Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Gu Qingyun nodded. At least he got a piece of information. He couldn't find out no matter how hard he tried. It turned out that these two shopkeepers were brothers with different surnames.

If someone hadn't said it directly, Gu Qingyun would never have thought in his life that those two people seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

"So, then how do you know that they are brothers with different surnames?" Gu Qingyun raised his eyebrows, looking forward to the answer.

The man looked at his wife, then at Gu Qingyun, and then hesitantly said, "In the past few years, I also participated in some not-so-presentable business, and I got to know a lot of people. When we go out, we are not brothers, not brothers, but we are willing to help each other, for fear that one day there will be no one to help us. By chance, I met these two people. When they swore brotherhood, there was quite a small movement, and almost few people knew about it. I also saw them by chance when I was eating in the same restaurant, but they didn't know, but I knew about it. So... please don't disclose this matter, Master Shaoqing."

Gu Qingyun cooperated and said, "The Dali Temple will naturally not speak nonsense."

"I didn't tell anyone in the Kyoto government about this because I was worried. If you hadn't asked about Madam Rong, I wouldn't have told you. No matter which madam it is, I just feel sorry for their situation."

As the man spoke, he secretly glanced at his wife and looked at Gu Qingyun as if asking for help.

Gu Qingyun could only pretend not to understand his eyes and asked again, "Then why put these two young ladies in two buildings? Didn't they say that if they appeared together, it would be more amazing?"

"I don't know about that, but I also know very little about their missions. Anyway, one of them practiced the dance of offering tea and wine, and the other practiced acrobatics, which required singing and dancing in the sky. When they were sold to Kyoto Prefecture, they were no longer children. They really suffered a lot when practicing these... I was considered a friend of the two shopkeepers at the time, so they often chatted with me. But when it came to the mission, they both kept silent at the same time, and I didn't know what the mission was."

The man kept biting his lower lip and his eyes were wandering. It was obvious that he was lying.

Gu Qingyun smiled and looked at him seriously, "If you really feel pity for the two young ladies, you should tell us the banned books you know. I know that what you are hiding may be too big, and it may lead to a capital crime. From now on, I say a word and you just nod and shake your head."

The man frowned and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Gu Qingyun said, "Ubang."

The man's pupils immediately dilated and he looked at Gu Qingyun in shock, as if he could never have imagined that he had been discovered by the Dali Temple.

So with a shocked expression, he nodded again.

Gu Qingyun asked again, "Leaving the country."

The man was extremely shocked again. It was a big deal to find out about Wubang, but how could he find out about Liguo as well?

The man pretended that his clothes were messy, and lowered his head hurriedly to straighten his clothes. He didn't nod, nor did he seem to shake his head.

Gu Qingyun understood his hint. Madam Rong was going to be sent to Wubang. The people of Wubang were strong, good at fighting, riding and shooting, so the dignified and entertaining tea-receiving dance and wine-receiving dance were very popular.

Moreover, the relationship between Wubang and Dayan Dynasty is tense, so Madam Rong needs sufficient fame to gain a foothold in Wubang.

But Li State is different. Apart from the Dayan Dynasty, Li State is the most prosperous and civilized country.

The people here value literature over military affairs, and there are many men of letters and scholars who have written many exquisite poems and articles.

The country has always been known for its gentlemanly conduct and has maintained friendly relations with the Dayan Dynasty for generations. In every dynasty, princesses would go to the Li Kingdom for marriage, and the Li Kingdom would also send princesses to the Dayan Dynasty.

Therefore, it would be best if Miss Xiaorong, who was sent to Liguo, could learn some acrobatics. If she could make everyone feel that she was as light as a swallow when dancing, she would be more popular with the people of Liguo.

……

In fact, Gu Qingyun had just guessed about Li Guo last night, and he said it now just to test the waters. He didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.

Less than half a month after the incident, Miss Xiaorong had been completely disfigured and her face could no longer be seen.

Fortunately, Bai Jinyu had learned the art of disguise for a period of time when she was a child. She took Bai Jinyu to the Kyoto government office. Bai Jinyu only looked for half a quarter of an hour before tearing off a piece of human skin from the mask. The person underneath was not Miss Xiaorong.

Only the face on the top bore the appearance of Madam Xiaorong, which scared everyone present.

The governor of Kyoto had never even heard of any disguise technique and was extremely frightened.

"I thought this was something from a picture book." The governor of Kyoto stepped back after seeing the face, and then asked, "Where is the real Miss Xiaorong???"

Bai Jinyu looked at the mask and said casually, "This kind of mask is most likely from Liguo. The people there are good at disguise. However... In addition to Liguo, Jiangliguo is also good at disguise. These two countries are originally of the same origin. There is only one place where you can see the difference between the two countries.

Liguo is close to the sea, so they like to use fish glue. Jiangliguo has many forests, so they like to use resin.

This dough has been damaged so badly that I can no longer tell what glue was used. "

The people in the Kyoto government and the Dali Temple were stunned. To be honest, they had heard of the art of disguise before, but it was the first time they saw with their own eyes that a layer of skin could be peeled off from a person's face.

It is really amazing that a small piece of skin can change a person's appearance to such an extent.

……

Gu Qingyun looked at the man and asked again, "Are they all still alive?"

The man lowered his head and never dared to raise it again. Gu Qingyun got a satisfactory answer and said, "Don't be afraid. If you have any questions, just come to the Dali Temple to find me."

It was not until Gu Qingyun and his companions walked out of the door that they heard the fierce woman inside starting to beat and scold her husband again.

"You feel bad for these little demons, why don't you feel bad for me?"

Gu Qingyun was not in the mood to listen at this moment. He walked out with his head down. It was time to go to the palace. He always felt that something was wrong. Currently, the only countries that could compete with the Dayan Dynasty were the Li Kingdom, the Wu Bang and the nomadic peoples in the north.

Other small countries are even less to be feared.

But since there are spies everywhere, Gu Qingyun is not sure what role these spies play for the Dayan Dynasty. He just feels a little confused. What is the point of sending people thousands of miles to these places?

Collude with foreign nations?

Or what kind of thing are you looking for?

Everything is unknown.

I'm afraid we won't be able to investigate it relying only on the Dali Temple and the Kyoto government.
