I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Chapter 68

When I opened the square note, I saw that it was the recipe for food written in black and white, and I knew exactly how and how much seasoning to eat.

As a county magistrate, he didn't know if there was anything wrong with this recipe, but since these things were found from this man, let's hear how Niu Fuluo explained it.

"My lord! My lord, I was wronged!" Niu Fuluo knelt on the ground with a "pop", he really didn't know how to explain this. He has not been very smart since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been so miserable in the casino.

He knelt on the ground and could only pin his hopes on his sister Niu Lanlan. He had just met his sister before he went to another Yishun to steal the recipe, so if she found out that she hadn't returned for a long time, she should have sent someone to inquire.

"Injustice? You might say where the injustice is? As long as the evidence is presented, this official will naturally deal with it fairly." The

magistrate had no impression of his sister, but remembered to save face for Niu Fuluo.

The yamen came over just now and whispered to him. Only then did he know what kind of person Niu Fuluo was. Because his family lived in Zhilan Town, the family was not short of money.

Originally, Niu Fuluo had only one elder sister and no other siblings. Since her sister Niu Lanlan married her son as a concubine, the family has become more and more violent.

The couple came to the house every three days, saying that they wanted to see how their daughter was doing, but in fact they came to ask Niu Lanlan for money. And this Niu Lanlan is not easy to deal with. Hearing that the wife said that her daughter-in-law has been crying several times by her.

Relying on her son's favor, she has no scruples in the mansion. Except for the fact that the lady can treat her, she has never heard of what the people around her say. This family is very annoying.

Just when the few days are not busy, Madam is planning to take this Niu Lanlan back, so as to save his family from coming to beat the autumn wind and be disgusting in the mansion all day.

Besides, Niu Fuluo didn't care about this case. If he could produce evidence, he would naturally handle it fairly and not wrong any party.

Since he was able to sit in the current position from a nobody, naturally it took a lot of effort. Therefore, he cherishes his official position very much and will not do anything partial.

Besides, in a few years, a new official should come to take over the place. At that time, these complicated things will not be managed by him, and there is no need to favor someone and lose his official position at this time.

Seeing Niu Fu stumbling and unable to speak, the magistrate already made a decision in his heart. Since this person can't say why, the case should come to an end here.

"Crack!" There was a sound of jolting, and everyone in the hall immediately fell silent, one by one pricked up their ears, ready to hear how the magistrate judged the case.

"Since Niu Fuluo can't produce any evidence, this case ends here. On Yishun's side, there are both witnesses and solid evidence, so Niu Fuluo should be guilty of theft. According to the law, sinners should After he was branded, he was sent to jail for three years."

Seeing that his sentence had been handed down, and the court clerk was about to come to detain him, Niu Fuluo suddenly felt a little panic in his heart.

I'm afraid my sister doesn't know the news yet, and now he can't leave here. If I had known it earlier...I should have known it earlier, I shouldn't be coveting those few taels of silver!

Or, after being caught by those people, he should bribe the boss with money and stop his mouth, so as not to make such a big fuss now!

"My lord! I have something to say!" Niu Fuluo felt a little cowardly when he saw the two tall and strong yamen walking towards him.

If you are taken away, you will have to use a soldering iron to make a mark behind your ear! How painful that must be! When Niu Fuluo thought of this, he was extremely flustered in his heart.

"Wait." Seeing Niu Fuluo's appearance, the county magistrate raised his hand and signaled to the two yamen to listen. He turned to look at Niu Fuluo and said, "Niu Fuluo, what else do you have to say? "Yes, sir

, the villain has nothing to say, just wants to meet my sister." Niu Fu rolled his eyes and thought of Niu Lanlan. When my sister and brother-in-law came over, even the magistrates had to give some thin noodles.

Previously, he only knew that his sister was carried by a wealthy family to be a concubine, but he did not know where the family belonged. Since he had twenty taels of silver to marry her as a concubine, Dad quickly agreed, for fear that the rich and noble family would suddenly regret it.

