Chapter 255 is exposed?
Gu Lianshan was still not satisfied, but because of his third uncle's gaze, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Stay for a meal. Although we don't have any delicacies at home, we still have chicken, duck, fish and meat."
Ah Gou nodded in agreement: "Chicken, duck, fish and meat are already hard to come by."
Hearing this, Gu Lianshan raised his eyebrows. He thought the other person would politely decline, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily.
Fine, since he is so straightforward, he will treat him well.
After calling Gu Ping'an, the father and son left the house one after another.
As soon as they got outside, the father and son saw Gu Tang coming out from the west wing.
The things sent by Agou were placed in the west wing. Gu Lianshan watched his daughter come out of the west wing without any concealment, and his eyelids twitched a few times.
He subconsciously looked back at the main hall, then walked quickly to Gu Tang with a nervous look on his face.
"The guests haven't left yet! At least wait until they leave before going in to take a look!"
"I just went in to take a look, and I didn't touch anything. Why are you so anxious?"
Gu Tang went into the house to look at the things in the backpack.
There are twenty backpacks, just swap one or two of them.
She picked out two backpacks and took out some of the things inside. She put three hundred taels of silver in one backpack, so two backpacks put six hundred taels in total!
The first time Agou comes to your house, just give him six hundred taels. When he comes again in the future, give him a little bit each time, and it will last for a long time.
"Dad is going to cook, you go to the main room and show your face. After all, they are here for you, so you have to go and take a look."
The people in Bei'an City are quite tough, and there is no saying that girls cannot meet men outside their family. Gu Lianshan would not restrain Gu Tang. He waved at her and motioned her to go to the main room.
Without Gu Lianshan, the atmosphere in the main hall became much more relaxed.
My third uncle was a very sensible person. He thought that he would not have any dealings with such a wealthy family in the future. After seeing them off after dinner, he guessed that they would never meet again.
Compared to Gu Lianshan's inquiring questions, Third Uncle didn't ask a single question. He just invited people to have tea and casually chatted about the customs and habits of the Bei'an City area.
When Gu Tang came in, the two of them had just started talking about the various Taoist temples on the hills outside the city, saying that they were great places to enjoy spring.
Seeing Gu Tang coming in, Agou, who had been nervous, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s finally here!
He stood up and subconsciously bowed to Gu Tang: "Miss, how are you?"
Gu Tang: ...What's with that relieved look?
"Thank you for your courtesy, sir." Gu Tang returned the greeting and then secretly glared at him!
Wait! We'll settle the score later!
Agou was a little confused by the look and was completely confused.
Thinking carefully about what happened before and after, he felt that everything was fine and there was nothing wrong.
But why did he offend people again?
After returning the greeting, Gu Tang ignored him and walked to stand beside his uncle. He said, "I'm going to the kitchen to replace my father. We have guests today. Let my father talk to them..."
“No, no!”
Before Third Uncle could speak, Agou suddenly started yelling with a nervous look on his face.
He waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that Gu Lianshan didn't need to come over. "I'm here to thank the young lady. Why would I bother Master Gu to talk to me? I can stay in the room by myself. Don't bother."
Gu Tang glared at him. What was wrong with him?
Didn't we agree before that we must behave well in front of her father and try to have more frequent contact between us so that we don't have to be sneaky when we meet in the future?
But what is the situation now?
She just said she wanted her dad to come over, and this guy refused?!
Facing Gu Tang's gaze, Agou's face was full of grievance.
He knew he shouldn't refuse, but his master's father was so terrible!
The questions asked were ones he had never encountered before, so he had to think carefully about each question and make sure they were consistent to avoid being exposed.
This... is really, really exhausting!
Noticing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Third Uncle coughed lightly and looked very uncomfortable.
Ah Gou was still there, so he didn't want to tell Gu Tang about Gu Lianshan's performance just now. He just said, "Your father is a good cook. We have an important guest coming today, so let your father cook."
No, there must be something going on here.
Gu Tang glanced at his third uncle and then glanced at Agou, thinking that their reactions were strange.
She was moved, but smiled calmly and said, "Indeed, my father's cooking skills are impeccable! I'll go to the kitchen to help out, and I'll leave this distinguished guest to you. Please keep us company while we chat and have tea."
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle understood that this girl was cunning and must have noticed something and wanted to go to the kitchen to trick her father.
The old man waved his hands helplessly: "Go ahead, you... take it easy."
