Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 95
Gu Xiang looked back at Liu Jing, smiled, and waved goodbye to him warmly. The old dog behind him also held back his anxiety, and followed behind Mrs. Gu with lowered eyebrows and bowed head.

"From Ancheng to Shouling, it takes a day and a half to take shortcuts day and night. Liu Ziming has a lot of people and a big boat, and he is not familiar with the land. If there is a little trouble, he can be trapped on the water for three to five days. Don't worry, we still have time. .”

Gu Xiangdao, "Old Dog, you and Ermu are watching the situation of the Yongyi Army. If there is any change, please notify me in time."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Xiang lowered his eyes: "Tomorrow an official ship will enter Ancheng, and it will be loaded with auspicious tributes for His Majesty. It is said that it is a stone with a dragon pattern. Let people take a look. If there is no important thing beside it ..."

It doesn't hurt to let the ship run aground for a few days.

Once the official ship runs aground, it will not be possible to pass unimpeded on the water for at least a day or two.Furthermore, with Liu Huang's temperament, he had to ask a question or two when encountering such a matter.

"As for how to make the ship run aground, it's better to leave it to the local people who are familiar with the road."

Gu Xiang stayed in Ancheng these days and lived in a sales home all day long. Not only did he cook, but he also had a lot of dealings with those three religions and nine schools through the children.

The children in the sales house are all orphans, they are precocious, and they run around the city all day, doing any work that can earn a living.

The forces behind the scenes in Ancheng have a very high tolerance for them.

Don't look at someone like Lord Jiu coming to make trouble, but under normal circumstances, such things are rare. A group of young orphans want to beg for food, and no matter how cruel they are, they will probably be touched a little bit.

There are a lot of wolf-hearted beasts in this world, and those bastards who go out of their way are the villains among the villains, but they are always human, not really wolf-hearted.

Orphans like them can neither read, write nor have any skills. They can't find serious jobs, and they can't look forward to a human-like life. In order to survive, they have to take on messy errands.

For an adult to jump around so recklessly, the major forces that have already divided the territory have already wiped it away, and the remaining oily residue may have to be chewed three or five times.But if it was these orphans who broke the rules, most of them would just turn a blind eye and close their eyes as long as their big interests were not touched, and let it go.

These days, people at the bottom also have to be honest and shameless. They behave too inhumanly, and they can't win over the people under them. That's not the reason for long-term business.

After coming and going, the outcasts from the sales home and the beggars on the street became the ones with the most acquaintances in Ancheng's underground business.

When Gu Xiangren was in the sales home, he discovered the little secrets that these older children were hiding that were not so good.

Of course, she has found a way for these children to live by asking people to teach them useful knowledge, whether it is literacy or accounting, in this day and age, as long as they can read and write, they are better than most poor people who depend on the sky for food.But it didn't forcefully twist the branches and vines that had grown out of the dolls who already had their own ideas.

Teaching the law, teaching history, rectifying the mind and morality, within the framework of keeping the bottom line, Gu Xiang intends to show them the way, but does not comment on the way of life they have no choice, although she will also do it for the children. A little quiet, I would rather take the trouble by myself and go to the restaurant to listen to the music.

In a flash, Gu Xiang arranged the flowers along the fish bone slices very skillfully.

Yang Yuqing wanted to eat something sweet, Brother Cheng wanted something sour, and Jin Qilin wanted to eat fish, and he wanted it to be beautiful.

They were looking forward to Gu Xiang cooking three or five dishes in one go, taking into account everyone's tastes, but Gu Xiang planned to cook only one dish of squirrel mandarin fish.

Sweet and sour, or fish, don't be picky.

The cut flowers were beautifully cut, Gu Xiang gently shook the fish tail, poured hot oil on it, and the fish meat loosely scattered into a cluster of plump, round and lovely flowers.

Yang Yuqing's eyes shone brightly, before the fish came to the table, he couldn't wait to steal a chopstick with his chopsticks, spread the soup and fish meat on the snow-white and fragrant rice, the thick juice was mixed into the rice, and the color was bright, almost like a painting.

"Well."

The taste of each bite is different, after several big mouthfuls, Yang Yuqing carefully admired the ball of fish that swelled into flowers, it was really beautiful in every way.

"Clear mountains and green waters paired with mandarin fish are beautiful, beautiful. The fish is so tender and yet very tasty. It's very good, very good, but it's a little lacking."

Zhang Laodao, who sneaked in and sat there at some time, took over the whole fish by himself, baring his teeth and claws.Cheng Hao was so crowded that he could only shrank pitifully to the side, into a small ball, and babbled about the lack of food.

Daotong next to Zhang Laodao sat with his head down, his expression was numb, and he didn't even have the strength to slander.

It is pitiful that he has been with his master since he was five years old, and he said that he was raised by his master, but when he thinks about the experiences of these years, he doesn't know who raised who.

Hey, this apprenticeship is the same as getting married, once entrusted to someone else, it will be bitter, bitter!
A group of people were so absorbed in eating hard that they really didn't have the energy to pay attention to the little Taoist boy's sadness.

The sweet and sour aroma of fish erupts from the restaurant kitchen. The guests on the left and right see the waiter carrying a plate of flowering fish, big or small, all the way up the stairs, and their heads turn 180 degrees involuntarily. One almost flashed his neck.

"What kind of food is so fragrant?"

"Xiao Er, I want this too."

"Give me one too."

The waiter in the store over there smiled wryly, and the shopkeeper was also helpless, so he could only quickly explain with a smile on his face: "The customers borrowed the kitchen to make their own dishes, and the shop really doesn't have them."

All the diners were disappointed.

Although Gu Xiang and his group have all changed into ordinary clothes, their ordinaryness is just that they don’t wear those huge gems on the bright side. Just their temperament and demeanor, they don’t look like ordinary people when they put on sacks. At first glance, everyone thinks this is A group of sons and daughters are traveling, and no one dares to disturb them.

Not far downstairs, Wang Jingzu took a look, hurried back to the opposite teahouse, and said in a low voice, "Master Gao, Mrs. Xue, the Taoist priest is indeed eating in that restaurant."

Gao Feng nodded with a tired face.

When he saw Taoist Zhang that day, he hesitated for a moment, planning to back up the important ceremony first, and when he saw the well-mannered attendants and the towering boat that day, he was shocked for a while, his mind was confused, and he forgot about the business.

Afterwards, he heard that Mrs. Gu was the host and was going to hold a banquet, so he was confident that he would be the guest of honor.

No matter what the banquet is, and no matter how high the lord's family is, if the son of the Gao family wants to go, why can't he go?
As a result, he let out the wind with confidence, and waited quietly for the invitation to be delivered to his door obediently, but unexpectedly, he waited lonely.

The big ship goes to sea, and the banquet is far away at sea.

Gao Feng was dumbfounded and found the county government. The county government sent people to talk to Xiang, but he couldn't get through the blockade of the pier, so he had to wait.

He lowered his head slightly, the peak was not obvious on the surface, but there was a faint sense of displeasure in his heart.

That eccentric young lady of the Gu family seems unusual, so is he an ordinary person?
"It's neither the daughter of a famous family, nor the daughter of an important official in the court..."

After waiting for many days, Gao Feng investigated Gu Xiang's origin through his own connections, but the result was obvious because his connections could not be found out.

If the iron-faced censor is still there, he may have to be cautious, but even if these people have some chance to invite Master Qin Dao, there is no need for him to avoid it.

Thinking of that day when he was actually bluffed by this little trick, Gao Feng felt more and more uncomfortable.
