Chapter 229: Means (2)
"Smack"
"Who is kneeling in the hall?"
"What's going on?"
As soon as there was a startling sound, the same question sounded in the public hall, but the difference was that the person sitting behind the desk was more dignified, and his voice was a little more majestic and cold.
After the plaintiff and the defendant made their respective statements, it was followed by a back-and-forth argument.
The Xie family didn't have any real and powerful evidence at all, only an old diary-like living note that was about to rot with a few words written on it, which meant: Today I finally made a golden-colored, soft and delicious dim sum, and decided to name it Golden Cake.
Could it be that the Xie family really has a foodie ancestor who made a golden cake?
The book that can be used as evidence is so rotten like that, it really doesn't look like a fake.
Jiang Han couldn't help but look back at the outside of the hall, and there was no shadow of any personnel from the Inspection Division.
Also, it happened so suddenly, the other party had a calculating intention or not, and it was an impossible task for Lord Shen and them to find clues immediately.
Jiang Han retracted his mind and shouted: "Lord County Order, the grass people have different opinions on this so-called evidence. ”
Chen Xianling lifted his eyelids and said condescendingly: "Say!" ”
"This so-called golden cake doesn't even have a recipe description, who knows what it's made of? If you just say this, you can conclude that my cake is this golden cake, then in the future, when you see something that sells well in other houses on the street, you will point to it and say, 'This is my family's ancestor, my ancestor once said that he made such a thing', then this thing can be his's? - This nonsense is fine, if from now on everyone in the world will follow suit, and find a reason to snatch what they fancy at will, then the world will not be in chaos? ”
"You kid, Hugh is alarmist and rambling!" The Xie family immediately jumped out and scolded, "Who said that my family's golden cake has no recipe description, it was originally recorded on the last page of this book, but it was stolen by this Xie Xiaoyun and her father......"
"That's even weirder! How do you know that it was stolen by Xie Xiaoyun's father? Did you see it with your own eyes? Also, before Xie Xiaoyun's father, this book should have existed for a long time, right? Why haven't you heard that you Xie Jia opened a dim sum shop with this recipe? Since your Xie family dares to go up with the whole clan for a little profit, you should make good use of this recipe to make a lot of money! ”
"Even if my Xie family declines, it's not like you and other merchants, who take the things of their ancestors and come out at will to earn that copper smell!" Old man Xie, who appeared in Luoxia Town, said, "Now, we don't ask for much, it's just that you Jiang family will return the recipe to my Xie family and compensate us for our losses......
"It stinks, it stinks! Don't use the things of your ancestors to earn copper stinks at will, I think your heart is more smelly and disgusting than that copper stink! Father Jiang couldn't bear to taunt, and then bowed to the ground to the county commander Chen, and said, "Lord county commander, this matter is actually very simple. The Xie family kept saying that the golden cake written in this book is my family's cake, and this book has been around for a long time, and there must be a Xie family who has seen the so-called recipe and made similar snacks for such a long time. It's better to let the Xie family make a so-called golden cake, and our Jiang family will present our cake again, and ask the county magistrate to taste and compare them one by one to distinguish whether it is or not. After speaking, he glanced at the Xie family defiantly.
Who knew that the Xie family agreed unhurriedly.
The Jiang family couldn't help frowning.
Jiang Han couldn't figure it out for a while, it was said that it was impossible for them to make cakes, where did they get their confidence?
"That's a great way!" Chen Xianling, who was a little dizzy from the quarrel between the two parties, made a decision in shock, "That's it, tomorrow and midnight, you will serve pastries, let the official taste and distinguish before making a judgment." Retire! ”
The Jiang family took the ox cart back to Luoxia Town, and along the way, they didn't figure out what the hole cards of the Xie family calmly accepted the challenge.
"Could it be that the two aunts leaked the recipe?" Yun Niang doubted, this kind of betrayal is too common, not to mention that the second aunt of Huatian does not have a deed of sale.
"No way, unless you make the cake and let them see it, they'll know at most we're going to use the oven." Jiang Han said.
Father Jiang shook his head and said, "No, every time Yun Niang is busy in the kitchen, I am watching outside the kitchen, and the Hetian family of the Hua family is honestly staying by the well to do other work." Moreover, the eggshells thrown by Yun Niang are all mashed, and they should only know that eggs and flour are used - anyone who has eaten cake can guess it. ”
The family entered the house in a gloomy mood.
It didn't take long for the second aunt of Hua Tian to arrive, and after knowing the decision of the county magistrate, they were afraid that the Jiang family would suspect that they had missed the formula, so they all swore by the sky, which made the Jiang family embarrassed.
finally sent the two aunts away, and at the same time informed them that the spicy stall would be closed for two days, so that they could rest at home, Jiang Han went back to the teahouse and asked for two days off under the complicated gaze of the shopkeeper Wang.
When leaving, she also pretended to joke with the shopkeeper Wang lightly: "Shopkeeper, you can think about dismissing me again this time." However, don't worry, even if you are dismissed, I will definitely pay you the rest of the money. ”
Who knew that the king's shopkeeper said: "Brother Han, if you don't come in the past two days, you should take the time to go to the temple to worship!" Although you are a little careless and sloppy in doing things, I think it must be that your bad luck is too heavy to suppress your fortune, otherwise it will not be a little smoother. ”
Jiang Han was a little stammered, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Shopkeeper, you are euphemistically expressing the meaning of letting me go, right?" Actually, you don't have to make such a big turn, I won't care......"
"You think beautifully! I don't know, you didn't want to do anything with me, did you? It's only more than half of the activities in our store, and you want to pick a child and leave? It's just a few greedy guys who are accusing you, and the truth will naturally be revealed in two days. ”
Jiang Han was stunned, this is not the usual way of thinking of the shopkeeper Wang, doesn't he want to fire her as soon as something happens?
"Shopkeeper, our business today is not so good, why do you suddenly believe me so much?"
The shopkeeper glanced at her and said, "Believe you? Don't put gold on your face, I believe Lord Shen. ”
"Lord Shen?" What does this have to do with him?
"yes, he'll definitely find a way to help you, I won't make the same foolish mistake again this time!"
Jiang Han plucked out his ears and asked again, only to make sure that he had heard correctly.
"Lord Shen is your nobleman, every time you have an accident, he will help you......"
All the way to the door, Jiang Han didn't understand why the shopkeeper Wang had such a misunderstanding.
It may be that Lord Shen's status in the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang is a little inflated.
With such a conclusion, Jiang Han pushed the door open.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he happened to collide with the sight of the people in the courtyard who turned their heads at the sound.
