Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 345 The Wolf Beats the Rabbit
The children were like the country folks who entered the city for the first time. They were amazed and excited, and then ran around to the stalls they were interested in. After wandering around, I bought a very vivid and interesting small wooden sculpture, and spent five yuan. I held it in my hand and played with it. Then I followed a few children, and when they had had enough fun, they turned a corner together. Come to the side street next to it.

In fact, it is a side street, but it is not much narrower than the main street. It is enough for four cars to run in parallel. The front and back façades are made of various patterns carved on top-quality pine wood, which is exquisite and beautiful.On the high-hanging plaque, there are various names engraved, such as Zuixianju, Delicious Square, Fumanlou, you name it.

Among them, there is a four-story restaurant next to the crossroads. Although it is only one floor higher than the neighbors, it looks like it stands out from the crowd and looks down on the world.Standing on the side of the building is a one-foot-long and three-foot-wide plaque, with gold characters on a black background, and the words "Xiankelou" are flying like dragons and phoenixes, which is very magnificent.When people see it, they will inevitably have a feeling in their hearts that this restaurant must be the best illusion.

Mu Ai smiled slightly, Xiao Heng is indeed a genius in business, and even used such profound means of psychological suggestion so handy.

The children took out their handkerchiefs and wiped the sweat from their heads, straightened their clothes, and followed their mother into the cyclamen building.

It's officially noon, when the restaurant is the busiest. In the lobby on the first floor, waiters in blue clothes are carrying plates, serving food and wine, and diners are chatting and drinking.

As soon as the mother and son entered the gate, the young man in gray who was in charge of welcoming the guests came trotting over with a smile, bowed his head in salute, and asked politely, "My lord, you want to have dinner here, do you have any familiar friends waiting?"

Mu Ai glanced around and said with a smile, "This is our first time here, there are no friends waiting here, just find us a quiet room."

The young man in gray clothes looked at the attires of Mu Ai's mother and son without a trace, his face was a little perplexed, and he smiled apologetically, "My lord, I'm really sorry, it's dinner time, and the private rooms are already full, so why don't you In this way, you sit on the third floor, where it is very quiet, and there is an empty window seat with a good view, you can enjoy the street view while eating food and wine. What do you think?"

Mu Ai glanced at him with a half-smile, nodded and said, "Lead the way."

The young man in gray hurriedly led the way, with a smile on his face, and muttered in his heart, this young man is probably not an ordinary person. The look just now seemed to see through his heart, but he also has a reason for lying. I reserved a box, but it was reserved by the boss for valuable guests.Just looking at his clothes, this young man should be a wealthy son, but he is not qualified to open that box.

A few people went up to the third floor. As Xiaoer said, it was much quieter than the first floor. There were only ten tables in the spacious hall. Although the other nine tables were already full, the guests were chatting and laughing. Big, with very elegant demeanor, it is obvious that they are people of some status.

The young man in gray led a few people to sit at the mahogany square table by the window, and stepped aside.Immediately, a blue-clothed waiter brought tea and four plates of snacks, and Xiao An took a handful of copper coins from his purse to reward the gray-clothed waiter. He immediately thanked the waiter in gray, and then went downstairs.

The little girl in blue smiled and saluted, handed over a recipe made of very thin sandalwood chips, and asked, "You guys are objective, what do you want to eat, the dishes of our Xianke Restaurant are well-known far and wide, sure You eat it once and want a second time."

Mu Ai looked at the wood chip carefully, and it matched the plaque outside. It was also on a black background. The names and prices of various dishes were written in gold lacquer on the front, and the prices of drinks and staple foods were written on the back, regardless of the font. The workmanship is still very delicate and ingenious, which shows that the people who made it have put a lot of effort into it.

"Come and serve eight of your signature dishes, four meat and four vegetables. You can see how they match. As for the main course, two plates of beef pies are fine."

The little girl in blue responded respectfully, took the menu and went downstairs to order. Muai, mother and son sat by the window, while blowing the slightly hot summer wind, while eating melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks to relieve boredom.

Simba is impatient, and he would lie at the window and look around from time to time. Unfortunately, Cheng'er was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he saw a man in a brocade gown with a full face, kicking over the old man's stall by the side of the road, and the old man immediately knelt down. After kowtowing to make amends, the young master left cursingly with his entourage.

Simba frowned tightly, turned around and said angrily, "Mom, are the people here bad?"

Mu Ai was peeling peanuts for his youngest daughter to eat. Hearing some injustice in his youngest son's tone, he asked, "What did you see, and you came to such a conclusion? How can you overturn a boat of people with one pole? Arbitrary?"

