Chapter 9 009. If You Can't Talk, I'll Teach You
Chapter 9 009. I can't speak, I will teach you
But today Gu Xiaoxiao didn't leave after finishing her body, but instead sat by the bed and looked at Zhou Zeyun seriously.
Zhou Zeyun's face was covered with Yu's dizziness that had just blushed because of the brush. He also looked at Gu Xiaoxiao deeply. After thinking about it, he thought that he should apologize to Gu Xiaoxiao, at least he had done a lot for them since she changed.
"Sorry..." As soon as Zhou Zeyun spoke, Gu Xiaoyu raised his hand to interrupt him.
"You don't have to apologize to me, you should tell me, why are you doing this today?"
When Zhou Zeyun heard her ask, a sense of frustration surged in her heart, so she lowered her head deeply.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't urge him, but just waited quietly for him to adjust his mood.
After a long time, Zhou Zeyun gritted his teeth and finally spoke. He raised his head, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao seriously, and said seriously: "I should say sorry to you first. After noon... I was not urging you, I was just... blaming myself."
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "What are you blaming?"
"I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, nor can I support this family. Instead, I am the heaviest burden in this family. I can't do anything. I'm still dragging it here and never die... I have implicated you."
Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelids, but she didn't expect Zhou Zeyun to have so many thoughts. But as a result, men in this world pay more attention to face, so how could they allow themselves to live in bed all the time and rely on a woman to manage their family inside and out.
She thought about it and did not rush to say anything. She reached out to press Zhou Zeyun's wrist last time. Her pulse was much stronger than before, and her recovery was quite good.
Zhou Zeyun was surprised by her actions and was stunned for a moment. She had been listening to the children's words before, and she took his pulse and fed him medicine. This was the first time he saw the woman in front of him focusing on her pulse seriously, and he didn't dare to breathe and be afraid of disturbing her.
Then I heard her say, "Don't worry, you can't die! Not only will you not die, but you can even walk, go out and work. If you treat you well, you can do whatever others can do. Don't worry, it's very soon!"
Zhou Zeyun's eyes moved when he heard this, as if he had split a gap in his dim heart and penetrated a little fluorescent light, giving him the courage to look forward to the future.
"Really?" He stared at Gu Xiaoxiao carefully, trying to confirm the answer in her eyes, for fear that this was just a lie that Gu Xiaoxiao lied to him to comfort him.
But in an instant, he found the answer he wanted in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes full of affirmation, and his eyes suddenly felt a little warm.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the man's beautiful face with a better complexion and said softly: "Well. So... you can't continue to be negative, and the boys will feel uncomfortable when they see him!... What's more, don't forget that I am their stepmother! Do your biological father want to leave them and let me raise me a stepmother? I tell you that there is no way, I am not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses! These kids cannot be without you, your father!"
Zhou Zeyun stared at the woman in front of him. Before he knew it, she seemed to have become thinner and had a better skin. Although her face was still fleshy, she was quite cute, especially the expression of speaking seriously at this time, which made him feel very beautiful and gentle.
He seemed to have tens of millions of words in his heart, but he couldn't even say it. After a long time, he finally said a lot to Gu Xiaoxiao, "Thank you!"
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him and smiled in response. Then she took out two more pieces of paper, one for a hundred taels of silver notes and the other for the deed of the house.
Zhou Zeyun was surprised to see the thing. He went to bed in the afternoon, so he didn't know that Zhou's mother had been here.
"Where did you get these?"
"Well... I snatched it!" She was telling the truth.
Then she told him what happened in the afternoon. Of course, she just briefly expressed the part that was too serious.
"Just treat it as... to compensate you!"
After hearing this, Zhou Zeyun's brows frowned deeply. Gu Xiaoxiao thought he was dissatisfied with his mother like this, but Zhou Zeyun's words warmed her heart.
Zhou Zeyun said: "Are you injured?"
She was stunned for a moment, "Then...that's not. You... don't blame me?"
