Food for the people

As soon as the two of them went out, the people watching the excitement outside suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.

But even though the people are far away, the eyes are still firmly glued to this side, looking at the backs of the two walking away, they continue to whisper to each other.

"Hey, did you see what happened at the Chongyang Noodle Restaurant just now?"

"It's late, I watched halfway, only to see that the owner of the noodle shop seems to have been dragged to the Yamen, why is it, the two people in the noodle shop have very nasty faces, what is the origin?"

"I don't know that man in purple. Isn't the guy in blue the one who sells noodles on the West Street these two days? The guy from my family bought a bowl of noodles from him in the morning. It must be that the business is too good, so it's a hindrance." It must be something about Zhao Chongyang. But I don't know what it is about. Zhao Chongyang is used to being domineering. This time, he probably kicked the iron plate, and the ruffian Cheng San who was dragged away behind him. Did you see that face? , was beaten until it was swollen into a pig's head."

"Bah! It deserves it, well played, some bully hooligans, it should have been like this a long time ago."

The scarred man Cheng San doesn't have a good name in West Street on weekdays, relying on his height and strength, he often does some rascal things in West Street. There is no man who is in charge of the house, he comes to harass and bully every now and then, which makes people miserable.

While talking, Wan Niang also came out of her shop, "I didn't bother to go out to watch the excitement just now, what are you all watching around?"

As soon as she asked, someone naturally told her what had happened, and when Wanniang heard it, she immediately clapped her hands and applauded.

"Zhao Chongyang and Cheng San are not good people. That little brother has eliminated the evils of West Street. No matter what his background is, he is a first-class good person with me. If that little brother comes again tomorrow, I will still buy it." his face."

Wanniang has been a widow for many years, and has survived alone with a child to this day. She has been harassed by these local hooligans a lot, but she is pungent and a master who is not easy to mess with, so she didn't suffer much, but it doesn't mean that she didn't suffer. Not being offended, she longed for someone who had the ability to teach these people a lesson. Now that she heard such news, of course she only had reason to applaud.

When everyone heard what Wanniang said, they all echoed, "Wanniang is right, if that little brother comes again tomorrow, I will give him a pack of sugar cakes for nothing."

"Then I'll give him a pot of vinegar."

Everyone laughed and discussed, and finally changed the topic and left the matter behind.

Here Qiao Yu and Lu Jincheng have gone a long way.

Now Qiao Yu was completely sure that Mr. Yan really had a lot of background. Although he didn't understand why this person came to help him out of nowhere like sending warmth, but he didn't want to help him even if they helped him. Good question.Simply relax your mind, just treat him as an ordinary person, and let his family be poor and empty, and ask yourself that there is nothing for this powerful young master to worry about.

"Mr. Yan, is there anything you want to eat? But let me say first that I may not know it. If I don't, please don't be angry, Mr. Yan." Qiao Yu turned his head and said.

Lu Jincheng had been secretly observing Qiao Yu's attitude along the way, and found that he was not at all curious about his identity. He was neither frightened nor servile, as if he really regarded him as an ordinary friend.

He was in a good mood, and his affection for Qiao Yu increased a bit, and his tone became light and light: "Since you invited me, then of course you are the host. I will eat whatever you do. Don't worry, I won't pick anything."

Qiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and the two went home together.

Qiao Ling was moving the dried noodles in the yard to the house, when he heard Qiao Yu came back, he happily came to the door to pick him up, but when he saw Lu Jincheng following behind, he was slightly taken aback, but he understood The polite person didn't ask any more questions, but went to the stove to boil a pot of water to make tea for the guests.

Qiao Yu led them to the main room to sit down, and carefully put a brazier in front of Lu Jincheng.

Although Lu Jincheng felt that he didn't fit in with this courtyard, he didn't show any disgust at all, and he didn't even show any extra curiosity. He sat upright and thanked Qiao Ling for bringing him tea. Afterwards, I lowered my eyebrows and sipped tea.

As soon as you smell this tea, you know it's not a good tea. The thick tea soup tastes less sweet than bitter, but Lu Jincheng feels that it has a special flavor, just like the owner of this tea, which makes people a little surprised.

After Qiao Yu made him sit down, he went to the yard and told Qiao Ling to go shopping. Qiao Ling took the money and went out, and then he returned to the house, intending to chat with this distinguished guest.

But he saw that the distinguished guest was putting down his teacup, staring at the blueprint he had placed on the table in a daze.

"Did you draw this?" Lu Jincheng asked.

Qiao Yu nodded: "I drew half of it, and I didn't understand something, so I put it there first."

Lu Jincheng took a closer look at the blueprint again. Although he didn't understand it very well, it looked interesting: "What is it for? I didn't understand it."

Qiao Yu didn't want to talk to him at first, because it might not be clear in a sentence or two, but when he saw him asking, he didn't hesitate any longer, and explained the shape and principle of the noodle press he was going to make. I told Lu Jincheng.

After hearing what he said, Lu Jincheng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Where do you get so many weird things in your mind, you're quite smart."

