peasant young lady

Chapter 104

"What's wrong with him? Isn't it true that evil will be rewarded with evil?" Cheng Xia jokingly said with a light snort.It is said that the scourge lasted for thousands of years, is he so prone to accidents?

But seeing Aunt Han nod her head affirmatively, Cheng Xia's footsteps stopped immediately, she turned her head to look at Wang Hanxiao in disbelief, her brows were tightly furrowed with inextricable doubt and embarrassment, "Is Yuanwai Liu dead? "

so suddenly?It has only been half a month since Liu Yuanwai kidnapped him, did the retribution come so quickly?

Wang Hanxiao nodded again, and pointed in Liu Wen's direction, "Look at his feet."

Cheng Xia looked down and saw a white mourning cloth tied around Liu Wen's ankle, which really looked like mourning.Cheng Xia suddenly laughed when he saw it. Liu Yuanwai's housekeeper used to say that Liu Wen was a relative of them outside of the fifth service. Hmph, it's ironic that Liu Wen was still willing to wear hemp and mourning after the fifth service.

However, "Aunt Han, why did Liu Yuanwai die suddenly?" On the day of the county yamen, the dog officer sent the yamen messenger to Liu Yuanwai's house. Wasn't he still alive at that time?

Wang Hanxiao sighed, "Liu Yuanwai was whipped to death and bled to death, his whole body was rotten, I heard that he was finally found in the torture room of Liu Yuanwai's mansion, but his family didn't know about it, think about it, Liu Yuanwai received so many whips, why not scream? The sound must be very shrill, but his family didn’t hear it. Later, Liu Yuanwai’s wife woke up in the middle of the night and found that Liu Yuanwai was not around, so she looked everywhere.”

Lash?Cheng Xia was shocked suddenly, is it a coincidence?She was whipped, and Liu Yuanwai was whipped to death.

"When did it happen?" Cheng Xia asked impatiently.

After careful calculation, Wang Hanxiao said, "On the night of the 24th of last month."

"Then when I came to the county town last time at the market, Yuanwai Liu was already dead. Why didn't Aunt Han tell me?"

"Isn't it because you are afraid that you will be stimulated just after waking up? Now Liu Yuanwai has been buried. As for the white cloth on Liu Wen's feet, I don't know who it is for." Wang Hanxiao shook his head. People like Liu Wen The product is really bad.

Thinking of this, Wang Hanxiao couldn't help but recall that on the schedule, he went to the pharmacy to get medicine in fear, and he deliberately covered himself with a few more layers of veils, thinking that they would not be able to recognize them, but he didn't know that Cheng Shang's concealed appearance was more attractive look sideways.

She came to grab the medicine, and Wang Hanxiao knew that Liu Wen was frightened and fainted when he heard the news that Liu Yuanwai had been flogged to death. He must have a guilty conscience, and he might have followed Liu Yuanwai's footsteps.

All Cheng Xia's thoughts are still in the news that Liu Yuanwai was flogged to death. On the 24th, the day Yang Dalang left, was it because of Yang Dalang?

He has such a great ability, can he quietly avoid everyone's eyes and ears, get Liu Yuanwai into the execution room, and then flog him to death?
If it is really Yang Dalang, is he venting his anger for himself?
Although it was still just suspicion, a warm current ran through Cheng Xia's heart unconsciously. Because he was bullied, he wanted to vent his anger on himself. It feels so good to be put on the tip of his heart.

"Hey, Xiao Xia, what are you thinking?" Wang Hanxiao called Cheng Xia a few times, but when she didn't respond, he waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Cheng Xia came back to her senses in embarrassment, and smiled shyly, "I'm fine, Aunt Han, I'm going to serve the guests right now."

The chef happened to finish the dishes ordered by Liu Wen and Cheng Shang. Cheng Xia took them over and walked in front of Liu Wen. She was wearing a mask, so she wasn't afraid he would recognize her.When Cheng Xia politely put the food on the table, he couldn't help but look at Liu Wen. Yintang had dark circles under his eyes, and his face drooped extremely. It looked like he couldn't sleep all night. .

Cheng Xia snorted coldly, it's all like this, don't order some medicine to treat insomnia and dreaminess, but also order some bullwhip tonifying kidney soup, just remember the matter of men and women, it's disgusting.

Thinking about it, Cheng Xia arranged the meals one by one, and suddenly raised her voice a few times and said in a rough voice, "Guests take it easy, this turtle meat tonifying kidney soup and wormwood stewed bullwhip are both excellent medicinal materials, guaranteed to be used by guests happy."

Cheng Xia's meaningless words made the surrounding guests burst into laughter when they heard it, and even ordered so many kidney-reinforcing things, it's not hard to imagine how vain this person really is, what a loss.

Liu Wen's expression was trembling, and he took the bowls and chopsticks in Cheng Xia's hands heavily, gouged her twice like a knife, Cheng Xia didn't care, and continued to put the last staple food in front of Liu Wen, but this time Whispered, "Our lady boss specially presented a rose ice porridge, I hope the guests will be satisfied with it."

After Cheng Xia finished speaking, he backed out, walked up to Wang Hanxiao, shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "When I see him now, I want to tear him into pieces."

Wang Hanxiao patted Cheng Xia on the shoulder, "Take your time, don't rush."

Cheng Xia nodded, looked at Xiao Wu standing in the direction of the entrance of the medicinal food shop, and then walked towards Wang Hanxiao, "Miss Boss, the lady is here."

Wang Hanxiao suddenly smiled, turned around and smiled apologetically at Cheng Xia, "My niece is here, I'll go and have a look."

