Sun Inspector and Lao Tie drove the carriage to the outside of Yuanyang City, the city occupies an area of nearly rectangle, the circumference is nearly 40 miles, a city gate tower is set up in the south, a city gate tower is set up in the north and the east respectively, and a submersible water flow gate in the city inland river is set up; the terrain in the west is rugged, there is no city tower, there is only a convenient gate for entering and exiting, and the convenient gate communicates with the mountain road and extends to the Yuanyang Mountain Range.

The gates of Yuanyang City were surrounded by victims who had fled from the north. They could not enter the city, so they had to walk around the city.

Lao Tie drove a carriage from the south gate tower to the east gate tower, and found that the city gate tower was closed, and the same notice document was posted at the city gate, announcing that there were thieves in the city, and the various squares and cities in the city were searching door to door, and in order to prevent the thieves in the city from escaping and the thieves outside the city from sneaking in, the city needed to be closed for 20 days. Asked the city gate guards who knew each other, the city gate guards also enforced the law very strictly, and could not open the door to pass, and they all said that the Yuanyang City Governor's Office had an order to close the city gate for 20 days, and no one could enter or leave Yuanyang City unless it was the order of the head of the military room.

Unable to enter the city, Sun Patrol Inspector considered that this situation did not know how long it would last, and there were many people outside the city, and there were many people in chaos, so he felt unsafe, so he decided to return to the Jinniu Town Market Inspection Division as soon as possible.

At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and Sun Inspector, Lao Tie and Li Xiao were thirsty and hungry, so they found a temporary restaurant outside the east gate of Yuanyang City, and then returned to the inspection department after preparing dinner.

There were five or six makeshift restaurants, all of which had erected sheds along the moat outside the east gate and along the city wall, and the sheds were already full of diners.

When Sun saw that all the sheds were overcrowded, he frowned. Lao Tie was even more silent.

Five or six shopkeepers also did not come to greet customers, and their main task was to keep a fierce watch on the refugees outside the shed.

The three of them stood for half an hour before they found a seat on a table of eight immortals.

When the shopkeeper saw that the customer was seated, he came out of the corner. Sun Inspector and Lao Tie asked for a plate of brine peanuts, a plate of cold pork ears, a plate of stir-fried pork liver, a plate of Qingcheng sauce beef, two pots of Yuanyang wine, and three bowls of noodles.

There are still three people eating and one person drinking at the table of the Eight Immortals, and the guest who is drinking is a scholar in a gray robe, with only a wine glass and a plate of fried peanuts in front of him, holding chopsticks in his right hand and holding a wine jug in his left hand, drinking for himself. His white and tender skin was already red, and he chattered while drinking. This reminded Li Xiao of a person, "Kong Yiji is the only person who wears a long shirt while standing and drinking", of course, this is just Li Xiao's personal association. The other three were all dusty victims, each swallowing a large bowl of white water noodles, looking melancholy and terrified.

Li Xiao ate the noodles in the bowl, observed the scholar, heard the scholar always muttering "conspiracy" and "big conspiracy" in his mouth, laughed again, and then scolded "brother against eye" and "woman snake and scorpion", and so repeatedly, as if to drink with this.

Sun Inspector moved his eyes, and said in his heart: This scholar seems to be the Pinker instructor of Yuanyang Academy, and said tentatively: "The mouth of the green bamboo snake is on the mouth, and the wasp tail is on the needle." Both are the most poisonous to women's hearts. ”

"Woman...... The heart is poisonous, and it is also ...... Man...... Forced out. ”

Inspector Sun bowed slightly, and then asked, "Your Excellency is a Ping Instructor?"

Director Ping looked at Sun Xun in a drunken daze, and said, "I'm Ping Kelu, who is Your Excellency?"

"I am Sun Tu, the inspection envoy of the Jinniu Town Market Inspection Division. ”

"I don't know. ”

Inspector Sun was embarrassed, and said nonsense: "Last year, Ping Xundao and Liang Xuezheng passed by the Jinniu Town Market together, and I personally received it. ”

Director Ping was drunk and hazy, and said suspiciously: "I've been to the Jinniu Town Market? His mind was confused, and he had a little headache, so he no longer wondered if he had been to the Golden Bull Town Market. Knowing that the fat man in front of him may have invited him to dinner, Ping's attitude was also a little more enthusiastic. He looked at the four dishes of appetizers in front of the Sun inspection table, and couldn't help but swallow. Inspector Sun hurriedly pushed the pig ears, pork liver, and beef to the table of Ping Take, and said, "Ping Xundao, this plate of Qingcheng sauce beef doesn't seem to be authentic. ”

Inspector Sun only saw Ping Xundao in the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion, because Ping Xundao looked more special and behaved more differently, so he remembered him deeply. Seeing that he drank too much wine, he casually said that he had received him, and at this time, he was really worried that Ping Xundao remembered whether he had been to the Jinniu Town Market.

