The husband's son-in-law

In the end, the troublemaker knelt down and cried to make amends, and begged Gu Xiucai to forgive him, not to drag him to the court.

The onlookers were filled with righteous indignation and said they wanted to sue the officials, and they couldn’t just let it go so easily. Gu Zhaoxian helped him up, and said in a gentle voice: “You are at fault, but the person who ordered you to come to my shop to make trouble behind the scenes is the real one.” Harmful heart, you are a small person, and you are soft-spoken, I don’t want to drag you to the official today—"

Before Gu Zhao finished speaking, the troublemaker first cried bitterly and said that as long as he doesn't see the official, he can do anything.

"Don't be afraid, my family will not instruct you to harm anyone." Gu Zhao patted the other party's arm as if to comfort him, then bowed his hands to passers-by and said, "I would like to trouble everyone to be a witness to Li's shop, and I will tell the truth about what happened today. It was written that this person confirmed that it was correct and pressed his fingerprints, and this was done to prevent any accidents that would happen if the shopkeeper of Jinyu Restaurant wanted to beat him up in the future."

"If any of you are enthusiastic about justice, please leave your address, and in case you go to court in the future, you can help me to witness what happened to the Li family today." Gu Zhao smiled wryly, "We are foreigners, and I am studying in the prefecture. To make a living and to support my studies, I travel around every day. The Li family has been in the prefecture and county for less than half a year. They have no foundation. What to say, it is difficult for everyone to make a living, and I would like to thank everyone for your support for Lai Kee Luzhu."

Passers-by just watched the excitement, but when they heard that Gu Xiucai said that he wanted to leave his address and go to court for certification in the future, they all frightened. An ordinary person, there is no need to get involved.

But there were also people who were moved by Gu Xiucai's words, and their bones were hot.Boss Fang is one of them.He also came from a small place to do business. Li's small shop has no backing, just like when he first came to the prefecture to do business. "I'll do it! Gu Xiucai just write. If I'm confused about what happened today, I'll be a witness."

Boss Fang also spoke the whole story, but he was not so sincere. Even being a witness is for today's business, and he can't control the others.

Li Zhouzhou came over early with a pen and paper. After Gu Zhao finished writing, he read it aloud. He wrote so straightforwardly that everyone could understand him, so he asked the troublemaker to press his fingerprints. The troublemaker had just made a gesture of hesitation. Gu Zhao conveniently Luo took back the paper and his eyes turned cold, obviously he was going to see the official.

The troublemakers dared not hesitate when they saw it, so they hurriedly begged for a painting and pressed their fingerprints.

The boss in the middle of the crowd and two other enthusiastic people also left their addresses and names. To express their gratitude, Gu Zhao said: "Tomorrow there will be another new trick at home, and I will give it to the three of you to try it."

The three of them were immediately happy. They had left their addresses and had just had some troubles in their hearts, but now they're gone.

It's good.

The onlookers in the crowd, when they heard that there was a free gift, couldn't help regretting that they didn't take the initiative to help Li's family just now, it was just a matter of saying a few words, and who knows if they will go to see the official in the future.

After half an hour, the farce was over.

Gu Zhao said to the troublemaker: "Go back and tell the person who instigated you that my family didn't pursue it today because it was because of doing business peacefully and getting rich, but if they still use tricks in the future, let him think about it, if it was me in Gu's high school."

The troublemaker nodded hastily, and staggered away on his limp legs.

Today is one or two shocks.If you really see an official, it’s a trivial matter. After all, the troublemaker was exposed, the Li family’s business was not affected, and they got a penny for nothing—the sign has returned. No good impression.

Nowadays, if it is not for beating people to death and forcing family property, there is no way out, otherwise it is impossible for the common people to go to the government office to sue.Some local officials still have an unwritten rule that when people come to sue, they have no merit and no right or wrong, and they will always hit ten boards and five boards first, in case some trivial matters are brought to the yamen and waste time.

As a magistrate of a prefecture, settling lawsuits is a small part of the work.

In fact, many magistrates are now just fooling around with their big errands in mind. Anyway, the original body used to be like this, and so are the magistrates at the same level as him.