"Aunt Han, you are busy, I will continue to help here." Cheng Xia watched Wang Hanxiao leave the herbal cuisine workshop, and continued to go back and forth between the guests and the kitchen.

Cheng Xia actually thought about it. The first day must have had a lot of customers, but he didn't expect it to be so large. From the busy morning to the lunch time, Cheng Xia didn't stop to catch his breath at all, his legs were numb, and his arms They were all trembling, but the guests still came and went wave after wave. Cheng Xia found a free time to sit on a small stool in the corner panting, too tired, feeling as if she wanted to die.

This is what Wang Hanxiao saw when he entered the medicated dining room. He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. He walked over and pulled Cheng Xia up, and took her to the second floor of the pharmacy for dinner. Move, she is so hungry, her stomach is already growling.

While eating, Cheng Xia asked curiously, "Where's your niece? Has she left?"

"Well, she came here to take a look at my father's order. She was worried that something might happen on the first day of opening. She just stayed here for a long time and felt that everything was normal, so she left." Wang Hanxiao clipped Cheng Xia Said while eating vegetables. "She just stood at the window on the second floor of the pharmacy and saw you busy, and said that although she didn't see your face, she should feel that you are a great beauty."

"Me?" Cheng Xia raised her finger and pointed at herself, suddenly smiled, "I'm so tired, Aunt Han, do you think I'm sitting or eating or not, and I'm a beauty, I can't afford it. "

"You," Wang Hanxiao pampered her nose, "I started squandering capital because I was beautiful since I was a child. My niece was called 'the most talented girl in the capital' by the people of the capital. Not only is she talented, She is also beautiful, she has seen countless beauties in the capital, and there is really no one that she can praise, you are the first, and it is because I have not seen what you look like."

Cheng Xia couldn't help laughing suddenly, seeing Aunt Han staring at her, she restrained herself a little, coughed lightly and said as solemnly as possible, "Okay, thank you for Aunt Han's niece, please thank her for me, someday When she comes again, Aunt Han must remember to introduce me to her, and I promise to make her take back her opinion."

"Come on, you, hurry up and eat," Wang Hanxiao could only laugh at her unserious appearance, seeing that she was really hungry, quickly put some more food into her bowl, and told her to eat more.

Cheng Xia saw that it was past lunch time, but fortunately she was not in a hurry to go back, she had already agreed with Uncle Tian on the way here that she would go back later so that Uncle Tian would not have to wait for her, Aunt Han had already said , Cheng Xia will stay here on the opening day of the Herbal Food Shop. After all, she has no idea, and she will feel more at ease with Cheng Xia in her heart.

As for going home at night, it's not easy. Shopkeeper Shang asked Xiao Wu to drive Cheng Xia back.

Thinking of Chen's side-by-side inquiring about Wang Hanxiao before coming here in the morning, Cheng Xia was puzzled again. Could it be that Aunt Han and Chen's have something to do with each other?
Who was the person Chen married before?Is it Shao?Why does it feel so mysterious?
While biting a piece of yam and chewing carefully, Cheng Xia began to diverge her thinking again. What happened to Mr. Liu just now gave her a new idea. She suddenly wanted to know what the living environment of Chen Shi and Yang Dalang was like before.

"What are you thinking about?" Wang Hanxiao looked carefully at Cheng Xia's expression and knocked on the table, "Eat a meal so seriously."

"I know, Aunt Han," Cheng Xia stuck out her tongue/head playfully, stopped thinking about it, concentrated on eating enough, and then watched the waiter hand over the bill for the morning.

Cheng Xia leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but be speechless when he saw it. In one morning, the ingredients needed to make those meals cost more than 100 taels of silver. Cheng Xia didn't expect to order so many dishes. When I arrived at the pharmacy, there was already a thick stack of dishes ordered for each table. It is not difficult to imagine how busy the chefs in the kitchen are.

Wang Hanxiao didn't expect to order so many dishes, and the cost was so expensive. She and Shang Liangzhong had already made full preparations, but obviously, the ingredients that were going to be used for a day were too short for half a day. up.

Wang Hanxiao immediately ordered Xiao Wu to take his buddies out to buy food ingredients. Before Xiao Wu left, Wang Hanxiao also specifically instructed that if some ingredients were really unavailable, they should go to Tianyou Restaurant to borrow them.

Cheng Xia looked at Wang Hanxiao curiously, "Aunt Han, shouldn't Tianyou Restaurant compete with us? Can you go directly to their kitchen to get ingredients?"

Seeing that Cheng Xia was full, Wang Hanxiao dragged her downstairs and said, "We know the owner of Tianyou Restaurant, so we can count as watching him grow up, so naturally we have a close relationship."

Uh?Cheng Xia was stunned. Tianyou Restaurant is a national chain in modern terms, and the owner must be a powerful and powerful official. Cheng Xia thought he was an old man in his seventies, but from Aunt Han's words, the owner was obviously young.

When I got off the first floor of the pharmacy, the shopkeeper was busy seeing patients, because most of the staff went to the medicated food shop to help, and they were a bit too busy for a while, so Aunt Han went over to help grab the medicine.

Cheng Xia put on the veil and walked towards the medicine shop opposite.

The inside is still in full swing, so you don't need to think about it to know that there are more people eating, and she is full of wine and food, so let's continue to be the waiter in the shop.

Walking to the door, he bumped into the person who was about to come out. Cheng Xia couldn't dodge in time, and fell to the side.

Just when Cheng Xia thought she was going to fall, there was someone behind her who could help her to avoid the predicament of falling.

Cheng Xia turned her head to express her thanks, but when she saw the man's face, she froze there, unable to recover for a moment.
