I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Chapter 67

"But last night, I was lucky to have Cheng Lang and his group of little men to help me, otherwise I really couldn't catch the little thief myself."

"Really!" Jiang Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Then I must give a good reward. A little hero!" I don't know where they got so much courage, a few ten-year-old children dared to catch a thief.

After that, the two entered the kitchen together, preparing for a whole day's food business. The man on the other side who was locked in the firewood room was already at night.

Out of a ghost in his heart, the man didn't dare to fall asleep, he just kept his spirits up and was alert to all kinds of things around him. He remembered that he was here to steal, and in this situation, he was discovered and knocked unconscious.

The night before, he was a little angry that the food accessories were not kept in the stove, causing him to run for nothing and planted in the hands of a group of yellow-haired boys.

Thinking of the fear of being dominated by sticks, Niu Fuluo couldn't help beating and still hurting. The next time he sees those children, he has to beat them all!

Niu Fuluo was so tightly bound that he couldn't move at all. But now, seeing a ray of light outside the door, he still hurried to the door.

From the exposed crack of the door, there are two children outside the door, bending over to pick up the firewood on the ground, which is to be sent to the stove, so the two of them are very serious.

They knew that there was a thief in the house, so they didn't get too close. While they were picking them up seriously, they suddenly heard a voice from the woodshed.

The voice sounded full of energy: "Hey, child, open this door and I'll give you candy." Niu Fuluo thought that a piece of candy was enough to tempt the two children, so there was an order in his tone.

The two children glanced at each other, then made a face at the firewood house door at the same time: "Slightly Slightly!"

They wouldn't believe what he said. Yesterday they saw it with their own eyes. This man jumped out of the window in the kitchen!

He must have done nothing good, and he has already stolen it from their boss, which is even more unforgivable!

The two little men grinned at the door of the firewood room and said with a smile, "If you have the ability, come out on your own!"

"You stinky child!" Niu Fuluo was half-dead from their anger, and he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart, if it wasn't for him At the beginning, he coveted those silver coins, and now he would not end up in such a miserable situation.

Looking at the dark wood shed in front of him, Niu Fuluo couldn't help but feel a little cold after hitting him. He had been locked in the wood shed for one night.

The firewood house was originally located in the corner of the yard, and it was shady all year round. After such a long time, he was already feeling a little uncomfortable. In addition to the thin flying sawdust in the house, his nose was itchy.

With his hands tied behind his back, Niu Fuluo could only endure it. Those few made him so miserable, and when he goes out, he will definitely have to take revenge for this another smooth!

It's just a small restaurant, but he is supported by his sister and brother-in-law. Are you afraid that he will fail? Even in court, the magistrate must give his brother-in-law some face.

When the time comes, I invite my sister to lobby my brother-in-law, and he must not even have to go to jail. Thinking of this, he felt a little smug in his heart, even if he was caught, what would he do, in the end he didn't want to let him go in vain.

Because it's so boring here, I can't get rid of these knots now. In short, the final result is the same, even if he doesn't leave, it doesn't matter.

Niu Fuluo has always been a big-hearted person, so he didn't care too much about the consequences at this time. He was bored and found a comfortable position, resting his head on a piece of wood.

When he woke up again, the light outside the door was gone. He looked up and glanced out. It should have been the afternoon.

The sun hasn't completely set yet, but it's just a shady place here, so it's a bit dark now. As he was lying down, he saw the tightly closed wooden door open with a creak.

The person who came was the owner of the store. He received Wang Hongyou's money, and naturally he would do things for him, otherwise he would be sorry for the morality of the rivers and lakes. Niu Fuluo thought he was very free and easy, he said: "Yo, here it is?"

Zhao Heng sneered and said to him: "Today's business is a little too busy and I came to be a guest, what are you planning to ask for?"

Niu Fuluo I don't care in my heart, in short, he will be fine, and now I don't bother to talk too much nonsense with this person. If I hadn't lost money in the casino, I wouldn't be able to do things for others.

"Recently, the business of this restaurant is really tight!" Niu Fuluo thought about Wang Hongyou's heavy money, and he couldn't help but feel more confident.

