"Let me go, I don't want boiling water poured on me."
The middle-aged man began to struggle vigorously.
The people watching the excitement around him were thinking about the middle-aged man's strong posture when he avoided the water just now, and the obvious guilt on his face now. How could they not understand it.
I'm afraid the father and son are here to blackmail.
The young man also reacted at this time. He opened his mouth to say something, but Shen Zhiyao said first:
"Old man, if you are sick, you must treat it. You see how worried your son is about you. Stop making trouble. Just splash it to make your son feel at ease."
At this time, Chen Cuihua came out with boiling water.
The burnt ground on the back of the middle-aged man's hand was still hurting. When he saw the basin of boiling water, he jumped in fear.
"Please let me go. I'm not his father. If you come to him for trouble, he hired me to blackmail you as his father."
"I'm just telling you, how could there be something wrong with the crayfish that Shen ate up? I've eaten it several times."
"These two are really hateful. Is my boss easy to bully at such a young age?"
"Quick, report to the official. We must arrest them and report to the official."
Seeing that the truth became clear, people began to speak out against the two men.
The young man saw something was wrong and ran away.
Shen Zhiyao let go of the middle-aged man and quickly grabbed the young man's arm.
The young man suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Shen Zhiyao with fierce eyes.
However, before he could touch Shen Zhiyao, his arm was removed with a click, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"ah!"
The young man's face was twisted in pain.
Shen Zhiyao asked Chen Cuihua to get a rope, tied the young man and the middle-aged man together, and took them to report to the police.
The people watching the excitement gradually dispersed.
When they arrived at the county government office, Shen Zhiyao happened to meet Gan Lixin coming back from outside.
She handed the two people to Gan Lixin and told them what happened.
Gan Lixin said that someone would be sent to inform her of the results of the trial.
Shen Zhiyao went back with peace of mind and continued to make Qiuli ointment while waiting for news.
She didn't wait long at home when a government official came to her door and told her the results of the trial.
"The young man's family sells pottery bowls. Their family was originally relatively wealthy, but that man fell in love with the oiran of Yihonglou, and he spent all the family's money on the oiran."
"His parents couldn't bear it and kicked him out of the house."
"He still wants to go to Yihonglou, but he has no money. Someone finds him and asks him to go to your restaurant every day to cause trouble. If your restaurant cannot be opened, give him money."
"This man thought that making trouble every day would delay him from going to Yihong Mansion to meet the oiran, so he found a beggar to go with him and wanted to blackmail the big one directly."
After hearing what the yamen servant said, Shen Zhiyao raised her eyebrows.
It's the oiran from Yihonglou again, Xiangxiang?
The previous owner of her Zhuangzi sold all the Zhuangzi just for the sake of the fragrance.
Now here comes another one who is almost spending all his money on her behalf.
"Who asked him to come to my restaurant to cause trouble?"
Shen Zhiyao is more concerned about this issue.
The officer said: "A man named Wang Da also runs a restaurant on the dock, not far from your restaurant at Dong Shen's house."
"His restaurant also sells various side dishes and rice. Ever since your Shen's Restaurant opened in Dong Shen's house and took away a lot of his business, he has been resentful of you."
Wang Da is the cousin of the young man who made trouble at Shen Zhiyao's restaurant today. After a lot of business in his restaurant was taken away by Shen Shiguang, he also tried to make crayfish and snails, but failed. He couldn't even swallow it himself.
Seeing that the number of diners in his restaurant was decreasing day by day, he thought about the opportunity when Luo's Restaurant was forced to resell, so he wanted to follow suit and find the young man to go to Shen's to eat and make fun.
Little did he know that the young man had his own ideas, so he directly found a "father" for himself and changed his plan.
"So that's it." Shen Zhiyao knew the restaurant the yamen officer was talking about.
"I wonder how Lord Gan punished Wang Da?"
Yamen servant: "Detention for half a month and twenty punishments with a cane."
After the yamen officer explained the situation, he went back to the yamen. Shen Zhiyao thought that only half a month of detention was a bit short.
After several days of cooking, Shen Zhiyao's Qiuli paste was finally ready.
She used a total of nearly 600 kilograms of pears to make 120 bottles of autumn pear ointment, one bottle is about half a kilogram.
When boiling Qiuli paste, she added a little spiritual spring water to each pot.
After boiling Qiuli ointment, Shen Zhiyao gave Shen Baiqiu five bottles and asked him to give them to Zhao Juren to take home to Du Shi and Zhao Rufang when he went to private school.
In addition, she gave Lin Suxin, Chen Cuihua and Madam Wu five bottles each, and also took out ten bottles for Chen Hu to take home to Aunt Chen when he came.
Each time she gave it to someone, she told how to eat Qiuli paste.
In the end, she took five bottles to Pei Lingxuan's house.
After receiving her Qiuli ointment, Pei Lingxuan immediately asked Xiaocui to deliver it to her mother.
After leaving Pei Lingxuan's place, Shen Zhiyao turned to the market, ready to find out where she could buy some fish fry.
The house on her farm has not yet been built, but the pond has long been dug.
But before she reached the market, she suddenly saw a familiar figure on the street.
It's Shen Sili.
Did he come to see Yihonglou Oiran again?
Even if we don’t have that stuff, why are we still so hopeless?
Or is it true love?
With an indifferent glance, Shen Zhiyao continued to move forward.
Here, Shen Sili came to Yihong Building again.
When the Madam Wang of Yihonglou heard about his arrival, he ordered someone to drive him out as usual.
A girl who looked like a little maid ran to the madam.
"Mom, our girl asked Mr. Shen to come up."
"He's not a man anymore. What else do you want from him? He doesn't have much money. I wonder what Xiangxiang is thinking." Madam Wang muttered and did not stop him.
Shen Sili followed the little maid, and soon arrived at an elegantly decorated room in Yihong Building.
In the room, a woman in red clothes sat in front of the mirror. She stretched out her slender, boneless hands, picked up a beaded hairpin, and was about to put it on her head.
This woman is about eighteen years old. She is a beautiful woman with upturned fox eyes, an oval face, and skin as smooth as gelatin.
There is a peach blossom painted on her forehead, which matches her naturally charming face, making her look even more attractive.
"Xiangxiang." Shen Sili stepped forward quickly, grabbed her hand holding the beaded hairpin, and said tenderly: "Let me wear it for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Xiangxiang obediently placed the pearl hairpin in Shen Sili's hand.
After Shen Sili put the hairpin on Xiangxiang, he looked at Xiangxiang in the mirror and said with a fascinated look on his face: "It's so beautiful."
The corners of Xiangxiang's mouth turned up slightly, and her face continued to face the mirror, "Mr. Shen, I wonder why you came here today to ask for Xiangxiang?"
Shen Sili took out a money bag from his arms.
"Xiangxiang, I got some money again. After a while, I can redeem you."
Xiangxiang lowered her eyes and said in a weak and pitiful voice: "Mr. Shen, there are many people who want to redeem Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang is afraid that she will be forced to..."
"Xiangxiang, don't worry. Didn't you help me get to know Qu Yuanwai? Now that my sister has married Qu Yuanwai, I'm afraid I won't have any money."
Shen Sili's eyes were full of confidence.