Don't ask for an upward adjustment. After all, the county magistrate is the seventh rank, and the local jurisdiction is the top leader. At the top, it is the state capital. Being able to jump so much and directly become the top leader of the prefecture is more likely to go to the state capital to be a deputy, or to be transferred to another place to be a deputy.

Or go to Beijing.This degree of difficulty is a bit higher, unless you have connections or money at home, you can only transfer to the capital if you have connections.

The same group of Jinshi, the first class with the top grades will definitely enter the Hanlin, and the second class exams will be selected for admission. There is also a difference between being a local official and county magistrate. The rich and poor areas in the south of the Yangtze River and the remote and poor areas, the latter are naturally poor scholars with no money and no connections.

If you don't make mistakes and don't move, this is the choice of a magistrate from a poor family.Unless it is a blessing from heaven, you have made some great achievements during your reign, such as doubling the harvest of the field.

For the feudal dynasty based on small farmers, this is a great achievement.

Gu Zhao has inquired about it, and the current Fuzun has been in Ningping Prefecture for 16 years, and has never moved his nest. It can be seen that there are no backers behind him, so why did he come here to issue a sign to the Li family when he first heard that Xiping Village had a lot of taxes? I wrapped 100 taels of silver.

Fu Zun is also excited, it is related to his future.

Today's Fu Zun must be devoted to the farmland.

Then there is human affection - it is human affection for people to be equal, but it is not human affection for the inferior to the superior. Gu Zhao understands that he is using the plaque of the mansion to intimidate one or two, but if he goes to sue the officials for disturbing this level It doesn't matter, it's really not worth it.

To sum up, it is impossible to meet an official. I hope that Jinyu Restaurant will not come here after this time.

"It's okay, clean up." Gu Zhaotong said to Zhou Zhou's father.

The three of them closed the shop to block the eyes from the outside, but they couldn't block the chatter of the neighbors next door: "Hey, I didn't expect the Li family to have a plaque presented by the lord of the house.", "I looked and looked, it is worthy of the mansion. Respect the words written by the adults, it is good."

It was Aunt Xu who was speaking, and Aunt Xu was illiterate, but she was just flattering Mr. Fu Zun.

"I really didn't expect that a farmer still has such abilities."

"You can't say that, Master Fuzun has praised the Li family, which shows that the Li family is also good."

"That's true, the method of fertilizing the field is not secretive, do you think there is really a way to double it?"

"It should be there. Didn't you see that the Lord Fu Zun gave the plaque?"

……

The troublemaker hadn't returned to the restaurant yet, but the shopkeeper had already heard the news that the incident had been revealed.Pomegranate Street is not far from Jinyu Restaurant, it takes less than two minutes to walk, and even faster to run.

The younger brother who was making trouble had been hiding in the dark corner and listening, and when he saw that something was wrong, he hurried back to ask the shopkeeper for help, saying why the Li family still had to see the official, and there was a plaque on the house, begging the shopkeeper to save his brother.

He was out of breath when he ran over, and he only spoke half a word, reversing those sentences back and forth.

When the shopkeeper heard about Mr. Fu Zun, he was immediately terrified. Why did he have a relationship with Mr. Fu Zun?There is such a big backer behind the Li family?Hearing the official again, cold sweat broke out on his forehead in fright, and he asked the troublemaker brother to speak clearly.

But the younger brother who made trouble also ran back after hearing half of it, crying and begging the shopkeeper to save his brother, but he can't see the official, Yunyun.

When the person in charge heard that the matter was serious, he turned his face and turned his back on him, saying don't talk about it casually, what does it have to do with me when your brothers go to Li's house to make trouble, even if there is any evidence to say that I instigated it.

I didn't write anything down, and if I didn't recognize what I ordered verbally, that's fine.The shopkeeper felt a little more at ease.

Now the younger brother was dumbfounded, and was kicked out by the shopkeeper called Xiaoer, hated and anxious, I don't know what my brother is like, if I had known, I wouldn't have done such evil things for the fifty cents.

Until he saw his elder brother come back in full length. Although his face was pale and his legs were limp, he seemed to have lost half his life, but at least he came back without seeing the official. The younger brother said what the shopkeeper said, "...this is He wants to use us brothers as scapegoats."

"Forget it, the restaurant is not something we can care about. If you talk too much and start a fight, and you even have to get back the money you gave, it will be a loss." The troublemaker was frightened, and now he just wanted to go home. I will never dare to accept such a thing again.

