Chapter 134: Recognize the door
After lunch, the whole family went to the roast duck restaurant to pick up Gong Qi, and left the mobile cart and other items there.
The moving cart was easy to solve, but the dishes needed to be washed. Qin Huiyin discussed it with Li Taohua, took out ten coins and gave them to Gong Qi, asking him to help find a kitchen helper to wash them.
Gong Qi confiscated the money and pointed at two people at random and said, "This job is for you two to take charge of. It will be done every three days, and the monthly salary will increase by 30 wen."
When the two heard this, they were overjoyed and agreed very readily.
Gong Qi said: "You give them ten coins for each wash. If you forget to pay them, or they become greedy, it will be difficult to deal with. It is better to explain the benefits clearly from the beginning. They know that this is their job. With this job, they can get an extra thirty coins every month."
"Brother Gong Qi, you are so awesome. I still have a lot to learn from you." Qin Huiyin looked at him with admiration.
Gong Qi grinned and said, "It's OK. It's mainly because I've seen a lot with my uncle."
"Two people will get sixty cents, and I'll pay for the sixty cents."
"We are in a cooperative relationship. How can you be so fussy over sixty cents? You don't have to pay this money. I won't take it even if you give it to me."
"Okay, then I'll give you a jar of crab roe sauce." Crab roe sauce was exactly sixty cents a jar.
This time Gong Qi did not refuse. They were attracted by the sauces, and the girl was worldly-wise and willing to use the sauces to pay for her labor, so he had no reason to refuse.
Gong Qi drove a horse-drawn carriage behind their ox cart.
It was almost dark when we arrived at the village. The villagers were resting in their homes and waiting for their wives to prepare dinner.
The sound of the ox cart was particularly clear. When the villagers heard the sound, they curiously opened the gate and looked out.
Now everyone knows that Tang Dafu's family is rich, and every time he comes back from the city, he will buy a lot of things. With Wang's previous experience, no one will go to the city to get into trouble again, but it does not mean that they are not curious about what business Tang Dafu's family is doing and how profitable that business is.
Qin Huiyin didn't buy anything this time. After all, the house was almost fully furnished and there was nothing more to buy.
However, this time she brought back Gong Qi, who was driving a horse-drawn carriage. When the villagers saw Gong Qi, they all curiously guessed his identity.
"A young man driving a horse-drawn carriage, could he be coming to their house to discuss marriage?"
"Are there any girls of the right age in their family? Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu are both only twelve years old."
"Then you can get engaged first and then get married when you're fifteen!"
Gong Qi felt uncomfortable and shouted, "Boss, so you live here! Now I know where to pick up the goods."
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "If you were driving a horse-drawn carriage, it wouldn't take so long. Today, it's mainly because you're following behind our ox-drawn cart, which is a bit of a burden for you. However, we only took you for a walk once. Can you remember the way?"
"Don't underestimate the brains of us waiters. If we have a bad memory, we will be troubled by customers. Don't worry, I have memorized the route. Next time the shopkeeper asks me to come to you, I will definitely find you."
The villagers listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly found it boring.
It turns out that they were not talking about marriage, but discussing business.
Tang Dafu was really lucky to marry a golden hen that lays golden eggs.
When Gong Qi came, he knew that he would stay here today, but the Tang family has a beautiful mother and two beautiful daughters, and it would be inconvenient for him, an adult man, to live here.
Mr. Tang San said with a smile: "Young man, if you don't mind, why don't you stay with me tonight?"
"Old man, I couldn't ask for more. Thank you very much."
"We have distinguished guests today, I will cook a few more delicious dishes for you to go with your wine."
Qin Huiyin first changed into a set of clothes suitable for work, then put her hair up and secured it with a headband.
"I want to eat pickled fish." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Second sister, if I catch fish, can I eat pickled fish?"
"Sure, go and give it a try." Qin Huiyin said, "I'll go prepare the other ingredients first."
Gong Qi rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I'll go with you."
Qin Huiyin arranged the dishes for tonight and then prepared various ingredients according to the dishes.
Tang Luwu and Li Taohua helped out. Mr. Tang San followed the two boys, one big and one small, to the river.
The excited laughter could be heard from a long distance away.
Tang Luwu glanced outside and smiled gently, "It looks like they caught some fish."
"I think Xiao'er's body is no different from that of an ordinary person. He doesn't need the treatment of that fame-seeking doctor. He even wants to trick people into studying medicine. Who knows what he is up to?"
Li Taohua was obviously disgusted by the doctor.
Qin Huiyin said: "If mother doesn't like him, we will ignore him when Uncle Tang's leg is healed and comes back."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Li Taohua's expression softened.
Tang Yi smiled and came back with two big fish: "Mom, big sister and second sister, look at the fish we caught."
Qin Huiyin saw the two big fish and said with a smile: "How about one pickled fish and one grilled fish?"
"Okay, these are all my favorites." Tang Yi smiled excitedly.
"What's there for you, a greedy cat, not to like?" Li Taohua said unhappily, "Look at all the mud on you, why don't you go wash it quickly, don't you know your own body?"
Tang Luwu came over nervously, took the fish from Tang Yixiao's hand and threw it into the bucket beside him, then pulled him outside: "Go to the bathing shed at the back and wash it."
"Bring some hot water over." Qin Huiyin chased out and reminded.
"Yes, look how stupid I am." Tang Luwu ran back, took the bucket to scoop the hot water from the small pot, then mixed it with cold water to make warm water, and walked outside carrying the water.
Gong Qi took the bucket she was carrying: "Let me do it, I'll take him to wash it."
"Thank you, Brother Gong Qi." Tang Luwu said with blushing cheeks.
She is timid by nature, and although she has changed a lot recently, she still feels shy talking to a stranger at such a close distance.
Gong Qi came out with hot water and asked Tang Yixiao where their bathroom was. Tang Yixiao took Gong Qi there.
At this time, Tang Luwu stood not far away and shouted to Tang Yi with a smile: "Little brother, your change of clothes."
Tang Yi smiled, took the clothes from Tang Luwu, and said with a bright smile: "Thank you, big sister."
After Tang Luwu left, Gong Qi said, "Go wash!"
"Brother Gong Qi, your clothes are dirty too. Wash them later! You are about the same height as my brother. I'll go to my brother's closet and find something you can wear." Tang Yi said with a smile.
"You wash first. This little bit of mud on me is nothing. Just wipe it off."
How could Gong Qi have the nerve to wear the host's clothes? He was just a guest, and it was already bad to disturb others, so he didn't want to cause more trouble for others.
