Xie Fu said directly: "My mother said that there is a shortage of manpower in the kitchen on this ship. Let me ask." Then he added: "I helped in a big restaurant for a while."
The middle-aged man glanced at the dishes that Fu Xie had just put down and asked, "Are you talking about Zhong Qiu's family?"
Xie Fu nodded, "That's my mother."
After the middle-aged man looked at Xie Fu for a while, he said: "Well... let's do it this way. You stay to help today. I'll see how you perform and then I'll consider whether I can use you or not."
Xie Fu was secretly surprised when he heard this. It was done so easily. It was an unintentional move and was not at all what he expected.
But he still had to make up his mind. If he wanted to find out where Zhang Lingluo's apartment was in just one day, he would have to get very close to Zhang Lingluo.
Although helping in the kitchen is a legitimate job, there is such a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority in such a wealthy family. A servant in the kitchen may not even be able to go up to the second floor. Even if he hangs around for ten days and a half, he may not be able to find out where Zhang Lingluo's living room is. .
However, the identity of this kitchen servant is quite suitable for Hu Diquan. He doesn't have to hide in the ice cellar, let alone risk pretending to be a boatman. Thinking of this, Xie Fulang said loudly: "Diquan."
Hu Diquan saw Fu Xie attracting the middle-aged people here, and he was sneaking into the ice cellar by pushing open the door. He was suddenly stopped by Fu Xie, and he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out. Why did this idiot get exposed to me!
The middle-aged man also looked over and shouted coldly: "What are you doing? That's an ice cellar!"
Xie Fu hurriedly explained: "Uncle, this is my brother called Diquan. He is shy and timid. Don't scare him."
Hu Diquan was stunned. Is he shy and timid? He was the thickest skinned when he could say such nonsense. Seeing the middle-aged man looking at him, Xie Fu cooperated and showed a smile that he thought was shy.
Xie Fu continued: "Uncle, my brother also wants to stay here to help, so that the two brothers can be taken care of."
Hu Diquan was secretly surprised. Has the plan changed? Remembering what Fu Xie said before boarding the ship, he immediately calmed down and showed an honest expression to the middle-aged man, "Yes, uncle."
The middle-aged man saw that Hu Diquan was tall and thick, with a strong body, and he was suitable for rough work. He nodded, "Okay, then you two will stay today. I will see how you perform before I consider it."
It was so easy. With his identity, he no longer had to hide or be sneaky on the ship. Hu Diquan was happy in his heart. When the middle-aged man wasn't paying attention, he secretly gave Xie Fu a "You are so awesome" look.
This adaptability has become better. He really doesn't want to hide in a dark ice cellar.
The middle-aged man said: "My surname is Zeng. I am in charge of this kitchen. You can just call me Zeng. When working here, the most important thing is to understand your identity as a servant. On the other hand, the second floor is not where you servants should go." Place, I can’t help but step into it!”
Xie Fu thought to himself: "As expected!"
The middle-aged man pondered and said quickly: "As for the other rules, I will find someone to explain to you later."
The two of them nodded. Hu Diquan couldn't suppress the joy on his face, which made the middle-aged man feel that he was an honest person. "Now let's sort out and clean these vegetables and meat."
Probably in order to see how the two of them performed, this manager Zeng specially supervised them.
Di Quan originally wanted to whisper a few words to Xie Fu, but had to give up.
Xie Fu, who was carrying the vegetables to the washing area, suddenly became weak halfway and almost fell to the ground with the basket of vegetables. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed violently.
Hu Diquan immediately approached with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Fu didn't answer, but coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
Guan Zeng frowned at first, then his face became gloomy, and finally he looked serious. When Xie Fu stopped coughing, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "Are you sick?"
"I...I..." Xie Fu was hesitant and secretive.
Manager Zeng asked extremely seriously: "Are you sick?"
Xie Fu responded weakly: "I...I have a slight...pulmonary disease."
When the word "pulmonary disease" came out of his mouth, Manager Zeng became furious, "How dare you recommend yourself even though you have lung disease? If you want to kill me, get out of here right now!"
Hu Diquan was confused, what are you doing with Xie Fu? Why do you do things that cut off your own future?
He had known Fu Xie for such a long time, but he never knew that Fu Xie had any lung disease. Obviously Fu Xie was talking nonsense.
Are you improvising again? How could such a perfect opportunity change?
But little did he know that Xie Fu wanted to get as close as possible to Zhang Lingluo. As a servant in the kitchen, he couldn't even go up to the second floor, so how could he have any chance of getting close to Zhang Lingluo.
If Fu Xie was qualified to be Zhang Lingluo's bed-warming maid, I'm afraid he would not hesitate.
Xie Fu left the kitchen submissively.
Manager Zeng shouted loudly from behind: "Get out of here!"
In a place like the kitchen, how could a sick person get close to him? If the owner got sick, he would lose his head.
Not long after Mr. Xie walked out of the kitchen, he immediately exclaimed, "Ah! Manager Zeng, the ship has left the shore. I can't get off the ship. What should I do?"
