Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Chen Xing made up his mind, thinking about going to Gu Lang tomorrow to explain clearly, thinking of Gu Lang's happy look, he felt happy in his heart, hugged the quilt a few times, and then fell asleep beautifully.

The next day, Chen Xing got up early in the morning, and when he went to the kitchen with great interest, and cooked porridge and steamed delicious meat buns, Qiu Jiucai came in grittingly.

Seeing Chen Xing who was so diligent, although Qiu Jiu was taken aback, she was not too surprised. After all, he sometimes got up very early, so it was not surprising at this time.

Chen Xing greeted Qiu Jiu who was still rubbing his eyes and yawning, and then said happily: "Qiu Jiu, this porridge will be ready in half an hour, remember to call Gu Lang later stand up."

Qiu Jiu woke up immediately after hearing this, looked at Chen Xing and said, "By the way, I almost forgot. My son went out early in the morning and said he would only be back this afternoon, so there is no need to keep his breakfast." .”

Still staring at the steamer, thinking about what to say to Gu Lang later, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Qiu Jiu and said stupidly: "He went there, how did he go?" In such a hurry, why didn't you follow?"

Qiu Jiu's eyes flickered, she shook her head, showing an expression I didn't know, and said with a guilty conscience: "It seems that I went to find a friend, because it wasn't important, so I went alone."

Chen Xing, who was a little disappointed because of Gu Lang's absence, didn't notice Qiu Jiu's guilty look when he said this at all, but lowered his eyebrows and replied in a low voice, "Oh, why don't you tell me."

Seeing Chen Xing's lost look, Qiu Jiu pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, but still did not reveal his young master's whereabouts.

Anyway, I'll be back in the afternoon. Does it matter if I know where to go?Qiu Jiuru thought about it, completely unaware of Chen Xing's feeling of depression because he couldn't see anyone and wanted to tell Gu Lang.

After breakfast, Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu counted the stock of jelly and fruit wine in the warehouse, and took some selectively to the small restaurant.As soon as you enter through the back door, you will be greeted by people who have been busy for a long time.

Seeing the shopkeeper coming, Aunt Zhao, who was still washing vegetables, and Aunt Li, who joined the shop, greeted him one after another, "Good morning, little boss!"

"Good morning!" Chen Xing asked, and then walked towards the back kitchen, asking Xiao Wang, Qiu Wu, and Qiu Shi to put the jelly and fruit wine they sent at the front desk, so that they can be sold later when the store opens.

After they finished their work, Chen Xing looked at Xiao Wang and Qiu Shi who were in the back kitchen and said: "The big boss is not here today, and the back kitchen will be handed over to you later. I hope you can perform well. If there is anything wrong, don't hesitate Come and find me!"

"Yes!!"

"Yes."

The two responses were different, the former Xiao Wang's answer was full of air, and the latter Qiu Shi's answer was calm and sophisticated.

Xiao Wang was extremely excited. He originally came here to be a helper chef. Although he was thinking about learning the craft, he never expected that the owner would be so good. Not only did he not shy away from them when cooking, he even saw him not Those who understand will give him pointers.Now let him start cooking, he feels that he has been fully affirmed by the little boss.He felt that although he couldn't taste as good as the little boss's cooking for a while, he would definitely be able to in time!

Compared with Xiao Wang's excitement, Qiu Shi next to him was much calmer. He looked at Chen Xing, who had high hopes for them, and continued, "I will work hard."

Hearing their promise, Chen Xing nodded in satisfaction. In order to relax a little these days, he has trained Xiao Wang and Qiu Shi a lot. Basically, they will have a lot of experience with the dishes in the store during this period of time. Eight, as long as you follow his usual instructions, you will never smash the signs in their shop.If the guests want to eat some extra dishes, and they can't figure it out, he will do it himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing went to the front desk with peace of mind, ready to tidy up the front desk and start the day's business.It's just that when he got to the front desk, he found that it was neatly arranged, and there were books that Gu Lang had read in the past few days piled up in the corner.

Chen Xing looked at the covers of those books, and guessed that they were some travel notes, or biographies, etc. He patted the covers lightly, and wanted to put them in the drawer under the counter so that they would not be read later. He accidentally got it dirty.

Who knew that as soon as he picked it up, a piece of paper fell out of it. Chen Xing felt strange, but when he picked it up, he saw two little people holding hands and ambiguous postures. At a glance, he could tell that the people painted on it were himself and Gu Lang.

