Chapter 419 Beating someone is like hanging a painting

Yizhan recently launched a takeaway service.

This business did not exist in the past. After all, this inn is quite far from Sanshan Town. The only person who manages this inn is the old man. There are not many people coming and going. Everyone can just have a meal or stay in a hotel.

But it was completely different after Du Chengfeng came. On the one hand, he was really practicing some local specialties from the old man, such as the four cooking methods of mushrooms. But on the other hand, as a person who has been studying cooking skills As a person, there are so many unique skills that he can use. Whether it's Huaiyang cuisine, official dishes such as table dishes, or street snacks such as fried skewers and barbecue, he can easily cook them.

It is precisely because of this that the inn, which was originally opened mainly for pedestrians to rest, now looks more and more like a restaurant.

Many Sanshan Town locals are willing to come over when they have nothing to do. Experienced diners will not choose to sit in the shop, but will choose to set up a table outside the house, order three or five wines and dishes, and invite friends. While eating, admire the inverted river not far away.

Although most locals think this ditch-like river is nothing to see, having a view is better than nothing.

Of course, for most ordinary people, takeout service is not open. After all, there are too few people in the station, plus Du Chengfeng, the cook, only has three people. In addition, everyone often orders a variety of dishes, each person Everyone has their own tastes, and if something goes wrong or is sent to the wrong person, there will always be some disputes and troubles.

So now the station only accepts one-time large orders, starting with at least twenty people. This makes it easier to assemble them uniformly, and no one can pick and choose.

To put it bluntly, it is more like an employee canteen. After all, the average family cannot eat for twenty people. Those who can order this amount are basically relatively large organizations.

Money is secondary, and he does not lack this, but being able to go out for a walk is a great good thing for him at the moment - after all, he has just stabilized his figure, and it will take some time to adapt, and going out for a walk is a great thing. This kind of thing is the best way to adapt.

This is how the officials negotiated.

This street originally had no name, but because the inn in the distance has become popular recently and there is a reverse flowing river, the locals use the stone bridge over the river as a landmark and call it Qiaonan Street.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Halfway through Qiaonan Street, you reach a crossroads. This north-south street is also called Gulou Street because it leads directly to the Bell and Drum Towers. Compared with Qiaonan Street, there are relatively more rice, flour, grain and oil sellers on Gulou Street. Nearby Farmers will also come here to set up stalls to sell some fresh vegetables, and even most of the ingredients at the inn are purchased here.

Today is the first day of delivering food. After cooking for forty people, Du Chengfeng, who has shrunk again, carries a huge food box out the door.

The name Sanshan Town sounds like it has some meaning. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because there are three big mountains around it, Datang Mountain, Kangping Mountain, and Jubao Mountain. In the middle of these three mountains is Sanshan Town - logically speaking. , it is not easy for towns to appear in this kind of terrain with inconvenient transportation. It is the end of a village. However, this Sanshan Town also has its own advantages.

After walking along Gulou Street for a while, we came to another intersection. This street has no name, but the town's blacksmith shop is located here. There is also a carpentry workshop on the other side. Everyone needs some tools. You will come here every time. You don’t need to mention the street, just say “go to the blacksmith shop” and you will know where it is.

However, being too close to those three hills is not necessarily a good thing, especially in peacetime, when people are not on the mountains, those hills will become the habitat of bandits. Fortunately, Sanshan Town is poor enough, and the bandits are also I'm too lazy to grab this place, and the man with the golden sword who dominated the mountain recently was wiped out, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Du Chengfeng agreed naturally.

So these government officials came to the door and wanted to ask the post station if they could send them some food every now and then.

For example, county government.

It's very relaxing, not intense, but still has a certain amount of activity. This kind of exercise is just right for Du Chengfeng, whose whole body is currently extremely tense.

