There was nothing left of the food made by Mu Ting, and the food was clean.

These people still felt dissatisfied after a meal, so they went to ask the farmers to buy mustard greens and bamboo shoots, and each picked up a pile of stones to take back to the city, intending to let the cook at home make dumplings and eat them tomorrow morning.

As for the stonefish, you can send them to Taixue at noon tomorrow, to open the eyes of those who have never seen the world in Taixue, and let them know what a stonefish is.

Of course, the most important point is that if they eat delicious food outside, if they don't bring some back to their families, they will inevitably be scolded for being unfilial.

As a filial son, this kind of thing is definitely not allowed to happen. The parents are happy, and the money in hand is also rising. It is all experience.

After a group of people finished eating, they returned to the city with wild vegetables and stones.

Half a day later, the people in Beijing were still talking about the death of Duke Wei's mansion in the sea of ​​flames. Few people mentioned Chu Heng's death, and the excitement in the city did not decrease because of the deaths of these people. They were all insignificant people to the people.

But for some people, it is very uncomfortable to be put together in such a solid way.

Chu Heng suddenly died of poison in the middle of the night. King Jin didn't react at first, and he was stunned for a while before realizing that the son who had been used as a pawn for many years was gone.

There might be a bit of sadness in his heart, but soon he realized how much Chu Heng's death had brought him.

After the death of his son, it would be inconvenient for him to enter the palace, and he would have no intention of rebelling. His son is dead, so what's the use of his rebellion?

In particular, the matter of Chu Heng was still related to that old thing Mu Wenhui. He had just arrested him during the day, but he died in the middle of the night, and he died of poison. The king will also force this matter on his head.

After a short period of sadness, ecstasy ushered in. Jin Wang is very grateful to Wei Zili and Mu Wenhui.

He was happy, but Mu Wenhui was naturally unhappy. He and Wei Zili had a cooperative relationship and used each other, but he never expected that Wei Zili would plot against him before his death, breaking his original plan.

Not only will Jin Wang not rebel as he arranged, but he is very likely to go to the emperor to accuse him of killing his son, and let the emperor investigate him.

In fact, Mu Wenhui was also afraid, afraid that the emperor would not want to wait any longer and would have to advance everything.

The emperor can do it at any time, he doesn't choose a date, but he cares, he has been planning for so many years, just for that moment.

Mu Wenhui went back and forth in the study several times, and finally made up his mind. His eyes turned cold, and he said softly to himself: "It seems that I can only force you not to move."

"Come on!"

As soon as Mu Wenhui finished speaking, someone opened the door and came in, kneeling in front of Mu Wenhui, "Master."

"Keep an eye on those moves by Chun Wei, keep an eye on them, and act swiftly when necessary."

The person who came came said yes.

Mu Wenhui's instructions were not over yet, he said: "The Qi family is also watching carefully, especially my good son, he must be well."

After receiving the order, the servants left. Mu Wenhui turned around and his eyes fell on the wall. There was a painting hanging there. In the painting was a young and beautiful woman. There was madness in Mu Wenhui's eyes, and he clenched his hands tightly. The chair next to her said, "Meng'er, I will see you again soon, and then I will personally send your family to reunite. You must be looking forward to it, after all, you have been looking forward to it for so many years."

After Mu Wenhui finished speaking, he laughed, the louder he laughed, but it didn't make people feel happy at all, only shuddering.

There was a terrifying tranquility in Duke Mu's mansion, and the servants in the mansion didn't even dare to make a sound no matter how busy they were going in and out.

It is said that the father and son of the prince who fell into the pond didn't even have a decent funeral, they were hastily rolled up in a mat and buried.

But the Duke’s Mansion set up a mourning hall after Mu Qiu’s death. Several coffins were placed in the room, each with a tablet covered with cloth. Every day, the mourning hall was brightly lit with candles, but the Duke did not allow anyone to approach, so that Everyone in the mansion panicked.

On the day when Mu Qiu became a lunatic and was sent back, the Duke's wife fell ill, saying that it was because her son was insane and was hit so hard that she couldn't afford it.

This huge Duke's Mansion began to become impersonal, frightening everywhere.

And behind closed doors, the outside world knows nothing about it.

……

The Son of Heaven soon knew about Mu Wenhui's little trick. He was not in a hurry. If he was in a hurry, he would have done it long ago.

The emperor called Wang Qi and said: "Go and give some warnings, otherwise I don't mind moving this day forward."