Simba scratched the back of his head, thought for a while, and felt that he had spoken too much, so he explained, "Someone kicked over an old man's stall just now, and the old man kowtowed to him to apologize. Reasonable, he still swears at people, so I said that the people here are not good."

Dayu smiled slightly, poured a cup of tea for his younger brother, and said, "Such people are still a minority after all, there are good people and bad people everywhere."

Xing'er also smiled and said, "That's right, an old woman gave me a small sachet just now, without asking for money." After speaking, she pulled up the scarlet sachet on her waist and showed it to Simba.

Simba made a grimace, "Whoever gives you something is a good person. If you meet a kidnapper, I will give you a piece of candy, and you can go with him."

Xing'er blushed from Simba's choking, hugged her mother's arm and complained, "Mom, look at second brother, he always bullies me."

"Okay, okay, why are you two arguing all day long, and there is no end." Mu Ai couldn't laugh or cry, comforted the little daughter, then looked at the still angry little son and said, "While the food hasn't come In time, mother will tell you a story."

"Okay, okay." Xing'er quickly agreed, she likes to listen to her mother telling stories the most, Dayu Simba, and Xiao An also nodded.

Mu Ai took a sip of tea, "Once upon a time, a rabbit bought a new hat and was very happy, so he went out to play, but when he was walking on the road, he met a wolf, and the wolf stepped forward and slapped the rabbit. The rabbit was very wronged and asked, why did you hit me? The wolf said, who made you wear a hat!
The rabbit took off his hat when he got home, but on the second day, the rabbit was unlucky and met the wolf again, the wolf stepped forward and slapped the rabbit again, and the rabbit asked, why did you hit me?The wolf said, who told you not to wear a hat!
The rabbit was very wronged, so he sued the tiger, the king of the mountain. The tiger sent him back softly, and then called the wolf and said, if you want to bully other rabbits, you must find a name. Ask him to find you an apple to eat. If he finds a big one, you say you want a small one, and if he finds a red one, you say you want a green one. Then you will have an excuse to beat him.Unexpectedly, their words were heard by the rabbit hiding outside.

Later, when the wolf met the rabbit, the wolf really asked the rabbit to find him an apple, and the rabbit asked, do you want the big one or the small one?The wolf said he wanted the big one, but the rabbit asked again, "Do you want the red one or the green one?"

The wolf was furious, so he stretched out his hand and slapped the rabbit. The rabbit cried and asked, why did you hit me again?

The wolf said, who told you not to wear a hat! "

The children laughed, Simba lay on the table rubbing his belly, and said, "This wolf is so funny." After laughing, Xing Er pouted, "Why does this wolf always bully little rabbits? broken."

Only after Dayu laughed, his heart moved, he looked up to see his mother's eyes full of pity and wisdom, suddenly understood something, and began to meditate.

Mu Ai waited for the children to calm down, and then said, "Why can the wolf bully the rabbit casually, because the big fist is the last word. The rabbit can't beat the wolf, and has no ability to resist, so no matter whether the wolf has a reasonable excuse, it can Bullying the rabbit. Why did the old man kneel down to the person who kicked over his stall just now? Because he is not as rich and powerful as that person, and he has no strength to resist. Therefore, he knelt down to make amends and avoided the person beating him And many troubles, the old man is very wise."

Dayu nodded, and Simba continued to speak, but was interrupted by a person next to him, "I don't agree with what this young master said."

Everyone in Muai turned their heads and saw that they were talking about the story just now and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation. The whole third floor had quieted down at some point, and everyone looked at their table with interest, presumably they had heard the story With the conclusion just now, someone refuted it aloud.

The speaker was a young man in his twenties, with a blue satin gown, a jade crown and hair, black eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, tight lips, and a faint breath of fresh air on his forehead, giving people a very upright look .At this time, he bowed his head and bowed, and said, "It is impolite to interrupt the conversation of the young master at will, but I really don't agree with what the young master said just now. According to the young master, you can do whatever you want with a big fist. If you don't get beaten, you have to bow your head to the evil forces, so why do you need the word king in this world?"

Mu Ai lowered his head and took a sip of tea, without getting up, and said with a smile, "Of course there are laws and justice in this world. However, if that old man was filled with righteous indignation and tried to reason with that wicked person, he would definitely be beaten up, and in the end there would be trouble. Go to the Yamen, how does this young master think the Yamen will judge this case?"

The young man in Tsing Yi immediately replied, "Of course, the case is judged fairly according to the law. Baihua Law Criminal Chapter, Article 340, if you beat someone at will and cause others to be injured, you must pay for the medical expenses and pay a fine of less than 100 taels of silver. "This young man is obviously very familiar with the law, and he recited the relevant regulations with his mouth open.
