Chapter 276 Sauerkraut and Beef Stew (3)
As Liang Hongjin sighed, the thin and translucent beef was put into the pot. As soon as it was put into the pot, the color changed from red to light at a speed visible to the naked eye. The time between raw and cooked was only a few seconds!
Liang Hongjin couldn't help but sigh and said: "You cooks are really good at knife skills, no worse than those of us who are used to using knives and guns!"
Wen Mingtang couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this. He transferred the sauerkraut and beef stew into a small casserole, garnished it with Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers and minced garlic, and waited for the last spoonful of hot oil before the meal.
…
Wen Mingtang's lunch was almost ready, but the confrontation in Qiandeng's shop was completely deadlocked.
The plaque with the words "Qiandeng Shop" gifted by the late emperor hangs crookedly in front of the shop door. The shop, which is usually luxurious and grand, and only wealthy people are not allowed to enter, is also like the crooked plaque.
It was a mess, and the shopkeepers and guards who had resisted first were pinned to the ground and unable to move!
In the lobby, the hands of Jiang Chengzu, the young master of the Jiang family, were cut behind his back, and he looked embarrassed. What was left beside him was a jade-colored carving knife!
Although he was wearing a craftsman's gray and black apron, and his hands were cut behind his back, he looked quite embarrassed, but his handsome features still looked quite outstanding in the crowd.
No wonder even the paranoid and selfish Miss Yuan San is fascinated by his appearance and has refused to bite him out until now!
Liu Yuandong and Bai Zhu lowered their heads and looked at the Jiang family's young master, saying: "Jiang Young Master, say it!"
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Young Master Jiang lost his calmness when he was summoned to Dali Temple for questioning, and there was a hint of irritation in his voice. "These adults, even though they are from Dali Temple, forced their way into Qianqian for no reason."
"Lamp shop, even if we, the Jiang family, have exhausted our ancestral property, we still want to sue the saints and ask them what they really want."
I really can’t cry without seeing the coffin!
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, Miss Yuan San is obsessed with you and has never betrayed you," Bai Zhu shook his head and said, then squatted down, picked up the jade-colored carving knife, held it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, then said,
"Isn't Qian Deng Shop a maker of lanterns? How come Young Master Jiang, who inherited the ancestral business, started to carve tombstones?"
When Jiang Chengzu heard the words and was about to speak, he saw Bai Zhu take out a piece of paper from his arms and unfold it to Jiang Chengzu: "That day, I will invite Mr. Jiang to come and ask questions. Do you still recognize the testimony written by Mr. Jiang himself?"
Those testimonies were nothing more than Jiang Chengzu's testimonies about where he was and who he was with on the Mid-Autumn Festival. The testimonies themselves were all nonsense. Lin Fei asked, and he answered, while the little official standing aside explained the process of questioning the two.
After writing it, Jiang Chengzu was asked to copy it. What Bai Zhu was referring to was not the testimony itself, but... the handwriting.
"Is it you who carved the stone tablet with the words 'Linliuzhuang' in front of Linliuzhuang?" Bai Zhu said.
Jiang Chengzu's face froze, he opened his mouth, and subconsciously defended: "The handwriting... so what? I was the one who wrote those three words. There are many wealthy customers in my Qiandeng Shop, including the owner of Linliu Village, etc.
Rich and idle people also bought lanterns from my house, why not ask me to write these three words and help make a monument?"
"Just admit that you wrote these three words!" Liu Yuan on the side heard this and couldn't help but interrupt, sneered and said, "Young Master Jiang spent a lot of time on the color of the painting materials used for the three-character stone tablet in Linliuzhuang.
Spend less time!"
Jiang Chengzu, who was still defending a moment ago, suddenly turned pale.
Bai Zhu looked at Jiang Chengzu, whose face turned pale, and said: "The people behind you believe in this way, indulge in pleasure and sorcery. They are worthy of being a 'rich idler' who claims to be born noble. Even the materials used for sorcery are
You are more particular than ordinary people!"
"The Duo Dan Mine in the land of Ba Yue. In the past, the late emperor was obsessed with this way, so he found many rich and idle people from the clan to help mine the Dan Mine. The Dan Mine produced from one of the mines was of excellent quality and had a color like blood. It was called by these people
Blood mine! The late emperor also liked the ore in this blood mine the most, thinking that it was a divine stone. Due to the scarcity of its output, apart from the palace, only those in charge of the mine had access to this blood mine!
Bai Zhu said and looked at Jiang Chengzu, "How did Mr. Jiang get this blood ore?"
Liu Yuan on the side couldn't help it anymore and sneered: "It's because he is a pawn of those people!"
Jiang Chengzu was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Bai Zhu say again: "Don't bite out Li Wei. Li Wei came out to contact those gangsters. You came out to contact Miss Yuan San. Li Wei thought you were following his orders. But
Since you can get past him and get this blood ore, it shows that your status is the same as his in the eyes of those people!"
"Maybe it's not exactly the same! Compared to Li Wei, Mr. Jiang's sword is more popular with them, or it can be said that they are all practicing this kind of evil art!" Bai Zhu said, walking to Jiang Chengzu's side and placing the inscription.
On top of the knife and other tools, he found a jade-white stone with talismans engraved on it from a pile of carving tools, and said, "Since ancient times, black magic has always been indispensable for such rituals. Those people would not arrange such rituals.
Leave the matter to anyone you don’t trust, Mr. Jiang is just right!”
Jiang Chengzu's face turned paler, and when he was about to continue talking, he heard Bai Zhu say: "After the Yuan family turned against the Jiang family, it is not surprising that they started a water transport business based on Jiangling's terrain, but they suddenly switched from the lantern shop business to making Jisi tombstones.
Business, this change of career is too abrupt!"
That's not to say that you can't do Jisi business! But there are not many people involved in Jisi business, and because the doors in it are quite exclusive, even the swindlers like Master Lin Yuanguan need a guide.
Some people went to buy a few almanacs that were not passed down to others. The Yuan family was considered a wealthy family after all. A wealthy family suddenly changed its profession and became involved in such a business that it had never been involved in before. Moreover, it was a sinister thing that ordinary people avoided. Even if someone wanted to do it,
I'm afraid that many people will jump out and object, feeling that they don't understand and it's unlucky.
Therefore, the reaction of the brainless Yuan Er of the Yuan family is the reaction that ordinary people who are not exposed to this way should have.
"On the surface, the Yuan family has changed its business to the lantern shop business, while the Jiang family has always been in the lantern shop business," Bai Zhu said, shaking his head, "In fact, the opposite may be true. On the surface, the Jiang family has always been in the lantern shop business.
The Jiang family is the real culprit that leads the Yuan family to engage in vicious business!"
The pale-faced Jiang Chengzu seemed to calm down after hearing this. He sneered, looked at the two of them, and said, "Where's the evidence?"
"The words of the two adults are unfounded. You can't just open your mouth and convict people!" Jiang Chengzu said, "Although blood mines are rare, if I bribe those who guard the mines, steal some, and go from Linliu
Couldn’t the owner of the village earn more money?”