Wang Qi took the order to leave, and Duo Fu stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, the third son of the Qi family went out of the city with friends and friends yesterday, and ate mustard green dumplings, mutton and fresh bamboo shoots, and stone fish outside the city."

The emperor looked sideways, and looked at Duofu expressionlessly, "Are you encouraging me to leave the palace again?"

"Duofu, do you know what you said just now, if the ministers in the court know, ten heads are not enough for you to chop off."

Duofu smiled and said, "Isn't this servant seeing that your majesty has been reviewing memorials all day long, and that you have been busy recently, so I want you to rest for a while."

The emperor glanced at him, "Do you want me to rest or are you greedy?"

Duofu sneered, not daring to answer.

The Son of Heaven put down a memorial that had just been reviewed, and said, "I won't be going anytime soon. When these troublesome things are resolved, is there anything I want to eat?"

It's okay not to mention the food, but if you mention it, the emperor can't wait to put Mu Wenhui's old stuff in the same pot as his subordinates.

The emperor found it annoying, so he drove Duofu away, but he couldn't eat it, so what did he say, it just made people worry about it.

Mu Ting didn't know that his culinary skills made the emperor also miss him, and he was busy with the food street.

I signed a contract with several restaurants before, and rented a few shops for them, and then they bought a cookbook from Mu Ting and made a snack. In the alley, the recipes are bought at high prices, and the snack shop gives Mu Ting a [-]% bonus every month in addition to the rent, and the other [-]% is used to help the poor.

Standing behind Mu Ting is the Qi family, and the Qi family has close contacts with the Yu family and the Zhu family. Even if there are people behind these restaurant shopkeepers, they dare not offend Mu Ting easily. The [-]% profit ratio is not a problem at all compared to the money they can make. Son.

Most of the shops are rented out by Mu Ting to ordinary people. If they have food they can buy, they only pay the rent. If they need to be taught by Mu Ting, they will pay dividends every month for as many years as they want. The profits are all theirs.

The people who can come to set up stalls are also screened. Most of them are from poor families, but they are diligent and honest, and those with bad intentions don't even have the opportunity to rent a shop.

There are about [-] to [-] kinds of food in the whole alley, and each family has different dishes. If you have a small appetite and want to eat more, you can also order a platter. .

At the entrance of each shop, Mu Ting asked people to put trash cans made of bamboo, and the diners would throw the trash into the bucket after eating, so as not to throw it all over the floor.

Diners with a large shop can go in and sit down to eat. If the shop is small enough to set up a stall, they can carry their food and eat on the public tables and chairs outside, but most people should prefer to eat while walking.

Mu Ting also bought a piece of open space near the alley, which can be used to park people's carriages.

The road into the alley is full of colorful lanterns. When it gets dark, the candles inside are lit, and everyone passing by can see it.

The food street has not yet officially opened, and it has attracted many people, who are full of curiosity about these delicious foods that are said to be different and delicious.

Because of this lantern, the alley has attracted a lot of diners, and the business of the barbecue shop is particularly good. Even though Mu Ting has recruited more chefs, Xiaoer, and added barbecue grills, it is still too busy, and the curfew is stuck every night. time to close.

Those who haven't eaten are looking forward to the early opening of the food street, so that even if they can't eat barbecue, they can eat other things.

Knowing that the shops that are about to open for business are all related to Mu Ting, they don't worry about the taste at all, and they will support no matter what they sell.

After the previous preparations were done, Mu Ting chose a special day to open the store, which was the day when the top three in this year's palace examination paraded through the streets.

Chun Wei took the exam day after day, and after the results were released, he passed the palace exam. The emperor hand-picked the top three in the palace exam, and the three-year imperial exam was over.

Zhuangyuanlang, No. [-], and Tanhua rode through the streets on horseback. The streets will be extremely lively on this day. Both men, women, and children will come to the streets to rejoice and run along the road. If you are tired and hungry, you need to find something to eat or rest The food street is the most suitable place.

At the entrance of the alley, Mu Ting asked someone to make a signboard, on which was written the name of the food street - Shitianxia!

Although there were only thirty or forty kinds of food when it opened, it contained the characteristics of all places in the world. When his business starts, I believe that more people will want to join in the future, and really eat the world on this street. A variety of delicacies is not a luxury.

As soon as Zhuangyuan Lang and others who were playing horse parades left, Mu Ting asked people to set off firecrackers, and asked Xiao Er to beat the gong and shout at the side. 88% off, plus a small gift.

