Chapter 269 Protecting the calf and making a clear decision
Sun Shanhexu pointed at Yan Funing's head: "You're a kid who pleases people." Let him eat with an open stomach and eat happily. Liu Song arrived at the door of the private room and waved to Yan Funing: "Daughter, come here." Seeing his sad face, Yan Funing asked: "What's wrong, uncle?" "Someone came to make trouble, and the person said, 'Do you know who I am?' To be able to say such things, he must have some identity. My daughter helped me think of ways to know the other person's identity, and what should I say." Usually when someone makes trouble, he, the shopkeeper, can always solve it. Hearing that the other party had some identity today, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to look for Yan Funing. "I gonna go see." Yan Funing nodded to Sun Shanhe, told the senior clerk to serve good people, and followed Liu Song to the lobby. As soon as she entered the lobby, Yan Funing stopped.
Liu Song lowered his voice: "What's wrong?" Yan Funing said: "The one wearing the water-patterned robe is the second master of the Yan family, and the one wearing the dark-flowered robe with a cross collar is Fu Zhengqing." Liu Song was shocked. In front of him, Mr. Yan, the richest man in Ling County, looked shrewd. The county magistrate Fu Zhengqing is elegant, but there is hypocrisy in his elegance. But how did his restaurant make the county magistrate angry?
Could it be that he refused to cooperate? He quickly realized that the bosses behind the large restaurant in the county town were actually the two people in front of him. The second old master of the Fu Mansion was only a shareholder on the surface, but in fact it was the county magistrate who was doing the restaurant business with Mr. Yan. Thinking that they had nothing to do with Yan Funing, she said softly: "Daughter, go hide inside." Yan Funing didn't intend to hide. At this time, Mr. Feng put the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall behind the counter and called out: "Shopkeeper, little shopkeeper, someone is looking for trouble. They actually said that the price of the signature dishes designed by the little shopkeeper is exaggerated, and they want to destroy our sign." Following the sound, Fu Zhengqing and Yan Erye both saw Yan Funing. Both of them understood that the reason for Liu Ji's booming business was Yan Funing. Fu Zhengqing glanced at Mr. Yan and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "She is so business-minded, why doesn't she help the Yan family?" Mr. Yan thought that all aspects of his business were on the decline. Although he did not envy the profits of the small restaurant, Liu Ji's recent doubling rate was astonishing. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he immediately shouted: "Rebellious girl!" A scolding made all the guests and waiters present look at Yan Funing. Liu Song stood in front of Yan Fuling: "What are you looking at?" The guys also reacted and greeted the guests to continue eating and drinking. The guests watched the excitement and couldn't help but ask: "Rebellious daughter? Could it be that these two are father and daughter?" "Looking at their age, they really might be father and daughter."
Fu Zhengqing smiled: "Funing, when your father is here, why don't you come to see him? You help outsiders do business, why don't you want to help the family?" Two questions added fuel to the fire. Mr. Yan's face turned livid and he shouted, "Why don't you come over and kneel down?" Yan Funing said quietly: "Er Master Yan, County Magistrate Fu, please understand that from the moment I was driven out of the house on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month last year, I have nothing to do with the Yan family." "Shopkeeper Liu Ji is not an outsider, he is my uncle. On the contrary, Grandpa Yan Er, the county magistrate, is an outsider to me." Although Liu Song was afraid of officials, Yan Funing was protecting his restaurant at the moment, and said that he was not an outsider, but an uncle... It made him excited. "The Yan family is the richest man in Ling County, and Magistrate Fu is an official of his parents in Ling County. Could it be that he came to my restaurant today because I refused to cooperate?" He asked directly. Although he was worried that he would have nothing after today, he was still protecting the calf. He became attached to Yan Funing from the time she came to the restaurant to sell oyster mushrooms. The restaurant is what it is today, thanks to her. He would never allow others to bully a girl he treated as his own daughter. Although he has limited abilities and limited financial resources, he just doesn't allow others to bully her. Fu Zhengqing said: "She has a father. Even if she wants to recognize you as her uncle, do she have to get her father's consent first? Liu Song, you are guilty of a big crime." "Also, Liu Ji Restaurant sells dishes for five taels of silver. I want to take a look at the menu to see what precious ingredients are in it." He spread his hands and said, "Take it out, otherwise I will have to take you to the county. The Yamen asked questions." The implication is that if Liu Song refuses to hand over the menu recipe, he will be locked up. Yan Funing didn't expect Fu Zhengqing to be so blatant when he became the county magistrate. "What crime did my uncle commit? He needs to be taken to the county government for questioning. Could it be that Magistrate Fu is avenging his private revenge?" Yan Funing suppressed her blush, "I have no father. I am an orphan without a father and mother. Uncle Liu Song gave me He cares like a father. Today, I won’t allow you to take him away!” Liu Song, who lived in the countryside and had nothing to do with her, gave her a lot of care. Second Master Yan did not expect that he would be outmatched by the shopkeeper of the small restaurant. He looked extremely ugly and said: "Come here, take the second lady back to the house and send shopkeeper Liu Ji to jail!" Before Fu Zhengqing could say that, Mr. Yan first spoke and wanted to send him to prison. The diners present shook their heads. Thinking that his career would depend on the money of the Yan family, Fu Zhengqing shouted: "Come here!" The Fu family's thugs all entered. Caiyu and Li Xinheng got into position, and the guys quickly protected Liu Song and Yan Fu. The cooks and cooks in the back kitchen came out with spatulas. The diners did not expect that the two sides were going to get serious, and were about to run away to avoid disaster—— A powerful voice came from the corridor leading to the private room: "I have never known that Mr. Fu has such great official authority." The one who can claim to be my own is naturally Mr. Futai! The diners hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Common people pay their respects to Mr. Futai!" The guys, the cooks and the maids followed suit and saluted.
Second Master Yan has never met Sun Shanhe, but Fu Zhengqing has met him many times. When he was still the county magistrate, he wanted to be promoted, but was unable to do so because of Sun Shanhe's obstruction. He gave a lot of gold and silver to the Lu family in the capital, and then he successfully became the county magistrate. At this moment, Sun Shanhe came out. Fu Zhengqing had a bad expression, but he had to bow: "I have met Mr. Sun!" Sun Shanhe said loudly: "I have eaten the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at Liuji Restaurant. It is delicious and can be called a delicacy! At five taels of silver a portion, I think the price is a bit low." After that, the people who were ordered to salute stood up and ignored Fu Zhengqing. Fu Zhengqing kept bending down and bowing, feeling angry but had to do so. Sun Shanhe laughed loudly and patted Liu Song on the shoulder: "You are obviously very scared, and you still protect the little girl, which is very good." He raised his hand and tapped Yan Funing's forehead: "You, a little girl, are obviously very fragile. Faced with such a situation, you can face danger without fear. Well done. You have a bright future!" "Recipes of signature dishes cannot be leaked out at will. This is the basis for the survival of the restaurant." Immediately, his face darkened and his voice became deeper. "If there are still people who use money and power to exert pressure and want to obtain the recipes in the future, this government will definitely step in and investigate! " Liu Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and knelt down to thank him: "Master Xie Futai has made a clear decision!" (End of this chapter)
