This young man who claimed to be Li Wangxun's son, who was also a child, gave the surrounding people a fright when he said those words. Only when they heard those words did they calm down.
Li Wangxun wouldn't wait here to make people kneel and thank him. The people around him didn't dare to persuade him. One of them was almost beaten up, so no one dared to say anything.
Just as Li Wangxun was about to leave, two waiters from the restaurant ran over. One was carrying a bowl of white fungus bird's nest soup, while the other was carrying half a basket of steamed buns.
The white fungus was also grown by Pomegranate. It was similar to the fungus, but there were some slight changes in the details. Pomegranate was a professional and managed to grow it. Now she wanted to grow pine mushrooms. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tried to persuade her, but Pomegranate insisted. Seeing how persistent she was, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan let her do it.
If she could grow pine mushrooms and pomegranates, Zhang Xiaobao would dare to ask her to get reticulated mushrooms. Not to mention this era, even back then, the price of reticulated mushrooms was the highest. Wild ones were even priceless, unlike other mushrooms that were sold by kilograms.
Although there were three dishes and one soup, as well as many steamed buns, all of it had been finished by the four of them. Not even the soup was left. The child digested the food very quickly. He had just been fed some soup. At this moment, he peed. His small eyes looked at the new thing that was brought over. Being carried by his sister, he stretched out his arms and opened his small hands to grab it.
"Quick, waiter, feed the child. Let me see if everything in this bowl is good." Li Wangxun had never felt this way before. The more he looked at the child, the more he liked him. He asked the waiter to bring the soup over, but he was afraid that the waiter would cheat him. He went closer to take a look and found that everything was good. Only then did he feel relieved.
The older sister hugged her younger brother, wiping her tears as she thanked Li Wangxun. She could imagine how much the soup was worth just by hearing its name. Not to mention the fact that they could eat it when they were escaping from the wilderness, even in the past, they didn't even dare to think about it. A bowl of soup could be exchanged for several years of her family's rations.
In addition to the white fungus and bird's nest, there were also soft lotus seeds and rock sugar in the soup. It was sweet and fragrant. Children instinctively pursued sugar and couldn't stop eating once they took a bite. This had nothing to do with whether it was sweet or not. The main thing was that sweetness represented sugar. Sugar was exactly what the human body needed. It was a kind of genetic inheritance. The more immature a child was, the more they wanted to eat sugar.
This time, without waiting for the older sister to wipe it with her sleeve, Li Wangxun took out a handkerchief and helped the child wipe the drool from his mouth. When his hand touched the child's tender face, he couldn't help but pinch it lightly.
Amidst the worries of the adults, the child didn't cry as he usually did when strangers touched him. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and opened his arms with a smile, letting Li Wangxun hug him.
Li Wangxun wanted to reach out, but he was stopped by the people beside him, so he couldn't do anything. At this time, the person who had almost been beaten pulled a waiter over and told him what had happened. The waiter immediately knew what to do.
"Young Master, don't worry. Leave this family's matter to Between the Clouds and the Water. Between the Clouds and the Water just happens to be lacking a dishwasher and a chopper. Oh, the dishwasher only needs to do eight hours a day. Between the Clouds and the Water will give the dishwasher a bowl of clear water pig's knuckle soup, at least half a pig's knuckle each time."
When the waiter said this to Li Wangxun, he felt that he was lying. Since when did Between the Clouds and the Water have to be responsible for feeding people? The wages were higher than other places. How many knuckles did a pig have? This was going to be counted as the main family's account.
Li Wangxun was happy when he heard this. He didn't know much about the lives of commoners and really thought that the dishwasher would be fed pig's knuckle. With one look, he knew that the mother ate little and didn't have milk. He wasn't stupid and knew that the knuckle soup had milk. He nodded and was relieved.
He nodded and said, "En, that's good. This Young Master will be back in a few days. If I don't see the four of them or find that someone has lost weight due to hunger, don't blame this Young Master for being ruthless. That, make the knuckle soup better. This Young Master knows that you put a certain kind of seasoning in your food. Put in more."
"Ah? Salty? You still want to put in that seasoning? Young Master, this won't do. You can't put too much seasoning, and even if it's salty … "
"What? You dare to not listen to this Young Master? "Before the waiter could finish, Li Wangxun's face darkened and he shouted.
"Benefactor, please don't make things difficult for them. This little girl likes to eat bland, so I want the knuckle soup with clear water. Don't put any salt or seasoning in it."
This time, the child's mother spoke up without the waiter saying anything. She naturally knew what she had to eat for her child. No matter how disgusting it was, she had to swallow it. No salt could be added.
When Li Wangxun heard that the other party wasn't willing to eat anything with seasoning or salty, he naturally wouldn't force the waiter to do it. Weiwei nodded and said, "Alright, waiter. Do you understand?"
