With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 10 010. Accepting Apprentices

Then I heard Gu Xiaoxiao seriously say: "My dishes, whoever I want to teach, I choose by myself."

Xiao Mu sorted out her emotions and began to talk about business, "That's natural, but Mrs. Gu has someone she likes?"

"I'll teach him!" Xiao Mu followed Gu Xiaoxiao's fingers and looked at the person she had chosen.

It turned out to be just a little cook, and he was a bit obsequious, hiding his head behind all the cooks.

He frowned, and said with some disbelief: "Ms. Gu, are you sure? This person...isn't very good!"

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao had chosen him, the little cook's eyes lit up immediately, but when he heard Xiao Mu's words, he lowered his head deeply again, and his eyes dimmed.

Indeed, he is just a small helper, a helper, not even qualified to cook formally, so how could he entrust such an important matter to him.

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Mu, and said without a trace of emotion: "I can't choose someone, so who does Mr. Xiao want me to choose? Is your chef?" At the end of the speech, his tone was slightly raised, and he frowned slightly.

Xiao Mu's heart trembled when he saw this look, and he became nervous for a moment, but he also looked at the confident chef, compared with the little chef, thought carefully, and said honestly: "This chef can do this!" The location must be someone with real talent and learning, and it should be more suitable than that little chef." He sincerely proposed the suggestion, hoping that Gu Xiaoxiao could adopt it.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaoxiao, who heard his words, laughed mockingly, "Oh! Really talented? The position of chef in your family is really good!"

Xiao Mu didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, and was stunned for a moment.

But the chef was not convinced, and immediately stood up and retorted: "You woman is so unreasonable! You have never tasted the dishes I cook, so what do you mean by belittling people like this?!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao looked over calmly, with the coldness in his eyes.

That person was the haughty chef she saw outside the kitchen. He sneered and said, "What if I belittle you! Do you still need me to taste your dishes? They are all insults to my stomach! The number of customers in this restaurant can tell how bad your food is!"

Of course, if you can be a cook, it's true that the cooking won't be too bad, at most it's mediocre, but Gu Xiaoxiao purposely made it so serious.Such a person, if you don't say it seriously, he can't see how capable he is!Still higher than the sky?It is the lack of social beatings!
"You!" The chef's face turned red when he was stimulated by Gu Xiaoxiao's words, and he became a little angry for a while, but he couldn't bear it because of the presence of his boss.I had no choice but to point my finger at Gu Xiaoxiao, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly Gu Xiaoxiao's complexion darkened, even the sneer disappeared, her eyes shivered.A few steps forward, he grabbed the man's fingers and twisted, there was a slight "creaking" sound, and then the chef's scream broke out.

snort!She is not used to him.For this kind of person, if you can do it, talk less.She once said that she hates other people pointing at her!
Xiao Mu also didn't expect that Mrs. Gu would do it without saying a word, it was simply too cruel!But I also feel how strong a woman can be, not to mention that she didn't exert much strength to look after Mrs. Gu, why is the chef shouting so loudly, his bones will not break!This person is too hypocritical, as expected, Mrs. Gu has a good eye, he is indeed not suitable!

There is some disgust in the eyes of this seemingly strong chef.

Then I saw Gu Xiaoxiao walking towards the ingredients, slowly picked up a plate of mushrooms, turned around and walked back.

Holding the mushroom in front of Xiao Mu, the corner of his mouth curled up and said jokingly: "Master Xiao, I heard an interesting story when I went upstairs, let me share it with you!" Holding the mushroom, he looked at the chef and said, "Someone used it as a substitute Well, it’s okay to mix bad mushrooms with good ones. You know that bad mushrooms can cause food poisoning. How did such a person become a chef?!”

When Xiao Mu heard this, he looked at the chef in shock, with anger appearing on his face.

At this time, the chef looked at the servant behind Xiao Mu with a guilty conscience, and he quickly withdrew his eyes when he saw the servant gave him a hard look.

This interaction naturally also fell into Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she secretly smiled.It seems that the relationship with this relationship is that person!Fortunately, it wasn't Xiao Mu, otherwise she would have to reconsider whether to cooperate or not!

The chef was going to retort, "You... What evidence do you have to prove that I am shoddy? Is it just based on your own words?!"

"Just this plate of mushrooms!" She raised the plate in her hand, "Do you think you can't see the mushrooms after washing them? The slime and wrinkles on bad mushrooms can't be washed off!" I lightly touched one of the mushrooms, then pinched my thumb and forefinger together and released it, and a transparent filament was pulled out between the two fingers, which was the mucus.

Gu Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to the little cook behind the group of people again, pursed her lips when she met her gaze, and mustered up the courage to stand up and say loudly: "This lady is right! I can testify! It was me in the back kitchen with him, and I reminded him that the mushrooms were bad, but he told me to mind my own business!"

