Chapter 952: Five-star chef appears
Three days later, Qin Hao brought Lu Su back home.
Lu Gong pulled Lu Su and looked at her again and again, and asked with concern: "Su Su, have you been happy these days?"
Seeing her sister's happy look, Lü Zhi said sourly, "Daddy, do you even need to ask? Isn't it written all over her face?"
"Oh, sister, what are you talking about?" Lu Su blushed and was too embarrassed to look at Qin Hao. The first three days of her wedding were like a dream to her. She didn't have to serve her parents-in-law, and her husband was gentle and considerate. He also cooked delicious food for her in various ways. Except for the more tiring nights, everything was an experience that Lu Su had never dared to imagine before.
When Lu Gong saw his daughter's rosy face, he knew that the couple was living a good life after marriage, so he turned to Qin Hao and said, "Son-in-law, my daughter Su Su is usually spoiled at home. I am sorry to cause you trouble."
"What are you saying, father-in-law? You have brought up Susu to be gentle and virtuous. It is a blessing for me to marry her." Qin Hao grabbed Lu Su's soft little hand and said with a smile.
"Haha, seeing that you and your wife are of one mind, I feel relieved as a father." Lu Gong stroked his long beard and laughed out loud.
"Come on, prepare the banquet. I want to have a few drinks with my son-in-law."
Soon, the servants prepared a family dinner, and Qin Hao and Lu Gong chatted while drinking.
Lu Zhi suddenly realized that her sister Lu Su barely touched her chopsticks, and asked in confusion: "Su Su, this mutton soup was your favorite in the past, why didn't you drink a single sip today? Did the cook not cook it carefully today?"
As she spoke, Lu Zhi took a sip, but didn't find anything wrong.
"No, sister, I just ate before coming here, so I don't have much appetite now." Lu Suke was embarrassed to say it, because Qin Hao always made delicious food for her recently, which spoiled her taste buds. She had no interest in the dishes made by these ordinary chefs.
"Really?" Lu Zhi looked at her sister suspiciously, but soon turned her attention back to Qin Hao.
"Brother-in-law, you said before that you would let us sell the colored glaze. Now the entire Shanfu County, and even the wealthy families from other places, have come to us to inquire about the situation. What exactly are your plans? Can you give me a glimpse first?"
Qin Hao put down the wine bottle and said seriously: "I plan to go to Xianyang in a few days. We can talk about anything after I come back."
When Lü Zhi heard this, her eyes lit up: "Are you planning to visit your father's good friend?"
"That's just one aspect." Qin Hao paused, and continued, "When His Majesty conquered the six kingdoms, he moved the nobles of the six kingdoms to Xianyang to gather the wealth of the world. If our colored glaze can become popular in Xianyang, then wouldn't we have the initiative to set the price?"
When Lu Gong heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, my dear son-in-law is right."
Lu Zhi's eyes also lit up when she heard this.
Only a hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Su's eyes, but she quickly covered it up.
After the return banquet, Qin Hao took Lu Su home. On the way back in the carriage, Qin Hao put his arm around Lu Su's shoulders and asked softly.
"Why are you so depressed, ma'am?"
Lu Su blinked: "My husband may have seen it wrong, I am not depressed."
Qin Hao pretended to sigh: "I didn't expect that my wife would be wary of me after only three days of marriage. But what did I do wrong to make my wife angry?"
"Why do you say that, my husband? You have been gentle and considerate to Susu these days. In Susu's heart, you are the best husband in the world, but..." Lu Su hurriedly wanted to explain.
"Just what?"
"Just the thought of parting with my husband"
Qin Hao asked doubtfully, "Why do you want to separate from your husband?"
"Isn't my husband going to Xianyang?"
"Don't you want to go with your husband?"
Lu Su stared at her for several seconds with her big, blinking eyes, and then asked in surprise, "My husband wants to take Su Su to Xianyang?"
"Yes, we are newlyweds, how can I bear to let my wife stay alone in the empty room?" Qin Hao put his arms around Lu Su's slender waist with a wicked smile.
"Husband, you are making trouble again." Lu Su said angrily with a red face.
"Could it be that my lady is willing to part with me only three days after our wedding?"
"This"
Two days later, Qin Hao took Lu Su and drove a horse-drawn carriage to Xianyang.
This trip can be considered as a honeymoon, so Qin Hao chose the "self-driving tour" method, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
From childhood to adulthood, Lu Su has always lived in Shanfu County. This is her first time to travel far away. Along the way, she is like a cheerful lark, looking at the new world outside curiously.
