Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 219 On the Right Track
The man in the short shirt is surnamed Zhou, named Sizhu, and the woman is his daughter-in-law, named Juanniang, who lives in a village under Qili County.

The couple had one son and two daughters. They originally opened a husband and wife snack bar in Fucheng, Pingyang, selling some local pasta. The business was good. In addition to feeding the family with food and clothing, they also entrusted someone to send a few taels of silver back to their hometown to support their parents during the New Year.

But since last winter, refugees have gathered outside the city, prices have risen, and no matter how strict the government is, some refugees have mixed into the city.

The downtown area is fine, but in those poor streets and alleys, more and more people rob money.

The small shop opened by Zhou Zhuzhu is located in a remote place. At the beginning, he kindly sent some food to the beggars to eat. After a long time, those beggars and hooligans began to extort money in different ways.

He visits the door every few days, not only disrupting his ability to do business, but also almost abducting his two-year-old daughter.

There was even a colleague who made trouble, and found a rascal, who extorted a large amount of money on the grounds of unclean food, forcing his husband and wife to sell their property and return to their hometown to farm.

It's just that Zhou Zhuzhu's temper is straightforward, and this tone is uncomfortable in his heart.

Song Liyun also asked that Juanniang has always had the habit of eating peppercorns since she was a child, and her family is also good at cooking spicy dishes.

But because the smoked barbecue at home caught fire, her parents died in the fire, and her eldest brother was also burned, so she sold herself as a slave in exchange for money to treat her brother's illness.

I met Zhou Zhuzhu when I was a slave to a big family. After getting married, I took off my slave status and opened a small shop with Zhou Zhuzhu. The business was good and attracted covetousness.

Song Liyun thought that it would be rather monotonous for Tianxianglou to only sell barbecue now. It would be better if it was paired with some other food, some porridge soup snacks, and spicy dishes in the future.

It's a pity that there are no serious cooks in Qili County who dare to come to Tianxiang Tower.

Although Sun Wencheng and the others know how to barbecue, they are all self-taught after all.

Barbecue in the field can barely be eaten. If you want to achieve high-grade excellence, you still need professional guidance.

When Zhou Zhouzhu and his wife heard that Song Liyun wanted to hire him as a chef and asked if he would like to stay, they agreed almost without hesitation.

Tianxianglou used to have more than a dozen clerks, cooks, handymen, and ruffians who needed to run errands, so there were several small rooms in the backyard, which are still vacant now.

Zhou Zhouzhu and Juanniang took their children and moved in directly on the same day.

Now the couple are working in the kitchen, ten-year-old son Xiaozhu and eight-year-old Dahua do odd jobs and run errands in the building to do light work, and two-year-old Xiaohua usually stays in the backyard to be safe.

With this husband and wife joining, the back kitchen of Tianxiang Building can be regarded as the backbone, and with Lin Tao as the shopkeeper outside, the next business will be on the right track.

Besides, Mr. Jiang in the county yamen, after receiving the six ruffians sent by Zhou Xiang, took advantage of the situation and dug hard.

Fortunately, he was born in Dali Temple, and his investigative methods are top-notch. A few hooligans just came to the court, and they told the truth. They were ordered by Huang Changsheng from Zuichunlou.

But when the yamen servants called Huang Changsheng to testify, these gangsters couldn't produce any evidence, so they had to let him go back.

When Zhou Xiang said this, he was still a little annoyed: "This Jiang Feng didn't know what he meant, he just asked, and the man released him without admitting it.

It’s ridiculous that we need a large number of us. Obviously these people are making things difficult for us everywhere, and they want us to show mercy to those who have evil intentions. "

It turned out that although Huang Changsheng did not admit that he had instigated people to blackmail Tianxianglou, he admitted that he had gone to the county government office to inquire about the purchase, and even spent a lot of money managing the following clerks.

However, this cannot be listed as evidence of his blackmail.

After Zhou Xiang complained, he said again: "Master Jiang also said that Tianxianglou was created by the common hostility of several restaurants and restaurants in Qili County. If Huang Changsheng is punished now, it will definitely attract dissatisfaction from the kitchen business. We need to keep a low profile first." !"

Is this the law that does not blame the public?Or do you want to ensure the order in Qili County?
Song Liyun thought for a moment before saying, "It can only be said that civil servants handle things differently from military generals. Master Jiang has his own reasons for what he wants to do. We just have to be careful."

Jealousy is like weeds in spring, if you pull out this one, there will be another one, now you know that Huang Changsheng and Shen Leyan are the leaders, you just need to be on guard.

Tianxianglou needs to open its doors to do business, and only by being kind can it make money.

In the past, I was not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, but now I have to restrain myself, and I can't stop fighting and falling out.

Moreover, it has been rumored privately that Tianxiang Building is a guard house, Jiang Feng wants to avoid suspicion?

These are just speculations of Song Liyun and the others.

I don't know what Jiang Feng and Luo Baihu did, and Qili County suddenly became peaceful.

A few days passed, except for the first time the hooligans who wanted to extort money caused trouble, now even cats and dogs didn't come to the door.

The kitchen shop is also dead.

However, Song Liyun didn't plan to let these people go. Whatever he did, there must be a result.

It's still a long time, how to deal with yourself at the beginning of the opening, how to return it yourself!

The focus of Jiang Feng's work these days is indeed to maintain stability. After all, he is not only here for this small county, but also has other affairs.

It is said that one month ago, Qing'an Mansion was attacked by Di Lu on horseback, and the refugees scattered, and the flow of people flooded into Pingyang Mansion, and the pressure here increased sharply.

Under the scorching sun, the life of the refugees is worse than that of the cold winter. Often the people are still alive, and the rot has already spread, and there are plagues that follow.

Compared with Fucheng, Qili County and Suijin Town are closer to Dilu Grassland.

And because of the backward communication, more than half a year has passed, and the story about the Dilu tribe smashing the Jinguan wall during the New Year's Day is only now spreading among the people in Yunzhou.

Out of fear of the Dilu people, those who fled did not come here, and the county town became a pure land instead.

Seeing that the country has fallen, the Xuanwei Army is no longer reliable, and the Zhenbei Army in Hecheng has already dispatched troops, trying to drive Di Lu to the grassland on horseback.

However, in the territory of the Wu Dynasty, it was the time when the water and grass were abundant and the grain warehouses were full. The Dilu cavalry didn't even need to bring horse feed, and they could gallop freely in various fields and villages.

This is also the reason why the Zhenbei Army tried every means to build a guard castle, trying to keep the Dilu people out of the pass.

Once they entered the Wu Dynasty, the situation was not good for Zhenbei Army.

Di Lu rode his horse swiftly like the wind, his direction was uncertain, and no one could stop him wherever he passed. Moreover, a large number of Wu Dynasty villagers could be taken as hostages, making it difficult for the Zhenbei army to catch up and attack.

This kind of work is not easy to do, and if you are a little careless, not only will you not be able to save others, but you will even be involved in it.

If the food is robbed, it can be harvested again, but if the population casualties are too heavy, the foundation will be seriously injured.

The Zhenbei Army could not forcefully attack the Dilu cavalry occupying the village, but could only slowly shrink the line of defense, block the way forward, and force the Dilu people to retreat to the grassland after plundering.

In the imperial capital of the Wu Dynasty, the weather was hot in June. Under the scorching sun, even the cicadas hid in the shade of trees and whispered.

But in the court hall, all the courtiers were wearing strict court uniforms, but they were sweating like rain, and kept silent like cicadas.
