I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Seeing Nian was still a little embarrassed. He hadn't seen a stranger for a long time. Since he fell ill, his aunt often said that he wanted to rest in the house, so he seldom went out of the house.

When this person entered the house, Da Lang felt a little excited. Although he went out to play with his friends every day, even if he couldn't go out to play, even if his aunt asked him to go out to do work, he would be willing.

Seeing the doctor, Dalang's heart was moved. Is aunt really sure?

He had a sore throat these past few days and couldn't speak, but he knew that the doctor was speaking, and there was a long-lost smile on the corner of Da Lang's mouth.

It's a pity that since I got sick last month, I have been stuck in the house all day long. The dilapidated and narrow house is filled with stuffy heat, and the bedding has not been washed for a long time. It is really smelly in this summer.

In Dalang's heart, he will not be treated. He is worried about the doctor, and he just hopes that the doctor will not dislike him.

The two years of self-esteem that smelled so bad, after a long time, he still endured it, and Zhao Heng asked, "Why don't you open the windows in such a hot weather?"

The woman sneered and said: "If you are sick, you have to stay indoors. It's not good to be blown by the wind."

The old man frowned and said sharply: "How can this work? It's easier to aggravate the condition if you keep suffocating in the room. Go and open the window to let in the wind!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, he went to the window and got rid of all the messy objects on the window. It took a lot of effort to open the window smoothly.

The strange smell in the opened room dissipated, and the coughing sound that had been coughing for many years became less.

Zhao Heng reincarnated to pat the dust on his palms, and said, "Isn't it much better now, isn't it hot in summer?"

The old woman: "Is this child your patient?"

"Yes." The woman replied for a while, then sat on the stool and fanned the wind, ignoring the two of them.

Fortunately, the doctor didn't leave, turned around and left feeling not very good, and was afraid that his aunt would be dissatisfied with this, so he struggled to get up from the bed.

Wang walked up to him slowly, motioned him to lie down, and said: "It's okay, just lie down if you feel uncomfortable."

"Okay." Da Lang stopped struggling and got up obediently to feel his pulse.

It can be seen that he is in good spirits, and his illness is not as serious as the woman said before. There are only red bumps on the exposed parts of his face and hands.

The vomiting and diarrhea that the woman mentioned before and the situation of speaking clearly did not exist, although the child did not look terminally ill.

Zhao Heng didn't know what to say about her, but what about the child's illness?possible cure? "

His eyes and tongue got old, and he said: "This doesn't look that serious, it's because of staying in the house all day long, go out for a walk if you have nothing to do, don't be bored at home all day. Also, didn't it happen a few days ago? Did you eat anything you shouldn't eat?"

This symptom looks very similar to a case diagnosed before. That man was in the same state as Da Lang at the beginning, or even more serious than him. If it can be confirmed that Da Lang's disease is the same as before, it will be easy to handle .

Da Lang has been convalescing at home recently, and the food is brought by his aunt. He eats whatever his aunt gives him. A few days ago, his aunt gave him very delicious food!

Dalang's parents died early, and he lives with his second uncle and aunt all year round. He regards his second uncle and aunt as relatives second only to his parents, so he trusts his second aunt very much.

Even if it was him, he couldn't think of anything, let alone answer, he could only say: "My second aunt brought in my food, I don't know."

The woman was originally sitting on the sidelines watching the doctor busy, and she was still in the mood to grab a handful of dried fruit to eat. While eating and watching, she was surprised: Could it be that she was discovered?

Then she comforted herself that it would be impossible to be discovered. She did it so covertly at the beginning that even Da Lang didn't know it. How could she know it just by getting a pulse? Food, what do you eat at home, where is it your turn to be picky?"

Rolling his eyes, he pointed at Zhao Heng: "The only time I bought food from his stall was when I got sick!"

"Okay!" The old man has a good temper, but when he treats patients, he will never allow anyone next to him to make a fuss. He continued to ask: "What did you buy?"

