Chapter 64 Is it still too late (3)
When the men in black brought Gu Erye and Gu Sanlin back to Nanmen Village, Gu Xiaobei got into the carriage and asked Bai Qingli about the situation of the men in black.

It turned out that there were fifteen men in black in total, and they were sent to protect Gao Yili. Originally, Gu Xiaobei had guessed that Gao Yili had a lot of status, but he still didn't expect that he was the son of King Cheng.These people in black have been hiding in the dark for protection after Gao Yili came to the Bai family. During the day, they hid in the mountains or disguised themselves as hunters and walked around. They all protected outside the Bai family courtyard at night, so the villagers hardly realized that they There are more than a dozen super masters of martial arts lurking in the village.

As for why the man in black suddenly appeared here, Bai Qingli really didn't know, but he still guessed that the man in black must have sensed the difference between him and Gu Xiaobei, so he specially went to protect Gu Xiaobei in batches, and wanted to sell him a favor. Let him sincerely stand on King Cheng's side, so when they found out that something happened to Gu Xiaobei and the others tonight, the man in black immediately sent one person back to inform Bai Qingli, and the others stayed to save people.

"King Cheng's son is so precious, how could he be willing to keep his son with you?" Gu Xiaobei asked in confusion after hearing this.

"Because my master is so talented, he feels that only my master can teach that kid well!" Bai Qingli said very immodestly.

It's stinky again!Gu Xiaobei rolled his eyes, seeing the sun rising higher and higher, he hurriedly urged: "Hurry up!"

"Drive!" Bai Qingli swung the whip vigorously, and the horse galloped even faster.

"Be sure to make it in time!" In the carriage, Gu Xiaobei prayed.

In the brother and sister restaurant.

Yin Hehua, Chen Jiu, Brother Nuomi, and Zongzi arrived at the restaurant early, and today they will have a cooking competition. Yesterday, Gu Xiaobei told them not to do business today, but to participate in the cooking competition wholeheartedly, so they are not busy making breakfast, just wait After the brothers and sisters of the Gu family came, they were ready to go to the square to participate in the cooking competition.

However, they looked forward to it for a long time in front of the restaurant, but they did not see the carriage of the Gu family brothers and sisters appearing on the street, and the sky had already begun to dawn.

"Last night, I heard the little boss say that they will definitely come to the restaurant before dawn this morning, but why don't they come now? The cooking competition started at the beginning of Chen Shichu, and if they don't come, there may not be enough time." Zongzi was anxious Turning around, like ants on a hot pan.

"Wait a little longer, it might be ready." Brother Nuomi was also impatient, but after all he was much more stable than Brother Zongzi, he stretched out his hand to hold down the younger brother who kept spinning.

"Could it be that they overslept? Last night, I heard that their family had hunted wild boars. They invited a lot of people to dinner. Maybe they were too drunk to wake up last night." Chen Jiu guessed.

"No way? I can't tell the second boss and the third boss, but the young boss is not like an alcoholic, so he shouldn't be drunk." Zongzi asked doubtfully.

"I also don't think I should have overslept." Yin Hehua said.

"Something happened to them on the road, right? After all, it's dangerous to travel in the dark." Chen Jiu guessed again.

"Bah, bah! Crow's mouth, it doesn't work!" Yin Hehua immediately took a few mouthfuls and gave Chen Jiu a hard look.

Chen Jiu touched his head, looked very embarrassed, and poohed: "Pooh! It doesn't work!"

After waiting for a while, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family still did not appear. Not only did Zongzi feel anxious, but the others also panicked. They all thought to themselves, something really happened, right?

"Waiting like this is not an option. Even if they can arrive before the competition, it will be too late, because the ingredients for today's game have not been bought yet. Although some ingredients will be delivered after ordering, there are still some. The ingredients have to be bought in the morning. If they arrive, it will be too late, and the ordered ingredients must be paid in time, but we don’t have so much money in hand. Are we really going to lose this competition? Are you a cook?" Zongzi asked in frustration.

"Yeah, if you are late, you will lose. Not only will the restaurant not be able to open, but the boss and the others will have to kowtow to Zhouji Restaurant to make amends. Even the job we found with great difficulty will have to be lost." Yin Hehua handed He rubbed the corner of his clothes harder and harder.

"Then what can we do? In the past, the second boss bought the ingredients. Only he knows which one has the best ingredients. Besides, the money in the restaurant is also managed by the third boss. If they don't come, we can't buy ingredients. We don't even have the money to pay for the ingredients that we ordered to be delivered to our door today." Chen Jiu sighed.

For a while, everyone was silent, and things were indeed as Chen Jiu said.

"Brother, the boss is so kind to us, I don't want Brother and Sister Restaurant to fail, I don't want to leave Brother and Sister Restaurant!" Zongzi said to his brother with a mournful face.

Brother Nuomi patted his younger brother on the shoulder, why didn't he know?The two brothers came from poor farmers and went to work in the city to earn a living. Before they came to the brother and sister restaurant, they had done a lot of hard work, such as moving bricks, picking manure, serving tea and pouring water, etc. They have always been looked down upon by their employers, and they are usually beaten or scolded.

After coming to Brother and Sister Restaurant, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family never beat them. Even if they accidentally made a mistake, they just scolded them. They cherished their time at Brother and Sister Restaurant more than the two chefs. I don't want to see Gu Xiaobei brothers and sisters kowtow to others, especially Gu Xiaobei.

Although Gu Xiaobei also came from a farm just like them, Nuomi feels that Gu Xiaobei has an extraordinary bearing and will surely achieve great success in the future. It is unbearable to be bullied because of this, like a pearl being trampled on like mud !What's more, Brother Nuomi also entrusted Gu Xiaobei with a deep wish, which is what he has always wanted to prove in his heart: rural people are no worse than city people, and poor people are no worse than rich people. Not poor!
"Brother, brother, why are you in a daze? Have you thought of any good solution?" Seeing his brother in a daze, Zongzi couldn't help shaking his arm, expecting in his heart that this brother is much smarter than him , may be able to come up with a good way.

Brother Nuomi came back to his senses, smiled consolingly at his younger brother, frowned and thought for a while, and said to everyone: "It's really not an option to wait like this, let's go and prepare all the ingredients first, so the bosses come here After that, there is no need for them to buy ingredients, even if something happens late, as long as it is not later than the start time of the cooking competition."

At this time, Brother Nuomi felt that something must have happened to the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family, because he knew that Gu Xiaobei kept his word, since he said he would come early today last night, he would definitely come early, not because he overslept or something , if he can't arrive early, it can only mean that something happened to them, but in order not to panic everyone, he guessed that he didn't say it.

"Prepare? What preparation? The second boss has always prepared the ingredients, and we have no money." Chen Jiu said with a sullen face.
