Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Mr. Sun said respectfully: "Father-in-law, Xiaoxu also sets prices based on the inventory in the warehouse. If the rice noodle shops rashly raise the market price due to the explosion accident a few days ago, and the government investigates it, we, the rice noodle shop, will be in trouble." Take the blame.”

"Hey, you are such a unteachable child!"

Master Zhou did not expect his son-in-law to be so inflexible. He asked Mr. Sun to return to the Zhou Mansion to accompany Miss Zhou. Recently, Mimai Bank was temporarily managed by him.

Mr. Sun returned to the Zhou Mansion and saw Miss Zhou reading a book in the house. He rubbed her shoulders and said, "Madam, are you feeling better today?"

Seeing that Mr. Sun had returned home early in the morning with a sullen look on his face, Miss Zhou probably knew that he had been scolded by his father again at Mimaixing.

Miss Zhou stood up and consoled her: "Are you unhappy today at Mimaixing?"

Mr. Sun put away the disappointment in his eyes and said, "Dad asked me to come back and spend more time with you. Madam, let me go out with you to enjoy the peach blossoms. It's not good to be bored in the house all day. You should go out and walk more."

Miss Zhou, accompanied by Mr. Sun, came to enjoy the scenery under the peach blossom tree by the bridge.

Mao Xi saw that the peach blossom jam in the shop was about to run out. Recently, the peach blossom cake was very popular with the ladies in Jiaofang and Wazi, and it was once sold out.

She took Lou Laner with her and went to Kaitang County to pick peach blossoms together.

Not long after Ma Xi went out, Mu Zhiyuan came to Liuxiang Snacks to look for her.

Xiao Qing told Mu Zhiyuan that Mao Xi had gone to Kaitang County. Mu Zhiyuan immediately rode up to follow, thinking worriedly: The tiger monster case has not been solved yet, so how dare you run around.

Kaitang County, under the peach blossom tree.

"Sister Lan'er, be careful and don't climb too high."

The peach blossoms in the lower areas have been picked all over by the girls in the county, and there are very few complete peach blossoms on the lawn.

Lou Lan'er simply flew into the peach tree and swayed the peach branches on the tree.

Peach blossoms fell like rain, and a lady picking flowers stood alone under the tree, carrying a bamboo basket.

Mu Zhiyuan stopped his horse and suddenly looked back. The lady under the tree was none other than Shu Xi. He led the horse and asked, "Ah Shu, why are you here alone to pick flowers?"

"Brother Mu! I'm here to pick peach blossoms. I'm going back to make peach blossom cakes." Shui Xi squatted down and started picking peach blossoms on the lawn.

Mu Zhiyuan helped pick them up together.

After hiding in the tree and watching for a few seconds, Lou Laner felt that there was nothing to see. She turned over and flew from the tree to the ground. Two startled swallows flew away from the top of the tree.

"And me too!"

"It's not peaceful in the city recently, Lou Lan'er, why did you ask Ah Shu to come with you?"

Mao Xi stood up, shook off the peach blossoms from his head and shoulders, and said, "The peach blossom jam in the store is not enough. I asked Sister Lan'er to bring me here. Didn't the man in black who set off the tiger demon lantern catch him?"

Some children and ladies, seeing the peach blossoms falling on the ground, also came to pick them up.

Mu Zhiyuan pulled Mao Xi under the tree and whispered: "The man in black later found out that he was running errands for others in the ghost market. He just took over the work of a masked man and asked him to detonate explosions on two stages. Put the light on and don’t know anything else.”

Miss Zhou and his wife, who were admiring flowers on the bridge, saw Mao Xi under the peach tree and walked toward her.

"Isn't this the shopkeeper Miao Xi from Liuxiang Snacks? I'm the young lady of the Zhou Mansion."

Mao Xi bowed in return. She had met Miss Zhou once: "Thank you, Miss Zhou, for taking care of Liuxiang's snack business recently. Miss Zhou, are you here to enjoy the flowers?"

"That's right. Shopkeeper Shu Xi is here to pick flowers, but he wants to make peach blossom wine?"

"Yes, not only peach blossom stuffing, the shop also sells peach blossom cakes. Miss Zhou can bring some to try next time."

Lou Lan'er felt uncomfortable when she saw Mr. Sun, who looked similar to Qi Rui. She turned around and pulled Shu Xi and said, "Ah Shu, it's going to rain. Do you want to leave first?"

When Mao Xi saw that the peach blossoms had been picked, he said goodbye to Miss Zhou and his wife.

As soon as the ladies nearby heard that Ma Xi was the shopkeeper of Liuxiang Snacks, they all gathered around

"I have long heard that the fruits at the Lihua Town Fruit Cake Shop are delicious. Are you the shopkeeper there?"

"Does your shop sell peach blossom cakes? I heard that they are a fruit only available in the palace!"

