Chapter 20 Jindou Restaurant
Cheng Zizi whispered: "My mother is literate and taught me, but now my mother is sick." ”
Li Rizhi didn't think there was anything great about literacy, he said: "You sell pheasants to make more money, and then buy medicine for your mother, right?" ”
Cheng Zizi nodded hurriedly, the reason why he ran more than ten miles to this big town to sell pheasants was to sell pheasants for more money, after all, his family was in urgent need of life-saving money!
"That person from Jindou Restaurant, how did he lie to you, you can tell me, I'll see if I can help you and get the two pheasants back for you!" Li Rizhi said.
Cheng Zi was overjoyed, just like a desperate person suddenly saw hope, he hurriedly said: "Really, can you help me get the pheasant back?" That's right, I'm going to Jindou Restaurant today to sell pheasants......"
This evening, Li Rizhi wanted to invite Cheng Zizai to eat crescent wontons, but Cheng Zizi didn't eat it, he was in a hurry to sell the pheasant, so he asked people which restaurant was the biggest, that is, Jindou Restaurant, so he went there to sell pheasants.
The shopkeeper saw that the pheasant was very big and very beautiful, so he said that he wanted to buy it, but he didn't let him wait at the front door, took him to the backyard of the restaurant, and brought the two pheasants into the kitchen, saying that he was going to find the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper to give him money.
Cheng Zizi waited at the door of the kitchen with joy, although there was a burst of aroma from the kitchen, he was tired and hungry, but he always waited patiently, and did not ask the people in the kitchen for food.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back and gave Cheng Zizi twenty yuan, which is the money of a pheasant, which is equivalent to ten yuan for a pheasant, this price is absolutely low to the point of being ridiculously low, even if it is an ordinary chicken, it costs more than 100 yuan, and ten yuan can't buy it!
Of course Cheng Zizi is unwilling, although he is young, he also knows that the value of those two pheasants is definitely more than consistent, and even selling a pheasant is always a high price, and now give him twenty Wen, no matter how young he is, he knows that he has met a liar.
Of course he has to shout, he wants the man to give him back the pheasant, can't he sell it!
But at this time, the shopkeeper of Jindou Restaurant came, and accused him in the backyard, saying that he sent two chickens, and they were sick plague chickens, and it was impossible to make a dish for the guests to eat, and in order to prevent the two plague chickens from spreading the disease to other chickens, they threw them directly into the fire and burned the two plague chickens to the point that no bones remained.
Cheng Zizi cried, he had to return the chicken, but the shopkeeper said to give him twenty wen, because he pitied him, otherwise he didn't even have to give the twenty wen, Cheng Zizi was anxious, and the shopkeeper fought, he was young, but his skills were not weak, and he had the upper hand in the fight, but he accidentally hit the table and broke a bowl.
How could the guy in the restaurant watch the shopkeeper fighting with a child, and immediately stepped forward to help, pushed Cheng Zizi away, pressed him to the ground and kicked a few legs, and then drove out of the backyard of the restaurant.
The shopkeeper also threatened Cheng Zizi, saying that the bowl was worth 30 Wen, so they also snatched the 20 Wen back, and said that if Cheng Zizi came to make noise again, he would be sent to the official, because selling plague chickens was a violation of the law, and the shopkeeper also knew the county magistrate, and he could directly beat Cheng Zizi to death.
Cheng Zizi was kicked out, hungry, tired, scared and sad, he was a little child, what could he do, he had to find a place to cry in the middle of the night, and accidentally found Li Rizhi under the window!
Li Rizhi listened to what happened, and said strangely: "You gave those two pheasants to the shopkeeper, and you didn't see where the shopkeeper got them?" ”
Cheng Zizi shook his head, the shopkeeper wanted to show the pheasant to the shopkeeper, he let him see it, he never thought that there would be such a bad person in this world, take someone else's things, and then turn around and don't admit it!
Li Rizhi frowned, thought for a while, and said: "They took away your pheasant, they will definitely not admit it, unless they send someone to search, but the search is useless, because even if the two pheasants are found, they may have been eaten, and only the feathers are left, but you can't be sure that it's your pheasant, and they will definitely find witnesses, saying that the feathers are not yours, anyway, you just can't get the pheasants back!" ”
Cheng Zizai's tears fell again, and he choked up and said: "Dad is gone, my mother is sick, very sick, and the doctor said that if you delay it any longer, your mother will leave!" ”
Li Rizhi was silent for a long time, he understood that Cheng Zizai said "go", the meaning of this word is "death", Cheng Zizai's father died, his mother was seriously ill, and he finally caught two beautiful pheasants, waiting to sell money to his mother for medical treatment, but he was deceived by the shopkeeper and his buddies of Jindou Restaurant.
Li Rizhi wanted to comfort Cheng Zizai, but he felt that he couldn't be comforted, after all, in the eyes of others, it was a matter of two pheasants, but in Cheng Zizai's eyes, it was a matter of whether his mother would "go", and people who had nothing to do with themselves could say that they were not two pheasants, but for the victim, it was his mother's life!
Li Rizhi thought for a while, and then said: "My family runs a pharmacy, you can go to my family's pharmacy to get the medicine that your mother needs, and the medicine money can be owed first, and it will not be too late later." ”
Cheng Zizi wiped away his tears, and he said in surprise: "Really, really? ”
Li Rizhi hummed and said, "Really, my family runs a Liufen Medical Center, and the sitting doctor is my father!" ”
Cheng Zizi knelt down for Li Rizhi, kowtowed a few times, and said, "Thank you, little master, little master!" ”
Li Rizhi thought to himself: "This kid is too easy to trust others, if I lie to him, won't his heads be in vain!" Pull up Cheng Zizi, don't let him kowtow like this again.
