Chapter 90: The Ghost Lingers
Recently, Xin's restaurant has frequently encountered strange things, first of all, a guest said that he had eaten insects in the dish, Xin Ping offered to compensate privately, but the guest did not spare the trouble in the restaurant, and seemed to want to make the matter as big as possible.
After this matter finally subsided, there were new rumors in Luonan City that the vegetables sold by the Xin family restaurant were cut from the corpse, and the restaurant business plummeted.
Jiao Niang faintly sensed that something was wrong, and specially sat in the store for several days, and finally let her meet the legendary person who smashed the field.
As soon as the old man and lady entered the door, they noticed them, because as soon as they entered the restaurant, they began to look around, not like they came to eat, but as if they were observing the environment.
The old man and the old lady's clothes were coarse cloth, and they didn't look like rich people, but they came up and ordered a relatively expensive tea and shrimp. Jiao Niang beckoned to Xin Ping, and after a whisper, Xin Ping glanced at the old man and the old lady and went out.
When the old man and the old lady were full of wine and food, they began to perform wonderfully, and they all lay on the ground holding their stomachs and "oops".
Li Lilai was startled, and hurriedly wanted to help the person up, but the old man and the old lady rolled around on the ground and didn't give him a chance to help.
Jiao Niang sneered: "Don't help Lilai, let them love to get out, let them get out." ”
The old man and the old lady immediately howled like killing a pig: "Oh, there is something wrong with the food in this house, and my stomach hurts after eating it!" This shop is a black shop......"
The rest of the people who were supposed to enter the store were scared away by this momentum, and only a few regular customers still entered the store to eat.
"Miss Xin, who has your family offended? It's disgusting to find these two old guys to spill and sell miserably. A regular customer teased.
"Hey, I'd like to know that too. Why don't you go to the box on the second floor and sit down, don't be disturbed by these two splashes. The lady sighed as if she had a headache.
When the old man and lady heard this, they rolled to the top of the stairs and blocked the way up the stairs, and the familiar customers who provoked them scolded them.
Jiao Niang is not in a hurry, holding a cup of homemade flower tea and drinking it comfortably.
"Your Excellency is these two old things!" Xin Ping walked into the restaurant with the official errand and the person who looked like Lang Zhong.
The old man and the old lady saw that an official was coming, stopped rolling and just lay on the ground very weakly and said: "Ask the adults to be the masters of the grass people, the things in the Xin family restaurant have eaten our stomachs." ”
On the way to Xin Ping, he had already explained the situation to the official messenger, and the official messenger nodded to Lang Zhong next to him, and Lang Zhong went to check the pulse of the old man and the old lady.
At first, the old man and the old lady were unwilling, and they couldn't stand the intimidation of the officials, so they had to tremble and stretch out their hands to check Lang Zhong's pulse. After Lang Zhong carefully checked the pulse, he looked at the eyes of the two of them and checked their tongues, and then got up and replied: "My lord, there is nothing abnormal, the two of them are in good physical condition." ”
When the old man and the old lady heard it, they didn't say that their stomach hurt, but directly pointed at Lang Zhong and scolded, and between his words, he pointed to Xin Ping for buying Lang Zhong to frame a good person.
Na Langzhong was very angry when he heard this, and said: "I have been practicing medicine for decades in Luonan City's 'Jishantang', not to mention that I am highly respected, but I have medical ethics. If you have doubts and think that the little old man is lying, then find another Lang Zhong to come and see! ”
This Langzhong has been in Luonan City for a long time, and many people know him, and some people who are watching the excitement shouted loudly: "Liu Langzhong, we all believe in you!" ”
The old man and the old lady saw that the situation was not good, and they were a little wilted, and at this time the official wanted to arrest the old man and the old lady and go to the prison for interrogation, and the old man and the old lady were afraid, and they didn't have a stomachache, so they got up directly from the ground.
"My lord, the two of us have eaten enough, and now it doesn't hurt anymore." The old man arched his hand and hoped that the official would let them go, how could the official be so good at talking, and he was going to take them away immediately, and the two old men fell to their knees in fright.
"For their lonely and old age, spare them this time!" Jiao Niang couldn't bear to persuade the official errand, and even the bitter master was not pursued, and the official errand also withdrew the army.
The two old men hurriedly thanked Jiao Niang and left the Xin family restaurant in a hurry, and Xin Ping and they all walked away as if they had nothing to do.
"Oops, the two of us were fooled, she said that as long as she pretended to have a stomachache and fell to the ground, the shopkeeper would definitely give us a lot of money." The old woman was very angry when she thought that she had pretended to be crazy and stupid in the restaurant for a long time, but she didn't get anything.
"Wait, let her give us more silver, this kind of thing is very ruined." The old man thought the same.
By the time the two of them reached the agreed alley, the woman was already standing waiting for them.
"How?" The woman who asked the question was wearing a half-new old jacket, and a wooden hairpin was simply coiled on her head, and she couldn't wait to ask the old couple now.
"They found a man, and we were exposed at once. No, you have to add silver to us, and to do this kind of thing is to lose our lives! The old woman grabbed the woman's sleeve and had the posture of not letting the woman go without giving money.
The woman was also a ruthless character, and she pushed the old woman to the ground in one fell swoop: "It's so useless and embarrassed to ask for silver!" The first few are not as greedy as you. ”
The old couple went up and grabbed the woman, and the three of them scuffled together, and at this time, several officials rushed into the alley at the right time and arrested the three people.
Only then did the Jiao Niang brothers and sisters see clearly that this woman was actually Lin Caifeng! This Lin Caifeng took his father and mother to follow the Zhao family to escape from the desert, and on the way, Lin Yu's husband and wife were all killed. finally arrived in Luonan, because the Zhao family suffered serious financial losses and didn't want to support idlers, Zhao Sanye drove Lin Caifeng out of the Zhao family as soon as he put the paper concubine book.
Lin Caifeng, who lives on the streets, has no choice but to start a business of secret prostitution, and she is still young and beautiful, and she has saved a lot of money. By chance, she knew that Xin Jiao's family had opened a restaurant here, and the fire of jealousy burned her unconscious, and she began to buy people again and again to make trouble.
Xin Jiaoniang was a little speechless, this Lin Caifeng is like a vicious dog, as long as she catches the opportunity alive, she will bite her after all.
Xin Jiaoniang was no longer soft this time, she went directly to the yamen of Luonan City to sue Lin Caifeng, after interrogation, the previous meals had insects and spread rumors were all instigated by Lin Caifeng.
Coupled with this incident, Lin Caifeng was finally sentenced to exile for thousands of miles, and the grievances and grievances between the Xin family and Lin Caifeng's family were ended.
Afterwards, in order to make up for the reputation of the Xin family restaurant, Jiao Niang specially set up a "big stomach king competition" outside the restaurant. The rules are simple and crude: whoever can eat more roast chicken can take ten taels of silver.
Fang Yuanyuan especially wanted to participate in this competition, but in order to prevent others from saying that they were cheating for personal gain, Xin Ping simply refused.
Taking advantage of the "Big Stomach" competition that attracted a lot of traffic, Jiao Niang hurriedly told everyone the verdict of the Yamen: Xinjia Restaurant was framed, please patronize it.
Of course, this effect is also very good, and many people went directly into the restaurant to dine after the game.
The brothers and sisters of the Xin family breathed a sigh of relief.