"Oh!" Gu Tang responded with a smile, his voice clear and crisp.
When I was walking out of the house, I happened to pass by Agou.
Gu Tang glanced at him again, the anger in his eyes was very obvious.
Agou is so wronged!
He really didn't do anything!
Seeing Gu Tang reaching out to lift the curtain, he couldn't help but call out to him, "Well...how about I go to the kitchen to cook and ask your father to come to the main room to have tea and talk?"
This time it should be right, right?
As soon as Agou said this, the room suddenly became silent.
Third Uncle looked at him in bewilderment. Was he deliberately trying to embarrass the master? Or was he just saying it carelessly?
Gu Tang didn't care whether he meant it or not. He took a deep breath, his face slightly grim. "Okay! Since you are so sincere, I'll leave this meal to you!"
She opened the curtain, revealing a space large enough for one person to enter and exit. With a forced smile, she invited Ah Gou to leave: "Please go ahead. The kitchen at home is in the east wing."
Agou paused, this reaction didn't seem right...
"What are you standing there for? Do you regret it?" Gu Tang's face turned cold.
"No, no! I'll go right away, right away..." Agou waved his hands repeatedly and hurried out of the house and walked towards the east ear room.
The third uncle, who watched the whole scene, turned green in the face!
"What's wrong with you? How can you let guests cook in the kitchen by themselves?!"
"What's the big deal? This is how my grandma used to order relatives around when we had guests over in previous years."
Third Uncle: ...His second sister-in-law is such a piece of shit! Look at her! She's even led the child astray!
"What your grandma did was wrong. We can't follow her example!"
Standing up and taking his cane, Third Uncle went to the kitchen with an anxious look on his face: "We have to invite him back. He's the son of a wealthy family! Not to mention cooking, I'm afraid he's never even stepped into the kitchen!"
Gu Tang: ...Not really. He is a fake. He used to be a beggar.
Watching the old man walking anxiously towards the kitchen, Gu Tang patted his forehead and sighed.
All the previous discussions were bullshit!
The current situation is on the verge of collapse and is out of control!
Gu Lianshan was chopping a leg of lamb in the house. When he had almost finished chopping the leg, he caught a glimpse of a person standing at the kitchen door.
Turning around, it was Mr. Gu.
He quickly put down his knife and went out to greet him: "Master Gu, why are you here? The kitchen is filled with smoke, it's not a good place to be. It's better to go back to the house..."
"I'm here to take your cooking place," Ah Gou interrupted. "You're the elder, and I'm the younger. How can I let you cook? This job should be done by me!"
As he spoke, he reached out and untied the apron wrapped around Gu Lianshan's waist, then wrapped it around himself very naturally, then rolled up his sleeves, walked around Gu Lianshan and went into the kitchen.
This series of actions was so fast that people couldn't react.
When the Third Uncle arrived, he looked at his stunned son and asked, "What are you doing standing there? Where's Master Gu?"
Gu Lianshan finally came to his senses, with an extremely strange look on his face. He said, "He went into the kitchen and said he wanted to take my place as the cook! This guy..."
He pointed to his head and asked quietly, "Is there something wrong?"
Third Uncle glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry and invite the person out!"
Pushing Gu Lianshan away, Third Uncle walked into the kitchen with a forgiving smile on his face.
He originally wanted to apologize and persuade the person to go back, but as soon as he arrived in the kitchen, he froze.
Agou was dressed in silk and satin, with a patched apron around his waist and his sleeves rolled up high. He held the knife in his right hand and the lamb leg in his left hand. With a few chops, he finished chopping the lamb leg.
After chopping the lamb leg, I saw a chicken next to it, so I took it and chopped it together.
There is also fish. Take it and use a knife to make a few cuts on the fish to make it easier to season.
There was still a piece of pork in the vegetable basket, but Agou didn't touch it.
Gu Tang didn't like the pork here, he always remembered it.
Turning his head to look at Third Uncle, Ah Gou asked, "How about three meat dishes? A mutton soup, stir-fried chicken with dogwood, and a fried fish. As for the vegetarian dishes, what do you want? I can make them all."
Third Uncle: ...
Gu Lianshan at the door: ...
Gu Pingan, who was lighting the fire: ...
Gu Tang who followed over: ...
Be good!
Who said that the sons and daughters of wealthy families live a life of luxury?!
Look! Look!
Apart from anything else, just the skill in chopping meat would take years of practice to master!
