Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 799 Solicitation

A few days later, the county government was promoted to the hall, and many people stood outside to watch. The ones who are going to be interrogated today are those few gangsters from the previous few days.

It's just that after the three people were taken to court, they all had bruised noses and swollen faces. It must be that after Master Liu brought them back, he didn't hand them over to the county government immediately, but had a serious exchange.

"Are you guilty?"

Saying that, the magistrate of the county slapped the gavel heavily on the table, and then shouted loudly.

"Caomin plead guilty! Caomin should never beat children in the street, let alone steal children's things, nor should they bully men and women to rob other people's things."

"That's it?" The county magistrate sneered.

And those three gangsters didn't even dare to raise their heads at the moment, because it was a crime to look directly at the county magistrate in the courtroom.

If people want to pursue it, the [-]th board will definitely be punished.

It's just that when the county magistrate asked someone to ask them when they were temporarily in prison, they were only asked about what happened this time.

"My lord, we already know we were wrong, and we plead guilty!"

But the county magistrate didn't care what they said, because Mr. Liu had already told them not to let these people have a better life. If they just robbed children and bullied Meng Ping's family, they wouldn't be locked up for long.

That noodle man is worth a hundred cash even if he is full of punches, which is not a felony at all.

"What you said just now is something that happened recently. What evils have you done in the past and you haven't committed them honestly. Are you going to wait for the official to punish you?"

But those gangsters didn't want to tell the past at all. After hearing this, they just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Chen Nian looked at the expression of the magistrate, and then at these gangsters, thinking that they had offended the wrong person this time, if they only offended some ordinary people, maybe this would be the end of the matter.

But this time they offended Master Liu, the Liu family was just such a single seedling, although there would be bumps and bumps when playing with Xiao Fugui and other children outside, but it was Young Master Liu himself who was naughty.

But if others wanted to touch his son, it would not be so easy.

The last person who kidnapped Liu Song has now been dispatched to Lingnan, whether he can live to the end of the distribution period is still a matter of debate.

Although this is not as serious as that of Wang Xiaoer last time, Master Liu will never spare them lightly.

Seeing that the three people were so stubborn, the county magistrate immediately asked the yamen servant to pull up the torture tools.

The big boards, splints, and tiger benches took turns serving them. After two quarters of an hour, these gangsters finally couldn't handle the tricks, and they truthfully committed all the crimes they had committed in the past, such as beating people, robbing women, and stealing property.

The chief bookkeeper of the county yamen was also writing down these crimes in a scribble. Later, he had to sort them out, formulate the punishment, and then send it to the provincial government for approval.

After seeing the end of these people, Chen Niancai returned home and told Gao Genzhu and Zhang Chuanfang that they don't have to worry anymore, and that these people will take private revenge.

After finishing speaking, he went to the next door and told Meng Ping about the matter. Originally, they were victims who were required to testify in court during the normal trial process.

However, Mr. Liu was involved in this matter, so this step was saved, and the crime was directly questioned, and then the prisoner was asked to sign and draw a pledge.

Although these little gangsters had no background, they knew who to mess with and who not to mess with before, but this time they came to Lingma County to see the prosperity, but they didn't expect that among those children there was the son of the richest man in Lingma County.

That's when I stumbled.

After the case here has been sentenced, the leading police officers of Lingma County have to go to the hometown of these gangsters again, find the victims based on the crimes confessed by the prisoners, and ask them to give their fingerprints.

This can also save a lot of time.

It's just that the police from the county government went to the local government office again after they went there, and then reported the accomplices of those gangsters to arrest them.

After all, it is a different place, and the county magistrate here is not easy to cross the border, so he has to let the other side do this.

Another seven or eight days later, apart from making noodles in the noodle shop, Chen Nian did some carpentry work every day.

Because the dough figurine sold to Liu Song was crushed, Chen Nian wanted to make a new one, but this time Chen Nian planned to use wood to make it.

The general parts are still the same, but this time when I made it, I wanted the joints of the Gundam to be able to move, so I added a lot of connection places.