He was very grateful to Mrs. Gu for choosing him just now. He came to this group of cooks because of his love for cooking, and he also knew that the quality of raw materials determines the taste of a dish, so he stopped him at that time.Now he is not afraid anymore, the big deal is being fired, although he has no backer, but he firmly believes that gold will shine no matter where it is!

Seeing the less timid little cook, Gu Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction.This person seemed to be the same age as her, even a little younger than her. She could see the love and cherishment in this boy's eyes, and she also admired such a person, so she decided to give him the opportunity!

At this time, Xiao Mu was angry again, even more angry than before with Gu Xiaosheng!It's thanks to Mrs. Gu who found out, otherwise the mushrooms would be eaten by the guests, and if something happened to them, they wouldn't be able to continue working at Shiweixuan!This word of mouth is all over!

Turning his head and yelling at Shopkeeper Wang again: "How did you choose someone?! You dare to recruit such a person! And let him be the chef! Don't you want to do it!!"

Shopkeeper Wang, who had been a transparent person for a long time, suddenly knelt down in fright, and said aggrievedly: "Boss, this man... this man was not sent by you! He was transferred from Zhoucheng, saying that he is your man! Otherwise...otherwise, I would have wanted to change people a long time ago!"

Xiao Mu frowned deeply upon hearing this.His people?When did he send someone over? !

Seeing Xiao Mu's puzzled face, Gu Xiaoxiao kindly reminded him, "Master Xiao, you should ask the boy next to you, he seems to know something~"

As soon as Xiao Mu turned his head, he saw the servant boy who was so guilty that he was sweating. It seemed that he was really responsible for this!
"Li Wen! What's going on?!"

The boy named "Li Wen" saw his master squinting his eyes with anger on his face, and he knew he couldn't hide it, so he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master, I'm so wronged!" As soon as I explained, "This person is a relative of my cousin. He used to work as a cook in a small restaurant in Zhoucheng. Later, a customer in that restaurant ate food and ate his stomach, so he was sealed up and he was fired. He He found me and knew that I was working with the young master, so he asked me to help him find a job, and I thought he was a cook before, so I sent him here."

Speaking of this, he knelt and took a few steps towards Xiao Mu, and said excitedly: "Master, I don't know what he did, I just sent him here, and I don't care about the rest Too bad!... Now that I think about it, the reason why the restaurant was shut down is probably because he shoddy the dishes, which caused the customers to eat badly. If I knew it earlier, I would never let him eat Weixuan, young master!"

The chef was so frightened that he knelt on the ground silently, enduring the pain in his fingers.Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and said with a sneer, "Why did you do this? It must have embezzled all the money for buying ingredients! But you were safe and sound when the restaurant was closed down before, because they didn't know that The problem is with you!"

The chef shuddered when he heard this, and begged Gu Xiaoxiao with snot and tears, "Miss Gu, I won't dare anymore! I won't dare again! You are a big man, please, Forgive the little one! I apologized to you for contradicting you before, so please let the little one go..."

"The person you should ask is not me, but your boss! But no matter who you ask, it's useless to think about it. Since you can do this, you have to bear the consequences!"

Seeing that there was no room for change, the chef suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and no longer held back, ignoring the pain in his hand, he got up and punched Gu Xiaoxiao.

The sudden change made everyone present unable to react.But the corner of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth curled up, and excitement welled up in his eyes.This is the first person to fight her after coming to this world!
Then when Xiao Mu reacted and wanted to step forward to stop him, he saw that Gu Xiaoxiao didn't dodge or dodge, and even took a few steps forward, and instantly grabbed the fist that the man stretched out, and tripped with his right leg. The eight-foot man slammed heavily on the ground, but Gu Xiaoxiao didn't make any effort on her face. She clapped her palms and stepped on the chef's knee. There was another crisp "creak" sound, and the chef burst out instantly. There was a sound like a pig being killed.

Xiao Mu froze in place again, this time he no longer felt that this man was too hypocritical, but felt that...he must never provoke this woman in the future!
"Okay! You guys take care of these things! I have other things to do after I teach cooking! Just give me [-]% of my profit on a monthly basis."

Gu Xiaoxiao looked indifferent, ignoring the surprise of the audience, and went straight to the little cook, "You follow me, are you willing?"

The little cook regained his senses in surprise, "Yes! Master, please be respected by the apprentice!" Then he knelt down and bowed down.

Gu Xiaoxiao dodged immediately, "I just taught you how to cook, but I didn't say I want to recruit apprentices!"

"You taught me how to cook, you are my master. Whether you recognize it or not, I will recognize you as my master! You are the only one who recognizes me. I will always remember your great kindness and virtue in my life, and I will never Forget! Master, just accept me!" The little cook kowtowed three more times, and when he raised his head, his eyes were shining, which is the light that comes only when he loves something!

