Since Yanwu is going to seduce the master of the Gu family and become the concubine of the Gu family, she naturally needs to inquire about the Gu family first. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible in a hundred battles. However, her reputation as a smokey and barren girl was already smelly in the town. She did not dare to go to the town openly, so she discussed with yuan about how to do it.
Yuan immediately thought of a Cai who had helped her.
But he said that the last time Yanwu was caught by scholar Ji Ge and a CAI, a CAI didn't come forward. All the things explained to the Chen family were done by scholar Ji Ge. A CAI just tied people up and looked at Yanwu when scholar Ji Ge went to the Chen family. Therefore, yuan did not know that a CAI had cheated them with scholar Ji Ge.
Yanwu was kidnapped all the way, and I didn't know a CAI was involved in it. As for the fact that she once stole the Lin family's property, ah CAI was a witness to refute her. She had long forgotten.
Yanwu could only hear from Yuan that a CAI was a reliable person and didn't think much. Even when she met, she thought the man looked familiar, but she didn't think about where she had seen the man's face because she was anxious to find out the news.
Ah Cai saw that Yanwu came to inquire about the family affairs in the town. He was cold in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face:
"Why do you want to inquire about your family?"
Ah Cai stood up while spitting out the weed roots in his mouth.
Yanwu looked up at him and couldn't help taking a few steps back to offset the suppression brought by a CAI's height.
"You just tell me about taking care of my family. You don't have to care about anything else."
Ah Cai sneered at her arrogance when she came to ask for help:
"Do you know my rules?"
"What rules?"
Yanwu subconsciously felt bad, but he did not flinch.
"You don't think you can get news from me just by chatting with me?" ah Cai trapped Yanwu between his arms and leaned against the wall. "You have to pay a lot for every word you get from me."
Yanwu endured his movements and asked in a deep voice:
"What price do you want?"
"How much do you offer, and I'll give you information about the price." ah Cai raised his eyebrows.
"Do you have to ask for silver?" Yanwu asked reluctantly.
The Chen family is about to spend all their savings in order to pay back the medicine expenses. If she is asked to take out the money again, she will refuse!
"Miss Chen's body has been played a little rotten? How about adding me?" ah Cai said frivolously.
For men, the most attractive is money and women. If the woman in front of her has no money and pays her debts with herself, ah Cai is also willing. Although he disliked Yanwu somewhat in his heart, he had been played by several people.
"I'm not accepted by any cat or dog." Yanwu gritted his teeth and asked, "our Chen family has some difficulties recently..."
"Don't tell me what's useless." ah Cai impatiently took out his ears and frowned at Yanwu. "Who's not difficult these days? I can only dig wild vegetables in the mountains recently. So don't come to me and tell me that you're poor. You don't give money or get out!"
Yanwu angrily took out a little broken silver and stuffed it into a CAI's hand:
"Is this enough? It's just family news, not secrets from the palace aristocrats. How much money will it cost?"
Ah Cai saw the silver in his hand, so he forced the smoke to wither. He stood around his chest and told the general news of taking care of his family.
Yanwu waited for a while. Seeing ah Cai's expression of "having finished", he was dissatisfied:
"I gave you two liang of silver. What can you tell me? Just ask someone and you'll know! You're biting me."
A CAI actually didn't expect to make a fortune with a few words, but seeing that Yanwu was so easy to cheat, he also felt that it was not good to bully a girl, so he said:
"OK, I'll add another secret message." ah Cai lowered his voice, looked very cautious, and said, "I heard that there will be a cooking competition in the town soon. Master Gu, as the investor, must be a referee. If you want to see him, you'd better seize the opportunity."
Ah Cai said that, but he no longer paid attention to the smoke and turned and left.
After hearing the news, Yanwu immediately thought of the countermeasures to seduce master Gu. When she recovered, ah Cai had already left. She couldn't help being angry and felt that her silver flowers were not real.
But she was anxious to discuss the cooking contest with Yuan Shi, so she didn't pester ah Cai anymore, but hurried home.
Chen family.
Yuan came back from the field and was preparing to cook. As soon as she washed her hands, she saw Yanwu rush in, took her hand and said that there was a cooking contest in the town.
She knew that Yanwu could not cook, so she was surprised and said:
"You can't cook. How can you participate in the cooking competition?"
"I heard from ah Cai that master Gu is coming to be the referee in this cooking competition. I want to attract his attention in the competition. What really matters is face, not cooking."
Yanwu touched his face confidently and said:
"Since I'm more beautiful, I won't be worse than them."
Yuan did not think so. She asked:
"No matter how beautiful you look, you can't get on the table if you don't pass the cooking."
Yanwu frowned at yuan and asked:
"I'm just trying to attract Mr. Gu's attention, but I'm not really going to win any awards."
Yuan also suddenly realized that he was confused.
When she heard about the cooking contest, she subconsciously wanted to win the championship. But since their goal is not to win the championship, why do they have to make their cooking a blockbuster?
They confirmed the ultimate goal, and Yanwu and Yuan thought about how to dress up.
He was so excited that Yuan forgot to prepare dinner.
When Chen Jin came back, he couldn't help getting angry when he saw that they didn't prepare dinner.
While yuan was busy cooking, he thought: if Yanwu could take care of her family in the future, they would hire a cook who specializes in cooking, so as to save Chen Jin from calling her every night.
in town.
The cooking contest was gossip, but it hasn't spread in the town. Muyun doesn't know about it.
