Little wealth

Today their shop in the town was still open for business, so both Caixia and Caiyun went to the shop in the town to help with errands, so the only ones staying at home were Ah Qiu and the two of them, adults and children.

The three adults and one child can't actually eat too many dumplings, but seeing his mother pick up so many dumplings and leave in one go, Josh wanted to call him back but couldn't call him back, so he held his forehead and smiled, so he had to look at Aqiu said, "Aqiu, go to the kitchen and see if you want to help."

"Ah... oh." Aqiu, who was suddenly called upon, was stunned for a moment before standing up, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Ah Nian, let's go together." Ah Nian ran to grab Ah Qiu's hand and wanted to follow.

"Go, go, you go together. Aqiu, remember to watch him, don't let him start the fire in the stove." Josh really had a headache for this increasingly naughty son, and he simply didn't want to see him. Ah Qiu quickly helped him take the man away.

"Let's go." Ah Nian was not afraid of Ah Qiu who had a scar on his face at all, and affectionately grabbed Ah Qiu's hand and led him outside.

Ah Qiu was dragged out by the young master with short legs. When he went out, he did not forget to open the umbrella hanging by the door to block the sun over the young master's head.

The big yellow dog guarding the door saw the little master coming out, and followed behind the little master.

After his son left, the roots of his ears finally cleared up, and Josh breathed a sigh of relief, and continued rolling dough to make dumplings.He felt strange, Master Zhao in his family could not utter a word with three sticks, and he himself was not a talkative person, so how could he raise a son who was talkative?

Especially this little brat can talk more and more now, every morning he wakes up and chatters incessantly in his ear, you can ignore him, he has to say that you should answer him, but once you pay attention He, he talked on and on.

Only after being taken away can his ears be cleaned up.

After thinking about it again, the little one in the stomach will come out later, and there will be two cubs in the family... It will be a very headache when I think about it.

As soon as the water in the pot boiled, Zhao Amu poured in the dumplings at hand, glanced at the little grandson who was sitting obediently in front of the stove waiting to eat, and said, "Wait, my good grandson, our dumplings will be cooked soon. "In the past, these things were done a lot, and he could still cook a few dumplings.

Wait for the water to float up and pour cold water twice, and the dumplings in the pot will be ready.

Then use a bowl to pour a small bowl of mature vinegar, drop a few drops of sesame oil into it, ask Ah Qiu to help bring a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, and take the dumplings back to the main room over there with the grandson.

"Is it ready so soon?"

"How long does it take to cook a few dumplings."

"My side is also packed, pack up the things, let's eat here."

"well."

It happened that Qiao Xu finished making the dumplings, and saw his mother and Ah Qiu came back with the dumplings and the children. Together, they cleaned up the things on the table and put them aside, and put the dumplings here Side table to eat.

The dumplings had just been placed on the table, and their eager son was about to reach out to grab them. Josh quickly grabbed his little paw and warned, "Don't worry, it's so hot. I won't be responsible if you burn yourself later." I'm kidding you."

"Eat, eat." Smelling the aroma and unable to eat, Anian anxiously walked around the table.

"I know, but I have to wait, I'll fix it for you first." Seeing the food, Josh couldn't help but roll his eyes, put a dumpling into the little boy's bowl, and use his chopsticks The middle was poked in half, and the little boy was allowed to hold the spoon by himself, and said, "Okay, you can eat, and you can blow it yourself before eating."

"Yeah." Ah Nian grabbed the small spoon, scooped up the dumplings, puffed her cheeks and blew it, before putting it in her mouth, her eyes were red from the heat, and she didn't want to spit out the stuff in her mouth, " Daddy."

"I don't want yours, you eat by yourself. Eat slowly, we have a lot more here." Looking at the red eyes of the little boy, Josh knew that he was scalded, and the kid would come here every time he fell. Let him huh, ate something hot and wanted to continue eating as if nothing had happened.

It really makes people... don't know what to say.

Seeing that Aqiu was standing over there and not coming over, he shouted, "Aqiu, come and eat too."

Ah Qiu hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should go there.

