my weird life

Chapter 1022 Liu Family Noodle Stall (22)

"This archway is very strange, cutting off the Fengshui dragon vein of Wanshan.

Such an act of severing the dragon's veins will reduce the time that the current royal family spends in the country. "Su Wu spoke, "But I remember you said earlier that it was the capital that summoned many stonemasons to build archways in various places - it is impossible for the emperor in the forbidden palace to get some of the things people in the capital do. the wind.

Especially the pile driving has caused such a big commotion in various places.

But if the emperor knew that the stonemason's erection of the Longevity Archway would cause damage to his family, it would be impossible for him to allow others to behave like this...

The reason for this, I can't understand. "

"The Qing court is stupid and stupid, and it is a good thing for us to do this thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall!

Don't care why he did it. "Wu Wenyuan's eyes sparkled, and he said with a sneer after Su Wu's words fell to the ground. He looked at the majestic Longevity Archway, and originally felt that the archway had a gloomy atmosphere, which made him extremely uncomfortable, but after hearing Su Wu's words, But I think this archway is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Wu Wenyuan's obsession with "anti-Qing and restoring Ming" is so deep, it is likely to be related to his sons and daughters who died in the "San Francisco Rebellion" and his dead wife. Perhaps it was the Qing soldiers who killed his children. Hate it to the bone.

People like Wu Wenyuan were not in the minority from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

'Fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty' has become a knot in Wu Wenyuan's heart, Su Wu didn't want to touch his scar, so he glanced at him and said: "Such feng shui corruption is ultimately not a good thing for the land of China.

In particular, such a corrupt Feng Shui Bureau is not limited to Wanshan. "

Li Xiongbiao said at this time: "This kind of thing, it can't be said that the emperor and the people who planned this matter discussed it together-if the benefits they can get are greater than that of 'Guo Zuo Dian', they will not do this kind of thing. Not surprisingly."

Hearing this, Wu Wenyuan's expression turned serious: "It makes sense!"

Li Heihu thought about it for a while, and really didn't understand those unpredictable people, so he also nodded, agreeing with his father's statement.

"Did the emperor and his subordinates discuss it together..." Su Wu frowned and sighed, "It's not impossible."

Su Wu had already visited the terror under the 'Longevity Archway' and collected a lot of clues. After talking with everyone under the archway for a while, he saw that everyone had arrived, so he took people away from Wanshan , rushed to Jinliu Village.

More than a dozen villages, including Jinliu Village, Qingliu Village, and Shuipan Village, share a dam.

Under the river embankment, there are large fields, and the green and yellow wheat seedlings grow in the field ridges, which makes people anxious to see.

When it was daylight, the bells of cows and horses sounded on the embankment, and there were a few yells and shouts of pedestrians. A cloth shed was erected along the long and gentle river embankment in Jinliu Village.

Steaming hot air rolled out from the shed, and quickly merged into the early morning mist, bursts of fragrance diffused in the air.

In front of the shed, a flag was erected, on which the words 'Liujia Soup Noodles' were written with a brush.

"Gollum..."

Li Heihu and Su Wu walked forward side by side, followed by Li Xiongbiao and more than ten people.He looked at the flag propped up on the slope, sniffed the scent of flour in the air, and suddenly his stomach growled.

He turned his head to look at Su Wu beside him, grinning and said, "Pig, I'm hungry.

Shall we have a bowl of noodles here? "

Su Wu didn't agree immediately, he turned to look at the few people behind him, they had been busy all night, after all they were not out of the realm of mortal bodies, their expressions could not hide their fatigue, especially when they had to carry a few orphans on their backs , I was even more tired. At this time, I was already tired and hungry, and my eyes lit up when I saw the noodle stalls on the roadside.

"Okay." Su Wu nodded in agreement, glanced at the four characters 'Liu's Noodle Stall' written on the flag in front of the noodle stall, and walked towards that noodle stall with thoughts in his mind.

More than a dozen people all got into the small cloth shed at once, and the place became crowded immediately.

A cloth towel was wrapped around her head, covering both sides of her cheeks. The woman who was filling the iron stove with firewood and boiling the water saw a group of tall and thick men rushing into the cloth shed with several children. Come, a little timid for a while, turned sideways to avoid the eyes of everyone looking over, and whispered: "Several guests, the stall must pay first before eating noodles.

Daddy hasn't delivered the noodles yet, there are only steamed buns and pancakes on the blanket, you have to wait for a while..."

The woman stood beside the steamer, blocking the steamer behind her with her body, as if she was afraid that this group of sudden guests would snatch the steamed buns in the steamer and eat them.

She just set up the table, laid out the chopping board, and boiled the water. She was really waiting for the noodles from her family before she could officially roll out the noodles and cook them. This was the first day she opened the stall, and she wanted to be herself. The business of the neighbors in the village, earning a few copper coins to supplement the family, did not expect that so many customers came on the first day of setting up the stall - said that they were customers, she didn't often show up in public, so she didn't know the identity of these people, It's still dark now, and I'm actually even more afraid that they will steal the food from the stall.

