Farming and slapping face through time travel

The next day.

The restaurant is not open today, Qi Xuan came early in the morning, he came in a carriage, Shen Jiyao went out to look after hearing the knock on the door, he was a little surprised to see that it was Qi Xuan, he came so early, it seems that he really wanted to help They, Shen Jiyao couldn't help being a little touched, hurriedly welcomed them into the house, and then went to get a tael of silver to Xu Rong, asked him to rent a horse and ride to the village to tell Mrs. Zhou to help him pick all the peppers, and he wanted To make pickled peppers, Xu Rong took the order to go, and then Shen Jiyao began to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for Qi Xuan.

Lan Qianjue hugged Xiao Doumi and came to chat with Qi Xuan in the front hall. Xiao Doumi tilted his head to look at Qi Xuan, then stretched out his little hand to him and yelled twice, wanting to hug him.

Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Doumi in disbelief. He said to Lan Qianjue, "Can I hug him?"

"He wants you to hug." Lan Qianjue said as he handed Xiao Doumi out, Qi Xuan hugged Xiao Doumi into his arms, the little thing was so happy that he grabbed Qi Xuan's clothes and couldn't stop jumping around. Lie down in Qi Xuan's arms and wait quietly.

Qi Xuan has never seen such a milk doll who is as quiet as a virgin and moves like a rabbit. He immediately liked it very much. When Lan Qianjue got up to serve the meal, he couldn't help but kissed him twice. Xiao Doumi smelled of milk, which was very good Hearing this, he liked Qi Xuan so much that he hugged him all the time, even if it was time to eat, he didn't plan to give it back to Lan Qianjue and the others, but wanted to hug him more, and Xiao Doumi sat quietly in his arms with great dignity, and After seeing Shen Jiyao as usual, he wanted to hug him.

After they had breakfast, Xiao Doumi's grandfather came, so Qi Xuan had no choice but to hand Xiao Doumi to the old man, and went to the county with Shen Jiyao and others escorting Yang Shaocheng.

Yang Shaocheng had been starving for a day and a night, and he no longer had the energy to shout and curse, so he just squatted listlessly in the corner of the carriage.

When he arrived in the county town, Yang Shaocheng refused to go in as soon as he walked outside the yamen. It seemed that he was still afraid, so Lan Qianjue had no choice but to drag him in.

The yamen servants stood in two rows one after another, armed with killing sticks, and looked very rigorously without squinting. The county magistrate sitting above was about fifty years old, with an upright look on his face. When he saw Qi Xuan, he asked his servants to give him a seat. His attitude towards him was very respectful, but without any sense of flattery, which made Shen Jiyao somewhat at ease. Such a person probably has the strongest sense of justice. If he had heard what happened to Lan Ziyue, and let Qi Xuan explain a few words, he probably wouldn't Yang Shaocheng was easily let go.

He patted the gavel and asked Shen Jiyao why he came. Shen Jiyao was not stage-frightened and told the county magistrate about the matter. Sure enough, after hearing what Shen Jiyao said about Yang Shaocheng's evil deeds, he immediately became very angry. Yang Shaocheng was also very scared , has been arguing for himself, although fifty big boards are not many, but a spanking on the butt is enough for him to lie down for a while, but the county magistrate obviously only believes in Shen Jiyao, after all, there is someone in Qi Xuan's early life, so it is impossible for him to tell lies.

At this time, Qi Xuan also interjected appropriately: "The criminal law of the [-]th Daban Tai is too light, County Magistrate Wang, you can make the decision, but don't be too light to spare such shameless people, otherwise my people in Daqing will still be punished." I don't know how much trouble I will suffer."

County magistrate Wang had an epiphany, and with a slap of the gavel, he convicted Yang Shaocheng. He beat him with a hundred boards before taking him into prison. At this time, magistrate Wang asked Shen Jiyao for his opinion, and Shen Jiyao was not polite and said "What a woman cares about most is chastity. He ruined other people's lives and cannot be easily forgiven. He has to be imprisoned for at least two years to make atonement. Of course, everything should be obeyed by the county magistrate." Shen Jiyao said to the county magistrate. I made a bow.

However, after speaking, Shen Jiyao felt a little uncomfortable. Although she asked for the loss of the child in the basket moon, she really felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Maybe it's because she is a sensible parent and understands the meaning of the child to the basket moon, or It is more or less uncomfortable. It seems that I have to take some time to visit her in the future and have a proper talk with her. It would be good if I can relieve her. On the contrary, Shen Jiyao doesn't care. Impossible to happen.