He made two in total, one for Liu Song as compensation, and one for Xiao Fugui.

But after it was finished, Chen Nian didn't put it together immediately, but brought a lot of parts and Xiao Fugui to Liu's Mansion in the afternoon.

"Chen Nian, why are you here? But do you have something to do with my master?" The housekeeper asked curiously after seeing Chen Nian.

"I'm not looking for Mr. Liu this time, I made some gadgets, and I want to find your young master." Chen Nian explained, and picked up those parts and showed them to the housekeeper, "That's it, the noodle man from last time Isn’t it broken? But after receiving Young Master Liu’s money, it’s natural to have to give him another one, and this time it’s made of wood, so it’s not easy to break.”

Seeing this, the butler was overjoyed: "That's just right, our young master should be playing in the yard right now, I'll take you to find him right now."

After finding Liu Song, Chen Nian explained the purpose of his visit: "This time, you can put together the good things yourself. I have made all the parts, and here are the drawings, you can refer to them."

Because the previous noodle man Liu Song cried a lot after he came back, but the previous one had already been trampled flat, even if he cried, it was useless.

Seeing that Chen Nian brought a new one, and it seemed to be stronger, Liu Song couldn't help but shine.

Coming to the gazebo in the middle, Chen Nian dumped all the parts in the basin on the table.

"Okay, that's it."

Most children are naturally hands-on, especially little boys, who have no resistance to these things at all, and no matter whether it is Xiao Fugui or Liu Song, they are not particularly naughty and will throw parts everywhere. yes.

On the contrary, he cherishes his toys very much.

Soon they started to put together, and Chen Nian pointed out from time to time, telling them how to assemble these parts.

After a while like this, Master Liu came here.

"You are..."

"Bring some small toys for Young Master Liu to play with, and I was worried that Young Master Liu would be too boring to play alone, so I specially brought Xiao Fugui and let them play together."

"Very good, you have a heart."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands. Doing more of these things and using your brain can also cultivate children's hands-on ability. Although reading and literacy are important to them, they also need to be cultivated in other aspects."

Although Master Liu couldn't quite understand it, he felt that what Chen Nian said was somewhat reasonable.

But at this time, he looked at Chen Nian again: "Chen Nian, I am going to send a caravan to the south recently, and one of the cooks in my house recently returned home on leave, and the rest of them have to work in the house , I can’t leave, but the caravan also needs to bring a cook, so I want to ask if you would like to go south with the caravan?”

"To the south?"

"Well, I know your craftsmanship. It's no worse than Gen Zhu. Although they can buy food and drink on the way out, they will inevitably miss our noodles."

Chen Nian understands.

"Master Liu, it's not a problem to go, but I'm worried that it will affect the business of Gen Zhu Noodle Restaurant, can you allow me to go back and discuss it with Brother Gen Zhu?"

"Okay, that's what it should be. You go back and discuss it. If you go, tell me as soon as possible. And don't worry, you won't lose a penny of the wages that should be given to you. If there are fewer people at Genzhu, you will definitely be overwhelmed." , I can also give him some compensation."

Chen Nian nodded, keeping this matter in mind for the time being.

After about two hours of touching, with the help of Chen Nian, both children finished spelling the Gundam in their hands.

Seeing that mighty look, the two danced excitedly.

"Little Fugui, we should go back too."

Looking at the sky, Chen Nian pulled Xiao Fugui and prepared to leave.

"Master Liu can move these joints, you can control his movements, but don't use too much force when moving, or it will easily break, and this is made of wood, which cannot be soaked in water or burned, even if it is placed in the house Don't let the sun stay in the sun."

"Brother Chen Nian, I got it!" Liu Song nodded, and then started playing with the Gundam again. Chen Nian didn't know if the other party kept this in mind.

After returning home in the evening, Chen Nian seamlessly connected to Genzhu Noodle Restaurant and started working. It was not until after closing the stall that Chen Nian talked about what Mr. Liu told him.