The woman said: "Cold noodles..." Then she said loudly: "It was he who made it for me, which made Da Lang sick! Is it not his fault? Is it my fault?"

Zhao Heng couldn't take it anymore, he took a step forward, and said: "I have a clear conscience, I eat freshly prepared food every day, if you say that Da Lang's illness is caused by spoiled food, I don't admit it!"

The woman heard what he said, and Waigan said: "You have to admit it if you don't! This is the fault of your family's food! Not only that, 20 taels of silver can be used to calm down!"

"If you look at me this way, who is right and who is right, do you dare?"

"Yes... why don't you dare!" Anyway, she has someone to back her up, and that person said that no matter what happened, she would put the blame on this person.

Thinking about the silver that the man gave her after finishing what he promised, it was a whole ten taels of silver!Coupled with the money obtained from these people, it would cost two to thirty taels of silver, which is not a small amount of money.

All in all, if the money really went to the book, it would be a matter of glory!

As for Da Lang, let him go out to the wharf to sell goods for others to earn money. He has been raised for so many years for nothing, and now he has a little use. He has to pay back all the money he spent at home, anyway, he is already a teenager. Now, I am an adult, and it is time to go out and do my work.

"Okay, then let's go to the yamen now and settle this matter." Zhao Heng made up his mind to go to the yamen. If she had no ghosts in her heart, she would not be afraid to go to the yamen to confront her face to face.

"Now... now?" The woman was just an ordinary old man who dared not speak loudly, let alone the county magistrate. She never thought that such a trivial matter would cause trouble in the county government.

I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that this young man would take her to the county government office to explain the matter in front of the county magistrate. She couldn't help being a little scared. It is said that the county government office is very scary. A layer of skin will not come out.

"Let's do it now. I have something to do in the afternoon. Take Dalang with you and let's go."

Since it should be due to the low immunity caused by being bored in the house all day and not eating any good food, this happened.

He turned around and asked, "Doctor, is there anything wrong with this child? What kind of illness is this?"

The old doctor stroked his beard and said: "It should be something that shouldn't be eaten. I have treated this before. If the time is short, it should be nothing serious."

"That's good, please be a witness and go to the county government with me."

"It's okay, just go for a while." The child didn't go out for many days, and just stayed in this stuffy room, and there were other reasons behind his visit.

But no matter what, the child's body is becoming weak, and what kind of behavior makes him very disgusted.

The old man also has his own grandchildren, so no matter whether it is his own children or other children, he has a loving heart. What he saw today, in the final analysis, he might as well go to the county government.

The child's uncle and aunt think that if he lives at his uncle's and aunt's house, he should be able to find a job at a teenager age.

If it doesn't work, it's okay to just let him go to his own medical center to do odd jobs. After all, he will have a bite to eat and won't starve to death.

The old man took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, sat at the table with a pen and wrote a prescription for Dalang: "I will prescribe some medicine for Dalang later, and he should be fine in a few days after taking the medicine."

Zhao Heng reached out and patted Da Lang on the back, and asked him, "Can you get up?"

Da Lang was only ten years old, and he had a lot of fears about the county government. At this time, he heard a few adults say that he was going to the county government, and he was even more afraid, but he knew that it was all because of himself, so he tried his best to straighten up :"can."

Seeing that he was struggling, Zhao Heng simply picked him up from the bed, put him on the edge of the bed and let him sit up: "Take your time, don't be afraid, going to the county government office is a trivial matter, and you will be back soon."

Zhao Heng knew how the ancients were in awe of the county government, so he comforted this young man softly, so you can just answer honestly. "

It would take years for the county magistrate to manage Zhilan Town so well. Zhao Heng straightened up and looked around for the woman who was standing there just now.

The woman was standing on the side just now, but after turning her head, the doctor finished writing and the pharmacy was worried that no one could be found, so she took money to treat the child!

At this corner, she stretched out her ears to secretly listen to the conversation between the two people in the room. She waited until the sound faded away before turning around.

