Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 381

After visiting the orchard, the group went down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the county magistrate found a cool place to sit with a slice of watermelon in his hand. When he saw them coming down, he waved, "The weather is too hot! Come and taste the watermelon sent by the villagers!"

Zhao Ganwei secretly curled his lips, thinking that you said you wanted to come and see the orchard, but after walking a few steps you said you were tired and didn't want to go anymore. Now you're just like those people who went up the mountain and came down, and still know how to enjoy themselves, eating melons and asking people to fan them.

"Sir, County Magistrate, we have finished looking. What about you?" Mr. Fang looked at him with a smile, feeling a little depressed. Originally, he brought his people here by himself, but when he passed by the yamen, he was seen by the County Magistrate, who insisted on following him.

Mr. Fang really looked down upon this county magistrate more and more. He had ambition but no ability. For example, in the previous incident with the bandits, so many children were abducted, but only three or four were found so far. It was the parents who went through great pains to find the place and bring them back. It was obvious that he did not treat his people wholeheartedly.

The county magistrate was eating the melon by himself, and he sighed as he ate, "This melon is really good. When I go back later, I will bring a few back for my family to taste."

The people present thought he bought it with money, but they were dumbfounded after the people left.

The carriage had already gone far away, and the melons were carried onto the carriage by several officers, but no money was given!

The villagers were extremely anxious. "Village chief! Even if he is an official, he can't take the common people's things for free, right?! I took good care of my melons! He just picked twenty of them and left?!"

Zhao Ganwei originally thought that they were going to stay for dinner, so he hurried back to ask his family to cook and kill a chicken for noon.

As a result, when they came back, they were gone, and took away the melons that the villagers had worked so hard to grow!

He was so angry that his face turned red. He promised the villagers, "I will go to him and ask for money now. Even if he is an official, he still needs to pay for his things!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

The villagers were a little worried. "Can the village chief get the money back? Otherwise, forget it. Twenty melons are not a lot..."

But the village chief had already walked away, and no one could hear what he said. Only an angry back was left behind.

Here, Chen Dongzhi and Dafeng traveled lightly without having to drag a large group with them, so they traveled much faster.

When they arrived in Wuzhou, the two went straight to the Meng family's herbal medicine shop.

The shopkeeper was fiddling with his abacus. When he saw someone coming in, he just looked up and was about to speak with a smile, but he found out that it was his boss's savior. His eyes lit up instantly, "How did you two young men have time to come? Our young lady went to the inn to look for you twice but didn't see you. I thought you must have gone back." While he was talking, he called his daughter, "Ayao, go to the mansion and tell the young lady that the two young men are here."

A Yao nodded and skipped out.

Chen Dongzhi was unable to stop them and just let them go.

"Boss, the owner of the bezoar we bought last time said that it was of good quality, so he asked us to buy some more."

He did not repeat Mrs. Yu's exact words verbatim, for fear that the people in the herbal medicine shop would raise the price after hearing them.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper poured them some tea and said with a smile, "You finally came at the right time. Not long after you left that day, we received another batch of high-quality bezoars. They are still here. I'll go get them out."

The two sat and waited in the store. Soon, A Yao came first, followed by a young woman in her thirties.

The woman looked much better than when he saw her in the alley that day. Chen Dongzhi just glanced at her and didn't look at her any more.

When Meng Yuzheng heard A Yao say that two of the young men who saved her that day were now in the store, she put down the account book in her hand and came over. She had to thank them properly.

"Where are you two from? I went to the inn where you stayed last time and wanted to thank you, but you had already left."

Chen Dongzhi and Dafeng stood up. Meng Yuzheng looked at the two young men and thought of his two younger brothers. If they were still alive, they would probably be the same age as them.

Da Feng said a little embarrassedly, "It's just a small favor, no need to say thank you. How are you feeling?"

Meng Yuzheng smiled and shook his head. "It's an old problem. It's nothing serious. It just occurs intermittently."

After the three of them sat down and chatted for a while, they learned that they were from the escort agency and that they came specifically to help someone bring bezoar.

She looked at the shopkeeper who happened to be carrying the bezoars out, "Uncle Meng, do you still have the bezoars that you collected last time?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Here, these are the ones left."

Mrs. Yu wanted a large quantity, and it just so happened that the Meng family's herbal medicine shop had enough. Chen Dongzhi followed the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

Dafeng stayed to talk to Meng Yuzheng and learned that she often felt dizzy and even after taking medicine, the symptoms would relapse from time to time. He thought that Zhang Mingzhu also had this symptom during this period.

"My wife's cousin told her to carry some candy with her and put a piece of it in her mouth when she felt dizzy to relieve the discomfort."

Meng Yuzheng was surprised, "Sugar?"

"Yes, any kind of sugar will do, or anything with a little sweetness will do."

Dafeng was talking to his wife one time when she suddenly started sweating and shaking. He was so anxious that he wanted to rush out to see a doctor while holding her.

"...No need...Go to the table and get me a piece of candy...I'll be fine soon." Dafeng took a piece of candy and asked her to suck on it, then he hurried out with her to see the doctor.

But who would have thought that Zhang Mingzhu would stop feeling dizzy halfway through the journey, and she put her arms around his neck and said that there was no need to see a doctor and that they wanted to go back.

He was worried, so he went to the clinic and saw a doctor.

I prescribed some medicine but my wife refused to take it, saying that she was just like that because she was pregnant and that it would be fine after she gave birth.

"Ruyi said that if a situation like what just happened happened, let me eat a piece of candy, and I would feel better soon after I relaxed."

Dafeng was skeptical, but he had seen what had happened just now. It turned out that the man was fine within a few minutes after he took the sugar.

When Meng Yuzheng heard that it was really so miraculous, she widened her eyes slightly. She had had this problem for many years. During these seven years, Zhao Cunliang had chained her hands, feet and neck and locked her in a narrow and dark woodshed like a dog.

She often went hungry for days on end. Not only was there no food, but even no water. She would often try to stick her head out when it rained, hoping to catch some rainwater to drink.

This disease was contracted at that time, and the doctor was helpless and could only let her eat enough, walk less, and rest more.

"Then I'll try it. If it really works, I have to thank her." Meng Yuzheng said.

From her casual conversation, Dafeng learned that this sister looked older, but her actual age was only twenty-five, not thirty as she looked.

He was a little embarrassed. He suddenly brought up this topic because Meng Yuzheng was curious about why he got married and had children so early?

"Yes, we just got married not long ago!" When he said this, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Meng Yuzheng looked at him as if he saw his two brothers who were no longer with him, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. "You look so young, I thought you were only fifteen or sixteen years old, but I didn't expect you to be old enough to be a father."

Speaking of age, Dafeng casually asked her how old she was this year? Was she already thirty? Of course, he didn't ask the last part, he just asked how old she was.

When he learned that she was only twenty-five, Dafeng's face turned red.