Chen Xing could even imagine Gu Lang sitting here with a sullen face, as if there was no one else around, drawing this picture leisurely.I don't know if there were other people around when Gu Lang was painting the words. As long as he thought of someone seeing the painting, he would feel a little ashamed for no reason.

"Little boss, we are going to open the door now!"

Qiu Jiu's loud voice came from not far away, and Chen Xing hurriedly put the painting and books under the counter, and then said to the person by the door: "Open it! I'm ready."

"Good Le!"

As the door of the restaurant opened, people came in one after another.The small restaurant that was originally quiet also became lively. Even Chen Xing, who was only in charge of collecting money, became busy, hesitating that this was his first time doing cashier work. .

A familiar guest saw him and made fun of him, "Little boss, you can't collect money as fast as your husband! How can you manage your family's money in the future!"

Chen Xing smiled and didn't speak, but he felt a little guilty in his heart. He felt that the guest was right. He wanted to manage the family's money, so the accounts had to be settled!

Fortunately, it was not difficult to collect money. After a short period of fuss, Chen Xing had already done it with ease.After the jelly and fruit wine were sold out and he was only responsible for collecting the money on the table, he even felt a bit at ease.

As soon as people are free, they can't restrain their random thoughts, and Chen Xing is no exception. He sat on the counter and watched the people coming and going outside, but he was thinking about where Gu Lang went and why he didn't come back after so long. , I don't know if I can come back on time at night.

Just as Chen Xing was staring at the outside in a daze, wondering if Gu Lang would come back later, if he would pick him up, he saw an old man in his sixties pushed out from a restaurant opposite, and the old man staggered Almost fell to the ground.

Chen Xing came back to his senses in an instant, and then he saw the old man helping the basket behind him, looked at the restaurant, and without saying anything, slowly came towards them .

Chen Xing watched the old man stand still a few steps away from his restaurant, with a somewhat hesitant look on his face, as if he wanted to come but didn't dare.Finally, after some hesitation, he still walked towards them.

Seeing this, Chen Xing also walked out from the counter, came to the old grandfather, and said with a gentle face, "Old man, what are you?"

Maybe it was because of eating in that restaurant just now, when the old man looked at the mild-looking brother in the blue gown, he still had a bit of fear on his face, and finally he seemed to muster up his courage and moved towards He said: "Young master, do you accept wild animals here?"

Chen Xing originally thought that the old man was kicked out because he was begging for food, but he didn't expect that he came here to sell wild things, so he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Chen Xing didn't answer, the old man thought that he didn't want it. He seemed to be a little anxious, and quickly said: "Young master, you can take a look at the goods first, my goods are very good."

Chen Xing immediately came back to his senses, looked at him and smiled, "In this case, let's take a look at the goods first!"

The old man hurriedly put down his back basket, then peeled off the straw on it to reveal the rabbit below, picked it up by its ears, and showed it in front of Chen Xing, "Look, young man, this rabbit At least it weighs four or five catties, and the fur on its body is so long, it didn’t hurt the hair on its body at all when we scratched it, so it can be peeled off to make some small things.”

When Chen Xing saw this rabbit, more than a dozen ways of doing it flashed through his mind.Now that I heard the second half of his sentence, I thought of Gu Lang's body so weak, I'm afraid it will be cold in winter, it's good for him to save some winter things for him in advance, this can just be used as a hand guard.

So, Chen Xing looked at the old man anxiously waiting for his reply, and asked politely, "Old man, how much is your asking price?"

The old man looked at the little brother with red lips and white teeth in front of him, his face was troubled for a while, and finally he said his answer, "150 Wen."

Hearing this answer, Chen Xing hesitated for a moment. Now the pork here is only twenty cents a catty, which is enough to buy seven or eight catties of pork.

The old man looked at Chen Xing hesitantly, seemed a little anxious, and said quickly: "Young master, don't look at the price I sell, but this rabbit is fat! And the skin on this body, if you buy it specially, it will be expensive in the end." I can sell it for more money. It’s just that something happened to my family recently, and I can’t wait to sell the leather, so I’m in a hurry to sell it.”

"Old man, don't worry, I want this rabbit." After Chen Xing finished speaking, thinking of the scene he saw just now, he hesitated and continued: "If you still have mountain goods behind you, you can also show them to me first. Look, if I think the price is reasonable, I should buy them all."

Chen Xing thought about it, and felt that there was nothing good to make up for in ancient times, except for pork, it was all kinds of chickens, ducks, and geese. A little game could improve the food, and maybe Gu Lang could eat two extra yuan every time he ate meat.If they can't finish it, they can also bring it to the store to make special delicacies and serve it to customers!

