Liu Ruyi spent half a year confirming one thing, but whatever Li Yi likes to eat, the taste will definitely not be bad.
So, after a while, besides the two handsome young men, there was another beautiful young woman sitting at the street noodle stall eating noodles.
The woman stood in the booth, rubbing her hands together awkwardly. The receptionists at the stall are always rude people, even if they are a little noble, they would not eat noodles here. The scene in front of her made her a little overwhelmed. Come.
The skinny little girl had a faint smile on her face, revealing two cute canine teeth. If she wasn't too thin and had no flesh on her face, she would be a complete little beauty.
"Miss Boss, have another bowl." Li Yi put down the bowl and even drank the soup, still feeling unsatisfied.
Even he himself wonders why he has a special liking for the noodles of this noodle stall, and there is a feeling of familiarity, as if he had eaten there a long time ago, and more than once.
"Why!"
It is rare that a distinguished guest likes to eat his own noodles, the woman responded with a bigger smile on her face, and hurriedly prepared.
Li Xuan cast a contemptuous look at Li Yi's behavior.
I have accepted the royal etiquette since I was a child, and I only eat seventy percent of my meal, even if it is the meal I like, I will not eat a second bowl.
Wiping his mouth, he pushed the empty bowl aside, and said, "Madam Boss, cook one more bowl, more noodles."
It was obvious just now that Li Yi's bowl had at least 20% more noodles than his own. How can you lose to him in this kind of thing, dignified son
When eating the second bowl of noodles, Li Yi's speed slowed down. After all, although the bowl is a little smaller, the amount is quite a lot.
Looking up at the woman, he asked: "The sauce that the proprietress just put in should be a secret recipe handed down in the family, right?"
Li Yi has eaten a lot of noodles in his two lifetimes, and he has done a lot of research on this. The noodles can only be regarded as average, but the soup is really delicious, not inferior to the well-known time-honored brands that he ate in his previous life.
In the past, when those handsome nobles passed by here, they never looked directly at her, and the woman had never met such a kind nobleman, she nodded with a smile, and said, "Your guess is right, this The sauce is handed down from the ancestors and has been for decades.”
"It seems to be a time-honored brand." Li Yi smiled and said, "The taste of this noodle is inexplicably familiar, and I always feel as if I have eaten it somewhere."
"Isn't the nobleman from the capital?" The woman looked at him and asked.
"Stop calling 'noble man' 'noble man', I am indeed not from the capital." Li Yi shook his head and said.
"That's expensive...Young master must have remembered wrongly. Our ancestors were all in the capital, and this secret recipe has never been shown to anyone. It is impossible for you to eat it in other places." The tension in the woman's heart has almost disappeared, and she talked about the secret recipe. , and couldn't help but say a few more words.
Li Yi didn't continue this question anymore, maybe he had really eaten similar noodles before, but it was just in another world.
After all, there was already a bowl at the bottom just now. This time, I only ate half of the noodles, but drank the soup. Li Xuan touched his swollen stomach, and picked up the bowl to drink the soup in a similar manner. When the official saw it, at least he would reprimand him for losing his royal demeanor.
The woman started to clean up the dishes, and the little girl wiped the tables and chairs vigorously with a rag. The Lantern Festival had just passed, and the weather was still very cold, but there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
boom!
A muffled sound suddenly came from the side, and a big foot appeared on the table that the little girl had just wiped, followed by a strong smell of foot odor.
"Miss He, it's time to pay the dues."
Li Yi covered his nose and looked at the rough man, as if he was watching a gas bomb.
Ms. Liu Er was the quickest to react, she pinched her nose and dodged far away. The big man's feet were placed on the table next to Li Xuan, less than a foot away from him.
Li Yi clearly saw his face turn from red to white to blue, then turned his head suddenly, covered his mouth and retched.
Li Yi looked at his disgusting tears that were about to flow down, and secretly sighed, the face just now was for nothing.
Seeing the big man, the little girl turned pale and quickly ran behind the woman.
The woman's face was pale, she looked at the big man, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Tiger, didn't you just hand in this morning, why..."
"Stop fucking nonsense!" The big man waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is my territory. I can collect it whenever I want, and as many times as I want. If your noodle stall is still open If you want to drive here, give me money!"
Li Yi looked at this scene in surprise, the capital of a country, at the foot of the emperor, the law and order is so bad
Are those who collect protection fees so blatant
If this was in Qing'an Fucheng, which rogue dared to be so arrogant, he would have been beaten to half his life by Liu.
After discovering the dark phenomenon of collecting protection fees in the city, under Li Yi's instruction, Liu Yishou thoroughly rectified the rogues in the city, and invited them one by one to the county government to drink tea for a few days. There was no protection fee anymore, but I often saw a group of burly men picking up rubbish on the street, and the sanitation in the prefecture immediately improved a lot. I heard that the magistrate even praised County Magistrate Liu for this. , listed him as a model that other counties should learn from...
The woman said with a bitter face: "Master Tiger, there is really no more. You took all the money away in the morning. We did business with a few customers in the morning. We really have no money..."
"No money, let me see!" The big man named Tiger 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 copper coins from inside. , casually threw the wooden box on the ground, and said, "Damn it, I am so unlucky to have a poor man like you!"
Liu Ruyi frowned, and was about to walk over, when she saw a street patroller approaching not far away, she stopped again.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the guard approaching from a distance, the man shook his hand and said, "Brother Song, it's okay, you're busy with your work, I'll treat you to a drink tonight!"
"Pay attention to proportion!"
The guard dropped a word, waved his hand, turned around and left.
Li Yi was dumbfounded, is this fucking really the capital
Can this collusion between officials and bandits be more obvious
No wonder the woman's face was not happy when she saw the guard approaching, but turned even paler. After a long time, the guard was actually in the same group as the one who collected the protection fee
The man took the copper coin, spat secretly, and was about to leave.
However, of course someone would not let him run so fast.
Li Xuan's eyes seemed to be breathing fire, and he kicked the man flying away.
Li Yi knew a long time ago that even though he looks gentle and thin on the surface, he is actually not bad at skills. When he was forced to go to Ning Wangfu, he had no power to resist at all.
"Who the hell..."
That man was also very powerful, he got up from the ground in one gulu, cursed angrily, and before turning his head, he flew out again.
Li Xuan pinched his nose, vomited heavily just now, and didn't want to get close to that guy anymore, 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, courteous and polite, and no fault can be found. As soon as he waved his hand, two guards walked over and ravaged the man like a human sandbag...
Seeing that the noble young man who was still refined just now suddenly became fierce and vicious, the overlord of this generation "Master Tiger" could only hug his head on the ground and beg for mercy. The woman opened her mouth wide and couldn't regain her senses for a while.
The little girl tightly grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, she stared blankly at the man rolling on the ground, and clenched her small fists.
