The next morning, the sky was just bright.

Lin Haoran walked out of the restaurant alone, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the buildings in the distance were haunted by frost and fog. He stepped on the green bricks stained with morning dew, walked along Qingyun Street to the east, and walked onto the historical stone hole bridge.

In ancient times, most cities were built by water, and the small county town of Shicheng was no exception. It follows a river called Lianjiang, directs the water of Lianjiang River into the moat, and then turns back and forth in the moat.

Although the weather was still early, the industrious women had already come to the riverside to wash the laundry and rice, and they were chatting about some interesting things, and several women suddenly burst into laughter.

The mist on the river in the distance was curling, a bamboo felling seemed to come in the mist, an old man with a penny forcefully inserted into the water, two cormorants standing on the bamboo row screamed happily a few times, and suddenly went into the bottom of the water and disappeared.

Lin Haoran stood on the bridge, bathed in the morning breeze with moisture, and appreciated the beauty of the early morning in this ancient city. The air is very fresh, and even the smell is the smell of grass that sticks to the scent of nature.

Coming down from the bridge, he did not go back the way he came, but followed the river for a short distance before turning into a slightly lively street. The streets are bustling with busy figures, with the smell wafting from a few food stalls and a white mist rising from a mouthful of iron pots.

Lin Haoran chose an elderly husband and wife stall and ordered a plate of pork rice rolls, but he didn't know whether to give it away or match it, and the boss gave him a bowl of pickles when he sent the wonton.

The skin of pork rice rolls is as thin as paper, and you can clearly see the shrimp filling inside, with the owner's homemade ingredients, you can eat a large section in one bite, and the sauce is fragrant, the pickles are not salty, very crispy, and the bite is rattling.

It's delicious!

Lin Haoran couldn't help licking the chopsticks in the end, and there was a feeling that he couldn't get enough of it, and it seemed that he could have another plate.

After entering this era, he found that the amount of food had increased a lot, but he also learned moderation, because he knew that food was not easy to come by, so he left the money and left.

Leaving the street, I made a direction and headed back to the half restaurant.

The time for the county test has been set for the fifteenth of this month, and now there are only a few days left, so today he not only has to find an inn to live in, but also urgently solves the matter of settling the guarantee.

When I returned to the restaurant, a golden morning sun sprinkled on the street, and a layer of gold was paved in front of the restaurant.

Hey?

Lin Haoran suddenly saw a sedan chair stop in front of the restaurant, a thin butler pulled up the red curtain, and a fat outsider squeezed out of it with difficulty.

I've seen a lot of fat people in this era, but I haven't touched any of them to his level. This man is in his early forties, with a beardless face, a drooping chin, and his facial features are covered by the fat flesh on his face like a clown.

"Master, be careful!" The tail of the sedan chair was high, and the thin butler reached out to help him step out slowly, for fear of mixing his feet.

As the fat man walked out of the sedan chair, the four sedan chair people crawled to the ground tiredly, and they didn't seem to want to move anymore.

The fat man turned a blind eye, walked on his figure-eight legs, and with the help of the thin butler, slowly walked up the steps and walked towards the door of the restaurant.

"Get out, you're not welcome here!"

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

The thin housekeeper held the fat man who almost fell, and immediately pointed inside and shot back: "Hugh is rude to my master, believe it or not, I smashed your shop?" ”

Nie Yunzhu just sent Xiao Liuzhi out, and now she is the only one left in the restaurant, facing such a threat, her eyes are both angry and unwilling, but holding the door in her hand is really not lethal.

The fat man is a fine person, and his small eyes turned around, and secretly gave the thin butler a corner of his eye, and the thin butler immediately intensified and said: "Recently, there have been fires in many places in the city, if you make my master unhappy, don't blame this place for turning into ashes!" ”

This is undoubtedly a naked threat!

Nie Yunzhu's body trembled slightly, because of the previous fire in Yunxiao Restaurant, many people speculated that this Chen member did it. Now, if he is really offended, this person will not really set fire to his restaurant, this thing is really unpredictable.