He thought it would not be a good life to be a concubine. Unexpectedly, when Niu Lanlan came back, he was wearing silk and satin, and on his head, he was wearing gold, silver, jewelry and golden hairpins.

Seeing how wealthy she is, because of this reason, both aunt and aunt gave her a good face. If he hadn't watched her spend so much money, he himself would never have called her sister.

In these days, Niu Lanlan has already taken a lot of money to play, and when he is in the casino, he can learn from those rich young masters, and his daughter is regarded as dung.

As soon as he thought of those white silver coins, Niu Fuluo felt a burst of relief in his heart. While indulging in his own fantasy, Niu Fuluo heard the voice of the magistrate entering his ears.

"Meet your sister? Yes." But it's time to be in a cell. The county magistrate sneered, the mind of this man is really like a mouse in the ground, a plain-headed commoner who still wants to use power to suppress people.

The two yamen temporarily detained Niu Fuluo and locked him in a cell not far away. Now things have come to an end, just waiting to contact Niu Fuluo's sister and see what words they can say.

When Niu Fuluo was taken down, he waited happily for Niu Lanlan to rescue him, so he was very rude to the yamen beside him when he went to the cell.

Looking at the messy environment in front of him, Niu Fuluo spit in disdain, then went straight to the bed board in the corner, sat down, and fell asleep shortly after lying down.

When he woke up again, he was woken up by a basin of cold water. He opened his eyes, looked around, and found that he was being tied tightly.

There is a soldering iron in the brazier in front of him. A huge panic suddenly surged in his heart, and his body couldn't help struggling. Before he could open his mouth to speak, the yamen shoved a piece of cloth into his mouth from the side. Then, there is the sound of flesh and iron meeting.

Zhao Heng watched the yamen take Niu Fuluo away, and he was relieved. He turned around and said to a group of young men behind him: "You did a great job today!"

Looking at his thumbs up, Cheng Lang He couldn't help laughing, and the three little men jumped up with joy in an instant: "Deserving it! Who let him steal!"

"That's it!"

Now, the people around have also watched the excitement and have begun to gradually disperse. Zhao Heng looked back at the sky outside, it seemed that it was getting late.

He said to the three little men: "Let's go back quickly, the store hasn't started to clean up, and I still need some help from you little men."

"Okay!" The three little men said in unison. The child was full of energy, and a few people rushed back to the store. Zhao Heng could only smile helplessly, and quickly followed.

As soon as they entered the door, a few young men chatted and discussed. Under Cheng Lang's reminder, they kept the tableware and chopsticks in their hands while talking to Ning Ge'er, who was sitting beside him, about what happened today.

The night before, he slept because he drank the medicine, so he slept vaguely and knew something, but he still didn't know the cause and effect.

Now that I heard Cheng know what happened, Zhao Ning calmed down a little after hearing that the man had been locked up in prison, and played with a few people.

Jiang Yuan had already told Ning Ge'er that he was going home tonight, explained some things to him, and kept packing his things here.

Until Zhao Heng and Cheng relaxed a little bit. He hurried up to meet Zhao Heng and said to Zhao Heng, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright, the matter has been dealt with. That person is locked up in prison, and there is no one who can't get out in two or three years." Zhao Heng suddenly remembered something, he said. : "Brother Yuan, put the work in your hands and don't do it. Didn't you say that you were going back to Dahe Village today, I'll take you off."

"If you're not here, there will be only Brother Ning and the rest of the group of children... "Jiang Yuan is actually a little worried about these children. Although he is not very old, he is always worried about these immature children, for fear that they will meet some bad people if they stay on their own.

"I've thought about this for a long time." Zhao Heng patted his hand and said to him, "When I send you back, I'll come back and watch them quickly, so as to avoid any trouble. Just in time, when I go back Go home again and bring something back with you."

"That's fine." Jiang Yuan nodded, turned and continued to pack his things. In fact, since a few days ago, he has been a little flustered in his heart.

For the past few days, an idea has been lingering in his mind. Zhao Heng said a few days ago that he would go to his house to propose marriage, but after so long, he didn't talk about it again.

