Tofu Dongshi

Chapter 19

As soon as the thought came up, the desire to see someone suddenly became urgent, and even a lot of saliva was secreted from his mouth in response to the occasion.Zhen Zhigong felt a little unbelievable, did the dish made by that little tofu add some mysterious and special ingredients, otherwise how could he be so addicted?

Zhou Fusheng felt powerless and choked speechlessly.

The young master didn't seem to be so picky before, why is it so hard to serve him now?When did this change start?Well, since she disappeared for more than a month last time, he and Sun Qinglan found her in the prison of the Yongping County Government and took her home.

In addition to being picky about what to eat, the young master also has some other strange problems, such as not sleeping well at night, either because the mattress is too soft, or because the house is too cold and empty, and he doesn’t like finding a maid to serve him. Willing; for example, he must wake up at five o'clock in the morning, and if he falls asleep, it's fine. If he doesn't wake up and go for a stroll in the garden, then a large group of servants must also get up and walk with him; for example, many things are not Let the maid and servant do it for him, but he insisted on doing it himself, which made all the servants panic and think that if they did something wrong, they would be kicked out by the young master... All kinds of things made the whole family overwhelmed and puzzled.

In addition, it is good to say that the problem of picky eaters is the most troublesome thing. After changing several cooks and trying their best to satisfy the young master, it is like suffering from anorexia. The medicine he took didn't show any improvement, which really made Zhou Fusheng's brain troubled.If he hadn't watched Zhen Zhigong grow up since he was a child, he might have suspected that the young master of his family had been dropped by someone during the more than a month of his disappearance...

Zhou Fusheng was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Zhen Zhigong solemnly say: "Uncle Zhou, I want to trouble you to do something for me."

Zhou Fusheng expressed his loyalty in a generous statement, "Young master, if you have something to do, just tell me, and my subordinates will do it for you even if they go through fire and water!"

Zhen Zhi laughed out loudly, "It's not that serious, but I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome to do it. That's right, Dou Jiafu from Yongping County, do you remember that he was imprisoned with me in the Yongping County Prison last time?" The little guy here, his cooking skills are very good, which suits my taste best. I think you will go to Yongping when you have time these few days, and let him come to Zhen's house, no matter what conditions he offers OK."

Although Dou Jiafu was nicknamed Xiao Doufu, his temper was actually harder than a rock. He first lied to him about his real name and identity, and then suddenly left without saying goodbye. With that kid's stingy temper, he probably felt full of hatred for him. Resentment, maybe how to scold him afterwards.

As for the 1000 taels of silver, Zhen Zhigong just wanted to change his mind and was not very optimistic about the effect it could play.

However, even though he wanted to see that little piece of tofu, firstly, he couldn't get away from it because he had something to do, and secondly, he couldn't afford to ask for it in person, so he asked Zhou Fusheng to go for him. He is still more at ease.

Hearing the young master's explanation, Zhou Fusheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It turns out that this is not easy!Immediately patted his chest and promised: "This is easy. I happen to have no urgent matters these days. I can set off this afternoon. I will definitely find someone for you!"

When I left Yongping County last time, the staff sent to give Dou Jiafu a 1000 tael silver note later replied that Dou Jiafu was a tofu maker, and he was the only one in the family, poor and white.If Young Master Zhen of Ning Cheng wants to hire him to be the cook at his residence, then he should be overwhelmed by the flattery and rush here immediately with the money.

For a moment, Housekeeper Zhou even felt like killing a chicken with a bull's knife.However, this is an errand entrusted to him by the young master himself, and he will definitely complete it beautifully and perfectly without saying a word.

Zhen Zhigong smiled and said: "Then I will thank Uncle Zhou. After the matter is completed, I will definitely be rewarded."

Zhou Fusheng also smiled and said: "Young Master, you are being polite. This is what your subordinates should do. By the way, Young Master, I still have something to report."

Zhen Zhigong waved his hand in understanding, and the two maids bowed and exited the gazebo.

Zhou Fusheng said cautiously: "Master, none of the companies we've been watching have made any unusual movements during this time, but..."

The robbery and killing in the outskirts of Yongping County last time was obviously done deliberately, but Zhen Zhigong couldn't figure out who the mastermind behind the scenes was. After all, the Zhen family has a strong family property and a big tree attracts wind.

After returning to Ningcheng from Yongping County, he immediately drew a portrait of the thief who robbed and killed him and handed it over to the government to offer a reward for arresting the murderer. The larger firms are all listed as suspects and closely monitored, and they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.

It's just that three months have passed, and the investigation has not made any real progress. Those firms have confronted the Zhen family in private or provoked and obstructed them more or less. The only confirmed leader of the thief disappeared as if the world had evaporated.

Zhen Zhigong's expression was indifferent, "Uncle Zhou, just say what you have to say, don't be shy in front of me."

"Then I'll tell you the truth." Zhou Fusheng said seriously, "Second Young Master's money has been tight in the past month, and his gambling addiction has worsened, and the amount of money spent from the account is much larger than before. I want to ask the First Young Master for instructions. Next time the second young master needs to pay again, should the accountant give it to him?"

Zhen Zhigong narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous and mocking smile, "Here, give as much as the second young master wants. We, the Zhen family, can't be hard-pressed outside, making people look down upon us. Those companies also continue to watch, and report back immediately if there is any trouble."

Zhou Fusheng replied: "Yes, I understand. I'll go and inform the accountant right away. Eldest young master, if you don't have any other orders, I'll pack up and leave for Yongping County immediately."

Zhen Zhigong said with anticipation: "Go, be careful on the road, go and return quickly."

……

Three days later.

The carriage swayed and walked briskly, and Dou Jiafu was fascinated by the farmland of the village passing by outside the window.

Dou Jiafu looks at the scene, Zhou Fusheng looks at the people.On the surface, the big butler was closing his eyes and resting his mind, but in fact he squinted his eyes and looked at Dou Jiafu calmly.

I saw him three months ago in the prison of the Yongping County Government, but the light in the prison was dim, and Dou Jiafu was sloppy from head to toe after sitting in the prison for many days, so I only had a general impression of his appearance at that time. The specifics are not very clear, but at this time under the bright sky, every detail can be seen at a glance.

This skinny boy, who looked only in his teens, was very inconspicuous. From his appearance to his figure, from his clothing to his temperament, there was nothing worth mentioning.In addition, he is taciturn, does not answer unless asked, and answers are only a few words, so the sense of presence is very weak.

If it wasn't for his good cooking skills and accidentally being favored by his young master, such a person would be doomed to be a mediocre person in a remote mountain village for the rest of his life, Zhou Fusheng thought to himself.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He had planned a lot of rhetoric and prepared a lot of expensive meeting gifts, but he didn't think it was all useless.

He just said, "My young master thinks that little brother, you are a good cook, and I hope that little brother can go to Zhen's house in Ningcheng to be a cook", and when he wanted to catch his next sentence, Dou Jiafu decisively answered him three times. Word: "Okay, I'll go", nothing else was mentioned, not even salary and benefits.

Such a direct and straightforward answer made Zhou Fusheng unable to react in time, and it took a while to realize that the matter was done.