Ping Xundao finally used chopsticks to clip a piece of beef with a clearly visible texture, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the taste was tender and mellow. I couldn't help but admire: "It's so delicious, eating it will make people not want to make progress." ”

Li Xiao kept his head down and ate the noodles in the bowl, and almost burst out laughing when he heard the praise of Ping's training. Xindao: The teachings in this city are too shabby and funny.

In Taiwan Province of China, there are directors of discipline and instruction in schools, and in most schools on the mainland, the middle-level leaders in charge of discipline and students are called directors of political and educational offices.

Lao Tie listened to Ping's words, and still lowered his head to eat the noodles in the bowl.

Inspector Sun thought for a moment and asked, "Has there been an accident in Yuanyang City, why does it need to be closed for twenty days?"

"Hey!"

"Why is Commander Ping also locked up outside the city?"

“......”

"You are the instructor of the Yuanyang City Principal's Mansion Academy, and you are the instructor of the Yuanyang Academy, why do you have to let you enter the city?"

"I've been suspended. ”

"Why?

"How do you know?"

"It's just grapevine. I heard that Yuan Yangwei commanded Pinker Hook to deduct military salaries, and he has been dismissed and examined. ”

Ping Xundao said in a low voice: "Hmph, this is a conspiracy, a big conspiracy. Then he took a sip of his wine and said no more.

"What's the conspiracy?"

Ping Xun did not answer, and cursed in a low voice: "The most poisonous woman in the world, the femme fatale." ”

Ping Xundao changed the topic, Sun Xunjian was confused and confused, and asked again: "The gate of Yuanyang City is closed, and the small door next to the gate is not opened, how did Ping Xundao come out?"

Director Ping showed indignation on his face and said: "Five days ago, I went to the Grand Chief's Mansion to intercede for my brother, but before I saw Director Zhou, I was driven out of Yuanyang City by Ma Baiyu. ””

Sun inspected and said, "Why?"

Ping Xundao didn't speak again, and walked away.

After Inspector Sun helped Ping Xundao settle the wine money, he inquired about the city gate guards he knew, and got a letter that the city gate could be opened after nine days. wanted to find out what the "big conspiracy" in Ping's mouth was, but the city gate guards didn't know.

When the weather was still very hot, Lao Tie drove the carriage along the official road to the south, and Sun Inspector in the carriage interrogated Li Xiao again, Li Xiao answered truthfully, and Sun Inspector was even more puzzled about Li Xiao's identity. This is the way things are, no one believes unreasonable truths, only reasonable lies are believed.

Li Xiao was thrown to the firewood room by Lao Tie again. After turning around and returning to this place, Li Xiao felt very tired, and deep loneliness and fear haunted his heart. His heart was tugged at like a rag, unable to be soothed.

At dinner time, Lao Tie sent a bowl of dinner like "rice bowl". After the meal, Li Xiao's mood continued to be at a low point. It was extremely quiet, except for the intermittent chirping of insects and the occasional snapping of dogs at the door.

Time is long and passes slowly.

Li Xiao slept in a daze for a while, and was awakened by a few rooster crows.

The sky was already dark in the east, and there were still a few remnant stars in the sky in the west.

Li Xiao heard the sound of unlocking, and the door of the firewood room was pushed open with a creak. After Lao Tie came in, he smiled at Li who was lying on the ground and said, "Follow ...... I'll go. ”

Li Xiao was taken to a new place by Lao Tie, and his task was to wash dishes. He was also washing the dishes with a very young boy.

When Li Xiao was washing the dishes, he was thirsty, so he scooped a bowl of dishwashing water and drank it in his stomach. The little boy was dumbfounded and said timidly, "You even drink dishwashing water?"

Li Xiao saw the little boy's timid eyes, so he said, "This water is so delicious." ”

The little boy shook his head with a wry smile and went on to wash the dishes. It was already full dawn, and the two of them had already washed the bowls and plates that had piled up like a hill.

The stomach was still growling, and Li Xiao had no choice but to drink another bowl of dishwashing water, which turned out to be so delicious. If it weren't for a little kid next to him staring at him curiously, Li Xiao might have let go of his belly and drank a large pot of dishwashing water. People who have been hungry for a long time are happy to have water to drink.

Li Xiao asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

The little boy said, "You are so strange, why do you drink dirty water?"

"Dirty water?!" Marty, I don't think you've ever been hungry as a child.

The little boy tilted his head and said with a smile: "If you are thirsty, there is cold boiled water in the teapot at the door." If you're hungry, there's rice in the kitchen stove pot. ”

"Huh!?"

"Haha...... My dad said this is the best place in our Jinniu Town market. ”

"Here...... Where is this part of the Golden Bull Market?"

"It's called Lehe Restaurant. ”

"Lehehe...... Restaurant?" is a strange name.

"That's right. ”

Jinniu Town Market is a large market, with two main streets, the two main streets form a sloping cross street, and several inns and hotels are all near the intersection of the cross street.

