Chapter 54

After the meal, the pickled fish and fish were all eaten, and even the soup was used by the men of the Xu family to make rice.

Su Chenyu said, "Did you invent Qibao's pickled fish? The taste is really unique."

Qibao didn't want to explain so much, so he admitted it shamelessly and said, "Yes, I just felt that the way of eating fish before was too monotonous and the fishy smell was strong, so I improved the method."

Su Chenyu spoke again, "Then can you sell the prescription to Zuixianlou? How about I pay 80 taels?"

Qibao said: "Young Master Su can give this recipe to you because of our relationship, but I got the ingredients for making fish accidentally on the mountain. I don't know if they are available elsewhere."

Su Chenyu said, "You are talking about that round thing, right? Why does it look familiar to me? It turns out that it can also be used as a condiment. It is usually used as a spice." Qibao was surprised. It turned out that in ancient times, Sichuan peppercorns were used as spices. in use.

Without saying a word, Qibao wrote the pickled fish recipe on the paper and handed it to Su Chenyu and said, "Mr. Su, this is the pickled fish recipe. I gave it to you. Now we are considered friends and we will cooperate in the future." , consider this as a gift from me."

Su Chenyu said, "Thank you very much, Sister Qibao. If I'm not here for anything in the future, you can go to Zuixian Tower to find shopkeeper Tong. If you can do it, you won't refuse." After lunch, Su Chenyu returned to town with the guards. Only Jingchen and his two secret guards were left.

After getting along for a few days, she and Jing Chen became much more familiar than they did at the beginning. Qibao originally thought that Jing Chen was not very fond of talking by nature, but now she discovered that Jing Chen's temperament was like this. Not only did he sometimes take the initiative to talk to her, although He doesn't say much, but he doesn't feel as difficult to get along with as he did at first, and he also helps the Xu family with simple things. Therefore, the Xu family likes him very much.Except for the younger brothers, who were a little unhappy because they felt that this person was always with their sister, they felt a little sour in their hearts, wondering whether their sister would like Jingchen instead of themselves in the future.

Today is the last day of high-temperature virus disinfection in the greenhouse. Qibao distributed all the prepared seeds to prepare for subsequent sowing. He also added some spiritual spring water to the water for watering the vegetables. According to the ratio of one to ten, it cannot be allowed to Vegetables grow too fast.

During the time since Jingchen lived in the Xu family, his health has become better than before, and his internal strength has also improved a lot. These are all changes brought about by the water the Xu family drank. He never knew where the water came from. Where did it come from? No one at home was fetching water, but the water seemed to be inexhaustible. Even the secret guard around him was in much better health than before.

Today Su Chenyu came to Xu's house and brought back a piece of news. He took the pickled fish recipe back to the restaurant. The next day he added the pickled fish dish to the menu. This was the first time the guests heard the name. I ordered a plate out of curiosity, and the taste overwhelmed many customers. The dish of pickled fish became very popular, and there was an endless stream of people eating pickled fish in the past few days.

Listening to Su Chenyu's narration, Qibao was all expected and was not surprised. Then Su Chenyu seemed to have remembered something and changed the subject, "But the day after I returned to the restaurant, it was lunch time. Someone actually sneaked into the well in the backyard and tried to pour rat poison into the well, but was caught by the waiter in the restaurant.

Qibao asked in surprise, "Do you know who did it?"

Su Chenyu said, "I don't know. The man said that someone found him and gave him 20 taels of silver. He didn't want to do such a thing at the time, but the mother of the person who gave the medicine was ill and had no money to see a doctor, so he He was about to die, so he gritted his teeth and collected the money and decided to take a risk, but it didn't succeed. Ever since Yipinxian's incident happened, shopkeeper Tong specially arranged for people to watch in secret day and night. I didn't expect that someone would really do this. So bold."

Qibao already had a guess in his mind. It must be the first-grade fresh dog that jumped over the wall in a hurry, so he said, "I already have a guess in my mind. It is probably the work of a colleague. This rat poison is poison and can kill people. Once the Zuixian Tower comes out, If it kills people, I guess this restaurant won’t be able to open in the future.”

Su Chenyu said, "You and I have thought of it together. It is probably a fresh and dried one, but we haven't found any evidence yet." Qibao said, "I wonder what is the relationship between Mr. Su and the magistrate of Yamen?"

Su Chenyu said, "The county magistrate of Huamen Town is quite good. He is upright and has always been conscientious in his work. I know him well."

Qibao said, "That's good. Although we don't have evidence to prove that he asked someone to do the drugging, I do have evidence that he did another bad thing. Once we hand this evidence to the Yamen, his crime will be confirmed, and the restaurant will also be convinced." Don’t even think about driving anymore.”

Su Chenyu said: "What evidence? Show it to me and let me see."

Qibao didn't hesitate. He went back to his room to cover up, and took out the pile of letters in the space and gave them to Su Chenyu.

Su Chenyu read it and said, "I see. It seems that the shopkeeper of Yipinxian has done something wrong. I will send someone to deliver this letter to the county magistrate now, and then send someone to keep an eye on Yipinxian."

Qibao smiled and said, "It's just right. That Yipinxian is very suitable for us to open a barbecue restaurant." Everyone understood what Qibao meant and smiled at each other tacitly.

The next day, Mr. Xu took his family to the greenhouse field. Because today was the day to scatter seeds, Qibao entered a greenhouse. The temperature inside was much warmer than outside. A total of four ridges were made. Qibao planned to build a greenhouse. Grow one vegetable and get a total of twelve vegetables.

A greenhouse is really not small. It requires six or seven people to manage it and distribute the seeds. The villagers are all busy. One digs a hole with a hoe, another sprinkles the seeds, and finally waters them. They are all farmers. I am used to doing these things, and my movements are fast and skillful.

The adults of the Xu family are all helping to plant the seeds earlier and feel at ease earlier. Other idle women in the village also come to help.

Mrs. Wang shouted, "Thank you all, aunts and daughters-in-law, for coming to help. We will still pay you for what you did today. At the end of the month, the wages will be calculated together. Everyone will stay here for lunch."

The aunt smiled and said, "Where do you need wages? Your family can allow our men to work in your house and take care of food. We are here to help today. How can we ask for wages? Besides, we are helping our men and My son’s job is just to make it easier for them and finish the work at hand as soon as possible!”

"Yes, yes! How can I ask for wages?" "Yes, Aunt Xu, I just help my man, and I am idle at home anyway!" the women in the village said.

Mrs. Wang said, "Look at how nice the wives we, the men in Xujiacun, have gotten. We all feel sorry for our men. Our neighbors are harmonious, and Xujiacun will get better and better in the future. However, we should not shirk the issue of wages. We cannot let everyone It’s all for nothing, that’s it.” Everyone had no choice but to agree with a smile, lamenting that the Xu family was now rich and still as kind as before.