The business inside was booming on the first day of opening, and the shops also resorted to their housekeeping skills, and the fragrance spread directly from the alley to the street outside.

Many old customers of restaurants and barbecue shops knew about the opening of today’s food street yesterday, and they have been guarding at the entrance of the alley. When the gong hits, these people can’t wait to run in. If they don’t run faster, they will have to queue again. Yes, they don't want to wait long.

And other people who haven't entered this alley, seeing someone so active and the alluring aroma coming out, can't help being curious, wanting to go in and have a taste.

Mu Ting also made a lot of food specially designed to tempt children, such as rice cracker candies, candied haws, bowl cakes, etc., as long as you go inside and spend money to buy food, you can get some food for free for your children.

People have always been very sensitive to the word "free of charge". Upon hearing this, many people with children went in with their children in their arms.

The guests are brought in, and whether they can keep them depends on each family's ability.

Mu Ting has recruited several supervisors now, so he doesn't need to keep an eye on everything. Seeing that everyone is doing their own things well, he expresses his satisfaction, and then leads Qingbai to eat all the way from the beginning to the end. I packed a large portion and planned to send it to Qi Zhan who was still working hard at school.

There are people coming and going, the scene is lively, the smell is tangy, and everyone's face is filled with satisfied smiles. Mu Ting looked back when he walked to the exit of the alley.

Carrying two huge food boxes, Mu Ting went to Taixue in a carriage. It was noon, and Qi Zhan and his little friend were standing by the door waiting for food, looking very well-behaved.

When he saw that it was Mu Ting getting off the carriage, Qi Zhan immediately wanted to jump in front of him, but he didn't jump out. The gentleman who was blocking the students from going out knocked on his knee with a ruler, Qi Zhan screamed in pain .

Mu Ting smiled, asked Qingbai to pass the food box to Qi Zhan and the others, and then took out a small food box from the carriage to bribe the husband, and asked Qi Zhan to come out and say a few words to him.

The gentleman was not so easy to bribe, but the fragrance inside was really attractive. As a principled gentleman, he chose to let Mu Ting in and let them talk at the door. The gentleman opened the food box and tasted it happily. gourmet food.

"Tingting, why are you here? Is the food street very busy today, are you tired? You can just ask someone to bring it to me, why don't you make a trip by yourself, go back and rest, you haven't rest."

As soon as Mu Ting entered the door, Qi Zhan started talking.

Mu Ting shook his head, "I'm not tired, someone below is in charge, I don't have anything to do now, just go back to count the money at night."

"I missed you, so I came to see you."

Qi Zhan showed a sweet smile instantly, and quickly hugged Mu Ting, "I miss you too, I will go back in the afternoon, you wait for me at home."

Mu Ting nodded. After the tasks at hand are divided, he will have more time to accompany Qi Zhan, and this spring is almost over, he still has a lot of ingredients that he hasn't cooked yet, so he can't miss those that only belong to this season. Some are delicious.

There seemed to be endless things to say, but there was no point. The two of them got bored until the husband finished his lunch, and Mu Ting was kicked out.

After waving to Qi Zhan and telling him to go eat quickly, Mu Ting planned to go back.

But before getting into the carriage, he saw a person, or that person was looking at him, because the hot gaze caught Mu Ting's mind.

Looking at the past, Mu Ting felt that he had something to do with this person, they looked too much alike.

Others will say when they see it, it looks like it was carved out of the same mold, like a father and son.

Mu Ting walked towards the middle-aged man, said hello to him, and said, "My name is Mu Ting, may I ask the elder's name."

The middle-aged man looked a little excited, and there were still tears in his eyes. He raised his hand as if he wanted to grab Mu Ting, but he didn't dare, and finally put it down slowly.

"You should have heard of me, I am from the Xia family."

Mu Ting quickly had the answer in his mind, "You are Xiahou."

He hastened to salute, "I met Xiahou."

Xia Hou Xia Mingxi, he raised Mu Ting's hand, "It's all a false name, there is no need to see outside."

Xia Mingxi carefully looked at the child in front of him. This was the first time he had seen him. It had been seventeen or eighteen years. The young man had come of age very well. His appearance was rare and handsome. His eyebrows and eyes were similar to his own. This face was even more Much like when he was young.

Xia Mingxi said: "I just came back and walked around. I didn't expect to see you today."

