Chapter 222: The Little Cook Who Was Blackmailed
"I don't think he's scary-" Hua Manxi frowned, his voice was incredulous, and said, "I just think it's very strange, I feel that he is very familiar, very familiar, like my Xu Gongzi." β
Wang Shishi glanced at her directly, widened her eyes and said: "Hua Manxi, I think you have lovesickness, can you not look at a man like Xu Gongzi?" Are you mistaken, that person and Xu Gongzi are simply an underground, a heaven, okay? What is Xu Gongzi like, what is he like? Wearing a ghost mask in the middle of the night, it's scary! And also! His voice is unpredictable, not Xu Gongzi's voice at all! β
"I know, but I just feel familiar, familiar, familiarβ" Hua Manxi groaned for a while, pondered the words, and said slowly, "I am familiar with the Tao I just want to cook for him willingly, and I want to cook a lot of delicious food for him." β
Oh my God, what a fairy chef this is! Wang Shishi was completely dormant by her, rolled her eyes at her, and said directly: "I think you want Xu Gongzi to go crazy, you see who doesn't want to cook for him, you don't want to cook for anyone, you want to cook!" You just want to cook! β
After she said that, she no longer bothered with Hua Manxi, walked directly behind the screen, took a bath, changed her clothes, and prepared to sleep.
However, Hua Manxi stayed where she was and pondered, why did she feel so wrong? When the military master entered the door, the first thing he saw was that he fell on her body, and he directly asked her for noodles to eat.
Obviously, there are so many people in the post station, and the food on the table is different, why does he only want her to eat? Because he knows that his cooking is delicious!
If it's really Xu Gongzi, why pretend not to know her? Moreover, he is still in a wheelchair? Could it be because of a broken leg that I am afraid of affecting myself?
The more Hua Manxi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, stood up, opened the door, and went directly to find Danyun.
Danyun rested on the carriage outside, so that he could guard the things inside the carriage, and when Danyun saw Hua Manxi, although his face was not moving, he was a little drumming in his heart.
"Master, why haven't you slept?" Since Xu Gongzi left Danyun and Qingfeng behind, Danyun and Qingfeng have changed their names to call her master, and sometimes they will call her Chef Hua with everyone.
"Why hasn't there been a letter from your son-in-law for so long, is something wrong with him?" Hua Manxi stared straight at the light clouds and asked in a cold voice.
Danyun calmly met Hua Manxi's visiting gaze, and said in a low voice: "Gongzi has been doing business in the surrounding small countries recently, and I heard that the border is not very peaceful, so there are fewer messages. How? Do you have something to bring to Childe? β
"That's right." Hua Manxi didn't believe it, but looking at Danyun's honest face, he couldn't ask again.
Hey, forget it, no matter, let's find a way to find out what those people are today.
When she thought about it, she immediately calmed down, smiled at the light clouds, and said in a low voice: "I don't have anything to say, I just miss him a little, and I don't know if he can eat well outside." β
Danyun hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, Childe has always been a smart person, how can he treat himself badly?" β
Hua Manxi nodded, a little disappointed and said, "Yes, then you should rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow." β
"Then you go to bed early, too." Danyun answered, then stood where he was, watching Hua Manxi go upstairs again, until she went up, the lights in the room went out, and he returned to the carriage as if relieved.
He was so good that he had barely lifted the curtain and had already entered the carriage, but in the carriage, there was another person sitting in the carriage, who was the masked military master.
"Childe, are you really not telling Chef Hua? If she had noticed it herself, how might she be angry? Besides, I don't feel good in my heart. Light Cloud whispered.
"If you don't feel good, I'll feel good? The more she knows, the worse it will be for her, and now the situation is unclear, I don't know what the situation is when I go back to Beijing, don't let her know for the time being, the opportunity is right, I will tell her. Xu Jinfei said coldly.
"Oh." Danyun responded very aggrievedly.
Hua Manxi naturally didn't know all this, she went back to the room to take a bath and lay down, but she was really worried about Xu Gongzi, tossing and turning for a long time, and then fell asleep in a daze, but unfortunately the sky was not yet bright, and she was woken up by a violent knock on the door.
"Who! It's only a little time, and I can't let people sleep! Wang Shishi was unbearable, but she lay on the bed, struggled a few times, and muttered, "Manxi, go open the door." β
Hua Manxi has always slept lightly, and he couldn't sleep anymore when he was woken up, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes, tidied up his hair, and then opened the door, went out, and closed the door again.
The person standing outside the door was Xu Yang who was beside the military master last night.
"Is there something wrong? Master Jun. Hua Manxi stroked her hair and asked in a low voice.
"That's right, this girl, last night our prince ate the dinner made by the girl, I like it very much, I wonder if I can bother the girl to make us breakfast again?" Although Xu Yang's words were very polite, he came to knock on the door early in the morning, and this posture was already intolerable to Hua Manxi's refusal.
