After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Chapter 109 Cooperation
The young master of a big family is very generous. First he invited Su Huaili to be his personal bodyguard and promised a lot of medicinal materials. Now he invited her to be a chef and promised a lot of money.

Maybe she would have agreed if she were alone, but she wasn't.

In this era of war and chaos, once she leaves her family, she doesn't know how long it will take for her to see them again. Although they are both in Lingnan, they can't see each other often.

She would rather endure hardships with her family than be separated from them. Even if she didn't get through it in the end, she would still be with her family, which gave her peace of mind.

Moreover, cooperation is safer than being a chef. Why didn't she choose cooperation instead of a private chef who was controlled by others?

Wu Yongwei looked at Zhou Shitang with bright eyes, "Yes, that's it. What do you think? You don't want your family to suffer here, right?"

"I heard that people often die here, either from exhaustion or from illness. If you leave with me, you can also use money to manage things privately, so that they can do some easy work and no one will make things difficult for them." Wu Yongwei was moved by his feelings. Reason.

Rather than cooperate, he hopes that Zhou Shitang will be his personal chef. In one word, it is convenient.

Zhou Shitang looked calm and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked first: "There are more than a dozen people in our family. Without using the family power behind you, can you take our family away with your own ability?"

It will be much easier to negotiate if you first ask for something he cannot do and then ask for something simple.

Wu Yongwei didn't expect Zhou Shitang to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment. He still had a clear understanding of his own abilities, and he couldn't do it.

He was embarrassed to say, "No, I can't do it."

Without the help of his father, his abilities alone are limited.

Zhou Shitang spread his hands, "So, this is my answer."

Wu Yongwei understood that Zhou Shitang agreed to be his chef only if he could take her family out of here with his own ability.

However, this is too difficult.

His father might be able to do it, but it's obvious that the Zhou family doesn't want anything to do with his family.

Wu Yongwei was instantly frustrated and his shoulders slumped.

He invited people twice, but was rejected both times, which was so frustrating. After all, he was also a martial arts master, but they avoided him.

Zhou Shitang cleared his throat and drew Wu Yongwei's attention back, "We can cooperate. I think cooperation is the safest way."

The relationship is neither too close nor too far, which is more appropriate.

Wu Yongwei sighed. People were unwilling to leave with him, so he couldn't force them. "Tell me, how can we cooperate?"

Zhou Shitang: "I will cook delicious food for you. All you need to do is provide me with some grain or money. The grain is nothing more than rice, flour, grains, oils and vegetables. It doesn't have to be too expensive. We don't have to choose, as long as we can eat it."

"If there are medicinal materials, we can also provide them. How much do you think the delicacies I cook are worth, you pay me the corresponding price of food and medicinal materials." Zhou Shitang asked Wu Yongwei to evaluate the price of the delicacies by himself.

Huh, not everyone can eat the delicacies she made by herself.

If the cooperation can be successful, their family's food will be solved. They don't have to go out to find food every day. They can spend more time practicing martial arts. With the help of medicinal materials, martial arts training will get twice the result with half the effort.

Wu Yongwei felt that Zhou Shitang's requirements were not high, or even very low. He agreed without thinking, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you."

Zhou Shitang's cooking skills are really good. Even the food prepared by the best chef in the largest restaurant in Jingzhou Prefecture cannot compare to hers.It's a pity that he doesn't want to leave her to be his personal chef.

Wu Yongwei thought for a while and added, "If I want to eat it, I will bring the ingredients to cook it for you. I will also bring you food and medicinal materials of equal value."

Zhou Shitang nodded, "I can give you a name for the dish and what ingredients are needed. Just bring it over. The seasonings are basically what you brought over today. Did you bring the paper?"

Wu Yongwei: "I brought it here. I only brought paper, but not the ink pen and inkstone."

He had carried so many large and small bags that he really couldn't hold so many things. Zhou Shitang could write with charcoal anyway, so he didn't want to bother.

Zhou Shitang made a small request, "Can I make a list of medicinal materials?"

Wu Yongwei nodded. He took out a few pieces of paper from his arms. The paper was yellow and relatively expensive. He handed the paper to Zhou Shitang.

Zhou Shitang took it and vaccinated him in advance, "You also know that I am a prisoner now. I have to work in the future and will not be at home during the day. I can cook up to two dishes for you a day."

Wu Yongwei frowned slightly, then relaxed for a moment, "Then when will you start working? After you need to work, I will come to find you at night."

"I heard that work will start next month." After Zhou Shitang finished speaking, he added, "It's so dark at night that we can't see. Our family is too poor to afford an oil lamp, so we may need you to provide an oil lamp."

Wu Yongwei felt that this was not a problem and agreed generously.

Zhou Shitang returned home with the paper, picked up the unused charcoal yesterday, and wrote a bunch of dish names on a piece of paper, including the ingredients needed.

There are medicinal materials written on a piece of paper. These medicinal materials are not only the medicinal materials needed for the two martial arts training prescriptions, but also some other medicinal materials that may be useful.

She exchanged labor for property, and she didn't feel guilty at all.

Wu Yongwei picked up two pieces of paper, glanced at them casually, and found that he had never heard of many dish names, but this did not hinder his imagination. With the skills Zhou Shitang showed today, the other dishes she made would definitely be delicious as well. .

No, I can't think about it anymore, he's so hungry.

Wu Yongwei put away the two pieces of paper, said hello to other Zhou family members and left in a hurry.

Zhou Yancheng and others knew that the cooperation was successful when they saw Zhou Shitang's writing. They all looked at Zhou Shitang with burning eyes, hoping that she would give an accurate answer.

Zhou Shitang smiled and nodded, "If the cooperation is successful, food will be provided in the future."

The Zhou family cheered excitedly, this was simply great.

Zhou Shiye, who was sitting on the pony, almost jumped up, "Do you no longer need to eat wild vegetables in the future?"

Zhou Shitang said honestly: "Maybe we still need to eat, because we don't know when Wu Sanlang will come, and we don't know how long the food he paid us will last. Maybe when he gets tired of eating, he won't come over, no matter how delicious it is. There will be a day when you get tired of the delicious food.”

Zhou Shiruo was in a good mood and rolled his eyes at Zhou Shiye, "At least it's not just wild vegetables. That's good. People can't be too greedy. If you are too greedy, you will lose your original happiness."

Zhou Shiye curled his lips, knowing that his sister was right, so he didn't refute it.

Zhou Shitang walked into the kitchen. She made shrimp casserole and cracked five or six eggs. There were still some egg yolks left, a bunch of seasonings, and a bunch of chicken offal.