As for Sanshan Town itself, since the population is not large, there are actually only four streets that can be called main roads. One is the street Du Chengfeng is walking on now, from east to west, it is also the road leading from outside the town. , because there are more outsiders passing by, there are relatively more restaurants on this street. There are also two tailor shops where you can tailor clothes or buy some ready-made clothes directly.

The county government officials are considered to be the group with the most spending power in Sanshan Town. Perhaps their wealth cannot keep up with those of the local tycoons, but compared to these tycoons who directly raise cooks at home, the government officials are more willing to go out and spend money. I am willing to eat out - but unfortunately, as the most popular restaurant in Sanshan Town, the location of this post station is really far away. The government officials usually have to go to work to eat, so it is inconvenient to come here to eat.

This is also Du Chengfeng's first time to truly step into Sanshan Town.

Although the popularity of the mass grave has subsided due to the previous murder case, the previous ticket money has already made the government officials full of food. Now they just have a few good meals, which is the time for them to show off their wealth.

The existence of the three mountains has indeed blocked the traffic in Sanshan Town, but these three mountains have also protected the residents of Sanshan Town. Once there is any trouble, people will go directly into the mountains and wait until there is peace. Then he went down to the mountains to live. Perhaps this is why Sanshan Town exists. To put it bluntly, people like safe places.

“We can add money!”

Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as the first time. After all, when he killed the big man with the golden sword, he went to the county government to report the crime - but there was an emergency that day, and he drank a lot of wine. As for the time he went from house to house borrowing a shovel to dig holes, it was just for work. He entered the town twice and just passed by in a hurry. He didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the town.

And now, he finally had time to appreciate this town.

After walking down this street, it is the last and most core street in Sanshan Town. Although this street has no name and there are no shops on the street, this street has the most popular shopping mall in Sanshan Town. An important building—that is, the county government office of Sanshan Town.

Around the county government office, there are various buildings such as the police prison and so on, occupying the entire street.

This is also the destination of Du Chengfeng's trip.

"Why did you ask me to deliver it in person?"

Seeing that the cook actually delivered the food to his door, the government servants who originally only wanted to show off were a little embarrassed. In their eyes, it was just a shame to let the children in the inn run errands. Who would have thought that the other party would actually do it? Will give face like this.

Du Chengfeng didn't feel anything at all. Anyway, he just came here for a walk. It was quite a distance from the inn to here, but he still maintained a body size of only six feet, which is about 1.8 meters. When there was no unexpected expansion, even the clothes on his body did not tear, which was enough to prove that his control over his body had gradually stabilized.

Stability will bring a sense of security, and a sense of security will make people feel relaxed. After people relax, they will have more energy to observe and appreciate the surrounding environment.

For example, the swallow's nest on the roof beam of the class room looks very beautiful, and the sound of a nest of little swallows chirping sounds very festive.

But immediately, Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

"swallow?"

Du Chengfeng subconsciously glanced at his right hand, then turned to look at the leading Yamen servant.

"You also have swallows here?"

"Yes, every household has it, how could we not have it here?"

The yamen servant smiled, with a bit of pride on his face.

"There are swallows building nests here, which means that this place is suitable for people to live. If you ask me, no matter how good the wind blows outside, it will only be like that. To really support people, we have to look at our Sanshan Town..."

"Ah."

Du Chengfeng responded casually, but his eyes were always fixed on the swallow's nest above the beam.

There are swallows in every household, and they are also found here, which sounds reasonable.

But that’s not how it worked out at all.

It is also a place where people come and go. There are no swallows building nests at the inn. Why do these birds change their behavior again when they come to the yamen prison?
"Or..." When the government officer wasn't paying attention, Du Chengfeng suddenly reached out and picked off a flying swallow.

He still didn't catch anything, only a ball of ink remained in his hand.

At the same time, Yuan Zhixian, who was far away in the county government office, suddenly raised his head.

"Yo! What's wrong with your hand?"

The Yamen servant who turned around also noticed something was wrong here.

"Why are your hands so black? What's on them... hurry up and find some water to wash them off!"

