border cook

Her gaze was too hot, and Chi Qing couldn't help but look sideways at her while holding the potted plant, and found that she saw the potted plant as if she saw gold, and thought that this little cook was very sensible, knowing that it was only from outside the customs Plants are rare!

After Jiang Yanyi was stared at like this, he also came back to his senses, knowing that he could not stay any longer, reluctantly glanced at the potted plant in Chi Qing's hand, and bowed back.

Her heart was beating a little hard.

This dynasty has chili!

It's just that it hasn't been brought to the table yet!

When I leave the barracks, I have to go to the market to look for them and buy more!

At this moment, Jiang Yanyi's mind went over all the hot pot skewers, spicy hot pot, and she wished she could leave the barracks immediately and open her old hot pot restaurant quickly!

After she withdrew, Chi Qing looked at Feng Shuo with a face of accusation: "See! The little cook knows better than you!"

Feng Shuo glanced at him indifferently: "Go and wash the potted plants."

Chi Qing wanted to say that whoever made the dirt would wash it off, but when he thought of pouring the pen washing water directly on the pepper, he must have ignored the pepper and expected him to go, unless the sun came out in the west!

Chi Qing had no choice but to mutter and carry the potted plants out of the big tent to find water.

At this moment, he hadn't realized why Feng Shuo was too lazy to take care of this potted plant, why he suddenly asked him to carry it down to wash off the light ink stains on it.

When Jiang Yanyi returned to Huotou camp, she ran into several Huotou soldiers who came to look for her. It turned out that Cook Li saw that she had not returned for a long time, and was afraid of any accidents, so he asked them to come and have a look.

As soon as he got back to the stove, Jiang Yanyi ate hot meals and hot dishes. Cook Li specially ordered them to be heated on the stove. It's rare that he hasn't finished work at this time tonight.

Chef Li learned about the location of the shop that Jiang Yanyi planned to rent from Mr. Zhao.

When eating in Jiang Yanyi, he babbled on to her a lot, from how many helpers he needed to hire to human relationships, and told her to open a shop in order to make money with kindness, and not to offend the dignitaries around her.

It was the first time for Jiang Yan to feel that someone treated her so well when she realized this other world. While being moved, her eyes were a little sour.

In her previous life, whenever she wanted to travel far away, her father would also ramble like this, telling him everything he could think of.She had a car accident in that world, her parents might be sad now...

As soon as Jiang Yanyi's eyes were wet, he heard a whimpering sound from behind the stove, it was okra.

Jiang Yanyi was taken aback, thinking something had happened, she hurried over to ask her what was wrong.

Qiukui cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, choked up and said, "I miss my dad..."

When she heard Chef Li say this to Jiang Yanyi, she couldn't help but think of her parents who died of starvation on the way. She had a serious illness when she was a child, and she had a fever for several days. When she recovered, she was a little dull.

The children in the village laughed at her as a fool, but her parents still held her in their hands and felt pain in their hearts.

But when her parents died, she couldn't even find a roll of straw mats to wrap their corpses on the way to escape from the desert. She dug the ground with branches for two full days before she threw a shallow pit and buried the two elders.

The tears that Jiang Yanyi had managed to hold back were brought out because of Okra's words.

She squatted down and hugged Okra: "Stop crying, your father must be looking forward to your well-being, and he will be at ease when you are well."

Okra lay on Jiang Yanyi's shoulder and cried loudly, as helpless as a child, tears wet Jiang Yanyi's shoulder in a short while.

"I... woo woo... I don't want to be a prostitute... woo woo..."

"I'm so... woo... I wanted to go with my parents... woo... several times..."

"But my parents... woo... my parents said before they died... woo woo... want me... woo... to live well..."

Jiang Yanyi gently patted her on the back to comfort her, and comforted her: "We won't be camp prostitutes anymore, we will leave the barracks tomorrow."

Qiukui shook her head, because she was crying so intensely that she could hardly speak: "I... woo woo woo... I also want to... woo... same as Huahua you... burp..."