"Yeah, come over and eat together. There are only a few of us in the family, so there's no need to divide it into two tables." Zhao Amu is not a very particular person, so she called for someone to come over and eat together.Josh glanced at the person, shared a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and shouted, "Come on."

That's how Ah Qiu passed.

"Just sit here and eat. You can eat as much as you want. There is vinegar here. If you like it, you can dip it in some vinegar and eat it." I didn't feel hungry just now, but when I saw the dumplings being served and smelled the aroma of vinegar, Josh I couldn't help but swallowed, picked up a big dumpling with chopsticks, dipped it in vinegar and put it in my mouth.

Mmm~ It's so fragrant!

After eating the first one, he seemed to have opened up his appetite. He ate three or four at a time. The first two were stuffed with mushrooms and pork, and the second one was stuffed with leeks and eggs, fresh shrimp, horseshoe and radish. What about?

The more I can't eat, the more I want to eat enough, but I really can't see it after cooking such a big bowl. Josh picked two that he thought were similar, so he turned to ask him, "Ah Mum, didn't you cook the stuffed shrimp and horseshoe?"

"Yes, I just ate one." Zhao Amu looked at the bowl, and put one into the daughter-in-law's bowl, "Eat and see if this is right."

As soon as he took a bite into it, Josh laughed. He glanced at the opened dumpling and said, "It really is." The stuffing made with horseshoe is a bit crunchy, and the fresh shrimp is also delicious. You can eat it full after biting into it. of prawns.

"I'll just say yes." Zhao Amu laughed.

"Well, it's delicious!" Josh also laughed, one mouthful of such a big dumpling filled his mouth full, not only satisfying his mouth, but also satisfying his heart.

It's just a pity that there are not many dumplings stuffed with shrimp and horseshoe that his mother cooks. The dumplings stuffed with mushroom pork and leek and egg are the most eaten. It seems that I can't eat until the evening meal.

Aqiu ate the dumplings and thought the dumplings in the bowl were delicious.

"More." Ah Nian held up a small spoon and shouted for more after eating.

"Okay, I'll pick it up for you. Tell me if you're full, don't be full." Josh had no choice but to pick up two more for his son and put them in the bowl. Seeing that the little boy lay down in the bowl by himself, picked up the dumplings with his mouth, and ate them with his hands.

Originally, he said that there were too many boiled dumplings. After eating the last one, he was still a little unsatisfied after eating the last one. He thought he could eat two more.

They stayed at home that day and did not go to town, so they did not see with their own eyes how their grand lord settled the case in court.

***

A few local hooligans were dragged to the lobby, and when they were frightened, they recruited everything.

A few women were even more timid, and they confessed to the guys from the Zhangjia oil shop. The guys went to find them and gave them oil, saying that they only need to talk to the oil seller on the street and tell them that there is something wrong with their oil. , they can get a sum of money.

"My lord, this is the person who beat me in the street. He said that the oil I sold had dead rats. After beating me, he even broke all my oil and ran away! Please be the master for us, the oil we sell is clean Jing, why would there be a dead mouse!" Liu Cun was the man who beat Ajiu, and was recognized by Ajiu and two people from the same village on the spot, who testified on the spot that he beat someone in the street and then ran away.

Zhao He didn't intend to let go of the instigator behind the scenes, and sued Zhang's oil shop in court, "Your magistrate, the grassroots want to sue Zhang's oil shop, deliberately find someone to frame the oil in our Zhao's oil shop. They beat our buddies. These people were instigated by the shopkeeper and the buddies of the Zhang Family Oil Shop, and even invited people to our shop to make trouble, please be sure to check it out, and give us justice."

"Fart!" Only Liu Cun refused to admit that he was instigated by the shopkeeper of Zhang's oil shop, insisted that there was something wrong with the oil sold in Sihe Village, and shouted in the lobby with his neck stuck: "Obviously there is something wrong with the oil you sell! "

"My lord, this is the money bag that fell out of Liu Cun's arms, and it was picked up by the younger one. There are more than ten taels of silver in it." grown ups.

"This is my silver tael, give it back to me!" Liu Cun touched the empty pocket, and the money bag next to his body had disappeared long ago, and it turned out that it was picked up by the government officials.

