Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang naturally had no idea what Xu Mengru was thinking at the moment. He didn't even see where Xu Mengru was.

After enduring Shi Liguo's verbal humiliation, Chen Lang returned to the kitchen to prepare the next dish.

In the next half hour, including the first dish of carrot stewed lamb, Chen Lang made a total of eight dishes.

While showing off his cooking skills to the fullest, he also made clear arrangements for Shi Liguo.

Shi Liguo didn't expect that Chen Lang's cooking skills were so good. He couldn't find any fault with the taste of every dish.

Shi Liguo even thought of kidnapping Chen Lang and bringing him back home to be his cook.

But today's banquet, in addition to declaring its dominance over Nanhe County to the gentry and merchants of Nanhe County, also has another purpose: to deal with Chen Lang and thus acquire shares in his tofu shop.

Every dish is so delicious that I have no reason to punish Chen Lang.

Just when Shi Liguo was thinking about how to start, Chen Lang took out his last killer weapon, high-proof liquor with ice cubes.

"Sir, this is the wine I brewed myself, please have a taste." Chen Lang held the wine pot in both hands and handed it to Shi Liguo respectfully.

Shi Liguo took it and let out a hissing sound: "Why is it so cold?"

Chen Lang said, "Sir, I put some ice cubes in the wine jug to make the wine taste better."

Shi Liguo opened the lid of the wine flask, and a strong aroma of wine penetrated his nose. He couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!"

The other guests at the main table also looked eagerly at the wine jug in Shi Liguo's hand, wanting to have a share.

Because this wine is so fragrant.

Shi Liguo handed the wine jug to Chen Lang again and asked him to pour a glass for the guests first.

By doing this, you can firstly check whether there is poison in the wine, and secondly, it can also show your respect for others.

The guests picked up their wine glasses, sniffed them carefully, and a dazed look appeared on their faces.

Xiaomin took a bite and the wonderful taste was beyond words.

"I've been drinking wine for most of my life, and this is the first time I've experienced what nectar is."

"If I can drink this kind of wine, I will have no regrets for the rest of my life."

"Young man, you said you brewed this wine yourself? Can you tell me how you brewed it?"

Seeing that everyone had drunk and nothing happened, Shi Liguo immediately signaled Chen Lang to pour him a glass to try.

The taste was indeed completely different from any wine they had drunk before, and none of the guests praised it.

At this moment, someone happened to be asking Chen Lang about the winemaking method. Shi Liguo immediately coughed twice and said, "Everyone here is a respectable person. How can you come up and ask for someone's secret method? You wouldn't share your family's secret formula with anyone casually, right?"

The merchant who asked the question looked embarrassed and said, "Your Excellency is right. It was my fault. Young man, please don't take it to heart."

Shi Liguo was naturally not so kind. The reason he said this was that he had already regarded Chen Lang's wine-making recipe as his own.

How can you let others know about your own things?

Shi Liguo looked at Chen Lang and asked, "How much of this wine do you have left?"

Chen Lang said, "Your Excellency, this kind of wine is extremely difficult to brew. I have only brewed three pots, weighing about two kilograms."

"Bring them all up." Shi Liguo waved his hand and said.

After Chen Lang brought all the white wine, the guests at the main table thought that they could get at least one or two taels. However, Shi Liguo didn't give them a single drop and drank it all by himself.

For the ancients who often drank liquor with a concentration of ten or even several degrees, 42-degree liquor was no different from poison.

Chen Lang put a lot of ice cubes in the wine jug, so the wine did not have too much spicy taste after entering the mouth, so Shi Liguo drank one glass after another with no sign of stopping.

While enjoying the white wine, Shi Liguo also kept eating dishes, especially stewed lamb with carrots and salt-baked spare ribs, which were his favorites.

These are also the two dishes that Chen Lang most hopes Shi Liguo will eat up.

By the time the food on the table was almost finished, Shi Liguo was already completely drunk.

He had already left the matter of dealing with Chen Lang to Java.

After the servants carried Shi Liguo into the sedan chair and left, the banquet was declared over.

Zhao Xiongwei looked at the sedan chair going away, feeling helpless and angry.

My dear county magistrate, we agreed to deal with Chen Lang, why are you just eating and drinking?

If we miss this opportunity today, we don’t know when we will be able to deal with Chen Lang again.

Besides, Lord Fan’s vacation is about to end. When he returns to the county government to compete with you, will you still have time to deal with Chen Lang?

Zhao Xiongwei sighed and expressed regret, while Chen Lang returned to the tofu shop with ease. After taking a shower, he hugged Li Xiuzhi and fell asleep soundly.

Li Xiuzhi didn't know that Chen Lang went to work as a cook today, but he actually went there to kill Shi Liguo. She was frightened at home for most of the night. When she saw Chen Lang came back and looked normal, and even took a shower and went to bed, he still had the mind to rub his chest, she knew that her husband should be fine.

But problems soon arose.

After Chen Lang rubbed it for a while, his other hand moved stealthily downwards.

Li Xiuzhi has a sensitive constitution and cannot withstand such teasing. Her body temperature slowly rises and she begins to tremble.

After Chen Lang's hand slipped into the abyss, Li Xiuzhi turned around and hugged Chen Lang tightly.

Lights out

……

The next morning, a scream echoed throughout the county magistrate's residence.

Shi Liguo's concubine ran out of the house in disheveled clothes, crying and shouting, "Master is dead."

This news spread throughout the Nanhe County officialdom like a tornado in an instant.

Fan Cheng, who was resting at home, dropped the teacup in his hand to pieces after hearing what happened.

"What's wrong with you so early in the morning?" Fan Cheng was quite distressed by the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor.

He had used this teacup for many years and loved it very much, but it ended up breaking like this.

Deng Jie said, "Sir, I am not crazy. The county magistrate is really dead."

Only then did Fan Cheng realize that something was wrong and he stood up and ran out.

I hurried to the county magistrate's mansion and heard bursts of sad cries before I even entered the door.

Fan Cheng went straight to the door of the concubine's room and took a look inside.

Shi Liguo's wife was sitting on the bed crying, and his two concubines were kneeling on the ground crying.

Fan Cheng didn't rush in, but waited for Sun Sizhen to arrive before entering the room together.

When Shi Liguo's wife saw Fan Cheng, she immediately cried and begged, "Master Fan, please help our master. He was so healthy and gone, he must have been murdered!"

Fan Cheng said, "Madam, please calm down. Let Dr. Sun check it out first to find out what the cause is."

"If Lord Shi was indeed murdered, I swear I will do my utmost to apprehend the murderer and bring justice to him."

After a thorough examination, Sun Sizhen calmly said, "There are no signs of poisoning. It wasn't murder."

Mrs. Shi Liguo was not happy with this and said that Sun Sizhen did not check carefully at all and was just perfunctory.

Sun Sizhen snorted and said, "Since you don't believe me, then let the coroner from the government office perform an autopsy."

"Farewell!"

After saying that, he left with the medicine box.

When Fan Cheng saw Mrs. Shi Liguo looking at him, he felt his scalp tingle and said hurriedly, "Madam, don't panic. I will report this matter to the prefect immediately and ask them to send the best coroner to investigate."

Then he turned around and walked away quickly.
