Border Cook

Chapter 111 Kicked to the Iron Plate
Therefore, Xia Mingyue felt that two stalls could be set up in Dongcheng District at that time, but the locations should be relatively dispersed.

Xia Mingyue looked at it and thought about it in her mind, and nodded from time to time when she thought of something suitable.

From Lu Qiyan's perspective, Xia Mingyue was walking and stopping, looking around, and occasionally smiling for no apparent reason...

Weird, but seems to make perfect sense?

But in the eyes of the road, it doesn't seem so ordinary.

Some people setting up stalls on the roadside had a slightly changed expression when they saw Xia Mingyue, whose behavior and demeanor were different from those of ordinary people.

Some people even shook their heads with regret.

It seemed to be saying, what a pity it is that such a good girl turned out to be a fool.

Lu Qiyan, "..."

"She's not stupid." Lu Qiyan explained in a low voice, "She's just thinking about something. Please don't misunderstand her."

People love to spread rumors, and they spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. It is common for black and white to be confused. If the reputation of the fool gets out, Xia Mingyue must be very distressed.

The best solution is to curb the source.

Lu Qiyan chose to correct it directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the man who shook his head and sighed was stunned.

He didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through, and he didn't expect that someone would come and correct him directly.

Moreover, the other person looked gentle and elegant, like a handsome scholar, but he had a frightening majesty all over his body, which made people feel scared.

"Yes, there is no misunderstanding..." The stall owner explained hurriedly subconsciously.

"Yeah." Lu Qiyan then left.

Xia Mingyue walked a few steps away and found Lu Qiyan catching up from behind, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I saw something for sale at the stall and asked."

Want to ask the price?

Xia Mingyue turned her head and saw that the stall where Lu Qiyan had just stopped was selling donkey rolls, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Are you hungry now after just finishing lunch?

It seems that she underestimated Lu Qiyan's appetite.

Or maybe the oil-splashed noodles at noon, although delicious and fragrant, did not contain much meat and not enough oil, which was probably not enough for Lu Qiyan, who had been in the military camp for a long time.

It seems that I need to make something greasy at night...

Xia Mingyue was thinking with her head down and didn't notice a person rushing out from the alley next to her.

The man was carrying a shoulder pole, at one end of which was a steaming stove.

Seeing that the stove was about to hit Xia Mingyue, Lu Qiyan was quick to reach out and pull Xia Mingyue back.

Xia Mingyue staggered and fell into Lu Qiyan's arms. When she came to her senses, she saw the man carrying the stove taking the carrying pole off his shoulder and staring at her.

That person was not someone else but the tall and thin man who made braised food when he had previously approached Xia Mingyue to discuss joining the franchise.

At this moment, the tall and thin man was grinning with ill intentions, "Oh, isn't this Madam Xia? What a coincidence that I actually ran into Madam Xia here."

"Oh, no, it's a good thing I didn't touch Madam Xia. Otherwise, if the scorching hot fire fell on me, I would definitely get burned. If anything happened to Madam Xia, what would I do?"

There was worry in his words, but his tone was full of regret.

Coupled with the smiling face that looked like he was asking for a beating, even though Lu Qiyan didn't know what exactly happened, he was clear about the other party's intentions.

Unwrapping his arm around Xia Mingyue's waist, Lu Qiyan walked up to her and reached out to hold the carrying pole in her hand. Sensing the anger in Lu Qiyan, the tall and thin man was a little frightened, "What are you going to do?"

"I see your shoulder pole is wide but not thick, so it's probably not very strong."

As soon as Lu Qiyan finished speaking, the carrying pole in his hand snapped and broke in the middle into two pieces.

"Look, it's not very strong." Lu Qiyan said dimly, "They say this shoulder pole is the strongest thing, much stronger than human bones. I think it's just so-so. I just wonder if human bones are also this weak."

Was this a threat to break his bones?
"There are still laws in this world!" The tall and thin man pointed in the direction of the county government office, "If you dare to act rashly, I will report you to the authorities!"

"Let's not talk about whether you can report to the police if both your legs are broken. Even if you report to the police, your legs will probably not be healed. Even if I pay a lot of money and get beaten with a stick, what will happen?"

Lu Qiyan said, "Besides, I didn't hurt your leg on purpose. I just helped you take down the carrying pole when you were carrying the stove and parading around the city to prevent you from hurting others. But the carrying pole was not strong enough and it accidentally hit you when it broke."

"No matter how you look at it, it was just an accident. It is said that the county magistrate has a keen eye. I think he can see clearly and know the key to this."

Knowing that he intended to hurt people, he deserved it now.

The tall and thin man's face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled and he dared not speak anymore.

Lu Qiyan straightened his slightly bent body and said, "Keep your eyes open and walk carefully. Don't bump into anyone you shouldn't bump into."

Don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with.

After saying that, Lu Qiyan reached out and patted his shoulder.

The force was so great that the tall and thin man felt as if the bones in his shoulders were about to be broken, and there was an even greater layer of fear on his face.

Because he failed to join the franchise last time, he could only watch Xia Ji’s branches open one after another, and watch others make a lot of money, and his resentment gradually grew.

And all these grievances were blamed on Xia Mingyue.

It was all because of her looking down on him and not giving him the opportunity to make money that he is still living in poverty and being looked down upon by others.

No matter what you say, you have to vent your anger.

He had just seen Xia Mingyue wandering on the street and wanted to teach her a lesson.

As a result, it hit the iron plate.

The tall and thin man felt more and more scared the more he looked at Lu Qiyan. He raised his foot to escape, but was stopped by him.

"It's very inappropriate to put this stove on the street. You'd better take it away as soon as possible." Lu Qiyan reminded.

Upon hearing this, the tall and thin man hurried to pack up.

But now the carrying pole was broken and could not be carried away, so he had to use the broken half of the pole to try to carry it like a lantern.

However, the stove was quite heavy, so after failing to move it, we had to drag it.

As it was dragged, the stove fell over and the charcoal inside rolled out, scattering at the feet of passers-by and beside various stalls.

"You're asking for death, are you trying to burn my stall with such hot charcoal?"

"My new shoes! Damn it, you have to compensate me for my new shoes!"

"You little brat, you were scolded by me a few days ago and you still weren't satisfied. Are you here to ask for a beating now?"

"..."

The swearing soon escalated into punching and kicking, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

"Are you okay?" Lu Qiyan returned to Xia Mingyue.