Seeing him like this, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't dodge any more. She took a deep look at the boy for a moment, then leaned forward slightly, lowered her head to meet his gaze, and said with a soft smile, "Little apprentice, what's your name?"

When the little cook heard this, he knew that the master had agreed to accept him, so he opened his mouth and smiled brightly, "My name is Liu Siyuan!"

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, "My name is Gu Xiaoxiao." The boy shouted loudly, "Master!" Still smiling happily.

"Okay~ I'll be your master!" Gu Xiaoxiao was also affected by Liu Siyuan's emotions, and smiled unconsciously.

Xiao Mu, who was a few steps away, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed because of laughing, and thought that this chubby lady Gu was pretty good-looking!

Suddenly I was startled, how could I have such an idea!Then he took a deep look at Gu Xiaoxiao.This Mrs. Gu is not coquettish and coquettish like ordinary little ladies. She has her own opinions and abilities. If he marries her, it will be of great benefit to his Xiao family!
You must know that their Xiao family was originally a well-known big family in the city, but since their father passed away due to illness, their strength has not been as good as before, and the most profitable one belongs to Shiweixuan.Although he worked hard and had ideas, but his uncle at home refused to accept him as a junior and wanted to get a share of everything. His hearts were not in harmony, and he gradually declined.

Today's Xiao family only has a reputation in Zhoucheng. The various forces did not embarrass their family much because of the face of the deceased father, but there were countless ridicules behind their backs.

He really wanted to change the current situation, but suffered from no direction, so he hesitated for a while when he heard the message from shopkeeper Wang, and finally came here with the mentality of giving it a try, until he saw Mrs. Gu, which surprised him very much.As long as he can revive the Xiao family, he has no family background, and he will not dislike Gu Niangzi's status as a country girl!

And Gu Xiaoxiao left Shiweixuan after teaching Liu Siyuan the Kung Pao Chicken.

Xiao Mu also set off to go back to Zhoucheng. Before leaving, he wanted to talk to Mrs. Gu and express his thoughts, but after all, he was a little shy looking at her extremely calm eyes, so he didn't say anything, so he had to say it in a hurry No, get in the car and leave.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what Xiao Mu was thinking, she frowned and looked at the back of his carriage leaving.It's strange how Dong Xiao's family is hesitating!
If she knew what Xiao Mu was planning, she might be able to kick him over.What a dream!Anyone dare to think about her? !Xiao Mu doesn't care about his family status, but she also dislikes that he is not as good-looking as her little husband-in-law!

After that, Gu Xiaoxiao went to the yamen and canceled his slave status.From now on she is a good citizen!Although her slave status didn't affect her free soul before, it's still not the same in name!She is also really happy at this time!
Coming out of the yamen, I happened to meet shopkeeper Wang sending the chef to the yamen. The man was already in a coma from the pain, and his leg probably won't get better in the future.And he shoddy, hid public funds, and lived in prison for the rest of his life!

Li Wen, the relative who wanted to be dragged down by him, would have to be fired when he returned to Zhoucheng, and he deserved it!

Immediately afterwards, she went to the bank again, and she had the 100 taels of silver note from Zhou's mother in her hand, and exchanged it for silver taels for convenience.Then I went to buy some rice noodles, and the family almost finished eating the last time I bought it.

Then he walked into the pharmacy again, this time he was rich, so let's see what herbs are suitable for Zhou Zeyun and Three Treasures.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxiao entered, the pharmacy clerk took a look at her and ignored her. This kind of rural people can't buy expensive medicinal materials, so he doesn't need to be enthusiastic.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care either, she also knew what these people were talking to, and it was normal for her current image to be received by no one, she still had to lose weight quickly!Then buy new clothes!Now that Shiweixuan's deal is completed, there will be no shortage of money.

Don't think about it anymore, she looked around and weighed some medicinal materials that are simple to take care of her body. Of course, these are things she hasn't seen in the mountains at this stage.

The clerk was still lukewarm, he took the money after weighing the medicinal materials, and continued his previous work.

Just as Gu Xiaoxiao was about to leave, a loud voice came from the backyard of the pharmacy, "What?! I want ginseng again! Where can I find ginseng that is more than a hundred years old? I have sent all the ginseng in the pharmacy, and if it is really gone ah!"

"Shopkeeper, the distinguished customer said, if there is no one in the store, go to other places to find it and deliver it. This is an emergency and saves lives!"

Hearing that it was the conversation between the owner of the pharmacy and the clerk, Gu Xiaoxiao paused before leaving, then turned around and said a little louder: "I have century-old ginseng, do you want it?"

The guy in front of the counter still doesn't do much, he just needs to do his own thing well and don't get involved in anything else.