She was about to say yes, but suddenly the door opened again.
Wang Shishi came out sleepy-eyed, rubbed her eyes, glared at Xu Yang and said, "Are you sick?" What time is it? Our family Manxi is a slave raised by your family or a cook hired by your family! At this point, there is not even a stall selling breakfast! β
Hua Manxi: "......" What about Miss Wang, who was scared faster than a rabbit last night? Is this the courage that getting up angry gives her?
"It's a salary, I'm tired of the girl." Xu Yang is not a person who likes to do a war of words, he made a decision immediately, and then took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms.
Wang Shishi is a fan of money, as soon as she heard that she was rich, her eyes immediately lit up and swept over, but she saw that there were more than a dozen silver tickets in Xu Yang's hand, each of which was worth 1,000 taels.
"Wow, it's more than 10,000 taels to cook a meal! Manxi, I'll change my clothes and come to you right away! Wang Shishi suddenly became more energetic, and greeted Xu Yang with a smile, "This military master, you go back and wait for a while, we will make breakfast immediately, by the way, do you want to eat porridge or pasta?" Or dumplings and wonton buns? β
Xu Yang: "......"
He paused, and said with a grim expression: "This girl, you misunderstood, this stack of silver tickets is not the reward for a meal, I have asked the people at the post station, you are also in Kyoto, just together, this is our reward for this chef along the way." β
"What!" Wang Shishi exclaimed, "I have to cook for you all the way, it's really our Manxi that is the chef invited by your family!" It's so hard to travel this way, and I have to serve so many of you, don't do it! Don't do it for 20,000 taels! β
"If you don't want to, don't blame the sword in my hand for being unkind." Xu Yang glanced at Wang Shishi lightly, and his voice was a little cold, "You two girls are out of the house, I advise you not to toast or drink, drink punishment wine." β
When Wang Shishi heard what he said, she laughed angrily, and raised her voice and said: "My aunt and grandmother have been in business for several years, and this is the first time I have encountered this kind of forced selling and buying!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no royal law! You're not afraid that I'll poison you in your food! β
In the last sentence, Wang Shishi already had a bit of a gritted tooth.
She categorically didn't expect that she was originally going to Kyoto to visit and have a long experience, and she didn't want to be angry before she went out for two days! This kid is so horizontal, if he is in Shishan County, she wants him to walk on his knees!
It's infuriating!
"You don't dare." Xu Yang glanced at her lightly, his voice was slow and quiet, with a hint of imperceptible deafness, "Our master, you can't afford to offend, if you poison our master, it will be a small number of people who will be copied and killed, and you will be in trouble with the nine clans, believe it or not!" β
Wang Shishi's eyes widened and stared, looking at Xu Yang from head to toe over and over again, as if considering the truth of his words.
"Have you figured it out?" Xu Yang was not afraid of her scrutiny, his head was held up, and his face was shy.
"Forget it, Shishi, promise him, it's all along the way anyway, it's just a matter of cooking a meal, there are a lot of them, and it will be safer for us to go to Beijing." Hua Manxi saw Wang Shishi holding her breath, stepped forward and tugged her hand, and persuaded in a low voice.
"It's still this master who has the bearing, more than 10,000 taels is not a lot, and if you don't make money, you won't earn it in vain." Xu Yang chuckled and comforted.
When Hua Manxi was a chef in his previous life, he had seen all the excessive requirements, and he didn't feel very angry at the moment, but Wang Shishi was about to be angry, and gritted her teeth and said, "Then we have to thank you!" β
Xu Yang didn't have to cook for himself, his skin was as thick as a city wall, he arched his hand towards Wang Shishi, and actually replied: "You don't need to be polite, by the way, our family is injured, and we want to eat lighter." He likes chicken, fish, and the least like beef and mutton. β
Wang Shishi has always felt that she is thick-skinned enough, but she never thought that she was still shallow, but now it seems that there are many people who are more skilled than her!
"Got it! We cook in Manxi, and no one is dissatisfied! We're going to cook, please don't get in the way! She said coldly.
Xu Yang achieved his goal, was informal, politely stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi.
"Don't be angry, I think he has a point, more than 10,000 taels of silver tickets, it's not a few, if you don't make money for nothing, isn't it just a matter of a few meals?" Hua Manxi saw that Wang Shishi was still angry, and hurriedly comforted.
"I'm not angry with him, I'm angry with myself!" Wang Shishi looked at Hua Manxi with a little redness in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "When I think that I have also taken silver to press you in the past, I am very uncomfortable, I feel that I am not human!" β
It turned out that it was for this stubble, Hua Manxi snorted and laughed, and said: "We don't know each other if we don't fight, if not, how can I have one more bosom friend?" And I met Mr. Chen and made money, isn't it great? β
