Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 146 Departure
Gu Xiang slightly thought about what happened these days, then fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping until dawn, Gu Xiang heard rustling outside before opening his eyes the next day.

"Li Zhui, add more firewood."

"Ah Feng, you catch and kill these two chickens, remember the habit of being a cook, and be careful with bloodletting."

"Hey."

Gu Xiang was startled, and looked out through the window, only to see a hazy shadow.She hurriedly dressed and went out, and saw the old dog and Ermu sitting and talking standing under the arbor.

Lao Du, Ah Feng, and Li Zhui from the Yongyi Army were busy at the stove.

All kinds of miscellaneous tasks on the stove have been done, the radishes are cut into slices, the rice of various grades is sorted, and the pots and pans are cleaned and placed neatly.

As soon as Gu Xiang went out, Lao Du put on a smile on his face: "I finally saw you, Chef Gu, well, safety is a blessing."

Gu Xiang was also surprised: "Dutou, you are not busy in Huotou camp, why are you here?"

A Feng sighed: "Where is there any Huotou camp? The brothers in the Yongyi Army will all disperse and go their separate ways. Head Du and I also took the severance money."

Old Du said: "My mother-in-law and I are the only two in my family. I had a son in the past and married into someone's family. I haven't seen each other in these years. I have been working in Huotouying for many years. It is said that my cooking skills are not bad, but You can’t cook those exquisite dishes in restaurants outside. Li Changsui told me that you are short of staff under Chef Gu, so I thought about whether you could buy me and let me earn some money, okay? Buy rouge and gouache for my mother-in-law."

Gu Xiang: "..."

"I'm really not joking." Old Du said softly, "Little lady, to be honest, Old Du is really optimistic about your future. I haven't enjoyed any blessings in most of my life. When I met you, I felt that I had met a noble person seriously. It’s all about following you to heaven. Whether I can let my mother-in-law live a better life than other women in the future depends entirely on you.”

A Feng laughed: "Anyway, I will follow Du Tou. Du Tou is smarter than me and has more experience. It is definitely right to follow him."

Gu Xiang: "...can't afford it."

Can't afford it is a joke.

She really thought about what Du Tou said. After getting in touch with him these days, she knows Du Tou better. It's not a bad thing to help her by her side.

"Let's talk in detail later, let's cook first."

Gu Xiang looked at the chicken that Ah Feng had handled, and hurriedly packed it up, half of it was braised in soy sauce, and the other half was boiled in soup.

Not long after, the smoke from the kitchen curled up, and there was a long queue in front of the cafeteria as usual.

It's just that there are two more young and beautiful women in the team today.

Both of them were wearing peach red satin jacket skirts, a rabbit fur cloak over their heads, the same pair of maidservants, hairpins with delicate beaded flowers, and fair skin, they didn't look like the villagers of Gu Zhuang.

"Is this the restaurant you were talking about? It's clearly something that a bunch of country bumpkins eat. I said brother, you are too ignorant. As for Baba calling us back to eat?"

Wang Tiesheng didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, second sister, don't look down on country things, if it wasn't for our Guzhuang people, no one else would be able to eat them."

Next to her, Zhou Dongniang was talking to her neighbors. When she heard the movement, she glanced at her and sneered, "Who am I? , you Xihuan Pavilion is not doing business today? Are you free to come back to see your uncle and aunt?"

Before the two women in red could speak, Wang Tiesheng hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't be as knowledgeable as the two of them, children are not sensible."

Zhou Dongniang rolled her eyes: "I don't dare, people are in trouble now, and all the people who come and go are wealthy sons, how can we miserable people dare to provoke others?"

Gu Xiang looked up and didn't care.

The old dog said softly: "Those two women are Wang Tiesheng's cousins. We don't know their original names, but they are called Cherry and Qiuli now. Their parents died early, and they were sold to Xihuan Pavilion as maids by my uncle. A few years ago, the brothers of the Wang family saved money and planned to use it to redeem the two of them, but neither of them was happy, saying that being Miss Xixi's maid was a hundred times better than going out to marry someone. Ken was pissed for a while."

"Wang Tiesheng is honest and kind. Cherry and Qiuli used to have a good relationship with him, and now they have not broken contact."

Gu Xiang nodded.

She has the memory of the original owner, so she naturally knows the name of Huan Pavilion.

The best brothel in Shouling County is Xihuan Pavilion. The famous prostitute in Xihuan Pavilion, Miss Xixi, has a wide network of connections and a high status in Shouling. She is comparable to the stars of her era. Throwing, just to appreciate Miss Xixi's song and dance.

Ms. Xixi is always a showman rather than a person, regardless of whether it is true or not, anyway, that's what she said.

Since these two women have become Miss Xixi's maids, their lives are naturally well-clothed and well-fed. Compared with living in the countryside where they are hungry and full, they must be much better off.

Things in the world are easy to go from being frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Even if the two of them first entered the Huan Pavilion, they hoped to be redeemed one day. I can't bear this kind of suffering anymore.

Cherry and Qiuli looked at Zhou Dongniang, sneered a few times, but paid no attention to her.

It was Zhou Dongniang who was so quick that she regretted it after finishing her speech. Although she didn't like those people in Xihuan Pavilion, she also knew that the people who came and went there on weekdays were all big shots. A little person, offending anyone is not easy, so he quickly shut up and stopped talking.

At this moment, Wang Tiesheng and the others finally lined up.

Wang Tiesheng hesitated for a while, and bought two bowls of chicken soup for his cousin. Fortunately, his cousin is his serious relative, otherwise, according to the rules of the cafeteria, he would not be able to buy food even if he had money.

The people in Guzhuang do physical work all day long. In fact, they like cheap food the most. They like heavy oil and salt. They are not interested in soup and water.

It's just that there are many elderly people at present, their health is not very good, and their teeth are not working well. Chicken soup is nourishing, and the combination of medicinal materials can achieve the effect of diet therapy. Gu Xiang made chicken soup specially.

Because there was a lot left, Gu Xiang scooped up two big sea bowls for Wang Tiesheng.

Cherry and Qiuli saw Wang Tiesheng coming tremblingly carrying a wooden tray from a distance, and they frowned together: "Drinking chicken soup again?"

"Cousin, you can still drink it. Miss Xixi doesn't like to drink this kind of soup. In the past, the chicken soup was honored in the kitchen, and it all went into our sister's mouth..."

"Don't talk, try it."

Wang Tiesheng smiled and put two bowls of soup in front of his sister.

Cherry was also taken aback.

The color of this soup is really good, as clear as water, and the chicken nuggets dotted in it are also beautiful in color. She has drunk countless chicken soups, but she has never seen such a beautiful one.