"Then tell me, where did you get the silver in your family?" As early as when people were arrested, magistrate Fu asked his subordinates to investigate these people.Hearing that the people at the bottom were still talking about the money he earned, and calling them yamen gangsters and wanting to embezzle his money, it made him laugh out loud.

Master Fu's face changed, and he recounted the events of the Liu family over the past few years, "Your parents passed away two years ago, and you sold all the land your parents earned. There is a wife who does needlework and laundry to subsidize the family, and your family probably doesn’t even have rice for cooking, so how can you get such a dozen taels of silver?”

"This is... this is..." Liu Cun wanted to say that he earned it from his work, but this obviously didn't make sense.

"Hehe, you want to say that you earned it yourself, don't you?" Mrs. Fu just laughed. His husband explained to him one by one how much he paid for the monthly work.Usually whenever he has free time, he would follow Fu Lang to go out for a walk in the street outside. He is no longer the former scholar who only knew how to read flowers and compose poems in Beijing!

Wanting to lie to him is simply a dream!

"I asked someone to ask your neighbors, saying that you met with the steward of Zhang's oil shop in a nearby tea house a few days ago. This bag of money is the remuneration paid by Zhang's oil shop. !" Master Fu mercilessly exposed Liu Cun's details.

None of the gangs of people were involved in this incident, so the county magistrate ordered the officials to go to the Zhangjia oil shop to fetch people.

They also sent someone to search the Zhangjia oil shop and found a lot of bad oil, which was exactly the same as the bad oil recovered by the Zhaojia oil shop.

So far, the shopkeeper and the assistants of the Zhang family oil shop can’t deny it even if they want to deny it. The elder made a verdict on the spot. The men sent sealed the door.

As soon as he got home that day, without waiting for his mother and brother to ask, Zhao Hu told him what happened in the yamen today, just like shaking beans, "... the shopkeeper of Zhang's oil shop He and his buddies wanted to deny it, but they were pointed out by the group of hooligans and a few women in the hall. They ordered those people to come to our shop to cause trouble, and they wanted to ruin the reputation of our oil factory, saying that our oil is not good. The problem is actually that there is a problem with their own oil.”

"Don't stop, keep talking." Zhao Amu looked at her son who was drinking tea halfway through the sentence, and asked anxiously.

"Em, don't worry, let me tell you slowly." Zhao Hu took a sip of tea and continued: "The county magistrate sent someone to find a lot of bad oil in their oil shop, and the oil they took out was exactly the same as the oil we recycled. , that is, they gave those people bad oil, saying that the oil is our family’s oil, and they want us to lose money.”

"Brother, you don't know how sinister their intentions are! Not only will our reputation be stinky, but we will also have to pay them money, and in the end we won't be able to sell oil... Tsk tsk tsk, those people are really bad!"

"How did the county magistrate judge those people?" Josh had already guessed the result. If it wasn't that there was something wrong with the oil in their house, it must be something wrong with the oil in Zhang's oil store. He was more concerned about the last of these people. How to deal with it.

A younger brother was telling everyone, and Zhao He sat beside Fu Lang and listened to Fu Lang, not intending to explain to Fu Lang at all.

"This is the key point!" As soon as he talked about what happened to these people in the end, Zhao Hu felt relieved, "The shopkeeper and clerk of Zhang's oil shop were all beaten, and the young master of Zhang's oil shop , In fact, this thing was done by the young master who ordered his subordinates to do it. The county magistrate sent people to arrest him, beat him [-] times, and put him in prison... and what's the surname Liu’s, the one surnamed Liu beat Ajiu and said there were dead rats in our oil, was also beaten by the county magistrate, and sent to prison for self-reflection.”

It's really too many people who were slapped by the county magistrate in the hall today, so many that he can't remember it.

"Oh, there is also Zhang's oil shop selling bad oil, and the county magistrate sent people to seal up the shop... And what's more, their family compensated our family's silver taels!"

"Oh?" Josh turned to look at Master Zhao.

Master Zhao nodded with a smile, took out the Zhang family's compensation for them and gave it to Fu Lang, "I plan to give it to you later."
