Chapter 29
The kitchen of the small restaurant was burnt to black, but fortunately, no one was injured, but luckily. After this incident, Qi was completely frightened by the Yan family and immediately developed a high fever. While Lin Dan wanted to hire a doctor for her, while going to the Yamen to sue an official, Lin Dan didn't close his eyes for almost the whole night.
But the person who set the fire had long since ran away, and Lin Dan was a powerless ordinary citizen, so the yamen would naturally not take care of him.
After tossing all night, Lin Dan was exhausted. In order to appease the Qi family, he did not dare to live in Sanchakou Hutong anymore. Before dawn, he left the city gate and moved to a suburban house. She was not ashamed of the Yan family, but she couldn't help but consider the feelings of her mother and the others.
So the next day, the Nancheng people who discovered that their hometown restaurant was completely closed were dumbfounded. Yesterday, when the Yan family came to make trouble, the business in the shop was excellent. Later, everyone took advantage of the chaos and ran away and took a lot of food. They talked unscrupulously about Treasurer Lin's personal affairs, using the most vicious ideas to speculate about her personality, but they were not afraid of turning her face. Because they knew that shopkeeper Lin had to earn money to support the family, which destined her not to offend the diners.
But now, the restaurant in my hometown is closed! Shopkeeper Lin didn't make any more money, so he walked in a casual manner. So what do they eat and drink for those Nancheng people who have left their hometown? Used to eat the most authentic hometown food, and now let them go back to the boring life before, who wants to?
"Treasurer Lin, are you here, it's time to get up and open the shop!" The unknown person slapped the shop door vigorously, but he couldn't get the slightest response, suddenly a little anxious. They are doing the most bitter and tiring work. It has become a habit to get up every morning to eat a bowl of noodles cooked by shopkeeper Lin, and to pack a small piece of lo-wei moisturizing mouth at night. This bowl of noodles and a piece of meat are their greatest hope in the day and the best comfort, but now the noodles are gone, and the stewed pork is gone. What should I do if I can't eat the dishes from Shopkeeper Lin?
The more he thought and the more flustered, he slapped the store door harder.
Yesterday, the people who were still crowded in the alley to watch the excitement and even grab food, all showed anxious look at this moment. From now on, they can only eat the most authentic hometown food in dreams, not reality. Even though this is just a bite, it can have a huge impact on people's psychology and physiology.
"What's the matter?" Tang Jiu squeezed the crowd and asked with a frown. Like everyone else, he can't beat the thunder every morning, and he needs to come to the store to eat a bowl of noodles, otherwise he will lose energy all day.
Qin Erniang stood on the corner and pinched her waist sarcastically: "Don't knock, there is no one inside. Someone came to shopkeeper Lin to make trouble last afternoon and smashed the store. These people took advantage of the chaos and robbed her of her food at night. Another thief came to set the fire and burned the kitchen. Shopkeeper Lin did not dare to live here again, and moved away overnight, and I am afraid that she will not come back to open the shop in the future. She also found me last night and said that she sold the store for ten taels of silver. I. You make it! Make shopkeeper Lin frustrated and leave the capital, that would be great! I will never eat the local dishes made by shopkeeper Lin anymore. I fucking drink northwest wind! Shopkeeper Lin usually How did you treat you, you have forgotten it? Donโt look at it. In this South City, who is willing to give you soup for free? Who is willing to give you pickles for free? Who is willing to be in the vegetarian scumbag The braised pork is just to give you a taste of the meat. It's fine if you don't remember her as good, but you turn around and grab her things. You are not fucking humans!"
"Someone came to smash the shop and set fire?" Tang Jiu asked with a dark face, "Is Lin Dan hurt? Do you know where she is now?"
"I don't know." Qin Erniang didn't dare to make trouble in front of Tang Jiu, but she couldn't figure it out, so she snorted and left. Everyone who was swept by her eyes bowed their heads, blushed, and felt regretful in their hearts.
Shopkeeper Lin's craftsmanship is so good that it has already raised everyone's appetite. Now that she doesn't open a shop, everyone will no longer be able to eat that delicious hometown food, and the sadness and hardship of leaving home have multiplied. Shopkeeper Lin's dishes are not only delicious, but also contain a trace of nostalgia, which is enough to comfort the wanderers' hearts. But they have benefited from her, but they don't remember to help her at a critical moment, and in turn harm her, it's really a beast.
"I knew that shopkeeper Lin would be too angry to open a shop, and what I said yesterday would help her drive the group away!"
"What's the use of this now? People are gone! If I was in the store yesterday, I would have beaten out with a stick!"
"Today I have to unload two cargoes. I must be very tired. I also want to eat a bowl of noodles in the morning and work hard. But now, the restaurant in my hometown is closed and there is no more noodles in my hometown. Can't mention it! Does anyone know where Shopkeeper Lin is? Get her back, and I beg her not to shut her up, everyone will live by pointing to her craft!"
This is not an exaggeration. would like to ask these hardworking people in Nancheng, who would not come to Lin Dan to eat a bowl of noodles before going to work after getting up early? The noodles she sells are delicious and cheap, and the vegetable simmered seeds can make a strong meaty taste, and she will give everyone a bowl of milky bone soup for free. Eat a hot and delicious breakfast here, and she will be full of energy throughout the day.
When she opened the shop, everyone thought it was nothing, wasn't it just a meal? You won't die without eating. But when she stopped opening the shop, everyone seemed to be missing something important, and their hearts were empty.
