Chapter 154 The Lady of the Constable's House (32)
"Why? Sir, you look down on me, a rough man, and you look like a scholar. Yesterday, I heard a scholar say that brothers in the world are like one family. You scholars are quibbling over words, but you are teasing me!"
Gu Ke was shocked. What does this have to do with scholars? He is a man of both literary and martial arts, so he is not a deceitful birdman... No, how can scholars deceive people!
"Sir, this has nothing to do with scholars."
The man's eyes widened, and then he exhaled heavily through his nostrils and said sternly, "I understand now. It turns out that it's not the scholars who look down on me, but you, a birdman, who are teasing me."
"Why is that so?"
"Because you despise the high position and salary and longevity fruit that I gave you, you are not meant for this table. There is an empty seat over there. This table is too small to accommodate your wealth of knowledge and ink."
Xie Lize quickly said, "Little brother, this gentleman's mistake was unintentional, and he didn't mean to look down on you."
Gu Ke held the peanuts to express his opinion, and said with a smile: "Sir, this longevity fruit is really a delicacy in the world."
Watching the man eating peanuts, Gu Yuxi handed a chicken butt to the man who was about to wipe his hands: "This is a rich and noble place, gathering the aura of wealth. Sir, don't be embarrassed. You are a blessed person, so you will naturally be blessed to enjoy it. Just take it."
"Under..."
Gu Ke thanked Xie Lize in advance: "Sir, don't miss out on this kind of wealth."
Xie Lize understood Coca's implication, but he didn't want this greasy "wealth"!
"Sir, please go first."
"My Lord, you are a blessed man."
"You first."
"Sir first."
The two men pushed each other away, and the "wealth" accidentally fell to the ground. Both of them looked at each other in surprise.
The man snorted coldly: "Ha!"
Everyone thought something was wrong. What was going on? They saw the man stuffing two peanuts into his mouth.
Just when everyone thought that the man was talking nonsense, he urged the store owner again, "I'm full. You can ask this young man for the money for this bowl of wontons."
"Please wait a moment, dear guest. It will be ready soon."
"you sure?"
Ye San, the novice wonton cooker, was extremely anxious at this moment, but the fire was out of control and the wontons were almost turned into dough lumps with broth.
Before that, Ye Qi had specifically instructed to cook it slowly so as to delay time, so Ye Qi stuffed several pieces of firewood into the stove.
But the master signaled him to go slower and add some cold water. Now the fire was not burning and the soup was not hot.
Ye San put down the spoon and checked on Ye Qi's condition. It turned out that there was thick smoke in the stove, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Ye Qi, the waiter who was choked by the smoke, coughed and said, "I'm so sorry, sir, you have to wait a moment... This fire is really a little bit out of control..."
As Ye Qi spoke, he fanned the air around him with his hands, trying to disperse some of the thick smoke.
However, this had no practical effect, as the entire kitchen was still filled with thick smoke, blurring vision.
boom!
The only remaining teapot went out. The group of people looked and saw that the bowls on other tables were all gone, and there was only a pile of peanut shells and chicken bones on the table for three people.
Seeing that person wiping his hands and leaving, Xie Lize said awkwardly, "I think the wind is weak around the stove today, or it's against the wind, so the store owner can't control the temperature well."
Just as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew along the stove, turning the raw wood into a cooked fire. Everyone was drawn into the thick smoke, which seemed to have a fragrance.
"You silly waiter, I'm the first one to come to your store, and you keep taking the wontons to other places. Do you look down on me?"
"I dare not. The heat is not right today."
Gu Yuxi looked at the acquaintance, pretended to be angry, walked to the stove, and picked up Ye Si. The others widened their eyes, and after they realized what was happening, they hurried to persuade him.
"Don't be upset, sir. Don't embarrass this little brother over a bowl of wontons."
"The young master just said that harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."
"Where did the money come from? I took a few puffs of smoke from the stove. It turns out that free things are the most expensive."
Gu Ke smiled and said, "You are in a hurry, sir. Now that the fire is lit, it will be ready soon."
"You idiot, why don't you bring it to me quickly? You've delayed my trip. I won't leave your crappy shop anymore."
Returning to their original seats, the others changed the subject: "Are you in business?"
"Of course I'm in business, but you guys have taken away my money."
"You are wrong. We are just passers-by. How can we say that we are ruining your financial situation?"
Gu Yuxi pointed at the "wealth" on the ground and said, "I consider that we are all just passers-by trying to make a living, so I gave you these valuable things. I never thought that you would be trampled on like this. Is this wealth and fortune going to continue?"
Xie Lize didn't expect to be brought up again. He said, "It is true that I was rude, but please compensate me, Wonton."
"Oh, how can your six-cent bowl of wontons compare with my wealth."
Coca's tone was a little aggressive: "Why do you have to be so aggressive, sir?"
"gentlemen!"
Realizing that his words had been too harsh, Gu Ke smiled awkwardly and was about to explain, but the other person's eyes fell on the book bag on the table.
"Oh! Sir, what scholar is reading such filthy things as "A Lover's Night Meeting with a Clever Girl"? Don't tarnish the reputation of scholars."
Everyone looked at the vivid illustrations, felt their eyes burning, and looked towards Coca.
This made Gu Ke at a loss as to what to do. He hurriedly stuffed the book back, but another book, "Sweet Love and Crazy Love", appeared.
They cursed Ye Si, who was serving the wontons, in their hearts. It was so embarrassing. Why did he have to pretend to be a scholar? Look, he made Mr. Gu and the prince blush.
"Oh, you are not a serious scholar. There is a golden house in this book. My high position and generous salary are not for you to enjoy. Pay the money!"
Xie Lize explained: "Good man, these small things are safe and sound, and the way to make money..."
"How can I live in peace when my financial resources are gone? The elders of Jiangdong were the first to disagree with my crossing the river; my father's stick can't make him rich; and when my wife and children have no money to live on and can't even get enough food, how can I live in peace?"
Everyone felt that this was very reasonable, and they only heard the other party say: "Sir, you said that this path to wealth is safe and sound, so why don't I be the great benefactor of your path to wealth."
Xie Lize: "What should I do? I just spoke without restraint..."
"My wealth is gone, so you have to use your money to compensate me, or this fake scholar has to compensate me. It's up to you to choose. Anyway, I am not worthy of the white flour soup in that pot."
Gu Ke: "Since your wealth has been lost, compensation is the way to go. I will go to the county town to buy some."
"Oh, that's the Fortune Chicken I found from the Three Gods of Fortune, Fortune and Longevity. Want to buy it? Where can I buy it? If there is, bring all of it here!"
"Hey man, is this thing so expensive?"
