Chapter 92: Why Many People Died of Poisoning (Part 2)
All the officials saw the official and heard the words of the official and were about to cry out with emotion, it was not easy, and finally they got through it, looking at the food in front of them, they felt that this thing should exist in the heavenly palace, not the mortal world, and it was so delicious to take a bite.
There was an official who didn't know whether he was smoked by the spicy taste of the small root vegetables, or moved, tears flowed down, looking at the officials waiting there to listen to the orders, it was like seeing his father and mother, that dear.
Seeing that everyone's expressions seemed to be a little wrong, and their emotions were not so stable, the official had to ask again, "Ladies and gentlemen, how should we arrange tomorrow?" Is it a boat on the water, or a trip to enjoy the scenery? ”
"Ask, ask, can you go back? Belch! An official ate two small vegetable boxes in a row, choked on his words, hurriedly poured a mouthful of soup, straightened his neck and breathed after a while, looked at the servant, and waited for a reply.
"What? Get back? This one....... ”
"Little brother, don't worry, go back to Ben, oh no, let's give the money for this meal, ten taels per person, no, twenty taels of silver, the little brother has also worked hard, naturally there will be no shortage of the little brother's share." When the other man heard the officer's question, he opened his mouth and said a bunch of words, he was really afraid, and if he stayed any longer, he might have to stay in the village for his life.
"It's not necessary, I mean, you really don't want to have some fun here? At night, when the crescent moon is in the sky, the water is clear, the breeze is gentle, and you can think of more interesting things when you paddle slowly. ”
The officials never imagined that their words would elicit such a big reaction, and all the officials stopped their chopsticks and listened attentively.
"Thank you little brother for your kindness, these are all waiting for others to talk at this time, I have to rush back to see the disaster situation in the county, the people's affairs are important."
The official who had just started to speak then continued, he was really scared, why did he think of something interesting? In this place, the first thing that comes to mind is how to pick up the water, buckets and buckets, not counting the water in them, just saying that the wooden barrels are not light.
Hurriedly made an excuse, saying that he wanted to go back to the county to check the disaster, but in fact, he was hiding as far as he could, and he would not come to this place in the next life.
The official who was still hesitating there, and the official who said that he wanted to give money also took over and said: "This meal is thirty taels of silver, and all the brothers in the county will each have five taels of silver, and I will give it when I go back." ”
With him taking the lead, other officials also understood that this was a lack of money, and they all followed suit, and some even had to make a note on the spot.
In this way, Cheng County's order was alarmed, and he went here with the two waiters, and heard that the officials said that they were willing to spend more money to pay for the meal, and said with a smile: "My lords, the lower officials know that the adults are willing to take out this money not only to eat a few meals, but to help Sanshui County survive this drought. ”
As soon as he said this, plus there were two squires there, everyone didn't dare to regret it, as long as Cheng Xianling said it in the last chapter, then they didn't just come out to play according to the rules, and they estimated how much money they had to come up with.
It's not that I don't know, I regret it as soon as I calculate it, especially the first person who spoke just now, who was staring at other people at this time, and gave thirty taels of silver for the meal, after all, it was eaten in the stomach, but the money of five taels of silver for each officer? How many officials are there in Sanshui County?
There were two officials here, and these officials could only accept it again, and then began to eat the food on the table vigorously, hoping to eat all the money back, and the soup was also drunk bowl after bowl.
Cheng Xianling didn't bother, turned around and left, and ate his own food, his food was better, especially the small root vegetable box, other people's boxes may be able to wrap some mountain garlic, his inside is full of tender small root vegetables, and the villagers specially pickled some good small root vegetables with salt, which can be described as fresh and spicy when eaten in the mouth.
When these people were eating, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also eating, and they seemed to think of it together, what they made here was also a small root vegetable box and cat ear soup, the only difference was that other people's small root vegetable boxes only had small root vegetables and eggs, and shrimp meat was added to what they ate.
Three-inch-long shrimp, some restaurants have to use to make whole shrimp dishes, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan chopped the shrimp and wrapped it in a box, and the small root vegetables should also be soaked in water for a while, so that they are not so spicy to eat, and the tender small root vegetables will not stuff their teeth.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it tastes so good with the small root vegetable and the cat ear soup, especially the spicy taste of the small root vegetable in the mouth, and then take a sip of the soup, the cat ears are really fluffy, and there is an earthy smell in the mouth, and a little numb tongue, I have never eaten it."
Wang Juan took a bite of the small box specially made for her and Zhang Xiaobao, took another sip of soup, squinted his eyes with long eyelashes, and said happily.
