Go back to ancient times and marry a widow
Chapter 55 Sour Vinegar
On the second day, Qi Wensheng went to the Baochang's house first, and told the Baochang about the things that Er Niu had inquired about, and his plan to report to the Pingqing County Yamen.
The Baochang also had doubts about Zheng Dagui, but he didn't expect Qi Wensheng to have such an idea, and he knew that he would report to the official after he had inquired clearly. He was more and more impressed with Qi Wensheng.
"Do you think that person...could it be Zheng Dagui..." The chief guarantor stopped talking, and this was the most thought-provoking question.
However, Qi Wensheng had already finished thinking deeply before, but he shook his head slightly, and replied: "It's not easy to say."
Bao Zhang didn't speak, and unconsciously tapped the table with his right index finger, Qi Wensheng knew that he agreed with what he said.
It is true that this question is not easy to answer. Qi Wensheng believes that this is also the key to whether Zheng Dagui can be completely solved, that is-whether Zheng Dagui killed someone or not.
From the words that Erniu brought back yesterday, Qi Wensheng and Qiuxi analyzed until midnight in the evening, and they all felt that it was unlikely that Zheng Dagui would take the initiative to kill someone.It should be that Zheng Dagui and Wang Changshan really met the bandit. Wang Changshan let the bandit slashed twice to death, but Zheng Dagui hid for some reason.
If he was really lucky and didn't let the bandits kill him, then in this case, who wouldn't rush to report to the police or run back home.
Looking at Zheng Dagui again, he came back after such a long time. Not only did he become fat, but he also used rich medicine to remove scars on his face.Combined with what Er Niu said that Wang Changshan was really dead, Qi Wensheng easily deduced that Zheng Dagui either became an accomplice of bandits, or followed bandits to make money.Of course, what he said before about cooking for bandits was pure fart in Qi Wensheng's view.
As for why Zheng Dagui ran back in despair now, it must be because he was exposed outside, so isn't it a good time to report to the official?
Baochang pondered for a while, he thought about the same as Qi Wensheng, and he also felt that Zheng Dagui's matter could not be delayed any longer.
"The journey to Pingqing County is not far away. Can you do it alone? How about I go with you?" The security chief asked Qi Wensheng. In fact, he should be the one to take charge of this matter. Qi Wensheng is his villager. The son asked the villagers to go ahead, but if he went, he would not worry about the village.
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Qi Wensheng thought that he was not an ordinary villager, so he wouldn't be so frightened that he couldn't speak after seeing the county magistrate.Moreover, he has been walking for several days, and he is still worried about his family. He can be more at ease with the head of the village in charge.
"Well." Knowing Qi Wensheng's worry, the chief security officer said, "I will pay more attention to your house, so don't worry."
With Bao Chang's words, Qi Wensheng became more at ease.Afterwards, the security chief told Qi Wensheng about a person who lived in Donglin Town, who would go to Pingqing County every fifth day to deliver wine. Just find him and take it with you.
Qi Wensheng agreed, originally he planned to hire a carriage from the town to go to Pingqing County, which would save him a lot of trouble.
The Baochang said all the instructions again, and seeing Qi Wensheng sitting there upright, calm and listening carefully, he also had a feeling that he was very relieved that Qi Wensheng was going to do important things.
When Qi Wensheng came out from Baochang's house, he met Wen Jin and Taohua returning with two baskets of vegetables.
"Uncle Wen." Qi Wensheng greeted Wen Jin, thinking they were actually the same age.
"En." Wen Jin nodded slightly. He had heard a lot about Qi Wensheng's ability before, so he couldn't help but look at Qi Wensheng carefully.
Qi Wensheng yelled "Peach Blossom" again, this time Peach Blossom didn't give him any shame, but just looked at him with complicated eyes.
Rival in love, understandable, Qi Wensheng said in his heart.
As for Wen Jin, Qi Wensheng felt a little cold and arrogant, and he was very bookish. I heard that he taught the children in the village for free, so he must be a good person.
Taohua wanted to ask Qi Wensheng, why are you here, but Wen Jin didn't like her being rude, so Taohua held back his annoyance towards Qi Wensheng.
Qi Wensheng staggered away from Wen Jin and Taohua, just as he was about to pass them, this time he glanced at the bamboo basket carried by Taohua, and suddenly he stopped.
"Is this the little pumpkin you planted?"
"What little pumpkin? It's called sweet cucumber." Taohua frowned again as she spoke. Why was Qi Wensheng so happy when he saw her family's sweet cucumber?
"Sweet cucumber?" Qi Wensheng looked at the bamboo basket again, there were a few small green-skinned pumpkins, thinking that they might be called this name here, Qi Wensheng asked Taohua again: "Can you sell me a few? "
As soon as Taohua said "no", Wen Jin said: "If you want, just take a few. I still have a lot in my field."
Hearing Wen Jin say that his family still has a lot of land, Qi Wensheng's eyes lit up, "Then thank you, Uncle Wen."
Taohua reluctantly took three sweet cucumbers for Qi Wensheng, and seeing Qi Wensheng happily walking with the melons in his back, Taohua was so angry that she whispered "I'm really worthless".
