Chapter 35: The Cook Triggers a Salary Meeting
"Uncle Zhao, where is the food?" Seeing Uncle Zhao come in empty-handed, the light breeze and the light clouds both had a hint of ominous premonition.
"Sold out!" Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth and said.
"And what are we going to eat?" A light breeze and light clouds wailed.
"Drink white porridge with my son!" Xu Dashizi secretly ate chili peppers last night, and his spleen and stomach, which had been stimulated several times, naturally couldn't stand it, and when he returned home, he vomited and diarrhea again, and Uncle Zhao didn't even give him medicine, and strictly warned him that if he ate it secretly, he would continue like this.
Shi Ziye is now looking at the bowl of white porridge in his hand that is so thin that he can show the figure of a person, frowning bitterly.
He watched Uncle Zhao come in with a light breeze and light clouds, and everyone automatically and consciously picked up the bowl, scooped a bowl of white porridge, and drank it without using chopsticks.
"Even if the three of you have a conscience, you know that you will be blessed and share hardships with the son of this world." Xu Jinfei hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a rare hint of vanity and satisfaction in his voice.
"Childe, you think too much, the dumplings of the little village girl outside are all sold out. That's when we had to drink porridge. The breeze drank up the porridge in the bowl three times, put the empty bowl on the table, turned his head and said to Danyun, "No, this porridge is simply not drunk by people, Uncle Zhao, I beg you to fry that cook, how good is the little village girl outside, please ask her to cook for us?" I'll pay for it! I deduct it from my salary! ”
"Yes, think about it, that little village girl can make so many styles of noodles, and the stir-fry will definitely not be bad, and I can smell the dumplings from afar!" Danyun also frowned and said, "Uncle Zhao, please, invite her to be a cook for us, and the salary will be deducted from my salary!" ”
"Yes, yes, anyway, for how many years, the salary is kept by you, and you don't give us food, drink and fun, it's better to invite a cook and have a good meal, I've been here for more than ten days, and I've lost weight! If this continues, my reputation and that of the beautiful man of the Light Breeze Class A guard will be lost! ”
"This-" Uncle Zhao sighed slightly, not admitting that he was shamefully shaken, and after a long silence, he sighed bitterly, "It's not that I don't pay you salaries, but Gongzi holds them, I only have money and food for meals every month, where can I find money to pay you salaries!" ”
Qingfeng and Danyun glanced at each other, and said to Xu Jinfei in unison: "Childe! Either you will pay us a salary today and let us have a good meal, or we will use our salary to ask the little village girl to be a cook. Take your pick. ”
Xu Jinfei: "......" He is now drinking medicine to survive, this weak and excessive spleen and stomach will die if he eats a little good, and he actually wants him to pay for a cook with such good skills to come back, so that he can watch them eat and drink spicy food every day? Can they have a little conscience! Isn't the consciousness that you should have as a subordinate share the joys and sorrows with your master?
"Ahem, this, it's not that I don't want to invite, but now I have to renovate the yard, buy furniture, and ask someone to dig and make a living, we can save a little, you look at the little village girl, she can earn more than one or two silver a day for food, so calculated, if we can't afford forty or fifty taels of monthly money, she won't agree, forty or fifty taels, light breeze, you are only thirty taels of silver a month, and so is the light cloud, do you think you two can invite people? Besides, now is a critical period, everything has to be spent, and this son of the world doesn't have enough money. ”
Xu Shizi moved with emotion and reason, and slowly analyzed.
Qingfeng glared at him, and said angrily: "I followed the prince at the age of twelve, at that time it was thirty taels a month ago, and now it has been ten years, and the monthly money has not risen a cent, not a penny, a full ten years, one hundred and twenty months!" Three thousand six hundred taels! Three thousand six hundred taels, I can buy ten cooks! ”
"That's right! Three thousand six hundred taels! Danyun also glared at Lord Shizi, and said in a cold voice, "Childe, don't pretend to be poor anymore, you have dozens of Yongping money houses under your command!" You dare say you don't have any money! You iron abacus! Iron Rooster! There are eight treasure bags that go in and out! ”
Xu Shizi: "......"
What's going on with the inexplicable little can't get off the stage! No matter how he said it, he is also the first person in Beijing, the ideal husband of thousands of ladies, and these guards really don't take him seriously!
"Well, it's a bit of money, it's true, but aren't we going to do big things together? How can you be so careless about doing big things? How can we work together to achieve great things? This is all for the sake of our future, now is a critical period, we have to keep quiet, recuperate, low-key, please a forty taels of silver a month of cook, it is too high-profile! Isn't this a clear way to tell people that I'm rich? Xu Shizi shamelessly refused.
"Ahem, I think it's right. We should share the weal and sorrow with our son. Uncle Zhao coughed and spoke for Xu Jinfei.
Anyway, after last night, he has already made up his mind, please don't invite the cook, the cook's skills are good or not, it doesn't matter at all, at noon during the day, he went to the little village aunt to buy some food, and then went to the little village aunt's house to steal some food at night, isn't it good?
