Knock! knock...... Boom!

There has never been a major incident in Guobei County, and even if there are any cases, they are generally small cases such as theft or fraud and fighting.

Drumming and singing grievances is a rare lively scene for the calm Guobei County.

Early in the morning, the entrance of the county government was full of people from the neighboring streets who came to join in the fun.

A woman knelt in front of the county yamen, and the woman knelt in the middle of the crowd expressionlessly, repeating the action of getting up, beating the drum, and kneeling.

After a while, the officers of the county government arrived, and the county magistrate, who was belated, hurriedly ascended to the court to hear the trial.

The woman walked into the gate of the county office.

On the second day of drumming, at a fried juniper stall in Guobei County, a young man in a dark cloth shirt was slowly drinking soy milk.

The owner who was frying the juniper to the guests and the diners who were waiting to eat the fried juniper chatted like this.

"Did you hear that?" the diner asked coldly as he stared at the undulating fried juniper in the pan.

"Eighty percent is a madman. The boss was busy taking care of the oil pan, and he didn't raise his head to answer

Their mindless conversation aroused Han Qiufen's interest, he slowly slowed down the rate of breathing, drank the soy milk in the bowl steadily, and shifted his attention to the group of diners around him.

After staying in this stall for half an hour, Han Qiufen finally combined these scattered news together and sorted out an interesting and grotesque story.

As soon as the woman yesterday entered the yamen, she said to the magistrate who had just been promoted to the court, someone died.

This sentence caused an uproar in the hall, and Guo Beixian, who had been calm for a long time, died, and all the people had no way to calm down in their hearts.

The magistrate immediately became serious and inquired in detail about the details of the incident.

Just when the magistrate asked the woman about the location of the crime and was about to send a government officer, the woman suddenly said that a person died in two days, but it is still unknown where the crime occurred.

Died in two days? So are you dead now?

If you don't die, where did you come from?

When the county magistrate first heard the news, he was as confused as these people, and after asking twice repeatedly, the woman did not change her words, and the impatient county magistrate sent someone to drive her out of the county office.

"Two days later, someone died, but the location of the crime is unknown. ”

The county government office is located on one of the most prosperous streets in Guobei County, and this street is very special because it is the only street paved with bluestone slabs in the county.

Of course, this street can't be repaired by the yamen, after all, these officials and masters still need money to support those Qinglou celebrities, the county's dignitaries, and the pinjin grotto of the talented man is also completed on this street, and the name of this street in Wubei County is called Dengke Street, and the name of the Qinglou is Qingyuan Building.

The person who repaired this street was a wealthy man who was famous in Guobei County, surnamed Zhou, and everyone called him Zhou's shopkeeper.

The reason why he built this street was because five autumns ago, the father of the shopkeeper Zhou, that is, the old shopkeeper, happened to take a fancy to a shop. In order to facilitate his father's travel, the shopkeeper renovated the street where the shop was located, with bricks and stones as the base, fine sand covering, and bluestone.

There are also many pear trees planted on both sides of the road, so that when the wind rises and falls, the old man can look at the snow in the south, the fragrance is bursting, and the snowflakes are flying.

On both sides of the road, craftsmen were specially hired to build sewer pipes for culvert drainage.

The old shopkeeper looked at this situation, there is a way that people are old and spicy, and quickly let people buy and build a few properties along the street to keep them, and sure enough, everyone likes a good environment, and the dignitaries are very important.

After the renovation of Dengke Street, all the delicate girls in Qingyuan Building moved here.

One after another, the best restaurants in the county have moved, even with all kinds of shops, and the pawn vendors who usually walk the streets have also moved their nests.

As soon as the father and son of the Zhou family summed up, they discussed with the county master, and named this street, Dengke Street.

Mei said: The momentum is like Dengke. So this became the most prosperous place in the whole county, and the Zhou family father and son made a lot of money again.

It is the only restaurant in the county that specializes in making mutton, and it is even the only one in several surrounding counties.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of diners, and the mutton from the north has reached the south, and the way to eat it has become smaller.

There is only one mainstream of mutton in Guobei County: hot pot.

The mutton is not sliced, cut into small pieces, and the meat segments and haggis are blanched in rhubarb cooking wine in advance.

Take the fatty-stuffed meat and add the smashed lamb bones and simmer in a large pot for three hours.

After the diners are in place, set up a small pot, add carbon in the middle, make isolation around it, add stock separately, and stew it together with pepper, red dates, and medicinal herbs.

The mutton is put into the pot according to the ratio of two taels of mutton and one tael, the mutton is blanched first, and when the broth is boiling, take a small bowl of white wall, scoop a spoonful of leeks cut into equal size pieces, brew with broth, and set aside.

Sun-dried peppers, ground into powder.

Mix in chopped peanuts, minced garlic and salt, put it in a small bowl, add a spoonful of stock to the bowl and rinse the base to the bowl.

The sheepskin is attached to the lean meat and then connected to a little fat, and after being sandwiched, it is dipped in the dipping sauce and eaten.

It was almost noon when Han Qiu arrived at the wine shop, and although it was broad daylight, the weather was always much colder than before in autumn.

The wine shop was already busy, Han Qiufen glanced inside, and pulled up his sleeves, he was here to do miscellaneous labor.

There is an endless stream of guests, Han Qiufeng is busy until the evening closes, usually he is just responsible for cleaning the leftovers of the diners, and today he has to be a running hall and help the guests order.

"Although the mutton pot is fragrant, but after smelling it for a day, let's take a breath. Shen lazy, Han Qiufen thought about this, rubbed his shoulders again, and walked towards the door of the store.

In the distance, along the street, a man was getting closer and closer to the mutton wine shop.

walked in, it was a young Lang Jun.

Wearing a square scarf made of blue cloth, a gray robe, a pair of cloth shoes that are quite clean, and a bookcase behind his back, he looks like an ordinary reader.

Han Qiufen was looking at this scholar, and this scholar was also looking at him.

The most impressive feature of this scholar is his eyebrows, which are as black and thick as two machetes.

His appearance is ordinary, and there is nothing peculiar about his clothes, but this pair of eyebrows is a bit interesting.

"It's closed? man. The reader took a step forward, then stood still, and asked.

Han Qiufen looked at him and nodded.

The reader looked disappointed, tilted the outside of his foot to the ground, then turned his head to say goodbye, and walked away.

Han Qiufeng watched him walk into the darkness, turned around and went back to the wine shop, and after closing, he had to finish the final cleaning work before he could go back to the Land Temple.

The scholar was standing on an eaves at this time, and the corners of his clothes and bookcases were hunting in the cold wind at night. He looked like he was waiting for something.

After a while downstairs, Han Qiufeng also finished finishing tonight's work, and walked out of the door one step ahead of the other guys, walking in the direction of the Land Temple.

On a cloudless night, the moon hung on the side of the eaves with the sky as a backdrop.

The scholar's gray robe glowed with moonlight in the moonlight, and the autumn wind shook the branches.

Between the slight movements of his robes, the scholar had already disappeared in place and leaped in the direction that Han Qiu had left.