After hearing this, Wen Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "Didn't they give you back three steamed cakes back then? Who said that steamed cakes are not delicious, they are even better than Qinglianzhai's honey cakes?"
"I...I was just kidding, who cares about his steamed cakes." After Taohua finished speaking, she ran into the courtyard, but what she thought was that if it wasn't for the steamed cakes sold by Qi Wensheng, she would have been there by now. Go buy and eat.
Wen Jin sighed lightly, of course he knew why Tao Hua, who was usually kind to others, had such a bad attitude towards Qi Wensheng.I think he is not Taohua's biological mother after all, and there are some things that he is not easy to say. Now that the situation is like this, Taohua has to let Taohua slowly let go of it in his heart.
Wen Jin looked at Qi Wensheng who had gone away again. He didn't have much impression of what Qi Wensheng was like in the past.But looking at the current Qi Wensheng, Wen Jin thinks that he looks like a young talent.
Qi Wensheng didn't know that he had already been highly praised by Wen Jin.I saw him carrying three sweet cucumbers on one of his bent arms, happily walking home. I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains in going to Baochang this time.
When Qiuxi saw Qi Wensheng came back, the first thing he said was: "Sweet cucumber?" That looks more joyful than Qi Wensheng just now.
"You know?" Qi Wensheng handed the melon to Qiuxi. He thought about it on the way back just now. He had never seen this kind of vegetable in anyone's field.
"I know." Qiuxi thought that Qi Wensheng didn't know this, and explained to him seriously: "This sweet cucumber is delicious. Although the outer skin is green, the inner flesh is yellow. Dig it out, then cut it into pieces and steam it, it tastes sweet."
When Qi Wensheng saw Qiuxi say "It's so sweet", his eyes were crooked, and the dimples on his face appeared. He didn't care whether the sweet cucumber was delicious or not. What he cared most about was——
"Who gave it to you?"
"Peach Blossoms." Qiuxi didn't notice, he put the sweet cucumbers on the window sill outside the kitchen, and continued: "When I sent firewood to the Baozhang's house before, Peach Blossoms gave me a few, But I didn't ask her for any more money."
As soon as Qiuxi finished speaking, Qi Wensheng suddenly hugged her from behind, and then heard Qi Wensheng ask him: "You also told Taohua like this, is the melon sweet?"
Qiu Xi was a little stunned, "What...it looks like?" Why did he feel that Qi Wensheng's words seemed to be a little weird...
"That's how it is." Qi Wensheng poked Qiu Xi's face with his finger, looked at the little pit he poked out, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "You look so beautiful."
"Ah?" Qiu Xixin said, when did he and Tao Hua become so beautiful?But he seemed to smell... sour vinegar.
Seeing Qiu Xi burst out laughing, Qi Wensheng took a bite this time, the little dimple that he loved most, and then lightly poked it with the tip of his tongue instead.
The itchy Qiuxi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to make a loud noise, Liu Shi and Dou'er were still staying in the room.
Later, Qi Wensheng asked Qiuxi to promise him that he would not just smile at others casually in the future, Qiuxi smiled and agreed, and the smell of sour vinegar in the air slowly dissipated.
In fact, the sweet cucumber that Qi Wensheng brought back is quite similar to the small pumpkin in the real world. I heard from Qiuxi that only Baochang's family grows this kind of vegetable in the village, and it is still in his backyard.
It was Taohua who told Qiuxi again that the seeds of this sweet cucumber were brought back by Wen Jin's eldest brother from the foreign fan.It's just that the soil here is not good for growing sweet cucumbers, and Wen Jin planted them after several years of groping.
Qiuxi and the others only know how to eat it by steaming it, but Qi Wensheng uses it for other purposes.He used to boil red currants into jam, and the steamed cake he made was very popular, but now the season of red currants is about to go down, and he doesn't have good conditions for storing jam.
Recently, Qi Wensheng was thinking about what new product to change, and this sweet cucumber just appeared. He has made many kinds of pastries with pumpkin before.
But that night, Qiu Xi used his method to steam all three sweet cucumbers, and while Mrs. Liu was not paying attention, he picked up one and handed it to Qi Wensheng's mouth.
Looking at Qiu Xi's expression, "Try it soon, it's really delicious", Qi Wensheng dared to say anything to spoil the fun.
So under Qiuxi's expectant eyes, Qi Wensheng ate the sweet cucumber he fed.
"Well, it's really sweet." Qi Wensheng showed very well that it was the first time he had eaten this sweet cucumber, but he was a little anxious thinking, what excuse could he use to ask Wen Jin for more? What about a sweet cucumber?
Even if it was his precious Qiu Xi, it would be nice to leave him one and let him practice his hands first.
The Baochang also had doubts about Zheng Dagui, but he didn't expect Qi Wensheng to have such an idea, and he knew that he would report to the official after he had inquired clearly. He was more and more impressed with Qi Wensheng.
"Do you think that person...could it be Zheng Dagui..." The chief guarantor stopped talking, and this was the most thought-provoking question.