He chuckled, "What's wrong with you? You blame you for taking care of us so well? You blame you for not abandoning us in the most difficult times? Or you blame you for doing your best to ask for these compensations for me?"
After pausing, he said again: "I don't need compensation, but since she has 'gived', we will keep it!... Gu Xiaoxiao, I sincerely thank you and not leave me and the children behind. My family is only you and the children now!"
When Gu Xiaoxiao heard this, she suddenly felt like she had a flirting with a innocent boy but was entangled. She just wanted to appreciate him more when she saw him looking good!
However, her heart was still relaxed for a moment, and she herself didn't realize that her heart was very warm at this moment.
"Uh...that's all..." She tried to change the subject in embarrassment.
"You keep it, I believe in you." Zhou Zeyun said seriously.
But Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore. Such a beautiful person said such serious words, and she really thought her heart was a stubborn one!
I had to say "get off early" and then fled back to the west room.
...
The days that followed were still like this, but Gu Xiaoxiao was pestered by Erbao in the morning to accompany them to practice boxing and martial arts. He went to the afternoon when he went hunting. He said that the harvest was not much, but there was nothing special. He accidentally hunted a wild boar again. This time she didn't use it for money. She made Chinese cuisine at home, using wild boar meat. The boys used wild boar meat from the beginning when they saw the wild boar's eyes glowing, and later they were tired of eating meat. This is not her fault, who made the wild boar grow too big and couldn't finish it! Next time, I'd better sell it!
A week passed soon, and Zhou Zeyun's body was suppressed by her medicine, and his sleep time returned to normal. He gradually tried to get out of bed and walk around. Although he would get angry over time, this also made him very excited. Those who walked through the gates of hell will cherish the second life given by God!
The atmosphere between Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Zeyun became a little different because of what happened that night, but only Gu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed. Zhou Zeyun still had a weak face, but there was no repulsion for Gu Xiaoxiao in his heart, perhaps because she brought him the greatest hope!
And that day, it was time for Gu Xiaoxiao to go to Shiweixuan to meet her boss. She was not in a hurry. She slowly carried a basket on her back and walked towards the town after lunch.
I didn't feel tired when I looked at the scenery along the way. After an hour, she arrived in the town and went straight to Shiweixuan without wasting time.
Manager Wang was waiting anxiously at the door. When he saw Gu Xiaoxiao's figure, he felt relieved and felt a little relieved.
Then he went up and said, "Oh, I said, Madam Gu, why did you come? Our boss has arrived long ago! If you don't come, they will leave!"
As expected, Gu Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Aren't I here? Stop talking nonsense, lead the way!"
Manager Wang was still smiling, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was him talking nonsense! Mrs. Gu was coming early to discuss business, but she was here now! She knew that the boss had been impatient for a long time and had already scolded him to the point of being bloody!
But he couldn't say this, and the scene of Gu Xiaoxiao holding a pig in one hand appeared in his mind. He couldn't afford to offend this lady Gu! He couldn't afford to offend his boss either! He was simply... Alas! He didn't say anything! A tear of bitterness!
I had to quickly take Gu Xiaoxiao to the upper room to meet my boss. The boss was still angry, so Mrs. Gu would do it!
While climbing the stairs, Gu Xiaoxiao heard a man's rude yelling from the kitchen beside him, "What's wrong with you?! Are you the chef or I am the chef? Don't care about the matters you shouldn't care about!" She frowned and looked over, and saw two people with completely different expressions through the gap in the door curtain.
Another man was humble and said timidly: "But... but this batch of mushrooms has passed the consumption period, and they have all... been spoiled, and some have even had a fishy and sour smell. Such... cannot be put together with the ingredients to be eaten by the guests!"
"Tsk! It's okay, I can't kill you! If you nag here, don't blame me for being rude!... If you don't hurry up and do what you should do, otherwise I will tell the shopkeeper that you will deduct your moon silver!"
