to find a chance to recognize a few words, at this time, no culture is really delaying.
