Liu Ruyi spent half a year to prove one thing, whatever Li Yi likes to eat, the taste will not be bad.
So, a moment later, in addition to the two distinguished noble men, there was a beautiful young woman sitting at a street noodle stall eating noodles.
The woman stood in the stall, rubbing her hands awkwardly. The stalls were always filled with rough people, and even the slightly more noble people would not eat noodles here. The scene before her was too much for her to handle.
Come.
The skinny little girl had a slight smile on her face, revealing two cute tiger teeth. If she were not too thin and had no flesh on her face, she would still be a complete beauty.
"Mrs. Boss, let's have another bowl." Li Yi put down the bowl and drank all the soup, but still felt that he was still unsatisfied.
Even he himself was wondering why he had a special liking for the noodles at this noodle stall, and he felt a familiar feeling, as if he had eaten there a long time ago, and more than once.
"Why!"
It was rare for a distinguished guest to like to eat home-made noodles. The woman responded with a smile on her face and hurriedly prepared it.
Regarding Li Yi's behavior, Li Xuan cast a look of disdain.
I have been accustomed to the royal etiquette since I was a child. I only eat seven-half full when I eat. No matter how much I like the meal, I will not eat a second bowl.
Wiping her mouth, she pushed the empty bowl aside and said, "Madam boss, cook one more bowl with more noodles."
It was obvious just now that Li Yi had at least 20% more noodles in his bowl than he did. How could the noble prince lose to him in such a matter?
When he was eating his second bowl of noodles, Li Yi slowed down. After all, although the bowl was a little smaller, it was still quite generous.
He looked up at the woman and asked, "The sauce the boss lady put in just now should be a family secret recipe, right?"
Li Yi has eaten a lot of noodles in his life, and has done a lot of research on this. This noodle can only be regarded as average, but the soup is really delicious, not inferior to the nationally famous time-honored restaurants he had eaten in his previous life.
In the past, those graceful noble men would never look at her when they passed by here. The woman had never met such a kind noble man. She nodded with a smile and said, "The noble man guessed it right. This
The sauce has been passed down from ancestors for decades."
"It seems to be a time-honored restaurant." Li Yi smiled and said, "The taste of this noodle is inexplicably familiar. It always feels like I have eaten it somewhere."
"Isn't your noble family from the capital?" the woman looked at him and asked.
"Don't call me "noble" or "noble", I am indeed not from the capital." Li Yi shook his head and said.
"That's expensive...Young Master must have remembered it wrong. Our ancestors are all in the capital, and this secret recipe has never been shown to anyone. You can't have it anywhere else." The nervousness in the woman's heart has almost disappeared. When she talked about the secret recipe,
I couldn't help but say a few more words about the matter.
Li Yi stopped continuing the question. Maybe he had eaten similar noodles before, but in another world.
After all, there was already a bowl at the bottom of the bowl just now. This time, I only ate half of the noodles, but drank the soup completely. Li Xuan touched his bulging belly, and picked up the bowl to drink the soup in the same manner. If this scene was interpreted by the censor,
When the official saw it, he would scold him for losing his royal manners.
The woman began to clear away the dishes, and the little girl wiped the tables and chairs diligently with a rag. The Lantern Festival had just passed, and the weather was still very cold, but a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out on her forehead.
boom!
A muffled sound suddenly came from the side, and a big foot immediately appeared on the table that the little girl had just wiped, followed by a strong smell of foot odor.
"Ms. He family, it's time to pay your dues."
Li Yi covered his nose and looked at the rugged man as if he was looking at a poison gas bomb.
Miss Liu Er had the quickest reaction. She had already pinched her nose and moved away from him. The big man's feet were placed on the table next to Li Xuan, only one foot away from him.
Li Yi clearly saw his face turn from red to white and then blue, then he turned his head suddenly, covered his mouth and retched.
Li Yi looked at the disgusting look on the verge of tears and sighed secretly. The noodles he just ate were in vain.
When she saw the big man, the little girl's face turned pale and she quickly ran behind the woman.
The woman's face was pale, she looked at the big man, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hu, didn't you just pay me this morning? Why..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The big man waved his hand impatiently and said: "This is my territory. I can close it whenever I want, as many times as I want. If your noodle stall still has
If you want to keep driving here, just give me the money!"
Li Yi looked at this scene in surprise. In the capital of a country, under the emperor's feet, the public security is so bad?
Are all those who collect protection fees so blatant?
If this were the case in Qing'an City, any scoundrel who dared to be so arrogant would have been beaten to half a life by Liu Yishou.
After discovering the dark phenomenon of collecting protection fees in the city, under Li Yi's instructions, Liu Yishou carried out a thorough rectification of the rogue idlers in the city, and invited them one by one to the county government office to drink tea for a few days.
There was no need to collect protection fees anymore. Instead, we often saw a group of burly men picking up garbage on the street. The sanitation in the city immediately improved a lot. I heard that the prefect even specially praised Magistrate Liu for this.
, listing him as a model that other counties should learn from...
The woman said with a bitter look on her face: "Master Hu, it's really gone. You took all the money away this morning. We only did business with a few customers in the morning. We really have no money..."
"No money, let me see!" The big man named Mr. Hu kicked over the table in front of him, jumped inside, picked up an old wooden box on the ground, opened it, and picked out a few coppers from it.
, threw the wooden box on the ground casually, and said: "Damn it, I am unlucky to have a poor guy like you in the stall!"
Liu Ruyi frowned and was about to walk over. When she saw a patrolman approaching not far away, she stopped again.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the officer approaching from a distance, the man shook his hand and said, "Brother Song, it's okay. You are busy with your business. I will treat you to a drink tonight!"
"Be careful!"
The officer said nothing, waved his hand, turned around and left.
Li Yi was stunned. Is this really the capital?
Could this collusion between officials and gangsters be more obvious?
No wonder that when the woman saw the police officer approaching, not only did her face not look happy, but she became even paler. After working for a long time, the official officer was actually the same group as the one who collected the protection money?
The man took the copper coins, spat secretly, and was about to leave.
However, of course someone would not let him run away so quickly.
Li Xuan's eyes were like spitting fire, and he kicked the man away with one kick.
Li Yi knew a long time ago that despite his gentle and thin appearance, he was actually quite skilled. When he was forced to go to Prince Ning's Mansion, he had no power to resist.
"Who the hell..."
That man was quite powerful. He got up from the ground in one go, cursed angrily, and flew out again before looking back.
Li Xuan pinched his nose. He had vomited just now and didn't want to get close to that guy anymore. He waved his hand and retreated to Li Yi's side.
Many times Li Yi wonders if he has a dual personality. When he is serious, he can be personable and polite, so that no one can find any fault with him.
After waving his hands, two guards walked over and ravaged the man like a human sandbag...
Seeing that the elegant young master just now turned into a ferocious look, the overlord of this generation, "Master Tiger", could only hold his head on the ground and beg for mercy. The woman opened her mouth wide and could not recover for a while.
The little girl tightly grabbed the hem of her mother's clothes, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes. She stared blankly at the man rolling on the ground, clenching her little fists.
[ps: Thanks to "Xiao Xuanyi" for the 10,000 reward! 】
