Chapter 294

"Does the shopkeeper know?"

Xu Qing thinks that the shopkeeper is an understanding person. However, the more understanding a person is, the harder it is to get words out of his mouth.

"It's not that I don't say it, I dare not say it. Now, if you don't give others a living, they won't give you a living. If you don't want to get into trouble, don't mind your own business." The shopkeeper sincerely advised.

Xu Qing and Li Changting looked at each other, Li Changting shook his head: "forget it, forget it."

Having said that, they are here to meddle in their own business, no matter what.

When the shopkeeper saw that Xu Qing and Li Changting did not ask any more questions, he was relieved and led them upstairs.

"This is the best room in the shop. Are you satisfied with it?"

Xu Qing swept a circle and said, "it doesn't matter whether it's good or not, as long as it's clean."

"Clean, absolutely clean." Shopkeeper should say, "need to prepare food and hot water for you?"

Xu Qing: "no, just bring up two buckets of hot water."

"Good." The shopkeeper answered, took the door and went out.

Soon the waiter brought up two buckets of hot water. Li Changting took the hot water and told the waiter not to disturb him. He locked the doors and windows and entered the space with Xu Qing.

In the space, duanmuxiang has already dealt with the ingredients, and the fire is on fire. Xu Qing just needs to stir fry directly.

Xu Qing sees two processed chickens in a wooden basin. Duanmu Xiang means that he wants to fry them, but Xu Qing is tired of the fried chicken.

She called Duanmu ring to knead noodles for her. Duanmu ring had made bread for her before, so she knew what to knead.

Xu Qing boned the two chickens, cut them into large pieces, beat them vertically and horizontally with the back of a knife, and pickled them for half an hour.

Put the dough into the oven to bake. After baking, take it out and cut it into small pieces. Then continue to put it back to bake. When the bread is completely dry, you can break it up and set it aside.

Marinated chicken with a layer of starch, and then wrapped in egg liquid, and finally wrapped in a layer of homemade bread bran, put it into the oil pan to fry slowly.

The fried chicken chops sprinkled with cumin chili powder, cut into pieces, you can eat.

"It smells good. Is it ready to eat?" Duanmu rang and asked eagerly.

Xu Qing handed the plate to him: "be careful to iron it. Let it cool before eating."

But duanmuxiang couldn't wait any longer. He took a piece of chicken chops, perfunctorily blew it and bit it.

"Oh, delicious!" Duanmu Xiang squinted contentedly. His appearance was crisp, and his inside was fresh, tender and juicy. It was delicious.

Xu Qing fried the rest of the chicken chops. Li Changting came over with a little dragonfly in his arms. Xu Shi smelled an attractive smell. The little dragonfly was staring at Duanmu ring with big eyes of grapes. As Duanmu ring ate, he unconsciously opened his mouth.

Li Changting empties his hand to eat. At this time, the little dragonfly's eyes shift from Duanmu ring to his father in front of him, and his mouth makes a tender babbling sound.

"Want to eat?" Li Changting put the chopsticks to the mouth of the little dragonfly. The little Dragonfly immediately opened its mouth, waiting for feeding.

However, the chopsticks only stopped at the little guy's mouth and were taken away. Li Changting asked with a smile, "is it delicious?"

Little Dragonfly:???

What just happened?

"Stop teasing her and eat it." Xu Qing hugged the child in Li Changting's arms, "I'll feed her first."

Xu Qing went to the house to feed her. The little guy was eating so much that he didn't know whether he was really hungry or just greedy.

After dinner, Xu Qing looked at the two men at home: "who are you going to explore the situation?"

Duanmu ring: "I'll go. I'll eat after dinner."

Li Changting: "let's go together."

Xu Qing let them out and agreed to meet them half an hour later.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Qing went to take a bath. The little dragonfly was lying on the bed by herself, biting her fist and playing, without crying or making noise.

After taking a bath for only ten minutes, Xu Qing took the little dragonfly to the fence to figure out what to eat tomorrow.

Chickens, ducks and rabbits are a little tired of eating. What Xu Qing wants most these days is fish. Unfortunately, the fish in the space has been eaten up.

Here, Li Changting came to a street on the east side of the town based on the previous information from the shop assistant. It is generally called the street. It is a relatively large street, and the smaller one is called the laneway.

Two people in the street a left and a right, jump to the house, door to door looking for the past.

At this time, there are not many people in the house with lights on. Li Changting soon found a suspicious one.

The three rooms were well lit, and the crying of children came from one of them. It was this burst of crying that attracted Li Changting's attention.

He waved to Duanmu on the opposite side. Duanmu went over the roof and landed on a house next to Li Changting.

When they lifted the roof tiles and looked down, they saw many young children in the room.

Zhao, who was rubbing the car during the day, was holding a bamboo stick and threatening several crying children: "what are you crying for? It's so noisy! Cry to death again, believe it or notBecause of their fear, the children's cry became weaker. One by one, they huddled in the corner, pitiful and helpless.

Woman Zhao spat and said to a man who was drinking tea leisurely at the table, "will that tooth really arrive tomorrow morning? When these children cry like this, my neighbors must have heard them. How can I be a man in the future? "

The man said calmly: "what are you afraid of? There are people in my yamen, and no one will catch you. Moreover, these children are not abducted by us, but sold to us by their families."

Mrs. Zhao also thought that she did not dare to do such a thing as abducting and trafficking in human beings. If she was caught beheading, she could not escape. But since it was the family of other people's children who sold them to her, she was just acting as a middleman to sell these unwanted children.

The man then said, "those wealthy families fled when the drought hit, and when they came back, they didn't even have a servant. So, I tell you, there are many people selling these children. You can rest assured that there is absolutely money to earn. I can support my family by this. What are you afraid of here?"

Woman Zhao said with a smile, "Oh, I'm not inexperienced. I really want to be a servant girl for those rich families."

The man glanced at the woman and said, "of course, what can I cheat you for? Besides, who can afford so many mouths except those rich families now?"

Zhao woman nodded: "also, that's good. Anyway, it's also a good place. I don't do bad things."

The man snorted and laughed: "what a bad thing is this? You are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. These children's parents don't want them. Sooner or later, they will starve to death, but we have saved their lives."

Woman Zhao was more and more reassured by the man, and her guilty and uneasy face gradually became calm and proud.
