The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 512: Idiot
"You...you dare!" Feng Yongfu hurriedly got up from the ground when he heard this, "How dare you hit someone in broad daylight?"
"You are causing trouble in broad daylight, aren't you? If people like you don't care, won't anyone in the government be able to bully you in the future?"
Shi Bao shouted, "Hurry up, don't waste time, finish beating him as soon as possible and chase him away."
After hearing what Shi Bao said, the other two people, especially the one who had just been scolded, became energized. They went up and dragged Feng Yongfu to the backyard of the yamen.
Feng Yongfu opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but someone blocked his mouth. He could not make any sound and could only struggle hard.
The yamen runners dragged the man to the backyard of the yamen, which was very conspicuous and attracted people to watch.
But as time went by, everyone knew what the government office of this county was like, and when they saw this, they all spat.
"I guess they caught another petty thief. If they catch this kind of person, their hands should be broken so that they won't dare to have such thoughts again."
"That's right. He looks quite old, but still behaves like this. Let's keep him in jail for a few more days and give him a few more beatings. Let's see if he dares to do it again."
The onlookers pointed and talked at Feng Yongfu.
After hearing these words, Feng Yongfu was stunned for a moment, and then he struggled even harder, his face turned red and his neck became thick, but he could not break free from the hands of the two yamen runners. He was so angry that his teeth were itching.
You idiots, you know nothing at all, why do you think about others like that!
The blue veins on Feng Yongfu's forehead were bulging.
After taking care of Feng Yongfu, Shi Bao felt relieved.
This kind of person will never think of the slightest benefit from you no matter what you do, so don't even think about leaving a good reputation in front of him. It's best to just confirm your "bad reputation".
By the way, let everyone know, including Zhuang Qingning.
Shang Chengen, who was standing by, touched his nose with interest.
Not to mention, compared to many yamen runners in other counties who were always shouting and not talking properly, the yamen runners here were not only very polite, but also knew how to do things and were sensible. It can be seen that they were quite capable.
It is enough to show that the county magistrate here is quite good and knows how to manage his subordinates.
"Shopkeeper Shang." Shi Bao bowed to Shang Chengen, "Are you the shopkeeper of the No. 1 Noodle House in the World?"
"That's right." Shang Chengen nodded.
"The noodles in your noodle shop are really delicious. Brother Shen Quan, Shopkeeper Zhuang and I all thought they were very delicious that day. After we came back, we decided to go there again to have a bowl of noodles if we have time in the future."
Shi Bao chuckled and said, "I just don't know why Manager Shang came to see me?"
If he remembered correctly, Shi Bao remembered that Shen Quan paid for the noodles that day.
"To be honest, one of my employees heard you two talking to a shopkeeper Zhuang about these noodles. He said that the noodles made by the shopkeeper Zhuang tasted very good. Since I run a noodle shop, I wanted to ask the shopkeeper Zhuang how these noodles were made."
Shang Chengen answered truthfully, "It's just that the clerk didn't know where the shopkeeper Zhuang was from that day. He only knew that the two of them were wearing the clothes of yamen runners. So I came to the county government office to try to find the shopkeeper Zhuang and talk about the matter of this noodle workshop."
Feng Yongfu had just made a scene here. Although Shang Chengen did not understand the whole story, he had heard about the workshop. It was clear to him that it seemed that only the shopkeeper Zhuang could not open a workshop, so he could take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.
"So you're looking for Zhuang." Shi Bao was relieved immediately. "That's easy. Zhuang is from Enji Village near Sunguang Town. He opened a Zhuangji Tofu Shop in Sunguang Town. Enji Village also opened tofu workshops, bean curd stick workshops, and preserved egg workshops. Enji Village is very famous now. You will know if you ask around."
When Shang Chengen heard this, he immediately became excited.
Since he has opened so many workshops, and I heard that each of them is related to food, then the owner of this village must have a lot of experience in food and cooking.
It seems that his trip this time was really worthwhile! "Thank you for telling me." Shang Chengen bowed and thanked him, "I'll go find the shopkeeper now."
"Manager Shang, take care." Shi Bao saw that Manager Shang seemed to care a lot about this noodle workshop, and he suddenly felt a little comforted.
Not to mention, if Manager Zhuang could turn this disaster into a blessing and find a good partner to open this noodle workshop, it would also be a good thing.
Shi Bao put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the county government office.
Go and see how Feng Yongfu is beating people with the stick.
Shang Chengen went to the tea shed, reached out and took some things from Kugua's hand, and said, "Let's go."
Bitter Melon didn't even finish his bowl of tea. He quickly put down the bowl, paid the old man in the tea stall, and quickly caught up with Shang Chengen who was walking away in big strides. "Boss, where are we going?"
"Go to Enji Manor and look for the owner." Shang Chengen laughed, "Let's discuss a big deal."
Big deal? Bitter Melon blinked.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Driving the carriage and asking along the way, Enjizhuang was not difficult to find. The two soon arrived at the door of Zhuang Qingning's house.
Kugua put down the whip, jumped down from the carriage, and lifted the curtain for Shang Chengen, "Boss, this is it."
After Shang Chengen got off the carriage, Kugua said, "I'll go knock on the door."
"No need, I'll do it." Shang Chengen walked up, cleared his throat, and was about to knock on the door.
But as soon as he raised his hand, the door suddenly opened. Shang Chengen was caught off guard and subconsciously took two steps back.
Zhuang Qingning, who opened the door and was about to go to the field to pick some winter spinach, was not prepared for someone to be at the door. Moreover, it was a stranger. He was also startled, "Who are you looking for?"
When he glanced at the bitter melon beside him, he was even more surprised, "Aren't you the waiter who is the best in the world?"
"That's right." Shang Chengen coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment of being frightened just now, "I am the owner of the No. 1 Noodle House in the World, my last name is Shang."
"It's Shopkeeper Shang." Zhuang Qingning bowed, invited the two into the yard, and poured them some hot tea. "I wonder why Shopkeeper Shang came to see me?"
Shang Chengen did not beat around the bush and directly stated that he wanted to learn Zhuang Qingning's noodle making method and even wanted to open a noodle workshop with Zhuang Qingning.
Zhuang Qingning touched his chin.
Is this like planting flowers intentionally and getting a good result, or planting willows by accident and getting a shade?
I went to Fengjiazhuang with high aspirations, but ended up returning home frustrated. I accidentally stopped by to eat a bowl of noodles and found myself a partner? But I still had to take a look at this partner first.
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "I understand what Shopkeeper Shang means."