"What are you still standing there for? Take over! Cooking is your job, how can you let the guests do it?"
Third Uncle turned around and glanced at Gu Lianshan, signaling him to step forward and take over!
This... is really outrageous!
After scolding Gu Lianshan, Third Uncle bowed to Agou with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm so sorry..."
"What are you doing, old man?" Ah Gou was startled and hurriedly helped the man up. "You are the elder, and I am the junior. I dare not accept your courtesy!"
Elders? Juniors?
Third Uncle froze again. Who was the elder? Who was the younger? Why did this sound wrong?
"Mr. Gu, let me do it. You are the guest, and you never let guests cook for themselves."
Gu Lianshan took the knife from his hand, casually glanced at the meat he had chopped, raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously began to praise him.
"Of course! Master Gu! You have excellent knife skills! Look at how you chopped the lamb leg and chicken, each piece is almost the same size! A rich young man like you is also trying to learn how to cook?"
Ah Gou smiled shyly and said, "I like the work in the kitchen, so I learned a little bit. I am sorry to show off my skills today."
"How can this skill be considered a mere show of shame? I'm much better than this!"
"I dare not, I dare not, Master Gu's craftsmanship is also excellent."
"That's right! I wouldn't brag about anything else, but my cooking skills are number one! All the girls and boys at home love the food I cook!"
"Master Gu has really worked hard and made great contributions!"
…
Watching the two of them praising each other back and forth, Third Uncle felt dizzy!
This cheap son is really a cause for concern!
"Don't be angry." Gu Tang came behind the old man and comforted him quietly.
"Look, this guy isn't angry at all; on the contrary, he's cheerful. You can tell at a glance that he loves his work in the kitchen!
Maybe when he was at home, he couldn't enter the kitchen because his family was around, so he came to us today and took over the kitchen work."
is that so?
Third uncle looked suspicious.
Gu Tang nodded firmly, that's it!
Although she was talking nonsense, she believed that Agou must have heard what she had just said and would definitely help her cover up the lie.
Gu Tang guessed correctly. Agou did hear what she said, and he was very tactful and helped her to clear up the misunderstanding.
Turning to face Third Uncle, Ah Gou bowed deeply and said, "To be honest, I don't like anything else but the work in the kitchen.
It’s just that I usually don’t go into the kitchen at home, but today, I couldn’t help myself and was so abrupt. I didn’t expect to startle you, old man. It was really rude…”
Hearing this, Third Uncle subconsciously glanced at Gu Tang.
Gu Tang spread his hands and said, "Look, she just said it, this person is willing to do it!"
Third Uncle's eyebrows were twitching. Although Agou explained it himself, for some reason, he still felt weird.
"Master, let's go back to the main room and warm ourselves by the fire. Since...Mr. Gu likes to cook, let's not disturb him here. Let him discuss the cooking with my father, and we can just wait and eat."
"Yes, yes, yes! The girl is right! Master Gu and I are here, so you two can just go back to the room and wait for dinner!"
It was a rare opportunity to meet a man who also loved cooking. Gu Lianshan's mind was now full of exchanging cooking skills, and he completely forgot everything his third uncle had told him before.
Third Uncle couldn't do anything about him, and was dragged outside by Gu Tang, so he had no choice but to do as they wished.
But after returning to the main hall, Third Uncle looked serious and didn't say a word.
"Master? Are you angry?" Gu Tang looked at the man cautiously.
"That's not the case. I just feel that... there's something wrong with this Mr. Gu!"
Gu Tang's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
Although the situation has gone astray and cannot be reversed, Agou's identity as a rich young man should be able to stand.
After all, they gave so many things, most people would not be willing to give them away.
Unfortunately, what Third Uncle doubted was his identity as a "rich and noble young man".
"This guy... whether it's his speech and behavior or his... skill in chopping meat, he doesn't look like a young man from a wealthy family at all."
ah?
Got exposed?
Gu Tang blinked and said calmly: "Please tell me in detail."
"There's not a trace of arrogance in his eyes and brows. Instead, his words and actions are very humble, with a hint of... flattery!"
Ouch! The old man has a sharp eye!
Gu Tang was a little overwhelmed and started to talk nonsense: "I said last time that this person is very honest, without any tricks, and does not have the temperament of a rich young man.
Plus, I saved his life, so it's not surprising that he reacted this way when facing his savior, as a sincere man like him."
