Thanks to Xiao Yi, Bored to Come to Shu, Cola Milk Instant Noodles and other brothers for their rewards, and thanks to brothers Xiao Yi for their monthly ticket support.
"Mr. Chen, this is the understanding agreement you signed just now. Although they are wrong, they can't bear your anger. I think this matter can be forgotten!"
The young policeman raised the agreement in his hand and said, it seemed that he had expected this situation to happen, so he took precautions before it happened.
Although blackmailing people is wrong, their lives are still difficult. If their family conditions are good, who would want to do such a thing?
"Uh!" Han Kongque and others who were cheering were all stunned. This policeman is really smart.
"Okay! Little brother, this is my business card. If you have anything to do in the future, call me. We brothers still have some ways to help you. Damn it, today is so unlucky. Let's go." After Chen Jiayi finished speaking, he directly
He took off his wet clothes and walked into his car.
"It's hard to walk on rainy days. There is a small restaurant not far from here. The food is very good. Why don't you go have a good meal and have a night's rest before leaving." The policeman did not expect that Chen Jiayi was so talkative and immediately reciprocated his kindness.
"Thank you, brother." In the end, there was such an unexpected result. If I had known, they would have called the police.
"Ci'ao, we don't have a professional driver here. If we did, it would be such a big deal." Long Lin said rudely.
Indeed, if there is a professional driver, the driver knows that there is a recorder in the car, so he can still be blackmailed by the old man?
"You gain wisdom every time you suffer, but I had a really fulfilling day today. I really didn't realize that Brother Chen is still a good young man who is brave enough to do what is right." Zhu Feiyu said with a smile.
Chen Jiayi said: "Tch, if I had known this would happen, even if I were killed, I wouldn't get out of the car to express my kindness. What did you have for lunch? Now that it's over, I really feel hungry."
It’s hard to be a good person! No wonder no one wants to be a good person in this world now! Chen Jiayi was still very emotional about what happened today.
Zhu Feiyu said: "We are eating a big meal brought by Xiao Han. You don't know, there are chicken, fish and pig's trotters. It's quite rich."
Han Kongque looked at Chen Jiayi's confused eyes and smiled: "It's just some bagged food. I prepared it just in case, but I didn't expect to use it on the first day. Let's have a good meal tonight, and we'll have it tomorrow."
Nothing happens anymore.”
There is a small restaurant on the roadside not far away. It's called Li's Beef Pencil Stewed Grass Chicken. Although the name is a bit confusing, this should be the restaurant the police mentioned.
"This time I came out with a grown man. You won't get angry after eating this, right?" Zhu Feiyu said with a smile.
Long Lin said: "It's not too late to find someone. Just call your mistress and ask her to catch up."
"If you don't object, I will call someone and ask them to wait for us in Xihu City." Zhu Feiyu said without shame.
Originally, I didn’t take a woman with me because it was inconvenient, but it’s really no fun not taking a woman with me on this kind of self-driving trip.
No one had the nerve to mention it originally, but now that Zhu Feiyu brought it up, naturally no one objected.
The hotel is very small, with only one small room. Since this is a rural area, there are not many homes on the roadside, so the owners of the hotel built many pavilions around their small room, and placed a number of pavilions in each pavilion.
A table for entertaining guests.
Han Kongque and the others were divided into three tables, one for ten people each. A large pot of hot chicken stew was soon served. Since it had been raining all day today, the restaurant did not sell many dishes.
The restaurant is family-style. The cooks are father and son, one named Li, one Lao Li and the other Xiao Li. The two women in the family serve as waitresses. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very diligent and keep the entire small restaurant very clean.
"Boys, how do you feel?" Since the restaurant's business is very good every day, they stew a dozen chickens in advance every day so that the guests can eat them when they come.
Unexpectedly, it rained all day today, and if the prepared chicken is not cooked and eaten tomorrow, it will not taste good. The reason why their chicken is so delicious is that the ingredients they use are also very important.