"Go, you don't have to worry about the things here, it's good to go out and see more. Although you came from the south before, you were fleeing famine at that time. If you go again now, you will feel different if you don't have to worry about food and lodging. , and you can learn something when you go out.”

"Brother Genzhu, if I leave, only you and sister-in-law are left at the noodle restaurant, how can you be busy?"

"It's too busy. Before you came, didn't we both go to the stall every day?"

"Brother Genzhu, it will probably take a few months for me to go out this time."

"A few months, just a few months, go, this opportunity is rare, maybe you can get in touch with Mr. Liu because of this matter, and it will be much easier to find a job at Mr. Liu's house in the future than working here .” Gao Genzhu didn’t care about the worries in Chen Nian’s heart at all.

"And most of the things I know now have already taught you, and the rest will be learned when you come back."

Seeing what Gao Genzhu said, Chen Nian also nodded, he really wanted to go out with the caravan for a while, just as Gao Genzhu said, now he has learned a lot of pasta recipes.

Although he hasn't learned all the noodles that Gao Genzhu knows, he has learned most of them.

Logically speaking, I should go back too, but in the past, I only left after the death of my master, but here Gao Genzhu is only in his 30s. Can hold grandchildren.

And following the caravan to the south, Chen Nian really felt that the opportunity was rare. In reality, he didn't have a few months to do it, but in the dream space he could.

So after Gao Genzhu nodded, Chen Nian went to find Master Liu again the next day and told him that he was willing to go with the caravan.

"Okay, then we've made a deal. We'll leave in three days. During these three days, we'll prepare some dry food, arrange vehicles, horses, and personnel. When we leave early in the morning, you'll go back and pack your things. "

"Row."

There is nothing to clean up in the old year. Although I need to bring some daily necessities for this business trip, it is not suitable to bring too many.

He just took the daily necessities he usually used, and brought some change of clothes, and then took more than a dozen taels of silver and put them in the package together.

"Brother Genzhu, I will leave tomorrow with Master Liu's caravan. I have taken all the cash, but the banknotes are still under the cabinet in my room. If you need them, take the banknotes." Just go to the ticket number and get cash out."

The day before he left, Chen Nian told Gao Genzhu again.

"It's okay, you can leave at ease, we will look after your money for you." Gao Genzhu asked his wife to go back to the house to bring out some clothes: "Some of them were made by your sister-in-law. There are also some clothes that I went out to buy, and I took all these clothes with me so that I can change them when I go out.”

"Okay, then I'll keep it, thank you Brother Genzhu, thank you sister-in-law."

"Well, you're going on a long trip tomorrow, let's have some dumplings before you go."

"Okay, Brother Genzhu."

That night they had another meal of dumplings, and after Xiao Fugui learned that Chen Nian was going to travel far away, even if he ate his favorite dumplings stuffed with pork and scallions, he was always unhappy.

"Xiao Fugui, why do you show such an expression?" Chen Nian said with a joke.

"Brother Chen Nian, you are leaving, I am reluctant to let you go, no one will play with me when you leave."

"It's okay, it's not that I won't come back, I'll bring you some fun things when I come back, and even if I'm not here, you have to remember to endorse every day, you know? I'll come back to check on you."

"Brother Chen Nian, I will memorize and practice calligraphy every day."

"That's good."

While eating, Chen Nian comforted Xiao Fugui.

At night, Xiao Fugui also slept in the old house, but the next morning, Chen Nian saw that Xiao Fugui hadn't woken up yet, so he dressed himself and went to the yard to tidy up, and then took He packed his luggage and left with the caravan.

After a long time, Xiao Fugui was suddenly woken up by Zhang Chuanfang: "Xiao Fugui is up, mother will take you to private school, don't be late."

Xiao Fugui woke up from the dream, looked at his mother standing by the bed, and then at the bed where only his own was left, the loss in his eyes was hard to hide.

But he still got up very sensible. After folding the quilt, he took the books and his four treasures of the study, and went to the private school with Zhang Chuanfang.