In the end, the little chef failed to resist the chef's tyranny and was defeated.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were cold, and she thought of the embarrassment that Manager Wang showed when she mentioned the taste of the dishes before. She felt a little clear in her heart. She seemed to be a relative in the workplace! She had such a arrogant attitude! She didn't say anything but thought in her heart. Then she followed Manager Wang to continue walking upstairs.
When he arrived at the door of the wing, Manager Wang knocked on it twice first, and then heard the servant inside say "enter", and then slowly pushed open the mahogany door.
Gu Xiaoxiao opened the door bit by bit and saw the "headmaster" mentioned by Manager Wang, wearing a ice silk brocade suit and a mutton fat and jade hair crown. A close-fitting servant next to him, the servant who made a sound just now was also the one who made a sound.
At this time, the boss was sitting in the main seat with anger, holding a plain paper fan, slapping it hard and quickly, as if this could eliminate the anger in his heart.
This is really a rich young man! It’s good to have money! Gu Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart.
Then she looked at the man again, Xiuya's face. She looked okay, but unfortunately she was not as beautiful as her little husband! I wonder what Zhou Zeyun would look like in such a outfit? She imagined it in her mind and laughed unconsciously. It should be amazing!
The "join" Xiao Mu saw the woman who followed Manager Wang in. She was a little fat, and she looked like a village woman. After coming in, she was still smiling at herself. It was this woman who wanted to negotiate a deal with him? Why did he not believe it? Not only was he in a bad mood, but he also made him wait for so long! Didn't he see him already angry? She could even laugh!
He got even more angry now, and got up and yelled at Manager Wang: "Boss Wang! Do you know how precious my time is! This is the person you want me to meet?! Call a fool to see me?! Are you treating me as a fool?!!!”
Manager Wang was helpless and timidly responded to "yes", burying his head deeply in front of his chest, then realized it later, and simply stopped talking and became mute.
Gu Xiaoxiao, who came to her senses, had a deep face when she heard Xiao Mu's words. She was indeed distracted, but this boss's words were too ugly! Can you bear it? Anyway, Gu Xiaoxiao can't bear it!
Then she walked forward with cold eyes and sat directly opposite Xiao Mu. There was a round table made of mahogany between her and him.
I saw her put her hands on the table and shouting, "Can you speak? I will teach you if you can't speak! Who are you calling a fool?! Your family members let you bark casually? Can you pay attention to your image when you go out?! You are so uneducated and useless to waste your silk and satin!"
Xiao Mu was so angry that he supported the table with one hand, covered his undulating chest with the other, and breathed in big mouthfuls.
When the servant beside him heard someone say this, he immediately stepped forward and shouted, "You peasant wife are so arrogant. You are really not very good at coming from the countryside. Do you know who my young master is?!"
"I know, the owner of Shiweixuan. So what's going on! Besides, what's wrong with the peasant woman? We peasant woman lives diligently and steadily, and it's your turn to criticize me? Are you qualified? If you just went out and said this on the street, you would have to be drowned! Most of the people in this town came from the countryside. Do you dare to go out and say it? You don't dare! You just think that I am alone and shouted in front of me! My peasant woman at least makes money with her own hands. What do you have to look down on you!"
Gu Xiaoxiao is not a woman who swallows her anger in this world. She can't even think about it! If this deal doesn't work, she can still find someone else. Anyway, if you get her food, it will be a huge benefit!
Xiao Mu was also calmer at this time, and then sat down. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Miss Gu, right? Didn't you make money with both hands? I want to see what you have! Before, you asked Manager Wang to pass on a message and say that he wanted to make a deal with me? If you still asked him to make a 40% profit? Then let's make a bet. If your food is as you said, I will give you 50% profit, but if it doesn't meet the standards of my restaurant, you will have to bear the consequences for your words just now!" At the end of his speech, he stretched out his finger and pointed the round table in front of him with a gloomy eyes.
Gu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, you're sure to lose!" She was extremely confident.
Soon all the ingredients were moved to this small room, with meat, vegetables and seasonings. Manager Wang asked softly: "I wonder what dish Mrs. Gu wants to cook?"
