Happy Little Scholar

Liu Ruyi spent half a year to prove one thing, whatever Li Yi likes to eat, the taste will not be bad.

So, a moment later, in addition to the two distinguished noble men, there was a beautiful young woman sitting at a street noodle stall eating noodles.

The woman stood in the stall, rubbing her hands awkwardly. The stalls were always filled with rough people, and even a slightly nobler person would not eat noodles here. The scene in front of her was too much for her to handle. Come.

The skinny little girl had a slight smile on her face, revealing two cute tiger teeth. If she were not too thin and had no flesh on her face, she would still be a complete beauty.

"Lady boss, have another bowl." Li Yi put down the bowl and drank all the soup, still feeling that he still had more to eat.

Even he himself was wondering why he had a special liking for the noodles at this noodle stall, and he also felt familiar, as if he had eaten there a long time ago, and more than once.

"Why!"

It was rare for a distinguished guest to like to eat home-made noodles. The woman responded with a smile on her face and hurriedly prepared it.

Regarding Li Yi's behavior, Li Xuan cast a look of disdain.

I have been accustomed to the royal etiquette since I was a child. I only eat seven-half full when I eat. Even if I like the meal, I will not eat a second bowl.

Wiping her mouth, she pushed the empty bowl aside and said, "Madam boss, cook one more bowl with more noodles."

It was obvious just now that Li Yi had at least 20% more noodles in his bowl than he did. How could the noble prince lose to him in such a matter?

When he was eating his second bowl of noodles, Li Yi slowed down. After all, although the bowl was a little smaller, it was still quite generous.

He looked up at the woman and asked, "The sauce the boss lady put in just now should be a family secret recipe, right?"

Li Yi has eaten a lot of noodles in his life, and has done a lot of research on this. This noodle can only be regarded as average, but the soup is really delicious, not inferior to the nationally famous time-honored restaurants he had eaten in his previous life.

In the past, those graceful noble men would never look at her when they passed by here. The woman had never met such a kind noble man. She nodded with a smile and said, "The noble man guessed it right. This The sauce has been passed down from ancestors for decades. ”

"It seems to be a time-honored restaurant." Li Yi smiled and said, "The taste of this noodle is inexplicably familiar. It always feels like I have eaten it somewhere."

"Isn't the noble person from the capital?" the woman looked at him and asked.

"Don't call me 'noble' or 'noble', I am indeed not from the capital." Li Yi shook his head and said.

"That's expensive...Young Master must have remembered it wrong. Our ancestors are all in the capital, and this secret recipe has never been shown to anyone. You can't have it anywhere else." The nervousness in the woman's heart has almost disappeared, and when she talked about the secret recipe Things, I couldn't help but say a few more words.

Li Yi stopped continuing the question. Maybe he had eaten similar noodles before, but in another world.

After all, there was already a bowl on the bottom just now. This time, I only ate half of the noodles, but drank all the soup. Li Xuan touched his bulging belly, and picked up the bowl to drink the soup in the same manner. If this scene was revealed by the censor, When the official saw it, he would scold him for losing his royal manners.

The woman began to clear away the dishes, and the little girl wiped the tables and chairs diligently with a rag. The Lantern Festival had just passed, and the weather was still very cold, but a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out on her forehead.

boom!

A muffled sound suddenly came from the side, and a big foot immediately appeared on the table that the little girl had just wiped, followed by a strong smell of foot odor.

"Ms. He family, it's time to pay your dues."

Li Yi covered his nose and looked at the rough man as if he was looking at a poison gas bomb.

Miss Liu Er had the quickest reaction. She had already pinched her nose and moved away from him. The big man's feet were placed on the table next to Li Xuan, only one foot away from him.

Li Yi clearly saw his face turn from red to white and then blue, then turned his head suddenly, covered his mouth and retched.

Li Yi looked at the disgusting look on the verge of tears and sighed secretly. The meal just now was in vain.

When she saw the big man, the little girl's face turned pale and she quickly ran behind the woman.

The woman's face was pale, she looked at the big man, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hu, didn't you just pay me this morning? Why..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The big man waved his hands impatiently and said: "This is my territory. I can close it whenever I want, as many times as I want. If your noodle stall still has If you want to keep driving here, give me the money!"

Li Yi looked at this scene in surprise. In the capital of a country, under the emperor's feet, the public security is so bad?

Are all those collecting protection fees so blatant?

If this were the case in Qing'an City, any scoundrel who dared to be so arrogant would have been beaten to half a life by Liu Yishou.

After discovering the dark phenomenon of collecting protection fees in the city, under Li Yi's instruction, Liu Yishou carried out a thorough rectification of the rogue idlers in the city, and invited them one by one to the county government office to drink tea for a few days. There was no need to collect protection fees anymore. Instead, we often saw a group of burly men picking up garbage on the street. The sanitation in the city immediately improved a lot. I heard that the prefect even specially praised Magistrate Liu for this. , listing him as a model that other counties should follow...

The woman said with a bitter face: "Master Hu, there is really no money. You took all the money away in the morning. We only had a few customers in the morning. We really have no money..."

"No money, let me see!" The big man named Master Hu kicked over the table in front of him, jumped in, picked up a shabby wooden box on the ground, opened it, picked out a few copper coins from it, threw the wooden box on the ground casually, and said: "Damn, it's bad luck to have such a poor guy like you!"

Liu Ruyi frowned and was about to walk over, but when he saw a patrol officer coming over not far away, he stopped again.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing the officer coming over from a distance, the man shook his hand and said: "Brother Song, it's okay, you do your work, I'll treat you to a drink in the evening!"

"Be careful!"

The officer said a word, waved his hand, turned around and left.

Li Yi was stunned. Is this really the capital?

Can the collusion between officials and bandits be more obvious?

No wonder the woman's face turned pale instead of happy when she saw the police coming over. After all this time, the police were actually in cahoots with the protection fee collector?

The man took the copper coin, spat secretly, and was about to leave.

However, of course someone would not let him get away so quickly.

Li Xuan's eyes were like spitting fire, and he kicked the man away.

A long time ago, Li Yi knew that although he looked gentle and thin on the surface, he was actually quite skilled. When he was forced to go to Prince Ning's Mansion, he had no power to resist.

"Who the hell..."

The man was quite powerful. He got up from the ground with a tumble, cursed angrily, and flew out again before he turned around.

Li Xuan pinched his nose. He had just vomited a lot, and he didn't want to get close to that guy. He waved his hand and retreated to Li Yi's side.

Many times, Li Yi wondered if he had a dual personality. When he was serious, he could be elegant and polite, and no one could find any fault with him. When he was a dandy, he looked like a typical second-generation rich kid, swaggering through the streets with a group of lackeys. He just waved his hand, and two guards walked over and trampled the man like a human sandbag...

Seeing that the elegant young man just now suddenly became fierce and ferocious, the overlord of this generation, "Tiger Lord", could only hold his head and beg for mercy on the ground. The woman opened her mouth and couldn't come back to her senses for a while.

The little girl tightly grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes. She stared blankly at the man rolling on the ground and clenched her fists.