She hiccupped from crying, and then continued the previous sentence: "I want...to be a clean person...uh...go back and re...rebury my parents..."

Chef Li was getting old, so he didn't want to see such crying scenes, so he wiped his eyes and turned his head away from them.

But in the end, he was very sad. He joined the army at the age of 15 and entered Huotouying. He stayed on the stove for the rest of his life. He had no children under his knees.

Before tonight, he didn't look down on Qiu Kui, a silly girl, she was naive and stupid, without any understanding, but seeing her so filial, he felt pity again, and even envied her father a bit Mother come.

Jiang Yanyi's heart was broken by okra's crying, thinking that she said before that her parents died on the way to escape, she felt quite uncomfortable, and at the same time, she was even more grateful for the grace Feng Shuo gave today.

She hastened to tell her about Grace.

Qiukui was already crying dumbfounded. Hearing the news, it felt like a dream: "Is... is it true?"

Jiang Yanyi hurriedly said: "The general personally agreed, and promised to help you get rid of the criminal record. It will take some time before the booklet is sent to the capital. I will buy you first tomorrow, and you will open a restaurant with me in the future. Your good status has come down, and you go back to bury your parents."

When Qiukui heard this, tears rolled down like balls: "Thank you, Huahua. After I bury my parents, I will help you for the rest of my life in the restaurant. You don't need wages, and you give me a bite to eat." Just fine."

Jiang Yanyi was both moved and distressed: "What stupid things are you talking about!"

When Okra's mood stabilized, Cook Li gave Jiang Yanyi a few more words. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked the big Huotou army to send Jiang Yanyi and the others back to the barracks to rest.

When the two returned to the Populus euphratica barracks, not many people fell asleep here, and they couldn't fall asleep because they were about to regain their freedom.

Some hand over the money they have saved for many years to their lovers, hoping that the other party can buy them back; Clean, looking forward to being spotted by the bustards who will come from the Goulan kilns tomorrow; others have empty eyes, probably because they don't want to fight with this fate anymore...

To Jiang Yanyi's surprise, Chunxiang asked someone to fetch water to scrub her, and changed her into her best clothes.

The reward for doing this is to give the other party a box of rouge.

Her money has been spent on buying "medicine" to treat injuries.

When she was in glory, she had accumulated a lot of rouge and gouache.There are camp "prostitutes" who have the same thoughts as her, so in order to make themselves look better tomorrow, they are naturally willing to help her.

Jiang Yanyi looked at the busy women in the barracks, and suddenly felt that something was blocked in her chest, which made her uncomfortable.

This is the tragedy of this era. She herself is like a duckweed, so she can't help them.

She turned over and forced herself not to think about it.

Okra has a very simple temperament, knowing that she will go with Jiang Yanyi tomorrow, she doesn't worry about anything.After a while, Kung Fu fell asleep, even snoring lightly.

Chunxiang in the bed opposite had many people asking her to borrow rouge and gouache tonight, so she had the illusion that she had returned to the past. Hearing the snoring of okra, she sneered: "It is said that stupid people have stupid blessings." , If it’s true, it’s this time, and I can still sleep so peacefully, I think I’ll have a good place to go with Chef Jiang tomorrow.”

Before she came back, Jiang Yanyi told Okra not to tell others that she could recover her status and that she would buy her tomorrow.

With the lesson Chunxiang and Liu Cheng taught her before, Jiang Yanyi now dare not reveal her wealth at all.

When Feng Shuo gave her the banknote that day, no one was there except the "prostitutes" of the okra camp, but maybe someone heard the news from the few firemen who were on duty that night.

Moreover, the reward tonight cannot be concealed. Jiang Yanyi deliberately pressed the reward silver and the broken silver and copper plates she got tonight under her pillow. This is the worst plan-even if it is stolen, she There is also the 100 taels of silver notes.

