Chapter 12: Tear the Scoundrel apart

The next day, Aunt Zhang came over at dawn. She prepared breakfast. Charlotte was busy frying fish. Small fish must be eaten hot, and they are crispy.

Just after the fried food was done, Zhuzi's mother came over. She came because she had prepared breakfast at home.

"We made a lot of braised meat today, about 70 kilograms. I don't know if the restaurant needs it, and how the customers respond. So we may be late today. Aunt Zhang, if we come back late at noon, you can eat first and call the village chief over."

"The children are very obedient. Don't worry, I will arrange it." Aunt Zhang was busy running around, and Charlotte was grateful in her heart.

Two people took turns, one pulling and the other pushing from behind.

Finally arrived at the vegetable market.

The cart had just been set up. Everyone lined up consciously, waiting to buy braised meat.

I think three or four portions were sold.

A group of people came over from the pub opposite.

"Hey! Countryman, pay the management fee." The leader was a fat, big-eared man who looked young. He looked up and glared at Charlotte.

Charlotte ignored him and continued to carry the pot and light the firewood.

"I'm talking to you, bitch." When the man saw that Charlotte ignored him, he got angry and picked up a stick and tried to knock over the pot lid.

Seeing that he was serious, Charlotte threw a silver needle into one of his acupuncture points, and the man immediately fell to the ground and twitched. The others all leaned back.

"You, you, you..." The man was twitching so badly that he couldn't speak fluently.

"I didn't say a word, but you started to curse me, and then you fell to the ground and tried to scam me. Let's all judge what I did wrong."

"You guys overturned her business. How dare you do something bad to me."

When the gang saw their boss fall down, they didn't have any time to spare, fearing that he might end up in the same situation as their boss, so they didn't dare to move.

Zhuzi's mother was so scared that she shrank to one side of the cart. Seeing Xia Luo's calm attitude, she came back and lowered her head to put out the small fish.

"Heizi, go ask my brother-in-law to find someone and tell them that I'm being bullied." The man shouted hysterically to a tall and thin man named Heizi beside him.

None of the people who bought meat left, they were all watching the fun. This man was a street bully, his brother-in-law was a grain merchant. He had a good relationship with the government. The fees were originally under the control of the government officials, but he was the one who collected them arbitrarily.

Charlotte should sell meat.

"We have fried small yellow croaker today. You can have a taste. It is a great dish to go with wine. Thirty cents per portion. There are about ten pieces in one portion, some big and some small."

After a while, a group of yamen runners came over. The leader looked at Charlotte and was stunned for a moment.

Charlotte also saw the man, the one who was almost killed by poisonous mushrooms.

The pig-headed man got excited when he saw someone coming. "It's this woman. She did it. Take her away."

Ha, the bad guy is the first to complain. Charlotte put down the fried fish in his hand and gave Zhuzi's mother a reassuring look, which meant that you can sell it as you want.

"The officer is coming. Let's talk for a moment."

Charlotte led him to a farther place and briefly explained the process.

Even if Charlotte didn't say anything, the man would not let the pighead succeed.

The miracle doctor was his lifesaver, and he had no way to repay him.

This man is called Liang Bo. He lives in Beijing. His father runs a restaurant business. Because it is a family business, he is excluded by his second uncle. The restaurant was taken back by the family. In a rage, his father took his wife and children back to his hometown to survive.

Liang Bo originally wanted to be a teacher in the academy. But he didn't like the dull life. So he found a job in the government office. After all, he had some knowledge and was sincere to people, so he was gradually promoted to the head of the police.

"Divine Doctor, I will take care of this person. If you have any problem, come to the government office to find me. I, Liang Bo, will do anything for you. Don't worry, no one will bully you when I'm here."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Liang." Charlotte also considered not to make things difficult for others. If they had to pay the fees, she would not refuse.

Charlotte went back and quietly took back the pig-head silver needle, then continued to work.

When Pighead saw that the man didn't solve the problem and was going to take him away, he refused to do it.

"Captain Liang, what do you mean? You don't give my brother-in-law any face at all?"

"Let's go back and talk. If you don't leave, I won't care about you anymore." Liang Bo advised kindly.

"That woman did something dirty, and she hasn't explained it to me yet."

"You'd better be polite with your words. I'm trying to save you. If you don't listen, you will bear the consequences."

When Charlotte saw that he was endless, she was afraid that Liang Bo could not deal with him.

He put down what he was doing, came over, pried open his mouth, took out the ginseng spleen-strengthening pill from the space, patted his back, and gave him the pill.

"What did you give me to eat?" Pighead scratched his throat with his hand.

"Poison. If you cause trouble again, I'll break both of your arms next time."

Liang Bo saw that this woman was really fierce and intelligent. She was very skilled.

"Take all of you away. Remember to come to me next month to ask for the antidote. If anyone refuses to obey, you will be treated the same as him."

A group of people came in a mighty manner and left in disgrace.

The butchers and the noodle vendors on the street all applauded. They had no energy to mess with that kind of person, but today they had opened their eyes.

The small fish are selling very fast and the braised meat is almost half sold out.

Once they got involved, not only was the business not affected, but more and more people came.

"Miss, I'll pack all your braised meat." The owner of Zuixianlou said with a smile.

"You've packed everything, what are we going to eat?" an old lady scolded the shopkeeper.

“Yeah, we still have these people waiting to buy.”

Everyone shouted together.

The shopkeeper knew that he had angered the crowd, so he stood there without moving, waiting for the people in line to finish buying.

"Boss, how about we go to your restaurant to discuss?" Charlotte knew that the braised pork must be popular in the restaurant. Otherwise, why would the boss come here?

"Okay. I'll go back first. See you later, young lady."

"Mother Zhuzi, pack up your things and let's go to the restaurant for dinner."

"It would cost so much money to go to a restaurant. It's such a waste."

"Don't worry, it must be the shopkeeper who is treating us." Xia Luo was afraid that Zhuzi's mother would be upset, so he said, "Just eat with confidence. Only when we eat, can he feel at ease."

When the two men arrived at the door of the restaurant, the waiter pushed the cart to the backyard.

The shopkeeper invited them to sit in the back hall.

"Miss, I don't even know your name."

"Just call me Charlotte. I'm from Willow Village."

"I am Zhao Zhanye. I am the owner of this restaurant."

"The braised meat that Miss Xia put here yesterday, the customers said it tasted good, and a few customers have ordered it today to eat in the evening. So I wanted to get all the braised meat here. Now Miss, can you help me make the braised meat in the restaurant?"

"My family's ancestral braised pork recipe cannot be passed on to others." Charlotte said seriously.

"Then will you sell the house?" Shopkeeper Zhao refused to give up.

"There are many customers in the vegetable market. If I sell the recipe, where will those people go to eat such cheap braised meat? It's too expensive to eat in your restaurant."

"Miss Xia, I'll pay 50 taels for your recipe. Please think about it." Shopkeeper Zhao also had a little plan. His boss owned more than a dozen restaurants, and each of them sold braised meat as a signature dish.

"50 taels?" Zhuzi's mother was shocked. 50 taels for one prescription, she had never seen such a thing in her life.

"One hundred taels. But the marinade is calculated separately." Charlotte did not give in at all.

"Then it's one hundred taels. You prepare a month's supply, and then settle the silver."

Zhuzi's mother couldn't believe her ears.

"It's almost noon. I'll treat you to a meal. After you eat, I'll make braised meat." The shopkeeper was very happy.