"Husband, if we travel this fast, will it delay our arrival in Xianyang?"
In ancient times, horse-drawn carriages were not comfortable to sit in, and traveling long distances was an extremely painful experience. In order to give Lu Su a good travel experience, Qin Hao drove slowly along the way, and whenever he arrived at a scenic spot, he would take Lu Su to stop and appreciate the scenery, and have a picnic from time to time.
As they only walked thirty or forty miles on average every day, Lu Su couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Qin Hao said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, my lady, just enjoy the scenery along the way, and I will take care of the rest."
"Oh." Lu Su didn't understand business matters, and out of trust in Qin Hao, she didn't say anything more.
After enjoying the mountains and rivers along the way, the two finally arrived in Sanchuan County. As long as they went west through Hangu Pass, they could enter the Guanzhong Plain, which would not be far from Xianyang.
Qin Hao and Lu Su checked into an inn in Sanchuan County. After they checked in, Qin Hao asked the waiter to take good care of the carriage. Then Qin Hao took Lu Su out shopping.
"My husband, do you think this is good-looking?"
"My husband, this hairpin suits you very well."
Women, no matter what dynasty they are from, have a natural love for shopping. They bought a lot of things along the way and kept shopping until the afternoon. It was not until Qin Hao suggested finding a tavern nearby to eat something that Lu Su stopped shopping reluctantly.
"Waiter, what special dishes do you have?" Lu Su had seen a lot of local customs and practices along the way with Qin Hao, and her personality was no longer as shy as before.
The waiter said proudly, "Let the two guests know that we have a chef in our restaurant who is good at everything. As long as you can name the dish, he can cook it."
"Oh? So powerful?" Lu Su became interested and looked at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao nodded slightly, indicating that she could order whatever she wanted.
Lu Su pursed her lips and thought for a while: "Well, then let's have some stir-fried beef, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, Dongpo pork, and a dish of green vegetables."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The waiter left for a while and came back with a man who was disheveled and smelled of cooking oil.
The man held a large spoon in his hand and looked at Qin Hao and Lu Su carefully.
"Who ordered the Dongpo pork?"
Seeing the man's aggressive attitude, Lu Su subconsciously sat closer to Qin Hao: "I ordered it, what's wrong? Can't you cook it? Didn't the waiter just say you can cook anything?"
"How did you know about Dongpo Pork?"
"My husband did it for me."
Qin Hao smiled the moment he saw the man. It was true that after searching for a long time, he finally found what he wanted. Gao Yao actually worked as a chef in this restaurant. But when you think about it, it makes sense. They are both suitable professionals. The skills of a five-star chef are undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow to the Qin Dynasty people.
Gao Yao looked at Qin Hao again, and when he found that it was not Yi Xiaochuan, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he still asked cautiously.
"How did you know about Dongpo pork?"
Qin Hao smiled and recited: "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky. I wonder what year it is in the palace in heaven."
With every sentence Qin Hao read, Gao Yao's eyes widened.
"You also traveled through time?"
Qin Hao smiled and nodded.
"My fellow countryman, you really are my fellow countryman. I am so happy to meet you." Gao Yao held Qin Hao's hand and burst into tears.
Lu Su was originally immersed in the poetry Qin Hao was reciting. When she saw Gao Yao excitedly calling Qin Hao a fellow countryman, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"My dear, is this your fellow countryman?"
"Yeah, we're from the same place."
Before Qin Hao could speak, Gao Yao spoke first.
Gao Yao saw Qin Hao in a brocade robe with a jade pendant hanging from his body and asked, "My fellow villager, you are doing well. What did you do before?"
"Ah, I used to work in the glass business, and I discovered that colored glaze was a valuable commodity in the Qin Dynasty, so I'm planning to go to Xianyang to open up sales channels." Qin Hao spoke nonsense in a serious tone.
Gao Yao slapped his thigh when he heard this and said, "Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have learned how to make glass. Why learn to be a cook? I almost got beaten to death when I traveled through time. I finally got a job as a chef. I work so hard every day and only earn so little money."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Su with envy, winked at Qin Hao and said, "Brother, you are so lucky."
"I haven't asked for your name yet?" Qin Hao pretended not to know the other person.
"Gao Yao, you can just call me Lao Gao." Gao Yao had no doubts.
"Qin Hao, then you can call me Lao Qin."
Qin Hao then invited Gao Yao again: "Old Gao, why don't you come with me to Xianyang to do the glass business in the future?"