As for the one or two hundred silver bills, she hid them under the okra shoe mat before returning to camp.

Jiang Yanyi knew that this was the end of the road, if someone really wanted to steal money, she must be the first choice target, after all, she had won a lot of rewards in Huotouying.

Her bed is so big, she can't hide it even if she wants to, and the soles of her shoes will definitely be turned over.

On the contrary, Qiu Kui usually looks stupid, and she is the one who has the least money in the camp "prostitutes", so naturally no one would think of going to her to find money.

Chunxiang didn't know this, she was proud of her once but her nature remained unchanged, so she deliberately made ridicule.

Jiang Yanyi didn't want to make any troubles this last night, so he pretended not to hear.

Chunxiang thought that Jiang Yanyi didn't intend to take care of the okra, and felt guilty, and couldn't keep up, so she didn't dare to choke with her.

She became even more proud: "So this person, you should think carefully before climbing high branches, so as not to waste all your money in fetching water from a bamboo basket."

The prostitutes in the camp will all go their separate ways, except for a few who want to borrow Chunxiang's makeup and are willing to give her a few words, no one else speaks.Chunxiang herself also felt that it was boring, but she managed to regain her breath and stopped shouting.

After a while, the barracks was completely quiet.

But Jiang Yanyi didn't dare to sleep to death, and didn't sleep for a while until nearly four o'clock.

The next day the rooster crowed for the first time, and the women in the barracks began to get up one after another to clean up.

Jiang Yanyi woke up to find that the silver was still under her pillow.

But when she was about to get out of bed, she saw that the insoles of her shoes were a little loose, as if they had been turned up by someone. The traces of being flipped, this is a sigh of relief.

She didn't lose anything, so she didn't make a sound. After she dressed herself, she called Okra up.

At Yinshi, the little leader who was in charge of them came over, just like the day Jiang Yanyi had just passed through, yelling for them to follow.

It's just that they were taken to Huotou camp as help cooks that time, but this time, they were out of the camp.

On the way, when Jiang Yanyi saw twice as many military tents and patrolling soldiers than when he first came, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

When we arrived at the gate of Daying in Xizhou, we could see a few mule carts and ox carts parked here and there. They probably came to buy prostitutes in the camp, or some women from a good family who had been captured in the camp got the news that their daughter would be able to return home. Hurry up to pick it up.

The little leader took out a roster, and every time a person was read, someone would go out from the line, and the soldier behind him took out the household registration document and five taels of silver and handed it to the woman who came forward.

Jiang Yanyi was the last one.

"General Rende, you have settled your grievances and restored your good status, so you can go home on your own!" the little boss said to them.

Next is the camp "prostitute" who bears the crime record, and Okra is also among them because the pardon document has not yet come down.

As soon as the little boss said that they could be sold, the middle-aged women in the mule carts and oxcarts that had not been driven away walked over with twisted waists. It's great at first glance.

Jiang Yanyi knew that this was probably the old bustard in the kiln, so before she came over, she hurriedly dragged the okra to the little boss: "Master Jun, I'll buy her."

Okra's complexion is a bit dark, she has a round face, and her appearance can be regarded as handsome, but because she looks dull on weekdays, her appearance has dropped by three points.In addition, the other "prostitutes" in the camp today have been specially groomed and groomed. She is as gray as a goose in the crowd, even more inconspicuous.

Jiang Yanyi now has a good record and has the right to buy and sell slaves, so the little boss didn't ask too much. He only asked her to put a pledge on the contract for buying government slaves, and reminded her not to resell them easily. Going to register, Jiang Yanyi agreed to everything.

Thalassemia in Xizhou, basically no one will buy "prostitutes" from the criminal camp. No matter how tall, thin or short, the price set above is [-] yuan per person.

Jiang Yanyi bought the okra with a tael of silver, and when the little boss handed over his contract of sale to Jiang Yanyi, the okra was both happy and sad, and his eyes were a little red.She has fallen into the mud since she was betrayed by her aunt, and now she can finally get out.