The younger brother asked Li's family why he didn't go to the police in the end.

"The Li family is good, kind-hearted, let me go this time, but I think Gu Xiucai..." The older brother said, his voice became softer.

The younger brother was also curious and asked what happened to Gu Xiucai, and the elder brother shook his head and said it was nothing, but he kept in mind that when he hesitated to swipe his fingerprints, Gu Xiucai looked at him with cold eyes. He saw the official and went to jail.

Fortunately fortunately.

That's all.

Later, the shopkeeper found out clearly, and people didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of his nose, but seeing that his eyes were not right, the shopkeeper greeted him with a thick skin and didn't care about it. He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard the whole story. relatives, just sent a plaque.

That's fine.The shopkeeper felt more at ease, and felt that the matter was not serious.

After hearing this, the owner of Jinyu Restaurant thought for a while and said: "Don't worry about it in the future, we can only make it clear about the stewed method... You can bring a gift to Li's house tomorrow to make amends, and just say that the people below are messing around. It’s good to sell the restaurant, but the restaurant is also deceived.”

These words don't need to be taught by the boss, the storekeeper understands them all.The prefecture said that big is big, but Pomegranate Street is close to the restaurant, especially Li Ji Lu Zhu is in the limelight now. Today's incident spreads, and the reputation of the restaurant will be bad. The old restaurant of more than ten years is not worth following Li Ji Lu Zhu. , bow your head when you should bow your head.

"One sentence is correct. Although Li Ji Luzhu is not a relative of the Fuzun, and has no foundation for a small business, but the Li family has raised a scholar, and this scholar is still famous in front of the Fuzun. If he really has the ability in the future, I won the move." The boss told the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately bowed his waist, and now he was scared.

It's still the boss's thoughtful thinking, doing business peacefully to make money, he didn't expect this level before.

Now I really remember, go to Li's house tomorrow to make amends, the attitude should be good.

Pomegranate Lane Li Family Yard.

While Li Zhouzhou was cooking, Gu Zhao worked in the kitchen, picked up a basin of peanuts, rinsed the soil, and handed the basin to Zhou Zhou. After Li Zhouzhou put it on the stove, the fire was small, and the flavor was cooked slowly. .

This is brine marinated peanuts for dad.

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

"I'll buy a pig's head tomorrow. It's delicious when marinated." Gu Zhao said.

Pork head meat is naturally more expensive than meat, because there is a lot of pork head meat, especially fatty ones. Now people lack oil and water in their stomachs, and they can’t eat meat all the time, so they like to eat fat, and fat is also expensive.

But after all, the pig's head is not as good as the serious pork, and the price is slightly lower.

"Actually, a single pig's ear is better." Gu Zhao said, "I don't know if I can buy it alone, or if I have to buy the whole pig's head."

Li Zhouzhou said: "Buy one first and I'll try to separate the marinade when I come back." He also explained: "The big ingredients given by Brother Zheng are cheap. There used to be a big pot in the shop, sugar, ingredients, sauce, wine, including firewood. , One pot is more than 210 Wen, and if you can sell 120 scoops, it’s [-] Wen, and you can earn [-] Wen a day. Now, that pot of ingredients is ten Wen cheaper.”

This is still the big pot of the shop, which can earn 130 Wen a day.In the morning, the stewed chicken, tofu, dried tofu and marinated eggs are a pot, and the cost is now about 70 renminbi cheaper. The pot can earn more than [-] renminbi.

The whole cost has come down to about [-] yuan, and a whole braised pig's head is also worth it. Try it first.

Another reason is that Li Zhouzhou tried braised chicken before, and it sold out every day, so he gained confidence, and since Xianggong's pig's head can be braised, it must be fine.

"My family, Zhou Zhou, is also a young math genius, and we are husband and wife." Gu Zhao teased his wife.

Li Zhouzhou smiled first, and rarely said a witty thing.

"Of course, the pretty little husband will follow me."

"Follow, follow, not only follow my family Zhou Zhou, but also stick to it." Gu Zhao wanted to be ashamed, and immediately stuck to it.

Li Zhouzhou: ...

It's still in the stove house, it's not dark, and my husband is not serious.Although Li Zhouzhou thought so, it was all just being sweet, shy and embarrassed.