Turning around, I saw Mian came back, smelling of alcohol all over his body, his face was also glowing red, and he was blindfolded and unconscious.

The woman hurriedly supported her man, while scolding him: "I know how to drink all day long! Drink, drink, drink, why don't you drink to death!"

The man shook off her hand, mumbled something, and stumbled towards the house.

"Oh! Can you wake up?!" The woman yelled at him sullenly, "Stop!"

"What... what's wrong with hiccup?" The man stared at his misty eyes, and went to sleep for a while absently. "

The woman grabbed him and whispered next to his ear, "It's coming soon!"

"Hmm... um? Where did you get the money?"

"Hush! At home and outside, at least a dozen or two people can get her to go to the county government. My heart is full of money, a dozen taels of silver!

"Is there such a good thing?! When you get the money, give me some. There are still a few jars of good wine in the tavern that I haven't tasted yet. How dare you say anything if you can't see it!"

"Yes, yes, what my husband said is true. But those two are still in Dalang's house, and they said they are going to the county government. Husband and I will go together."

"Hic!" After hiccupping, the man waved his hand and said, "No! Do I have to go to bed without seeing it!"

The woman sees that he won't get in, so she won't waste time on him, go to the yamen as soon as she goes to the yamen, and confess to that person anyway, anyway, that person ordered her, even if the truth is finally found out, as long as she bites her to death and does not change her mouth, What can he do to her!

Thinking of this, she sent the man into the house and went to Da Lang's house.

Da Lang has already tidied up, his body is much cleaner than before, and the smell is not as pungent as before. He is sitting quietly on the stool waiting for news from a few people.

After packing up the medicine box, the woman just came in and said, "Let's go."

The woman didn't know why this time, she didn't speak, she just walked with her head sullen.The woman's house is very close to Beishi, only one street away.

Therefore, they had to pass Zhao Heng's stall. When the three of them came out of the yard, Zhao Heng was surprised to find that some good and boring people were still waiting at the gate of the yard, ready to finish watching the farce.

See Zhao Heng: "Hey! Little boss, what is going on with this matter?"

This short and fat man is a frequent visitor to Zhao Heng's stall, because he comes here a lot, almost every day, sometimes to pick up food for others, and sometimes to eat for himself.

Every time he came here, he still liked to chat with Zhao Heng, so Zhao Heng recognized this person at a glance.

Zhao Heng asked suspiciously, "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work today?"

The short and fat man waved his hand and said, "I'm still here to bring a meal for the workers today. Who would have thought that when I first came here, I saw the little brother at your stall packing up his things and said he didn't want to buy anything. I was so surprised, okay. Why didn’t I buy it. Only then did the people next to me know what happened to me.”

"Don't worry, people in my family and my coworkers have eaten a lot of food from your stall?"

Zhao Heng saw that it was not easy for him to go back and forth, so he smiled and said to him: "Now I have to go to the county government, and I can open it when the magistrate of the county gives a fair judgment."

Sometimes what the old customers say is more effective, maybe he can say something good to himself in front of the officials, besides, he is not afraid of others to say it, even when he is in the county government.

"Okay, I'll go to see the stall later!"

"Okay, it will be cheaper for you then."

The old man ate other foods. Originally, he was not interested in this young man's stall, but after hearing what this short and strong man said, he couldn't help being aroused a little curiosity. What kind of food is it?

Looking at Zhao Heng's medicine chest on his back, he asked with a smile, what kind of food did you buy? Is there any food suitable for people my age? "

Zhao Heng replied: "They sell some pasta, which can be eaten by people of all ages, but those with weak stomachs should not eat too much, or they will easily get sick."

"Well, after this incident is over, I'll try it too. If it tastes good, I'll take some back for my grandchildren to try too."

"Okay, it's cheaper for you. Children tend to quarrel and not eat in summer. This is suitable for summer, and some people who suffer from bitter summer can eat it."

Seeing the conversation, the woman felt resentment in her heart, and said bitterly: "There are still people willing to pay for that crap, scoff."

