Chapter 20

It was past noon, and the sun was tilted to the southwest. It was supposed to be a time for every family to take a lunch break at home, but at this moment, the streets of Huanxi Town were crowded with people and it was extremely lively.

Everyone in the Huanxi Inn stood outside the store door, watching the prison cars that had not been used for many years in the county government slowly drive across the long street.There were two prison cars one behind the other. In the car in front stood a petite woman who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she was wearing shackles and prison clothes, she had long hair and a clean face. Facing the sky, there is an indifference in his eyes that transcends life and death.There was a tall and thin man standing on the prison van behind. Compared to this young lady, the man's hair was messy and his clothes looked dirty and torn. At this moment, his head was lowered and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Is this the murderous aunt? Is that adulterer behind?"

"A sin."

"Dogs, men and women, you have harmed Mr. Ruan's family, you deserve it!"

There were women's voices and men's voices. Amidst the miscellaneous discussions, Lu Tang stared at the prison car, feeling a sense of resentment and desolation in his heart.

Yu Hanshi was standing near the intersection, hearing the discussions around, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"You can't say that, this young lady is a poor person, she was ruined by the military guard when she was young, alas! What a crime!" .”

"Ah? What's going on? And this one!"

As soon as he said this, it was as if a pot of cold water was poured into a frying pan, and the crowd immediately boiled. Yu Lingchu hurriedly grabbed his younger brother, and Yu Hanshi fell silent belatedly.The crowd watching the excitement around did not intend to stop their voices, and they came to ask questions one after another.Hong Xi'er's eyes darkened, and she turned to go back to the shop, but someone had already squeezed over and stopped her: "Master Hong, what's the story here? I heard that your cook Yu was detained in the county government for several times." Day, do you know something inside?"

Hong Xi'er didn't want to say more, just shook his head and said nothing, and a butcher around saw this and said, "Tch! I guess it can't be true, how can a military guard with a dignified appearance do such a dirty thing? I It must be that this little lady wanted to harm Miss Ruan and her husband-in-law because she wanted to be an official wife, and now she is here to frame the reputation of the military guard after seeing the person is dead."

The expressions of the people in the inn changed when they heard these words, Hong Xi'er opened her mouth and only said: "I don't know what happened, how can I humiliate people's innocence for no reason."

"Then tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Tang was already upset at first, and when he heard the rumors spreading and slandering, and the reckless man forcing Hong Xier to question him, he suddenly lost his temper and said sharply: "It's that military guard who doesn't do human affairs! He's not as good as a beast. Dirty things have harmed this aunt, and also harmed Miss Ruan."

Everyone's noise stopped, and they all looked at her.Lu Tangyi is a new face in the town. Some people who have been to the inn know that she is the new accountant, but most people don't know her. They only look at her face, her brows are clear and her bearing is extraordinary, even though she is thin and thin, she still looks like a girl. The heroic spirit, the most important thing is that "he" is still standing so close to Hong Xier, isn't that posture protecting him behind him?

The aunt who has something good to do has already whispered from the bottom: "Yo! What is the relationship between this little brother and the third mother of the Hong family?"

"I don't know, I just said that I saw Mr. Feng running to the inn a while ago, why didn't he come now."

......

Lu Tang didn't expect that one sentence would transfer the point of gossip to herself. At this time, there were only whispers in the crowd, and she couldn't get angry. Looking back at Hong Xier, she saw that the other party seemed not to be affected by these rumors. move.

"Little brother, do you think the military guard really did such dirty things?"

Lu Tang was so concerned about Hong Xi'er's feelings that he didn't wait to answer immediately. Wang Qi stood up beside him and pushed the people around him: "Everything in this world has a cause and effect. You also saw that aunt How can a weak woman do such a cruel thing without driving people to a dead end? Let’s go, everyone is gone, come back.”

The prison car was getting farther and farther away. There hadn't been such a major event in the town for decades. After watching it, everyone was lively enough, and then turned their eyes to the Huanxi Inn.Hong Xi'er had already returned to the store first, and if there was something good to do, she went up to ask Wang Qi: "Brother Qi, who is this new little brother?"

Although the folk customs of Huanxi Town are relatively simple, it may be human nature to be fond of gossip, especially in the ancient environment where information is blocked and there are no entertainment items. Hong Xier, a valuable and beautiful girl, has nothing to say at her age. In the boudoir, it naturally became the talk of some long-tongued people after dinner.

"This is our shopkeeper's distant cousin. His hometown was hit by a disaster, so he came to help in the store. Now he is the accountant of the inn."

Hearing that it was my cousin who had fled from a disaster, several elderly people around showed sympathy.Only Tan Da from South Street Tofu Shop stood in the crowd and said, "It's just a cousin, who knows if that kid has any unreasonable thoughts."

"Tan Da, I think it's because you have unreasonable thoughts about shopkeeper Hong."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, Tan Dazhang blushed and spat at the person who spoke.Impatient, Wang Qi threw his fist at the person and said, "Tan Da, don't be silly! Be careful with these things, I'll beat you!"

......

The bustle outside the door gradually dissipated. In the inn, as soon as Lu Tang walked behind Hong Xier, seeing someone returning to the room, she hesitated, but still followed.

"The treasurer."

Hong Xi'er turned her head and saw that she was following him step by step with her head down.

"what happened?"

"No, I just think you're a little unhappy."

"Why do you think so?"

When Lu Tang was silent, women in ancient times valued their reputation more than anything else. Just now Hong Xier didn't say much about the reason in front of others. It was probably because of this, but she didn't know what her words would make her think.

