Chapter 214 Tai Chi Milk Jelly
Zhang Captou immediately set off for the yamen, intending to arrange an arrest, but as soon as he arrived at the yamen, the two thieves had already been tied up and thrown at the yamen, with a pear blossom stuck in their backs.
"Boss, these two escaped thieves were caught by 'Yizhili'."
Zhang Captou had heard about the strange thief Yi Zhili for a long time. He asked his subordinates to take the thief back to prison and said: "You guys will prepare with me and go to Beidu to capture Wei Yong."
The next day, the news came out that the thief had been caught. Mo Xia heard that the thief had dressed as a heroine and attacked the coachman who was transporting goods to Mao Xi, so she went to the Tang Shui Shop to inquire about it.
"Ah Shao, I heard that the driver who delivered the goods to you was attacked by gangsters. I have nothing to do recently and can help you deliver the fruits to the shop."
"That's great, Miss Mo Xia, I was worried about this."
Mao Xi planned to spend more time developing some new products at the candy shop. She brought a bowl of freshly made milk jelly to greet Mo Xia.
"Mo Xia, I just steamed the custard, you want to try it too."
Mo Xia saw that the milk jelly was taken out of the ice bucket, but she wanted to have a hot drink, so she asked: "Ah, do you have a hot drink? I want to drink some stomach-warming sugar water today."
"Would you like sesame paste? I ground some sesame powder a few days ago. I can soak it with this custard and it won't get cold."
After Mao Xi finished speaking, he returned to the kitchen and used a small bamboo knife to cut half of the bowl full of custard into an arc shape, like a Tai Chi diagram. Then he filled the other half with the soaked hot black sesame paste. It looked like It looks more like a Tai Chi diagram.
Finally, use black sesame paste and white custard to decorate the bowl with small dots to complete a complete black and white Tai Chi diagram.
The white one is custard, and the black one is sesame paste. The custard has been shaped by steaming, and when poured together with the hot sesame paste, the custard is not that cold.
Mo Xia saw that this sugar water was quite creative, and couldn't help but praise: "Ah Shu, you have practiced Qigong recently, and even made the sugar water into a Tai Chi diagram."
She first made a spoonful of liquid sesame paste, which was very hot and warm to her stomach, and put it into her mouth together with the milk jelly. This taste was better than the sesame glutinous rice cake she had eaten back home.
You can taste that the sesame seeds have been ground into very fine powder, which is why it is so silky in the mouth.
At this time, the old medical officer from the Medical Bureau also came to the sugar water shop. He wanted to buy a bowl of white fungus soup to drink, but he was quite curious when he saw the Tai Chi milk jelly that Mo Xia was eating.
"Shop Manager Ma Xi, please give me a piece of this Tai Chi custard. I think its shape is really interesting. You can even make it look like a Tai Chi diagram when you eat it."
When Mao Xi saw the medical officer from the Medical Bureau, he remembered that there were still medicinal materials that he had not dug out.
She first went to the kitchen to make a bowl of Tai Chi milk jelly and presented it to the medical officer. After tasting it, the medical officer suggested to Shu Xi that they could also sell some medicinal soup, herbal tea, or health-preserving sugar water in summer.
"Medical officer, I have already sold sour plum soup, snow pear soup, honeysuckle dew and white fungus soup. Do you have any other good suggestions? Recently, some ladies and ladies in the city should often go to the medical bureau to grab health medicine kits. I am here It’s definitely not as cost-effective as the soup drink from your Huimin Medical Bureau.”
"That's not necessarily true, Shopkeeper Shu Xi. Recently, the ladies in the city are keen on drinking peach gum soup, and all the ones in the medical bureau have been sold out. Didn't you go dig up the medicinal materials? If you can sell some peach gum to me, I will definitely I’ll give you a good price, and your shop can also sell some peach gum syrup.”
When the medical officer said it, Mao Xi felt it was reasonable. But although peach blossoms are everywhere in Kaitang, most of the peach gum on the peach trees is taken away privately by the people. Where can I collect a large amount of peach gum?
Seeing that Mian Xi was in trouble, Mo Xia also listened. She walked to Mian Xi and suggested: "Ah Miao, when I go to buy fruits these days, I will keep an eye on it for you. There are peach trees in the village and Baiyuan Village.”
"Then I'll leave it to you. If there are peach trees, there must be peach gum. Just ask the common people to buy it."
In the afternoon, she took the time to go to the countryside and dug out some fresh Polygonatum japonica. She kept some for her family to stew, and the rest was sold to the Medical Bureau.
The income from the Tang Shui Shop and Fried Chicken Shop has been pretty good in the past two months, so she needs to save up the money to buy Liuxiang Snack Shop earlier.
.
But he said that Wei Yong fled all the way north to Beisu and hid, living in seclusion until half a month later, when the limelight was over, he dared to go out.
But he persisted in his evil intentions, working for people during the day, and dressing up as a woman at night, using his embroidery skills to get close to and deceive women.
Another half month later, when he wanted to repeat his old trick, unexpectedly, the woman's father happened to return home.
Seeing that the woman's neck was being pinched tightly by Wei Yong, the old man was eager to save her, so he swung a stone and beat Wei Yong to death.
Zhang Captou, who was investigating in Beidu, heard that there was also a gangster in Beisu who disguised himself as a woman and deceived women. He was also beaten to death, so he immediately set off to investigate.
Only then was it determined that the person who died was Wei Yong. Since this man had committed evil many times and Wei Yong was committing the crime when the old man hit him, the old man was found not guilty.
Mr. Zhang also returned to Kaitang to close the case and informed the victims who had already reported the case.
After Miss Ye found out, she ran to Liuxiang Snacks and told Shu Xi the news: "Miss Shu, have you heard? This Weiyong was actually beaten to death in the end."
"Really? Where was he beaten to death?" Lou Laner came over curiously.
"In Beisu, he repeated his old tricks. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the woman's family during the attack... I thought he would never be caught again after he escaped!"
Mao Xi felt relieved after hearing this, thinking that Miss Ye and the Taoyuan girl almost jumped into the river and died because of this incident.
Miss Ye beamed with joy: "It's such a relief. I thought that if he was caught and brought to justice, he would be slapped with dozens of slaps and imprisoned for another three years. Sure enough, he will die if he does many unjust things. I want to tell this news too." Aying."
After saying that, she left to find her cousin Yuying.
"Aye, what are your plans in the future? Are you still going to the embroidery workshop?" Yuying was happy for Miss Ye when she saw that she was relieved.
"A Ying, I want to be like you and set up a stall to sell some small handicrafts. I won't be able to go to the embroidery workshop."
"Okay, just think about it. Don't do stupid things again in the future."
Mu Zhiyuan also heard the news from Zhang Captou. He always felt that Kaitang County was becoming more and more uneasy recently.
"Ah Shu, please close the candy shop earlier from now on. I always feel that things are a bit uneasy recently."
"Brother Mu, are you overthinking? Hasn't Wei Yong already committed suicide? Are you worried about the Heilan Society that has not yet been found?"
“Anyway, it’s better to be careful in everything.”
