Chapter 103 The noodle restaurant tastes the fresh, and the yamen confronts him
Baoying hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tables and chairs, but nothing was wiped off.
"Childe is the first to come back, the small shop has been open for 20 years, and these tables, chairs and benches have been smoothed by diners, and they are not dirty." Seeing this, Ding said with a smile.
"You still don't eat noodles? Sit down, don't be ashamed! Gu Qingzhu frowned and pointed to the bench next to him.
Mu Jincheng lifted up his pine and emerald robe and sat down, he was wearing a shisha today, the draped fabric rippling on his knees, like small ripples on the surface of the water that had been thrown into the stones, glowing with sparkling waves.
"What are you going to eat?" Ding asked, rubbing his hands on his apron.
"What do you have here?" Mu Jincheng put his hands on his knees and said.
"If you want to say that it is delicious, there are really a lot, such as family portraits, meatball noodles, shredded chicken noodles, three fresh noodles, Ruyi dumplings, chicken wontons, big meat buns, ......" Ding folded his fingers, like a number of treasures.
"Why don't we have a little of everything?" Mu Jincheng was difficult to choose for a while, and asked with his eyebrows.
"My aunt is honest in business, you can eat enough with a bowl of noodles, you want everything, it's not a waste of food." Gu Qingzhu glanced at him, he was really anointed, and he didn't know the hardships of the poor days.
"There are no guests here, I'll make you a small portion of everything to taste, fortunately you are here today, if it is a few days later, I am afraid that the noodle restaurant has changed hands." Ding smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes interlaced like ravines.
"You have a good market here, and you have old customers to take care of you, so you shouldn't be unable to operate." Mu Jincheng looked around and said.
"My business here is still good, just because my son built a house last year, married a daughter-in-law, and will have a grandson in a month or two, and there are a few acres of land at home, and my son is busy alone, so he wants to ask me to rent out the noodle restaurant, go back to my hometown and make fun of my grandson, and I can also help them." Ding, who looked forward to it, said, and put three or four small plates of a few side dishes that had been fried in advance and served them on the table.
"My aunt has already found a boss to take over?" Gu Qingzhu was a little reluctant, she had been used to buying steamed buns here in the past few years.
"Not yet, I just want the noodle restaurant not to change its course, the old customers will come in the future, and there is a hope, I am old, and my son does not want to come to the city, and he will definitely not be able to do it in the future, so I just want to find someone who is willing to take over the noodle restaurant, it doesn't matter if the price is low, if I can't make pasta, I can also teach, but now there are fewer posterity who can endure hardships, and I haven't found anyone to this day." Ding shook his head helplessly, turned around and went to the kitchen to make noodles.
"Gu Qingzhu, your noodles are so delicious, do you want to take down this shop?" Mu Jincheng asked in a low voice.
"I ...... How can I compare with my aunt's craftsmanship! Gu Qingzhu's face was slightly red, and then he said, "I still have a tea garden and mulberry garden to take care of at home, how can I stay here for a long time?" β
"It's really visionless, you see that the proprietress runs such a small shop, buys a field in the countryside, builds a house and marries a daughter-in-law, it must be more money than you make by serving the mountains and forests." Mu Jincheng pursed his lips, took a piece of salted radish to eat, and muttered again, "The side dishes are not as delicious as the ones you make." β
"Don't talk nonsense, this shop, you don't have fifty or sixty taels of silver, don't even think about it!" Gu Qingzhu glared at him, thinking that he was troublesome.
"What is the money, even if it is a hundred taels, I can take it, but I will eat the overlord meal in the future, and I will eat the kind that does not give money." Mu Jincheng said with a grin.
"What a big dream do you have!" Gu Qingzhu turned his head and ignored him.
It's great to have money, and you didn't earn it yourself!
Laughing, Ding brought a small bowl of each of the several noodles, and the four of them ate it separately, although Gu Qingying was greedy, but without Gu Qingzhu's permission, she could only eat three fresh noodles honestly, Mu Jincheng originally wanted to give her meatballs to eat, but Gu Qingzhu knocked them off with chopsticks, and the soup splashed his face, causing Qingying to giggle.
After eating noodles, naturally Bao paid the account, he was worried about the carriage and left first, Gu Qingzhu wanted to go back to the workshop earlier, so he took his sister and left, Mu Jincheng didn't know what to do in the back, and after a while, he caught up with the corner of his clothes.
"Let's overcome all the obstacles along the way, gallop wildly, and it can be regarded as a common hardship, you are not righteous at this time, and you will not wait for me!" Mu Jincheng complained.
"How do we know what you just did, do you want us to wait?" Gu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and retorted, the corners of his mouth clearly pursed a sly smile.
"Gone, gone." Mu Jincheng strode into the meteor, deliberately passed them in a few steps, and walked to the front.
"Sister, chase after you!" Qingying opened her arms and said anxiously.
"Sister carries you." Gu Qingzhu squatted down.
Gu Qingying was like a nimble little monkey, she climbed on Gu Qingzhu's back in three or two clicks, hugged her neck, Gu Qingzhu hurried a few steps, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Mu Jincheng, of course, someone was waiting for her on purpose.
The three of them laughed, and as soon as they walked to the mouth of the alley, they saw Bao Ying arguing with several officials of the county government.
"What's the matter, this is Mu Sanye's carriage, you have to detain it too!" The green tendons on Bao Ying's forehead burst out.
"Master Bao, someone went to the yamen to complain, saying that someone grabbed horses on the street, ran wildly in the city, trampled on countless goods, and we also acted according to the rules." The thin servant at the head obviously recognized Bao Ying, and said with some embarrassment.