After walking a few steps, I arrived at Beishi. To get to the county government office, I had to pass through Beishi, go out from the entrance of Beishi, and headed all the way to the county government office.

Jiang Yuan has already packed up the things on the stall, and is about to go to the storage store in Beishi.

He quickly put down the cart in his hand, picked up Zhao Haha and went up to him: "What's the matter, where are you going with the people now?"

When Zhao Heng saw it, he walked faster and came to him: "It's nothing serious, just go to the county government office, don't go to the storage store, just put the cart on the side stall for people to see."

Jiang Yuan didn't ask too much, anyway, he would know the cause and effect after waiting for a while: "Okay."

Jiang Yuan was relieved to go to the county government with Zhao Heng and the others after asking the old man at the chaos stall next to him.

It takes about a quarter of an hour to go to the county government office, and it is very close to Beishi. At this time, a huge team followed the group of people not far away. They were idle and boring ordinary people, and they all followed a few people to the county government gate.

There is a pair of very mighty stone lions at the gate of the county government office, and the big drum looking inside is needed when there is an injustice case, and Zhao Heng's kind of businessmen's trivial matters generally don't need to use the big drum.

The yamen servant at the gate was invited in to report the case. The yamen servant was a tall man, and it happened to be his turn to be on duty today, sweating profusely.

A few pennies worth of copper money, the yamen servant said: "You wait here, I'll go and make a report."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble."

After about a stick of incense, the yamen servant came back, "Your Excellency is sitting in the hall, you go in. Only those who are related to the case can go in, others can't go in, it depends on Fang: "Here, where are you going? side can see. "

After hearing his words, the crowd dispersed at the main entrance, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of case is this, it's so lively."

Saying this, I see what is going on in my heart, but I am still on duty, so I can't leave to watch at will.

Just as the strong man happened to be here, he hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother, stand for me for a while! I'll go and see the excitement!"

"You can't fix this problem anymore, just wait for the boss to deduct your wages!" The visitor smiled and punched him on the shoulder: "This is the last time, come back soon!"

"Come on, don't worry, I'll be back right away, and I promise not to let the Master Registrar find out!" After saying this, he quickly ran to the side and mixed into the crowd.

It's not that he doesn't want to get closer, it's mainly because he is afraid that the chief clerk sitting in the main hall will find out that he sneaked out, or come to watch the fun when he judges the case, and if he finds out, at least half of this month's salary will be deducted!That's half!It's not Xiaoqian, he will definitely go back immediately after finishing it!

"Crack!" A sound brought him back to his senses, and the Master Registrar said sharply, "Which merchant? What's the matter?"

Zhao Heng hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "It's my food stall. My name is Zhao Heng, and it's located at No. 23, District C, Beishi. The reason for this is that this sister-in-law came and said she ate my food. Chi Shi made the child sick, and said that her child had vomiting and diarrhea, and couldn't speak clearly. I said that if this matter is really caused by my family, I will definitely be responsible to the end."

"Well, it's this one." Zhao Heng pointed to the white-bearded old man next to him, and continued: "We went with this sister-in-law to her family's sick child, her family's eldest son, and this is it."

Da Lang's fingers tightly pinched the hem of his clothes, cramping himself.

"Then, the sister-in-law said that if her family could not be cured,

My child, I need to pay 20 or [-] taels of silver to compensate, but I don’t want to. I don’t know if the cause of her child’s illness is caused by the food I cooked, so everyone is here today, please do it. a fair decision. "

After hearing what Zhao Heng said, he was cut off by a woman's voice.

"Nonsense! It's not like that!"

"Shut up! Don't talk until your lord asks you!" The black-faced yamen servant next to him yelled at the woman, and somehow made a loud noise in the courtroom!

It was scary to be tall. After hearing this reprimand, the woman immediately fell silent, not daring to say any more.

The master thought for a moment and said, "Who can prove that what you said is true? Are there any witnesses?"

