Chapter 198 Eating with Aunt
The meal was tasteless for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ding. Wu Qian and Wu Xiu had long been accustomed to Xue Qing's presence. Although grandpa was also very nice, they liked their aunt better.
"Mom, why doesn't Aunt come to eat?" Wu Xiu asked
Mrs. Ding put down her chopsticks and said, "Aunt is eating in the west wing."
She didn't want to lie to the child. Wu Xiu didn't understand why her aunt didn't eat with them, but she wanted to go and have dinner with her aunt.
He picked up his bowl and jumped off the chair, saying to Liu and Ding: "I want to go eat with my aunt."
When Wu Qian saw his sister go to eat with his aunt, he immediately picked up the bowl and was about to jump down. At this time, Wu Tong immediately frowned: "Qian'er!"
Seeing that his grandfather was unhappy, Wu Qian put down the bowl and said to Wu Tong: "Grandpa, I'll take my sister over there." Then he jumped off the chair and ran away.
Xue Qing watched Wu Xiu running over with a bowl in hand, followed by Wu Qian. Seeing the two little kids, Xue Qing was very happy. He picked Wu Xiu up and put her on a chair.
Jiang Yi hugged Wu Qian and sat on the chair. Fortunately, Jiang Yi knew that Xue Qing had a big appetite recently, so he prepared a lot of food, enough for four people.
The brothers Wu Yu and Wu Peng looked at Wu Tong's gloomy face and said nothing.
These days the two brothers go up the mountain to chop firewood every day, and they have to settle things at home before leaving.
The day before leaving, the two brothers went to Anyang County Government Office, only to find out that the two thieves had actually escaped from prison. Wu Peng was a sixth-rank official after all, and he was furious.
He was so intimidating without even getting angry that the envoy was almost scared to his knees begging for mercy. Wu Peng was equally angry and kicked the envoy.
Then he grabbed his collar and said, "Tell me, did you let the criminal go on purpose?"
As the official in charge of the prison, Dianshi has been peaceful all these years and had never seen such a look.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, we really don't know how they escaped from prison. When the jailer came to serve the meal that day, he found that they were no longer inside."
Wu Yu: "Where's the magistrate?"
The envoy said quickly: "The county magistrate has reported this matter to the prefect. The county magistrate should go to the countryside to check whether firewood has been prepared for the winter."
The two brothers came out of the county government office and headed straight for Shilibao.
They went back and found Xue Qing: "Qing'er, the two prisoners escaped from prison."
Xue Qing: "What, say it again?"
Then he looked at Wu Peng: "Brother"
Wu Peng nodded: "Qing'er, he did escape from prison, and the case has been reported to the prefect."
Xue Qing lowered his head and thought, even if the county jail could not be compared with that of his time, jailbreaking could not be so easy.
If the person behind this is not caught, the Wu family will be in danger at any time. The Wu brothers are here this time, but what about next time?
"What do you two think?"
Wu Yu was silent for a moment. He had a guess, but he couldn't say it. He just said, "These two thieves look ordinary. They must have someone behind the scenes to help them escape from prison."
The implication is that the two thieves did not come to the Wu family to steal with the intention of killing, but may have planned it.
This is very scary. If planning fails once, there will definitely be a second time. If it happens again, the consequences will be disastrous.
But the two of them cannot disobey military orders, and they must set off for Beijing tomorrow.
Seeing the heavy expressions on their faces, he said, "Don't worry, Jiang Yi and I are here, and the family will be fine."
After a pause, he said, "Don't tell mother and sister-in-law about this."
Wu Peng bowed to Xue Qing, then turned and walked out.
It also leaves room for the two to talk.
The Wu brothers rushed back to the capital before dawn.
Shilibao at the foot of the mountain seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.
When the first snow fell, Youran Ju launched a new dish - hot pot.
And there is a new seasoning that makes people feel like dying after eating it, but also makes people unable to stop eating it.
At the same time, I don’t know when, there are people selling seasoning packets on the market. As long as they sell seasoning packets, they will teach you how to use the seasoning packets to make delicious braised food.
Guo Zhang from Wenxiangju came to the Wu family in a rage.
When Wu Tong saw this scene, he was so scared that his legs went weak.
Guo Zhangui looked at him with disdain, what a coward!
The heavy snow had stopped. After Xue Qing and Jiang Yi cleared the snow in the yard, they made a snowman with the two children. The snowman's arms were made of two branches. She cut a piece of red cloth and sewed it on the other side of the branches. When she saw the snowman holding the red flag, her nose felt sore.
That was my long-lost home!
"Manager Guo, what's the important matter?" Xue Qing looked at him indifferently.
"Wu Qing, you actually sold all the seasoning packets. You have violated the treaty and you have to compensate me for my losses," Shopkeeper Guo said very confidently.
Jiang Yihu is next to Xue Qing.
At this time, Liu asked Ding to look after the child, and she came out and stood behind Xue Qing.
Xue Qing snorted coldly: "What kind of contract do I have with you? The recipe of this seasoning has been learned by someone else. Could it be that someone from your Wen Xiang Ju leaked it?"
Liu also continued: "Yes, there are so many people in your restaurant, who knows who will get jealous and leak the secret recipe of the seasoning?"
Of course, Manager Guo would not admit it, even if it was really because of his own people.
"How could our own business be leaked out? This must be done by you," Manager Guo was very unreasonable.
Xue Qing snorted coldly: "You said we leaked it, show us the evidence"
Shopkeeper Guo was choked. How could he have any evidence? But did this matter require evidence?
"There is no need for evidence for this matter. Only you guys can make this seasoning packet. If not you guys, who else could it be?" Shopkeeper Guo seemed to be without a brain.
Jiang Yi snorted coldly: "Manager Guo is so arrogant. He doesn't know why and thinks that you made the law."
Xue Qing continued, "Don't you need evidence? I heard that you put more than a hundred taels of silver from Wenxiangju into your own pocket every year."
Manager Guo's face turned red with anger: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"
Xue Qing: "I have no evidence. I'm just guessing. You are the one who keeps all the accounts of Wen Xiang Ju. The boss won't check the accounts with the waiters below. You can do whatever you want in the accounts. Doesn't that mean you can put as much as you want in your own pocket?"
Shopkeeper Guo's face was pale at this moment, and the people following him were thugs sent by the boss.
This news will reach the boss's ears before tonight.
I have to quickly think of how to cover up this matter in front of my boss. Wu Qing is really hateful.
If I don't get rid of her, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart.
"Wu Qing, you've ruined Wenxiangju to its current state. I won't let you go!"
Manager Guo was furious and started talking without thinking.
Xue Qing was just talking nonsense just now, but judging from his performance, it is very likely that I guessed that he was corrupt.
"You've come to my house, I know, so why are you trying to keep me from letting you go? Come and tell me."