If it's a big deal, just give him some money and let the boss let him go.

Recently, the gambling debt of the casino has come to an end. He is in urgent need of money, and he dare not tell his grandmother and sister at home. Those people said that if he didn't pay back the money on time, he was going to cut off his hand, and for this hand, he had to earn Wang Hongyou's money.

Seeing his unrepentant appearance, Zhao Heng didn't want to entangle him too much in his heart. It's better to send this kind of person to the government, so as to save him the trouble of asking him.

"Well, if that's the case, then go to the government and let the adults decide." After speaking, Zhao Heng turned and left, went to the front lobby, and called Cheng Lang and his group of young men.

As those who caught the thief, they must go to the government. Anyway, it's closing now, and there are few customers left in the store. It's enough to leave Brother Yuan and the others to watch the store in the store.

Together with Cheng Lang and the others, they went to the firewood house in the backyard. Several older men helped Zhao Heng, and together they were ready to turn this man to the government.

As soon as he left the lobby, a good-hearted guest asked curiously, "Boss, what's wrong with this person, are you planning to go to the government?"

Zhao Heng raised his head and smiled, hitting the man, this man sneaked into our kitchen Fang, I don't know what I want to steal. No, I just got this person and sent it to the government for trial. "

The man was very worried: "What did this man steal?" "If this man stole Boss Zhao's recipe, then where would they go to eat such authentic food? You

know, since Boss Zhao was on Queqiao Street, there are many people who want to imitate these food.

I heard it at the time . I've said it a few times, but the taste is too different from You Yishun's here. After a while, those merchants gave up.

I don't know who is so immoral, and even thought of stealing other people's recipes to make money for food, but it's really sad. The things a person stole is considered, and there are other instructions behind what this person does. It's

not that he thinks too much, but this business thing, not just a few things. Except Fang Zi, he really can't think of what he wants to come here to steal. Now, it can't be to steal something that hasn't been cooked well.

Zhao Heng thought the same thing as he thought, the matter of the recipe is very important to make it easier for Brother Yuan to learn. He bought a blank a few days ago. The book, I have transcribed it again.

If this person finds out, it will be a serious loss. Although this person did not steal anything, it is better to send it to the official in this situation, so as to avoid any bad people coming out. After a few more polite

words with the guests, Zhao Heng turned to Jiang Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, time is limited, so I will go to the government first. If you are too busy, you can ask Brother Ning. They help you. "

"Well, well, you can go quickly, so as to save a while when you come back late, my mother told me that she wanted me to go back earlier." "I've been in town for the past few days and haven't gone back.

Although he has a clear conscience, his mother is still worried. No matter what, he must return to the village today.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Heng suddenly woke up in his heart. Jiang Yuan is a little brother, or a big boy who has not married. He doesn't go home every day. What is it like to live with him?

If it is known, it will damage the reputation of Yuan Ge'er. Fortunately, no one paid attention to this matter, otherwise it would be troublesome.

He even forgot about such important events, he has been so busy these days that he has lost his mind! When he thought that his impression score in Ama Jiang's heart might be low, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He also thought about earning money to marry Yuan Ge'er, but he couldn't deduct points from Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's heart because of this. If Yuan Ge'er's parents didn't like him, how could he marry Yuan Ge'er? go home?

Putting down the messy thoughts in his heart for the time being, Zhao Heng nodded and said to Jiang Yuan: "Okay, I know it's not safe to go back, wait a moment, and I'll take you when I get back."

If he went back to Dahe Village alone, Not only is the road dark, but the road is not easy to walk. He remembered that once before, when he was walking back at night, Brother Yuan injured his ankle.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng became even more determined to take Yuan Geer home, and then he would get some food. On the one hand, he could let Yuan Geer take him to eat on the road, and the other was to bring it to Father Jiang and Mother Jiang. Some, let them also try their new food.

Father Jiang was obsessed with carpentry all day long, completely ignoring what he was doing, and Mother Jiang had no ability to make money, so she could only do handkerchiefs and other chores with her sisters in the village.

When Zhao Heng thought of this, he suddenly felt that if Aunt Jiang, who was idle at home, came to work, she would not only earn money, but also allow Ama Jiang to take care of these children at the same time.