Delayed by the troubles outside, it was dark after lunch. After the husband and father washed up, Li Zhouzhou picked up a bowl of peanuts that had been marinated and let them cool down, and gave them to his father. He didn't leave when he was done, and said: "Father, I have to rinse my mouth after eating peanuts at night. My husband said that if the teeth are broken, I won't be able to eat meat in the future."

"Understood." Li Da nodded in agreement.His family has been extroverted a lot every week, which is a good thing.

It was getting dark, and Li Shi was lying on the bed with one leg crossed over the other. A bowl of salted peanuts was placed on the straw mat. It was already cold, and the boiled color turned dark. , the water in one hand was bared, and I hurriedly leaned over to suck it, this smell——

Li Da was satisfied, squinting and eating peanuts.

good to eat!

The peanuts are small and chewy, and the taste is better than before, delicious and delicious.

On the other side, the little couple's room was lit with oil lamps, and Li Zhouzhou was still in class.

Small classes cannot be interrupted.

When Li Da came back, the preparations for the family were relieved and relaxed.Before dawn, Li Da got up early in the morning, took the mule cart, listened to the detailed address given by Zhou Zhou and Zhao'er, took the money, and drove the cart to the butcher shop in the west to buy meat.

There are two large wooden boxes on the mule cart.

There was no one on the street at the moment, Li Da was driving fast, and he arrived at the butcher's shop in less than half an hour.The door of the shop was not closed, so Li Da went around to the back, the mule cart in front came and went, and there were people pushing carts not far away, all of them came to pull meat, it was Li Da's turn.

Seeing the stranger, Little Six bent his waist and said, "Boss, I see that your face is born, did you order meat at my house?"

"I'm not here to buy meat, I'm here to buy offal." Li Da said.

Little Six said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to find the master, why did a stranger buy the water in advance, could it be that he wanted to steal the business from Li Fulang's family?"Said to the master in a few words.

Boss Zhu thought the same in his heart, came over to have a look, and said in a good voice: "I'm sorry, my family's Xiashui signed a contract with Li Ji Luzhuo, and they have set a one-year deal. I have to count it. I am really sorry for you. .”

Li Dacai came to his senses, and couldn't help thinking of the incident yesterday, and felt that the boss was kind-hearted, so he hurriedly said: "Boss Zhu misunderstood, I am Li Zhouzhou's father, my name is Li Da, from Xiping Village, a few days ago Back to the village..."

In detail before and after.

Boss Zhu quickly laughed and said: "Brother, we are really good." It was a misunderstanding, so he quickly asked his apprentice to carry Li Da into the water, and said: "In the past, Li Fulang and Gu Xiucai came here in exchange, and I didn't recognize him. You, this is fresh after being killed."

Xiao Liuzi was dumped into the car, so he could clearly see that the two big wooden boxes belonged to Li's family.In the past, he was the one who poured it, remember this box.

"The boss is kind, I didn't make it clear, and I didn't expect the prefecture to use all kinds of tricks for this business." Li Da paid the money and said, "Do you have a pig's head? Buy another pig's head and try it out today. "

"There are pig heads, forty yuan apiece." After Boss Zhu quoted the price, seeing that Li Da hadn't said a word, he asked the little apprentice to choose, "Get a bigger one."

"Okay master."

Little Six picked the biggest one and carried it into the car.

Li Daran acknowledged his gratitude, thanked him in a hurry, and gave the money. When he touched the wallet, he found the pocket that Zhou Zhou sewed for him. There was a bag of peanuts in it, which was the one he cooked yesterday.

It's not bad, it tastes good.

Li Da is a farmer, so he passed a bag of peanuts and said, "My family Zhou Zhou cooked it last night. It's delicious. Boss and junior, try it."

"It's done." Boss Zhu took the bag.

When Li Da was gone, Little Six also said, "This is the first time I've seen someone give you peanuts, Master."

"It must be rare for people to carry it with them. It is sincere to give it to you, no matter how expensive it is." Boss Zhu taught his disciples the truth. No matter how big he is in business, in the eyes of some people, he is humble Dealing with stinky pigs, he talked well on the face of Boss Zhu, and turned his back and pinched his nose and thought he was smelly.

"Both Li's father and son are honest people."