Li Ri knew: "However, whether the shopkeeper of Jindou Restaurant deceived your pheasant, this still needs to be investigated, it's not that I don't believe you, but the case, you can't listen to it and believe it!" ”
Cheng Zizi nodded again and again, and said, "The little master can go and check, the villain is definitely not lying!" ”
At this time, Zheng Gangling's voice suddenly came from the window: "Don't be ashamed, you still handle cases, you are young, and you are not a person in the government, what kind of case can you handle?" ”
Li Rizhi turned around and opened the window, and saw that Zheng Gangling had woken up and was sitting up from the bed, he smiled and said: "My nephew is young, not an official, but I don't have an uncle, my uncle is a county official!" ”
Zheng Gangling snorted and said, "Go and call Duan Baokang and Zhang Laoliu up, as soon as you tell the matter, they will know what to do, they are the best at this kind of thing!" ”
The errand officer in the county government has countless means to deal with merchants, and if you use one means a day, you can use it for a hundred days in a row, and there is absolutely no duplicate!
Li Rizhi agreed, closed the window, and took Cheng Zizi into the store to find Duan Baokang and Zhang Laoliu.
Duan Zhutou and Zhang Zhutou were asleep, and after being woken up by the knock on the door, of course they were a little unhappy, it can be seen that it was Li Rizhi, and the displeasure immediately became indifferent, and it didn't matter if they slept for a while, and then they heard Li Rizhi say that the shopkeeper of Jindou Restaurant might be suspected of fraud, and they immediately changed from indifferent to elated!
For the catch, their favorite is this kind of businessman who commits a crime, they simply love this kind of case, and they look forward to the businessman breaking the law all day long, the reason is very simple, first, the businessman is rich, and the second is that the businessman is timid, anyway, regardless of whether the businessman has broken the law or not, as long as the catcher comes to the door, the businessman has to obediently hand over some filial piety money, there will be benefits, and nine out of ten will be stable.
Duan Baokang and Zhang Laoliu heard that it was the county magistrate who confessed, and they didn't sleep anymore, so they immediately got up, took out the official clothes from their baggage, and after dressing up neatly, they left the inn with a waist knife in their hands, and went straight to Jindou Restaurant!
Li Rizhi took Cheng Zizi to the lobby of the inn, the lobby of the inn is a specialty for food, but it has long been closed, and the stools are placed on the table, Li Rizhi instructed the store guy, the shop guy who was going to rush Cheng Zizi to go just now, let him clean up a table, and he and Cheng Zizai sat down.
Li Ri knew: "Are you hungry, I ate crescent wontons today, it's delicious, dip it in vinegar and eat it, it's delicious, you can't eat it, I'll ask the guy to get you a bowl out, well, I have to have a bowl too!" ”
Cheng Zizi swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and whispered: "Villain, villain has no money!" He hadn't eaten dinner, and he was already hungry with his chest pressed against his back.
"I invite you!" Li Rizhi said with a smile, he said to the guy: "Go and get two bowls of crescent wontons, hurry up, I want mutton filling, Cheng Zizi, what kind of stuffing do you want?" ”
Cheng Zizi didn't know what stuffing he should want, and before he could think about it, the shopkeeper said: "Little master, you're joking, it's the middle of the night, I might make you crescent wontons, and when it's ready, it's tomorrow morning." Why don't you look at this way, there are meat steamed buns in the kitchen, mutton and green onion filling, warm, you can eat at any time, two of you each, and then drink a bowl of hot soup, this is okay? ”
There is a special meal for people who are easy to get hungry at night, so that the guests will not be hungry in the middle of the night, after all, this is business, and it is a little more to make more money.
Li Rizhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, then the meat steamed bun is good, and I'll invite you to eat crescent wontons tomorrow!" ”
Cheng Zizi nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you, little master, what is your name, little master, I will send you all the good game I have in the future!" ”
"My name is Li Rizhi, but I'm going to study at Shangyang Academy, and I don't live in the city, so I may not be able to eat your game!"
The meat steamed buns and hot soup were served, and the two children chatted while eating, waiting for Duan Baokang and them to come back.
Let's say that Duan Baokang and Zhang Laoliu rushed to the Jindou Restaurant excitedly, Duan Baokang flew up and kicked on the door of the restaurant, and then shouted: "The official is handling the case, the people inside have listened, open the door quickly, otherwise they will be punished according to the punishment of resisting arrest, no matter whether it is right or wrong, and the first 20 kills will be killed!" ”
Of course, he shouted this to scare people, and he wouldn't really want to kill someone because the other party opened the door a little slower, but the official mission to handle the case, first of all, he must have momentum, don't kick harder, shout louder, where does the momentum come from!
Jindou Restaurant does not do accommodation business, and there are no night vigil guys in the lobby, the shopkeeper and the guys live in the backyard, and when they hear the sound in front of them and run to open the door, Duan Baokang's feet are about to be swollen!
No matter who you are, if you kick the door more than a dozen times in a row, your feet will hurt, and this is no exception!
Seeing the door open, Duan Baokang glared and said, "The door of your house...... It's really sturdy, what kind of wood is it made of? ”