"Hey, that stupid goose, I gave him silver, and tied the horse to Dexing, he didn't take it, but he had spare time to go to the yamen to sue me?" Mu Jincheng squinted his phoenix eyes and said.
"Yes, the third master is right, he is a dead man, he has to wait for you to compensate, you see ......" the thin official pursed his lips and said cautiously.
"If I don't go, will my honest and honest brother-in-law go to Mufu to get people?" Mu Jincheng sighed and asked.
"Third master, you have to understand the master's difficulties, that kid is a new master in the county school, you also know that the master has been to Ningjiang City many times for the children in the county school to ask for a master, this time, finally came to one, it is said that he is also a protΓ©gΓ© who is very appreciated by the king of learning, this time it will be ...... It's really hard to explain. The thin servant frowned and whispered.
"In that case, I'll go with you, but I want to see what this kid has to say!" Mu Jincheng dusted off the pine emerald gown.
"Let's go with you, although this matter is not done properly, but in the end it is to save people, I think the master will probably not be too careful." Gu Qingzhu stepped forward and said.
"Qingying is still sick, you should go back early, the county master is my brother-in-law, he can still put me in prison!" Mu Jincheng said nonchalantly.
"You are notorious, you don't have lice and you don't have to worry about debts, do you want the county lord to recite the infamy of not distinguishing right from wrong, ignoring the facts, and favoring relatives?" Gu Qingzhu said angrily.
"What this girl said makes sense, the county government is not far from here, you might as well go together, explain things thoroughly, and each of you can rest assured." The thin servant nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, let's go, and I'll send someone to bring Dexing's horse here." Mu Jincheng said, flirting with his clothes and stepping into the carriage.
Gu Qingzhu took Qingying to sit in, Baoying sat on the wheel to catch the car, this time there was a servant in front of the road, and the road was very smooth, but such a strange team inevitably caused passers-by to talk about it, saying everything, each insisting on it, and no one could convince anyone.
In the hall of the county government, Su Jin was sitting in a precarious position, and the two officials were standing aside, and there was a young man in a sky blue robe standing upright, who was the one who was robbed by Mu Jincheng in the morning.
When Su Jin saw Mu Jincheng coming in, he said, "Now that you have arrived, let's tell me more about the situation." β
"Student Wei Ze just arrived in your place today, has not yet taken office, was robbed by this person horse, the teacher said before leaving, Nancang County is rich and prosperous, the people are simple, today I see it, but it is very different, some people on the rich side are actually bullying the market, for the rich and unkind villains and profiteers!" Wei Ze was filled with indignation, and his chest heaved and fell.
"Hey, you kid, I just borrowed your horse to use it, and I paid you, if you feel sorry for the horse, you can scold me alone, and you can't even affect the family, besides, you have only been here for a few hours, you dare to say such irresponsible words, if you say so, you take things out of context like this, self-righteousness, eighty percent of you want to teach bad children in the county school!" Mu Jincheng walked around in front of him and looked up and down.
Wei Ze's appearance is not surprising, but he has a pair of transparent eyes, innocent as a child.
"You rode the long streets for no reason, frightened the elderly, women and children, trampled on countless items, and caused everyone to curse, I'm a newcomer, it's true, isn't what they say credible, isn't it true!" Wei Ze argued.
"County master, Mr. Wei, let the little girl say a word." Gu Qingzhu took Qingying by the hand and stepped forward to salute.
"Who are you? What do you have to say? Su Jin asked majestically.
"Huiyu County Master, the people's daughter is called Gu Qingzhu, she is a native of Gujiaao in Cuiping Town, and now she works in Dexing Weaving Workshop. This morning, my sister suddenly got hot, fortunately the third master helped to send the hospital, but the West City is congested, impassable, we have no other way but to make this decision, for a while robbed Mr. Wei's horse, only to save my sister in time, if you must be punished, please punish me. Gu Qingzhu said, bending down to kneel for Wei Ze.
"The girl can't do it!" Wei Ze stopped her, paused and said, "Since there is a reason for the incident, I don't want to pursue it too much, if you said it clearly at the time, how could I stand by and not agree." β
"At that time, the eyebrows were burned, where can I talk in detail, besides, according to your temperament, don't disturb the people, and don't destroy objects, who is willing to let you in the crowd of traffic, and you must not climb slowly in the sea of people and cars!" Mu Jincheng rolled his eyes disdainfully.
"So, my fault?" Wei Ze said angrily.
"It's not like you're looking for something to do, Ma, I'll help you put it in Dexing Pharmacy, if you don't pick it up, you're not here to find fault!" The more Mu Jincheng spoke, the more energetic he became, ignoring Wei Ze's instantly darkened face.
"Okay, everything is clear, since it's a misunderstanding, let's stop it." Su Jin interrupted him in time.
"Quit!"
The two servants withdrew in turn.
Mu Jincheng turned around to leave, but was stopped by Su Jin: "Your sister has a little appetite these days, you stay here, accompany her to eat something, and I will send Master Wei to the county school." β
"Okay." Mu Jincheng didn't dare not agree.
Su Jin got up, politely conceded a few words with Wei Ze, and the two left together.
"Then let's go back first." Gu Qingzhu said in a low voice.
"Let Bao Ying send you, I'm going to stay here until dinner time anyway." Mu Jincheng sent them out.
When Gu Qingzhu returned to the workshop, she let Qingying wash and sleep, while she was busy decocting medicine and making porridge in the kitchen.
The fat woman in the kitchen was easy to talk to, not only gave Chai He and japonica rice, but also asked Qingying about her condition, knowing that she was frightened, and scolded Xiao Ji for a while.
