2442 I didn’t expect it at first
The next morning, Zheng Qiu heard a knock on the door when he was stretching in the courtyard. It was fourth uncle Gu’s men who had brought in the table, chairs, cutlery, and other utensils.....
The messenger left after settling Zheng qiuan down.
Looking at the two round tables that could seat ten people, Zheng Qiu sighed. It was going to be a busy day.
She was not a procrastinator. After washing up, she made herself a simple breakfast and went out to get the ingredients.
She met third aunt du on the way.
“Young master Zheng is buying vegetables! I didn’t think that young master Zheng would be someone who knows how to live!” After exchanging a few words, third aunt du said with a smile.
“Mr. Du, you’re too kind. It’s just that we have a guest coming tonight, so we prepared so many dishes.” Zheng Qiu explained.
“So it’s like this! He had never thought that the first person he would meet in the capital would be master Zheng. I wonder if young master Zheng can handle it on his own? I’ve brought a cook with me this time, he can help you prepare dinner.” Third aunt du said with a smile as she looked at the cart full of meat and vegetables in Zheng Qiu’s cart.
Zheng Qiu’s eyes moved. She might not be able to handle two tables of food alone. Xinxin said that she, sisi, Xue ‘er, and en’ Zi could help, but they were guests. She couldn’t really let them do it.
She looked at third aunt du and said,”boss du, it’s like this. I’ll be inviting third Gu’s family to our house as guests.” You know third young lady Gu, general Lu, and the fourth young master. It’s better to meet by chance than to invite them. Why don’t you come to our house as a guest, Mr. Du?”
Third aunt du was stunned and then readily agreed, ” “Alright. Then give me your address. I still have some things to do. I’ll bring the chef over after lunch. Have you prepared everything you should have at home?”
Zheng Qiu nodded and said,”yes, I have.” Then I’ll be waiting for boss DU’s arrival.”
Third aunt du smiled and said a few words, then the two separated.
On the way back, Zheng Qiu was thinking that since he had the help of the chef, he would only need to cook the dishes himself when the dishes were ready. It would not be troublesome.
There were 17 dishes on the table. It wasn’t much, but it was a little troublesome to prepare.
It just so happened that third aunt du would bring the chef over in the afternoon, so when Xinxin and the others came, they wouldn’t need to help in the kitchen.
Oh right, there was also white shirt. This man had brazenly expressed his desire to pursue Mr. Du, so he should give him a favor.
After Zheng Qiu returned home, he knocked on the door next door and asked the bailiff who was working at the Yamen to go to the Gu family to inform Gu Xin that she had met third aunt du from Qi ‘an town and had invited her.
The bailiff naturally did not know what he meant, but Zheng Qiu believed that Gu Xin would definitely understand.
As expected, when the bailiff went to work in the afternoon, he made a trip to the Gu residence.
After Gu Xin heard the news, she immediately sent someone to look for Bai Yi.
Recently, Bai Yi didn’t appear often, but everyone knew that he was in the capital. The only people who could find him were naturally second white and the others.
Gu Xin even complained to Gu si and Gu yingxue that Xiao Qiu was quite smart. She knew to call her Bai Yi the moment she saw Mr. Du. He was not the cold and heartless little coroner that he appeared to be.
What she did not know was that Zheng Qiu had only wanted to borrow someone else’s chef so that they would not help out in the kitchen and have some fun. He had never thought of helping Bai Yi.