Gu Xiaoxiao looked down at the ingredients in front of her. When she saw that there were obviously a few sticky and shrinking mushrooms on the plate. Thinking of the conversation she had heard before, her eyes sank. Then she pretended to be nothing, looked at the chicken breast and eggs on the other side. She thought of a dish, smiled slightly, washed her hands and started.
First slice the onion, ginger and garlic, then cut the chicken breast into small squares one centimeter wide, beat an egg, add a small amount of pepper, cook wine and flour and marinate.
Then cook oil over high heat, add the marinated diced meat when it is 70% hot, stir-fry it. When the meat turns white and ripe, put it in a set order.
Continue to heat the oil on high heat for 70% hot, add chili, bean paste, green onion, ginger and garlic slices and stir-fry, then add salt, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce, add diced chicken breasts over high heat and continue stir-frying.
Finally, sprinkle some peanuts and turn them evenly to the pot. This way, a dish of Kung Pao chicken is ready!
In the end of the world, this is a traditional dish that is famous both at home and abroad, and it is also included as a palace dish. Chicken is the main one, supplemented by seasonings, red but not spicy, spicy but not fierce, spicy but not fierce, spicy and spicy, and smooth and crispy meat.
Suddenly, the aroma was everywhere, and the sauce wrapped around every diced meat, which was golden and translucent, which made everyone present salivate.
Gu Xiaoxiao placed the dish heavily in front of Xiao Mu, mocking the unrestrained desire in his eyes, "Try it!" she sneered.
Xiao Mu looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, slowly picked up the wooden chopsticks, picked up a small piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.
He is worthy of being a rich man, and his behavior is elegant. He was also too angry before, so he was a little impulsive. Now he has returned to normal.
When the diced meat enters the mouth and the tip of the tongue touches it, the taste buds are sublimated. The teeth are chewing, and the gravy is flowing into the throat, accompanied by a little spicy.
He quickly picked up a piece and ate it. The tenderness of the chicken and the fragrance of peanuts, the ultimate tug taste is just a thoughtful combination, which has refreshed his views over the years. There is such a shocking taste bud in the world!
I looked up at Gu Xiaoxiao again. All the bad feelings for her before disappeared, and replaced by surprise and admiration.
When he tasted the first bite, he knew that this dish, as Gu Xiaoxiao said before, would increase his income from the food and taste Xuan exponentially, and the 40% benefit she wanted was indeed worth it. After all, he was here to come today!
But... can his people learn it?
Gu Xiaoxiao kept paying attention to his expression. Seeing that he frowned slightly, he knew his concerns, and then said, "Don't worry, since I did it, I can guarantee that the person who will teach you. This is not very difficult, but what is important is your character! You can see from you and your servant that it is not very good!" He did not forget to squeeze him out again.
Gu Xiaoxiao relieved his concerns, and Xiao Mu had no hesitation anymore. When he was in Shangyan, since he saw Gu Xiaoxiao's value, he would not care about the hidden stings she had in her words.
His Xiao family has now opened a Shiweixuan in most counties and towns in the city, so he must be able to do it. In fact, it was Xiao Mu who managed it. He followed his father to do business a long time ago, and now he has the majority of the Xiao family's industries. Therefore, he takes those who can bring benefits to his family's industries seriously.
He then stood up again, but this time he respectfully bowed to Gu Xiaoxiao, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I can't treat you with Xiao Mu. I hope Mrs. Gu is not to worry about you. Xiao will definitely do what he promised to do!"
Gu Xiaoxiao stood there and accepted his apology, but only accepted his apology. "I have scolded you for being rude before. Even if we are equal, I don't want 50% of the profit. I'll just follow the 40% of the profit I said. I just want you to know when you bet with you before. Don't look down on people." She sneered.
Xiao Mu's face changed. This woman definitely did it on purpose! He said that he looked down on others, but he just called him a dog! Really, who can't provoke women, is it too vengeful!
