Looking at the crowds along the way, smelling the fragrant delicacies, Li Yitian couldn't help but move his appetite. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sweet and soft braised elbows, come and taste it!"
"The delicious sour and spicy fragrant fat cow is still hot, there is not much left, hurry up and grab it!"
Li Yitian looked at the lively scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, and he also felt full of pride. From now on, it will be under its own jurisdiction, and the quality of the people's lives is directly related to the performance of officials.
"It seems that the previous city lord was also a good official, no wonder Long Wuji wanted to promote him. Li Yitian secretly visited and nodded to himself.
At this time, he saw a small shop that was in a depression, but it was busy closing when the lights were in place. Li Yitian couldn't help but step forward and wanted to ask what was going on.
"This old man, do you still have food?" Li Yitian sat in this small shop that was not spacious and looked around.
The shop is small and can only accommodate three dining tables. Although they are all old locust wood tables, they are also cleanly organized. The whole room gives a neat, tranquil charm.
"Little brother, there are really no ingredients, you better go to another house. The white-haired old man settled down on the guy in his hand and said to Li Yitian.
"Uncle, I'm not a picky eater, just order anything, those shops are too lively, but I don't like it. "This lord of the city is determined to find out.
"Okay, little brother, wait a minute, there is still half a sauced duck and some beef here, I'll go and bring it to you hot." Seeing that Li Yitian's words were sincere, the old man had no choice but to accept it.
"Another pot of good wine!" Li Yitian hurriedly shouted, and his bright teeth looked particularly dazzling.
Li Yitian sat on the wooden chair, smelling the fragrance wafting in, and his saliva was even more uncontrollably swallowed. This is exactly the punctuality of eating, but no diners except Li Yitian came to the door.
It didn't take long for the old man to bring a fragrant meal, and Li Yitian was impatient to wait, so he immediately began to eat. The fragrant beef and the fat sauced duck tasted very delicious, and they were quickly wiped out by Li Yitian, and the two hot steamed buns were also eaten in three or two bites.
Just as Li Yitian was feasting, a cute little girl ran to the old man's side and snuggled in the old man's arms. This must be the granddaughter of the old man, she looked at Li Yitian with fear in her eyes. Her big watery eyes also sneaked a glance at the duck leg in Li Yitian's hand from time to time, and her small mouth made swallowing movements from time to time.
The two grandfathers and grandsons are dressed very plainly, their clothes are washed and faded, and they are obviously living a very poor life.
"Old man, your wine and food are good, why don't you have guests coming to the door?" Li Yitian ate and wiped it clean, and he had to pay for it casually, and by the way, he asked the question he was most concerned about. But he was stunned at this touch.
"Little brother forgot to bring a coil to wrap up?" The old man has been through personnel for a long time, how can he not see Li Yitian's embarrassment.
Li Yitian scratched his head in embarrassment, but he didn't know how to speak. He cultivated in the Tianwu Sect, and he had already given up those gold and silver belongings, but at this time, he had nothing to pay the bills.
"You're a bad person, too! You know that you're bullying me and grandpa, you're all big liars who come to eat and drink for nothing!" The six- or seven-year-old girl's big eyes were full of tears, and she immediately cried out loud.
"We don't have anything to eat, and we still have to serve you!" The little girl said as she touched her tears with her white sleeves.
This made Li Yitian even more overwhelmed, looking at the little girl's clothes full of patches and her shabby shoes with her little toes exposed, Li Yitian felt guilty in his heart.
The little girl was crying, and she secretly looked at the duck bones on the ground, and her little appearance was very pitiful.
"Erya, don't cry, this little brother is not a bad person, he must have gone out in a hurry and forgot to bring the money. The old man hurriedly comforted his granddaughter, but he didn't blame Li Yitian at all.
"Didn't grandpa say that he wanted to leave me a duck leg to eat?
"Grandpa left a few duck claws for Erya, doesn't Erya love duck claws the most, it's in the back room, go eat it." The old man was immediately happy.
"Really?" the little girl stopped crying instantly, swallowed her saliva and hurried to the backyard.
Li Yitian looked at the tip of his nose and couldn't help but think of his grandfather. The same kindness and kindness, but he has been separated from him forever, which makes him doubly moved by the admiration of the two grandparents and grandchildren in front of him.
"Old man, I am a person who cultivates the truth, I am really in a hurry to go home this time, although I don't have gold or silver here, but I have a panacea, please accept it. Li Yitian said, and took out a jade bottle, although this bottle was the most ordinary pill, it was also worth hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.
"Little brother doesn't have to be like this, it's just a meal. The old man shirked it.
Li Yitian looked at the old man's patched clothes and knew that their life must be very poor. Seeing the little girl's emaciated body, it must have been caused by a long-term lack of food and drink.
Li Yitian heard the little girl's words clearly. This old man's craftsmanship is very good, and he is also very kind, but he doesn't have any business. He knew that the problem could not be solved with a bottle of elixir, so he asked the old man what happened.
Unable to withstand Li Yitian's soft film hard bubble, the old man finally spat out and said the reason for everything. It turned out that the old man's surname was Liu, and he used to have a big restaurant and the business was very good, and the family was busy with their work, which attracted the eyes of many people.
But later, the old man's son didn't know what strange illness he had, and the family couldn't cure the son with all the money they had. Later, the old man also sold all his family property and sold the restaurant to a peer.
A year later, the son died, and the daughter-in-law was also too sad and passed away soon after, leaving only the old and the young to depend on each other. With no money left at home, the old man had no choice but to open a restaurant again.
But who knew that the old man later heard that it was someone who was jealous of his family's original business, so he resorted to the means of making money and killing people.
The old man has been loyal and kind all his life, so he naturally does not want to believe rumors, and has always thought that his son died of illness. But it wasn't until later, that the Wang family in the restaurant under his house repeatedly came to provoke, and the old man was a little convinced.
The Wang family was originally the first family in Zhaoning City, and most of the business in the city was controlled by their family. Although the old man was skeptical, he didn't dare to say anything. Now they are being blatantly bullied by the Wang family, but they can only swallow their anger, and the old man does not think about himself but also takes care of his granddaughter's future.
While the two were talking, Er Ya ran back from the backyard. She held a few duck paws with a happy face, but she was reluctant to eat them.
"Grandpa, you can eat some too. Erya stuffed the duck paws into the old man's lips, but the old man did not eat them.
"Grandpa has already eaten, Erya, let's eat, this is specially reserved for you." The old man smiled and pushed the duck paw to Erya's mouth.
The little girl began to eat happily, her little face was full of happy smiles, and her big eyes were still sparkling at Li Yitian. Since grandpa said that he is not a bad person, then he must not be a bad person. (To be continued.) )
