Chapter 196: Hurting People with Strength
I really think this inn is my own home.
"Okay, the food will be coming soon." Chen Ping nodded with Chen Cripple and motioned for him to go to the back kitchen and order someone to cook.
The inn was crowded with people, most of them were guests who ate in the restaurant on weekdays, and when they saw that Chen Ping really asked people to cook, they felt that Chen Ping was too relenting.
"These people obviously want to eat white food, how can they really make it for them." A person standing next to Chen Ping said, "I don't think they are here to eat, it's true that they are here to make trouble." ”
The eyes of the people are not blind, these five people are dressed in tatters, messing around, one person has a plate of braised pork, and another plate of grilled fish, where can they eat.
"The guest inn will not refuse any diners who come here to eat, these five people have come from far away to make a special trip for the signature dishes in the inn, that is the guests in my store, and it is a great honor for my family's food reputation to spread to the states and counties in the north." Chen Ping saluted the surroundings and said loudly, "When the emperor was there, he was routinely thrifty, and the kid was a citizen of the Great Sui, and the store has been simple and thrifty since its opening. If you want to open the emperor's year, there was a famine in the Guan, the emperor was benevolent, and led the people in Guanzhong to eat outside the Guanzhong, so what reason do we have to waste food? ”
"Well, that's right, it's so, diligence and thrift are the way to run a family, and the country should be the same." Someone nodded with Chen Ping.
Chen Ping smiled, and then looked at the five people on the floor: "Since you have ordered so many meals, you should have eaten them all." If you waste food, you must take a few of you to the county government and find the county order to evaluate and judge. ”
In this last sentence, Chen Ping roared, his voice was low and his momentum was loud, which shocked the five of them.
"The five of us will finish eating." The leading homeless man was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would talk about how many of them would be able to help him after eating, so he replied.
"That's for the best." Chen Ping spoke, then stopped speaking, and looked at the crowd outside the door, Xu Youmao was mixed in the crowd, watching this good show.
In the crowd, Xu Youmao didn't expect that Chen Ping really let Wang Changshu and a few people into the restaurant. And according to the request, it really makes people cook.
"It's really childish, see how long you can last." Xu Youmao said secretly, and his heart was even more happy.
After a while, the braised pork came up, and five plates were placed in front of the five people of Wang Changshu.
The color and flavor are complete, and before they fall, Wang Changshu and a few people took it and directly grabbed it with their hands to eat.
"Yes, it tastes good." Wang Changshu ate the braised pork, and his eyes immediately narrowed, different from what he ate yesterday, the taste of this braised pork is even more delicious.
Several people did come from the north, in order to escape the conscription, they fled all the way, and more than 100 people entered Liuhe County, begging for food in various places inside and outside the county.
A few days ago, Wang Changshu was looking for someone who needed help, and a person suddenly came to him, saying that as long as he did one thing, he could get a tael of silver, and some could eat and drink for free.
Such a good deal, Wang Changshu didn't think about it, and directly responded to it. Now it seems that this work is really good, some money is earned, and it can be eaten and drunk for free.
Jiangnan is really rich.
A plate full of braised pork, Wang Changshu almost burst into tears after eating, the children in this restaurant are really scared, and they are so confused, and after eating this meal, they have to come again tomorrow.
In less than a quarter of an hour, five plates of braised pork made Wang Changshu and several people eat with their mouths full of oil, and their stomachs were also propped up.
"What kind of meat are you? I have a stomachache when I eat, forget it, I don't care about you today, I'll go back first, I have to find a toilet to put it. The amount of braised pork was very large, and Wang Changshu burped, thinking that the food in the next few days was finally guaranteed, so he got up to leave.
When I come tomorrow, I have to go to the river and get a few lotus leaves, so that I can wrap this meat and go back so that my wife and children can taste it.
"I'm afraid this won't work, you see, the grilled fish is here, and it has to be eaten to finish." Chen Ping stopped in front of several people and pointed to the cripple Chen who was coming over with an iron plate.
The grilled fish is packed on a special iron plate, and the fish in Chen's hand is two feet long, and it is a little difficult for one person to carry it, and when he arrives in the hall, Chen Laozi immediately puts it down.
"The remaining four and so on can come up, you should know, the fish in my store are raised in a large clay pot, freshly killed, and then slowly roasted with charcoal, it will take some time, I am really sorry for the slow treatment of everyone." Chen Ping said apologetically to Tong Wang, "You are really hungry when you want to come, so I asked the cook to make a big one." ”
Wang Changshu's face was a little ugly, and the other four were the same.
"I'll take this fish back and eat it." I really can't eat it anymore, Wang Chang said.
"That's not possible, if it's ordered, then you have to finish it. If you want to take it away, then it will be done, and you must pay the money first. Chen Ping said.
In just a while, the other four grilled fish will come up one after another and be placed on the ground, each of which is not small.
"How much silver?" Wang Changshu asked.
"Not much, braised pork is 500 copper coins, and grilled fish is more expensive, 5 baht for 1,000 pieces." Chen Ping said softly.
Wang Changshu opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and the money he got from Xu Youmao was only one or two pieces of silver, and this meal of braised pork and fish had to be 1,050 copper coins. He came to make trouble, not to eat, and he didn't want to give this money, and he couldn't take it out: "Just a few plates of pork meat, and a few fish, you will ask for 1,500 copper coins, why don't you be the thief." ”
"You're wrong, not a thousand five." Chen Ping shook his head and said seriously, "Each plate of braised pork is 500 wen, and I will calculate the fish for you according to the smallest, 1,000 wen per piece. ”
Physiognomy novelty? These words fell on the ears of the surrounding onlookers, and some of them reacted quickly, and they all chuckled.
This kid who talks about Twain has a smile on his face, but he is really weird, this is a joke, it is really a good show.
Wang Changshu was settling accounts, but he didn't figure out how much money he had to ask for a while, and he glared and said, "Do you really think I'm stupid?" Tell you, I don't have any money on me, you can keep the fish and eat it yourself, and I'll pay for it tomorrow. ”
"So you're trying to pay the bill?" Chen Ping snorted coldly, "You said that you came from the north, looking at your dress, I think you came from the counties of Henan to escape from the army." The emperor mobilized men and women from various counties in Henan to dig ditches, which was to connect the north and south, and supply the northern states and counties with the abundant materials in the south of the Yangtze River. You don't want to serve the country, but you have escaped from forced labor, and now you are coming to my county to make trouble, what is the purpose? ”
Wang Changshu said that several people came out of the counties of Henan to the south, and it was indeed as Chen Ping said, in order to avoid the conscription. Conscription harms people, delays agricultural time, and is a heavy burden on people's lives, so some people will escape.
Not only Wang Changshu and a few people, but also refugees from other places. How did the conscription cost people's lives, but it became a benevolent government in the mouth of this kid?
Is it true that the emperor is building a ditch in order to mobilize the grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the north?
Wang Changshu was suspicious here, and Chen Ping spoke again: "You and others fled into Liuhe County, and the people of Liuhe County took pity on you and others, and did not report them, and they left a place for you and others to live, and even sent some food to relieve you and others." Now you are not just ungrateful, but you have come to the store to make trouble, do you really think that I and other people in Liuhe County are so easy to bully? ”
One hat after another was buttoned down, most of the people in the restaurant were from Jiangnan, and they were citizens of this county, listening to Chen Ping's pick, he couldn't stop nodding, and they all accused Wang Changshu.
The people's sentiment is surging, using his strength to hurt people and incite people's anger, Chen Ping's trick is becoming more and more handy. (To be continued.) )