Jiang Yuan was actually a little overwhelmed. He was already quite old in the same village, and many were his age. She was already married and became a mother and father.

He is the only one, there is no set number yet. Before, there was a matchmaker who wanted him to be Master Li's servant. No one has come to ask since that person was rejected.

He didn't understand until Zhao Heng spoke his mind. However, he is about to reach the age of official matchmaking. If he doesn't get married within a year or two, he will be shoved by the government at random.

He has never said these words to Zhao Heng. Now that he has opened a shop, he is more busy on weekdays, and he should not think about getting married. But having said that, he still felt a little down in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan turned around and turned his back to Zhao Heng. Looking at his back, Zhao Heng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Did he make Brother Yuan angry?

Not knowing what to say, Zhao Heng could only stand silently beside Jiang Yuan and help him with his work. The little guys and brothers next to them saw this scene and laughed: "Boss Zhao has become a follower again!"

Zhao Heng turned his head quickly when he heard this, and said to the children, "Come and play while you play. , don't make fun of it here!" Saying that, it's really upsetting to put his boss's face on.

Although he said so, Zhao Heng still had a smile on his face, he watched a few children run into the yard, and hurriedly turned his head to Jiang Yuan and said, "I just like to be with Brother Yuan. , they are a group of children who don't understand anything, so Brother Yuan doesn't need to pay attention to them."

Jiang Yuan responded in a low voice, and said to him, "It's getting late now, while it's still a little bright, let's go back to the village now. "

Okay, Brother Yuan, wait a minute, I'll go get something." Zhao Heng said, and hurriedly went to the kitchen, took some food that had been prepared a long time ago, and took a few oil seals. .

Seeing Cheng Lang, Zhao Heng also specifically said a few words to him and told him: "I'll be back in a while, you are older here, you have to take good care of them."

After Cheng Lang nodded in agreement, Zhao Heng then picked up the food and oil seal beside him, and hurriedly went out to find Brother Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was already waiting for Zhao Heng at the door. Looking at the sun outside, it should be the end of Shen Shimo, and when we reach Dahe Village, it should be Youshi, and it is not too late.

"Brother Yuan, let's go."

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Yuan saw Zhao Heng walking out of the house carrying something, and said to him, "While it's still light, let's go back quickly, it will save money. The oil seal is here." After dark, the road is even more bumpy, and it would be best if the oil seal was not used.

With that said, the two set foot on the road back to Dahe Village together. Along the way, the two talked about various plans for the restaurant in the future, and Zhao Heng deliberately told Jiang Yuan about his future plans.

Dahe Village is not too far from Zhilan Town, and there is nothing heavy in their hands, so they quickly arrived in the village.

"Brother Yuan, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled. He had just told himself about the restaurant in the future, so there should be nothing to do. Now he is going to say something. ?

"I-Look, there are a few more children in our store now, both of us are only in our teens, so we won't take care of them at all."

Zhao Heng glanced at Jiang Yuan and continued: "I thought, if Jiang If my aunt has nothing to do at home, can I go to the store to be a helper? Don't worry, I'm sure the same salary as you will be paid."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Yuan nodded inwardly. My mother wanted to go out to work for a long time, but there are no shop owners willing to recruit women of this age.

Besides, if Grandma is willing to go, she can also help take care of a few children, and save them from being busy all day and talking about them in her heart.

"Then I'll go back and ask my mother, if there is news, I'll let you know when I go to the store tomorrow morning." After a little thought, Jiang Yuan agreed.

After sending Jiang Yuan home, Zhao Heng hadn't forgotten to pass the food in his hand to Jiang Yuan. It was only when Jiang Yuan's figure disappeared from sight that he hurried to his yard.

I took some things I needed from the stove, and then I took a change of clothes from the bedroom. After thinking about it, he brought his old clothes with him.

Fortunately, I bought the fabric a few days ago, otherwise Cheng Lang and the others, and Ning Ge'er, they only have one or two pieces of clothes, the weather is getting colder and colder these days, and it will soon be time to cut the clothes.

