I opened a restaurant in ancient times

"But last night, fortunately, Cheng Lang and his group of little fellows helped me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to catch that little thief by myself."

"Really!" Jiang Yuan nodded, and said with a smile: "Then we must reward some little heroes!" I don't know where they got such courage, but a few children who are only ten years old dare to catch thieves.

After finishing speaking, the two of them entered the kitchen together, preparing for the whole day's food business.On the other side, the man who was locked in the firewood room was already at night.

Out of a ghost in his heart, the man didn't dare to fall asleep, but kept up his spirits and was alert to all kinds of things around him.He did remember that he came to steal things. In this situation, he was discovered and knocked out.

The night before, he was a little annoyed that the food accessories were not placed in the kitchen, which made his trip useless and fell into the hands of a group of yellow-haired boys.

Thinking of the fear of being dominated by sticks, Niu Fuluo couldn't help but still hurt from the beating. The next time he sees those children, he must beat them up!

Niu Fuluo was tied so tightly that he couldn't move at all.But now seeing a glimmer of light from outside the door, he still hurried to the door.

Looking through the exposed door crack, there are two children outside the door, bending over to pick up firewood on the ground, which is to be sent to the stove, so the two are very serious about it.

They knew that there was a thief in this room, so they didn't get too close.While they were picking it up seriously, they suddenly heard a voice coming from the woodshed.

The voice sounded full of enthusiasm: "Hey, kid, open this door, and I'll give you candies." Niu Fuluo thought that a piece of candy was enough to tempt the two children, so there was an order in his tone.

The two children looked at each other, then made a face at the door of the firewood room at the same time: "Slightly slightly!"

They wouldn't believe his words, they saw it with their own eyes yesterday, this man jumped out of the window in the kitchen!

He must have done nothing good, besides, he has already stolen it from their boss, this matter is even more unforgivable!

The two young men smiled at the door of the firewood room and said, "Come out if you have the ability!"

"You stinky kid!" Niu Fuluo was so angry that he was half dead, and he couldn't help feeling resentful in his heart. If he hadn't been greedy for the money back then, he wouldn't be in such a mess now.

Looking at the pitch-black woodshed in front of him, Niu Fuluo couldn't help but feel a little chilled from beating him. He had been locked in the woodshed all night.

The firewood room was originally located in the corner of the yard, and it was shady and cool all the year round. After such a long time, he was already a little uncomfortable. Coupled with the thin flying wood chips in the house, his nose was very itchy now.

With his hands tied behind his back, Niu Fuluo could only hold back.Those few made him miserable, and when he gets out, he will definitely take revenge for this another success!

It's just a small restaurant, but he has his sister and brother-in-law behind him, so is he afraid that he won't succeed?Even in the court, the magistrate still wants to give his brother-in-law some face.

At that time, I invited my sister to lobby my brother-in-law, he would definitely not even need to go to jail.Thinking of this, he felt a little complacent, even if he was caught, so what, in the end he would let him go for nothing.

Because it is very boring here, I can't get rid of these knots now.In short, the final result is the same, even if he doesn't leave, it's fine.

Niu Fuluo has always been a big-hearted person, so he didn't care too much about the consequences at this time.He was bored and found a comfortable position, resting his head on a piece of wood.

When he woke up again, the ray of light outside the door was gone, he looked up and looked out, it should be already afternoon.

The sun hasn't completely set yet, but this side happens to be in the shade, so it looks a bit dark now.While lying down, he saw the tightly closed wooden door open with a "squeak".

The person who came was the owner of this store.He took Wang Hongyou's money, so naturally he had to do things for him, otherwise he would be sorry for the morality of the world.Niu Fuluo thought he was very free and easy, he said, "Hey, are you here?"

Zhao Heng sneered, and said to him, "I'm a guest today when business is a bit too busy. What are you going to want?"

Niu Fuluo didn't care in his heart, he would be fine anyway, and he didn't bother to talk too much nonsense with this person now, if he hadn't lost money in the gambling shop, he wouldn't be able to do things for others.

"The business of this restaurant is really good recently!" Niu Fuluo thought about Wang Hongyou's heavy money, and he couldn't help feeling more confident.

