The next morning, the sky was just bright and clear.

Lin Haoran walked out of the restaurant alone. There were few pedestrians on the street, and the buildings in the distance were surrounded by frost and mist. He stepped on the blue bricks stained with morning dew and walked east along Qingyun Street, walking on the somewhat historical road.

The stone hole bridge.

Most ancient cities were built near water, and Shicheng, a small county town, is no exception. It relies on a river named Lianjiang, and introduces the water from the Lianjiang River into the moat, and then turns back and forth in the moat.

Although the weather was still early, the hard-working women had already arrived at the riverside early to wash and pound rice. They were chatting about something interesting and suddenly burst into laughter.

Fog curled up on the river in the distance, and a bamboo cut seemed to be coming through the fog. An old man stuck his bamboo pole vigorously into the water. Two cormorants standing on the bamboo raft screamed happily a few times, and suddenly disappeared under the water.

.

Lin Haoran stood on the bridge, bathing in the humid morning breeze, and enjoying the beauty of this ancient city in the early morning. The air was very fresh, even though it smelled like grass with the scent of nature.

After getting off the bridge, he did not return the same way, but walked along the river for a short distance, and then turned into a slightly lively street. The street was filled with busy figures, and several food stalls floated up.

The fragrance smells good, and white mist is emitting from the iron pot.

Lin Haoran chose an old husband and wife team and ordered a plate of pork cheong fun, but he didn't know whether it was a complimentary or a pairing. When the boss served wontons, he also gave a bowl of pickles.

The chee cheong fun noodles are as thin as paper, and you can clearly see the shrimp filling inside. With the owner's homemade ingredients, you can eat a large portion in one bite, and the sauce is fragrant. The pickles are not salty and are very tasty.

Crisp and crunchy.

So delicious!

Lin Haoran couldn't help but licked his chopsticks in the end, feeling like he still had something to eat, as if he could have another dish.

After entering this era, he found that his appetite had increased a lot, but he also learned to be moderate, because he knew that food was hard to come by, so he left the money and left.

He left the street, found a direction, and headed back towards the half restaurant.

The county examination has been scheduled for the 15th of this month, and now there are only a few days left, so today he not only needs to find an inn to stay, but more urgently is to resolve the issue of guarantee settlement.

When we returned to the restaurant, a ray of golden morning sun shone on the street, and another layer of gold was paved in front of the restaurant.

Huh?

Lin Haoran suddenly saw a sedan parked in front of the restaurant. A thin butler lifted the red curtain, and a fat waiter squeezed out with difficulty.

I have seen a lot of fat people in this era, but I have never met one who reached his level. This member was about forty years old, with a beardless face, a drooping chin, and his facial features were hidden by the fat on his face.

Like a clown.

"Master, be careful!" The tail of the sedan was raised high, and the thin butler stretched out his hand to help him step out slowly, for fear of disturbing his feet.

As the fat man walked out of the sedan, the four sedan bearers crawled to the ground tiredly and seemed unwilling to move any more.

The fat man turned a blind eye, and with the support of the thin butler, he slowly walked up the steps towards the door of the restaurant with his splayed legs.

"Get out, you are not welcome here!"

But at this moment, a shout came from inside, it was Nie Yunzhu's voice.

The thin butler tried his best to hold the fat man who almost fell down, and immediately pointed inside and retorted: "Don't be rude to my master. Believe it or not, I will destroy your shop?"

Nie Yunzhu had just sent Xiaoliu out, and now she was the only one left in the restaurant. Facing such a threat, her eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness, but the door latch in her hand was really not lethal.

The fat man was a smart man. He rolled his small eyes and secretly gave the thin butler a look. The thin butler immediately became more serious and said: "There have been many fires in the city recently. If you make my master unhappy, don't do it."

No wonder this place will be reduced to ashes!"

This is undoubtedly a naked threat!

Nie Yunzhu's body trembled slightly. Because of the previous fire at Yunxiao Restaurant, many people speculated that it was this member Chen who was responsible for it. If he was really offended now, would this person really set fire to his restaurant? This matter is really unpredictable.

.

