Chapter 52: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away

【Request for Recommendation Votes】

At eight o'clock in the evening, eight people gathered in Chen Chu's room as usual.

The man with glasses was the first to speak: "I have already bought the house, and on Qinghe Fang, the house is about 400 square meters, and there are two yards of 50 square meters. ”

He Yu exclaimed: "It's so big! That's a lot of money. ”

The man with glasses said, "Three thousand taels." ”

"It's so cheap."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said: "It's not cheap, the purchasing power of the currency of the Song Dynasty is amazing, one tael of silver is almost 1,002 yuan, and 3,000 taels is more than 3.6 million." ”

He Yu stuck out his tongue, frightened by the purchasing power of this dynasty's silver.

Chen Chu asked, "When can I move here?" ”

The man with glasses said: "The formalities have been completed today, and you can live in it tomorrow, I have already found someone to make a door plaque, and it will be called Zhu Mansion." ”

……

Nothing was said all night.

After everyone finished breakfast, they left the room, and the man with glasses led the group towards the new house.

When I walked to Zhu's Mansion, there were two men stepping on the ladder to hang the door plaque, and the two big characters of Zhu's Mansion were vigorous and powerful.

Chen Chu quipped: "Fatty, this house is the new house for you and the alliance leader. ”

Before the fat man could speak, the alliance leader couldn't help but say: "Whoever has his new house, just like him, has to be single in this life." ”

The fat man was about to fight back, and was pulled in by Chen Chu.

Passing through the first courtyard and entering the inner courtyard, the man with glasses said: "The east wing room is vacant, it is the room of Zhu Jun and Meng Shu, and everyone can choose the other rooms at will." ”

The fat man and Meng Shu were stunned, pointed at each other at the same time, and said in unison: "My room with her?" ”

The man with glasses nodded and said, "That's right, this room needs to be vacated." It's not really about letting you live together, though, just vacating it in case you need it. ”

After everyone had chosen their room, they came out of the room and sat in a circle around the stone table in the courtyard.

Meng Shu told her about finding Xu Xian yesterday, and Chen Chu also briefly said it.

"But I didn't mention introducing Xu Xian to her."

Meng Shu said: "It's okay, I'll talk to Xu Xian, let him not be so obvious when the time comes, and he is so shy, he will definitely not take the initiative." ”

Chen Chu said suddenly: "I have to let Xu Xian learn to cook first." ”

Meng Shu said: "I'll call him over now." ”

Chen Chu hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't be in a hurry, we have to prepare well, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt must be prepared." ”

Suddenly, the man with glasses asked, "Who knows how to cook?" ”

Silent......

Li Xiaoyao broke the deadlock with a chuckle and said, "I will." ”

But everyone forgot that Li Xiaoyao once said that he would make pheasants for them to eat.

The fat man complained: "The food of this broken dynasty is really unpalatable, let's hurry up and buy all the things we need to buy, and let Lao Li cook for us and have a good meal." ”

Chen Chu nodded and said, "The professor and I will go to buy pots and pans, you write a list of ingredients for the fat man, let him buy them, Meng Shu, Xi Xi and He Yu, you go to buy vegetables." ”

Chen Chu and the man with glasses walked on the street, and the man with glasses asked, "Is there something to find me?" ”

Chen Chu shook his head and said with a smile: "You are too sensitive. ”

"We're actually lucky." The man with glasses said suddenly.

Chen Chu looked at him inexplicably, a smile on the corner of the glasses man's mouth, and said, "Of course, you are not ruthless enough, but it is undeniable that you are a good captain." You have a strong cohesion, or in other words, everyone believes in you, and you have never let us down. ”

Chen Chu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I respect everyone who is selected by the Divine System Space, they have the right to choose for themselves, as long as it does not pose a threat to our lives, I will not interfere." ”

"Do you know where we're really lucky?" The man with glasses said: "Before we came here, there were no people who survived in the mythical world, and this is where we are luckiest." ”

Chen Chu only thought about it, and then understood the meaning of the man with glasses.

His so-called luck is the threat of others to his life.

Indeed, this is a great threat, and no one dares to guarantee that the people who came to the space of the divine system before will be heinous or soft-hearted.

Chen Chu felt that the latter was less likely, and the reason was very simple, an ordinary person suddenly became unusual, and had the ability that ordinary people did not have. What will he do at such times? In short, it must not be charity.

The procurement process lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon, and except for Chen Chu, the five people who had cultivation, the others were already hungry.

Meng Shu's three daughters bought chickens, ducks, fish, and all kinds of vegetables.

Li Xiaoyao was too slow to cook alone, and the fat man took the initiative to ask for help, and several other hungry people also went into the kitchen to help.

An hour later, a table of fragrant, steaming dishes filled the table.

Li Xiaoyao grabbed the wine jar and said, "I distilled this bottle of wine again, the degree is higher, the taste of the wine is stronger, everyone is full." ”

The crowd filled up their wines, raised their glasses, and shouted "Cheers!" ”

What followed was a burst of gobbling, and half an hour later, a table of fifteen or sixteen dishes was eaten cleanly, and not even a drop of soup remained.