In the worst case, just give him some money and let the boss let him go, he doesn't believe that it's just a show of prestige in this world!

Recently, the gambling debts of the gambling shop came to an end, and he was in urgent need of money, but he dared not tell his mother and sister at home.Those people said that if they didn't pay back the money on time, they were going to cut off his hand. For this hand, he had to earn Wang Hongyou's money.

Seeing his unrepentant appearance, Zhao Heng didn't want to entangle him too much. It would be best to send this kind of person to the government, so as to save him the trouble of asking him.

"Okay, since that's the case, then go to the government and let the adults make up their minds." After saying that, Zhao Heng turned and left, went to the lobby in front, and called Cheng Lang and his group of young men.

As people who catch thieves, they must go to the government.Anyway, it's starting to close now, and there are not many customers left in the store. It is enough for Brother Yuan and the others to watch the store.

He went to the woodshed in the backyard with Cheng Lang and the others. Several older men helped Zhao Heng, and together they planned to turn him over to the government.

As soon as he got out of the lobby, a guest asked curiously, "Boss, what's the matter? Are you planning to go to the government?"

Zhao Heng raised his head and smiled, and beat the man. This man sneaked into our kitchen, not knowing what he wanted to steal. No, he just got this man and sent him to the government for trial. "

The man was very worried: "What did this man steal?" If this man stole Boss Zhao's prescription, where should they go to eat such authentic food in the future?

You know, since Boss Zhao was on Queqiao Street, it is not uncommon for him to imitate these foods.

I heard about it a few times at that time, but the taste was too different from that of Youyishun. After a while, those merchants gave up.

I don't know who is so wicked, even thinking of stealing other people's recipes to earn money for food, but it's really a pity that this person stole something, and there are other instructions behind what this person does.

It's not that he thinks too much, but that there are only a few things about this business.Except for Fangzi, he really couldn't think of coming here to steal anything, and he couldn't come here to steal something that wasn't ready to eat.

In Zhao Heng's mind, what he thought was the same. The matter of Fang Zi was very important to make it easier for Brother Yuan to study. He specially bought a blank book a few days ago and transcribed it.

If this person finds out, it will be a serious loss. Although this person did not steal anything, it is better to send it to the official in this case, so as to avoid any wrong-minded people in the future.

After a few words of politeness with the guest, Zhao Heng turned to Jiang Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, time is limited, so I will go to the government first. If you are too busy, you can ask Brother Ning and the others to help." you."

"Well, good, you go quickly, so as not to come back later, my mother told me that I should go back earlier." I have been in the town for the past few days and have not gone back.

Although he himself has a clear conscience, Grandma is still worried. No matter what, he must go back to the village today.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Heng suddenly realized in his heart, Jiang Yuan is a little brother, and he is still an unmarried young man. If he doesn't go home every day, what is it like to live with him?

If people knew about it, it would damage Brother Yuan's reputation.Fortunately, no one paid attention to this matter, otherwise it would be troublesome.

He actually forgot such an important event, he was so busy these days that his mind went dizzy!Thinking that his impression score in Aunt Jiang's heart might be low, he felt a little uneasy.

He also thought about earning money quickly and marrying Yuan Ge'er back home, but he couldn't deduct points from Jiang's father and Jiang's mother because of this incident. If Yuan's parents didn't like him, how could he marry Yuan? son go home?

Putting down the messy thoughts in his heart for the time being, Zhao Heng nodded and said to Jiang Yuan: "Okay, I know it's not safe to go back, wait a little bit, I'll see you off when I come back."

If he went back to Dahe Village alone, the road would not only be dark, but also difficult to walk.He remembered that there was a time before, when he was walking back at night at night, Brother Yuan hurt his ankle.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng became even more determined to send Brother Yuan home, and then get some food. On the one hand, Brother Yuan can take it on the road to eat, and on the other hand, he can bring it to Aunt Jiang and Aunt Jiang. Some, let them also taste their new food.

Father Jiang is obsessed with carpentry all day long, completely ignoring the things around him, and Aunt Jiang has no ability to earn money, so she can only do some work such as sewing handkerchiefs with her sisters in the village.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng suddenly felt that if Aunt Jiang, who was idle at home, came to work, not only would she be able to earn money, but at the same time, Aunt Jiang would be able to take care of these children.

