happy event

chapter 249

Fortunately, the doctor on board finally arrived. He tried his breath, rolled his eyelids, sounded his pulse again, and finally shook his head and said a lot of terms.

Guanshi Liu just came over after receiving the news, and when he saw this, he complained, "Mr. Wang, don't hang up your book bag. Human life is at stake. Get a prescription."

The old doctor was probably a little annoyed because his interest was interrupted. He got up and pointed to the half-dead Liu Gui, and said, "Get two basins of saponin water, pour it in, let him spit it out, wash his intestines and stomach, and keep him for half a month." That's enough, who made him greedy!"

After speaking, the old man walked away with the box on his back.Liu Guanshi and the boatmen were left behind, all baffled by what they heard. After all, shopkeeper Liu was the smart one. He first called for someone to serve the saponin water, and then asked in a low voice, "Who had breakfast with Liu Gui in the morning? Who is he?" What kind of poison did you eat?"

The two cooks in the small kitchen also stood in the crowd to watch the fun. They were very happy to see Liu Gui in such a mess.But after hearing this, I was afraid that Dong Rong would be punished, so I hurried forward to help explain, "Master Liu came to our small kitchen in the morning, and it happened that Sister-in-law Cao was thinking about a new dish, so he rushed to eat it. Sister-in-law Cao said , She has never eaten it before, and she was afraid that Master Liu would feel uncomfortable after eating it. But Master Liu refused to listen, and even scolded Mrs. Cao, and then ate a large plate of sashimi, and the sauce was wiped clean .After that, we don’t know if he went back to Dazao and ate something else.”

Guanshi Liu frowned, then asked the handyman in the big kitchen, and everyone said that Liu Gui didn't eat anything else.Needless to say, the problem was the plate of sashimi.

He thought for a while and said, "There are too many kinds of fish caught in the sea, everyone should pay more attention and try to eat cooked food as much as possible."

Everyone nodded in response, and at this time the saponin water had already been brought over.Two handymen scooped up water with ladles, opened Liu Gui's mouth and poured it in.Soon, Liu Gui's stomach swelled like a ball, and everyone thought about it for a long time, but they didn't know how to make him spit out the water.

Of course, picking your throat with your hands is an easy way, but no one is willing to do such a disgusting thing. Everyone pushes each other, but they all refuse to do it.

At this time, Dong Rong came out from behind the crowd, and said apologetically, "Although Master Liu ignored my dissuasion and insisted on eating the sashimi to cause this disaster, I am somewhat guilty, so... ...Let me do it."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, and secretly praised Dong Rong for being reasonable, but unfortunately, they were so scared that they swallowed the words before they could say them out of their mouths.

It turned out that Dong Rong didn't reach out to pick Liu Gui's throat, but directly laid him flat on the deck, and then stomped down on his bulging belly.

A jet of water with the fragrance of saponin came out of Liu Gui's mouth suddenly, it may have been too painful, he finally woke up, looked around blankly, before he could ask anything.Dong Rong's second kick fell again, followed by the third and fourth...

Liu Gui was stunned for a while, trying to escape, but he had already exhausted all his strength from vomiting and diarrhea just now, and he couldn't move a single finger at all.I could only watch Dong Rong's feet kicking on his softest belly again and again.

Dong Rong kicked more than a dozen feet, and then glanced at Liu Gui, who had passed out again, and said with a faint smile, "Should I do it again, the stolen goods in the stomach can't be vomited cleanly, the root of the disease should be left behind son."

All the boatmen and servants subconsciously took a step back, only to feel a chill rushing from the tailbone to the back of the head.At first, I thought that Mrs. Cao was weak and easy to bully, but I didn't expect that the old saying is true, a dog that bites doesn't bark!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that she was so vicious that she kicked Liu Gui unconscious.It seems that he must not bully her in the future, otherwise he may be the next one to be unlucky.

Dong Rong kicked like this, and the evil fire that had accumulated for many days finally vented most of it. It was the time when she felt happy, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at her, so she subconsciously looked up and saw the railing on the second floor. A middle-aged man in aquamarine gauze was looking at her with interest.She guessed the identity of this person almost immediately, so she nodded slightly, finally put down the hem of her skirt gently, turned around and walked slowly back to the small kitchen.

Manager Liu finally came back to his senses, coughed twice, and ordered, "Take Liu Gui to the conference cabin, and tell him not to eat carelessly in the future."

After finishing speaking, he hurried to the front cabin, and climbed up to the observation hall on the second floor, and sure enough, he saw his master leaning against the window with a smile in his eyes.

"How, did I tell you? Liu Gui is going to be unlucky, you still don't believe it, how is it now?"

Liu Guanshi had no choice but to smile bitterly, and stepped forward to salute and replied, "The third master is wise, and this slave is ashamed. This month's wages will be dedicated to the third master as a bet. Next time, the slave will not dare to bet against the third master again, otherwise our family will grow up together." When I was young, I would drink the sea breeze to live."

