Chapter 263 Kidnapped

Because the two parties were in-laws, they had somewhat of a competitive mentality that they were not convinced by each other. Not only did no one have the nerve to point fingers at Xia Daohua in front of their opponents, but they actually reached a somewhat strange dynamic balance.

Even if there were some blind people, with Brother Erlang and his eldest aunt in front, they couldn't find Xia Daohua to come forward.

In addition to occasionally taking over some orders from the first and second stalls of the pickle workshop, Xia Daohua spends most of her time in the "Daohuaxiang" shop doing statistics on her customers' consumption trends.

Or just quietly change into men's clothes, take Linghua with you, and try all kinds of delicacies on the streets.

I lived a very carefree life as a child.

With the influx of refugees, Magistrate Yang handled the situation well, and the Wang family provided full assistance, the entire Jixiang County seemed to be quite prosperous.

Seeing that the city walls are getting taller and stronger, the moats are getting deeper and deeper, and even the criss-crossing water diversion ditches and sewer networks are much deeper and wider than before.

In order to allow the refugees to continue to have work, Magistrate Yang not only replaced all the locals serving as laborers, but also began to lead the people to build roads.

He first repaired the official road, widened the official road between counties, rebuilt the roadbed, spread loess on it, and mixed fine sand and gravel with glutinous rice flour, and repaired it like a city wall.

pavement.

Xia Daohua watched it twice and saw them working hard to build the road bit by bit like ants moving. She felt a little unbearable and could not help but want to pull out the cement.

She carefully recalled the cement formula and found that it didn't work.

Without supporting industrial products, the cement of later generations would not be produced.

However, you can give it a try to make cement using local methods.

However, if there is cement, the speed of the project can be accelerated. Where will Magistrate Yang find so many jobs and resettle so many refugees?

Xia Daohua thought about it and decided that she could buy a kiln entrance and test it secretly, but there was no need to rush to release the finished product.

Cement has many uses. If it is really invented, it will definitely not have to worry about sales.

As for County Magistrate Yang, it is better to let him do what he wants and not to do any harm with good intentions.

With these things in mind, Xia Daohua's attention was not focused on the surrounding environment, while Linghua was only thinking about eating. Neither of them noticed that they had walked into a quiet street without knowing it.

To be precise, this is a very wide alley with several small restaurants and stalls along the roadside.

But this place should be very busy on weekdays, but it was quiet at this time.

When Xia Daohua and Linghua came back to their senses, they only felt that the surroundings were a little too quiet, as if business was not going well. Other than that, they did not notice anything wrong.

The two of them walked to a small stall and sat on a bench waiting for customers. After sitting down, they realized that their legs and feet were already a little sore from walking unconsciously for too long.

Linghua wrinkled her face pitifully and rubbed her belly: "I'm so hungry!"

Xia Daohua explained: "Let's serve something first!"

"Okay!"

The middle-aged woman at the stall smiled heartily, and she quickly picked up a strand of noodles from the chopping board next to her with chopsticks, and put it into the pot of boiling water.

After ordering cold water twice, I took out the noodles and put them into a bowl. Then I used a big spoon to take out a big spoonful of mutton soup with pieces of meat from another pot next to it.

Sprinkle a handful of tender coriander on top of the noodles.

Two bowls of noodles were quickly placed in front of Xia Daohua and Linghua, and they started eating with chopsticks.

Linghua’s little face suddenly lit up: “It’s delicious! It’s so delicious!”

Xia Daohua tasted it and felt that Linghua was right.

The mutton soup at this noodle stall is extremely delicious and fragrant. I don't know if it's because of the quality of the ingredients or the addition of special seasonings, but it doesn't have any odor at all.

Such authentic noodles only cost three pennies a bowl.

However, the noodle bowl is only as big as Xia Daohua’s fist, so an average adult would never be full after eating one bowl of noodles.

This small bowl is simply too small compared to the large bowls that can fit a person's face in most noodle stalls in this era!

This kind of small and exquisite bowl is only suitable for display in high-end restaurants with luxurious decoration.

If you leave it on a roadside stall, the business may not be very good.

After all, those people who value economic benefits will probably be persuaded to leave when they see the size of this bowl!

Linghua ate three bowls in a row before she was satisfied, but Xia Daohua only ate one bowl.

She ordered an extra large portion of roasted mutton to make herself a meal.

Linghua also hurriedly picked up two chopsticks and commented. She thought the mutton was crispy and fragrant, but it was more comfortable to eat the noodles with the mutton soup.

Xia Daohua smiled and watched Linghua eating happily, and couldn't help but think that she might be able to open a restaurant.

It would be nice to place it next to the teahouse that I thought of before, face to face.

An inn can be arranged next to the restaurant.

It's a pity that there are really not enough people on hand. No matter how many beautiful ideas you have, you can only think about them first.

Linghua's stomach became round after eating, and she pulled Xia Daohua to get up and go for a walk to eat. Xia Daohua smiled and stood up along with her strength, and followed her forward. After walking a few steps, she felt something in front of her eyes.

It was blurry and my head felt dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, Linghua's feet gave way and she fell to the ground with a "thud". Xia Daohua reached out to help her, but when she bent down, she couldn't hold herself up and fell down.

Xia Daohua wanted to stand up, but found that her whole body was limp and she had no strength.

There was a "swish" in her heart, and a thought just flashed across her mind: "Mo Dan, you're on the hook! There was something wrong with that stall just now!"

Just as the thought flashed across his mind, before it completely disappeared, his whole vision went dark and he passed out.

The landlady who was smiling so brightly just now is laughing even louder now:

"Brothers, come out to work!"

Following this shout, several waves of people rushed out from the surrounding shops, all wearing the same clothes as the group of big men they met last time at Jingweiju, and each of them looked happy:

"This arrogant little bitch has finally fallen into the hands of our brothers!"

The middle-aged woman's face suddenly became serious:

"Jialiu, this little girl, the master asked her by name after many orders and instructions!

You have to be careful and remember to restrain the people under your hands!

If something goes wrong and the master is wronged, don't expect to get that thing around your neck! Even if Mrs. Huo is willing to come forward, she can't save you!"

The big Han Jialiu was smiling happily, but after hearing these words, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Silently, he took out a roll of rope and tied up Xia Daohua's hands and feet, and also tied up Linghua.

He stuffed two sesame walnuts into the mouths of two unconscious little girls, put blindfolds on them, and then stuffed the two people into the carriage of a carriage on the roadside.

Dear friends, do you have any cute little tickets to give to the lovely author? ^_^
