Morning.

Chen Shu and his family, facing the snowflakes, are pushing their own cart together, which is also the pancake cart that the whole family relies on for a living.

The couple's destination is the heart of Anhua City - Uizheng Square.

Passing through a road with thick snow, a team of inspectors happened to pass by.

At the order of the inspector, a group of people rushed up, dragging and pushing in front and behind, easily getting the pancake truck out of the snowy section.

Even the two mastiffs used two dog legs to help push the cart.

The two of them thanked them with sincere fear: "Thank you very much for the help of several inspectors!" ”

The inspector waved his hand indifferently and led the team away.

"Wang! Woof! ”

The dogs barked at the couple a few times, as if telling them to be careful on the road.

Chen Shu watched the inspector drift away, and muttered in a low voice: "Since His Excellency the Great Consul came, the Inspectorate has completely changed. ”

His wife, Wang Fen, echoed in a low voice: "Yes, I used to be always fierce and vicious, but now I am too kind to civilians." ”

】

The two sighed a few words together, pushed the pancake cart and continued to hurry.

Half an hour later.

The couple arrived at the Parliamentary Square.

"Squeak!"

With the sound of stomping on the snow, a young steward in uniform walked over quickly and said directly, "Do you have a business license?" ”

Chen Shu hurriedly responded: "Yes! I have! ”

The middle-aged man carefully took out a palm-sized metal plate from the inner pocket of his winter coat and handed it to the other party.

The steward looked at it carefully and said seriously: "Your Excellency the Great Consul is merciful and has specially set aside an area in the square to allow you to operate.

"Here is under your nose, please be sure to operate in good faith, not to be short of two pounds, not to be shoddy, and to pay attention to food hygiene ......"

The steward said more than ten prohibitions in one breath, and his tone became stern: "If there is a violator, the license will be confiscated immediately, understand?" ”

Chen Shu nodded again and again: "Understood!" ”

For this permit, he boldly spent thirty silver coins from his family's savings, and he naturally didn't dare to do these things, otherwise wouldn't it be a blood loss?

The steward waved his hand: "Okay." ”

The couple hurriedly pushed the pancake cart and got it to the designated place.

Chen Shu glanced at the sky and said quickly: "It is estimated that in another ten minutes, someone will come, I will make a fire, and you will prepare pancakes." ”

The middle-aged man crouched down, first stuffed a fuel block into the stove, then poured a little brown oil, and struck a few times with a flint, and a hot flame came out.

Wang Fen quickly took out all kinds of things, such as batter, sauces, various side dishes, and so on.

It's not ten minutes yet.

A bearded civilian walked in the direction of the square.

Chen Shu glanced at it and shouted decisively: "Hot pancakes, delicious and inexpensive!" ”

This sound is like a signal.

More than a dozen stalls in the business area shouted one after another.

"Hot buns, cold and filling!"

"Sweet ginger tea hot drink, warm heart and stomach!"

The stall owners did not dare to raise their voices too loudly, nor did they dare to shout continuously, which was the requirement of the steward.

After all, there is the council building not far away, and if it is noisy like a vegetable market, won't it affect the work of the staff?

Perhaps the first reason for the sale, the bearded man walked straight to the pancake stand.

Soon.

The pancake stand got its first business of the day – three pancakes.

Chen Shu asked with a smile while making pancakes neatly: "How many people came to see the 'war horse galloping' in the square of the council hall?" ”

The bearded man nodded and said, "Yes! I've heard that there are only three performances a day, and each time it's packed, so I came a little early. ”

The so-called "war horse galloping" is the twelve stone horses that Cheng Han tossed out on a whim a few days ago.

He gave instructions to the war horse, and ran three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, as a show of presence, and the rest of the time as a statue.

Surprisingly, after the news of this incident spread, many civilians came to visit.

In the beginning, the guards of the council hall would chase away unrelated people.

Cheng Han sat in his office and paid attention to this scene, decisively stopped the guards' actions, and ordered the square to be opened to all civilians in the city.

Since then, Uijeong Square has become a famous attraction in the city.

From morning to night, there is an endless stream of people to visit, and every time you arrive at the time of the stone horse galloping, it is even more ten thousand people gathering, and it is very lively.

At this moment.

Chen Shu said with a rise and flaunted his insights: "After His Excellency the Great Archon took office, there was great news in Anhua City every day.

"Everyone thinks that the wishing monument in Dongshan Park is a tool for Your Excellency to listen to the voices of ordinary people, who knows that the stele can actually cure diseases and save people.

"Officials in the council said that at least 3,000 civilians met doctors in the dream of the stele and were diagnosed with hidden diseases and prescribed medicines."

