I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Chapter 35

Seeing Nian was still a little embarrassed. He hadn't seen strangers for a long time. Since he fell ill, his aunt often said that he wanted to rest in the house, and he rarely went out of the house.

When this person entered the house, Da Lang felt a little excited. Although, he went out to play with his friends every day, even if he couldn't go out to play, his aunt asked him to go out to work and do homework, and he was willing.

Seeing the doctor, Dalang's heart is moved, is the aunt really sure?

In the past few days, his throat was sore and he couldn't speak, but he knew that Lang was in the middle, and the corner of Da Lang's mouth brought a long-lost smile.

It's a pity that since I got sick last month, I have been stuffy in the house all day. The dilapidated and narrow house is suffocating, and the bedding has not been washed for a long time. It stinks in the summer.

In Dalang's heart, he will not treat the disease. He is worried about the doctor, and only hopes that the doctor will not dislike it.

This two-year-old self-esteem has been surging for a long time, but Zhao Heng said to him, "Why don't you open the window in such a hot weather?" The

woman sneered and said, "If you are sick, you have to stay at home. It's not good to stay in the house, the wind is blowing." The

old man frowned and said sternly, "How can this be done? It's easier to aggravate the condition if you stay in the house all the time. Go and open the window to let in the air!

" , went to the window, got rid of all the messy objects on the window, and took a lot of effort to open the window smoothly.

The strange smell in the open room blew away the coughing sound that had been blown away for many years.

Zhao Heng Tensei patted the dust on his palms and said, "It's much better now, isn't it hot in the summer?" The

old woman said, "This child is your patient?"

"Yes." The woman replied after a while, then sat on the stool and fanned with a fan, ignoring the two of them.

Fortunately, the doctor didn't go and turned to leave in a bad mood. He was afraid that his aunt would be dissatisfied, and struggled to get up from the bed.

Kan walked slowly to him, motioned him to lie down, and said, "It's alright, just lie down if you're not feeling well."

"Okay." Dalang stopped struggling and gave him his pulse obediently.

Judging from his spirit, he was in good spirits, and the disease on his body was not as serious as the woman had previously said, and only red bumps appeared on the exposed parts of his face and hands.

What the woman said earlier about vomiting, diarrhea and unclear speech is not the case, although the child does not appear to be terminally ill.

Zhao Heng wondered what to say about her, but what about the old child's illness? Possibly cured? "

Old his eyes and tongue, he said: "This doesn't seem so serious, it is because of staying in the house all day, go out for a walk if you have nothing to do, don't be bored at home all day. Also, did you eat something that shouldn't be eaten a few days ago? "

This symptom looks very similar to a case diagnosed before. The man was in the same state as Dalang at the beginning, or even more serious than him. If it can be determined that Dalang's disease is the same as before, it will be easier to handle. Now ,

Dalang has been recuperating in the house recently, and his aunt brought him food. He would eat whatever his aunt gave him to eat. A few days ago, his aunt gave him some delicious food!

Dalang's parents died early . , he lives in the second uncle and second aunt's house all the year round. He regards the second uncle and second aunt as his relatives next to his parents, so he trusts the second aunt very much.

Even if this is him, he can't think of anything, and he will answer If I don't come up, I can only say: "My food is all brought in by the second aunt, and I don't know. "

The woman was sitting on the side watching the doctor busy, and she was in the mood to grab a handful of dried fruit to eat, and while eating, she was shocked: Could it be that she was discovered?

Immediately comforting herself, it is impossible to be discovered, what she did was so secretive, even Dalang himself did not know, how could he know it by taking a pulse, she sneered, raised her head and said: "What I sent is normal. Eat food, what do you eat at home, where is your turn to be picky?"

Rolling his eyes, he pointed at Zhao Heng: "The only time I bought food from his stall, and then I got sick!"

