Chapter 247 Koff's Widow

However, Dong's House has been in business for many years, with shops all over Daqi, and its influence on the whole Daqi is far beyond the imagination of many people.The Dong family's ocean-going fleet has dominated the sea for many years. How many seafood and novelty items from overseas vassal states have been sent back to Daqi.

And the seafood restaurants that must be found in every state capital are closed, and the people of Daqi will never want to eat authentic seafood, because the chefs in the seafood restaurants are all signed to death contracts, and the restaurants give vacations with wages. They were happy to go home and rest for a while.

Of course, the ordinary people were the most affected. Once the Dong's House closed, the coolies on the wharf, the bodyguard bureau, the chariot shop, and even the hawkers who sold snacks on the street found it difficult to make money.

Dong Ping and Zhang Yang have been running around for half a month, annoyed by many people's insults and opportunistic behavior, and made up their minds to turn Dong's house into a hedgehog, put away its soft belly, and erect its spikes high. Pierce someone's mouth.I also take this opportunity to take a closer look at who is sincere and who is lying.

In the end, the first one to offer their loyalty was the Manchu of the Chen family, which really warmed their hearts.

Everyone discussed and started to prepare. Mr. Chen selected the most clever and unencumbered children from the clan to board the boat. He planned to personally send the old masters on Taoyuan Island to Fei Island, and then directly stayed and guarded them until the master Get through the catastrophe smoothly, or when Master Dong Er picks them up again.

A super red horse boat that has been staying at the Chen's shipyard for seven or eight years, but has never really entered the sea, has finally been activated.Dong Ping led Yang Fan, thirty or so children of the Chen family, to Taoyuan Island, and the second sister Cao, her son, mother and son, also went with the boat to take refuge in the Philippine Island.

Zhang Yang waved his hands at his wife who was standing at the bow, secretly comforting himself, only when his wife and children were safe could he give it a go.If there is any difficulty, at most it will take his life. If you are lucky, you can even pull a few backs.

Seeing that the big boat had disappeared, he took the two fast horses Fuzi and Yunrui who had voluntarily left behind to the state capital, and while continuing to search for the three children, he arranged for the suspension of all businesses.

Three days later, on Taoyuan Island, except for the Chen family who voluntarily stayed on the island to guard, the Wang family, Cao family, and Dong family all packed up and saluted.As soon as Dong Ping's big ship docked, the boatmen quickly replenished water and carried the rites.

All the old and young girls were crying like weeping people, and Mrs. Cao cried so much that she almost fainted. No matter how everyone persuaded her, she still hugged the pillar in front of the main courtyard and did not let go.

Dong Ping looked sad, stepped forward and knelt down, and said comfortingly, "Ma'am, the situation is critical now. For your safety, I have to go far to sea. But I assure you, the place we are going to is definitely better than living here. Comfortable. You always look at different scenery, and you will be back in a year and a half."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cao rushed to Dong Ping, grabbed his sleeve and choked up, "Brother Ping, I'm not afraid of hardship. I'm worried about Sister Rong and Zhuzi, where are they now? When I came back one day, I felt so sad when I saw us hiding. And my three grandchildren, I don’t know where they went. I will wait for them to go together. They have something to do, and I won’t live anymore. ..."

Dong Ping thought of his sister's family whose life and death were uncertain, tears flowed in his heart, but he tried his best to endure, and said seriously, "Ma'am, sister and prince are very blessed people. When they were still in Yimianpo, they were extremely poor. In just ten years In just a few years, you will become rich like an enemy. Although it is a bit rough now, it will definitely be auspicious when you die. Brother Qi’s three children are also very smart, and they will definitely be fine. As long as you take good care of your body, within a few months, your family will be happy will be together."

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't cry." Aunt Cao wiped away her tears, stepped forward to help Mrs. Cao and comforted her as she walked, "We are all old, and staying on the island can't help you much. Why don't you find someone Hide in a quiet place, and the children can act with peace of mind. When the weather is calm, we will come back to reunite."

After talking, everyone came to the trestle bridge. Old man Cao and Uncle Wang saluted Mr. Zhao solemnly, thanking him for keeping the island.

Mr. Zhao laughed out loud, and said, "The two old brothers can go to the distant sea to see the scenery. I will stay and look after the family business on the island, and wait for Mr. Feng to come back by the way. He is good at chess and wine. I can't let him treat you like that." With an empty table, there is no opponent. You don’t have to worry about my safety, I still have a fourth-rank vacant position on my head, and whoever comes to the island will not dare to do anything to me. I hope you all have a safe journey and come back to reunite as soon as possible.”

When everyone heard the words, everyone was grateful, no matter men, women, old or young, they all saluted and thanked.

The big ship stopped for less than half a day and then set off for the distant Philippine Island. At this time, Dong Rong had no idea that her relatives were also heading for the same destination on the sea that had traveled for several days behind her.

In fact, thanks to the blessing of the old fisherman, since she boarded the official boat, although she has been farther and farther away from home, she doesn't have to worry about being hunted down by the Maitreya Sect. .Occasionally, when I am free, I sit on the side of the boat and enjoy the sea breeze, thinking about how to behave when I return to Daqi, imagining how to get revenge, and gnashing my teeth from time to time.

