Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 268

Zhong Ruyi was counting money in the restaurant when he heard a commotion outside the door.

The sound was so loud that several tables of diners in the restaurant took their bowls and went out to see what was going on.

Jiang Qin also went out to take a look, and Zhong Ruyi asked him what was going on outside?

"It seems that General Jiang has captured the leader of the bandits, and now he has tied him up and is parading him in the streets."

Upon hearing this, the guests at other tables could no longer sit still.

Finally, a guest who was carrying a bowl out poured all the food on the plate into his own bowl while they were not paying attention and then followed them out to watch the fun.

Zhong Ruyi also went out to take a look. When she went out, the bandits who were parading in the streets were already at the end, and she didn't see what the cruel and merciless Lin Zai looked like.

A few uncles and aunts were holding rotten vegetable leaves and throwing them at the bandits at the end.

While throwing the words, he cursed, "You have hands and feet, but you insist on doing something so shameful! Your parents forgot your conscience when they gave birth to you! How could you do such a life-threatening thing!"

"You are so shameless. You have good hands and feet, but you don't want to make money from the machine, but want to steal it from others. Damn you!"

The bandits lowered their heads, not daring to raise them. One of them was still a little unconvinced and raised his head and opened his mouth to argue with the old man and aunt, but a handful of rotten vegetable leaves was stuffed into his mouth, and he could not say anything.

It is now noon time, and many customers have come out of restaurants and bars, watching the fun with bowls in their hands.

Some even threw the bones they had gnawed clean at the bandits.

Zhong Ruyi was standing outside the crowd watching. Next to her was Grandma Ji, who looked excited. She was also holding a handful of rotten vegetable leaves in her hand, which she had just picked up from the ground. They were dropped by someone else.

Xiaoyu also looked angry and whispered to her, "Sister Ruyi, I heard from my grandma that there was a peddler on the street where we live who was met by bandits when he was carrying goods to sell. He was dead for several days before being discovered!"

Her eyes fell on the bandits, and she felt even more disgusted. "I saw the peddler's wife and children sitting at the door crying. They were so pitiful."

Zhong Ruyi asked Grandma Ji for some rotten vegetable leaves, and then threw them at the bandit whose feet were bound with iron chains.

They are so cruel and ruthless. If they had only robbed things and not killed people, they would not have been punished like this today.

The voices of the uncles and aunts who were surrounding them were getting louder and louder, and they were so excited that they wanted to go up and beat them up.

If the soldiers hadn't stopped them, these bandits would probably not have been able to leave the street alive.

After watching the excitement, Zhong Ruyi returned to the restaurant. The restaurant was originally full of guests, but now only one of the ten tables was left.

But soon, when the bandits finished their parade, the guests came back with their bowls.

The guests at one of the tables remembered that they had just eaten half of the dishes on the table before going to watch the fun, so how come there were only a few empty plates left when they came back?

My eyes turned to the companion who went out last. They all had grease on their mouths, but it was obvious that he had more grease on his mouth.

"Damn it! Did you just pour all the food into your bowl?"

The companion pretended to be confused and shook his head, "I don't know."

"It's you! You ate secretly and didn't even wipe your mouth!"

Several people started to attack their companions, which attracted the attention of others.

Zhong Ruyi was in the kitchen. She had picked a lot of apples from the apple tree in the yard when she was at home the day before yesterday. Now she brought a basket and mixed them with the apples from the space to fill up a back basket, ready to take them to the store.

There are many rich people there, and many of them like to eat these expensive fruits. Even if one fruit costs dozens of coins, there will still be people who will pay for it.

Speaking of apples, Zhong Ruyi remembered that in order to avoid her own apple tree from attracting too much attention, she specially planted another one on the mountain.

As a result, someone in the village picked all the ripe apples in the middle of the night and secretly brought them to the town to sell.

Other villagers who had not thought of this originally wanted to pick a few apples from the mountain to take home and satisfy their children's cravings, but when they got up they found that all the apples on the trees had been picked empty.

There was only a bare tree left standing there, and when I looked up, I saw a pile of shit on it from a bird flying by.

She met other villagers who had come up the mountain to pick apples, and they were furious when they saw that there were no apples on the trees.

"Who is this? Why is he so selfish?"

"Who knew? How wicked! I had coaxed my granddaughter into picking a few for her today to sweeten her mouth, but now there's nothing left!"

Several people went down the mountain angrily. Even if they asked the village chief for help, there was nothing they could do. After all, the village chief had no control over the wild fruit trees on the mountain.

However, within a few days, someone saw Tian Laoer carrying a basket full of apples to the town to sell. When he came back to the village and told people about it, everyone in the village knew that all the apples on the mountain had been picked by Tian Laoer alone.

When the villagers met Tian Laoer, they said to him in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, isn't this Tian Laoer? Where have you been making money these days? I haven't seen you for so long, and you look like a decent person now, right?"

"Yes, the clothes that Tian Laoer is wearing are new! I don't know where he got rich, and he didn't even bother to take care of our villagers."

Tian Laoer had not yet realized that he had been discovered stealing apples, but even if he knew, these sarcastic words would not hurt him at all.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "No, the clothes are made of new cloth that my mother bought for me with her salary."

His words made others jealous. Everyone in the village knew that his mother was valued by the daughter of the Zhong family. She had become a team leader in the workshop and her monthly salary was higher than others.

Looking at Tian Laoer's smug look, this kid wouldn't take anything other people said to heart.

After the people walked away, he spit on the ground, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just watching Aunt Tian being a team leader in the workshop? He is not the team leader himself! Look how proud he is! It makes me angry!"

After saying a few sour words about the Tian family, they talked about the general sent by the court recently to suppress bandits and the fact that the village chief of Jiangjia Village sold the children of their own village.

Everyone was angry and sighing. They were angry about what Jiang Jie had done, and sighing for the children who had been sold.

"I heard that the chief of Jiangjia Village killed a little girl first, which caused all these things?"

"That's what I heard. It's said that after killing the little girl, he tricked all her brothers and sisters away and sold them. He was afraid that others would find out about him, so he deliberately sent his son to his wife's family's house to hide him for a few days, making people think that his son was abducted along with those children."

"What a sin!"

"Who says it's not true? You said this person sold the child once, and he actually got a taste of the sweetness, thinking that he could get several taels of silver by selling a child, and he actually sold all the children in the village one after another over the years! How can he be so evil!?"

"This man will get his comeuppance sooner or later! Poor those children."

*

All ten tables in the store were occupied. Zhong Ruyi held up a pair of sliced ​​apples and said with a smile, "Sir, this is free. Let me give you a taste."

The guest looked at the plate of chopped fruit with some curiosity. After finishing his meal, he picked up a piece with a wooden skewer and tasted it. Immediately, his eyes lit up.

"Boss, what kind of fruit is this? How much do you sell it for?"