"Okay!" The old man has a good temper, but when he treats the patient, he will never allow anyone next to him to make a fuss. He continues to ask: "What did you buy?" The

woman said: "Cold noodles..." Then she said loudly: "It's what he did for me that made Dalang sick! Don't you blame him or me for this!"

Zhao Heng couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped forward and said, "I have a clear conscience, I prepare fresh preparations every day. If you say that the food spoiled and moldy caused Dalang to get sick, I don't recognize it!" The

woman heard him say this, and the outsider said, "You have to recognize it if you don't recognize it! This is the fault of your family's food! Not only that, twenty taels of silver can be calmed down!"

"If you see who is right with me and who is right, do you dare?

" Back up, the man said, no matter what happened, the crime should be placed on this man.

Thinking about the money that person promised her after the thing was done, it was a full 12 taels of silver! In addition to the money obtained from some people, it will cost twenty or thirty taels of silver when combined, which is not a small sum of money.

After all, if the money really needs to go to the book, this is a glorious thing!

As for Dalang, let him go out to the wharf to fight the goods and earn money. After raising him for so many years in vain, it is only useful now. The money he spent at home has to be returned. Anyway, he is already in his teens. Now, I'm an adult, and it's time to go out and do my work.

"Okay, then let's go to the yamen now and end this matter." Zhao Hengtie was determined to go to the yamen. If she didn't have any ghosts in her heart, she was not afraid to go to the yamen to confront her face to face.

"Now...now?" The woman was just an ordinary old man who didn't dare to speak loudly, let alone the county magistrate. She didn't expect that it was just such a trivial matter that she would go to the county office.

I just said it casually. I didn't expect this young man to take her to the county office to explain the cause of the matter in front of the county magistrate. She couldn't help but be a little scared. It is said that the county office is very scary. A layer of skin can't come out.

"Let's do it now, I have something to do in the afternoon, bring Dalang and let's go."

Since I came here, I should have been bored in the house all day and didn't move around, and I didn't eat anything good and my immunity was low, so this happened. .

He turned around and asked, "Doctor, is there no major problem with this child? What kind of disease does this have?" The

old doctor stroked his beard and said, "It should be something I shouldn't eat. I have treated this before, if time If it's short, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"That's good, please give me a testimony and go to the county office with me ." "It's okay, just go once.

" , just stay in this stuffy room, and see there are other reasons behind it.

But no matter what, the child's body is weakening, and what kind of behavior makes him very disgusted.

The old man also has his own grandchildren, so he has a loving heart for his own children and other children. What I saw today, in the final analysis, might as well go to the county government office.

The child's uncle and aunt should be able to find a job at the age of a teenager if he lives at his uncle and aunt's house again.

If it really doesn't work, it's okay to let him go to his own hospital to do some errands, and there will always be a bite to eat, so he won't starve to death.

Lao Yi took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, and sat at the table with a pen to write a prescription for Da-Lang: "I'll give Da-Lang some medicine later, and it should be fine in a few days after I get the medicine."

Zhao Heng He reached out and patted Dalang's back, and asked him, "Can you get up?"

Dalang was only ten years old and had a lot of fears about the county government office. At this time, he heard a few adults say that he was going to the county government office, and he was even more afraid. But he knew that this was all because of himself, so he tried to straighten up: "Yes."

Seeing that he was struggling, Zhao Heng simply picked him up from the bed and put him on the edge of the bed to let him sit down: "Slowly. Slow, don't be afraid, going to the county office is a trivial matter, and I'll be back soon."

Zhao Heng knew the ancient people's reverence for the county office, so he softly comforted this young boy, just answer honestly. . "To

be able to manage Zhilan Town so well, the county magistrate will definitely be a year old. Zhao Heng straightened up and looked around for the woman who was standing just now. The

woman was just standing there, and she turned her head to the side, so she was worried when the doctor finished writing the pharmacy. Can't find anyone, how about taking money to treat the child's illness! In

this corner, she stretched her ears out to listen to the conversation of the two people in the room, and when the voice faded away, she turned around. When she turned around, she

looked at her face . When she came back, she smelled of alcohol, her face was flushed red, her eyes were blinded and unconscious. The

woman quickly supported her man and scolded him: "You know how to drink all day long! Drink, drink, why don't you drink to death! "The

man shook off her hand, muttering something, and stumbled into the house.