After Boss Zhu finished speaking, he took out a peanut and gave it to the apprentice, he squeezed one and put it in his mouth, after tasting it, he regretted that the apprentice caught too much—come here.

Little Six was nibbling on the peanuts, his eyes lit up, "Master is delicious, you are right, this is rare, you can't say it based on high or low."

……never mind.Boss Zhu was covering his peanut bag.

Li Da drove the car back, and the shops on the street were opened, and the stalls were set up, and the sound of shouting, the smell of soy milk, and the steaming steam of steamed stuffed buns made it lively all of a sudden.

The door of Li's courtyard is wide open, and the threshold has already been taken.

Li Da drove the mule cart straight in. Gu Zhao heard the movement and came out to unload the goods. Dad left too early in the morning, probably around 05:30?Anyway this will come back less than eight o'clock.

"Father, you've worked hard." Gu Zhao moved the pig's head down, and Li Da said, "The [-] cents a piece is still expensive. In the past, we could kill the pig for [-] yuan and get it."

"Prefectures and counties are expensive." Gu Zhao said, trying to weigh how many catties.

Li Da was watching and said, "Did it come out?"

"It's about ten catties, right?" It's hard to get him!Panacea's answer.

Li Da said affirmatively, "This is big, sixteen catties."

"Father is really good." Gu Zhao flattered his father and said: "A catty of fat and lean meat costs eleven yuan, and the sixteen catties of pig head meat sells for forty yuan, and we can make more money, and braised pork has no fancy braised pig head There are a lot of pork and pig ears, after marinating, let it cool, and slice it to make cold dishes, it is delicious, and it is also delicious to eat alone."

"There are also braised pig's trotters."

Li Da said, "Then I'll ask how the pig's trotters are sold tomorrow."

"Father, I see that our family has enough stalls now. If there are more, I'm afraid you and Zhou Zhou will not be able to bear the hard work. We will trade for a long time."

Li Da knew that Zhao'er felt sorry for Zhou Zhou, so he didn't mention it, and asked, "Where's Zhou Zhou?"

Just as he was talking, Li Zhouzhou came back with a live chicken and a basket with eggs and tofu in it. Gu Zhao went to pick it up, but Li Zhouzhou said no, and asked his husband not to touch it.

"Not sinking, dad is back? In the morning, my husband bought breakfast and put it in the main room."

Li Da said, "It's done, I'll eat after I wash my hands."

Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhao had already eaten, and now Li Zhouzhou will kill the chicken and not let the lord do it, saying that the lord is afraid of this - Gu Zhao remembered the excuse before, so he could only admit it, and obediently go to the stove house like a little green tea Boiling hot water, washing tofu and other trivial tasks.

After Li Da finished his breakfast, he took over Gu Zhao's work.Li Zhouzhou also said: "Sister, you should go to the books, and I will come here with my father."

Don't mention it, Xianggong is always busy reading books when he comes back from the agricultural holiday.

Gu Zhaojian was really busy, and You Qi's father thought he was slow at work, so he drove him away.

"Use any kind of flour to wash, and burnt plant ashes can wash the large intestine." Li Da went to touch under the stove, then turned to his son and said, "You just listen to him and follow him."

Li Zhouzhou said: "It's not much use for Mr. Xianggong, the flour is also clean."

"It's also fortunate that Zhao'er has a good disposition, if a bad one, you can still go along with it?"

"It's bad, I'm not going well, and I'm not stupid."

This Li Daxin.

The father and son didn't chat much, and they were busy working, unlike in the past when Gu Zhao had to talk to Zhou Zhou every time he did a job. Although he didn't stop working, he couldn't compare to Li Dalai, a veteran butcher of pigs.

After finishing it in two or three strokes, the chicken, tofu and dried tofu are still marinated in the pot of the stove house.The disassembled pig's head was put on the big stove in front of the stew.

The two pots are on the pot, just go to see it from time to time and add a handful of firewood.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Da started to handle the water without his son's help.Li Zhouzhou was able to cook lunch, and it was early for dinner.

Gu Zhao had his lunch at about eleven o'clock, and it was stewed rice, which was served with marinated chicken offal, eggs and meat. It is a lively green vegetable leaf that is common in Dali folk.

It is delicious with cold dishes.