Hearing this, Mr. Liu smiled even more happily, sat down again and said, "You don't have to pretend to be so pitiful, I still need a few taels of silver from you, it's just for fun. I will pay for it later. Ten taels of silver, I will reward you for serving with all your heart these days. Besides, go and call the cook, how can such an interesting person not get acquainted?"

As the chief steward of the Liu family, who claims to be rich and half-country, how could Liu Guanshi live only on monthly silver, but he still felt that his face was radiant after coaxing his master to be happy in this way, so he responded happily and went to call Dong Rong up.

Dong Rong had just steamed a pot of shrimp dumplings. Seeing Manager Liu calling out, she picked up a plate after thinking about it, and followed him to the front cabin.

Mr. Liu didn't put on airs, he waved his hand to signal her to sit down when he saw her saluting, and then ate half a plate of shrimp dumplings with relish, then glanced at Dong who was sitting on the brocade stool without any sign of panic Rong smiled and said, "This shrimp dumpling tastes good, even better than the one made by the chef at Wanghailou."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Guanshi Liu, "Reward!"

Manager Liu hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Dong Rong. His heart ached. The master had just rewarded him, and he hadn't warmed it up yet, so he sent it out.

Dong Rong didn't have any joy on her face, but she didn't refuse, and thanked her again when she received it.

Third Master Liu took a sip from his teacup, then asked slowly, "Why, Mrs. Cao has nothing to say?"

A hint of guard flashed in Dong Rong's half-drooped eyes, and she responded lightly, "The slave is just a cook, I don't know what to say to the master. If the master is unclear about something, feel free to ask. The slave must know everything and say everything. .”

"Slave servant?" Third Master Liu raised his brows, and looked at Dong Rong carefully in a funny way.Although this woman is ordinary in appearance, with a coarse cloth dress and a silver hairpin in her jet-black hair, at first glance she is no different from an ordinary fisherwoman, but there is such a faint demeanor about her that she is not surprised .And when the word "servant" came out of her mouth, not only was it not humble and obedient, but it was extremely ironic.

"If my guess is correct, you are not a fisherwoman, are you?"

"No matter where the little girl comes from or what her background is, she is now just a cook on the ship." Dong Rong, who has lived on the ship for many years, felt awkward calling herself a servant girl. Hearing Mr. Liu's question, she took advantage of the situation and changed her name, and then chose another one. Vague and pleasant answer.

Sure enough, Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Okay, that's a good answer. Since you have boarded my Liu family's boat and are responsible for my three meals, then start receiving the moon silver from now on. On the fifth day of January, you Satisfied?"

When Dong Rong heard this, she subconsciously looked up at Mr. Liu.She usually treats her servants leniently, but the big maid who waits by her side only earns a few taels of wages. The third master Liu just gave her such a high wage. Is it because he is acting boldly, or does he have other motives?
Mr. Liu saw her look in his eyes, and smiled even more joyfully, "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. If you feel that you are being kind, you can think about new foods and serve them more carefully in the future. In addition, I don't Eat sashimi."

Dong Rong's heart trembled, guessing that the third master Liu must understand that Liu Gui's matter was written by her, so she lowered her head and replied, "Yes, the truth of 'repay virtue with kindness, and repay grievances with straightness' is understandable. People back off now!"

As she spoke, she took two steps back, then turned and went downstairs.

"What a 'reporting grievances straight'." Mr. Liu drank his cup of tea in one gulp and praised, "At first I thought she was an interesting woman, but unexpectedly, I still looked down on her."

Guanshi Liu couldn't hold back anymore, stepped forward to persuade in a low voice, "Third Lord, since this lady Cao dared to harm Liu Gui, she might have bad intentions for you someday, why don't you take her out of the small kitchen... ..."

"No, she is a smart person. Those two sentences just now made it clear. If I treat her kindly, she will repay her twice. If I treat her harshly, I will end up like Liu Gui. This is really a shame. Strange woman!"

Guanshi Liu grinned secretly in shock, worried but had no choice but to keep an eye on Dong Rong in the future.

"Give her some more work in the future, one is that my Liu family's money is not easy to get, and the other is to test what skills she has."

Mr. Liu threw out another sentence, and finally grabbed a book and put it on his face, enjoying the sunshine while taking a nap.

Guan Liu had no choice but to retreat.

Besides, when Dong Rong went back to the small kitchen, she saw the two cooks muttering together, so she smiled and shared some of the reward silver she just got with them.The two cooks were a little uncomfortable seeing her at first, but as soon as they got the money, they immediately put that little fear behind them.After all, he deserved Liu Gui's misfortune, but Dong Rong treated them all well.

Dong Rong talked to them about the homework, then chose a fat fish, cut the meat and chopped it into pieces, and prepared to make fish ball soup, which was served to the front cabin during lunch.

The salary of eating the king is a matter of loyalty to the king.Although she didn't understand why Mr. Liu treated her so favorably, she had to do her job well because she paid a high salary for this man.