"Women's fame is a big thing. I was reckless just now. I only thought of the poor situation of my aunt and the justice of the people." Forget that gossip is more deadly to a woman than a sword piercing her body.

Hong Xier sighed softly. She knew what Lu Tangyi was thinking. In fact, she felt sorry for her aunt, but the law was merciless. Being killed like this, no matter what the reason is, the murderer can't escape the death penalty. What can they, the little ordinary people, do in front of the Iron Mountain decree?Perhaps for the aunts, it is the best destination to be able to kill their enemies and die cleanly, but for them, the only thing they can do is to do their best to protect those innocent people.

"You also said that women's fame matters a lot. Since County Magistrate Ruan and Ms. Ruan chose to keep this matter a secret, it is their private matter. After all, the reputation of the military guard also involves Ms. Ruan's innocence, so we don't want to talk too much. "

Lu Tang froze for a moment, she didn't expect that Miss Ruan's reputation would be involved, so she heard Hong Xi'er say again: "But you are right, the law of heaven is fair, it's not good for Miss Ruan to carry dirty things before she leaves. name."

Her tone was normal, but Lu Tangyi could still hear the sadness that couldn't be concealed.

"I did this, do you think it is right or wrong?"

Hong Xi'er didn't answer her, but went to the table and poured her a cup of tea.

"In human affairs, there is no absolute right or wrong."

When Lu Tang looked at Hong Xi'er like this, he was in a daze for a moment, as if all causes and effects in the world were the same.

The actual age is obviously a few years younger than himself, so why does he look like an elder who has gone through vicissitudes.

Seeing her lowering her eyebrows and drinking tea in silence, Hong Xier changed the subject and asked, "Where's my recipe? I heard that you have a plan to revitalize the inn."

Lu Tang, who was still thinking about philosophy just now, swallowed his tea with difficulty, and the conversation escaped a bit too quickly.

"I'll go back and write to you."

"Hey!"

As soon as the person stood up, Hong Xi'er stopped her and said, "Don't worry about it, your room is not well lit and you need to light up the wax. I have a pen and paper here, so just write with me."

There is a desk by the window, with a complete set of paper and pens on the desk, and a few books on it.

"It doesn't cost much to light a candle."

Hong Xier originally wanted to serve her a plate of milk and fruit, but when she heard her say this, she slapped her on the head with a fan, "You heartless brat, am I afraid of spending money? Is it because I am afraid that you will spoil your eyes. "

"Hey, I'm joking." Lu Tang laughed twice, rubbed his head and took the plate of milk and fruit in her hand, sat down at the table and glanced at the cover of the book: "Medicine Workshop Records".

"Shopkeeper, why did you study medicine?"

Thinking of Hong Xier's mention of this book when she was in Ruan's house, and her familiarity with her treatment, it doesn't seem like she knew it roughly, but rather studied it seriously.

Hong Xi'er was breaking up milk fruit and preparing to steep it in tea. Hearing this, his hands paused, and the scene when he first met Wang Qi appeared in his mind.The sadness was only for a moment, and soon she adjusted her mood again, and continued to move her hands, "I came across it by chance, and I found it interesting later, so I kept learning."

As soon as Lu Tang stared at her, he naturally noticed her stunned for a moment, but when she saw that people didn't want to say more, she stopped asking, and started to write the recipe seriously.

Huanxi Town is located under the city of Anzhou, the terrain is located in the south, and the taste is sweeter. Perhaps it is because of the lack of supplies in ancient times, and people's tastes are considered light. The dishes heavy in oil and salt in modern restaurants are obviously not suitable.Lu Tang thought about this, and wrote a few more based on the current fruits, vegetables, meat and vegetables.She had asked Yu Lingchu about these dishes beforehand, but the other party said that she had never even heard the names.Since Sister Yu didn't know about it, at least it was the only one in this town when it came out.Fortunately, she liked to eat and watched food shows before time travel, otherwise she really wouldn't remember such detailed side dishes.

She was concentrating on writing this side, while Hong Xier, who was eating good fruit on the other side, also started to stare at her.After looking at it, shopkeeper Hong couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and walked behind Lu Tangyi, looking at the recipe written by her.

Shrimp Balls in Mustard Sauce: Take fresh sea prawns or lake prawns, peel off their backs and remove their threads, then marinate with salt and pepper and a raw egg yolk for half an hour.Then coat the marinated shrimp evenly with starch, and deep-fry until golden.Sauce: Lightly beat the egg yolk, add milk, sugar and cooked oil and keep stirring, then add some white vinegar when it is slightly formed, finally add mustard and stir to combine, and then dip it evenly on the shrimp balls.

Sweet-scented osmanthus eight-treasure rice: Take glutinous rice, fragrant rice, coconut fruit, honey, raisins, red dates, candied fruit, sweet-scented osmanthus for later use, soak black glutinous rice in water for eight hours, and white glutinous rice in water for four hours...

After reading the paper in front of her and Hong Xi'er was about to take another one, Lu Tang put down her pen and said with a wave of her hand, "That's all right. Let's have six dishes first. Six or six dishes will be good for you."

Only then did Hong Xi'er realize that she had written more than three pages and was looking at herself with a smile.

"It's the first time I've seen these dishes, are they your hometown dishes?"

Lu Tang rubbed his nose and said vaguely: "It may be my home cooking. I can't remember the specific ingredients. I can only remember the method and ingredients. The rest has to be considered by Sister Yu."

Hong Xi'er read the recipe from beginning to end, and then began to look at Lu Tangyi. She didn't expect that she might have picked up a treasure.

"It seems that it's a shame to let you just be an accountant. How about it? Do you want to go to the back kitchen to be a chef with your sister Yu?"