When Chen Yuanwai saw that the fire was almost done, he was about to stand up and scold the butler, but he made a fool of himself.

At this moment, a scholar came over like a gust of wind and bumped into him, almost causing him to fall down. The housekeeper hurriedly supported him.

But just when he stood firm, he saw a handsome scholar, and Nie Yunzhu's face clearly lit up with joy, and he immediately wanted to tear the scholar into pieces.

Lin Haoran walked up to Nie Yunzhu, handed over three hot fried rice dumplings and said, "This is the breakfast I brought for you, eat it while it's hot!" Seeing the worry in her eyes, he comforted her again: "It's okay.

, there I am!”

After saying that, he gave him something and turned around. His eyes were as sharp as a sword.

When he had dinner with Xiaoqi last night, he learned more about the restaurant. The decline of this restaurant had many factors, but the culprit was none other than Chen Yuanwai in front of him.

Chen Yuanwai had just built a large restaurant called "Fugui" on Qingyun Street. As soon as it opened, he launched a thunderous offensive on half of the restaurant. First, he invited famous chefs from other places, and then deliberately raised the price of the food.

She suppressed her very low, and then used Nie Yunzhu to kill her husband on their wedding day to make a big fuss.

It was under this kind of suppression that the business of half the restaurant plummeted, and Nie Yunzhu's father became seriously ill as a result. But he didn't expect that today he would be bullied.

"Boy, I advise you not to mind your own business, otherwise..." The thin butler naturally understood what the master was thinking, and immediately jumped out and warned him viciously.

But before he could finish his words, he slapped him across the face.

"you……"

Suddenly the whole place fell silent. No one could have imagined that this frail scholar would choose to take action directly. Even Nie Yunzhu opened his mouth slightly at this time and looked at Lin Haoran in disbelief.

"Otherwise what will happen? Tell me? Let's see who you can threaten!" Lin Haoran was a head taller than the thin butler, and slapped him again. The butler covered his face with his hands, facing such an unreasonable scholar.

, how dare he say harsh words.

But Chen Yuanwai's face was as dark as water. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. This person was too arrogant. He immediately snorted: "Little lady, originally I didn't plan to take this thing out now, so as not to hurt our family."

Kind, but your friend is too ignorant!"

Lin Haoran immediately rolled his eyes. It was clear that this guy was here to cause trouble today, and he had no choice but to use his trump card. But at this time, he did not forget to sow discord between him and Nie Yunzhu.

"You borrowed a total of 20 taels of silver from Jiangji Medicine Shop, and now they have transferred the IOU to me! In other words, you owe me a total of 20 taels of silver!" Chen Yuanwai took out a few IOUs and showed her pride.

typical.

When Nie Yunzhu heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he finally understood why Jiangji Herbal Medicine Shop could always get credit. It turned out that this was the trick. Previously, they said it was because of their father's friendship, but now it seems that all this is a conspiracy.

"Since ancient times, repaying debts is a matter of course!" Chen Yuanwai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at the restaurant and said: "I don't think you can come up with so much cash, so why not transfer this restaurant to

I will definitely give you a real price."

"No! We will never sell this restaurant!" Nie Yunzhu responded immediately, staring at him and shouting.

The thin housekeeper stood up properly again and regained his arrogance. He covered his face with one hand and pointed at her and said: "It's not up to you! If you don't want to pay back my master, then we will forcefully take over the building. Even if we sue the government, it will be us.

Zhanli!"

When Nie Shuangzhu heard this, she was so angry that her body trembled slightly and she bit her lower lip tightly. This was her father's hard work. If she sold it now, her father's condition would inevitably worsen.

It's just that where did she get twenty taels of silver now? Now she doesn't even have one tael of silver on her.

The thin butler glanced at his master, with an ambiguous smile on his face and said: "However, if you agree to be my master's concubine, then we will all be a family! The twenty-tael debt will naturally be forgiven, and we will

The master will also help cure your father's illness, and will also prepare a generous betrothal gift!"

Tuqiong saw that this official was not only planning on the restaurant, but also on Nie Yunzhu's beauty, and he came prepared this time.
Chapter completed!