The yamen servant hurriedly went out to find water, but a man walked towards him. Neither of them paid attention, and they almost bumped into each other.

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, the yamen servant's face became a bit unlucky.

"This is Capt. Wu, he was transferred from outside a few days ago."

The yamen servant introduced the visitor to Du Chengfeng, and then pointed to Du Chengfeng's side.

"This is the cook from the inn, who specially delivers food... The money you spend to buy these food is the dead man's money in your mouth. If you, Mr. Wu, give me a favor, sit down and have a few drinks, and everyone will treat it as a matter of course. If you still feel that the brothers are not doing the right thing, then let’s do our own thing from now on and no one should pay attention to anyone, what do you think?”

It turns out that this is the real reason why the government officials ordered a table of dishes. On the one hand, it is to taste something new and have a smooth meal. On the other hand, they are also preparing to have a drink and talk things over with Capt. Wu - after all, Capt. Wu is their superior officer after all, and everyone can see each other without looking up, so there is no need to make things too tense. What's more, everyone didn't do anything wrong. Everything was overdone by the magistrate. At best, it can only be regarded as different ideas.

It's a pity that Capt. Wu doesn't seem to feel the goodwill of everyone.

The government officials put forward a reconciliation plan, but Capt. Wu didn't even bother to talk to him. From the moment he entered the house, Capt. Wu's eyes were fixed on Du Chengfeng.

After all, Du Chengfeng's eyes had been locked on him before this.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Capt. Wu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Do you have any opinions about me?"

"You still ask me why I'm looking at you?"

Du Chengfeng sneered, then slapped the case.

"I can see at a glance that you are not human!"

"Varied……"

Before anyone could react, the huge arm like a pillar suddenly thrust forward, and Captain Wu's body was completely blown away, and he was embedded directly into the opposite wall!

"This……"

Looking at Wu Captou who was smashed against the wall, then at the six-foot-tall Du Chengfeng, and then at the eight-foot-long thick arm, the government officials couldn't tell for a moment. Which side looks even less human.

Fortunately, the eight-foot-long thick arm has finally retracted to its original appearance, which also makes Du Chengfeng's figure look much more coordinated. As for Wu Captou on the wall...

The whole figure of Wu Captou on the wall is floating down.

"Hitting, hitting someone is like hanging a painting?"

A yamen servant couldn't help but subconsciously spoke.

Hitting someone is like hanging a painting, a martial arts term. As for the specific realm of this, each person has his or her own opinion - but even if there is an explanation, I am afraid it will not be the current situation. This is not so much saying that hitting someone is like hanging a painting. It's better to say that it's like beating people into paintings!

Theoretically speaking, as government officials, they should stop this atrocity. To say the least, if the superior officer was beaten, they, the subordinates, should stand up anyway. But thinking of the huge arm just now, and looking at the paper-thin Captou Wu on the ground, they really didn't dare to make such a stupid move.

"Just pretend you didn't see anything! Mr. Wu just went out and was hit by a car!"

The government officials have made such decisions one after another, and have even begun to lament Capt. Wu's misfortune.

However, it was at this time that Wu Captou, who was already as thin as paper, spoke again.

"Over and over again...you are from outside, do you really think that I can't kill you?"

"You can actually kill me?"

Du Chengfeng was overjoyed.

"Amazing! This is what I want! I haven't met an opponent for a long time! They can't beat me at all... Come! I'll stand here! Fight here!"

Du Chengfeng slapped his chest hard, and his thick chest muscles made a thumping sound.

"If you don't come and beat me, I'm going to beat you! If I don't beat the shit out of you, you'll be clean today!"

"...You are looking for death."

Faced with Du Chengfeng's provocation, Wu Captou took a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, in front of everyone, Wu Captou's face began to dissolve and peel off.

It turned into something like a puddle of ink, condensed on a piece of human-shaped rice paper.

"Oh?"

Du Chengfeng became interested. He had never seen such work before.

It was at this time that the pool of ink suddenly rushed toward him.