Although Shen Jiyao's spirit of vengeance has always been there, he is indeed a lot more sensible.

Over there, County Magistrate Wang hummed, and said: "Then they will be imprisoned for two years before they are released. This law of our dynasty really needs to be changed, otherwise it will only make those wicked people more rampant. More women will be killed."

Qi Xuan in the hall nodded, and before he could speak, Yang Shaocheng yelled in despair after hearing the county magistrate's verdict, struggling to get up and rush to settle the score with Shen Jiyao, but was caught by two yamen servants , picked him up and lay down on the stool like a little chicken, and started to hit his buttocks with a killing stick, and there was a burst of screams and howls in the county office. Before he arrived, Yang Shaocheng passed out from the pain.

Lan Qianjue and Shen Jiyao looked at each other, seeing that Yang Shaocheng had been punished, he didn't intend to stay any longer. Shen Jiyao thanked the magistrate and went to tell Qi Xuan that he wanted to leave, but Qi Xuan didn't want to keep them, he wanted to stay in the county government. After a while, he asked the two to leave first. Naturally, they had no objections and left the county office first.

Shen Jiyao solved a problem that he couldn't express in his heart. As soon as he left the county government office, he began to inquire about where saltpeter ice was made. Unfortunately, few people knew about saltpeter ice making. After asking many people, they didn't get any useful information. Shen Jiyao also Not giving up, I ran around many places to ask questions under the scorching sun. When I asked a hawker selling candied haws, my hard work paid off. I finally asked him about the place where saltpeter ice is made. It was in a mountain village on the outskirts of the county.

The two rushed over according to the road the peddler said. The villa was very easy to find. After leaving the city and walking along the main road for about a quarter of an hour, they saw it. The villa was built around a hill with many trees around it. This lot is very cool and looks very cool.

The two found the gate of the villa, explained their intentions, and were led into the villa by the servant.

There were ten servants in the manor, Shen Jiyao looked east and west, followed the boy up the nine-curved corridor, and after winding around, the two were brought into a hall.

The servant said respectfully: "You two wait, I will invite my master."

Shen Jiyao nodded, and watched the servant keep looking at the furnishings in the hall after he left. This hall is very elegant, and the coolness is very comfortable. There are many potted plants around, matching a room full of yellow bamboo buildings It is very beautiful, Shen Jiyao likes it very much, secretly thinking that his villa will also be built according to this standard in the future, but such a house looks cool in hot weather, but I don't know if it will be too cold to like it in winter.

Not long after, a man strolled out with his head held high.

The two looked at each other and greeted the man friendly. The man walked up to the two of them. He first looked at Lan Qianjue up and down, and then looked at Shen Jiyao carefully. Surprised, probably because of his identity, but the man was not too rude, he calmed down after being surprised, he clapped his hands and called the boy guarding the door to pour water for the two of them, Then he said: "I heard that you want to buy ice?"

"That's what I planned just now." Shen Jiyao said, "But now I've changed my mind. I want to buy you some saltpeter. I wonder if the boss can sell some to me conveniently."

"Buy saltpeter?" The man suddenly laughed when he heard the words, and said, "Young man, you have a serious tone. My huge villa depends entirely on this saltpeter. If I sell saltpeter to you, what will happen to my business?" Do."

"I paid a high price." Shen Jiyao said sincerely: "We are doing a small business in the town. The weather is too hot, so we want to buy some ice to make some cold drinks for sale. Originally, I only planned to buy ice, but when I arrived It’s only here that I realize it’s too far away from the town, and I’m worried that the ice will turn into water before it’s delivered, so I want to buy some saltpeter from you and make ice myself.”

The man was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed and said, "I am in business, not a talented person. This fish can be sold to you, but the fish can't be sold to you. If you really want to buy ice, I will sell it to you." Naturally, there is a way to help you send it to your place."

Shen Jiyao secretly sighed, it was really not easy to discuss business with a businessman, so he had to say: "Even if you can deliver it, how should I store it?"

"Dig a cellar and buy a few thick quilts so that we can store them." The man said, "If you don't want to, then I'm really sorry. I really can't sell this saltpeter to you."

Shen Jiyao had no choice but to say, "Well, what is the price of your ice?"

The man laughed and said, "I'll take you to have a look first, we'll talk about the price after seeing it, how about it."

Shen Jiyao nodded, the man made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them left the front hall together.

Walking through the Jiuqu corridor, rockery, pavilions, gardens and ponds, I came to the small hill in the villa. There was a cave entrance that was still dim with oil lamps in front of the hill. When several people got closer, Shen Jiyao felt that it was very cool inside. , it is estimated that the ice should be in this cave.

