Chapter 116: The Famine Begins
Since the matter of Mongolian sweat medicine was so involved, Magistrate Zhang briefly gave up on running to Tang Yuchuan to show his courtesy, and only claimed to be ill.
However, Zhang Lian'er ran very diligently, but whenever she came to visit Tang Yuchuan, Yan Ruomeng was always there.
Over time, she developed a dislike for Yan Ruomeng.
That night, Yan Ruomeng was interviewed by Zhang Lian'er.
In the Liangzhou branch of Yan Ruomeng's Little Kitchen.
Zhang Lian'er took out a cloth bag and put it in front of Yan Ruomeng. There was something inside that jingled and made a pleasant sound.
"Manager Yan, keep the things here, and please leave Master Tang!"
That look was very similar to a familiar scene in Ba's novel.
It's just that there is no high-end coffee shop, only a small shabby house with oily smoke, and there is no overbearing rich woman, only an honest and upright young woman.
But let's just treat it as low-end. Yan Ruomeng wiped his hands on his apron before picking up the cloth bag.
At first, Yan Ruomeng happily opened the cloth bag and took inventory. After seeing that there were just some ordinary items inside, the smile on her face disappeared.
"It's just such a small thing, and it's not as much as the money Mr. Tang gave me. I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to it."
When Zhang Lian'er heard Yan Ruomeng's words, she was so shocked that her eyes were as big as broad beans.
"How much silver will Mr. Tang give you?"
Yan Ruo dreamed of his monthly income from the Lianlou district, stretched out a hand and compared the number, "About this amount."
Zhang Lian'er was surprised, "So many?"
"Otherwise? Tang Yu... Mr. Tang is a high-ranking official after all. He is definitely not stingy, so you'd better put your thoughts aside."
Seeing Zhang Lian'er stunned, Yan Ruomeng smiled and came to her side, "Actually, I think you are also a blessed person, why can't you think of falling in love with us adults? Even though he looks talented, he actually has countless peach blossoms, you want to marry him
Some of them are queuing up."
Although Yan Ruomeng had no favorable impression of Magistrate Zhang, she could not dislike Zhang Lian'er, perhaps because she was a foodie. In fact, if Zhang Lian'er was not Magistrate Zhang's daughter, the two of them might still be able to get along with each other.
Become friends.
It's not that she hasn't seen Zhang Lian'er's pursuit of Tang Yuchuan in the past few days, it's just that the girl has no means. Every time she comes, she can be dismissed by Tang Yuchuan with a few words. Worse still, she can't even see Tang Yuchuan, and then she is kidnapped by Yan Ruomeng
Let’s talk about Liangzhou food.
Perhaps Zhang Lian'er finally noticed something was wrong and thought of taking action against her.
Thinking that it was not easy for this girl, Yan Ruomeng sighed and took a plate of spicy chips from the stove, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will treat you to a plate of spicy chips. After eating this, you can leave immediately."
"
Zhang Lian'er was extremely depressed. Suddenly she smelled an unusually attractive spicy smell. She didn't care about her sadness. She picked up a large piece of spicy chips in one hand and started eating it from left to right, finishing the plate of spicy strips in a few clicks.
Yan Ruomeng was surprised by this person's speed. She could see that the other person was smiling, so she followed the lead.
"After eating this, forget about that person. Depending on your conditions, someone will definitely be willing to marry you."
Unexpectedly, determination appeared in Zhang Lian'er's eyes, "No, Manager Yan, you have strengthened my determination to marry Mr. Tang."
"Why?" Yan Ruomeng wondered. Could it be that she didn't bribe him enough?
"Only by marrying him can I taste your craftsmanship. Woohoo, what you cook is so delicious. I can eat these spicy strips for the rest of my life. Can Mr. Yan make me another one?" Zhang Lian'er said kindly.
He took Yan Ruomeng's hands.
Yan Ruomeng suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He used both hands to break away from the person in front of him and ran away.
What does it mean to set yourself on fire? Yan Ruomeng felt that he had set a wrong example.
In the next few days, when she heard Zhang Lian'er's voice, she was so frightened that she looked for a place to hide.
When Tang Yuchuan saw her like this, he happily told her about the retribution in this world.
Yan Ruomeng had to cook hot pot again before she bribed this person to help her.
Tang Yuchuan's method of helping people is also very unique, since everyone is in good health.
On the first day when the plan to get rid of Zhang Lian'er was launched, Tang Yuchuan took Yan Ruomeng to the Yamen to read the files on the Jiang He case.
"Jiang He, a person from Liangzhou, was caught stealing money from river workers. He committed suicide in Yuan County out of fear of crime. The people of Yuan County testified as follows..."
Yan Ruomeng was so exhausted that she simply slumped down on the ground and picked up another file. After reading it, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why are you so serious about the fraud? You read the confessions of six people in one breath, and they all used the same words. Tang Yuchuan, are they treating you like a fool?"
In this regard, Tang Yuchuan did not express anything. Instead, he smiled at her and said, "I knew it was fake. This is just a formality."
"So how long are you going to go through the motions?"
Tang Yuchuan looked outside the yamen, and Yan Ruomeng followed suit. On the distant mountain peak, another cloud had gathered at some point.
Then he heard Tang Yuchuan sigh, "It's almost over."
Soon, Yan Ruomeng knew what Tang Yuchuan's words meant. That afternoon, it started to rain heavily again in Liangzhou City.
Refugees from other counties ran to Liangzhou more and more desperately, but the guards outside Liangzhou still failed.
Refugees began to flow into Liangzhou in large numbers.
You can see scantily clad and emaciated refugees lying everywhere on the streets.
Yan Ruomeng just took one look at that scene and felt uncomfortable, with tears welling up in his eyes.
At that time, she went back to research what would be large, filling, and cheap.
This meal is not easy to make. Wait until the first pot of sweet potato porridge is cooked.
Zhang Lian'er's autumn breeze came over after smelling the smell.
Seeing that Yan Ruomeng was no longer hiding from her, Zhang Lianer walked up to her with a smile.
"Manager Yan, have you agreed to help me? I know you are a good person. What kind of food did we cook for Mr. Tang today?"
Yan Ruomeng felt heavy and ignored her.
Zhang Lian'er was confused, "Hey, why is it sweet potato? Isn't it used to feed pigs? Manager Yan, are you mistaken?"
Yan Ruomeng couldn't stand it at all because of her words. She picked up a spoon and pointed it at Zhang Lian'er and cursed, "Bah, bah, I think you are a pig. Get out of here if you don't understand."
Don't stop me from cooking porridge."
Zhang Lian'er lowered her head innocently and aggrievedly, "Isn't what I said the truth?"
"The truth is, there are so many refugees outside. If you go and look at them, they are so hungry that the flesh on their bodies can no longer be hung. When you lift their clothes, they are full of bones. Have you ever considered what they eat? And the sweet potatoes are eaten by pigs.
They don’t even have pig food to eat now.”
Yan Ruomeng was so angry that smoke started to appear on his head, and Zhang Lian'er was stunned.
"How could it be possible? My father said they could eat pork and game even if they didn't have rice. How could they be so hungry that they had no meat?"