In the morning, people from villages outside the city carrying poles on Pomegranate Street sell it.

A pot of white rice.

In order to save time and convenience, after all, I relied on my legs to buy water in the morning, and every time I ate at noon, it was almost twelve o'clock, and I ate noodles, so I made do with it.This rice is served with three dishes.

Seeing this, Gu Zhao turned to his father and said, "Father, it's good to have you back!"

Li Zhouzhou heard what he meant, and pursed his lips into a smile.Li Da thought about it for a while before he realized what was going on, "Look at your future, it's done, let's eat." The children rely on their father, Li Da is very happy.

The children can count on relying on their father, which shows that he is still useful.Before, Li Da thought that he could only farm and butcher pigs. If he could not find a living in the prefecture, it would be a hindrance to the children and would be of no use. Now he is happy.

After a good time, I ate three bowls of rice at noon.

Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhao got two bowls, Gu Zhao got one and a half bowls to be precise, and the extra half was given to his family Zhou Zhou.

The rice is really delicious, the stewed chicken at noon is also delicious, and even the cold green vegetables are delicious!

There was plenty of time, and they were not in a hurry to eat, but the Li family was not used to eating slowly, and they finished eating in less than two minutes. Li Zhouzhou cleaned up and washed the dishes, and Li Da went to the front to fill the marinated pig's head, put it in a wooden basin and covered it with gauze Put it on the case to dry.

Zhao'er said that it tastes good when it's cold, but it's a little greasy when it's hot.

Then let it dry, and sell it with stewed soup in the afternoon.

Then the big stove of the shop started to be marinated, and the shop opened at noon, selling marinated chicken and issuing wooden signs.Since yesterday's trouble was over, the news about the plaque on the wall of Li's shop as a gift from the government has spread, it is no problem to deter ordinary people, and they are not afraid of using the plaque to fake it later.

Therefore, the brand was issued as usual, and it was still issued to 15 people.

Braised pig's head is in trial operation today, so we won't issue a brand for now.

Boss Fang didn’t buy stewed chicken this time, he just wanted a bowl of tofu and stewed eggs, and took it back to his old mother for bibimbap. He had eaten stewed chicken for a few days, and today he wanted to change the taste and eat stewed water, so he came to pick up the brand by the way.

"Is the stove in the shop so hot this morning? The smell of queuing is wafting out, it smells good." Boss Fang settled the bill.

Li Zhouzhou said with a smile: "My father is back, and the family is busy now."

Boss Fang thought of the strong man yesterday, and wanted to say that it would be good to have a man in the shop, but when he saw the plaque hanging on the back, it was better to have this thing than a man, so he smiled and said he would come back in the afternoon, and then left.I didn't ask what new tricks Gu Xiucai said to give yesterday, anyway, Gu Xiucai didn't lie about what he said, so what's the hurry.

Although there are few people who buy stewed chicken, it seems that servants come to buy them. There are also some like Boss Fang, who have nothing to do when they open the shop, let the shopkeepers guard the shop, and go out for a walk to buy it on the way.

The brand is issued quickly, and the multi-braised chicken is sold out in about a moment.Li Zhouzhou was tidying up when Zhang's sister-in-law Zhang, who sells vinegar in front of the shop, said, "The shopkeeper of Jinyu Restaurant has brought someone here, so hurry up and ask your talented gentleman to come out."

Li Da has done a good job, and his words are the same as Zhou Zhou of his family. He is annoyed when he hears it. It is clear that the other party is here to make trouble. Now he dares to come to the door. If he is in the village, he will do it. Er still wanted to study for the imperial examination, so he endured this and asked Zhou Zhou to call Zhaoer.

Gu Zhao saw that Zhou Zhou looked flustered, so he said first, "Calm down and don't be afraid, what's the matter?"

"The shopkeeper of Jinyu Restaurant brought someone here, Mrs. Zhang said." Li Zhouzhou fell silent all of a sudden.

Gu Zhao got up, "Go out and have a look, don't be afraid, even if his family wants to be tough, they shouldn't pick today's opportunity, yesterday it was obvious that his house was wrong, so many people watched, it is impossible to bring people to smash the shop again , unless the owner of Jinyu Restaurant belongs to Fu Zun, but this is also impossible."

