Chapter 107: Sugar Recipe
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can be regarded as coming, come on, Xie Yuanwai is going to kill me." The shopkeeper of the valley complained to the head of the government with a pitiful look.
The tall Xie Yuanwai saw the officer, stood up slowly, glared at the shopkeeper Gu who had changed his face, and respectfully said hello to the head of the officer.
The head of the official made a wooden face and took out a piece of paper, on which was a letter of pleading: "I have received a report, you are suspected of stealing, come with us." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people present were stunned.
The shopkeeper Gu looked at the paper in the hand of the head of the official and was immediately stunned. After coming back to his senses, the whole person panicked.
This, how is this possible?
He obviously did it very secretively, and even the people in the Sugar Heart Pavilion didn't find out, where did the paper come from?
"My lord, this, this is impossible, how can I steal something, you see that I am not a person who is short of money?" The palms of the shopkeeper Gu broke out in a cold sweat.
The head of the official glanced at him, and he already knew that this errand was not easy to handle, so he said coldly: "Won't you steal things if you don't lack money?" ”
The Gu shopkeeper was stunned when he was asked.
Xie Yuanwai on the side listened to the words of the two, and unabashedly sneered: "It turned out to be a thief, no wonder the things you make in this store are so unorthodox?" ”
"Thank you!" Shopkeeper Gu looked at Xie Yuanwai and was angry, "You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”
was pointed out as embarrassing and ridiculed, and the shopkeeper Gu naturally didn't want to endure it.
His shop has been smashed like this by this old horseman, what else does he want?
"I'm talking nonsense, this official is here, what's the matter, you still want to deny it?" Xie Yuanwai looked at the shopkeeper Gu with a smile on his face.
There were whispers of discussion all around, and the people passing by all pointed fingers at the behavior of the shopkeeper Gu.
Xie Yuanwai said well, if this valley shopkeeper really didn't do anything, how could the official come here with a paper, obviously this valley shopkeeper has a ghost.
"I deny it, I didn't do it at all, don't spew blood here."
As soon as you say a word to me, the two of you quarreled directly.
Several officials looked at each other, but they didn't expect this to be the case, looking at Xie Yuanwai, who pointed at the Gu shopkeeper's nose and scolded, the head of the government officials walked over and stopped Xie Yuanwai, who was so angry that he wanted to do it.
After a few quarrels, the shopkeeper of the valley was unhappy to cooperate, and he had to say the reason for the chief, otherwise he would not go to the county office.
The head of the government had naturally seen such a situation, and immediately beckoned a few of his subordinates to tie up the Gu shopkeeper.
Seeing those strong men approaching with ropes, the shopkeeper Gu was shocked, took two steps back and fell directly to the ground. Behind him was a pile of pastries that had been knocked down and overturned on the ground, and the whole person was planted in it, and the pastries were all sticky.
The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Lord Servant, I'm not too late." Seeing that the situation was out of control, Xi Duyun walked over with Cuiyun.
The crowd looked over.
"Isn't this the fiancée of the Qi Juren?" I don't know who shouted in the crowd.
Many people know Xi Duyun's name, the owner of the Sugar Heart Pavilion is still the fiancée of Qi Juren, and Qi Juren once refused the daughter of the county order for her, and many people want to see if this girl is the best in the country.
Now I look at it, the person who came is dressed in plain clothes, his eyebrows and eyes are calm, and his expression is not shocked in the face of everyone's scrutiny, and he is a girl with full momentum.
However, this Xi Duyun just told the official that she was not late, could it be that she had something to do with what happened to the Gu shopkeeper's house today?
The people present were full of discussions.
Xi Duyun was completely unaffected by their remarks, and smiled at the official and Xie Yuanwai.
"Miss Xi." The official nodded.
Shopkeeper Gu looked at the bright little girl, his heart was shocked, and the moment he got up, he only felt that his legs were about to be unstable.
He thought that he probably knew what the head of the government had said about the theft.
Xi Duyun, this half-grown girl actually knows, she actually knows!