"Oh! Can you wake up?!" The woman yelled at him with sullen anger: "Stop for me!"

"Why... what's wrong with hiccup?" The man stared at his hazy eyes and went to sleep for a while. The

woman grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "It's coming soon!" "

Um... eh?" Where did the money come from? "

"Shh!" There are still other places at home, at least a dozen or two people can pull her to go to the county government office. My heart is full of money, a dozen taels of silver!

"And such good things?! Give me some when the money is in your hand. There are still a few jars of good wine in the tavern that I haven't tasted yet. How dare you say anything if you can't see it!"

"Yes, yes, husband. He said yes. But the two of them were still in Dalang's house, and they said they were going to the county office, husband and I would go with me."

"Hiccup!" After a hiccup, the man waved his hand and said, "No! Don't you have to go to bed without seeing me?" The

woman saw that he didn't get in the oil and salt, so she stopped wasting time on him, went to the yamen, and confessed to that person, anyway, that person instructed her, even if she finally found out The truth, as long as she bites her to death and doesn't change her mouth, what can she do to her!

Thinking so, she sent the man into the house and went to Dalang's house.

Dalang has already cleaned up, his body is much cleaner than before, and the smell is not as pungent as before. He is sitting quietly on the stool waiting for news of a few people.

The old man packed the medicine box, just as the woman came in, she said, "Let's go."

This time, the woman didn't say anything, just walked with her head sullen. The woman's house is very close to the North City, only a street away.

Therefore, they had to pass through Zhao Heng's booth. When the three came out of the courtyard, Zhao Heng was surprised to find that some good and boring people were still waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, preparing to watch this farce.

See Zhao Heng: "Hey! Little boss, what's going on?"

This short and fat man is a frequent visitor to Zhao Heng's stall, because he comes here a lot, almost every day, a few times. Sometimes it is for others, and sometimes it is for oneself.

Every time I come here, I like to talk to Zhao Heng a few more times, so Zhao Heng recognized this person at a glance.

Zhao Heng wondered: "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work today?" The

short and fat man waved his hand and said, "I'm still here to bring a meal to the workers today, who would have just come to see your little brother at the stall. I was packing things up and said that I didn't buy it anymore, so I was very surprised, why didn't I buy it when it was good. However, after seeing the people next to me, only then did I know that this kind of thing happened."

"Don't worry, the people in my family and My co-workers have eaten a lot of questions at your stall?"

Zhao Heng saw that it was not easy for him to rush back and forth, so he smiled and said to him, "I'm going to the county government now, and when the county magistrate gives a fair judgment, I can Open."

The words of old customers are sometimes more useful, and maybe they can say good things to themselves in front of the officials, and besides, he is not afraid of others saying that, even when he arrives at the county office.

"Okay, I'll go to the stall later!"

"Okay, it'll be cheaper for you then."

Lao Nian eats other foods. Originally, he had no interest in this young man's stall, but now he listens to this The short and stout man's words can't help but arouse a little curiosity, what kind of food is it?

Zhao Heng was carrying his medicine box on his back, and asked with a smile, what food did you buy? Is there any food suitable for people of my age? "

Zhao Heng replied: "It sells some pasta, which can be eaten at any age, but those with a bad stomach can't eat too much, otherwise they will easily get sick."

"Well, after this incident is over, I will also Let's try it. If it tastes good, I'll bring some home for my grandchildren's children to try."

"Okay, it's cheaper for you. Children tend to be noisy and skip meals in summer. This is just right for summer. , some people who have a hard summer can eat it."

