Hearing what she said, Xie Zhaodi was still a little unhappy. At the moment, she looked at her mouth and nodded helplessly after all.
Bai Wenjing took the opportunity to explain: "these people are people who often come to the store to eat. Today, even if we let them eat for free, we won't lose. Besides, I think the county master has something important to discuss with us."
With these words, Bai Wenjing looked at the county master.
The county master coughed lightly. She didn't expect that her mind was completely guessed by the woman. At the moment, she only said, "let's go up to the second floor and talk."
Bai Wenjing nodded, twisted her wide cuffs and motioned to the county master to go first: "please, sir."
Several people came to the second floor. The county master said, "since lady Xue has seen my mind, I must also know why I called you to the second floor."
Bai Wenjing said, "Sir, it doesn't hurt to say."
Master Xie glanced at Bai Nianchu beside Bai Wenjing. He seemed to have doubts but concerns, so he said in a deep voice: "this little girl..."
Bai Wenjing stretched out her hand and took Bai Nianchu's small hand and said, "this little girl was my hometown. She knew some medical skills since childhood. Today she saved my life. Adults don't have to see it. It's all my own people here."
The county master nodded: "then I'm relieved. I know that the abdominal pain of those people just now is actually poisoned, but the poison won't kill people."
Bai Wenjing nodded: "it's true. The county magistrate really looked carefully. Our shop was poisoned."
The county master looked around, but saw that the dishes in the store were complete and many small pots were still smoking, but all the people around had left.
He knew that the business was done properly and many people came to dinner. The Xues made a lot of money. In this way, it would inevitably lead to some people suffering from red eye disease. He wanted to calculate them.
Then he said, "those diners who asked you to speak on the second floor and dismissed them are to avoid unnecessary panic. It's just today's poison..."
The county master set his eyes on Bai Nianchu again.
Bai Nianchu flopped down on his knees to the county master. At the moment, he said, "today, those people ate poisonous mushrooms. Someone put the broken residue of poisonous mushrooms in the pot. Fortunately, the amount is not large. It is not someone who deliberately poisoned a single soup. It is also a coincidence that I can detoxify this poison."
Bai Nianchu said that his big eyes were full of magnanimity, which had to convince the people around him. Even Bai Wenjing believed it.
Therefore, he slightly blessed himself and said, "Sir, in my opinion, the person who poisoned today is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, but we suffer from no evidence. Instead, we might as well... Take the plan, don't you think?"
The county master was also interested for a time. You know, the restaurant shopkeeper has been entrenched in the town for a long time and has done a lot of bullying the neighbors, but everyone is afraid of his strength and means, and no one dares to testify.
Now poisoning is a good opportunity.
So master Xie asked, "tell me, what's the plan?"
There were no outsiders or eavesdroppers around. Bai Wenjing approached the county master and several others, lowered her voice and said her plan again.
After hearing this, not only the county master, but also Xue Chang'an could not help feeling that his wife was witty and intelligent.
……
Today is a day without income, but Bai Wenjing is not uncomfortable at all.
She knew that as long as the thorn was uprooted, their business in the town would be more stable.
After all, it's easy to hide an open gun from a hidden arrow. Today, the restaurant shopkeeper dared to poison the pot. Wouldn't it be a knife tomorrow?
She would never let her hurt the people around him.
It's better to strike first than wait for death.
At night, as a reward, Bai Wenjing invited Bai Nianchu to the side room arranged by her family.
In fact, Bai Wenjing has increased a lot of favor with the female owner in the original text.
She felt that the girl was not bad hearted.
Even if she had played tricks in front of her, it was because she was forced to make a living. Instead, she crossed into such a small, lonely little girl. If she could meet someone who could save herself, she would certainly try her best to stay with her and let her protect herself.
Maybe they can live in peace? It's just the former male owner... Now this is what she's most worried about.
"Madam, you really have a clever plan today."
Bai Wenjing said with a faint smile: "since they poisoned our guests with wild mushrooms, it would make things worse. What if those who ate poisonous mushrooms really died all night?"
Xue Changan took Bai Wenjing's words and said, "that's 10 lives. Even if the emperor is here today, he has to thoroughly investigate the case. Moreover, the waiter is still locked in the county yamen. No one knows what kind of torture the waiter will suffer in the Yamen and when he will confess the behind the scenes."
"That's true." speaking of this, Bai Wenjing couldn't help sighing: "money can make ghosts grind. Those people who came to our store for dinner really made a lot of money. Although they did have stomachache, they each earned five Liang silver in the blink of an eye. Tut tut... It's going to be saved for a long time."
Bai Wenjing really loves her. Her silver is like running water.
You know, her hot pot restaurant has a good business, but she earns about ten liang of silver a day. Now these ten people want her turnover for five days. How can she not be distressed?
Xue Chang'an stretched out his hand to hold Bai Wenjing's waist and said, "don't be angry, madam. You can't save money from disaster. The restaurant owner did his own evil and can't live. When he entered the prison, let's take it for him. Don't mention the restaurant manager. The place he chose is very good."
Bai Wenjing glanced at Xue Chang'an and said angrily, "I think you've long thought about other people's restaurants. All right, go to sleep."
As soon as I woke up the next day, there was a lot of noise in the street.
Bai Wenjing didn't go to the hot pot building today, but stood on the second floor of her home and looked away.
When the window opened, I saw that the downstairs of her hot pot was full of people. The straw mat rolled ten people and put them on the downstairs of her hot pot. There was a sound of crying. There were not many people in the street on weekdays. At this time, it was crowded.
Bai Nianchu also got up early. At the moment, she took a stool and lay down beside her. She looked not far away and asked, "Aunt Xue, do you think this idea really works?"
"Of course it works. I've asked someone to tell me that Xiao Liu in the Yamen is being tortured to extort a confession."
Bai Nianchu heard this and whispered, "that..."
"Let's wait and see. There will always be people who can't hold their breath. Then we'll see what kind of good play the clown will put on."