Lehehe Restaurant is one of several hotels and is the property of Sun Inspection. In places far away from the Tiangao Emperor, the magistrates would use public resources for private business in order to obtain economic benefits. The Jinniu Town Market Inspection Division is a courtyard-style building with three doors and three entrances, the main entrance is the Yamen of the Inspection Division, and the left and right facades are used to operate restaurants and grocery stores respectively. In the middle of the front store and backyard is the office office.

Li Xiao heard the little fat boy say that there was water and rice, so he hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot, and there was still some rice and rice pots left at the bottom of the pot. Li Xiao grabbed a handful of rice with his hand in a panic, put it in his mouth and chewed it. I quickly finished eating the rice, picked up a piece of rice that had been crushed, and ate it, a little choked, and it was difficult to swallow. Hey, a bird fades out of its mouth. It is still the tea-flavored rice pot of the 21st century. The crispy and delicious deep-fried pan, as well as the squid and shrimp pancake, and the sesame peanut pancake, hey! The saliva is about to flow out.

The little boy looked at Li Xiao in surprise and said, "You eat so much, aren't you afraid of dying?"

Li Xiao saw that his stomach was already swollen, but he didn't feel full, and after being hungry for a long time, his stomach seemed to have lost its senses. A hungry person must not overeat. Usually overeating is easy to hurt the stomach, hungry for a few days and then overeating will be strangled to death? I heard that drinking some vinegar helps digestion, and walking also helps to promote digestion. Li Xiao said to the little boy, "Can I go out for a walk?"

"What?"

"Can I go out for a walk?"

The little boy shook his head and said, "We can't take half a step out of the kitchen." ”

"What if you go to the toilet?"

"Chef Iron is here in a moment, you can beg him. ”

"It's the skinny one, called the old iron one?"

"It's not the skinny old iron who is slow to react. It's that fat Iron Chef. ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. In came a middle-aged man of medium height, not fat in all fours, but his face was like a full moon, his skin was red, and his chin was growing haphazardly. The neck is swollen and there are two chins.

The little boy glanced at Li Xiao, and that look told Li Xiao: This red fat man is Chef Tie. Li Xiao saw that the little boy had his head down, and his expression was extremely frightened.

Chef Tie looked Li Xiao up and down, and said with a cold face: "You are the foreigner that Lao Tie said? Little Tie, you are with this new ...... Iron ...... No, this should be called Tie Eleven, you and Tie Eleven take twenty pairs of dishes and chopsticks and put them on the two tables by the window in the front hall. ”

The little boy Xiao Tie agreed in a trembling voice, and smiled at Li: "Tie Eleven, fast, fast." ”

Li Xiao was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he had been given a new name called "Iron Eleven".

Li Xiao and Xiao Tie ran back and forth a few times before finishing their work.

Li Xiao saw that there were six tables in the front hall and five tables upstairs for the guests to finish eating. I also saw that there were a lot of people asking for food at the gate, and the shopkeepers (service staff) in the front hall were called Tie Er and Tie San, and they were driving the people who asked for food to go farther away, so as not to let them gather at the door and affect business.

On the way back to the kitchen with Xiao Tie, Li Xiao still had questions in his heart. What's going on? Could it be that I was hired by this restaurant called "Le Hehe"? In the years of famine, and the restaurant offered me a job? How did I feel a little abnormal? Is there still a pie in the sky in this world? Any person who asks for food at the gate of the front hall can do chores in the kitchen!

As soon as Li Xiao wanted to ask Xiao Tie about his questions, he had already arrived at the door of the kitchen. Li Xiao saw that Chef Tie was cutting meat, which seemed to be pork. I haven't eaten meat in a long time. Li Xiaoxin said: I want to eat fried shredded pork with potatoes, and stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage can also be used.

Li Xiao looked at the pork, he was wandering, and his head was hit by the back of Chef Tie's kitchen knife. Although it was hit with the back of a knife, it also left a row of blood marks on Li Xiao's head. Li Xiao's head was stunned all of a sudden, his eyes were full of stars, he covered his head with his hands, squatted on the ground and howled a few times.

Xiao Tie had already covered Li Xiao's mouth, and Li Xiao couldn't make a sound. Xiao Tie whispered in Li Xiao's ear: "Tie Eleven, don't make a sound, don't make a sound." Then Chef Tie said angrily: "Little thing Marty, you are not allowed to watch Lao Tzu cook, remember next time: when I cook, you must all bow your heads to me." Xiao Tie, you go over and raise the fire under the pot. ”

After a while, Li Xiao's eyes were able to see the kitchen clearly, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes. Li Xiao secretly squinted, and saw that the iron chef with a spatula was stir-frying something in the pot, and said angrily in his heart: Ciao, why is this, it is unreasonable. Is there still human rights?

"You still want to peek, don't you? Chef Tie shouted at Li Xiao.