"I understand. This little one will remember it well. You have to use clear water to cook the knuckle, especially the fatty ones." The waiter didn't care about who said the wrong thing and nodded vigorously.
"Waiter, you have to do as you say. Take this money." The one who was almost beaten took out a dozen copper coins and stuffed them into the waiter's hands with reddened eyes. He understood what this mother was doing for her child.
Since someone had taken over the matter of the family of four, Li Wangxun didn't want to stay any longer and prepared to go back. At this time, Li Cheng, who was in charge of buying the restaurant, rushed over. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead as he reported to Li Wangxun.
"Young Master, the main family of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family in Zhuangzi said that they went to the temple by the Luoshui River to burn incense. The head of the Ge Family in Zhuangzi fell ill and was taken to seek treatment. No one saw him. The housekeeper was there, but unfortunately, he couldn't speak and the restaurant couldn't be closed."
"So coincidental?" Li Wangxun frowned in disbelief.
"Yes. This little one has already asked three farmers in Zhuangzi. At first, they didn't say anything. This little one gave them a lot of money. The farmers of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family took the money and told this little one. Early in the morning, the main family of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family left in a hurry in Zhuangzi. So did the Ge Family in Zhuangzi."
Li Cheng had spent a total of three taels of silver this time. He felt a bit of heartache. After all, he had forked out the money himself.
Li Wangxun finally believed him. "Alright, when you go back, you will receive ten taels of silver. Let's not talk about this today. Alright, come back with me. Tomorrow, send someone over to ask about this family of four. At the same time, see if they have good food and lodging."
"Yes, this little one understands," Li Cheng replied respectfully.
While they were talking, a man and a woman came over to join in the fun. They didn't get too close, so Li Wangxun's bodyguard only watched and didn't chase them away. He didn't want to make the young master unhappy.
"How is it? Did you see the ability of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family in Zhuangzi? More than two taels of silver was thrown in, and it didn't even make a splash. If it were any other place, not to mention Zhuangzi, even the people in the manor could be bribed. When we came in this morning, the carriage of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family was still there. After a while, it disappeared.
We can't stay in this place for too long. They already know that we are here. If I'm not wrong, they even know who we are. If we make them unhappy and kill a few cows, we can just say that we killed them. Three Zhuangzi farmers said so. Even if you didn't kill them, you did. "
The woman was meticulous and could roughly analyze the situation from this incident. The man was bold and had good skills, but he wasn't good at such things. He said, "Don't be afraid.
When the time comes, as long as we go through the authorities, we don't have to worry about anything. Today, we finally know that the Wang Family's son is not bad. He knows how to help the poor. "
"You only saw this. In fact, the ones who are willing to help are the Zhang Family and the Ge Family. When the servant came out, he brushed past him. Usually, if the master didn't arrange this, would the two servants do this? Remember, our identities can't be exposed. If the authorities know, then County Magistrate Cheng will also know. I think they are together. "
The woman corrected the man's mistake. Just as the man was about to refute, he suddenly heard a rush of horse hooves. He turned his head and saw three yamen runners from Sanshui County. Each of them had two horses, and they rushed over from the other side of the bridge. As soon as they came to the bridge, the one in the lead shouted, "Hey!
"Reporting to the master of the Zhang Family. At noon, the Little Luoshui Pier has been built. Congratulations, congratulations. Young Master Song has also ordered people to build two restaurants. Congratulations, congratulations."
When the man heard this, he was dumbfounded. Before they came, they naturally knew that the Little Luoshui Pier was a place where auspicious signs were placed. It was in the county seat of Sanshui County. Now, it wasn't even five yet, but it took them only three hours to come all the way from such a far place. It was almost six hundred miles away.
If the yamen runners of the Zhang Family and Zhuangzi County could report good news like this, if it was an emergency, they could use the courier station that was eight hundred miles away.
"Do you know now? Will the authorities here care about you? Look at this speed. You didn't come from the yamen, but from the Little Luoshui Pier. The yamen runners need to know about the Little Luoshui Pier before they can come to report. How much time will it take? If there is any danger, I believe that they will report eight hundred miles away and chase after the stars and the moon. They will change horses but not people. "
The woman sneered and said to the man. At this time, the three people on the six horses had already galloped in front of them, leaving only the sound of horse hooves and the dust that hadn't settled yet.
At this time, the man couldn't say anything. It was too scary. This yamen didn't seem to have a normal relationship. It felt like it was run by someone else. From the expression of the yamen runners who just passed by, there wasn't the slightest bit of unwillingness to accept the mission.
"Then, we only know so much? Let's go first? "The man asked a little fearfully.
"Pay attention, pay attention. Everyone pay attention. The children of the Zhuangzi County of Zhang Family and Ge San Family can join the competition. There will be a prize if they win." At this time, a child's voice sounded.