The bearded man looked surprised: "The wishing monument is so powerful?!" ”

Chen Shu said with a smile: "His Excellency the Great Archon also issued an edict ordering major pharmacies to temporarily open branches at the entrance of the park, so that civilians can catch medicines according to the prescription. ”

His wife, Wang Fen, skillfully packed a pancake into a paper bag, and inserted a sentence by the way: "The people in the council hall also said that so many pharmacies are concentrated together, and it is very convenient for civilians to compare prices, and they can buy cheaper medicines." ”

The bearded man nodded repeatedly: "This is indeed a good way!" ”

Chen Shu's words changed: "I don't know if you know, yesterday His Excellency the Great Consul personally signed the 'Low-income Family Living Security Law', which is also known as the 'Subsistence Security Law'. ”

The bearded man listened with a curious expression: "Oh? I've never heard of that. ”

In the spirit of serving customers, Chen Shu immediately introduced: "The general meaning of Fa Yu is that families with low monthly income are divided into three grades according to their income, and they can receive a certain amount of subsidies respectively. ”

Wang Fen added next to her: "The lowest-level families with special difficulties can receive a subsidy of up to six silver coins per month!" ”

The average monthly income is usually around twenty silver coins, and six silver coins is definitely not a small amount of money in comparison.

The bearded man sighed: "Your Excellency is indeed a good man with a common heart. ”

Chen Shu handed over the pancake and thought it was true: "Who said it wasn't?" The previous archons were too far behind this Excellency. ”

The bearded man took the pancake and said with a smile: "You know the affairs of the council hall very well. ”

Chen Shu smiled: "My mother-in-law and I set up a stall at the entrance of the council hall, and many employees come to us to buy pancakes, how can we not know?" ”

The bearded man handed over the money: "The two extra copper coins, don't look for them, even if they are tips." ”

Chen Shumei smiled: "You are too kind!" ”

*

As time went on, the flow of people into the Parliamentary Square became more and more numerous.

Although there are so many people that it can be called a "sea of people", the inspection department has already had the experience to deal with it, and a large number of inspectors who arrived in advance have maintained order in an orderly manner.

And when there are more people, the business of pancake stalls is naturally becoming more and more prosperous.

Chen Shu and his family were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and they didn't stop for a moment in their hand movements.

"When! While! ”

The loud bell suddenly rang through the council square.

The tens of thousands of people gathered here suddenly surged into a wave.

Because this means that the first horse gallop in the morning is about to begin.

Chen Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally take a rest." ”

Wang Fen quickly counted the iron box containing the money, and whispered, "Just now, we earned at least five silver coins. ”

Chen Shu looked at the towering council building and reverently said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, Archon. ”

Instead, it's the same.

How dare he set up a stall in Yizheng Square, as long as he approached, he would be violently driven away, and even the car would be overturned.

But now.

His Excellency the Grand Consul personally set aside a business area, and also made a magical war horse galloping, so that he could see the hope of living a good life.

"When! While! ”

The bell continues to ring.

Wang Fen wiped her hands on her apron and was in a good mood: "It's going to start right away." ”

Chen Shu nodded, and his gaze turned to the center of the square: "There seem to be more people today than yesterday. ”

The location of the business area, located at the back of the crowd.

Looking at the two of them, only the back of the head is layered on top of each other, and at most the head of the stone horse statue can be seen.

A few seconds passed.

Suddenly, there was a huge commotion in the square.

Because all the twelve horses came to life, they began to shake their heads and tails.

Where have ordinary people seen such a scene, they are naturally shocked one by one.

"Winter! Winter! ”

There was a dull shaking sound from the ground.

Twelve stone horses, along a special track surrounded by iron railings, began to run.

Wang Fen stood on tiptoe with a look of anticipation: "I don't know what new tricks there are today?" ”

Since the birth of the stone horse, it has played a different trick every day, so many people come to see it every day.

"Winter! Winter! ”

The sound of horses' hooves is getting denser, which means that the horses are running faster and faster.

Five seconds later.

The sea of people boiled all at once.

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my god!"

Exclamations such as the above rang out in patches.

I saw that the four hooves of each stone horse actually burst into flames.

At a glance, this group of stone horses suddenly turned into flaming war horses.

What's even more amazing is that every time the horse's hooves hit the ground, a flame will be left on the ground, and then a vivid fiery red lotus will bloom.

The stone horses collectively ran around, and the track left a circle of fiery red lotus.

Such a scene can be called shocking.

*

Guarding the palace.

The two guards stared at the image projected by the Xuan Array, and couldn't help but be speechless together.

It wasn't until a minute had passed that the group of stone horses stopped galloping and returned to their original positions to turn into stone withering again, that the two of them came back to their senses.

Xu Daoming, the town guard, looked quite complicated: "Tsk, colorful flowers appeared on the ground where the horses ran the day before yesterday, and an ice lotus appeared on the ground yesterday, and today it has become a fire lotus." ”

Zhao Qihuan, another town guard, couldn't help but sigh: "This kid's tricks are really ridiculous!" ”

Not beat around the bush.

As Xuanshi, the two also have an eye-opening feeling.

*

Inside the Parliamentary Building.

The female secretary, Xie Yu, stood behind the huge glass window, overlooking the fiery red lotus covering the runway, and her seductive red lips suddenly opened into an "O" shape.

Right next to her.

Cheng Han didn't pay much attention to the scene in the square.

He was chatting with his little girlfriend through his black cat sheriff: "Do you want to see the fire warhorse? ”

Such a remote chat, he and Qian Qingqing will have it several times a day.

During this period of time, although the two sides did not meet, they were not alienated from each other at all, but their feelings became closer and closer.

Soon.

The little girl's answer came.

"Yes!"