Seeing the conversation, the woman felt resentment in her heart, and said resentfully: "It's just that broken thing, there are still people willing to spend money to buy it, scoff." After

walking a few steps, they arrived. On the North City, to go to the county office, you have to go through the North City, go out from the entrance of the North City, and go all the way to the county office.

Jiang Yuan had already packed up the things on the stall, and was about to go to the storage bank in Beishi.

He quickly put down the cart in his hand, picked up Zhao Haha and greeted him: "What's the matter, where are you taking people now?"

When Zhao Heng saw it, he walked faster and came to him: "It's nothing major, Even if you go to the county government office, don't go to the store, put the cart on the stand next to it and let people have a look."

Jiang Yuan didn't ask more, anyway, after waiting for a while, he knew the cause and effect: "Okay. "

Please ask the old man at the stall selling Chaos next door, Jiang Yuancai rest assured and went to the county office with Zhao Heng and others.

It takes about a quarter of an hour to get to the county government office. It is very close to the North City. At this time, a huge team followed not far behind the group. They were all idle and bored people, and they all followed a few people to the entrance of the county government office.

There is a pair of very mighty stone lions at the entrance of the county government office, and the big drums look inside. This is needed when there is an unjust case, and Zhao Heng is a trivial matter of the merchants, and generally does not need to use the drums.

The yamen at the door was invited to come in to report a case. The yamen was a tall man. Today it was his turn to be on duty. He was sweating profusely.

Although a few pennies of copper coins, the yamen said: "You wait and wait here, I'll report it right away."

"Okay, trouble."

After about a stick of incense, the yamen came back, "Sir Sitting in the hall, you can go in. Only those who are related to the case can enter, other people can't go in, see Fang: "Well, you can see it over there. After the

crowd heard his words, they dispersed from the main entrance, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of case is this, it's so lively. Having

said that, he saw what was going on in his heart, but unfortunately it was still on duty, so he couldn't leave at will.

Just as he was thinking that the strong man happened to be here, he hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother, take care of me for a while!" I'm going to go see a fun! "

"You can't correct this problem, just wait for the master to deduct your wages!" The person who came smiled and punched his shoulder: "This is the last time, come back soon!" "

"Come on, don't worry, I'll be right back, I promise not to let the master bookkeeper find out!" "After saying this, he ran to the side and mixed into the crowd.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to get closer, but the main reason was that the master clerk sitting in the main hall would find him sneaking out, or come when he was sentencing the case. Watching the fun, he found out that at least half of this month's wages have to be deducted! That's half! It's not a small amount of money, he will definitely go back immediately after finishing!

"Clap! With a sound, his mind was called back, and the master clerk said sharply: "Which merchant? What is it? "

Zhao Heng hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "It's my family's food stall, my name is Zhao Heng, and I'm at No. 23, District C, Beishi. The reason for this is that she was busy at the stall, and this sister-in-law came and said she ate it. My family's food has made the child sick, and she also said that her child vomited and had diarrhea, and couldn't speak clearly. I said that if it was really because of my family's food, I would definitely be responsible to the end."

"Of course, this is the one. Zhao Heng pointed to the white-bearded old man next to him, and continued: "We went with this sister-in-law to the sick child in her house, her family's eldest son, that is this."

Dalang's fingers were tightly squeezed . The hem of his clothes came cramped to himself.

"Then, the sister-in-law said that if her child can't be cured

, I will pay fifteen or twenty taels of silver to make up for it, but I don't want to. Was the cause of her child's illness caused by the food I made? , I don't know, that's why everyone came here today, please make a fair decision."

Hearing Zhao Heng speak, he was cut off by a woman's voice.

"Nonsense! It's not like that!"

"Shut up! Don't talk if your lord doesn't ask you!"

It was very scary to be tall. After hearing this reprimand, the woman immediately fell silent and did not dare to continue to say more.

The master pondered for a while, and said, "Who can prove that what you said is true? Are there witnesses?"

