Chapter 77 Debt free and light
After Su Chen paid off the 500 yuan debt, he immediately felt relaxed and tore up the documents on the spot. From now on, he would start a new life in Runzhou.
"Don't gamble anymore, you know? Otherwise, if I find out, I won't take care of you for Ling'er!" Peng Qingqing stood in front of Su Chen and said "good words", moving her wrists with both hands, making a clicking sound.
Su Chen curled his lips and smiled bitterly, thinking that it wasn't me who was in debt before!
I'm just a scapegoat!
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" Peng Qingqing became more serious and put her hand on Su Chen's shoulder again, suddenly feeling a huge pressure doubled.
Su Chen nodded quickly. Although he had strong objections to her way of taking off his arms, he didn't dare to show it because he couldn't beat her.
This is not on a bed, on a bench, or any other place where you can lie down. Standing on the ground and using force, he is really no match for Peng Qingqing. Even if he has one arm and two long legs, he can't beat her.
Su Chen hurriedly said: "Oh, I understand. I was confused before, was plotted by others, and fell into a trap by mistake. That kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
"That's pretty much it!" When Peng Qingqing saw him personally agreeing not to gamble anymore, a smile appeared on Qingmei's cheeks.
"Ahem!" Magistrate Peng suddenly appeared from the side and saw the two of them holding hands in the Yamen courtyard, with a bad look on their faces.
"Hey!" Peng Qingqing forced a smile and withdrew her magic hand.
Su Chen gritted his teeth, moved his shoulders, and smiled at Magistrate Peng, but the other party gave him a roll of his eyes, as if he didn't like him, as if he had bullied his daughter.
"Prefect Peng, Wansheng has resigned."
"Let's go!" Peng Zeliang snorted softly and waved his sleeves to let him go.
"I'll see you off!" Peng Qingqing wanted to leave with him. It was almost noon, so she could go and have lunch.
"Stop, it's almost lunch time and you're still running out!" Peng Zeliang shouted to Qingqing.
"Oh, I'll see him off and go to Bairun Building by the way."
"Come into the hall with me, I have something to say as a father!" Peng Zeliang shouted to stop his daughter, then turned and returned to the hall. It seemed that he was going to have a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter.
Su Chen took the opportunity to escape. He couldn't afford to offend either of the two magistrates, father and daughter!
"Let's go if we say we can. You have everything I have..." Su Chen left the magistrate's office in a happy mood, hummed a little tune, and returned home.
In the time it took to burn an incense stick, Su Chen arrived at home and drank a bowl of cold medicine soup that he had made to prevent wind and cold diseases. After taking it for three meals, he felt some coldness coming out of his body and did not catch a cold.
In order to celebrate paying off the debt today, Su Chen personally cooked some delicious dishes to share with Ling'er.
Special recipes such as boiled fish, spicy hot pot, and braised chicken are all full of color, flavor, and flavor. Su Chen comes from modern times, so his cooking thinking is still somewhat different from that of the ancients, so what he remembers in his mind are all modern dishes.
When the dishes were cooked and put on the table, someone was heard shouting from outside: "Is this Brother Su Chensu's mansion?"
Su Chen walked to the courtyard and saw a familiar fat figure. It was Xiaopang Han who came to the door.
"Mr. Han, why are you here?"
"I've been waiting for Brother Su at home all morning, but I haven't seen you come to the door. I'm really impatient, so I came over to see for myself. I'm worried about what happened." Han Yunpeng said with a smile and walked into the yard.
Su Chen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said yesterday that he would come to see Mr. Han today, but Han Yunpeng was worried that when Su Chen showed up, Xiaopang Han would extort some money from his father on the pretext of going out to entertain Su Chen.
"I was delayed at the magistrate's office in the morning because of something. Let's go there in the afternoon." Su Chen explained.
Han Yunpeng suddenly sniffed and looked surprised: "What does it smell like? It's such a strong aroma of vegetables -"
As he spoke, he quickly walked towards the door of the house and looked suspicious when he saw several dishes on the table: "Hey, what kind of dish is this? Why have I never seen anything like this in all the major restaurants in Runzhou City?"
practice?"
"Have you had a meal at noon? If you don't mind, we can eat together!" Su Chen politely invited him. Yesterday, Fatty Han invited him to have some flower wine, and he wanted to return the invitation today.
"Not yet, it's just right." Han Yunpeng chuckled and stepped into the house. He smelled the aroma of the vegetables and had a little saliva rolling in his mouth.
Su Chen smiled and said: "You're welcome, sit down!"
Although the two of them had dined out for the first time yesterday, they got along well and seemed to have a good temper. In addition, Su Chen saved his father's illness, Han Yunpeng didn't have the airs of a government official in front of Su Chen.
Han Yunpeng moved his chopsticks and tasted the dishes one by one. He couldn't help nodding and praising: "It's delicious. It has a unique taste. I have never tasted anything like this. It is different from what the chefs of Runzhou Restaurant make. Did you make this yourself?"
"Brother Su Chen did it!" Yang Linger showed off proudly.
"Brother Su, I didn't expect you to have such a skill. You hide it so secretly. I admire you!" Han Yunpeng is a foodie. This time, the taste is special and suits his appetite, and he looks excited.
He took a few bites of the spicy hot pot and boiled fish, and felt a slight spicy taste. He said with emotion: "It would be great if I had wine to accompany me."
"Ling'er, bring the fine wine." Su Chen asked Ling'er to get the purified alcohol, poured a glass for Han Yunpang, and poured some wine to accompany him.
Han Yunpeng thought it was ordinary sake. He took a big sip and almost choked on the spiciness. He coughed a few times and said in surprise: "What a strong wine. Brother Su, what you eat and drink is so precious!"
Su Chen didn't take it seriously and said, "If you like it, I'll bring you a jar of this high-altitude wine when I leave!"
Han Yunpeng rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course that's good! You don't know, my father likes drinking the most. I will divide it into cups for him when I go back, which can get a lot of money. In the future, we will go to Hualou to have wine.
There will be no shortage of money.”
Su Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, this kid is always thinking about how to cheat his father!
After eating for a while, Han Yunpeng suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I came back from the water yesterday. Brother Su, are you sick or infected with wind and cold?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Han Yunpeng sighed and said: "I heard from people that Liu Menong, the leader of the Xiangyun Pavilion, fell seriously ill yesterday when she returned home. She suffered from severe wind and cold. There are constant rumors that she committed suicide by drowning in the river. She fell into the water and was frivolous.
Her condition has worsened. I heard that the high fever has not subsided and she has begun to have hysterical attacks and talk nonsense. When the doctor comes back and mentions Miss Liu's condition, it is already very dangerous."
After Su Chen heard this, his expression was stunned, and the beautiful white face of a woman from yesterday appeared in his mind again.