"Well, I always ate when I was a child, there are rivers and mountains behind the orphanage, grandpa took me to dig cat ears over there, pick small root vegetables, and meet the red in the mountains on the mountain, come back to make food, usually made into boxes, less white noodles, more bud rice noodles, and then drink cat ear soup, every time I eat I feel the happiest time.
At that time, I was poor, there were few people who gave money, and I came to give some fruit, and my younger brothers and sisters and I had to wear clothes, thinking that the poor were eating that thing, but when I grew up, I found that that thing was more expensive than normal dishes, you say it's ridiculous?
When I finally went, I heard that a pound of tender small root vegetables cost 14 yuan, and the meat was only 9 yuan, at that time, if anyone was willing to change, we were willing to exchange a pound of small root vegetables for a pound of meat, have you seen the photo of me when I was a child? The skinny monkey grinned at the sight of it.
Eat it, you don't eat that kind, there are shrimp in it, eat it, don't waste it, I got rich later, it doesn't matter if it's expensive to eat, but I never throw anything. ”
Zhang Xiaobao took a bite of the box, whining there, full of nostalgia.
Wang Juan didn't know whether to be envious or sad when he heard it, so he took a sip of soup, "Then why don't you catch fish and shrimp in the river, the little baby here will do." ”
"Who said that I didn't catch enough, I caught it and sold it for money, the things in the river are worthless, the shrimp are only an inch long, and the fish are two or three inches, the dean's grandfather can't sell it for much, and then it was polluted by the starch factory, and even that little thing can't be obtained, so everyone goes to the mountains to dig up the roots of the mother-in-law, that is, dandelion, which is a kind of medicinal material, which can be sold for money.
There are all kinds of artemisia, all the ones that can be eaten, and there is a plant commonly known as parsnip, which sells better, and is particularly useful for treating allergies, faster than any medicine, as long as the water is boiled out, the pimples on the body that are allergic to can be wiped with the water, and it will not take a minute to disappear.
When I was five years old, I had a nine-year-old brother who was bitten by a snake because he was digging in the mountains, and we all called the snake grass, which was not so poisonous that the blood molecules would never be destroyed in a few minutes or even seconds.
The dean's grandfather went out to inject serum on his back, the serum was not expensive at that time, and the hospital was developing well, not to mention letting you take a bite, biting eight out of ten, as long as you send it over for injection, not to mention the treatment of children in the orphanage, it will not charge so much money, and it can even be treated for free.
But at that time, just in time for an official from the medical department in the province, Grandpa was stopped outside, saying that he would not be allowed to enter, and the official was going to inspect the hospital for three days, and Grandpa had no choice, he wanted to go to other cities, and people would not care about the orphans on your side.
In the end, I got a little black fire and pasted it on the elder brother's leg, and two days later, the leg was swollen as thick as the waist, and the official left, and then went to the hospital, but it was too late, and it dragged on for a week and died. ”
Zhang Xiaobao seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his face still had a happy expression when eating, and as he spoke, he picked out some shrimp meat and put it on the plate in front of Wang Juan.
Wang Juan didn't eat at all, he was stunned there for a while, and looked at Zhang Xiaobao, "Then you didn't retaliate?" I think you're the one who values this aspect the most. ”
"Comrade Wang Juan, you are wrong about this, why should you retaliate? People have mistakes, naturally there is a law to solve them, but you can't know the law and break the law, this is unacceptable, I don't have such a strong sense of revenge, a good person, it was God who did things, that official, and the related twenty-six people, were accidentally bitten by snakes.
It was bitten by a snake called Taipan snake, why do you say it's so incredible, that snake is not in Asia, it lives in desert areas, and usually does not take the initiative to attack people, do you say it is a tourist? Or someone smuggled it.
It's so probable, doesn't that person know that being bitten by this snake only has a few minutes of reaction time? Those people died a miserable death, the blood is coagulated, this is really an eye-opener, good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, do more good things. ”
Zhang Xiaobao looked compassionate, and sandwiched a slightly older cat ear in Wang Juan's soup bowl.
"The July 12 tragedy, the president of a hospital, the vice president and a provincial and ministerial-level senior official were bitten to death by a Taipan snake, because he knew the poison of the snake before he died, and he also called for help, and his face was hopeless when he died, and he couldn't find clues, so you did it? Just because a child died in the orphanage. Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao and felt a little frightened.
"It's not me, you don't have any proof to prove that they have a bad idea, really."