"Shopkeeper, when are you going to open a restaurant in Kaitang County?"

……

Seeing that the diners here were very enthusiastic, Mao Xi said: "Sisters, the shop in Kaitang County will be opened in the future. I have to bother you all to come to Lihua Town for shopping recently. When the stage becomes lively again, I will come to the east stage to set up stalls every ten days. Twice, selling popcorn and peach blossom cakes.”

Just as he was talking, the light rain began to wash off, and Mu Zhiyuan took Shui Xi and Lou Lan'er to a nearby teahouse to avoid the rain.

This teahouse is different from the teahouse that Mao Xi visited for the first time. The decoration here is elegant and there are many literati and elegant people inside who talk about poetry.

The three of them found a seat by the window and sat down to take shelter from the rain.

Light rain gurgled outside the window, orioles screamed, and people without umbrellas hurried past the window.

Upstairs in the tea house, the music "Three Plum Blossom Alleys" played by the piano and flute was heard.

The two literati sitting next to each other were discussing Chunyu Fangfei and Green Willow and Red Peach.

After two cups of tea, there was another explosion outside the window, and another burning tiger demon lantern was raised on the roof.

"It's the rice shop on the corner of the street!" Shui Xi stood up and exclaimed.

The scholar on the side asked Mao Xi to whisper softly: "Shh, stop making noise and let's listen to music!"

"Brother Zhong, it seems that the house outside exploded!"

"Brother Yun, wait until I finish listening to this song!"

After hurriedly paying the bill, the three of them ran towards the door of the tea house.

Mao Xi was shocked in her heart: "You are really deaf to what is going on outside the window. The rice shops where people eat have exploded, and these people are actually indifferent!"

When they rushed downstairs to Mipu, the tiger demon lamp had burned out, and some people among the people had already shouted, "Tiger demon! It's a tiger demon!"

After the tiger demon lantern was burned out, it was like a magic trick in the air, and countless pieces of paper fell down like flowers, scattering on the onlookers near Xujia Mipu.

It was written on the paper: [Chen Qingqingtian: The shopkeeper of the Xu family is in arrears with the monthly payment. ]

Mu Zhiyuan took this note and took Mao Xi to the Yamen Gate.

"Brother Mu, today's criminal is the same person who exploded on the stage two days ago?" Shui Xi asked.

"If you just ask for monthly money, you just need to bring the petition and go to the yamen gate to play the drum. Why do you have to do this? Let's go to the grievance drum and have a look."

The place where drums of grievances are heard at the gate of the Kaitang County government office.

An old man was holding a petition, complaining about injustice, and was confronting an inspector.

When Mao Xi saw the two of them chatting for a while, the old man returned angrily without beating the drum of injustice.

"Old man, what's your grievance? Why don't you play the drum?" Mao Xi asked with concern.

"Oh, I made three trips. They said that my complaint and evidence were not up to standard, and they wouldn't let me complain. They said that even if I submitted the complaint, the magistrate would not hold a trial."

Mu Zhiyuan knew that Zhou Rusheng, the county magistrate, was transferred to Kaitang County to take over the post of magistrate just because he was known as Qingtian, so he would definitely not derelict in his duties.

Mu Zhiyuan comforted him: "Old man, I heard that the county magistrate is a man of the sky. He will not let you be wronged."

"But if you can't hand over this complaint, how can you get a trial?"

"Old man, what do you say?"

The old man was full of grievances and took the opportunity to vent his bitterness: "I lent my neighbor Lai Wu two hundred taels last year and agreed to pay it back this year. Two months have passed and the guy refused to repay.

The first two times I came here, the inspector said that I had no proof of loan other than an IOU, and I had no property guaranteed. This time I took the testimony of the bank manager when I took out the banknote at the bank and gave it to Lai Wu, and I also used the land deeds of our two families as security.

But today the inspector said again that there are many people named Lai Wu in Kaitang County. I have no evidence to prove that the Lai Wu on the IOU is the same as the Lai Wu on the guaranteed land deed. Unless I have his household registration certificate, I can’t prove it. Let me beat the drum and complain. "

Mao Xi found it interesting: "Old man, if Lai Wu borrows money from you, will he be willing to pledge the land deed to you?"

The old man was so regretful that he beat his chest and said, "I was blind at the beginning. I saw that the young man wanted to make a business, and he pledged the land deed to me, so I lent him two hundred taels. If he doesn't return it, at least I still have his land deed."

"Household registration certificate? It's hard for people to file complaints now. No wonder they have to resort to a 'tiger monster' stunt to ask for monthly money. This is to bypass the checking officer and directly create a county-wide bombing case to let Zhou Zhixian know."

Mu Zhiyuan suddenly felt furious. He stepped forward and kicked over the examiner's desk and pushed him to the ground.

He turned around and said to the old man: "Old man, just go and play the drum. If you have anything to do, I will take care of it."
