Chapter 1142 I'm the Same as You
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Guo ordered to stop, rest for the night, and set off the next morning.
As soon as they mentioned taking a break, the crowd immediately split into two groups.
We have an orderly division of labor here.
Some were cooking, some were collecting firewood to find water, some were setting up tents... no one had a complaint.
Those who just came down from the mountains are different. They sit down on the ground and don’t want to get up.
Keep complaining about being tired.
"Damn it, this isn't a job for humans. Do we have to travel like this when escorting the caravan in the future? This job doesn't look easy!"
"That's right. I never thought that walking could be so tiring. I was never that tired even when I was a bandit in the mountains!"
"What are you talking about? You are a bunch of lazy people. Look at others. Were they not born by mothers? Why don't they complain about the hardship and fatigue? Why can't you? Hurry up and don't embarrass the boss. Don't let people look down on you. Otherwise, get out of here and go back to the mountains."
Wu Lazi's face really didn't look very good.
Normally you can't see the difference, but now you can see it. How come these bandits can't even match a finger of the others?
Zhou Guo said, "This won't work. If they want to be useful, they have to be like my people. In my team, they can make noise, shout, eat and drink, but the prerequisite is that they have to have the ability and complete the assigned tasks properly. If they keep being lazy like this, I will have to let them go."
She doesn't have that much energy to support idle people.
Wu Lazi said: "I understand, I will make them better."
Zhou Guo changed the subject and said, "Since they have just arrived, I can give them some space to grow. Three months. If they still can't make it in three months, Boss Wu, you have to let them go."
Wu Lazi's face sank, "I know."
It was really unexpected. She felt like she was on a pirate ship during the day, but she didn't expect that this so-called "pirate ship" was not something they could get on whenever they wanted, and they might even be driven off. How could this be possible?
Such a good place, she would definitely get herself there even if she had to ask for help.
She straightened her skirt and strode over.
Wu Jiang looked at her impetuous back and asked Zhou Guo, "If these people really can't do a good job, will you let them go back to the mountain?"
Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows, "Who said that? If you can't stay at the escort agency, then you can't stay at the manor? If you can't do the escort agency well, you can do one thing, like farming, composting, growing goat mushrooms, flower mushrooms and ground berries, right? Even if you can't do these, can't you go and collect night fragrance and ashes?"
She has more than one job to do. There is a shortage of people everywhere. If there is not enough space here, there will be other places where they can be employed.
Few people are willing to do the job of pulling night incense because they all dislike the smell.
Wu Jiang smiled, "Master is really thoughtful. It's rare to have so many people here. We can't let them go."
Dashu and Xiaoshu helped Chef Zhang, and several personal soldiers began to prepare the place where Zhou Guo would stay at night. The four personal soldiers had followed Xu Xiushan all year round, and they had set up a comfortable tent before dinner.
Zhou Guo looked it over inside and out and said, "This is much better than what I built myself. It won't leak even if it rains at night."
We had noodles, chicken noodle soup, and chicken and duck in the evening.
Chef Zhang's apprentice dug up some fresh wild vegetables from somewhere, blanched them and put them on the noodles, and also put a few poached eggs in them. It was very fragrant and Zhou Guo couldn't help but salivate.
In such cold weather, being able to eat a bowl of steaming hot noodles in the wild is something I would rather exchange for meat.
Although there was not much noodles, it was enough for Zhou Guo to eat, and Wu Jiang and the others could each get a small bowl.
This small bowl plus a piece of bread is enough for dinner.
Everyone enjoyed the meal with relish.
Zhou Guo simply sat in front of the pot and ate.
Chef Zhang thought it looked ugly and couldn't help but said, "Sir, why don't you just eat it from a bowl? Not only is it inconvenient, but you're still a girl."
"Click." A sound came from the side.
Everyone looked over and saw Wu Lazi staring blankly at Chef Zhang, then at Zhou Guo, "You, you, you, who are you saying is the daughter?!"
Chef Zhang slapped himself on the mouth.
Zhou Guo said: "You heard it right, he was talking about me, I am the same as you."
Wu Lazi was startled again, and quickly lowered her head to look at herself, and asked after a while: "How did you know that?"
Zhou Guo said calmly: "I started wearing men's clothes when I was eight years old. I can tell someone like you at a glance."
The figure is too good to be covered.
Wu Lazi had been through too much stress today. Looking at Zhou Guo's androgynous face, she really didn't want to say anything. How could someone look like this?
From this perspective, he really doesn't look like a girl at all. He is just a handsome and elegant man. How can he be a girl?
She is also a woman, how come I can't see that?
Seeing her speechless, Wu Jiang kindly said, "Not only you can't tell, anyone who doesn't know her identity can't recognize her."
Everyone thought he was a young master.
Zhou Guo nodded, "It's normal that you didn't recognize me."
At first, she wore men's clothes and found it very convenient, but later she couldn't change it. Everyone started calling her Gongzi. So a Gongzi is a Gongzi, and a female Gongzi is also a Gongzi.
Wu Lazi was so shocked that she couldn't help but sit closer. If Wu Jiang hadn't stopped her, she would have gotten close to his face.
She looked him up and down again and again, but still shook her head and said, "I really can't tell. I don't know what you look like in women's clothes. Sir, have you ever worn women's clothes?"
Zhou Guo asked her back, "Have you ever worn women's clothes?"
Wu Lazi smiled and said, "Of course I have worn it. My grandchildren are so old now, how could they not have worn women's clothes?"
Zhou Guo nodded. Seeing that she was staring at him, he pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit back."
"Hey." Wu Lazi immediately shrank back, picked up the cake that fell on the ground and continued eating. Fortunately, she held the bowl of noodles tightly, otherwise she would not be able to finish this bowl of noodles.
While eating, she looked at Zhou Guo with a smile. Since he was a young lady, she didn't have to worry at all. She would definitely follow Zhou Guo wholeheartedly in the future.
Wu Jiang could hardly stand her gaze, it was so direct and creepy.
Zhou Guo, on the other hand, was eating with relish. Just watch, it won’t cost you a thing.
Chef Zhang especially admired Zhou Guo's determination and couldn't help but say, "Young Master is somewhat similar to the general in some ways."
Zhou Guo was startled, "What aspect?"
Chef Zhang said, "I can't say in what way, but they are somewhat similar."
Zhou Guo didn't ask any more questions. Of course they were somewhat similar. If not, how could she get along so well with the Xu family?
To be a family, they must have certain similar traits.
She finished a pot of noodles and felt a little full, so she stood up and walked around to digest the food.
Although Chef Zhang was happy, he also complained: "If you can't eat it, then don't eat it. It's not like there's nothing left. Don't you feel bad eating like this?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "I will definitely not eat like this next time."
She had been hungry in the mountains for so long that her enthusiasm for food had not yet subsided. She would finish everything in her bowl and would not leave any food on the table.