"It's delicious." Han Peacock and the others said almost in unison.
Not many people eat chicken in the south. Of course, this is for the north first. The famous stewed chicken made by southerners is even rarer. After all, the south has more water and eats more ducks.
"Old man, it's a pity that your skills are here. If you go to a big city, you will definitely become popular." Chen Jiayi said.
Lao Li said: "There is no other way. At this age, I don't want to go outside anymore."
"Your craft is really good, is it passed down from your ancestors?" Han Peacock asked curiously.
Lao Li smiled and said: "It's something passed down from our ancestors. I learned it from my master when I was young."
"Well? Is there such a secret recipe as taught by the master? Don't the original people pay more attention to the inheritance of the secret recipe?" Long Lin asked curiously.
It turns out that people cherish brooms to a perverted degree. Many people’s secret recipes are passed down from generation to generation. When Lao Li was young, he probably learned things as an apprentice, right?
How miserable were the apprentices at that time?
If you go to work for others for a few years, it doesn't count as work, and you are beaten and scolded. Even so, you may not be able to learn anything.
The Long Lin family is a restaurant owner, and they know the importance of a good dish to a restaurant.
Just like this small restaurant, it relies entirely on this dish to support itself, and running such a small restaurant is enough for the family to live a good life. This is the importance of having a skill.
At this time, Xiao Li spoke: "My father used to work in a collective restaurant. He learned it from his master at that time. At that time, the unique skills of craftsmen were not valuable."
Lao Li said: "I remember that my master was a chef in a hotel back then. He was well-known for his excellent dishes, especially the beef whip stewed with grass chicken.
At that time, my master was old and wanted to find an apprentice to pass on his unique skills.
Unexpectedly, at an internal meeting in the hotel, when he proposed to recruit apprentices, surprisingly no one was willing to learn."
"Uh!" Han Peacock and the others were all surprised. No one is willing to do such a good thing yet?
Now if Lao Li is willing to teach, at least half of the ten people here are willing to learn. No matter whether they will use this method to make a living in the future, few people are willing to let go of such an inheritance.
"When my master said he was going to take on apprentices, the chefs in the restaurant started talking about everything. Many people said, what's the use of learning this? They all said the same salary anyway.
And the old masters who have unique skills in their hands do more work. And the salary is just that, what is the use of learning this?
Will I be tied to a chicken and a bullwhip for the rest of my life?
It is because of this that almost no one is willing to learn.
I was young at the time and was originally an apprentice, so I just followed the master without any fuss.
Unexpectedly, now it’s not just me who has to rely on this craft for food. Even my son and grandson have to rely on this craft for food.
This is something we never thought of, and now some old guys are gathering together, and they are even envious of my good luck."
Han Kongque and others were all speechless. Such a unique craft was passed down in this way.
In the era of planned economy, people worked more and did less, and worked better and worse. Because of this, how many crafts were lost because they were unwilling to work more?
Han Peacock picked up a piece of bullwhip. The bullwhip was only as thick as a little finger. It looked like a slender chicken neck. It didn't have any peculiar smell when eating it, but had a sweet aroma.
Southerners like to eat sweet food, so it is normal to have this kind of taste, but this beef whip stewed grass chicken has a rich spicy taste, which is more suitable for the taste of southerners.
Because the man is wet, eating spicy food has become a habit of southerners.
This kind of beef whip stewed grass chicken has a sweet, spicy, and moderate salty taste. It not only suits the taste of southerners, but also northerners will like it. Those who are willing to eat spicy food will like it even more.
It can be said that such a dish has such a wide audience that it can be promoted anywhere in the country.
Since the Li Family Restaurant only had one special dish and the rest were small stir-fries, Han Kongque and his group of thirty people ate ten chickens in one night, almost all the chickens prepared in the restaurant that night.
Even if we ate so much, it only cost more than 3,000 yuan. They brought their own wine, and other stir-fry dishes were not worth much. Only the stewed chicken cost 300 yuan a piece.
