Chapter 62 Will my daughter-in-law dislike him?
"The county magistrate is here!"
With a loud shout, Magistrate Li got out of the car.
The director of the pavilion quickly adjusted his hat, took the lead and knelt down.
"Wang Fu, the pavilion chief of Dayang Town, has met the county magistrate."
A group of squires quickly followed and saluted.
Magistrate Li directly passed over the crowd, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Sanlang, and stopped Su Yue, "Sanlang, Mrs. Su, you and your wife don't need to be polite."
Xiao Sanlang and Su Yue straightened up.
Magistrate Li just said to everyone: "Everyone, please get up."
The director of the pavilion took a step forward, "Your Excellency, you are here today..."
County Magistrate Li pointed at the villagers who were leading their children and about to kowtow, "Today the villagers went to the county government office to pick up their children. I heard that they are coming to thank Mrs. Su."
"This county is here to join in the fun today."
He clapped his hands and said, "Here comes someone."
Two government officials came forward, holding a plaque covered with red cloth in their hands.
County Magistrate Li took a step forward and pulled off the plaque with his own hands. The four large golden characters on it: Punish evil and promote good, radiating dazzling light in the sun.
"Ms. Su and Xiao Sanlang helped the county solve the case. Mrs. Su almost died trying to save the children. I will give you a plaque personally written by the county."
"Another reward of fifty taels of silver will be given to Mrs. Su and Xiao Sanlang. I hope we will have more people like them in Gaoping County who are eager for justice and justice."
After County Magistrate Li finished speaking, another government servant came over holding a small box.
The box was opened, and inside was fifty taels of silver neatly stacked.
"Sanlang, Mrs. Su, please accept it."
"Thank you, sir."
Xiao Sanlang was going to pick up the plaque when he saw his wife holding the small box in one hand and taking the plaque with the other hand.
"It's a little heavy, just let me pick it up." Su Yue smiled.
Xiao Sanlang: "..."
There was a round of applause and applause from all around.
The director of the pavilion patted the horse at the right time, "The county magistrate has managed well, and our Gaoping County will definitely get better and better in the future."
Rich country squires: "The county magistrate's clear distinction between rewards and punishments is really admirable."
Magistrate Li smiled and glanced at the grateful expressions of the villagers with their children, feeling that the worries that had accumulated in his heart for many days were swept away.
The arrival of County Magistrate Li brought Xiangmanyuan's business to another climax.
I heard that the county magistrate was here, and many people came to watch the fun.
Magistrate Li left after lunch, and the pavilion chief and a group of squires diligently sent him out.
The queue of people to eat continues.
Master Zhou hadn't left yet. The old man was happy and had drunk a little too much. He was pulling Xiao Sanlang sadly: "Back then, you promised me that you would go to the border to collect your father's corpse and then take the Tongsheng test after you came back."
"In a blink of an eye, five years have passed."
"Sanlang, you are obviously a material for reading, but why is God so indifferent to you? You are not allowed to write anymore."
Xiao Sanlang's eyes were dark and his emotions could not be seen.
Master Zhou sniffed and suddenly said about Su Yuelai, "I think your wife is a good and smart person. You should live a good life with her."
"Sanlang, you said your wife has become a celebrity in the county. Will she dislike you?"
Master Zhou touched Xiao Sanlang's hand sadly, then looked at his legs, and whispered: "It really can't be done. We are men. It's not shameful to suffer a little injustice. Just bear with it."
Xiao Sanlang: "..."
But...will Su Yue dislike him for being a cripple?
Does he really want to remain a cripple?
...
The diners continued until the end of the day and then dispersed, and all the ingredients previously prepared were eaten.
Lao Feng was so excited that he walked down the aisle.
As soon as the door closed, everyone gathered in the lobby, staring at the box on the table.
Su Li proudly turned over the box.
"Wow!"
Copper plates and broken silver were scattered all over the table.
He is the best at counting money, and the more he counts, the brighter his eyes become.
After a while, Su Li looked at everyone's wide eyes and smiled mysteriously, "Guess how much money we collected this morning?"
Lao Feng was so anxious that he just slapped the table and said, "Stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly."
Su Li was lying on the table, trying to whet their appetites, "Guess what... Oops, sister, why did you kick me again?"
Su Yue folded her arms and said, "Say."
Su Li immediately raised three fingers, "It's thirty taels, thirty taels!"
Ergou was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, "How...how many?"
My mother, only thirty taels in one morning?
Just now I thought the fifty taels the county magistrate rewarded Mrs. Su was a huge sum of money, but now why do I suddenly feel that the magistrate is a bit stingy?
Li Hai took a breath, "Excluding costs, how much profit did you make?"
Qin Mo had already calculated the result in his mind, "A net profit of twenty taels."
He looked at Su Yue with bright eyes, "Sister Yue, we make a net profit of twenty taels."
Su Yue looked calm, as if she had expected it, "Yeah."
Old Feng jumped up excitedly and grabbed Qin Mo, "Sir, if we prepare more materials tomorrow, can we make more money?"
Qin Mo looked at Su Yue.
Su Yue shook her head, "No, everyone is trying to be fresh on the first day, and the passenger flow will drop tomorrow."
"From now on, prepare a certain amount of food every day and won't sell it after you finish it."
Lao Feng was puzzled, "Why? What if the guests don't come after they can't eat?"
Su Li raised his hand excitedly, "I understand this truth. Guests will miss you more if they can't eat. The more they miss it, the more they want to come."
Because that's how he is, the less he can eat, the more he wants to eat.
Su Yue gave him a thumbs up, "That's the reason. This is called hunger marketing."
This guy does have some talent for business.
She took a tael of silver from the table and gave it to Li Hai, "Take it back to the brothers who came to help today. As for you, let Qin Mo pay you for your work in the future."
Li Hai, Ergou and Su Li were very happy when they heard this.
Woohoo... After working for so many days, I finally heard the word "wage". I didn't dare to mention it before, and I didn't dare to ask.
Su Yue got up and walked out.
"Sister, what are you doing? My brother-in-law will be back soon, aren't you waiting for him?" Su Li asked.
Su Yue kept walking, "Go and settle some personal grudges."
...
Fumanlou has no business today and closed early.
The waiter drove the carriage, and shopkeeper Wu prepared to go to the county.
"I have made inquiries clearly. The county magistrate has been busy rescuing children and arresting people these past two days. Huang San has not been further interrogated. Let's... call!"
Halfway through his words, the waiter glanced at the figure standing in front of him and was so frightened that he almost bit off his tongue.
Shopkeeper Wu urged angrily, "Why don't you leave?"
There was no sound from outside. The car curtain was opened, and a hand reached in and pulled him out.
There was a sudden spin and he was thrown to the ground.
Shopkeeper Wu raised his eyes and met Su Yue's cold face. He was so frightened that he trembled. He pointed at the waiter and said, "It has nothing to do with me. It was him who tied up your son."
The waiter couldn't believe it, "Shopkeeper Wu! You..."
Su Yue sneered coldly, "If you touch my son, none of you can run away."
After a while, the two people who were beaten into pig heads knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Spare our lives, we will never dare to do it again!"
Su Yue looked cold and slowly raised the wooden stick in his hand.