He clenched his hand at his side, his eyes fixed on Xi Duyun, his round eyes revealing coolness. The whole book
"Shopkeeper Gu, so far, don't you want to admit it, is it possible, do you want me to tell your ugly behavior in front of the audience?" Looking at the middle-aged man, Xi Duyun's eyebrows were cold, and he didn't show any pity.
She has always been a shopkeeper who does not offend me, I do not offend anyone, and this valley shopkeeper came to the door to find a lesson, and she always had to accept it.
Shopkeeper Gu clenched his fists, and after all, he didn't speak again.
The officials quickly took the Gu shopkeeper away in the name of theft.
As for Xie Yuan, if he damaged the things of the Gu shopkeeper, he naturally had to pay compensation, but since the Gu shopkeeper stole something and caused other people's daughters to vomit for a long time, it was also excusable, so he let him pay half of the compensation.
Xie Yuanwai started as a timberman, and he came into contact with all kinds of big families, and the little belongings in Gu's shopkeeper were just things that leaked out of his fingers every day.
With a wave of his hand, he paid back directly.
However, this silver did not fall into the hands of the Gu shopkeeper in the end, and the new county magistrate of Qi County directly awarded the silver to Xi Duyun as compensation for the Gu shopkeeper's stealing of people's money and craftsmanship.
A total of five hundred taels of silver can catch up with all the income since the opening of the Sugar Heart Pavilion.
Xi Duyun took the silver ticket and thanked the black-hearted shopkeeper Gu in his heart.
The shopkeeper of Gu, who stole things and stole his crafts, was sentenced to half a year's imprisonment, and he had to be an accomplice, the woman from the Sugar Heart Pavilion, who was already kidnapped and handed over to the government this morning, and it is said that the woman was sentenced to four months in prison.
Before being sentenced, the shopkeeper Gu was reluctant and asked Xi Duyun how he learned that he had a plan, and Xi Duyun told him all of his kindness.
Shopkeeper Gu smiled stupidly: "What a Xi Duyun, since you know that I took your sugar recipe, aren't you afraid that I will come out and steal your business in the future?" ”
Xi Duyun looked at the Gu shopkeeper with his hair scattered, and his face was indifferent: "You won't have this opportunity." ”
Shopkeeper Gu didn't understand what she meant.
In front of everyone, Xi Duyun directly told the method of making sugar, and told the county order that she wanted to promote the method of sugarcane extraction, which would also be convenient for the people.
The shopkeeper is going crazy.
The sugar recipe he finally obtained, this Xi Duyun actually wants to promote it?
So what did he get with all his painstaking efforts.
The shop was smashed and you have to go to jail?
The shopkeeper glared at Xi Duyun viciously, his grim eyes as if he was about to swallow Xi Duyun alive.
……
In the courtyard, Xi Duyun gave all the silver tickets to Qi Lichen.
"Give it to me?" Qi Lichen was a little surprised.
Xi Duyun nodded, folded the silver ticket and put it in the palm of his hand: "I know you don't lack this bit of silver, but the previous renovation of the Sugar Heart Pavilion was the silver you gave you, and this is what I returned to you." ”
"Give it back to me?" Qi Lichen's tone was not very good.
Sensing that he might have misunderstood, Xi Duyun hurriedly explained: "I didn't distinguish between you and me, it's just that we said at the beginning, how I tossed you and didn't care, but later, you didn't help me rectify it, so much silver, it's nothing to you, but to me, it's extraordinary." ”
What she wants has always been obtained by herself.
Qi Lichen knew what she meant in his heart, but he was still a little depressed after all.
Dead wood, Xi Duyun looked at him quietly for a while, then got up and kissed him lightly on the face: "Don't be upset, you should treat these five hundred taels of silver as if I put it with you, lest I lose it, how about it." ”
She coaxed the child to coax him.
After a while, Qi Lichen, whose face was dull, finally couldn't bear to continue to cold her.
The two of them were tired of being in the courtyard for a while, and Bai Ye hurried over with a letter in his hand.
"Childe." He landed with his sword in his hand, his expression solemn.
Both of them looked over.
Xi Duyun was very familiar with the current affairs and said, "You go and get busy first, I'm also going to prepare to promote my sugar recipe." ”