Li Xiaoyao stretched out his hand to the fat man: "Fat man, come to a cigarette." ”

The fat man ate refreshingly, he didn't expect Li Xiaoyao's craftsmanship to be so good, and the taste was not bad compared to the dishes made in star-rated hotels. took out a cigarette lighter and lit it for him, and said: "Lao Li, in the future, our food will be all on you, and if you eat the dishes you cook, even if you kill me, I won't be able to eat anything else." ”

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "In the past few days, I have gone to a carpenter to renovate the kitchen, and by the way, I will make a few pots, this pot is too big, and the heat is not easy to control." ”

The fat man said: "I'll accompany you, tell me directly what you want to do, and I'll give you a hand and run errands." ”

Li Xiaoyao laughed and said, "This relationship is good, and it just saves me a lot of effort." ”

Three days later, the kitchen was finally ready for use after a major makeover.

A few woks are almost exactly the same as those of the 21st century, which Li Xiaoyao has asked the blacksmith to make.

The stove was also made into a stove similar to a hotel kitchen according to Li Xiaoyao's requirements, but this stove can only burn firewood, but this is already very good.

Other kitchen knives, chopping boards and other tableware are readily available.

In the past three days, Chen Chu has been staying at home and cultivating, and the original meal a day has become just drinking some water.

Meng Shu didn't go to the security hall again, which made Xu Xian, who had been looking forward to seeing her in her heart, very disappointed.

After dinner, Chen Chu said, "Call Xu Xian tomorrow." ”

Now that everything is in place, all they have to do is go ahead with the plan.

The next day, Meng Shu went to the security hall early in the morning, and Xu Xian was ecstatic when he saw it.

Meng Shu said: "Can I not work today?" ”

Xu Xian nodded without thinking about it, turned around and said a few words to the money shopkeeper, the money shopkeeper smiled helplessly, and said, "Go home early, don't let your sister worry." ”

Xu Xian nodded in understanding.

Walking on the road, Meng Shu asked, "Xu Xian, do you know how to cook?" ”

Xu Xian shook his head and said, "The gentleman is far away." ”

Meng Shu was unhappy and said, "What do you mean, we women can't be gentlemen?" ”

Xu Xian shook his head and explained: "Miss Meng Shu, you misunderstood what I meant, I just can't bear to kill." ”

Meng Shu was puzzled: "What does it have to do with a gentleman who can't bear to kill?" ”

Xu Xian asked, "Doesn't Miss Meng Shu know the allusion to this sentence?" ”

Meng Shu was rarely embarrassed by him, shook his head, and said, "What's the allusion?" ”

Xu Xian then told Meng Shu the allusions between King Xuan of Qi and Mencius, and finally concluded: "For birds and beasts, a gentleman can't bear to see them die when he sees them alive; When I heard them cry, I could not bear to eat their flesh. So, the gentleman always stays away from the kitchen. ”

Meng Shu suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case, I blamed you just now, I'm sorry." ”

Xu Xian shook his head, "It's okay. ”

Meng Shu suddenly asked, "Then you don't want to cook?" ”

Xu Xian thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I won't." ”

Meng Shu smiled sinisterly and said, "As long as you are willing, someone will naturally teach you how to cook." ”

Xu Xian was puzzled: "Why should I learn to cook?" ”

Meng Shu was speechless for a while, and after a while, she asked, "Do you want to come to my house every day in the future?" ”

Xu Xian nodded without thinking about it, "Yes." ”

After speaking, he blushed a little, after all, Meng Shu is a married woman, if she always stays with her, it is inevitable that some people will gossip.

Meng Shu said: "There is a rule in our family, every day's meals must be made in turns, I will do it today, he will do it tomorrow, and you will do it the day after tomorrow." So, if you want to come to my house every day, you have to learn how to cook. ”

Xu Xian had never heard of anyone like this, and he was stunned for a while.

Meng Shu asked: "Hurry up, do it if you want to, even if you don't want to." ”

Xu Xian thought to himself, just cook the dishes, be able to see her every day, even if he stays in the kitchen every day, he is willing.

"I do."

……

This is the first time Xu Xian has appeared in front of eight people, and several people who have never seen Xu Xian are constantly looking at him, this kind of undisguised naked eyes make Xu Xian a little uncomfortable.

Meng Shu pointed her fingers on several people one by one, and introduced: "This is my eldest brother Zhou Shixue, second brother Li Xiaoyao, third brother Chen Chu, fourth sister He Yu, and fifth sister Zhang Xixi." He pointed to Mayor Zhang again: "Daochang Zhang, you have seen him, he and my eldest brother are old friends and live here temporarily." ”

Xu Xian was dumbfounded and said, "Miss Meng Shu...... How many brothers and sisters do you have that don't share the same surname? ”

"Oh." Meng Shu said casually: "We are all from the same village, and when there was a famine in the village that year, we all ran out, thirty or forty people, and in the end there were only seven of us left." ”

Xu Xian was still puzzled, looked at the fat man, and said, "I remember, you seem to have said that you and Zhu Gongzi are the orders of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker ......"

Meng Shu's forehead...... After a few seconds, he said: "Yes, he is also from our village, and the baby parents who were set back then, although both of our parents have passed away, but the fate of our parents is greater than heaven and cannot be violated." So we got married. ”

Xu Xian muttered and said, "Oh, I see." ”

Meng Shu wiped the cold sweat, and the fat man also had sweat sliding down his forehead, it was really dangerous, and he missed the most important life experience. Fortunately, Meng Shu is witty, although she makes it up, but at least she can be round.