After all, he and Jiang Yuan are only seventeen or eighteen years old, so they still don't know much about this. Rao is Zhao Heng who is familiar with some educational concepts, but due to time constraints, he has never had time to chat with Cheng Lang and the others.

Since Aunt Jiang can teach a diligent and kind little brother like Jiang Yuan, she can naturally teach these children well. Besides, Ama Jiang has always avoided talking about him and Brother Yuan.

He still doesn't know what she wants in her heart, but after thinking about it, put Amu Jiang next to him and Brother Yuan, so that Amu Jiang can see his character and ability to make money, otherwise How long does it take to get their consent?

After thinking about it, Zhao Heng felt that this method was really good. However, the only problem now is to see if Amu Jiang is willing to come. If she is willing, Zhao Heng is also willing to pay the same salary as Brother Yuan.

After making up his mind, Zhao Heng said to Jiang Yuan, "You must remember to wait for me. I have something to say. Besides, it is not safe for you to go back alone."

Jiang Yuan originally only wanted to go back by himself, but after listening He just nodded at this, the road was dark outside, and he was actually a little scared.

After parting with Jiang Yuan, Zhao Heng took a few young men to the county yazhong. On the way, some people watched curiously, the tall and strong man was full of disdain, while the group of young men who were pressing the man away were full of excitement, all of them raised their chests and looked up, very proud.

Zhao Heng shook his head with a smile, and then used more force to hold the man down to prevent him from moving indiscriminately. Although Zhao Heng was tall and thin, he still had some muscles growing on his body due to running back and forth these days and eating well.

He usually pays attention to physical health, so he has exercised well, so now he can hold this tall and strong man. Those little guys now look like proud peacocks, and one by one, they all loosened their grip on this man.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng held him, so the group could walk to the gate of the county government without any worries. On the road, there were a lot of people who didn't think it was a big deal, and there were even very laid-back people who were surprised to find that the boss who brought people to the county government office looked familiar!

He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he remembered that this is the owner of the food stall that was touched before! He had seen the food stall before.

In order to know how good the food is, he also specifically inquired about the location, went to the Beishi side, and only ate it. I heard people say that they have moved their place and will no longer sell food in Beishi.

Because he was a little lazy and didn't bother to inquire about the position, did he simply let the boss go?

Curious, he squeezed in front of the crowd. Today, he still has to see what kind of incident this is!

At this time, Zhao Heng was standing in the court and said to the magistrate: "Sir, do you still remember me, I'm Niu Lanlan's younger brother! Niu Fuluo! Me!"

"Bold! What nonsense? I don't know a woman named Niu Lanlan!" But the name Niu Lanlan sounded slightly familiar.

The county magistrate thought for a while, and then thought of his son's concubine, the concubine he had just brought back recently, so he is very fond of it now. Although the woman entered the door through the small door, she reported it earlier. own wife's name.

He saw it when he went to stay in Madam's yard. Although he had never seen Niu Lanlan himself, he still knew the name. The magistrate looked at the tall and strong man hesitantly. This man just said he was Niu Lanlan's younger brother?

"Who is in the hall, report the name truthfully!"

Zhao Heng bowed his hands and said to the county official: "Sir, Caomin is a food shop on Queqiao Street - the owner of another Yishun, named Zhao Heng. There is a thief. I entered the kitchen in my backyard and was about to steal something, but luckily a dog raised by Caomin found it, and only then could this person be successfully caught."

"Nonsense! Who went to your kitchen? Could it be that he was trying to steal something to eat?!" Niu Fuluo rolled his eyes and had new thoughts in his heart.

As long as he refuses to admit it, the county magistrate does not recognize him, so what can he do? Not to mention the guy who is just a little boss!

"Who are you?" The county magistrate asked Niu Fu sternly.

Looking at the majestic face of the magistrate, Niu Fuluo's original sense of righteousness also fell, and he answered honestly: "The people from Niutou Lane in Caomin Zhilan Town are named Niu Fuluo, and my sister's name is Niu Lanlan!