After all, he and Jiang Yuan are only seventeen or eighteen years old, so they still don't understand this aspect.Rao is Zhao Heng who is familiar with some educational concepts, but due to time constraints, he has never had time to chat with Cheng Lang and the others.

Since Aunt Jiang can teach a diligent and kind brother like Jiang Yuan, she can naturally teach these children well.Besides, Aunt Jiang has always avoided talking about him and Brother Yuan.

He still doesn't know what she wants in her heart, but after thinking about it, putting Aunt Jiang next to him and Brother Yuan will let Aunt Jiang see his character and ability to make money, otherwise How long will it take to get their consent?

After much deliberation, Zhao Heng felt that this method was really good.However, the only problem now is to see if Aunt Jiang is willing to come. If she is willing, Zhao Heng is also willing to pay the same salary as Brother Yuan.

After making up his mind, Zhao Heng said to Jiang Yuan, "Remember to wait for me, I still have something to say, and besides, it's not safe for you to go back alone."

Jiang Yuan originally only wanted to go back by himself, but after hearing this, he nodded. The road outside was dark, and he was actually a little scared.

After parting with Jiang Yuan, Zhao Heng took a few young men to the county government office.Along the way, someone watched curiously. The tall and strong man was full of disdain, while the group of young men who were pressing down on the man were full of excitement, all of them raised their chests and looked up proudly.

Zhao Heng shook his head with a smile, and then used more force to suppress the man, preventing him from moving indiscriminately.Although Zhao Heng is tall and thin, he has gained some muscle due to running back and forth these days and eating well.

He also pays attention to his health on weekdays, so he has exercised well, so he can hold this tall and strong man now.Those little guys looked like proud peacocks, each and every one of them loosened their grip on this man.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng detained him, and the group walked to the gate of the county government without any risk.A lot of people who did not think it was a big deal to watch the excitement on the road also followed, and even some very leisurely people were surprised to find that the boss who escorted people to the county government office looked familiar!

After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, he finally remembered, isn't this the owner of the food stall that was touched earlier!He had looked at the food stall before.

In order to know how good the food was, he even inquired about the location and went to Beishi, only to eat it.I heard people say that they moved places, so they will no longer sell food in Beishi.

Because he himself was a bit lazy and didn't bother to ask where the location was, did he simply let go of the boss?

With curiosity, he squeezed in front of the crowd.Today, he still has to see what kind of incident this is!

At this time, Zhao Heng was standing in the courtroom and said to the magistrate, "My lord, do you still remember me? I am Niu Lanlan's younger brother! Niu Fuluo! Me!"

"Bold! What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know a woman named Niu Lanlan!" But the name Niu Lanlan sounded slightly familiar.

The county magistrate thought for a while, then remembered his son's concubine, the concubine he had just brought back recently, so now he dotes on him very much. His wife's name.

He saw it when he stayed in his wife's yard. Although he had never met Niu Lanlan himself, he still knew the name.The county magistrate looked hesitantly at the tall and strong man, who just said he was Niu Lanlan's younger brother?

"Who is in the hall, report the name truthfully!"

Zhao Heng cupped his hands and said to the county magistrate, "My lord, Caomin is a food shop on Queqiao Street—the owner of Youyishun is Zhao Heng. A thief entered the kitchen in the backyard of my house, planning to steal something." , Fortunately, a dog raised by Cao Min found out, and this was the only way to successfully catch this man."

"Nonsense! Who went to your kitchen? Could it be that they want to steal something to eat?!" Niu Fu rolled his eyes and had a new thought in his heart.

As long as he refuses to admit it, even if the magistrate doesn't recognize him, so what?Not to mention the guy who is just a small boss!

"Who are you?" The magistrate asked Niu Fuluo seriously.

Looking at the majestic face of the county magistrate, Niu Fuluo's upright mood also fell, and he replied honestly: "The person from Niutou Lane in Caomin Zhilan Town is named Niu Fuluo, and my sister is Niu Lanlan!"

