Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 509 Sealing
Faced with Gu Xiang's cold face, Jiang Shi didn't mind at all, she smiled all over her face, and took her hand affectionately: "Okay, okay, I know you young ladies who are used to loving and loving It doesn't matter if the elders have an opinion, we are all real relatives."

Jiang's blah blah blah blah.

Gu Xiang felt strange, and wanted to see what she was doing, so she didn't interrupt, and didn't forcefully drive her out.

After listening for a while, Jiang said that she didn't get to the point for a long time, and they were all useless things.

Why, according to her seniority, Gu Xiang still calls her a cousin. In short, according to this person, the two families can be regarded as quite close relatives.

"My mother and I will get closer in the future."

After talking a lot of nonsense, Mrs. Jiang left four-color snacks and finally left.

Gu Xiang: "..."

Qiu Li saw her off and came back rubbing her arms: "I really have goosebumps all over my body. This Jiang's smile is really scary."

Gu Xiang smiled, and picked up the four-color snack brought by Mrs. Jiang: "Fanlou's?"

After taking it apart, both master and servant were stunned.

Gu Xiang took out the banknotes inside and looked at them. There were five in total, each of which was a big ticket of 500 taels of silver.

Qiu Li was dumbfounded: "My good fellow, this Jiang family has done a great job."

This is a full two thousand 500 taels of silver.

Many rich and noble families marry their daughters, and the dowry does not necessarily add up to so much. If the family has a little more children, the dowry of 1000 taels of silver for the daughter of a noble family is not considered shabby.

Gu Xiang was speechless, and called the old dog over, and stuffed the silver ticket into Dim's heart, and asked him to send it back to Mrs. Jiang.

I don't know this person, so I can't take such a large sum of money from her.

Although Gu Xiang thought it was strange, he didn't take it too seriously. He sent the old dog away, and went to the kitchen to make morning food.

She had a dream last night, dreaming that she ate a particularly delicious steamed bun.

It is said to be steamed buns, but it is actually steamed buns.

Gu Xiang smacked his lips, and couldn't resist having someone kill a suckling sheep, and steamed several steamed buns with stuffing.

The aroma wafted out from the kitchen, filling half the garden with fragrance.

All the diners watched from afar as Gu Xiang was holding a steamed bun the size of half a face plate in his hand, biting it open, the snow-white, almost transparent skin trembled slightly, and the soy-red sauce oozed out, dipping a little bit on her face. corners of the lips.

"Gudu."

Quite a few diners were starving at once, and Qi Shushua turned to stare at Qiuli and the others.

Qiu Li: "...Isn't it, you have to try it, it's only good enough to get a water mark."

"No need to taste it, let's try it!"

Looking at Gu Chu eating steamed buns from a distance, the pancakes and tofu nao in their hands didn't seem so sweet.

Qiuli resisted the pressure and did not let go.

These steamed buns were taken to the staff cafeteria this morning, and Qiu Li and the staff of 'Gu Ji' ate to their heart's content.

Aunt Sun, who has been in charge of washing pots and dishes in the restaurant, also brought three big meat buns back that day, and reheated one to eat that night.

I don't know how Chef Gu seasoned it. Compared with the freshly baked buns, the steamed buns turned out to be another kind of delicacy that is not inferior.

The soup was slightly condensed, but completely blended into the fat and thin mutton. The bite and aroma were very different. Aunt Sun and her man had never tasted such a good taste in this life. Shedu smelled the fresh fragrance, and the children around cried loudly for a long time.

That night, Aunt Sun went out to talk to the neighbors as usual, and the compliments and envy from the people around her made her laugh for half a month.

When the couple came home at night, Aunt Sun sighed, "Who would have thought of that?"

The son of the couple married a daughter-in-law, and went to the daughter-in-law's house. He hasn't been back once in ten years. Having a son is like having no son. The couple's life is also hard. Cheng imagined that in his later years, he could still find a good employer and live a good life that others would envy.

"Today I heard some rotten-tongued nonsense again, saying that we are the cook... Forget it, anyway, I also smeared their faces with sewage. If I hear it again next time, I have to tear their stinky mouths apart."

Hearing this, the man couldn't help frowning: "It didn't stop a while ago, no one dared to say anything more, why is something wrong these two days?"

Nowadays, all the employees in restaurants, whether they are service personnel, those who carry water, cut firewood, wash pots, wash dishes, etc., or the vegetable farmers who specialize in serving vegetables, all have a particularly high loyalty to "Gu Ji". That's totally two different things.

Gu Xiang felt that the wages he paid were not high, and they were paid according to ordinary standards.

Bonuses and the like are given according to the amount of labor, and there is not much money, but in the eyes of these employees, the wages they get are enough for the whole family to sell to her. Adding bonuses and various subsidies, it is simply It is the price of death.

In the evening, when Aunt Sun and his wife were discussing rumors, Gu Xiang was receiving Li Changsui in his own garden.

These are the same rumors that the two spoke.

But Li Sheng knew much more than Aunt Sun and the others.

"In the beginning, it was thought that it was the one in the palace who caused the trouble, but recently her people have been watched by our Imperial City Secretary, and we have not noticed any changes. I just got the news today. The rumors came from the boudoir. This is about the young lady from Zhongyonghou's family who was born in the third house, she is on good terms with the daughter of Prime Minister Wang's family, and people everywhere say that Gu Chu is all about marrying into the Duke's mansion as a concubine, once the news spread, it spread a little too much."

Li Sheng smiled, "But little lady, there is no need to worry, she has suppressed it."

At this time, Cuiniang, the third bedroom in Zhongyonghou's mansion, couldn't understand why her father, who loved her the most, became so angry, not only grounded her feet, but even kicked out the two close servants beside her.

Cuiniang cried until her eyes were swollen, but her father didn't change his mind.

Gu Xiang nodded: "By the way, I have received a lot of great gifts recently."

Since Mrs. Jiang gave her 500 taels in silver notes, many people have stuffed her with silver inexplicably one after another.

More than a thousand taels, and a few hundred taels.

However, looking back at this, Xiang kept a careful eye, no matter who came to the door to send what, she refused to accept them all, and she turned away several wives from aristocratic families who came to see her.

Gu Xiang laughed: "In a few days, I'm afraid I'll gain another reputation for domineering."

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows: "This is really a good reputation."

The noble ladies in the capital are not afraid of being domineering, and being domineering is not easy to be bullied.

From Li Sheng's point of view, Chef Gu just has a good temper.

"These people are the family members of the women's family that the little lady rescued in Huaibei Lane at that time." Li Sheng sighed, "They were also worried that something bad would be said, so they specially used money to seal the little lady's mouth."

Gu Xiang: "..."
