Jin Tang

Chapter 40
"A joke? You came to see my family's joke? I know you. You have always been at odds with my man. I tell you, I don't care about your opinion at all." The woman in her forties roared, "I don't see a man in my life. Even if he offends you and commits a crime, he must have a reputation."

If it wasn't for the shopkeeper who wanted to come out to appease him, I wouldn't care about that Wang Ba's life or death—Su Chuang cursed inwardly, but he didn't show it on his face.

"My lady, what are you talking about? No one will punish Wang Langjun for his crime. We have already reported it to the government. You can't trust me, Su San, and the government?" Su Chuang bowed his body and tried to persuade him.

Hearing that Su Chuang said that he had reported to the police, the woman stared at him blankly for a moment, then suddenly sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

"Erfu, Mr. Mo Lang, come quickly and help this old man and lady up." Su Chuang turned his head and called out hastily.

Turning his head around, he tried to persuade him in a low voice: "Old man, lady, young gentleman. Wang Ba is also a respectable and valuable person in our car dealership. Don't be like this. Let's go in and talk slowly if you have anything to say."

Mo Yang, Er Fu and the others, together with several coachmen under Su Chuang, coaxed them into the garage, and finally avoided people's sight, and let them sit in the short hall in the side hall. on the couch.

It didn't take long before the noise and noise outside finally subsided, and the tranquility was restored.

There will definitely not be so many people here, it is not convenient to talk about things.Mo Yang rolled his eyes, walked to the tea table in the side hall, and started boiling water to make tea soup.

For Mo Yang, he felt that this could not be called drinking tea.

First of all, in terms of the production method, here is not brewing tea, but sencha.

Boil the water before making tea. When the water boils, that is, when it boils, you can add a little salt to adjust the taste, and then use a spoon to remove impurities and foam on the water.

In addition to adding salt, the tea soup of the Tang Dynasty also mixed ingredients such as onion, ginger, pepper, jujube, cinnamon, orange peel, mint leaves, etc. In short, it is very different from modern clear tea.

Then burn it again, and when it boils for the second time, first use a spoon to scoop out a ladle of water, then start to pour tea powder into the kettle, and then burn it.

At the third boil, add the ladle of water scooped out at the second boil, and you're done, and the tea is considered ready.

It's not that Mo Yang can't accept it. He thinks that as long as he doesn't drink them as tea, but drinks free soup on the spot and makes tea with the attitude of making delicious food, it's not so difficult to accept.

Sure enough, as he expected, Su Chuang took a look at Mo Yang, who was working hard, and didn't let him leave. Er Fu and the two coachmen who belonged to his faction didn't leave. The driver and the boy sent off.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the shopkeeper walked in with a sullen face.

The woman was crying miserably, when she saw the big shopkeeper walking in, she jumped up and knelt on the ground, took a few quick steps on her knees, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried out louder.

"Big shopkeeper, big shopkeeper... don't think about it, don't think about it, think about it, because your brothers joined the army at the beginning, and the other was in the army, you send someone to look for him, save our family Wangba... he Those who always sincerely admire the character and knowledge of the big shopkeeper... ah... ho ho..."

"Wang Ba's daughter-in-law, don't cry. This matter is not about Wang Ba alone or your family." The shopkeeper's face was pale, and he looked at the woman with gloomy eyes. They are soaking here, it is important to go back quickly, I have already ordered Su San to send 20 coachmen to look for them, you should take good care of the elderly and children at home for the time being, and wait for news from Wang Ba."

This woman made a fuss, and she felt a little more at ease. She was originally a normal husband and wife with Wang Ba, but she wanted to be strong in front of others for the rest of her life, but when her old husband disappeared, she was afraid of falling into a miserable situation. She just borrowed an excuse It's just a vent.

Hearing that the big shopkeeper had given the steps, and also that someone had been sent to look for it, she didn't want to bother anymore, she got up and covered her face and cried.

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh, and sat on the chair in silence.

Seeing this situation, Su Chuang and Mo Yang didn't dare to speak or move more. They were also very embarrassed in the room. At this time, they all shrank in place like quails, trying to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible. .

After an indeterminate amount of time, Su Chuang said, "Boss shopkeeper, you just said that you sent someone to look for it..."

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and glanced at the people in the room, and said to Su Chuang, "Follow what I just said, and come and tell me as soon as you find it."

Just as he was talking, Er Fu ran over at a trot.

Su Chuang waved his hand and said sharply: "I'm discussing with the shopkeeper. Today's guests will be arranged by you guys in front of the counter. Don't come to me again."

"No...it's..." Erfu stammered while holding the door. It was people from the government who came, "They went to Wang Baye's residence first, and then asked the big shopkeeper... I hurried here gone."

"Come on, let's go over and have a look." The shopkeeper rubbed his forehead, and rushed out like the wind.

Mo Yang didn't make a sound, and quietly followed behind.

When they arrived at the courtyard where Wang Ba was, they saw a subordinate official with three yamen servants questioning Wang Ba's wife.

"It's an old acquaintance." The big shopkeeper laughed loudly and said heartily, "So it's Zhou Langjun. Why don't you come to my place first when you come here? It's not that people will say that I don't treat guests well."

"The chief shopkeeper's words are a joke, but it's inconvenient to disturb him on official business." Zhou Xuli cupped his hands to the big shopkeeper.

The people around all know that one of these two people is a big shopkeeper in the business world, and the other is an old fried dough stick in the yamen.

"I also met County Magistrate Zhang yesterday, but first I want to congratulate Zhou Langjun on his promotion to Xia County." The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and said, "This Wang Ba is the manager of my car dealership, and I can't do without him here, please. After you find him, let him come back to perform his duties as soon as possible."

"It's all thanks to the shopkeeper. Don't worry, we will definitely try our best to find his trace." This week, the subordinate staff bowed their hands again.

"That's a good relationship. After so many years of friendship, we are also very worried about Wang Ba's safety." The shopkeeper seemed relieved, "Go ahead, we will fully cooperate with you if you need anything."

"I don't have anything else right now, I just want to ask who in the car dealership saw Wang Ba yesterday?" Zhou Xuli glanced at the drivers around him, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "I see the The people are not complete yet, can the big shopkeeper summon the people in the car dealership so that we can ask questions, and it won't take too long."

The shopkeeper turned his head and gave Su Chuang a gesture, and Su Chuang immediately sent someone down to make arrangements.
