C645 Be a Cook
The girl asked curiously, "We're human too. How did you survive in the water for so long?" Seemingly realizing that this was indecent, the girl continued: "Since you are a human, why are you in the water? How can you not be angry? And how did you come back to life? "
Du Qi said," We took a boat across the river, but when the boat reached the heart of the river, it turned over. I don't know who knocked on my head, but I fell asleep immediately. When I woke up, I was here. Did you save me? "
Third Brother said," So that's how it is? You scared us half to death. Where do you live? How long have you been out? How about we send you to shore and quickly go home? Otherwise, your family will be worried to death! "
Du Qi saw that the river was wide, probably in the middle of the Yangtze River, so he said," Thank you so much. My family is in Jingzhou, but there is no one in my family. No one will worry about me. "
Hearing Du Qi's words, the little girl did not have any special reaction. The four men were shocked and the third brother said in surprise, "What? Your family is in Jingzhou? Then where did you cross the river and fall into the water?"
Du Qi said, "It's the Gong Gong pier?"
Mo said in disbelief, "The Gong Gong pier in Jingzhou?"
Du Qi said, "Yes, the Gong Gong pier is very famous. Everyone knows about it!"
Mo said in surprise, "Strange! You were washed so far in the water and didn't even choke on water. This is really strange! It seems that brother has good fortune and will definitely make a name for himself in the future!"
That girl suddenly said with some joy, "Is this place far away from Jingzhou? Didn't we have to pass through Jingzhou? How about we bring him back along the way? "
The older man suddenly sighed," Although we have the heart, we are powerless. Sigh! Who asked us to be servants? We have to act according to other people's expressions, so how would we dare to bring a stranger onto the ship? "
The girl also seemed to be a little melancholy as she said, "He's the only one in his family. It's very pitiful. It seems like the Jingzhou is very far from here. How can he go back alone?"
The older man said helplessly, "This is even more out of our control. He can only rely on himself."
The girl suddenly shouted, "Oh right, isn't there still a shortage of people on the ship? We can take him back, just say that he is a new worker. The old master and young lady would definitely not investigate carefully. They would let him go after arriving in Jingzhou. When others ask about him, say that he ran away. When the time comes, we will be in a hurry. They will not be able to investigate further. Isn't that good? "
The elder man opposed, "This matter cannot be allowed. If others know that you have Miss's protection or that you are fine, what will happen to us brothers?"
The girl said: "Eldest Miss and Second Miss are all kind hearted, even if they find out, they will definitely help him. Four uncles, even if Little Qing begs you, bring him back. Just say that it was the young miss who ordered me to look for a servant. No one else will dare to ask. I'll go talk to the young lady. "
The four of them seemed to love Little Qing dearly. After hearing her words, the older man said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, but when others ask about us, we don't know anything!"
Little Qing said happily, "Little Qing thanks the four uncles!"
The youngest man said, "Miss Little Qing, don't stand on ceremony with us. Who told you to be a relative of Second Brother Cai? We usually need you to take care of us. Just take it as us returning the favor to Miss Xiaoqing! However, we still don't know if he's willing or not?"
Little Qing mustered her courage and walked to the center of the cabin. She looked at Du Qi and said," You heard what we said, right? Are you willing to follow us back to Jingzhou on a big ship? "
Du Qi saw that although the four of them had a few pounds of strength, they did not know martial arts. They were servants of ordinary wealthy families, but the girl was just a little girl. Du Qi did not want to disturb their peaceful lives, but he did not have a place to go. It was much safer to stay on this boat than anywhere else, so he said gratefully, "Of course I want to, of course I want to! Thank you, thank you uncle, thank you little sister Qing! "
The older man carefully sized up Du Qi and asked, "But what kind of work can you do?"
Du Qi said with a straight face, "I can do anything?"
Little Qing said happily, "Then do you know how to wash vegetables, cut vegetables, cook vegetables, and cook dishes?"
Du Qi smiled and said, "This is a common occurrence. Every time I rush to the market, I have to go to the kitchen of the Gathering Ying Building in town to do odd jobs. Not only can I have a full meal, but I also have money to pay."
Little Qing said happily, "Okay, then you can go and be a cook. I can always look after you. It's safer than anywhere else. By the way, what's your name?"
Du Qi rushed out and said, "My name is Du Qi!"
Little Qing said in surprise, "What? You are also called Du Qi?"
Du Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "That's right. I'm also called Du Qi. Does Little Qing know someone called Du Qi as well?"
Little Qing smiled charmingly and said," No, no matter! Uncle, let's go back. "
The older man replied, "Okay!" After saying this, he slowly swayed the oar. Third Brother and the other two men kept the net while catching fish. Du Qi took the opportunity to go over and help, while Little Qing happily jumped to the side. It seemed that they were mainly playing with Little Qing, catching fish was secondary.
The small boat leaned against a large five-masted boat, not waiting for them to shout. A rope ladder hung down from the big boat, and the four men went to pack up the tools and prey on the boat. Little Qing led Du Qi up the boat and circled around to the stern. Enter! At the bottom of the ship, they found a man in his fifties with a greasy face. Little Qing said softly, "This is Master Hee, the head of the kitchen. Don't look at his fat and fierce face. Actually, his people are quite good. Don't worry! "
When she walked up to the man, Little Qing said with a smile, "Master Hee, this is a kitchen helper personally ordered by Eldest Miss. She specially ordered me to bring it to you. You are not allowed to bully him!"
Master Hee was standing at the end of the corridor. He had clearly seen Little Qing a long time ago. However, he pretended not to see her until Little Qing greeted him. He pretended to see Little Qing's appearance and called out happily, "Miss Little Qing, you're here? What did Miss Little Qing say? Since it was a kitchen attendant personally chosen by the Eldest Young Miss, then who would dare bully him? It was a small matter, so it was fine to call someone to say it. Why would Miss Little Qing personally make a trip?"
Du Qi saw Master Hee's fake face and insincere words. He guessed that the ship was not peaceful. He had barged in for no reason. Was it a blessing or a curse?
Little Qing did not have Du Qi's feelings. She seemed to enjoy Master Hee's words very much. She laughed and said, "How could Little Qing dare to slack off in the matter that Eldest Miss ordered? So she had to make a trip, haha!" As she spoke, she secretly bumped into Du Qi.
The reason Du Qi followed Little Qing onto the ship was because deep in his heart, he was already sick of the endless conflicts in the world.