Zhao Heng's side had already forgotten about Niu Fuluo, but at this moment Niu Fuluo was struggling in pain. Without him, today is the day when the prisoners are uniformly branded. As soon as Niu Fuluo entered, he was executed with the thieves who had entered first.

At this moment, he was saying something cursing. Because of his large size, the inmates in the same cell didn't dare to provoke him.

In these rooms, most of the people were caught because of petty theft, so they were not very courageous. Looking at this person's righteous appearance, they always felt that this person was a bit snobby, otherwise he would not dare to The jailer cursed.

At this time, Niu Fu's ears have been branded on the back of his ears. This mark will never fade. As long as it is branded, anyone who looks at it will know that this person has stolen something and that his hands and feet are not clean.

He was angry right now. If he hadn't been caught unnoticed, he wouldn't have been locked up in such an embarrassing situation now. Fortunately, when he was in the hall, he told the adults that he wanted to see his sister.

When Niu Lanlan came over, he begged her angrily, as long as he went out, the owner of this restaurant would wait for his revenge in the future!

Counting them down, one by one, they beat him first, locked him in the woodshed for a whole day, and now put him in jail.

Thinking of this, Niu Fuluo's stomach made a "grunt" sound, and he touched his stomach. He got up and went to the window, and said to the guards who were patrolling outside: "Hey, do you have anything to eat? Give me some!" The

guard was suddenly unhappy when he heard that this man dared to say such a thing, he picked up the stick at hand, "Bang Bang Bang" knocked on the window.

"No!"

Niu Fuluo snorted after hearing this, then went back to the bed and lay down. As long as Niu Lanlan receives the news, she will definitely rush over because of her grandmother's face.

Just as he was thinking, there was a noisy voice not far away, a woman's sharp voice resounded, echoing clearly in the empty prison cell.

"Get up for me all of you! I'll find someone!"

Listening to the voice, it was like Niu Lanlan's voice. Niu Fuluo quickly got up, leaned over to the window, and shouted to the outside, "I'm here, I'm here!"

Then he saw Niu Lanlan approaching him unhurriedly, and said to him, "How can I be reduced to In such a situation? What, is it because of gambling and losing again?"

Niu Lanlan was very disdainful of this younger brother in his heart. Since childhood, my father and mother have been biased towards him, and I have never had my own share of any benefits. The reason why he was a concubine for others was also his idea after losing money.

In order to pay off the gambling debt, she had to marry out. Said to be married, in fact, to put it bluntly is to sell. She was naturally unwilling. But it wasn't until later that she realized that being a concubine could be so beautiful.

For example, now, Niu Fuluo, who has always treated her badly, and her aunt and aunt, don't they all ask her to help with errands?

Thinking of this, she sneered: "Tell me, how much do you owe this time?"

Seeing her like this, Niu Fuluo was very upset, but he had no choice. Now he can only rely on her to go out. Now he can't offend this woman.

"I owe fifty taels." Niu Fuluo quickly explained: "They colluded to deceive me, I didn't want to gamble!"

"Fifty taels?! Didn't I just give you twenty taels a few days ago? Silver?"

"Then the money will be spent long ago!" Niu Fuluo didn't care about it. With such a little money, he would spend almost the same money on a trip to the brothel.

Niu Lanlan didn't listen to him anymore, and turned around and left here. If the two immortals at home were not begging for her to come here, she would never have come to such a place.

Looking at her leaving figure, Niu Fuluo touched the scar behind his ear, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. When he goes out, these people, one by one, wait for the fruit to be eaten!

After Niu Lanlan left, she hurriedly went to her own courtyard in the mansion, dressed in a brocade dress, wearing a bright moon on her ears, and the hair accessories on her head were even more gorgeous, and she used all kinds of golden hairpins.

Dressed up beautifully, just waiting for the young master to come back, tell him about this matter, ask him to find someone to ask for mercy, and let Niu Fuluo go.

It's not that Niu Lanlan is kind, but that in a clan, there must be no criminals who are recorded, otherwise, what should I do if the son she gives birth can't take the scientific examination in the future.

Just for the sake of her future children, she had to stop Niu Fuluo from being put in jail.
