Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 269 Pickpockets
"Sun." Ji Xun replied lightly.

There was silence in the audience, and someone realized it after hearing the word, and nodded suddenly.

County magistrate Sun was surprised for a moment, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly read again, "Master barber, type an idiom."

"Convince people with reason." Shen Yuan replied.

"One, make an idiom.

Ji Xun: "One after another."

After reading all the thirty puzzles, Ji Xun and Shen Yuan answered them alternately, without thinking or hesitating, and they didn't make a wrong answer.

County Magistrate Sun's face was filled with disbelief, most of him were confused after reading, never thought that Ji Xun and Shen Yu'an could answer each other fluently.

"This, this is what you call the Orion and the Peasant Woman? Impossible!" Dean Yao of Qinglin Academy shook his head in disbelief, "It's amazing! I'm ashamed of myself!"
There was no sound in the audience, Zhao Mo was also dumbfounded on the stage, completely unexpected.

"Mr. Zhao, do you have any questions? Can we present the award now?" County Magistrate Sun also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wiped his sweat and looked at Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo was speechless, and snorted coldly, "Bring up the prizes. But County Magistrate Sun, I have something to do and don't have time to give them prizes, so you can see." Then he swept Ji Xun with the corner of his mouth. The two glanced at each other and left angrily.

Ji Xun smiled at everyone: "My wife is good at guessing lantern fans, and her cooking skills are even better. After six days, "Fengming Restaurant" will open. You can go and try it. It will surprise you even more than guessing lantern fans today. '
As soon as the words came out, everyone was very excited

"Tsk tsk, this couple is really powerful! It seems that they are also really capable people, and they won't lie."

"Isn't it? I really underestimated them just now, and I feel guilty for calling them worthless."

"There's nothing to feel guilty about. We'll take care of their business when 'Fengming Restaurant' opens. The taste will definitely be as they say, and we won't be disappointed.

"Go, go, go, you have to go, you have to go early, the first ten tables are [-]% off!"
"Then it's settled like this. I'll treat you then."

The people who were still sneering at Ji Xun and Shen Yu'an just now, suddenly turned the wind and supported them.

At this moment, several clerks from Zuixian Tower came up with prizes, and Shen Yuan and Ji Xun looked at each other.

Shen Yuan smiled brightly at everyone, and said loudly: "Dear neighbors and distinguished guests from afar, my Fengming Restaurant is scheduled to officially open on the 21st of the first lunar month. On the opening day, there will be a lucky draw. You can get a chance to draw a lottery, and these things will be used as prizes for everyone to draw, and everyone is welcome to come."

The people in the audience were shocked when they heard it. Do you know how rich the first prize is this time?
Famous calligraphy and paintings, high-end tea sets, and exquisite decorations are all expensive. They were all specially brought by Zhao Mo from Lingzhou City, and now they all fall into Shen Yu'an's hands.

Originally trying to prevent Shen Yuan's restaurant from opening, instead it turned into adding luster to her restaurant. Zhao Mo would probably be pissed and vomit blood when he learned that Shen Yuan gave away his prizes to customers.

"Magistrate Sun." Ji Xun looked at County Magistrate Sun, who was still sweating coldly on the tip of his nose, "Is it possible to leave these prizes with you for now?" , wouldn't it be called Fengming Restaurant' breaking promise?
"Okay, of course." County magistrate Sun nodded hurriedly, and ordered the yamen servant to pick up the things and put them away properly.

After Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun walked off the stage, County Magistrate Sun gave another speech, which won a wave of hearts, and then the crowd gradually dispersed.

The activity of guessing lantern fans on the Shangyuan Festival ended successfully in this way, and Shen Yuan and Ji Xun were the biggest beneficiaries of this activity. The reputation of the restaurant was spread, and there were so many prizes, so happy.

Ji Feng woke up from a nap, and yelled in a daze that he wanted to eat grilled lamb chops. The little guy had been thinking about it for a day, and he was still drooling in his dream.

"Let's go, take Ah Feng to eat grilled lamb chops." Ji Xun put Ji Feng on his back, hugged the little guy with one arm and held Shen Yu'an in the other, and followed the crowd to the north of the city.

Shen Xingwang deeply understood what Zhang Neng said when he left, earn more money to marry a wife, and if you have a wife, you don't have to envy Brother Ji Xun.

The north of the city is where barbarians from the Western Regions gather, snake charmers, fire breathers, and fireball dancers
Seeing these gorgeous jugglers, Ji Feng suddenly came to his senses, Ji Xun's tall stature put him on his neck, for the little guy to have a good time watching.

As Shen Xingwang said, the stall with the most people and the busiest crowds is the grilled lamb chops stall over there.

"It smells pretty good." Shen Yu'an took a sip of her saliva, hugged her stomach and felt a little hungry. She only had a bowl of Yuanxiao for dinner, and she finished digesting it now.

"Brother, grilled lamb chops~~ Ah Feng wants to eat grilled lamb chops." Ji Feng sniffed the aroma, no matter how wonderful the juggling performance was, he couldn't keep his gaze.

Ji Xun led the three of them to squeeze over there.

There are too many people, and people in ancient times didn't develop a good habit of queuing, and they all relied on their strength to squeeze.

After Ji Xun was squeezed out again and again, he was really at a loss, so he handed Ji Feng over to Shen Xingwang, and only managed to stand firm after putting on airs.

"Yuan, find a place with few people and wait, don't get separated." Ji Xun warned, submerged in the crowd.

Shen Yuan and Shen Xingwang took A Feng and found a corner with fewer people to wait.

In the crowded crowd, a slim and beautiful girl with a maid appeared in front of the grilled lamb chops booth.

"Miss, let's forget about so many people, we can't squeeze in."

The maidservant who spoke was named Rose, and the lady in Rose's mouth was Sun Mengmeng, the daughter of the new county magistrate Sun Deming.

Sun Mengmeng looked inside on tiptoe, and said: "But mother hasn't eaten anything for several days, so it's so rare that she wants to eat grilled lamb chops, no, I must buy it for her."

The two talked and squeezed in desperately.

Seeing that she was pretty, Shen Yuan couldn't help but look at her twice, and was about to look away when he suddenly saw two men with mouse heads approaching the girl, clamping her from left to right, and one of them held her hand. Reached out to the girl's purse.

Not good, pickpockets!
Shen Yuan also heard their conversation just now, and thought that if their purses were stolen, wouldn't they have no money to buy lamb chops and honor their sick mother?
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan quickly pushed through the crowd and walked towards them, pushing away the pickpocket who was about to steal her purse without hesitation.

"Sister, don't squeeze in, my brother is already queuing inside." She didn't know who this girl was, so she just randomly identified it to have an excuse to drive away the pickpocket and not let the pickpocket hold grudges.

No matter which era pickpockets are ganged, if you poke their tricks and get hated by them, you will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Sun Mengmeng also felt something strange, and when she turned her head, she saw two men with twinkling eyes walking away from her, realizing that she had encountered a pickpocket.

Feeling that the purse was still there, he hurriedly leaned into Shen Yuan's ear and said gratefully, "Thank you."
