Chapter 117： Nightmare

Chapter 117 Terror in the Night

Shopkeeper Luo looked at Niu Niu with a smile and praised: "Niu Niu is really a smart little girl."

This is considered to agree with what Niuniu said.

Everyone at the table felt it was quite strange after hearing this.

After all, whoever does business does business for customers, doesn’t it all do it to make money for themselves?

Liu Xiaoru said: "Then your mid-range dishes shouldn't be so expensive. They should be sold at the same price as braised dishes."

Shopkeeper Luo said: "I just need to earn enough money to maintain the restaurant, but other people in the restaurant have to eat."

Liu Xiaoru immediately stopped talking. Although the medium-sized dishes in Desheng Restaurant were expensive, they were actually no more expensive than the signature dishes in Chunfeng Restaurant next door.

But considering the environment here, such a price is actually not excessive, and the actual profit is probably not as high as that of Chunfeng Tower.

A businessman can give up the pursuit of high profits. This business philosophy alone is far beyond the reach of others.

While he was talking, the waiter brought another tray over. On the tray were several small cups, and inside the cups was a bowl of clear-colored pork rib soup.

"Shopkeeper Liu, give it a try, I was busy with these things the past few days." Shopkeeper Luo said.

Liu Xiaoru picked up the soup cup and took a sip.

To be honest, the smell is okay, you can smell the fragrance of grass and trees, but it's not that special.

However, after Gu Mingda took a sip, he took the initiative to praise: "The gelatin is thick and the taste is sweet. It is the best dendrobium."

He then explained to everyone that the really extraordinary thing in this bowl of soup was not the pork ribs, but the dendrobium that went with the soup.

"Brother Gu has a bright eye and a bright heart. He can tell when he tastes it. I admire you." Shopkeeper Luo was very happy. After all, there is nothing more satisfying than meeting someone who knows the treasure that he has worked so hard to find.

Mrs. Gu licked her lower lips. She originally wanted to pick out the grass-like thing in the soup bowl and throw it away. When she heard that they said it was a precious medicinal material, she immediately threw it into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it quickly. Go down.

"There are many good and bad dendrobiums on the market, so I asked an old man from a drugstore to accompany me and went to Huocheng in person. I followed the old man to learn how to identify dendrobium. After careful selection, I chose this shop. Dendrobium inside.”

Listening to shopkeeper Luo's explanation, Gu Mingda praised: "I do it myself and with such care, it is beyond the reach of others."

Nowadays, there are only two dishes in the entire restaurant that are rated as top-notch dishes, one is Gujia braised food, and the other is this dendrobium.

The only difference is that Gu's braised food is because of its delicious taste, while this dendrobium soup is because of its good medicinal ingredients.

The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host. When the Gu family left, Niu Niu asked Zhang Yunniang in a low voice: "Is the food in the restaurant so delicious? Even the rice is sweeter than elsewhere."

Zhang Yunniang said: "Because the rice in this restaurant was carefully selected by your uncle from far, far away."

Niuniu nodded, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Mingda carrying a bag of rice.

Zhang Yunniang glanced at her husband in surprise.

Gu Mingda explained: "I saw that Niuniu liked it, so I bought a bag with Brother Luo."

When Niu Niu heard this, she immediately looked at Gu Mingda with bright eyes, as if she was looking at a great hero.

When the group of people arrived at the door of the restaurant, the restaurant waiter gave the two small clay pots in his hands to Niu Niu and Gu Zhao.

There is a small golden fish in each clay pot, and the waiter gave it to the children because they liked it.

Zhang Yunniang quickly refused.

Shopkeeper Luo smiled and explained: "As long as the restaurant staff sees that the young customers who come in like it, they will give it to you, so you don't have to feel burdened."

After getting Zhang Yunniang's approval, the two children happily took the pot.

It was already late at night when we left the restaurant. The night was not peaceful, but there was nothing scary for the Gu family.

The group of people must first send Liu Xiaoru back to the shop, and then return to their home.

But before reaching Yuanbao Street, Niu Niu suddenly said: "Someone is crying."

The family suddenly stopped.

When the surroundings became quiet, the sound became particularly obvious. Various sounds were mixed together, including whimpering, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the sound of things being dragged on the ground.

The Gu family was still trying to figure out which direction the sound was coming from, so Niu Niu stretched out her white fingers and pointed in the direction: "Over there!"

Gu Yun asked: "Little sister, are you sure? Why does it sound like the other side to me?"

Gu Mingda was very sure: "Niuniu can't make mistakes."

Gu Yun immediately stopped questioning and rushed towards the direction pointed by Niu Niu: "I'll go take a look."

Gu Mingda couldn't stop him at all, so he could only follow quickly.

By the moonlight, the uncle and nephew saw a man running forward in the alley, dragging a large sack with something flopping around in the sack.

"What are you doing!" Gu Yun shouted.

He was about to become a temporary agent of the Yamen, and he felt that he had a sense of responsibility for the security of the county. He felt that he would become the light that illuminated the darkness in the next second.

"Where did this fool come from! I even took care of you!"

The man's face was full of irritation, but now he was naturally very annoyed when he saw Gu Yun, a half-grown man. He rushed over in three steps and took out something from his arms.

Gu Mingda's footsteps happened to see a flash of light on the thing in the other person's hand.

"He has a knife!" Gu Mingda reminded loudly.

Then without any hesitation, he slammed the bag of rice in his hand towards the man.

The man was hit all over his head and face, and he staggered twice. Just as he was about to stand still, a slender black shadow suddenly hit him hard.

"You still want to use a knife! You big villain, you dare to cause trouble in my territory!" Gu Yun pushed the man to the ground and hammered him.

The most fearful person in a fight is someone who is not a master.

But it's a stupid young man, especially a young man like Gu Yun, who can hit people lightly or hard. It's not uncommon to hit someone on the head and kill him in one breath.

Gu Mingda quickly stopped him: "Okay, okay, tie this man up first. Don't beat him. If he is beaten to death later, you will still have to go to jail!"

Only then did Gu Yun stop.

The man who was beaten by him is now lying on the ground, his face covered with blood and flesh, and he looks like he is taking in more air than out.

"Second uncle, he...he's not really going to die, is he?" Gu Yun later became frightened.

Gu Mingda sighed and said, "Let's see what's in his sack first. If there's a misunderstanding, he's not a bad person. I don't know how it's going to end."

Gu Yun became even more scared after hearing this.

Gu Mingda had actually guessed that this person was probably not a serious businessman. After all, serious people would not use knives when meeting people, but he deliberately frightened Gu Yun so that this eldest nephew would know a little bit about the importance.

When the sack was opened, the living things still flapping inside were not poultry or livestock.

But a child.

Of the two children, one could still move, but the other's face was covered in blood, which looked very eye-catching.

"Is this child dead?" Gu Yun asked Gu Mingda in a low voice.

Gu Mingda didn't have time to speak.

The child who could still jump spoke up: "Help...help..."

He looked down at the unknown young boy and continued: "Save my brother..."