She was removed from the qualification of being a spoon by the Zhenwei restaurant, which reduced the income she could bring to the Lin family every month. But at the same time, most of the month was saved, and she thought about what she wanted to do to make up for the lack of money during this period.
After a winter and spring, people's enthusiasm for seabuckthorn fruit snacks has disappeared, and many stores no longer buy Wei Yongshou's seabuckthorn fruit. Wei Yongshou's seabuckthorn fruit can't be sold, so there is no extra money to make a living. Muyun saw that his land was very bleak, so she discussed with him to find some strange fruits to sell.
On the one hand, it may revive Lin Ji, on the other hand, it can also reduce Wei Yongshou's burden.
She was wandering in the street when she happened to meet Ji Ge coming out of the government office.
Jigo was very happy to see her. He went to her and asked her how she had been recently?
Mu Yun smiled and replied: very good.
As they walked, they talked about interesting things in town.
"This town is well managed by county magistrate Wu. I usually deal with trivial things. Either this family lost a dog or that family lost a fish."
Although he praised the county magistrate who had been transferred before, there was only superficial joy in Ji Ge's eyes.
Seeing him, Mu Yun sighed and said with a smile:
"Isn't that good? You've reduced government affairs and are happy to relax."
Jigo smiled bitterly:
"Since I am an official in the dynasty, I naturally want to do something good for the people. I always feel like wasting my time."
Mu Yun sighs that Ji Ge is an ambitious man.
Jigo smiled and refused.
They passed a restaurant.
Jige wants to invite Muyun to dinner. Muyun thinks that she has nothing to do recently. They chat while eating. They are very happy.
After dinner, Muyun wants to add some summer clothes to Huang and Lin Jinyan, so she goes to the tailor's shop with Ji Ge.
"This one, this one, wrapped together."
At this time, the boss of Zuohua tailor's shop has come back. He smiles and wraps up the two pieces that Muyun said, and asks if she has a new style painting.
"Yes, yes, but my husband doesn't want to draw for me. He wants me to do it myself." Muyun looked at the boss and shook his head. "But my pen, where can I take it? I can only let the flower bell wait."
Muyun knows that the boss is not interested in asking her about it, but that the boss's wife is a design maniac. She has to ask every time she sees Muyun. The boss's ears and eyes are dyed, and she also learns her mantra. When she sees Muyun, she also asks her about her painting.
The boss said it was hard.
"Muyun, come and have a look at this one."
Ji Ge stood in the shop and pointed to a dress to let Muyun have a look.
Mu Yun stretched out her head and said with a smile:
"Are you going to give it to your sweetheart? Such a choice is blind. Tell me what kind of person she is, and I'll give you some advice?"
"Not my sweetheart." Ji Ge shook his head with a smile and looked at Mu Yun with spoiled eyes. "She is a strong and resilient girl. She likes to face difficulties and never flinch."
Mu Yun naturally doesn't believe what Ji Ge said. If it weren't for his sweetheart, how could he evaluate this woman so highly?
She thought she had guessed jigo's Secret intention and said with a smile:
"The girl is so strong. She must like red?"
She looked at the dress in jigo's selection, shook her head and said:
"This pink dress is too sweet and doesn't seem to fit the girl's temperament." she turned her head to look at the clothes in the room, pointed to a garnet dress and said, "I think this dress is very much called the girl's temperament. Why don't you give it to her."
Ji Ge smiled and asked the boss to pack the clothes. Then he handed the packed clothes to Mu Yun.
Mu Yun was surprised and asked:
"This is for me?"
Jigo nodded, his eyes very gentle.
Mu Yun refuses to accept it.
The Lin family received many caresses from jigo, and nothing could help jigo. At this time, they were unable to accept jigo's gifts. As the saying goes, there is no reward for reactive work.
Jigo insisted on giving it.
Mu Yun retreats. Seeing that she can't hide from Ji Ge, she embraces the two clothes she has bought and turns to run away.
Ji Ge was helpless to see her so straightforward refusal.
He wants to make some compensation for his sister who hasn't met for many years, but Muyun is a stubborn girl. If he helps her within his duty, she is willing to accept it, but if he exceeds this limit, Muyun will hide far away.
I don't know whether Mu Yun is good or bad?
Ji Ge thought like this, but he put the clothes away first. He thought that he would have a chance to give the clothes to Mu Yun in the future.
In a few days.
in town.
I don't know why all the women in the town are in a hurry these days. Muyun is very surprised. She stops a little girl who bought snacks in the shop and asks like a gossip:
"Do you know why the women in the town are in a hurry recently?"
"Alas? Boss, don't you know? Gu's family will hold a cooking competition in the town, and girls with hairpins can participate in everything. If you win the championship, you can be a master in any restaurant in the town. There are many other benefits written at the door of Gu's restaurant. If the boss wants to know the details, you can go and have a look."
Although Muyun is not named by Zhenwei hall, since she has real skills, she is not afraid that no one wants her.
Knowing about the cooking contest, she wanted to be the first, so she went to see it.
Knowing that the first place can not only choose to work in a restaurant with a reward of 1000 liang of silver, but also get the name of "the first chef in the town". With this name, even if you open your own store, it's a sign that you can sell. What's more, as soon as the competition is played out, even if she is a nobody, she will play an important role in the future.
Muyun sees many benefits from it and plans to sign up.
But when she wanted to sign up, she was made difficult.