"This"
Seeing Gao Yao still hesitating, Qin Hao patted his arm and said seriously: "It's rare to meet a fellow villager here. You and I are destined to be together. I just happen to be in need of a trustworthy person to help me. It's better to keep the wealth within the family."
"Well, I don't want to do this shitty job of serving people anymore. I'll go with you." After saying this, Gao Yao threw the big spoon to the ground, sat down opposite Qin Hao, and started eating the food in big mouthfuls.
During the conversation between the two, Lu Su had not interrupted, but now she leaned close to Qin Hao's ear and said, "Sir, your fellow countryman seems to be a little..."
"It's a little abnormal, right? It's okay. The people from our hometown are all a little different from ordinary people. You will understand after seeing them more often."
"Oh."
After eating and drinking, Qin Hao paid the bill, and Gao Yao went to confront the boss and said that he quit and wanted to be settled with the remaining salary. The tavern owner got anxious when he heard this. He first promised Gao Yao a salary increase, but when he saw that Gao Yao was unmoved, he wanted to use force.
Qin Hao stepped forward and punched the counter, making a hole in it. The tavern owner was frightened and had no choice but to pay the bill.
"Old Qin, how did you do that just now? I think that counter is quite sturdy." Gao Yao followed Qin Hao with his wages in his pocket.
"I practiced martial arts for a few years when I was a child." Qin Hao said casually.
"I knew it. I could tell you were a martial artist. Thank you. If you hadn't let me know, the owner of the tavern wouldn't have paid me so quickly. By the way, I'll go to where I live first, and then I'll come find you guys."
As soon as Qin Hao mentioned the name of the inn where he was staying, Gao Yao happily went back to get his luggage.
It was not until the evening that Gao Yao found Qin Hao's room carrying a lot of bags.
"I hope I didn't disturb your rest?" Gao Yao rubbed his hands and said to Lu Su embarrassedly.
Lu Su poured him some water and said with a smile, "Don't bother me. It's still early. You guys chat first. I'll go book a room for Mr. Gao."
Looking at Lu Su's departing back, Gao Yao sighed: "Ancient women were still virtuous."
Qin Hao joked: "Lao Gao, you can also find one."
Gao Yao shook his head when he heard this: "No, I still have to take care of my sister. I have to find a way to go back. If I get married here, I will hurt her."
Qin Hao secretly sighed to himself, thinking how simple and kind Gao Yao was at that time. If he had not been betrayed so badly by Yi Xiaochuan, he would not have turned evil and become Zhao Gao later.
"Can you go back after traveling through time?"
Gao Yao looked outside and after making sure that no one was around, he asked in a low voice, "Old Qin, how did you get here?"
"I was traveling and saw a lake, so I went swimming for a while. I was swept into an undercurrent, and when I woke up, I had landed on the execution ground. There seemed to be a buddy next to me, holding a mobile phone. I thought they were filming a movie, so I ran away as soon as I saw something was wrong." Qin Hao said half-truthfully.
Gao Yao frowned: "Do you remember what that person looks like?"
"He was tall and thin, wearing a black T-shirt on the upper body and jeans on the lower body. It was obvious from the way he was dressed that he had traveled through time."
Gao Yao became excited when he heard this: "Xiaochuan, it was him, there's no doubt about it. We were all sucked into the treasure box that day. Maybe you were also innocently sucked in by the treasure box."
"So how is he doing now?"
"I don't know about that, but later I saw a wanted poster for him posted at the city gate. He should still be alive."
Gao Yao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's good to be alive. It's good to be alive."
After a while, Gao Yao turned a bamboo building over on the table, which was filled with bronze artifacts.
"Old Qin, I remember that things from the Qin Dynasty are very valuable in our place. Look, these are what I saved. If I find a way to go back someday, I will bring all of these back with me. Then I will become rich."
Qin Hao joked, "Yes, there are so many cultural relics. Whether they are valuable or not is another matter. Anyway, you are definitely good enough to judge."
The smile on Gao Yao's face froze instantly: "Yes, if I travel back in time, I won't be able to explain it clearly."
Just when Gao Yao was filled with disappointment, Lu Su came back.
"Mr. Gao, your room has been booked. It's next door."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Go to bed early."
After Gao was about to leave, Lu Su asked Qin Hao suspiciously: "Just now I saw that Mr. Gao didn't look very well. Is he feeling unwell?"
"Nothing, maybe I miss home a little." Qin Hao said casually.
Hearing this, Lu Su walked up to Qin Hao, took the initiative to get into his arms, and murmured, "If you miss home, Su Su can go back with you."
"Okay, if there's a chance, I'll definitely take you back to have a look."
