Chapter 54: Losing the Child
The restaurant that Li Shuang was looking forward to day and night has finally opened!
The name of the restaurant is Juquande Barbecue, which was given by Chen Zheng.
As for why he chose such a name, Chen Zheng did not explain, although Li Shuang once asked in every possible way.
This restaurant was opened by the county commander, and on the day of the opening of the market, it was really a market.
Even some businessmen from the county also came to cheer, Chen Zheng and Li Shuang knew in their hearts, these people were completely rushing to the face of the county commander Li Gang.
But since you are here, you have to pay for the money, which is a real income.
Li Shuang looked at the sky, seemed to be a little disappointed, and sighed.
Chen Zheng hurriedly asked: "Today is a big joy when the market opens, why is Mr. Li a little unhappy?" ”
When Li Shuang heard this, he sighed again, and responded: "When your carpentry workshop was opened, my father sent a scribe from the government office to congratulate him. But today, you see, my father didn't come, and I didn't even see half of the people in the government office. Alas! ”
"Maybe it's busy, right?" Chen Zheng comforted.
Li Shuang pursed his lips and said, "Come out this morning, my father is still drawing on the bookcase you made, what can I do?" ”
"Take care of the business first, don't get along with the money." Chen Zheng patted Li Shuang's shoulder.
At this time, the restaurant was already full of meat.
Diners feasted on wine, barbecue, and feast.
At the beginning, everyone was still a little restrained, after all, the decoration in the restaurant was elegant and the seats were quite luxurious.
But after a few glasses of wine, and the aroma of barbecue can't stop drilling into the nose, who can bear it?
When the first person tore the barbecue and ate it with a mouth full of oil, the others couldn't hold back anymore.
The restaurant was lively, but fortunately, Chen Zheng had trained the running hall and the small house in advance, and although he was busy, he didn't mess up.
"Eh, have you heard? There has been a major case in Horn Ditch! A bearded diner suddenly said to his friend at the same table.
The friend next to him asked, "Really?" That horn ditch is a small fishing village by the sea, what case can there be? ”
"Hmph, don't believe it!" The bearded man was obviously dissatisfied with someone questioning him, "Before I came here, I saw it all, the tolerance of the government office has passed, and even the county magistrate has gone!" ”
After saying this, the bearded man pointed to the thin man on the other side, and added: "Don't believe it, you asked the thin man, and he also saw it." ”
The thin man was immersed in eating meat, and he didn't care about answering at all, just nodded and said, "Well, I'll give it away!" ”
The bearded man was very satisfied with the thin man's answer, and said proudly: "Look, I'm not talking nonsense, am I?" ”
The place where they sat was not far from the counter of the restaurant, and Chen Zheng and Li Shuang heard the words of the beard.
Chen Zheng stabbed Li Shuang with his arm and said, "Listen, there's really something." ”
Li Shuang nodded, his face was a little better, and said, "I just don't know what happened, my father won't be in danger, right?" ”
"I'll talk about this beard later, let's keep listening." Chen Zhengdao.
Li Shuang glanced at him and said, "Are you so sure that he will still speak?" ”
Chen Zheng nodded, the reason why he was so sure had something to do with it, because he saw that on the table where the beard was, there was an attribute of talking eloquently.
One thing, if you don't say it, it's fine, as long as you talk about it, it's endless.
Sure enough, after taking two bites of meat and taking a sip of wine, the beard spoke again.
"I heard that Horn Ditch, I lost five children in the past two days!" The beard deliberately lowered his voice.
No one dares to shout about something like this, which is easy to cause panic among the people.
If he is charged with spreading rumors and causing trouble, he will be imprisoned for a few days.
The beard looks very vicious, but in fact, it is quite weak inside.
However, the place where they were sitting was too close to the counter, even if they lowered their voices, Chen Zheng and Li Shuang could hear it clearly.
"Did you fall into the sea?" The friend next to him asked.
"How is that possible? Horn Ditch has been fishing for generations, and I haven't heard of losing five children in two days for so many years, there must be other reasons. ”
It was the thin man who said this, he had just finished eating the barbecue in front of him, sucked his fingers, and wanted to take the one in front of the beard, but was slapped away by the other party.
The bearded man glared at the thin man, and continued: "I heard that it is a pirate who eats the hearts and livers of children!" ”
After saying this, the beard stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed viciously.
The thin man suddenly felt that the barbecue was not so delicious.
"Brother Li, what is a pirate?" Chen Zheng asked.
Bandits at sea? Isn't that a pirate?
Li Shuang snorted lightly and said, "It is rumored that the pirates are not my race, but the rogues of the Fusang country in the sea. ”
"Fuso Country?" Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows, this name is somewhat familiar.
Li Shuang nodded and continued: "Those rogues took fast boats and often came to our Liang country's seaside towns to plunder. Our Dongyang County is adjacent to the sea, and every year we invest a lot of manpower and material resources to prevent pirates. ”
"Were those children really taken by the pirates?" Chen Zheng asked.
Li Shuang sighed and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, otherwise my father would not have taken so many people to Horngou Village." ”
"Can you get it back?" Chen Zheng asked, but he didn't know what he was asking.
Sure enough, Li Shuang didn't answer this question, just found a rag to wipe the table.
The well-fed diners patted their stomachs one by one and left, satisfied.
Originally, many people came here to save face for the county order, but after eating this barbecue, this appetite was really stopped.
"Bi Yuanwai, will you come tomorrow?" The shopkeeper of the Xicheng Pharmacy King asked.
Bi Yuanwai frowned and thought for a long time before replying: "I have eaten too much today, or the day after tomorrow." ”
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly grabbed Bi Yuanwai's sleeve and said, "Don't, such a delicious barbecue, I will be hungry if I don't eat it for a day." ”
"But this person is old and can't digest it!" Bi Yuanwai patted his belly and said very entangledly.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "That's it?" Easy to do! ”
"Easy to do?" Bi Yuanwai's eyes lit up, "What should I do?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang patted his chest and said, "You forget, I am a medicine shop, go to my place to get a pair of appetizing and digestible medicines, drink it tonight, and come to eat meat tomorrow!" ”
Bi Yuanwai grabbed the hand of the shopkeeper Wang pulling his sleeve, and said happily: "There are such good things, hurry up and get them with me." ”
Shopkeeper Wang smiled slightly, pulled Bi Yuan, and said as he walked: "Bi Yuan, I have something better than the good medicine for eating and appetizing!" ”
"What other good things, rest assured, I'm not short of money!" Bi Yuan Wai Dao.
Shopkeeper Wang leaned in and whispered, "I recently got a prescription that can make you feel young again, hehe." ”
Bi Yuanwai didn't understand it at first, but after looking at the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang, he immediately understood, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up!" ”