Mu Ting also didn't expect that, except for the night he just received Wei Zili's letter, he suffered from insomnia for a long time, Mu Ting never thought about this issue carefully afterwards, the point was already obvious, and he guessed that the emperor should have Knowing his identity, but now he didn't say anything, just waiting.

Wait for an opportune moment.

That being the case, Mu Ting will know nothing, but who should appear in front of him when the truth comes, or who should appear in front of him, will know.

It was really unexpected to see Xiahou today, but the similarities between the two of them made it hard to ignore.

Mu Ting actually wanted to ask, what should he be called Xia Mingxi? Uncle?

"You are alive and look so well. She should be very happy. When I find a time to take you to see her, maybe the illness will be cured."

"She has been thinking about you, she just thought you were dead, otherwise she would never turn a blind eye to you."

As soon as Xia Mingxi's words came out, all of Mu Ting's guesses were confirmed.

Mu Ting was a little sad, the person who was missed was not him, and the child who should be retrieved was no longer there.

Whether it was a misunderstanding or something else, it was a step too late.

Mu Ting didn't know if the original owner of this body would blame his mother, so he couldn't answer for him.

Mu Ting rejected Xia Mingxi's proposal and said, "All depends on the emperor's arrangement. Meeting Xia Hou today is really an accident, and it will inevitably affect the emperor's plan. Let's leave as if we haven't seen each other today."

Mu Ting saluted, turned around and left, and didn't look back until he got into the carriage.

Xia Mingxi looked at the carriage that was drifting away, and sighed insignificantly, making a fool of himself.

Those people with ulterior motives really deserve to die!

On that day, he will definitely solve that bastard with his own hands.

That person owed them the Xia family, and the debt owed to the Chu family would not be enough to repay even a thousand cuts.

With hostility in Xia Mingxi's eyes, he stayed outside Taixue for a long time before turning around and leaving. He had escaped for too long, and the debt he owed back then should be paid back.

On the other side, Mu Ting has been silent since he got in the carriage, and he didn't say a word until he got back to Qi's house, and locked himself in the house when he got back.

I just feel stuffy and uncomfortable, but my head is empty and I don't think about anything, so I can't get up.

In the middle, Bai Ling and Nanny Zhang knocked on the door in turn to serve him tea and food. They kept thinking that when Qi Zhan came back in the afternoon, they immediately told Qi Zhan and asked Qi Zhan to persuade him.

Qi Zhan sat next to Mu Ting worriedly, "What's wrong with you, Ting Ting, is there something uncomfortable?"

He reached out and touched Mu Ting's forehead, and found that he didn't have a fever, but Mu Ting was sick, and he could tell something was wrong at a glance.

Mu Ting shook his head, "I'm not uncomfortable, I just thought of something and felt sad."

Qi Zhan asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

Mu Ting looked at him sideways, seeing Qi Zhan's serious face, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, "I said many times, Mu Ting is dead, do you remember?"

Qi Zhan nodded, "I remember."

"I'm Mu Ting, and I'm not Mu Ting. You can understand that my body has lived in two people. The previous owner is gone, and then I have me."

"I met you, right?" Qi Zhan asked.

"Yes," Mu Ting said, "I was the one you knew from the beginning to the end. He died in the Duke Mu's mansion, and was poisoned to death by the bowl of poisonous chicken soup that Mu Qiu sent, and then I came. "

Although he knew it shouldn't be, Qi Zhan was still very grateful. He hugged Mu Ting, "It's just you."

Mu Ting continued, "I met Xiahou Xia Mingxi today, and he told me that Mu Ting is the child of the Queen Mother who died at birth."

"But I'm not him. Although I found my parents, but I don't know the right person. I feel sorry and feel sorry for him."

If the original Mu Ting is still alive, mother and son recognize each other, and find his real relatives, they should be very happy.

It's just too late.

The original Mu Ting was also very good, he never did anything bad, and he was a young man who lived recklessly and brightly, so he shouldn't just disappear like this.

"Tingting, did you die before you came here? Then, would this Mu Ting also go to your place? You just changed places and became each other."

"Then he must be living a good life. You are all good people, and it is also a good fate that made you become him, and God will make him yours."

"Then you have me, and he will have someone who loves him."

This is the most beautiful wish. Mu Ting reached out and stroked Qi Zhan's hair. He said, "If you are such a kind-hearted person, it will definitely come true."

Although it is a pity, he hopes that another Mutin will live well in his world.

Mu Ting kissed Qi Zhan, "It must be the most special fate that made me meet you."
