Chapter 83 The Mysterious Goose Delivery Man
In ancient times, there was no concept of virus carriers. People only believed that those who looked sick were patients, and those who were energetic were normal people.
As long as the guys at Zuixianlou are in high spirits during this period, these gossips will eventually fade away.
Besides, Gu Feixue knew that Zhen Liu did not die of plague, but had been poisoned on the way to Zuixianlou that day.
Gu Feixue's words really gave Bao Hongcai some hope. He immediately calmed down and asked:
"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Gu. But what did you just say about the delivery?"
Gu Feixue just smiled and said:
"Nothing, I just feel that the Gu family produces a lot of milk every day now, so it's a bit inappropriate to send a guy to pick it up."
Originally, the Gu family had very little leftover milk to send to Zuixianlou. Now they have to deliver several loads of fresh milk every day, and there is only one waiter who has to drive the carriage. How can he worry about the milk in the carriage?
Besides, after what happened with Zhen Liu, Gu Feixue still felt that it would be safer for two people to deliver the goods.
Bao Hongcai said without any hesitation:
"Okay, from now on the restaurant will arrange two people to deliver the goods."
Seeing Bao Hongcai's straightforwardness, Gu Feixue took a sip of tea, then thought of something and asked calmly:
"By the way, boss, please tell me, who did you ask to deliver the goods during the days when Zhen Liu disappeared?"
From the fact that Zhang Erdan didn't know where to park the carriage this morning, it can be seen that this was the first time he was delivering goods today.
"These past few days, the restaurant's waiter, Wu Zhuang, has been helping with the deliveries. He's quite strong and can easily move the goods. Why are you asking this, Miss Gu? Did Wu Zhuang make a mistake while delivering the goods?"
Gu Feixue smiled and shook her head:
"Nothing else. Today, seeing that Zhang Erdan wasn't very familiar with the Gu Family Farm, I guessed that it wasn't him who sent it before."
Bao Hongcai nodded when he heard this, and then thought of something and said:
"Although Zhang Erdan isn't as strong as Wu Zhuang, he's smart, hardworking, and a good social person. Knowing that Wu Zhuang has to both wait on the table and deliver the goods, he volunteered to help."
Gu Feixue drank a sip of tea and then said:
"How about this, from now on, let Zhang Erdan and Wu Zhuang deliver the shopkeepers together, and the extra wages will be paid by our Gu family."
Upon hearing this, Bao Hongcai pretended to be unhappy and said:
"Miss Gu, if you have any requests, just tell me. Old Bao can definitely do it without hesitation. Asking for money seems awkward."
Gu Feixue felt a little helpless, thinking that it was rare for her to want to save money for others, but the guy was not happy about it.
So she could only obey and after drinking the milk tea that Bao Hongcai warmly welcomed her, she returned to the Gu family.
A lot of things happened that day, and it was already noon when we returned to Anju Village.
When Gu Feixue saw Wang standing in the yard with a look of anticipation at the door, she felt warm in her heart, but of course she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"Mom, I'm back."
When Wang saw Gu Feixue returned home safely, she scolded him:
"Xue'er, why do you always go out alone without saying hello to your family?"
Feeling guilty, he couldn't help but flatteringly said:
"Mom, I'm back. It was an emergency."
Seeing Wang's puzzled expression, Gu Feixue told her what had happened in the city today.
Of course, she discovered the truth about Zhen Liu's death, but she didn't tell Shan Lin about her conversation with Rong Xing.
Wang Shi showed regret after hearing this: "What a pity! Zhen Liuduo is such a good child, how could he be infected with the plague?" After saying this, she sighed and said:
"Natural disasters are inevitable. Poor his mother, she's all alone and helpless."
Gu Feixue nodded, but felt cold in her heart.
Natural disasters are inevitable, but man-made disasters are even more difficult to prevent than natural disasters.
Then Wang seemed to have made up her mind and said:
"Our farm is still in need of a farmhand to feed the cattle. Why don't we let Zhen Liu's mother do it?"
The Gu family is not short of people.
Although there is no one specifically responsible for feeding cows, feeding cows is not considered heavy work and is usually done by milkers. Now Wang's intention is obviously to help Sun.
Adding one more person was not a big deal. When Zhen Liu helped the Gu family deliver goods before, he had a good relationship with the Gu family. So Gu Feixue nodded and agreed to this matter, and said that he would talk to her when he went to the city to visit Sun the next day.
In the evening, Wang told the rest of the Gu family about this matter, and everyone in the Gu family sighed for Zhen Liu's untimely death.
After dinner, Gu Feixue was practicing martial arts in the yard, but she didn't expect that some unexpected guests came to the Gu family.
"These were sent to the Gu family by the prefect. Come here and identify them. If you find them correct, please sign your names on them."
Gu Feixue looked at the big white geese with listless expressions packed in a large wooden box in front of her, with surprise in her eyes.
After taking the letter from the escort agency, Gu Feixue found that the handwriting was not from the prefect, but from another person whom she had not seen for a long time. She was even more confused.
It turned out to be Yuchi Shuo. Why did he send so many big white geese to the Gu family in the name of Prefect Liang?
Knowing who sent the gift, Gu Feixue immediately pressed her fingerprint on the paper handed to her by the escort agency.
She didn't expect that in this era there was a method similar to signing for express delivery. She had never heard of it.
After the people from the escort agency left, many villagers came to the door of the Gu family to watch the fun. They all looked at the big box of big white geese in the Gu family yard with surprise.
"These are geese, right? No one in the city has been selling geese for a long time since the disaster. Xue'er, who sent so many big white geese to your family?"
In this day and age, goose meat is not as readily available as chicken and duck.
Ordinary people have enough to eat by raising chickens and ducks, and only wealthy people who are on a diet often eat goose meat. But even so, not many people raise geese. After all, geese are slower to be marketed than chickens and ducks.
Not to mention the disaster in Liangcheng at that time, many farmers exchanged their poultry for food or ate them, so that since the disaster, it is rare to see people selling geese in the market.
Now everyone saw that someone had sent so many big white geese to the Gu family, and naturally they were all surprised.
"I don't know, maybe my parents bought it outside." Gu Feixue laughed and said.
Wang and Gu Lang went to the village to discuss recruiting workers with the village chief. After the villagers left, Gu Feixue wanted to send these big white geese to the dairy farm.
Then there was a slight noise coming from the gate of the Gu family. Gu Feixue heard it with her sharp ears. Before Gu Lang and Wang came back, she looked up and saw a carrier pigeon standing on the gate.
"What is this? Yuchi Shuo's carrier pigeon?"
She had seen Yuchi Shuo's carrier pigeons before at the prefect's villa. Judging from the breed, they should be of the same species.
"Coo coo" the carrier pigeon called twice to Gu Feixue. Gu Feixue looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she walked forward and took something from the pigeon's claws.
After taking the note out of the scroll, Gu Feixue saw that it was the letter from Yuchi Shuo to her.
"Okay, I received the letter, you can go back."
Since it was getting dark, Gu Feixue prepared to go into the house to light the oil lamp and take a look.
But unexpectedly, the carrier pigeon not only did not leave, but also followed.
Gu Feixue curled the corners of her mouth, and it seemed that he wanted her to write a letter.
"You're leaving only because I wrote you a letter?"