After having enough wine and food, Chen Jiayi said: "Uncle, how far is it from Xihu City?"
Lao Li said: "It's not far, but you have entered a side road. If you are not familiar with the road, you may not be able to go around it. I think you might as well rest here for a night. If the rain stops tomorrow, the road will be easier to walk."
Already."
"Then do you have a bigger hotel here?" Long Lin said.
Lao Li said: "We do have a family here. If you don't plan to leave, you can go to Li Garden to stay for one night. If the weather is good tomorrow, it would be good to spend a day in Li Garden tomorrow."
"Oh! Is there anything interesting in Li Garden?" Han Peacock asked curiously.
Lao Li seemed to be lost in memories: "It used to be really good, but now there's nothing good to see, but for you outsiders, it's still okay to go there for a day."
"Dad, just say it! It's already getting late." Xiao Li didn't want to hear Lao Li talk about ancient times, so he interrupted him directly.
Old Li smiled and said: "You younger generation have never seen it before. It turns out that Li Garden is a very famous garden in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it was destroyed by war in modern times. But even now, many people come here to play. You
Do you know what they are doing here?"
"Since they were destroyed by the war, they shouldn't be here to see the scenery. Could it be that they are here to hunt for treasures?" Chen Jiayi thought about the words on Liu Mingyu's lips and said with a smile in his heart.
Old Li said: "You are really right. Most of the people who come to Li Garden come here to hunt for treasures. This Li Garden turned out to be a big family of our generation. I don't know when it was inherited.
I heard from my grandma that when the last young lady of the Li family came in, she really looked very beautiful!"
"You know Shili Hongzhuang, right? Compared to you now, when young people get married and start a fleet, in your words, they are weak." Mr. Li said.
The so-called "Ten Miles of Red Dowry" refers to the scene of marrying off a girl in the old days. People often use "Thousands of acres of fertile land, Ten Miles of Red Dowry" to describe the richness of the dowry.
"Dad, please stop bragging. If we really traveled ten miles away, how many things would there be? Can Li Yuansheng do it?" Xiao Li said.
Lao Li glared and said, "What do you know? Even the place where we open the restaurant now originally belonged to Li Garden. Look at the highway to the south and the hill in the distance. This place all belongs to Li Garden."
Not to mention Shili Hongzhuang, even Baili Hongzhuang can be tolerated by the Li family. He is a thousand-year-old family here! It is a pity that it was destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion."
"Is there really a treasure there? Is it the Li family's treasure? How do you know that the Li family's treasure is hidden in Li Garden?" At this time, Liu Mingyu became more energetic and immediately began to ask about the treasure.
"Of course there is a treasure, and it is in Li Garden." Old Li said firmly.
Xiao Li said at this time: "I don't believe this legend. The Li family is as rich as the country. They say that they can only get in and out. The treasures are piled up like mountains. But after so many years, Li Yuan has been dug up three feet from the ground. You see?
Who has found the Li family's treasure?" Xiao Li said.
Old Li said: "What do you young people know? Can a millennium-old family like the Li family be comparable to ordinary small households? It turns out that I have heard a legend that there is a huge maze under Li Garden. At the end of the maze
It is the treasure of the Li family.
Before liberation, this was always a legend, but when I grew up. After the Li family was destroyed, we entered Li Garden and found out that the legend was true. The current maze of Li Garden has been developed into a tourist area.
Yes, what did you say?"
"That has nothing to do with Shili Hongzhuang." Xiao Li said unconvinced.
"Why doesn't it matter? The big bed that belonged to the eldest daughter of the Li family is still in Li Yuan! It's not broken even now. The bed is not much smaller than the house. I really don't know how it was put in back then."
Li sighed.
After listening to the conversation between their father and son, both Han Kongque and Chen Jiayi were intrigued.
Chen Jiayi said: "How do you know that the Li family's wealth is still hidden in Li Garden?"
