"You don't have to sell me all the recipes, five, I only need five." Shopkeeper Ding stretched out his fat palm, "You don't have to answer me in a hurry, think about it, or come to my Changxing Restaurant, or sell me five recipes." ”

After that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked away with his short legs, and the family pouted like 2580,000, snorted coldly, and walked towards the sedan chair parked at the corner of the street with Ding's shopkeeper.

Mo Li turned around and went back to the courtyard, the mother and daughter of the Zhang family immediately greeted her, and Aunt Zhang said worriedly: "Moxi, what can I do about this?" ”

"There's nothing to reply to, I won't go to Changxing Restaurant, and I won't sell it to them." Mo Li shrugged indifferently.

"Moxi, this shopkeeper Ding is a bad guy at first glance. If you don't say yes to him, I don't know what will happen to them. Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she rubbed her hands.

Zhang Yuling was also anxious: "Brother Moxi, that fat man doesn't look like a good person at first glance, you have to be careful." ”

In fact, Mo Li didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, I do things uprightly, and they can't do anything to me." ”

The mother and daughter of the Zhang family were still not at ease, Mo Li comforted them a few more words, and then went out to buy ingredients.

At dinner that evening, Aunt Zhang told Dr. Zhang and his son what happened during the day. Doctor Zhang's face sank and said, "Ding Gaoda, the shopkeeper of Changxing Restaurant, is not a person to be messed with. ”

Mo Li put down his chopsticks and asked, "Doctor Zhang, do you know him?" ”

"It's not that you know, but you just know." Dr. Zhang said, "It is said that he is related to a prince in the capital, and he is indispensable in Qinghuai City by virtue of his power." Changxing Restaurant was opened by this Ding Gouda, and he himself was both the owner and the shopkeeper. The reason why the restaurant business is booming is that it relies on suppressing peers and tying up the powerful. ”

Mo Li nodded: "No wonder the arrogance is so arrogant, it turns out that there are people from the government as the backstage." ”

"Brother Moxi, you don't know, this Ding Gouda is not a thing, he also robbed the daughter of a vegetable farmer to be a concubine last year, and forced the daughter of the other family to death." Zhang Baozhuan said indignantly.

Mo Li's eyes widened in surprise: "Doesn't the government care?" ”

Doctor Zhang sighed: "What's the matter, the county master has an extraordinary relationship with him, I heard that Changxing Restaurant also has a share of the county master." ”

"How good is this!" Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she rubbed her hands.

Mo Li smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I don't have any shortcomings in his hands, he can't do anything to me." ”

"That being said, Moxi, you still have to be careful lately." Dr. Zhang instructed.

Mo Li nodded: "Got it, I'll be careful." But if the surname Ding is endlessly entangled, I also have a way to deal with him. ”

After two days in a row, Ding Gouda didn't make any movement, and Mo Li thought that he had touched a nail and just forget it. Who is the prime minister, at noon this day, she just came back from Sijixian after delivering dim sum, and saw Aunt Zhang standing outside the gate of her house, looking towards the street, and when she saw Mo Li, she quickly pulled her into the courtyard: "Moxi, you are finally back, something is wrong." ”

"Don't worry, auntie, speak slowly." Mo Li comforted.

Aunt Zhang closed the courtyard door, pulled Mo Li into the house and said, "Moxi, as soon as you left this morning, the matchmaker came to the door to say goodbye to Ling'er." ”

"Say hello to Ling'er? To whom? Mo Li asked inexplicably, it is said that Zhang Yuling is about to be fifteen, and in this era it is the time to start discussing marriage.

Aunt Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's the shopkeeper Ding who came yesterday and said that he wanted to marry Ling'er as a concubine." ”

"What?" Mo Li exclaimed, "You agreed?" ”

"How can I agree, even if we are small, we can't send our daughter to be a concubine!" Aunt Zhang's tears were like beads with broken threads, "But the matchmaker said, give us three days, and after three days, the shopkeeper Ding will send a sedan chair to carry people." I don't know where to go to find the big bolt and his father for a while, so I can only wait for you to come back and discuss. ”

"There's nothing to discuss, this family affair can't be answered at all." Mo Li said urgently.

"But now we can't help but say yes." Aunt Zhang choked up and said, "What can I do!" ”

"Auntie, don't worry, let's find a way slowly." Mo Li followed Aunt Zhang's back and said, "What about Sister Ling?" ”

"Ling'er was anxious when she heard this, and now she is hiding in her room and crying." Aunt Zhang sighed and wiped the tears on her face one by one, but she couldn't wipe them clean.

Mo Li stood up and said, "Auntie, you are optimistic about Sister Ling'er, don't let anything happen to her, I'll go to the street to find Dr. Zhang and Brother Da Xuan, let them come back and let's discuss it." ”

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she hurriedly got up and went to Zhang Yuling's house: "Don't you say that I forgot, Ling'er, this kid has a strong temper, don't really have anything wrong." ”

Fortunately, Dr. Zhang and his wife walked through the streets and alleys, and many people in Qinghuai City knew them, Mo Li inquired all the way, and walked around the city for most of the time, and finally found the father and son.

On the way back, Mo Li explained the matter in general, and Dr. Zhang's face was gloomy and silent, but he just quickened his pace. Zhang Baozhuo was so angry that he hammered the medicine box, and he couldn't wait to find Ding Gouda immediately.

When rushing back to Zhang's house, Zhang's mother and daughter were in the hall, and Zhang Yuling was crying low in her mother's arms. Seeing her husband and son coming back, Aunt Zhang immediately pulled Dr. Zhang's sleeve and said, "Father, what can I do now?" ”

"What to do! If his surname Ding dares to come, I will fight with him! Zhang Baozhuan couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and said angrily.

"Big bolt!" Dr. Zhang looked at his son sternly, "How many times have you said that you should be calm and don't be rash when you encounter problems." ”

"Dad, when is it, you still have the kung fu to teach the child. Don't think about it yet! Aunt Zhang complained, kept stroking Zhang Yuling's back again and again, and cried with her daughter.

"Alas......" Dr. Zhang sighed, "This method is not in a hurry, first be steady, let me think about it again." ”

"Dad, why don't you send Ling'er to my aunt's house outside the city first." Zhang Baozhuan said suddenly.

Mo Li shook his head: "I'm afraid this won't work, since Ding Gaoda said that he would be hired after three days, he will probably send someone to keep an eye on it in the past three days." If you venture out of the city, it will be more troublesome to be caught by him. In addition, even if Sister Ling'er escapes, what will you do? Can Ding Gouda be so easily not pursued? ”

Zhang Baozhuan was suddenly deflated: "If you can't run, why wait for him to come and ask for someone?" ”

"It's all my fault," Mo Li looked guilty, "If I hadn't brought Ding Gouda here, he wouldn't have seen Sister Ling'er." ”

Doctor Zhang waved his hand: "Moxi, you can't say that. You're doing things rightly, and you don't know if you're going to attract that scoundrel from Tingouda. ”