If it is really the property of Fu Zun, then it will not use petty tricks, use power and money to suppress it, and using both soft and hard methods will not cause trouble faster than that.

The rule of the Dali Dynasty: Officials do not make profits with the people.It means that once you become an official, you can’t do business and make money. Violators are more serious and will be dismissed from office.

Can exploit loopholes.

Generally, it is the wife and uncle's family who do business and send money to officials.If the wife's family also has a good official career, then there is another thing, hanging on the head of the housekeeper, house servant, or trusted subordinate. Anyway, the official has power, so the servant who begs for food dares to turn against you?

First of all, you can be charged with whatever crime you want, and your whole family can be punished, so you can't say it.

This kind of situation abounds, as long as it does not develop into Shen Wansan's scale of wealth, the superiors will turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and the officials will protect each other-everyone does this.

I have never heard of any adult being dismissed from office because of this name. If there is, it is because of something else that cannot be publicized.

Gu Zhao talked about science with Zhou Zhou as he walked.Li Zhouzhou didn't expect that there are so many ways in it.

When the two of them arrived at the shop, they saw that their father was already 'flashing with anger', but the shopkeeper outside the shop was bowing his waist and laughing. Gu Zhao knew at a glance that the other party was not here to find trouble, but to give in, so he smiled too. Go forward and listen to what kind of tricks the shopkeeper is farting.

"This is Gu Xiucai? He looks really talented, and he will become a great talent in the future." The shopkeeper first smiled and chatted.

Gu Zhao clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Praise, who is your Excellency?"

The shopkeeper dared not bear such a title, lowered his waist a little, and said with an apologetic smile: "Gu Xiucai was joking, I am old Xu, a commoner, and I have an errand in Jinyu Restaurant. Everyone calls me shopkeeper Xu."

Gu Zhao's smile faded a little, "Jinyu Restaurant."

Shopkeeper Xu continued to apologize and didn't come forward, so he stood outside the shop, with a full posture and a low posture, and said: "I also heard about what happened yesterday. I really didn't order it. Those two bastards wanted to come here." Working in a restaurant, I heard that the hands and feet of these two people were not clean, so I refused, but I didn’t explain clearly, I was afraid that they would misunderstand, and they would like to use some stewed method to bribe me to buy it.”

"Gu Xiucai must believe me. I have been the shopkeeper of Jinyu Restaurant for 12 years. Jinyu Restaurant has been open for so many years. Where did our family do such a nasty thing? If you don't believe me, I will swear to the sky!"

Many people gathered around the shop outside to watch the excitement.

After hearing this, Gu Zhao understood that shopkeeper Xu is here to build his reputation. If the person apologizing today is good-looking and has a good excuse, if you don't show face, it will be the high ground of public opinion holding you back.

Passers-by will think: People say it was a misunderstanding, and they swear to their parents that they have never done it and they will compensate you for a misunderstanding, and you still hold on to it, which is unreasonable.It's all done by dirty villains. You can't believe all the one-sided words yesterday.

Niu ah.Sure enough, he was the shopkeeper.

Gu Zhao stepped forward and said, "How dare shopkeeper Xu swear on the lives of the whole family. If some gods and Buddhas have misunderstood this, miss a word, misunderstand, it would be really bad to be arrested."

Shopkeeper Xu's eyelids twitched, this scholar scolded him to kill the whole family.

Gu Zhao paused, and explained with a kind smile: "Yesterday, someone made a disturbance, saying that it was instigated by the Jinyu Restaurant. The person who made the disturbance was talking empty words, and there was no two-party verification. It's just that my family has a shallow foundation. If you don't ask to understand, it's true. , then my family’s business will not be safe in the future.”

"Today someone used this villainous means to deal with my family. If he wins, he will keep it and deal with other families in the future. The whole street is a small business. It's fine, but if other businesses are ruined, what will they do if they spend too much money?" Gu Zhao raised his hands to the sky when he mentioned the Holy One.

When shopkeeper Xu saw Gu Xiucai bowing his hands to the sky, his knees were soft, and he didn't know whether he was kneeling or what. He imitated Gu Xiucai's salute and looked up to the sky, but he was trembling in his heart. Why did he move out of the holy place?

This Gu Xiucai is really not ordinary, he is difficult to deal with, the boss is right, he should not have messed with him if he had known earlier.