Then, he quickly pointed at Zhao Heng and said, "I don't know him at all! He framed me!"

"My lord, I have witnesses!" Hearing his shameless remarks, Zhao Heng was very angry. The things thrown in the kitchen were the recipes he wrote wrong before.

When transcribing the recipe book for Brother Yuan, he didn't write for a long time. He was afraid of damaging the expensive blank book, so he wrote a recipe or two on straw paper.

Because of a typo, he put the few pieces of toilet paper in the stove and burned them when he was about to start a fire.But now it seems that this typo in the prescription has helped him.

"Where are the witnesses?" The county magistrate looked back, only seeing a group of children, he dismissed them casually, not paying attention to them.

Zhao Heng took a step back, exposed the three young men behind him, and said to the magistrate, "My lord, these are the children who saw it with their own eyes and knocked down this little thief with their own hands."

"is it?"

Hearing what the boss said, Cheng Lang and the others couldn't help puffing up their chests, ready to accept the approving eyes from the county magistrate.They have helped Boss Zhao a lot this time, no matter what, they are still very proud in their hearts!

"Are these children witnesses?"

"Yes, my lord, please listen to what they say, and then make a decision."

"Then let's see."

After hearing the magistrate's words, the three young men were scrambling to be the first to speak, talking one after another, and couldn't make out what they said.

Seeing that the county magistrate was frowning, Zhao Heng hurriedly reminded the young men, "Be quiet, just talk to yourself."

The chirping sound disappeared instantly, Cheng Lang and the others looked at each other, and then, the older Cheng Lang said, "My lord, I indeed saw it with my own eyes."

"At that time, it was already night on the floor. There was no dog barking outside. I was about to get up at night, when I heard the sound of dogs barking and stools being overturned from the backyard. It was so loud that I woke up immediately. .”

Cheng Lang swallowed his saliva, and boldly continued: "I got ready to see what was going on, and found that Boss Zhao next to me was also awakened. This is our boss."

Pointing to Zhao Heng next to him, he continued after the county magistrate nodded, "Then we went to the backyard, and I saw the boss taking a broom, so I hurried back to the lobby to get the door latch."

"Later I knew, I knew!" A young man quickly took over the conversation and continued: "We all woke up, so I took the broom with everyone and went to the backyard. Brother Cheng Lang said that the boss has gone."

Cheng Lang took over the conversation: "We guessed right, the little thief came out of the window, and we beat him right in front of him, and then locked him in the firewood room."

"Then I came here and asked the county magistrate to make a judgment." Zhao Heng hurriedly said to the county magistrate after hearing the ins and outs of the young men.

"It's all nonsense! There's no such thing!"

"No such thing?" Zhao Heng smiled angrily, pointed to the wound on his body, and said, "Then tell me, where did the fresh wound on his body come from?"

Niu Fuluo was speechless for a moment, there was really no excuse for this, he could only insist: "I accidentally dropped it myself, can't I?!"

"Crack!" There was a sound of a startling sound, and the magistrate came down from the hall. The county magistrate rubbed his brows and said, "Shut up, how can you be presumptuous in the courtroom!"

The county magistrate paused for a while, looked at Niu Fuluo again, and said, "Tell me, where did the scars on this body come from? I'm not that easy to fool!" The scars looked like they were made with sticks, and they were just Scabs don't look like old wounds.

"I, I..." Niu Fuluo didn't expect that the county magistrate didn't know him, so he panicked and faltered.

The county magistrate watched him dodge his eyes, and already thought about it in his heart. He looked at Zhao Heng and asked, "Do you have any other evidence?"

"Yes!" Zhao Heng took a step forward and said to the magistrate, "My lord, since we caught this little thief, we just tied him up and locked him in the woodshed, and didn't touch him, so now he should still have us on him." The missing prescription, that is, the thief stole something in the kitchen. This is the evidence."

"Come here." After hearing his explanation, the county magistrate raised his hand and summoned two yamen servants, and said to them, "Go and search him to see if he has this prescription."

"Yes!"

Two yamen servants were ordered to search Niu Fuluo's body, and finally took out a piece of paper folded into a square from his sleeve.After the yamen servant found out, he quickly presented it to the sitting adults.