Jiang Yanyi was outstanding in appearance, the old bustard who came to pick someone couldn't help but look at her a few more times, seeing that she was also buying someone, he knew she was a woman from a good family, so he rested his mind.

Chunxiang in the crowd saw Jiang Yanyi buying okra, her face was distorted with anger. It turned out that she deliberately didn't answer herself last night and was waiting here!

Seeing the old bustard approaching, Chunxiang immediately put away her ferocious expression, her gorgeous clothes, enchanting figure, and rouge on her face, she was the most conspicuous in the crowd.

The old bustard saw her at a glance, and when she got closer, she found that she was supported by two camp prostitutes to barely stand still, but after a while, there was a lot of sweat on her forehead, and the rouge couldn't cover it. Her face was pale.

The madam looked her up and down.

Chunxiang hurriedly called her with a smile: "Mom, buy me back, I will make you a lot of money."

The old bustard's eyes were shrewd, she only glanced at her, then turned around to look at the other prostitutes with a snort.

Chunxiang panicked and called her loudly, "Buy me! I can really make money for you!"

She thumped forward and wanted to grab the sleeve of the old bustard, but the two camp prostitutes who had benefited from her couldn't support her at all, she fell directly to the ground, the wound on her buttocks opened, and she screamed in pain while crawling towards The old bustard grabbed her skirt: "Sell me!"

The old bustard pulled the corner of his clothes out of her hands as if he had gotten something dirty, and said meanly: "Go, go, don't bring me bad luck if you want to die! Bad luck!"

While talking, the bustard had already selected the person to buy, and went to the little boss to get the contract of sale.

Chunxiang's eyes were full of despair, she couldn't even stand up now, if no one bought her, she would have to be sent to hard labor, she would be tortured to death, she lay on the ground and cried loudly.

Jiang Yanyi had already walked some distance with the okra, and when she heard the crying behind her, she and the okra both looked back.

Chunxiang, this person, probably responded to the saying "Poor people must have something to hate".

Everything now is her own fault, and she almost died of her and Liu Cheng's poisonous plan, Jiang Yanyi really can't sympathize with her.

she said to Okra. "Let's go."

Okra nodded.

Zhao Touer rented an ox cart and waited for them in front. His nephew went down to the south of the Yangtze River yesterday afternoon with all his heart and soul.Head Zhao asked for leave today and took her to sign the contract of the shop, and sent them there by the way.

*

When we arrived at the shop, it was already Chen's time. Jiang Yanyi signed a lease agreement with Zhao Tou'er, and paid the rent for another three months. The restaurant was officially opened, and he was invited to come over for a meal, and Mr. Zhao readily agreed.

Jiang Yanyi and Okra roughly cleaned up the shop in front and the yard behind. It was almost noon, and the two of them hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and the house was cold, so Jiang Yanyi decided to take the okra out to eat restaurant.

Qiukui lowered her head, pinching the hem of her clothes, unwilling to go: "I have already spent a thousand dollars on Huahua, and I have to save the rest to open a shop. Let's save some flowers. I see that there is still some rice in the rice tank. I'm going to light a fire and cook a meal, it won't take long."

Although this girl is a bit dull, she is actually sensitive, and she is afraid that she will cause a burden to herself.

Jiang Yanyi felt sorry for the girl, and thought that even if she was forced to go out to eat, she might not be happy, so she said: "Then you go to make a fire first, and boil water in the pot."

Zhao Dabao just left yesterday, and the kitchen has all kinds of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Before he left, Mr. Zhao also said that these things were left to feed the mice. His house is far away, and it is not convenient to move them around for such a small amount. Let them use them as they like. .

Jiang Yanyi went into the kitchen and looked around, and found that there were no fresh seasonal vegetables, but there were a few big yellow pumpkins piled up in the corner.

She had an idea in an instant, she could make a simple pumpkin stewed rice, and make the leftover pumpkin into pumpkin pie!