Li Xiongbiao and the others took their seats. When they heard the woman's words, it was foggy. The woman was still wrapped in a kerchief, and they couldn't see her face clearly—even if they did, they probably didn't recognize her. It is a woman from the same village or a neighboring village.

Hearing the woman's timid words, Li Xiongbiao smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It's okay, just wait for a while, first serve us some steamed buns and pancakes, let's eat first, pad our stomachs .”

The woman opened the cage drawer, and the hot air billowed out.

She took a basket, picked up some steamed buns and pancakes as she said, and when she approached the table of several people, she stopped again, blushed, and bravely said: "The steamed buns and pancakes must be paid first..."

Things like paying first for meals are not common in the local area, but they are not uncommon.

Especially in the current famine situation, restaurants do business also to guard against such things as free food and overlord meals.

Li Xiongbiao also understood the woman's request, but he really didn't have much money on him, so he looked up at Wu Wenyuan - the gold and silver collected by his nephew from the Daqin Temple in Wanshan were all kept by this old boy. !
They also contributed to today's matter, and the other party would not even refuse to invite them to have breakfast.

Although Wu Wenyuan was the custodian of the package of gold and silver, he did not have the right to control the package of gold and silver. When he saw Li Xiongbiao looking at him, he turned his head to look at Su Wu.

Su Wu didn't take any money from him, but when he turned his hand, a string of copper coins appeared in his palm.

——When the Longevity Archway was dug up, there was a 'hungry ghost' holding a pile of gold, silver and copper coins in his arms.Su Wu looked up at the woman and asked her, "How much?"

"A total of, a total of twelve characters..." the woman whispered.

Su Wu nodded, and asked again: "When your father comes, serve us a big bowl of noodles first.

How much money does it add up? "

"A bowl of noodles costs three Wen, here is one or two..." The woman was still counting in a low voice.

Su Wu directly took out a small bunch of copper coins, about a hundred cash, handed it to the woman, and said, "There's no need to look for it."

The woman hurriedly took it, and put down the steamed buns and pancakes in the basket. She had helped out in her father's restaurant before, and she only kneaded, rolled, and cooked noodles in a separate compartment. Money was never more than her hands, so now Hearing what Su Wu said seemed bold, she was afraid that the money given by the other party would not be enough, so she walked to the side, spread out the copper coins in her palm, and counted them carefully.

"This boss...

Maybe we are all from the same village, can we give you less money? Li Xiongbiao grinned, grabbed a piece of pancake, tore it in half, and handed the other half to Li Heihu—Li Heihu eagerly reached out to pick it up, but his father suddenly stretched his hand forward, and handed the pancake to the A five-year-old girl who was disliked by her parents, "Eat some pancakes first, and then eat good noodles later! "

"Thank you, Daddy." The female baby responded crisply, making the Li family's eyes full of joy.

Li Heihu resentfully took a pancake, tore it in half, and handed half to Su Wu.

A group of people who were able to gather because of Su Wu gathered around the table and started to eat in silence.

Not long after, the father of the noodle stall woman got into the cloth shed with a basket on his back, he was talking to the woman, and whispered: "Did these people pay first?

Brother Ni is still sleeping at home, so I'll bring you the noodles first.

When he wakes up later, ask him to come and look after the stall for you, in case someone..."

"Daddy, I paid for it..." The woman interrupted the man, and helped unload the basket from his back, poured the noodles into a big urn, added water, and began to knead the noodles.

The man walked around the stall with his hands behind his back, observing Su Wu and his group who were eating. At this moment, Li Xiong raised his head, and the moment he met the man's eyes, the man immediately turned sideways to avoid it, with an unnatural expression on his face. Wei then shouted: "Huh? Isn't this Old Liu?
This is your stall?
Alas!
That girl is your child? ! "

"Hey, hey..." The man called Lao Liu responded eagerly, turned around, and looked at Li Xiongzhen and the others. He could no longer avoid it, so he had to come forward, look at the The people who made the cakes hesitated and said to their daughter, "Girl, bring some more cakes for Uncle Li and the others. Hey, Xiong Biao, Xiong Biao, I invite you..."

"What please?

If you invite me like this, is your family still doing business?
The little rice and noodles I finally saved up will be used up in a while, and I won't be able to earn much money! "Li Xiongbiao waved his hand and directly refused.

In fact, the members of the Li family are all straightforward, and their words are all for this "Old Liu" family, but when this old Liu heard Li Xiongbiao's words, his white face suddenly turned red: "How could it be?!

I can't afford to invite you for this pancake?

Just eat, let go and eat!

Girl, bring the pancakes to Uncle Li and the others! "