Chen Yuanwai looked at the heat and was about to stand up and scold the housekeeper, singing a white face.

At this moment, a scholar came over like a gust of wind, and his body hit him, so that he was almost about to fall, and the butler hurriedly held him up.

It's just that he just stood firm, but he saw that it was a handsome scholar, and Nie Yunzhu's face was obviously overjoyed, and he immediately wanted to tear this scholar apart.

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

After saying that, he shoved it into him, and then turned around, and suddenly his eyes were as sharp as a sword.

When he had dinner with Xiao Qi last night, he learned more about the restaurant. The decline of this restaurant is multifaceted, but the culprit is Chen Yuanwai in front of him.

Chen Yuanwai had just built a big restaurant called "Fugui" on this Qingyun Street, and at the beginning of its opening, he launched a thunderous offensive against half of the restaurants. first invited a celebrity chef from other places, then deliberately kept the price of the meal very low, and then used Nie Yunzhu to kill her husband on the day of her wedding to make a big fuss.

It was under the suppression of these means that the business of half of the restaurant plummeted, and Nie Yunzhu's father became seriously ill because of it. But I didn't want to, today it turned out to be a bully.

"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise you will ......" The thin butler naturally understood the master's thoughts, and immediately jumped out and warned viciously.

It's just that before he finished his words, he "snapped" and slapped him.

"You ......"

Suddenly, the audience was silent, and no one could have imagined that this weak scholar would choose to do it directly. Even if it was Nie Yunzhu, the corners of his mouth opened slightly at this time, and he looked at Lin Haoran incredulously.

"What else would have happened? Say? I'll 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 both hands, in the face of such an unreasonable scholar, where did he dare to say cruel words.

Chen Yuanwai's face sank like water, this dog still has to look at the owner, this person is too arrogant, and immediately snorted coldly: "Little lady, I didn't plan to take out this thing now, it saved the harmony of our two families, but your friend is too ignorant!" ”

Lin Haoran immediately rolled his eyes, this product was clearly here to find trouble today, and he had to find a killer weapon, but at this time, he didn't forget to provoke the relationship between him and Nie Yunzhu.

"You gave a total of 20 taels of silver on credit in the Jiangji Medicinal Herb 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 raised her proudly.

When Nie Yunzhu heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he finally understood why Jiang Ji Medicinal Herb Shop could always pay on credit, it turned out that the cat was tired here. Earlier they said that it was for the sake of their father's friendship, but now it seems that it is all a conspiracy.

"Since ancient times, this debt repayment is justified!" The corners of Chen Yuanwai's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at this restaurant and said: "I don't think you can take out so much cash, so it is better to transfer this restaurant to me and definitely give you a real price." ”

"Nope! We resolutely don't sell this restaurant! Nie Yunzhu immediately responded, staring at him and said loudly.

The thin housekeeper stood up again, regained his arrogance, covered his face with one hand and pointed at her with the other, and said, "This is not up to you!" If there is nothing to do to return my master, then we will forcibly take over the building, even if it is sued to the government, we will take advantage of it! ”

When Nie Shuangzhu heard this, his body trembled slightly with anger, and he bit his lower lip tightly. This is her father's painstaking work, and if she sells it now, her father's condition will inevitably worsen.

It's just that she has gotten together twenty taels now, and now she doesn't even have a tael of silver on her.

The thin housekeeper glanced at his master, and said with an ambiguous smile on his face: "However, if you agree to be a concubine for my master, then we will all be a family!" The debt of these twenty taels will naturally be waived, and our master will help cure your father's illness, and he will also prepare a rich dowry! ”

Seeing that the poor dagger saw that this outsider was not only plotting against this restaurant, but also plotting against Nie Yunzhu's appearance, and he came prepared this time.

The fat man looked at Nie Yunzhu expectantly, and Nie Yunzhu's face was already as pale as earth, but he didn't expect to face the most difficult choice in his life immediately.

It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat!

Ye Wuhen looked at the cheap smile outside the fat man, and couldn't help but sigh.
