Chapter Seven Becoming a Cook

"Where are you from?" The boss told Gu Lingxi that his name was Qi Fang.

"Boss Qi, have you ever heard of Luohe Village?" Gu Lingxi clenched her fists as she recalled that time.

"Oh? Luohe Village? I've been staying here in Luo City and haven't heard of it yet."

"It doesn't matter, the village is gone now anyway, otherwise, we wouldn't be living here." Now, changing the situation between himself and Tuanzi is the most important thing.

Qi Fang was a little stunned, "The village is gone?"

Gu Lingxi didn't speak. The voice in her mind was always the voice of the bandit leader giving orders.

In just a moment, Gu Lingxi returned to normal. She must make herself stronger. She must avenge this revenge.

"The bandits massacred the village and burned it down. We were lucky enough to escape."

It is not difficult to imagine the hardships and dangers involved, and Qi Fang did not hesitate to ask, "May I ask, miss..." Glancing at the dumplings, Qi Fang changed his words: "May I ask, madam, where did I learn the skill of making noodles? It's really amazing and delicious.

!”

Gu Lingxi answered casually, "Taught me by a noodle maker in the village."

Qi Fang snorted, "I know this is very presumptuous, but I still want to ask, can you be the chef in my store?"

"What?" Gu Lingxi was actually happy in her heart. Wouldn't this solve her livelihood? But she couldn't show it on her face.

"Be the chef of my noodle shop!" Qi Fang looked at her with eyes that made him tremble.

Gu Lingxi found it difficult to act the same way, "It's not impossible..."

"If you have any conditions, Madam, just ask!"

That's easy! Gu Lingxi smiled and said, "I want 50% of the profit of this store. I don't need to pay wages. I just care about what my mother and I eat and drink! Okay?"

"Okay, okay!" It's just an equal share, and I don't lack this little money! "But what is salary?"

Qi Fang still underestimated Gu Lingxi's business acumen, which was the summary of five thousand years of wisdom in modern economic society.

"It's just wages." Gu Lingxi still couldn't get rid of her habit of speaking in modern terms.

In this way, Gu Lingxi temporarily solved her livelihood problem.

Qi Fang was also a sensible boss. He first gave her some scraps of silver and asked her to go out to the street to change into her outfit. This tattered outfit was really not suitable for a cook. The guests would probably leave immediately after seeing it.

As Gu Lingxi took the dumplings to the clothing store, she was still worried about the group of beggars, young and old. Forget it, let's wait until she has some money before looking for them! Gu Lingxi planned.

Along the way, there were people pointing and pointing. When Gu Lingxi came back to her senses, she realized that everyone was looking at her, "Tuanzi, is there something on your mother's face?"

Tuanzi nodded seriously, "Yes! Mother, you have a beautiful face."

"You brat, I'll just take it as a compliment." Gu Lingxi really felt that she was just average. There was nothing they could do if they looked at her like this. She had no choice but to tear off a piece of cloth from the tattered clothes and use it as a face towel to cover her face.

Cover.

"Interesting!" The man was wearing a long green coat, shaking a folding fan with one hand. His face was sunny and handsome, his smile was like a spring breeze, and his eyes were free and easy.

There was some commotion on the street. The two of them looked up and saw the woman in tattered clothes. They just happened to see her covering her face, but could no longer see her face clearly.

"Oh? Where's the fun?" The man on the other side also saw it and asked. Different from the temperament of the man opposite, this man was wearing a black robe. If you look closely, there are patterns sewn with gold thread. His appearance is incredible.

He was even more handsome than the man opposite him, but he had a cold face, an expression that could freeze people to death just by looking at him, like a thousand-year-old ice.

"I saw this woman on the street. She had a child with her. Didn't she look like a beggar? But she didn't feel like a beggar at all. She looked like she was in trouble, so I threw five copper coins at her.

"

"Ouyang Jun, you are really stingy." The man laughed.

Ouyang Jun was also dissatisfied, "You are awesome. If you just throw a gold ingot to her, would she dare to ask for it? Give it like it's charity!"

Gu Lingxi walked with the dumplings, getting closer and closer to the teahouse, and a little bit opposite the teahouse was a cloth shop.

After Gu Lingxi's face was covered, Tuanzi became the center of attention. No one would want to take a second look at the handsome and good-looking child. However, Tuanzi's serious and cold expression made those who looked at it only dare to take a glance.

That's all.

"Look at that kid!" Ouyang Jun suddenly shouted.

The man also moved his gaze to the face of the child opposite him. Even though he was calm, he was a little nervous. That child looked so much like him.

"Doesn't it look similar to you? We grew up playing together. I can guarantee that it is exactly the same as when you were a child!" Ouyang Jun said cracklingly.

At that time, the child's face was covered with dirt as he passed by in a hurry. Now that he had washed it clean, the face revealed really shocked him.

The man still had a cold and calm expression, "Who needs your guarantee anymore?"

Ouyang Jun clicked his tongue, "Even this expression is very similar. Isn't it that you...are the type to go out?"

The man was angry and threw the tea in the cup all over him, "What are you talking about!" No one in the world knew that he was not a womanizer, and even though there were many concubines in his harem, he never stayed overnight with anyone.

Except that year... He seemed to have forced a woman, and when he woke up, the woman was long gone. It was as if nothing had happened, as if he had had a dream, some real dream. The woman

He couldn't remember his face clearly, and he had a gut feeling that he must have been drugged at that time.

When he woke up, he immediately executed the maid who served him in daily life. He was very cautious, but he was still tricked, and if he was drugged, it would only be the one who was close to him, so it was easy to verify.

After that, all the people who served him were replaced by eunuchs, and the maids were assigned to the palaces of various concubines.

Just as she was thinking about it, Gu Lingxi and Tuanzi had already bought clothes. She was wearing a coarse men's clothing, her hair was tied up, and she put a hat with a veil on her head, covering her face.

Tuanzi also changed into clean clothes, which made him more handsome and attractive. In desperation, he also wore a mask. But the eyebrows and eyes that couldn't be covered were still eye-catching.