Zhao Heng looked at it without hesitation: "This one went with me to that sister-in-law's house, this man is lying on the bed, but we He didn't avoid him when he spoke, and he knew it."

"Oh? Let's talk about it specifically." When this young man was young, he worked as a doctor in a medical clinic in Zhilan Town. Cang Cang, not young.

The master was also a little worried that the familiar Langzhong Langzhong sat down and said. "

"Yes. The person next to him took the order, hurried to get the stool, brought it to the old man, and motioned him to sit down.

The old man bowed slightly to thank him, then sat down and said, "That's right, he is right." , without exaggeration. "

The master asked Dalang again: "Tell me, what have you eaten these days?" How did you get sick? Is what the boss said just now true? Dalang pinched the

corner of his clothes, Nuonuo said: "Before... I was sick a few days ago, and my aunt let me stay in the house, and my aunt brought me the daily meals. "

"Did you get sick a few days ago?" What's the disease? "

Yes, my aunt said it was a cold, and she said it would be good to sweat in the house. I listened to my aunt's words, so I stayed in the house all the time." The

clerk paused and said, "Then what is the food your aunt gives you every day?" Is there something special? "

"I eat whatever I do at home every day." Something special..." Dalang thought, and said, "The noodles my aunt gave me one day was very delicious, I don't know what it was called, but it was cold and there was no hot soup. "I

got what Dalang said, Zhao Heng: "Is this food something from your family? "

"Yes, it's my family's food." " Zhao Heng replied: "But if it is said that the quality of the food is the problem, I don't recognize it. The

master raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that this case was an ordinary case, but now Kanban has something else to say: "What? "

"I use the freshest ingredients to eat every day, and the food on the stall never stays overnight, so it will never go bad or moldy, and I have never heard from familiar customers that someone has a stomachache after eating it. Besides, When this sister-in-law came to my stall, she was not talking about the quality of the food I made, but about the red bumps on the patient's face and hands, vomiting and diarrhea."

Zhao Heng looked at it and continued: "Go. When this sister-in-law was at home, we found that Dalang's health was not as bad as she said, and his illness was not that intractable. As for the symptoms of red bumps on hands and faces, the doctor said that he had received such symptoms before. Patient, please let the doctor tell me the specific situation, I don't understand this very well."

The master raised his arm, indicating that the old man could speak.

The old man stroked his beard and said slowly: "I did receive such a patient before. At that time, his condition was even more serious than that of Dalang. There were red bumps all over his body, not only that, it was very serious.

" Later, I found out in an ancient book. This situation is most likely caused by eating something that should not be eaten. The book says that a small number of people in the world should be very careful about what they eat. Among these people, some people There are symptoms of this kind of disease on fruits, some are leaves, some are catkins, once you eat or touch them accidentally, you will have varying degrees of itching, redness, swelling, and other symptoms."

"These things are completely uncontrollable, It was brought in the mother's womb, and most people are fine, only these few symptoms, such as redness, swelling, itching, nasal congestion, coughing, all told adults that this is a child belonging to a small group of people.

" This long discussion, the master slightly understood, and asked the board's food. "

Yes, it can be understood in this way, please make a fair decision. "

Zhao Heng said: "Sir, things are clear. If there are people who still have doubts, I can prove that my food is no problem." "

"To be fair, big guy, which one of the food on my stall is better? Which one will be sick and bedridden after eating?" The lively crowd

outside shouted even louder, "No!"

Said: "There's really no such thing! I think it's cheating people's money!"

This board looks to find fault these days!

The master also felt that it was quite reasonable. There is indeed something wrong with this woman. If Dalang is ill, why not ask the doctor and just let him be bored in the room? Every family in Zhilan Town is rich, and ordinary people can save a lot of money to hire a doctor.

What's more, I really don't know whether the woman put something into the food before giving it to Dalang. These are all debatable. He turned his eyes to the woman: "If you have anything to explain, just tell me."