Qiao Yuxin said: This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people of the heaven/dynasty, and he did not come up with it himself, of course it is smart.

Lu Jincheng glanced at the blueprint again, and said, "What you said didn't make sense, is that so?"

After speaking, he grabbed the carbon strip by the table, Xuxu drew a few strokes on the drawing, and pushed the drawing towards Qiao Yu.

I saw that he randomly drew a few "gears" that Qiao Yu mentioned in the middle, and buckled the two gears two by two. One was connected to the handle on the outside of the machine, and the other was connected to the rollers on both sides of the machine. Qiao Yu drew it impartially based on the principle that he didn't understand at the moment.

Although the words of the gear painting are not expressive, the overall structure is exactly the same as Qiao Yu expected. Qiao Yu was overjoyed and boasted: "It's amazing, it helped me a lot, I'll go find someone later Try to see if you can do it."

Lu Jincheng smiled and said, "I do know that there is a carpenter in the city who is quite skilled. You can ask him for help."

Qiao Yu turned his head and asked, "Liu Qiaoshou?"

Lu Jincheng nodded: "You know him?"

Qiao Yu replied: "I know him, but I'm not too familiar with him. Let's forget about this person. He's too slick and powerful, so he's not a good person."

After finishing speaking, he roughly told him about his car.

After hearing this, Lu Jincheng was puzzled: "Is there such a thing? I didn't pay attention to it. I just remember that his skills are not bad."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Is your blueprint still there?"

Qiao Yu turned out the blueprint and said, "It's still there, what's wrong?"

Lu Jincheng took the drawing and looked at it for a while, then said: "This thing is pretty good. If you want to make it and sell it, I have other places for you to consider, according to the share ratio you proposed."

Qiao Yu was taken aback, and understood what he meant.

In fact, it is of no use for him to keep this blueprint in his hand. He didn't want to give it to Liu Qiao at the beginning, but he just felt that this person was not greedy enough and wanted to take advantage of it, so he didn't want to give it to him if he didn't like it.He didn't have the idea in his heart that he must use it to make money, but now that Lu Jincheng said this, he really moved his mind.

He smiled at Lu Jincheng: "Okay, if you can, then please trouble Mr. Yan."

Lu Jincheng waved his hand to prevent him from being polite, "It's not a problem, but if it does, you can treat me to dinner again."

Qiao Yu simply said: "If it becomes, you can come to eat every day."

Lu Jincheng said in his heart: This is what you said.

There was a sound of someone pushing the door outside the courtyard. Qiao Yu went out to take a look. Qiao Ling came in with a rooster covered in flowers and a crown, and asked, "Brother, do you think this will work?"

The rooster was not very big, but its flesh was solid. It was a rooster that had just grown up, and Qiao Ling was holding two wings, flapping desperately.

Qiao Yu nodded, "That's it."

Although Qiao Ling dared to catch it, he never dared to kill the chicken, so Qiao Yu asked him to go back to the kitchen to boil water for scalding the hair later, and he killed it neatly by himself by pinching the wings and holding the neck After picking up the chicken and receiving the blood, just as the water in Qiaoling was boiling, I scooped up the chicken to remove the feathers, and finally disemboweled the chicken to clean up the inside.

The rooster was chopped into evenly sized pieces, and Qiao Yu kneaded another ball of dough, planning to mix it with the chicken. After kneading, cover it with a damp cloth to allow it to ferment.

After it was done, he was about to ask Qiao Ling to light the pot, but he saw that distinguished guest from his family sitting behind the stove at some point, holding up his sleeves and adding firewood to the stove in a serious manner.

Qiao Yu: ...

Just let us do it ourselves, you really don't fit in with this kitchen, do you know that?

Qiao Yu slandered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say that, she just asked in a low voice, "Master Yan, can you make a fire?"

Lu Jincheng didn't hear clearly, he raised his head from behind the stove and said "huh?"

He did not know how to get the carbon dust on his face, and it was right on the center of his forehead, like a beauty spot. Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw his face.

Qiao Ling had just gone to the yard to gather firewood, and when he came in to see it, he couldn't help laughing, but he wasn't as courageous as Qiao Yu. Although Lu Jincheng looked amiable, Qiao Ling didn't think he was close, So seeing him like this now, he didn't dare to laugh out loud. After putting down the firewood, he quickly went to get the handkerchief, handed it to Lu Jincheng, and pointed to the center of his brow.

Qiao Yu was still laughing so hard that he couldn't stand upright, Lu Jincheng looked at him like this and didn't know what was going on, took the towel and wiped off the stains on his face, and asked, "Is it so funny? "

Only then did Qiao Yu stop laughing, and said, "Well, it's not funny, it's quite pretty."

He smiled so thoughtlessly, but the relationship between the two seemed to be getting closer. When Lu Jincheng rolled up his sleeves and asked him if there was anything else he needed to help, Qiao Yu said no in his heart, but his mouth was very Honestly said: "Young Master Yan, why don't you peel some garlic for me?"

Lu Jincheng responded, "Okay."