"The shopkeeper Xu explained it, so I believed it. They are all in business. My family treats each other honestly. I think you are not bad." Gu Zhao said with a smile, "Isn't it?"

Shopkeeper Xu wiped off his sweat, "Yes, yes, what Gu Xiucai said is true."

"As for the gift that shopkeeper Xu took, my family will not accept it. Since it was a misunderstanding, our family is not a family who used yesterday's incident to blackmail someone for gifts and money. Just say it." Gu Zhao blocked shopkeeper Xu Words for gift giving.

Hands are short, even if you take it, you can't stop short of breath.

He stood upright and accepted the gift.

Shopkeeper Xu was about to let Xiao Er, who was holding a gift behind him, come up, and said the gift of compensation, he read the gift loudly, so that everyone could see what they had lost, but before he could open his mouth, Gu Xiucai stopped him, A face is full of suffocation, but you can't really not give it away.

If people say no, you just go back, and it would be a joke if you make a low profile.

The Li family's reputation has improved a bit.

Shopkeeper Xu now understands that Gu Xiucai's young stomach is full of twists and turns, and she can't hold on to her identity.

So he laughed softly and said: "Gu Xiucai is right, it makes sense, how can he threaten us to give gifts, I thought about it, it might have something to do with telling me." As he spoke, he twitched his mouth.

Naturally, Gu Zhao said what shopkeeper Xu was doing, and I knew it wasn't your business.

"Gu Xiucai, you don't know. I just remembered that our braised stew tastes good. I even sent the waiter in the store to buy it and taste it. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I said right after I ate it, it's amazing." Xu Xu The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up and praised, and said: "I don't want to hide it, I really thought about how to cook it. I just make a living in a restaurant. When I come across something delicious and rare, I want to think about it. .”

"I didn't figure it out, and then I thought about it, and bought it if I wanted to eat it. Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to get close. How could I know that I sighed and said that stewed food is delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat it. The two troublemakers heard about it, and only then did they have the next episode."

Language processing is the lesser of two evils.Shopkeeper Xu is also a personal sperm.

Shopkeeper Xu is absolutely right, with a sincere face, "In the end, it's my fault, I'll apologize to Li's shop, these gifts are just a heartfelt gift, please keep it, if you don't accept it, I won't be able to go back to sleep and eat in peace of."

After finishing speaking, it was written all over his face: I beg you to close it quickly.

"It shouldn't be accepted—" Gu Zhao pulled out his voice.

As soon as Shopkeeper Xu relaxed his mind, he thought that "shouldn't have been accepted" was what he had to accept. Before he could completely relax, he heard Gu Xiucai's drawn out voice, so he adjusted his mind accordingly.

"If your gift is stuffed with silver, if there is any expensive price, then my family will never accept it." Gu Zhao's voice was a little higher, "It was a misunderstanding, and you made a mistake in one sentence, so how can you pay for such an expensive gift. "

Shopkeeper Xu immediately gritted his teeth and said: "What expensive gifts, there are none, the little old man represents the restaurant's heart, they are all some cakes and fruits, all of which are not worth much." Once the Li family accepts it, no one else will be able to talk about it in the restaurant.

After two more evasions, Gu Zhao could only 'reluctantly' accept it.

Everyone was happy about this. When shopkeeper Xu walked away, his steps were sloppy, wiping cold sweat. Gu Zhao watched shopkeeper Xu's back from behind, and could talk nonsense: "Shopkeeper Xu's mind has changed, and he walks briskly and happily."

At first glance, everyone felt that it was lighter to apologize and get the forgiveness of the Li family after doing something bad.

Shopkeeper Xu: ...

I don't want to deal with the Li family's shop anymore, in the future there will only be good and bad.

The fun is gone.

After closing the shop, Li Da and Li Zhouzhou father and son went back with snacks and candy gifts, they still had complex faces. Li Zhouzhou complex is a gold and jade restaurant, and seeing his husband is admiration, Li Da once again thought to himself, this scholar My brain and stomach don't know what to pretend.

"It turns out that this is the case, so shopkeeper Xu is pitiful and just say a word." Li Zhouzhou put some snacks on the table in the main room and said.

Gu Zhao: ... His family Zhou Zhou really believed it!

Silly and sweet wife.