At this time, Dong Rong is like a volcano that has been suppressed for many years, and it will erupt with flames at any time, burning down all the people she hates.The two miscellaneous cooks in the back kitchen, I don't know whether it's instinctive vigilance or self-knowledge that their skills are too poor, they treat Dong Rong very politely on weekdays, and Dong Rong occasionally teaches them how to eat, so they get along fairly well.

Of course, if something doesn't go well, it's the cook Liu Gui who was robbed of his position because of seasickness.After he got used to the life on the ship, he went to the big kitchen where he cooked for the merchants and boatmen and servants, but he often went to the small kitchen to provoke him as an old servant of the Liu family.

Today it is said that the vegetables are salty, and tomorrow it is said that the smell of fish is strong, which is very annoying.Based on the principle of letting things go and letting others go, more things are worse than less things, Dong Rong never paid any attention to him.In the end, Liu Gui actually thought that Dong Rong was frightened by him, and stared at her nose and face, becoming more and more arrogant and domineering.

Sometimes Dong Rong would grab the food prepared by Dong Rong for the ship owner, Mr. Liu, and he would grab it and eat it. In the end, he would leave with a few derogatory words with his round belly.Dong Rong was annoyed, but she never had an attack.As a result, Liu Gui broke into the kitchen again during dinner, looking here and there, looking at himself as if wandering freely in his own vegetable field.

Dong Rong frowned when she saw his thick fingers rummaging through the white fungus in the cold salad, and said in a deep voice, "Master Liu, that dish will be served on the third master's table soon, if you rummage through it like this, how do you want the third master to eat it? "

Liu Guixian didn't expect that Dong Rong, who was usually silent, would open his mouth, and his words were so blunt. He froze for a moment, and then a burst of anger surged to his forehead, and he shouted loudly, "You despicable cook, come on!" Who puts a hat on his head? I was afraid that you would poison the third master with medicine, so I went to check it. The third master knew that I was the only one who rewarded me. Are you going to sue? If you are capable, you can sue! You see, the third master believes it You are an outsider, but you are still an old man like me!"

Dong Rong snorted coldly, stretched out her hand to take the plate of white fungus, and poured it into the slop bucket, retorting, "I am the cook, and you are the cook, and they are all in the same industry. If I am lowly, you will not be noble! , Mr. Liu will personally check every dish he serves, so I won’t bother you in the future. You’d better prepare the meals in the big kitchen, so as to save those merchants from having diarrhea all day long. If the stench reaches San Ye, you’ll get it It's not a silver reward, but a board!"

Liu Gui was poked at the sore spot, his face trembled with anger, he grabbed a plate at hand and threw it at Dong Rong, "You mean thing, shameless, you really think you are someone. It's just a Koff Widow, how dare you come to me to preach, if you don’t teach you today, you won’t know that Prince Ma has three eyes.”

Although Dong Rong doesn't know martial arts, her husband and four children usually practice martial arts in the morning and evening. Sometimes she will make random gestures when she gets excited, so her body is much more flexible than ordinary women.

Seeing the plate flying towards her, she tilted her head and dodged it.However, the plate inevitably hit the casserole on the stove with a "bang".The pot of wolfberry and yam porridge that had been boiled for two hours was left on the ground, and the heat was steaming, and the two cooks ran over together in shock, neither collecting nor throwing it away. pole.

"What should I do? This is what Manager Liu specially ordered. The third master has a bad appetite recently, and this yam porridge is the most appetizing, and it's too late to make another pot." One of the cooks glanced at Liu Gui, clearly Asking Dong Rong is actually blaming him.

Liu Gui felt a little guilty when he heard that, and cursed as he walked towards the door of the kitchen, "It's really bad luck, I got into trouble for nothing!"

"What's the matter, what's the smell?" Manager Liu happened to come over to serve the food, so he asked Liu Gui's words casually.Liu Gui was slightly startled, and quickly smiled, "Oh, Chief Manager, why did you come here? It's stuffy and hot. Just tell me if you have something to do, why don't you go there yourself?"

Guanshi Liu didn't seem to want to see him, so he responded calmly, "You, just take care of the big kitchen on weekdays, here..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly saw the rice porridge scattered on the ground, and immediately frowned, and asked loudly, "Why did this porridge spill, but that pot of yam porridge?"

Liu Guisheng was afraid that Dong Rong would sue him, so he said vaguely, "The chief manager, please do your work first, and the younger one will go back to work in the big kitchen."

While talking, his feet seemed to be oiled, and he slid out of the door, and soon disappeared.

The two cooks were annoyed and were about to come forward to complain.Dong Rong stopped them with her hand, then bent down to salute Guanshi Liu, and said in a low voice, "Guanshi Liu, I accidentally knocked over this porridge just now. The meal is about to start, and I'm afraid it will be too late to make another pot. How about I cook a bowl of millet porridge, that also has the benefits of warming the spleen and stomach."

Guanshi Liu is also a shrewd person. Thinking about Liu Gui's appearance just now, he guessed a little bit. Seeing Dong Rong not complaining now, he directly admitted his mistake, so he looked up to her a little bit more, nodded in agreement, " Okay, do it quickly. I'll report to the third master that today's dinner will be delayed by a quarter of an hour. "