The old man didn't expect that this little brother not only accepted his rabbit so readily, but also said that he could show him all the goods in the future, which meant that he would have a generous and stable buyer in the future.After receiving the money, he was very grateful and prepared to leave.

Just when the old man was about to leave with his bamboo basket on his back, Chen Xing saw something at the bottom of his basket with sharp eyes, and immediately said, "What else is in your basket?"

The old man was a little puzzled when he heard the words, but he still put down the basket, peeled off the straw on it, revealed what Chen Xing saw underneath, and handed it to him, "You mean this?"

Chen Xing took what he handed over, but it was the oyster mushroom that he used to eat. He used to cook soup, but he didn’t see it after he came here. It actually exists, and it's quite substantial.So looking at the old man, he said excitedly, "How do you sell this thing?"

The old man looked at Chen Xing with an expression of picking up something good, looked at him with complicated eyes, and said cautiously: "Young master, this is for people in our mountains to satisfy their hunger, and it is not worth much. If you want it, I will give it to you." Just treat it as an extra head for you, and give it to you."

No matter how stingy Chen Xing was, it was impossible for him to take advantage of the tattered and not wealthy old man in front of him, he shook his head and insisted: "If you don't charge me, I can't have this thing. "

The old man couldn't help it, and finally asked Chen Xing for three Wen, which was regarded as the mushroom's money.

When the old man collected the money carefully and was about to go back, Chen Xing said again: "Old man, if there are such edible mushrooms in the future, no matter whether they are like this or not, you can bring me some, and I will come to you." I will count the money for you all the time. However, you must pay attention, it must be the kind that you have eaten and have not had any accidents."

People in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the experience of their ancestors adds up. They know better than anyone else what can and cannot be eaten.Therefore, Chen Xing's words did not cause him much trouble.

The old man didn't expect that people in the city would buy this kind of thing at first, he nodded immediately after being taken aback for a moment, and his tone was a little relaxed, "Hey, that's cool. I saw it, and I will definitely bring it to the young master. Up."

After the old man left with the empty bamboo basket on his back, Chen Xing took the chubby rabbit and the oyster mushrooms he just bought to the back kitchen.He had to let the people behind him peel the skin for him. First, send the skin to a professional craftsman for processing, and then marinate the rest of the meat to get rid of the anger, so that it will be delicious when it is cooked at night.

Thinking that Gu Lang would be able to eat delicious rabbit meat when he came back, Chen Xing also became happy, and even started humming a little song.

Speaking of which, after the old man left Chen Xing's small restaurant, he didn't go out of the city immediately to go home, but slowly came to the back door of a big family in the east of the city, and waited there silently.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the back door opened, and a tall man in his early twenties came out, nodding and bowing to the person inside the door, talking something, and finally the courtyard door closed with a bang. The smile faded from the man's face, revealing a slightly tired face.

When the man walked over from there, the old man stopped him, "Daniu."

The man who was stopped by the call froze in his footsteps, looked in the direction of the old man, looked at him standing there, and said in disbelief, "Father, why are you here?"

There was a little smugness on the old man's face, and his tone became a little more brisk, "Your father, I met a nobleman today, and the rabbit sold very well, so it came sooner."

"Father, how much did you sell?"

"150 words!"

Daniel looked at his father in disbelief, "Can you sell that much?" Although their rabbits are very good, but they are in urgent need of money now, he thought it would be good to sell them for a hundred and twenty cents.

The old man sighed a little, "That noble man is kind-hearted and didn't bargain with me. By the way, how are you doing here?"

Hearing the old man's question, Daniel was a little frustrated, and took out the money he just got.

The old man counted the number, and the total was only [-] Wen, and he immediately became angry, "You took so many things in, and it ended up with this little money. You, how do you do this? Do you know that Jiuniang is still here?" I need money to see a doctor!"

Jiuniang is the old man's daughter-in-law, Daniel's wife, and now she is sick in bed, still seriously ill, and needs money to buy medicine.Otherwise, the old man would not go to an unfamiliar restaurant regardless of his face, just to sell more money.

Daniel obviously also knew that this matter was not done well, and there was a bit of grievance on his face, so he could only say: "I can't help it! The housekeeper said that there is something wrong with my goods, so I picked them here and there. Yes, say that my stuff is not good, just give me this little money. If I don’t agree, just act like I won’t accept your goods next time. Although I’m aggrieved, there’s nothing I can do! If you don’t bring it here , get it to the market, sell it for a day, but the money is not much. Wasted so much time, who will take care of Jiuniang when the time comes!"