Tang Jiu-mian left Sanchakou Hutong sinkingly, feeling harder than anyone else. You donโt need to guess and know that the Yan family must be the ones who come to smash and burn the shop. As long as he thinks of their tricks, he feels an unspeakable disgust. On the other hand, he feels like Lin Dan. felt very sad when left silently, even a little angry.
He has told her countless times that if you encounter trouble, you can come to yourself, but she is still the same as she was ten years ago, no matter how much wronged she has suffered. She doesn't seem to need anyone, so she lives alone and stubbornly in the world.
Tang Jiu suppressed the pain and pity in his heart, and strode towards Nancheng Yamen. Does the government matter? Well, he will take care of him personally, whoever smashes the shop or burns it, and whoever fucks hand over his hands!
After Tang Jiu left, Wei Yuanhou also came and asked about the situation. A smirk appeared on Fengrun's many faces, "Someone burned the shopkeeper Lin's shop and forced her to close it? Good, good, good!" Away. After another moment, the Dianqian County King also came, and sighed helplessly: "I also said that I will pack some Yunnan-Qian-specific snacks for my sister today. This time I have to break my promise. Shopkeeper Lin will not be forced to never again. Dare to open a shop? How can this be good!"
Several luxurious carriages came and walked quietly. After returning, they sent people to look for the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Lin. By the way, they checked what happened to her back then, and this investigation found the Yan family.
Strictly Shouye Quandang Lin Dan was still the helpless little pitiful back then, and he was very pleased that he could beat her into the water as soon as he shot. How can you help Qiaoyuan Restaurant to grab my business? How about your cooking skills today? I snatched your signature dish, and then cut the weeds to remove the roots, so that you can go to Huangquan to accompany Lin Baotian!
Although the fire failed to burn Lin Dan to death and ruined the good mood of Shouye for a day, he did not hesitate to give the little gangsters a bit of hard work when he learned that the mother and daughter were scared and left the capital overnight.
"After I go back, stare at Sanchakou Hutong. If their family comes back again, you will continue to burn them. If they burn to death, I will count me. You don't have to worry about the yamen. I have let people take care of them. They will not care." Yan Shou Ye handed over an ingot of silver, and a few punks from Nancheng quickly caught it, and left thankfully.
"How's the business in the store today?" He turned his head and asked Old Lin Er.
"Weiyuan Hou brought dozens of soldiers to the store to drink, and took up the seats on the first floor. The second floor was also full of seven or eight, and the business was prosperous." Lin Lao Er said triumphantly.
"Weiyuanhou is here? Hurry up and deliver the best wine in the store!" Yan Shouye thought for a moment and changed his words, "No, I personally go over to greet the distinguished guests and give me the wine." Walking in front of the hall, he came to Weiyuanhou with respect and fear, and flattered: "Master Hou, this is the pear wine brewed by the little girl herself. It is the most refreshing to drink in spring. Can you taste it?"
He was very confident in Yan Langqing's craftsmanship, and expected that Weiyuanhou would be satisfied. Didn't he never send drinks to the Hou Mansion in the past, but he couldn't even get through the gate, and finally came Weiyuan Hou Pan, how could he not swear? As long as they drink this jar of wine, their restaurant will have a big backing.
"Your daughter is Yan Langqing?" Wei Yuanhou confirmed.
"Yes, Yan Langqing is a little girl who is now working as an imperial cook in the palace." Yan Shouye said proudly.
Wei Yuanhou pointed to his empty glass, and said with a smile, "Then fill it up."
Yan Shouye quickly poured wine to the other party, and then waited eagerly for feedback, but unexpectedly Wei Yuanhou suddenly raised his wine bowl, smashed his head severely, and yelled: "Fuck your mother, how dare you take it? Fake wine from the water comes to fool you! Little ones, smashed this black shop for me!"
"Yes!" The soldiers who were already ready to move immediately drew out their waist swords and smashed all the tables, chairs, doors, windows, and counters on the first floor. The guests on the second floor were anxious, but did not dare to go down, so they could only stand by the fence and look down. After about two quarters of an hour, the originally luxurious storefront was in a mess, Yan Shouye lay on the ground covered in blood and moaning, but no one dared to help.
Wei Yuanhou still felt that he was not enough to relieve his anger. He caught him and kicked him a few times. He sneered and said, "I hate the person who sells fake liquor the most in my life. I didn't directly kill you today, so I will go back to burn incense and worship Buddha. Come!" As soon as he left, the diners upstairs also left one after another, but there were still many people around the door, craned their necks to watch the excitement.
Only then did Lin Lao Er ran out to help Yan Shouye, saw the mess on the ground, and thought of today's loss, his heart hurt like a knife.
However, this was not over yet. Before the doctor rushed to the shop to help Yan Shouye dress up the wound, the butler of the Dianqian County King came again, holding a dead dog in his arms, saying that he had eaten the mushroom soup packaged and delivered by Yan's restaurant. They were eaten to death, and they must be taken to see the officials. Think about it, this mushroom soup was originally bought for their young lady, who had no appetite before feeding it to the dog. If you really let the lady eat, who will die now? The young lady in their family wants to be a maiden in the palace. Can you not report such a big matter to the official?
The butler didn't even look at the dilapidated front hall, and just let a few strong servants take the strict control of the karma away, and it really sounded the drum in front of the yamen. This morning, it was fake wine and poisonous soup, and the noise was so big, the reputation of Yan's restaurant was completely ruined. Even if Yan Langqing is spoiled again, the emperor can still reprimand Weiyuanhou and Dianqianjun for her little royal cook? Can you clarify the rumors to the people in Beijing? impossible!
Lin Lao Er squatted at the door of the store with her head in her arms, a little bit weeping.
