Chapter 55: She Cares About the City
Da Yang turned around and was about to go into the kitchen to cut beef, he saw that Mu Qiange had a countermeasure to deal with it, and his hanging heart slowly fell.
"Your things have already eaten people's stomachs, who dares to eat your things now?"
I saw that Da Yang brought two plates of braised beef, one was from his own tavern, and the other was wrapped in oiled paper by the woman on the ground.
Mu Qiange glanced at the aunt who spoke, and said calmly: "I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with these two dishes of beef, but I just want everyone to be a witness and see if these two dishes of beef are from a family?" ”
Seeing that no one stepped forward, the corners of Mu Qiange's mouth were slightly hooked, with a starry smile on his face.
"That's it, everyone who tastes it today has a tael of silver, just to help everyone distinguish these two dishes of beef."
"Qiange, this ......"
Da Yang looked at Mu Qiange with an embarrassed expression, these two pieces of silver are enough for ordinary people to live for a few months, and the business of their tavern is not good, so this time they have to take out their hard-earned silver.
"Brother Yang, believe me."
Mu Qiange cast a reassuring look, and Da Yang quickly took out a bag of white silver from the back room.
Seeing that there was really silver in the lively crowd, a bold aunt inside took the lead in front of Da Yang and tasted two dishes of beef.
"Well, do these two dishes of beef taste the same?"
The aunt was afraid that she would make a mistake, so she tasted another piece of beef on two plates.
"No, this one wrapped in oiled paper has a stronger flavor and a bit of wine. And the beef in this plate is more chewy and tastes more authentic. ”
Although this aunt said that it was seven or eight points more, it was not in the way, and the answer she wanted was that these two dishes of beef were not from the same family.
Mu Qiange personally took a tael of silver and put it in her aunt's hand, "This is yours, take it!" ”
When the crowd saw that the money was real, they rushed to try it.
After tasting the two plates of beef, she came to the unanimous answer that the two plates of beef were not from one family, and with the judgment of these people, she believed that today's silver would soon be earned.
Mu Qiange solved the crowd watching the excitement in front of him, and now he squatted in front of the woman holding the child.
"You also saw just now, the package of braised beef you took is not from my tavern, these people can testify."
The woman sitting on the ground burst into tears and cried very sadly, "Anyway, my son got sick after eating this beef!" It's rare that I'll talk nonsense about my son's life. ”
"Oops! Now that everything is clear, you can quickly take the child to the doctor! Don't mistake your child's condition. ”
The aunt who had received the benefit stepped forward and shouted, she got a tael of silver today, and she was happy in her heart, and she was a little hypocritically advised.
Mu Qiange saw that what the woman said did not seem to be false, and her sharp eyes saw that the child was still holding an unpeeled chestnut in her hand, and instantly understood the reason.
"Did the child eat the beef and then the chestnuts?"
The crying woman immediately looked up at Mu Qiange with a puzzled expression, "How do you know?" ”
"Don't you know that beef and chestnuts go hand in hand?"
The woman shook her head, only then did she realize in her heart that she was afraid that she had been calculated, and looked at Mu Qiange with a little more apology in her eyes.
"It's all because I'm confused, I came to you to trouble you without figuring things out, I'm really sorry today."
The woman holding the child stood up and bowed to Mu Qiange.
The woman's expression Mu Qiange was in full view, she shook her head, and said in a gentle tone: "It's okay, go and see the child!" Don't eat indiscriminately in the future. ”
As soon as the woman was gone, the crowd that had seen the commotion also departed.
Today, after being troubled by these people, Mu Qiange was no longer in the mood to cook, and after barely supporting a day, he closed early and went back to the house to rest.
"Qiange, today's events have been explained clearly to everyone, and I think it won't have much impact on our tavern."
Da Yang's mind is simple, Mu Qiange has a faint smile on his face, "Today's matter, I'm afraid that someone will calculate it, although I am bankrupt and avoid disasters, but this is all caused by braised vegetables, although I have explained it clearly to everyone, but no one who went to the tavern to eat today ordered braised vegetables." ”
"So what should I do, this braised vegetables are our signature dish, and most of the income depends on these braised vegetables."
At this time, Da Yang was not the only one who was in a hurry, although Mu Qiange had a smile on his face, he was still thinking about other ways in his heart.
"Is the first quarter of our sharing contract with Zuixian Lou expired?"
Da Yang had an idea, he hurriedly got up and went back to the house to take out the paper contract.
"The first quarter is due, Qiange, as long as Zuixianlou keeps its promises, even if we can't continue to operate this pickled vegetable in the future, we will also have a share of Zuixianlou."
Da Yang looked at the contract in his hand, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that the road to heaven and earth is real.
"It's still getting dark now, or we'll go to the Drunken Immortal Tower now."
Mu Qiange shook his head, "This kind of thing just happened today, go to the Drunken Immortal Building now to get a share, or wait a few days."
"Listen to you, Qiange, don't take today's matter to heart, even if this tavern can't be opened, I have the strength to support you and Xiao Yang."
Listening to Da Yang's heartfelt words, Mu Qiange's heart was warm, she had no regrets about having such a confidant in this life.
"Don't worry! It's just a small twist and turn, and I can handle it. ”
It was getting late, so Mu Qiange went back to her room to rest, what she didn't know was that at this time, a carrier pigeon flew into the capital and flew directly into someone's mansion.