Manager Gu Zeng didn't think about it for a while. After hearing this, he suddenly realized that the ship docked on time and left the shore on time. He didn't have such great power to let the ship return to shore. This dirty thing was left on the ship. Then... he thought about it. After thinking about it, he said, "Follow me."
Xie Fu followed immediately, but Manager Zeng was startled and immediately ran a few steps forward, turned around and cursed: "You dirty thing, stay away from me, do you want to kill me?"
Manager Zeng took Mr. Xie to the woodshed and said, "You will stay here today and you are not allowed to leave the woodshed. If you let me see you step out of the woodshed, I will throw you directly into the river."
"As for the food, I will ask your brother to bring it to you, and you will get off the boat early tomorrow morning."
Xie Fu looked at the way the former manager was avoiding things, and smiled secretly, I'm afraid you won't dare to come again, lung disease is contagious.
Not long after Manager Zeng left, Mr. Xie poked his head out of the woodshed and looked around. It was still early and most people were still sleeping, so it was a good opportunity to get active.
Seeing this person with his hair tied up, he is dressed in white, with a simple belt around his waist, and his clothes are elegant yet somewhat formal. The first impression is that he is a musician. Only musicians would dress like this, with their hair tied up.
He came just in time, he was looking for an opportunity to find out more and sneak into the Yale team.
Xie Fu rushed towards this man. This man walked in a hurry, walking several times faster than Xie Fu. Xie Fu only took a few steps and this man was already in front of him.
Hey, it looks familiar. Xie Fu remembered it. When he got on the boat just now, this man also got on the boat.
Xie Fu has an extraordinary memory, and today he carefully observed everyone and everything, so he remembered it very clearly. He was sure that the person who got on the boat with him just now was this person. When he got on the boat, he saw that this person was not holding vegetables or meat. , and pay attention to it a few times.
Since he was a musician, why not stay on the ship but get on the ship at that time?
With this doubt, Xie Fu looked at the man's hands. Even though the man passed him in a hurry, Xie Fu could still clearly see that his hands were very slender and there were obvious calluses on the fingertips.
These are clearly a pair of hands playing a small musical instrument. It is obvious that this person is indeed a musician.
The man hurriedly entered the woodshed where Fu Xie had just come out, and soon came out again. He asked Fu Xie, "Isn't this a toilet?"
The man's question allowed Xie Fu to immediately collect a lot of information. The man didn't even know where the toilet was. It was obvious that the man had boarded the ship with him just now, and it was obviously his first time on the ship.
New musician?
Xie Fu directly asked for directions, "What's your name? Are you new here?"
The man responded: "My surname is Tang and my name is Zian. The musician who played the sheng broke his hand yesterday. I am here to take his place."
Hearing the man's answer, Xie Fuquan understood, and was secretly happy. God helped me. It's you. You don't have to pretend to be someone else, just pretend to be someone else!
"Brother, where is the toilet?" The man surnamed Tang hugged his abdomen with both hands, looking very tight.
On boarding the ship earlier, Xie Fu had already observed the location of the latrines and pointed forward, "The one in front is the latrines."
"Thank you." The man surnamed Tang did not forget to express his thanks and hurriedly entered the toilet.
Xie Fu squatted outside the toilet and soon smelled a stench coming from the toilet. In addition, there were loud humming sounds from inside, and he probably judged that the man named Tang had a bad stomach.
After waiting for a long time, the man surnamed Tang came out of the toilet with a pale and sweaty face.
The man surnamed Tang was slightly surprised to see Fu Xie still there, but Fu Xie asked with some concern: "Musician Tang, do you have diarrhea?"
The man surnamed Tang nodded and said, "Maybe he ate something unclean last night."
Xie Fu pretended to be familiar with the place and chatted with the man named Tang, and together they entered the room where the man had just come out.
After entering the room, I discovered that this was the musician's dressing room. The clothes the man had just changed were hung on the hangers next to it. There was also the sheng, the musical instrument played by the man, on the table.
The man sat down and was about to put on white shoes. Only then did Xie Fu notice that he was wearing ordinary boots. It seemed that he had just changed his clothes halfway and suddenly had a stomachache. He didn't even bother to put on his boots, so he hurried to the toilet.
"Musician Tang, how many years have you been playing this kind of thing?" Fu Xie asked, walking behind the man.
The man responded while putting on his boots: "I have practiced playing the sheng since I was a child. My father..."
With a sound of "Uh", the man was suddenly knocked unconscious by Xie Fu from behind.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Xie Fu immediately walked to the door, looked around the corridor and saw that no one was there. He hung the man on his shoulders and left the room towards the ice cellar, as if he were supporting a drunken man.
The purpose of this method of support was to prevent sudden encounters with people. It could be said that Tang Zian fainted from exhaustion.
When he arrived at the door of the ice cellar and was about to open the door and enter the ice cellar, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Although Xie Fu looked calm on the outside, his heart still trembled slightly.
When he looked back, it was Hu Diquan. The moment their eyes met, Hu Diquan immediately understood and helped lead Tang Zian into the ice cellar without saying a word.
Gently closing the ice cellar door, Hu Diquan whispered: "You are so bold, you just knocked someone unconscious and dragged them over. What if someone sees you? Fortunately, it was me who met you."