" , he quickly pointed at Zhao Heng and said, "I don't know him at all! He framed me!"

"Sir, I have witnesses!" Zhao Heng was very angry when he heard his shameless remarks. The thing that was lost in the middle was the recipe he had written wrong before.

When he was transcribing the recipe book for Brother Yuan, he didn't write for a long time, for fear of damaging the expensive blank book, so he wrote one or two recipes on the grass paper.

Because of a typo, he put the pieces of straw paper in the stove and burned them when he was about to start a fire. But now it seems that this typo recipe has helped him.

"Where are the witnesses?" The county magistrate looked back and saw only a group of children. He swept them away without paying attention to them.

Zhao Heng took a step back, exposed the three little men behind him, and said to the county magistrate, "Sir, it's these children who saw it with their own eyes and beat this little thief with their own hands." " Really

?"

After the boss said this, Cheng Lang and the others couldn't help but straighten their chests, ready to accept the approval from the magistrate. They have helped Boss Zhao a lot this time, no matter what, they are still very proud in their hearts!

"Are these children witnesses?"

"Yes, please listen to them, and then make a decision."

"Then let's talk about it."

After hearing the words of the magistrate, the three little men rushed to each other, talking in a row, and saying one sentence after another. In a word, I can't hear what was said.

Zhao Heng looked at the magistrate's brows, and quickly reminded a few young men, saying: "Be quiet, just say it alone." The

chattering voice disappeared instantly, Cheng Lang and the others looked at each other, and then, by age The older Cheng Lang said, "Sir, I really saw it with my own eyes."

"At that time, it was already night on the floor. There wasn't even a dog barking outside. I was about to wake up at night when I heard a dog barking in the backyard. The sound of the stool and the overturning of the stool was very loud, and I was awake all of a sudden."

Cheng Lang swallowed and continued boldly: "I got ready to see what was going on, and found that Boss Zhao next to him was also I was woken up, this is our boss."

He pointed to Zhao Heng next to him, and after the magistrate nodded, he continued: "Then we went to the backyard, and I saw the boss took a broom over there, so I hurried back. I went to the lobby to get the latch."

"I found out later, I knew!" A young man quickly took over the conversation and continued: "We were all awake, so I took the broom with everyone and went to the backyard. Brother Chenglang said that the boss Let's go."

Cheng Lang took the conversation: "We guessed right, the thief came out of the window, just happened to be beaten by us, and then he was locked in the woodshed."

"Then he came here, Ask the magistrate to judge right or wrong." Zhao Heng hurriedly said to the magistrate after listening to a few young men talking about the cause and effect.

"It's all nonsense! There's no such thing at all!"

"Isn't that the case?" Zhao Heng laughed angrily, pointed his finger at the wound on his body, and said, "Then tell me, where did these fresh wounds come from?"

Niu Fuluo was speechless . , there is really no excuse for this, he can only say stubbornly: "I accidentally fell, can't I?!"

"Crack!" There was a gavel, the hall came down, and the county magistrate rubbed his brows and said, "Shut up! Mouth, in the court, how can you be presumptuous!" The

magistrate paused for a while, then looked at Niu Fuluo again, and said, "Tell me, where did the scars on this body come from? I'm not that easy to fool!" At first glance, it was made by a stick, and it had just scabbed over, so it didn't look like an old injury.

"I, I..." Niu Fuluo didn't expect that the county magistrate didn't know him, so now he panicked and said hesitantly.

The magistrate looked at him with dodging eyes, and he had already thought about it in his heart. He looked at Zhao Heng and asked, "Do you have any other evidence?"

"Yes!" Zhao Heng stepped forward and said to the magistrate: "My lord, since we caught this little thief, we just tied him up and locked him in the firewood room and didn't touch him, so now he should still have the recipe we lost, which the little thief stole in the kitchen room. This is the evidence."

"Someone." After hearing his explanation, the county magistrate raised his hand and summoned two yamen, and said to them, "Go and search him to see if he has this recipe."

"Yes . !" The

two yamen were ordered to search Niu Fuluo's body, and finally took out a piece of paper folded into a square from his sleeve. After the yamen found out, he quickly presented it to the sitting adults.