Zhao Heng looked at it without hesitation: "This one went to that sister-in-law's house with me. This doctor was lying on the bed, but we didn't avoid him when we talked, and he knew it."

"Oh? Then tell me more about it." When he was young, the doctor worked as a doctor in the medical clinic in Zhilan Town. After saving money for a few years, he started to drive himself with gray hair and looks quite old.

The director was still a little worried that the familiar doctor sat down and said. "

"Yes." The person next to him received the order, quickly went to get the stool, brought it to the old man, and signaled him to sit down.

The old man bowed slightly to express his gratitude, then sat down and said: "That's right, what he said is correct, he didn't exaggerate."

The director asked Da Lang again: "Tell me, what did you eat these days? How did you get sick? Is what the boss said just now true?"

Da Lang pinched the hem of his clothes, Nuonuo said: "A few days ago... I was sick, my aunt let me stay in the house, and my daily food was brought by my aunt."

"I was sick a few days ago? What's wrong with you?"

"Yes, my aunt said it was the wind and cold, and said that it would be fine to sweat in the house. I listened to my aunt and stayed in the house all the time."

The master paused for a moment, then said: "Then what kind of food does your aunt send you every day? Is there anything special?"

"I eat whatever I do at home every day. Something special..." Dalang thought, and said, "One day my aunt gave me very delicious noodles. I don't know what the name is, but it tastes cold. No hot soup."

Da Lang said to Zhao Heng: "Is this food from your family?"

"That's right, it's my family's food." Zhao Heng replied, "However, if it is said that the quality of the food has hurt Da Lang, I don't admit it."

The head book raised his eyebrows, originally he thought this case was an ordinary case, but now the kanban has something else to say: "Why?"

"I use the freshest ingredients to make food every day. All kinds of food on the stall never stay overnight, so they will never go bad and moldy. I have never heard from regular customers that someone has a stomachache after eating it. Furthermore, When this sister-in-law came to my stall, she was not talking about the quality of the food I made, but about the red bumps on the patient's face and hands, vomiting and diarrhea."

Zhao Heng looked at it and continued: "When we went to this sister-in-law's house, we found that Dalang's health is not as bad as she said, and his illness is not so difficult to treat. As for the red bumps on the hands and face Symptoms, the doctor said that he has received such patients before, please let the doctor tell you the specific situation, I don’t understand this.”

The master book raised his arm, indicating that the old man could speak.

The old man stroked his beard, and said slowly: "I did receive such a patient before. At that time, his condition was more serious than Dalang's. There were red bumps all over his body, not only that, but also very serious."

"Later, I found out in an ancient book. This situation is most likely due to eating something that shouldn't be eaten. The book said that a small number of people in the world should pay attention to eating. Among these people, some People have symptoms of this kind of disease on the fruit, some are leaves, some are catkins, once they accidentally eat or touch it, they will have different degrees of itching, redness, swelling, and other symptoms."

"These things are completely uncontrollable. They were brought in the mother's womb. Most people are fine, only a few symptoms, such as redness, itching, nasal congestion, coughing, and everything. Tell the adults that this is a child A child of some."

After listening to this long speech, the master secretary slightly understood, and asked the board about eating. "

"Yes, it can be understood in this way, please make a fair decision, sir."

Zhao Hengdao: "My lord, the matter has been clarified. If there are people who still have doubts, I can prove that my food is fine."

"Big guy, to be fair, which one of the food at my stall is not good to eat? Which one will be sick and bedridden after eating?"

The lively crowd outside shouted even louder: "No!"

Someone else shouted: "It's true that there is no such thing! I think it's extorting people's money!"

Look at this board these days to find fault!

The master also thought it made sense, this woman did have some problems, if Da Lang was sick, why didn't he ask a doctor and just keep him bored in the room?Every family in Zhilan Town is well-off, and ordinary people can save money to hire a doctor.

What's more, I really don't know whether the woman put something into the food before giving it to Da Lang. These are all open to discussion. He shifted his eyes to the woman: "If you have anything to explain, just tell me."