Old Li said: "Although the Li family is rich, they don't have a good reputation in the local area. One of the main reasons is that they are rich and unkind and don't give up a dime. His family's manor is very solid. If it is daytime, you will see it on the mountain over there.
There are also some ancient city walls, which are the outer walls of Li Garden.
The Li family's manor is built more solidly than West Lake City. It can also be said that there is a lot of wealth here. It has been passed down for thousands of years. Generations of the Li family have made money from doing business. They can only be transported into Li Garden, but no one has ever seen it.
Shipped out.
Regardless of whether it was when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom invaded Li Garden or when Japan occupied it, even after the founding of the country in modern times, after ten years of destruction, Li Garden and the Li family were destroyed, but no one found much from it, whether it was long hair or Japanese.
None of them took advantage of the Li family.
I heard that the Li family was attacked for the first time. It was Li Xiucheng, the loyal king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, Li Yuan was besieged for several months and finally ran out of ammunition and food before Li Yuan was conquered.
Since Li Yuan was breached this time, the Li family members who were in Li Yuan at that time have disappeared. Although the Li family's family members outside have come back, they have not been able to support the family again.
Since the loyal king Li Xiucheng once garrisoned Li Yuan, it was later occupied by the Qing army. Later, the Kuomintang, the Japanese army, and even the People's Liberation Army all once garrisoned Li Yuan.
However, since Li Yuan was destroyed, no one has found large amounts of property from Li Yuan, which caused a great sensation at that time.
You must know that Li Yuan's accumulation over thousands of years is not trivial. Even if their family fortune has been ruined, their financial resources on the surface will never disappear.
But since Li Xiucheng conquered Li Garden, no one has ever seen the Li family's wealth. Not even a tea bowl has been found. Do you think it's strange?
Therefore, many people speculate that the Li family's treasure house is still hidden here. If anyone can find the Li family's treasure house, they will become rich overnight and be as rich as the enemy."
"Is this true?" Everyone was excited by what the old man said.
Of course, Han Peacock is no exception. He is very clear about the bad nature of the Chinese people. If they have good things, they have to dig a hole to hide them. At that time, whether they were wealthy families or ordinary people, they all had this problem.
If Li Yuan's things were really not taken away during the war, they were really hidden here, but they have not been discovered after so many years.
"Just listen to it. Over the years, I have seen a lot of people come here to hunt for treasures. Many people have stayed here for several months but have gained nothing, so don't take it seriously." Xiao Li saw the eager eyes of Han Peacock and the others.
, immediately poured cold water on him.
"Hey, why are so many people looking for it? It's because of the Shili Hongzhuang I just mentioned. We don't know anything else about the Li family, but the Shili Hongzhuang is so eye-catching. So many things were brought into Li Garden, but no one
I have never seen it carried out.
Those are things that a woman can use for a lifetime. From pots and pans to clothes and jewelry, how many things can you say that a woman can use for a lifetime?
Besides, the houses built by Li Yuan are all made of earth and stone. Such houses have not been damaged until now, so there are no signs of being set on fire. Since there are no signs of damage, why are these things gone?" The old man of the Li family is indeed very worried.
Believe in the legend of the treasure.
Han Peacock smiled at this time and said: "Could it be that the loyal king Li Xiucheng took it away?"
"This is impossible. I heard that after Li Xiucheng captured Li Garden, not only did he not transport anything out of the Li family, but he also transported a lot of things into Li Garden.
I heard that after Li Xiucheng captured Suzhou and Hangzhou, all the captured property was transported to Li Yuan, hoping to buy guns and cannon from foreigners after occupying the capital.
But we all know that the Magic City was not occupied by Li Xiucheng, and when Liu Xiucheng retreated, he did not transport anything away in a light vehicle.
From then on, Li Xiucheng was a ruthless soldier, and until he was executed by Zeng Guofan, he never came to Li Garden again, let alone had anyone transport anything out of Li Garden.
I heard that after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army stationed in Liyuan for a year, but they obviously didn't gain anything." The old man of the Li family said a little proudly. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature,
