"Alright, let's go and prepare all the materials first." After the apprentices were dispersed, Qi Ling began to wash his hands and make xiaolongbao, chopped the pork filling to adjust the taste, and then took out the fermented dough, kneaded and exhausted, and kneaded it into smooth strips and divided into small balls.

Take a rolling pin to roll out the dough, put it in the meat filling, put it in a steamer covered with steaming cloth, eight cages, Qi Ling made five cages, and then when steaming, she made a big pot of vegetable porridge, which is sweet and suitable for Xiaolongbao.

Jiang Jing smelled the aroma wafting from the back kitchen, and his stomach was suddenly half empty, and he muttered, "It's so fragrant!" ”

"What a good person you said the shopkeeper Qi is, not only give us such a high monthly money, but also get up early in the morning to make breakfast for us, I have been running in the restaurant for so long, I have never seen a shopkeeper who is so diligent."

Jiang Jing nodded again and again: "Shopkeeper Qi is a good person!" My daughter-in-law asked me to repay them well. ”

"Yes, let's do a good job, didn't the shopkeeper Qi say, there will be dividends for doing well at the end of the year, I secretly asked the six sons, do you know how much they shared at the end of last year?"

Jiang Jing shook his head, Wang Xu stretched out three fingers and lowered his voice: "The red envelope alone is three taels of silver for one person!" Dividends are twenty taels per person! ”

Jiang Jing was stunned, this... That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

A child's tuition fee for half a year is three taels of silver, if he works hard, wouldn't he earn the tuition fees of several children in the family? !

Just when he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Qi Ling in the back kitchen shouted, "Let's all come and have breakfast!" I made xiao long bao and vegetable porridge today. ”

When Qingyu Kankan rushed to the shop, he found that the big guys were sitting and eating breakfast, and when Qi Ling saw her, he hurriedly shouted, "Qingyu, the porridge will be served by yourself in the back." ”

"Well, I'll go now."

I don't know what's going on today, obviously I go to bed on time every day, but this time I overslept all of a sudden.

The refreshing vegetable porridge with the fresh and fragrant xiaolongbao is indeed a good match, and after breakfast, Qingyu pulled Qi Ling aside and complained, "Why didn't you wake me up today!" ”

It's a shame to oversleep or something, and if you let adults know that you've made such a mistake... It's a shame!

Qi Ling smiled, "What does it matter, yesterday you helped me drive away those ruffians and let you sleep more, and you can sleep as long as you want in the future, don't worry." ”

"That's not going to work!" Qingyu refused, "I am your personal maidservant, I must follow you every step of the way." ”

"Oh, this is not the capital, so don't be so serious." As he was talking, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and several officials in official uniforms appeared at the door of the store.

Qi Ling was stunned, and everyone who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks was also stunned.

The official at the head is a handsome young man, and he looks a little charming with a saber at his waist.

He walked into the shop and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Qi Ling, and asked, "You are the shopkeeper of Qi?" ”

Qi Ling nodded, "I just, don't you know what happened to the official master this time?" ”

"That's right, do you know what happened to Madame Yun's shop next door?"

Qi Ling was a little puzzled, "I know a little bit, I saw it when I came here this morning, but what does this have to do with me?" ”

"Mrs. Yun reported to the official, saying that this matter has something to do with you, it was you who bribed the ruffian to deliberately go to her shop to make trouble, and I also came to bring you over to testify in person at the behest of the adult, if there is any offense, please forgive me."

Qi Ling is completely stunned now, this is the legendary back-to-back rake?

Yourself, this is a person sitting in a pot at home from the sky?!

When Wang Xu heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Official, this matter is not about my shopkeeper, we also met a few ruffians yesterday, but fortunately, the Qingyu girl took action to drive them away!" ”

"Yes, sir, you Mingjian, this has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Qi!"

"Don't talk about it." Qi Ling stopped everyone's words, turned his head and said solemnly, "I'll go with you, I, Qi Ling, want to do things with a clear conscience, since I want to confront each other, then it's okay to go, they all say that Lord He is clear-sighted, I believe that I will naturally be fair." ”

The official smiled and said, "That's natural, if it really has nothing to do with you, the adults will naturally not blame, please shopkeeper!" ”

In this way, Qi Ling left with a few officials.

Wang Xu looked anxious from behind, "How could this happen!" ”

Qingyu comforted, "Don't worry, let's go down and get busy first, I'll go out." ”

As soon as Qi Ling left on the front foot, Qingyu also returned to Fushou Building non-stop to find the dark thirteen, at this moment he was taking stock of the accounts, and when he heard that Qi Ling was taken away by the official, he was stunned.

"The big boss was taken to the county office?"

Qingyu looked serious, "Although the official who came here seems to be kind in his words, I am always not at ease in my heart, you are better than me, go and find out what is going on first." ”

Dark Thirteen didn't let him, "Don't worry, I'll go." ”

The county government of Suming County is due north, some distance from Qi Ling's shop, and it has attracted the attention of many people along the way.

"Shopkeeper Qi, what's wrong? This road seems to be the route to the county office. ”

"Who knows, I heard that Mrs. Yun's shop was smashed and a lot of things were lost, some people said that the shopkeeper Qi was angry but deliberately found someone to smash it......"

"It's really fake, how did I hear that there seemed to be someone making trouble in the shop on West Street yesterday, is this a group of people?"

"Who knows, the security in this Suming County has always been very good, and now that this thing is out of the way, the merchants are not allowed to do business?"

They didn't speak loudly, but Qi Ling could vaguely hear some of them, and he also had some thoughts in his heart.

This Mrs. Yun seems to have done her homework, and she hyped that she sent someone to smash her shop, and this group of melon-eating people also love to watch these lively... You have to be a snack, and when you get to the palace, you probably have a fierce battle waiting for you.

A snow-white horse-drawn carriage is walking by with steady steps, which has aroused the envy of many people, and the four corners of the carriage are hung with jade bells, making a pleasant sound.

Qi Ling was also attracted by this voice, and saw a familiar face from the curtain blown by the breeze.

"Mu Chen?"

Qi Ling's eyes widened and he subconsciously shouted, and the people in the carriage seemed to hear the sound and slowly turned their heads, and showed a smile when they saw her.

His lips opened lightly, "Stop." ”

The coachman hurriedly pulled the reins, and the horse, which was already running unfast, sniffed and stopped obediently.

As the curtain was lifted, an ink-colored figure walked out of the carriage, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth also drew a light smile, "Miss Qi, long time no see." ”

Qi Ling didn't react a little, she just looked a little familiar just now, but she didn't expect it to be him!

Surprised: "Shepherd! How did you end up here? ”

It's been more than half a month since the last tea shed, but I didn't expect to meet it again in Suming County.

"I happened to be passing through here, who are you?" As she spoke, she looked at the officials around her.

She hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm a good citizen, something happened to happen this time, I went to confront me face to face, but I didn't commit anything!" ”

Mu Chen looked at her hurriedly explained, slightly amused, and quipped, "Oh? Tell me what happened. ”

Qi Ling just wanted to open his mouth, but the previous junior official interjected, "This son, the adult is still waiting in the county office, if you talk about the old things, it will be the same when the matter is resolved." ”

Unexpectedly, the smile on Mu Chen's face faded suddenly: "Say what you just said again." ”

The official was speechless for a while, this son was still smiling and mild before, but now he said that he would change his face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Qi Ling hurriedly stood up and adjusted, "Actually, it's okay, it's just that someone framed me and sent someone to smash her shop, what kind of person am I, how can I do such a thing, so I'll go and confront it face to face." ”