After a cup of tea
"Master, a letter from Yicheng."
The attendant's name is Shishi, and he is the most powerful attendant by Ah Jin's side.
He handed a letter to Ah Jin, Ah Jin opened it and looked at it, and after a while, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
He stood up suddenly, his white and slender fingers clenching the letter tightly, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The stone was surprised, and the master seemed to be very happy...... It was the first time he had seen him so happy.
Even if he brought down Wu Guifei's woman, he never saw him show a happy look.
"Stone, prepare to go down, and rush to Yicheng immediately."
"Master?"
"Go!"
"Yes."
The stone didn't dare to ask more, so he was busy preparing.
As soon as the stone left, Ah Jin's face immediately showed an excited smile.
Great, Qiange is still in Yicheng. I have also searched for it myself, but I have not found anyone.
Li Yan, the out-of-tune kid, finally did a serious thing!
The letter said that Li Yan saw his jade pendant in Yicheng, and the jade pendant was hanging on a sister-in-law, and looking at the face of the sister-in-law, it should be the person Ah Jin was looking for, so he immediately sent a message to Ah Jin, asking Ah Jin to come to Yicheng to recognize the person in person.
From the capital to Yicheng, even if it is a fast horse, it will take four or five days, and Ah Jin makes people prepare a sweat and blood BMW that travels thousands of miles a day, so that it will only take two or three days to arrive in Yicheng.
At the thought of seeing Mu Qiange, Ah Jin smiled, and when the stone was ready to come back, he saw Ah Jin like this.
"Grandpa......"
Shi shivered all over, is this person in front of him really his master?
"Ready?"
Ah Jin retracted the look on his face and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Ready." Stone nodded.
"Let's go."
With a wave of his hand, the man walked out of the room.
"Master......" Shi ran out after him, and asked anxiously: "Master, you want to go out of Beijing again, don't you need to report to the emperor?" ”
Ah Jin snorted coldly, "I won't be able to go out after reporting to him, go quickly, don't delay the time when you are on the road, otherwise you are the only one who asks!" ”
Hearing Ah Jin say this, Shi shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly turned over and got on his horse.
But often things don't go as planned, and a shrill voice blocks the way of the two.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, the emperor is invited."
The anxious Ah Jin didn't want to pay attention to it, but his father-in-law's last sentence made him completely stunned.
"The emperor has restored the title of the noble concubine, and Jin will celebrate tonight."
Ah Jin turned over and dismounted, the expression on his face was cold and terrifying, "Father-in-law, please go back first, this king will arrive later." ”
"Then our family will go back to their lives first."
"Father-in-law walks slowly."
Shi looked at the prince beside him, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, such a prince was too scary.
"Stone, you haven't heard any news about Wu Guifei in the past few days?"
"Back to the prince, the slave didn't hear any news, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive tonight."
Hearing this, Ah Jin smiled faintly, "I can't hold my breath so much, I can't wait just after turning over." ”
"Prepare the carriage, let's go into the palace to meet my father."
"Yes, lord."
Ah Jin's mood is complicated along the way, and the rise of Wu Guifei means that her future road will be more difficult.
In the imperial study of the palace, Wu Guifei leaned on the Shu Emperor with tears in her eyes, looking at it all made me feel pity.
"Your Majesty, the concubines were able to restore their titles this time, they are all the emperor's poor concubines, and the concubines are grateful."
Emperor Shu patted Wu Guifei on the back and said in a gentle tone: "Jiao'er, how can I make you sad, you are my heart." ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Wu Guifei's eyes fluttered and she shouted softly.
Emperor Shu glanced at Concubine Wu gently, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.
Wu Guifei is a person-like person, she knows that the emperor can restore her title this time, and she must have something to help herself, and the look in her eyes is even more charming.
"Is there anything bothering the emperor? It's better to say it and see if Jiao'er can make some meager efforts. ”
Emperor Shu didn't hide it, and his tone was peaceful and approachable, as if he was narrating family life with Concubine Wu.
"The border is chaotic, and the rebels in the north are rising again, which is really a headache for me."
Hearing this, Wu Guifei's face was full of pride, she was only deprived of her title this time because of Ah Jin's matter, and the emperor did not send his family, most of the reason for this is because his brother is a general, he defended his family and defended the country, and he contributed too much blood and sweat to Shu Huang.
"Your Majesty, since there are rebels in the north, then you have to send someone to quell the chaos, so it's better to let the concubine's brother go! He's battle-hardened, and it's only fitting that he should go. ”
Emperor Shu was embarrassed: "You mean General Wu?" ”
Wu Guifei nodded, and said in a coquettish voice: "Yes! It is the elder brother of the concubine, General Wu. In fact, the concubines are also selfish, and some time ago, the concubines also reflected clearly, they are all the fault of the concubines, and they asked the emperor to give the concubines a chance to mend their ways. ”
"Since the concubine said so, if I still don't agree, it seems that I am not."
"Then the concubine thanked the eldest brother for it."
Wu Guifei was happy in her heart, and even her voice was much lighter.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin is asking to see you outside the store."
Father-in-law Li said in person.
"Since the emperor and His Royal Highness King Jin still have important matters to discuss, the concubines will not bother."
Emperor Shu nodded, "You go back to the palace first, and I will go to your palace later." ”
Wu Guifei got up, Shi Shiran saluted, and said delicately: "The concubine will go back to the palace and wait for you first." ”