Sure enough, the man said: "The ice is inside, you two come with me."

Several people entered the cave one after the other. The cave was on a downhill route. The temperature was getting lower and lower as they went downhill. Below it was a large field dam similar to a cellar. There were more people inside, and pots and jars were placed. All over the floor, the man led the two of them to a corner full of dense earthen jars, lifted the quilt covering it, and said, "Look, this is ice. There are two kinds of it. One is sweet ice. Some sugar is added, and the other has no taste, see if you want it."

Shen Jiyao took a rough look, felt the hardness, and immediately decided to take it. The man is also a cheerful person, and he said: "Seeing that this is the first time you have come to buy ice for me, I will count you a tael of silver for a can. Responsible for delivering it to you, little brother, what do you think?"

"I want more, maybe I will come to you to get ice in the future." Shen Jiyao said: "Less less, one to two to five hundred dollars for two cans, it is feasible."

The man frowned, turned around and walked a few steps with a troubled expression on his face, Shen Jiyao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw that he was still unwilling to agree, but the next moment the man turned around and said: "Forget it, one or two or five hundred dollars and two cans Bing, the deal is done."

Shen Jiyao smiled and said, "How should I pay for the money? Do I need a deposit?"

"Of course it is necessary." The man said, "You only need to put 50 taels of silver here, and I will give you a note. As for buying ice, you can just pay the silver after the worker delivers the ice to your home. No one suffers, what do you say."

Shen Jiyao said: "It couldn't be better."

So the two quickly reached a consensus and went back to the hall to write the receipt.

After everything was done, Shen Jiyao was not in a hurry to ask for ice. Now that he had found ice, the task at this time was to make preparations for storing ice cubes, so the two rushed to the town non-stop, looking for them to monitor and discuss. Finally, he finally got him to agree to dig a cellar next to the well in the courtyard. Shen Jiyao acted vigorously, and immediately went to find the craftsmen to start digging the cellar. During the few days when he could not open the cellar, he continued to work with Lan Qianjue. Go back to the county to collect ingredients.

The ingredients are relatively easy to find. The two first bought several kinds of fruits in the county and put them in a treasure bag, and then bought all the ingredients they needed. What he wrote was surprisingly all there. The most exciting thing for Shen Jiyao is that cassava flour is really sold, and it is very common, and the price is also low. I heard that it is a food that the poor often eat. , Just waiting for the day when the cellar is dug and started to use.

After buying all the dessert ingredients, Shen Jiyao went to the iron shop to order the iron troughs and iron nets needed for barbecue. He ordered two large iron troughs, and the other one was equipped with iron sheets on it. Those who came to roast the duck, and then came to order chicken and duck, bought small fish, and bought some miscellaneous vegetables and melons that can be grilled. After seven or eight days of busy work, I finally got all the ingredients ready. , and during this period of time, Shen Jiyao also publicized all the things he was going to do. When everyone saw this new product, it was unheard of and unseen. They couldn't help but look forward to it, and they couldn't wait. Fan, I am looking forward to the new product that Shen Jiyao will make.

Shen Jiyao saw that everyone's enthusiasm was so high, and he began to think more desperately about the collocation and variety of dishes, just to give customers a satisfactory meal.

After a few days of preparing all the ingredients, Shen Jiyao was not idle, because the cellar had not been dug yet, so Shen Jiyao began to make food for everyone to try. On the first day, he first made some sugar water and barbecue, and the first thing he did was to cook Pearl milk tea and roast duck. The roast duck was put in one hour in advance. The temperature in the oven is very high. Although the roasted duck is somewhat different from the modern one, it is estimated that the taste is good, but the copied one is excellent. of.

At noon, a group of people ate Shen Jiyao's new products, and the old man was among them. After eating these new products made by Shen Jiyao, they couldn't help but praise him. Even more reluctant to drink it up, a bowl of sugar water can always be drunk for a day.

The roast duck is a delicacy that everyone is thinking about, but Shen Jiyao only roasts it once, he just wants to try his skills. In the past few days, Shen Jiyao has been making all the dishes on his menu for everyone to taste. They were all very satisfied and affirmative answers, which gave Shen Jiyao a lot of confidence and motivation.

It seemed that the success achieved this time was not small, and Shen Jiyao was satisfied. He just waited for the cellar to be dug and bought ice to store in it before opening the door for business.

Half a month passed in a flash. During this period, Shen Jiyao kneaded tapioca flour mixed with brown sugar water into pearls, boiled them and put them in a treasure bag. After finishing all the preparations, the day of opening gradually near.