Save money and get excited! You can also exercise and exercise the light skills and skills that have been abandoned for a long time! Of course, the most important thing is Childe! He must take the little village girl seriously, and absolutely guarantee that there is no doubt that the possibility of her and Gongzi being the first and half will be eliminated!
Hey, there are not many loyal subordinates like him now, and those with medical skills like him are even more extinct! It's time to find a chance to talk to Childe and ask him to give him a raise.
"Hmph, let's go, light clouds, let's go up the mountain to get some game to eat." Qingfeng was also so angry that he stood up and said angrily.
"Okay." The light clouds also stacked the bowls and followed the breeze.
"This, you two, why is this?" Uncle Zhao sighed and babbled, "Can you give your son some face?" Childe also has Childe's truth - hey, don't go so fast, alas, listen to me, hey! Breeze! If you hunt the prey, remember to bring some back to the old man! ”
Xu Jinfei: "......"
I'm afraid he didn't make a fake master, and he didn't have any majesty at all! Sure enough, since he came down from the battlefield, he had no majesty! No, he has to find a chance to revive the wind!
The light breeze and light clouds were really angry at this time, and they didn't laugh, and really went up the mountain.
Their skills are among the best among the secret guards around Xu Jinfei, and they are twin brothers, and they have a tacit understanding, only if they join hands, even Xu Jinfei is invincible.
Last time, it was Xu Jinfei's poisoning crisis, Qingfeng went back to Beijing to pick up Uncle Zhao, and acted separately from Danyun, so that Xu Jinfei fell into the trap and encountered chase.
They quickly hunted a rabbit and two pheasants in the mountains, but when they looked at the prey on the ground, they were in a difficult situation.
They are all first-class guards in the palace, and they are also personal captains by the general's side outside, they are good at killing people, but they can't cook.
"W-how?" Qingfeng glanced at Danyun helplessly, and said with the last glimmer of hope, "You practiced on the edge of the big kitchen that day, and even the Zama step was tied on the roof of the kitchen, even if you don't know how to actually operate, you should have mastered a lot of theoretical knowledge, right?" ”
Danyun glanced at him: "Then you have been with Childe since you were a child, and you follow Childe in everything, so why don't you look the same as Childe and look the same as me?" ”
This, this retort is very powerful, and he is a little speechless.
"And what about this prey? It's all killed, do you want it to die in vain? The breeze sighed.
"I have a way." The light clouds suddenly turned into a bamboo in the chest.
A moment later, the two of them knocked on the courtyard door of Hua Manxi's house with their prey.
It was Hua Manxi who opened the door, she had just washed the dishes and chopsticks after she came back, and there were still some dumpling wrappers left this morning, and she planned to make some other dumplings to eat in the evening.
"Two strong men?" She only saw the light breeze, which seemed to be a little familiar, but suddenly she couldn't remember.
Because the twins are exactly the same, they will be eye-catching, so on weekdays, Danyun wears people, skins, faces, and masks, and does not show their faces.
"Hello, the two of us are the nurses invited by the head of the village, and we walk around the construction site on weekdays." Light Breeze was the first to speak.
"Oh, that's right, is there something wrong with you two?" Hua Manxi seemed to remember that he had seen this man, let down his guard, and asked.
"That's the case, when we first arrived, the owner didn't invite the cook, and they pretended to eat the girl's food on weekdays, but today the housekeeper went late, didn't buy it, and we were so hungry that we couldn't stand it, and we couldn't cook, and we didn't know anyone in this village, so we went up the mountain to hunt some prey and wanted to ask the girl to help cook it, and these two chickens were paid for the girl. I wonder if the girl is willing? Danyun slowly spoke, and his words and demeanors were humble and polite.
This person is not a country man, and he speaks in a different way, so I don't know what the master's family is.
Forget it, don't care about other people's origins, since she is now doing business on other people's territory, it is good to have a good relationship with the master's family.
"The two eldest brothers are polite, polite, what's wrong with this." Hua Manxi opened the courtyard door and said politely, "Please come in, let's sit for a while, I haven't eaten yet, if the two eldest brothers don't dislike it, when I make the dishes, they will eat with us." ”
Light Breeze nodded, brought the prey in, and lowered it to the well.
The two pheasants are not very big, and they are about two catties, and the two men must be able to eat a lot, so the two pheasants have to be done, and this hare is fat and can make a few dishes.
Hua Manxi calculated in his heart, let Komatsu wash rice and cook rice, cook more rice for two people, and then let Hua Komatsu make a fire and prepare to kill chickens.
Hua Manxi was skillful and agile in killing chickens, and the two pheasants were neatly cleaned up in a while.
The meat of this pheasant is very tough, and it has been walking in the mountains for a long time, and it is very nutritious, and the stew is the best. Pheasant soup was in the previous life, but it was hard to find, and the pheasant soup sold in many restaurants and restaurants was also a gimmick, and it was not a genuine pheasant at all.