Hearing his son's explanation, the old man obviously also thought of the problem. Their family's troubles are there, and they can only be manipulated by others.But going on like this is not an option. They have spent a lot of effort trying to catch these prey, and the skins are not broken every time they catch them. Good products can't be sold as inferior products every time!

Immediately, the old man thought of the young man who made a deal with him today. The young man was not only generous, but also the restaurant was a good business. Their wild animals would definitely be liked by customers.His eyes lit up, looking at the distressed son in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't panic, it's not your fault. We don't care if we don't do the business of the Chen family in the future! We will sell all the things we call in the future to that young master, and our price will be more reasonable. Presumably the young master will also be willing." I collected it. Moreover, the young master also collects those mushrooms on the mountain, so we can earn a little more."

Hearing what his father said, Daniel's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately said: "Hey, Dad, you are right, I will listen to you."

The two father and son reached an agreement on who to sell to, and hurried to the pharmacy with the money from selling the prey, planning to go home after buying the medicine.

What they didn't know, after Daniel left, the steward of Chen's mansion looked at the prey he brought and smiled with satisfaction, and then ordered the servants around him, "Bring these things to the kitchen. Invite them, let them do it carefully, these are all good things, if the things they make disappoint Madam, they will know the consequences."

"Yes." After the servant replied, he and several other servants carried the pheasants and hares to the kitchen.

Seeing how they were doing things, the steward nodded in satisfaction, put his hands behind his back leisurely, and prepared to go to his wife to return.On the way in the past, I was still thinking about the oil and water saved this time, so I could go to Yixiangyuan to order a beautiful girl at the end of the month.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Chen sent away the manager who came to answer the conversation, and asked the big maid who was serving next to her, "How is the lady? Have the clothes been delivered?"

The big servant girl lowered her head slightly, blessed her body, and replied: "The clothes were delivered before noon."

Mrs. Chen nodded, thought for a while, still a little worried, stood up, and said directly: "Come on, let's go to Miss's place to have a look, I always feel a little uneasy."

"Yes."

In Chen Linger's room.

At this moment, Chen Ling'er was sitting in front of the table in a normal suit, staring at the clothes her mother had sent her, with a frighteningly gloomy expression on her face.

"Miss, madam is here!" Just as Chen Ling'er was staring at the dress, and the maid next to her was afraid that she would cut it with scissors, a voice from the little maid came from outside.

Chen Ling'er raised her eyelids, but didn't speak or move.

Mrs. Chen stepped into the room, and when she saw Chen Ling'er sitting there, she immediately knew what had happened.She waved her hand to let the maid who came with her and the maid who served Chen Ling'er in this room go down, then she walked directly opposite to Chen Ling'er and looked down at her.

After a while, Chen Ling'er couldn't take it anymore, and was the first to lose. She raised her eyes to look at her mother in front of her, and called weakly, "Mother."

Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows, showing a look of surprise, and said slowly: "I thought you didn't have my mother in your eyes?"

Chen Ling'er pursed her lips, knowing that she could not offend her mother yet, so she took her hand and tried to act coquettishly: "Mother, why don't I see you as a mother, I dare not be disrespectful to you in anything! "

Mrs. Chen poked her forehead, and said in a displeased tone: "You don't dare, why don't you put on the clothes I asked someone to send, I told you. Mrs. Zhao will come over tonight , shall we have dinner with her?"

Speaking of this, Chen Ling'er became stiff all of a sudden, she stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "I just don't want to eat with her, so I don't want to change clothes! I know her son is injured, his family I want to congratulate him, but mother, you want me to marry him, but I don't want to! I don't want to marry that cripple, he is just a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"

"Then what do you want to do?" Facing the suddenly angry daughter, Mrs. Chen's expression was calm from beginning to end, "You can talk to me about it."

Facing such a calm Mrs. Chen, Chen Ling'er suddenly became timid. She knew that her mother was like this when she was the most angry. She kept silent, but she had already planned how to deal with herself.She took a step back and whispered softly, "I think, I want to marry Gu Lang!"

Hearing Chen Linger's words, Mrs. Chen thought for a while, and the expression on her face finally changed. She frowned slightly, and looked at her daughter with firm eyes, her tone was full of displeasure, "Gu Lang, what did you say? Gu Lang?"

"That's right, it's the Gu Lang who was betrothed to our family." Now that she said it, Chen Ling'er was no longer afraid, she puffed up her chest a little, and said in a serious tone: "I've made up my mind, I just want to marry Give it to him, I want to marry him!"
