Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 715
"Five taels of silver..."

Chen Nian glanced at the other party and felt a little speechless. This Fu Ting really couldn't help boasting. Song San just said that he seemed to be different from before, but he returned to his original shape within a minute.

"I don't have five taels of silver. Our house has just been refurbished, and we opened a stall again. A lot of money has been spent, and my father's money is still useful, but I can lend you three taels, as long as you wait Come back, just remember to pay me back."

Fu Ting nodded quickly when he heard it: "Three taels are fine, and don't worry, brother, I will definitely pay back the money! At that time, when I win the Juren, don't say three taels, let me pay back ten times at that time." You are all right!"

Song San pulled his face down just now, just after Fu Ting and Chen Nian agreed to get the money later when he went back to pack his luggage and walk along the way, he said after Fu Ting left: "Son , you are confused, with him like this, how can I get your money back?"

But Chen Nian shook his head: "Father, it's okay. Although the three taels of silver is a lot, it is still my investment in him, and Dad, didn't you listen to him? Give it back to me.

Even if he doesn't pass the exam, it doesn't matter. If he has money, he can pay it back. If he has no money, he can't pay it back. At least the extra three taels of silver will allow him to spend more time on reading and writing after going to the provincial capital. above the article. "

Song San sighed: "Son, you are still too kind."

But then he didn't say anything else, after all, it was Chen Nian's own money, and he knew that Chen Nian was a very thoughtful person, and Song San didn't want to take care of his children like other families did.

Anyway, he has experienced a lot of things in his life. He has met good people and people who cheated, raped and played tricks. Since his son is willing to do this, let him do it well. Even if he suffers at the time, he can learn a lesson .

After selling offal soup and soy milk and returning home, Xu Erni secretly pulled Chen Nian aside, then glanced at Song San who was basking in the sun in the yard at the moment, quietly pulled Chen Nian's hand up, and then covered her own hand on top.

Chen Nian only felt that there was a heavy weight in his hand, and when he opened it up, he saw that it was a few pieces of silver.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Xu Erni said with a smile: "Here's the money, you always have to bring some money with you, and when the time comes, you can go out and buy some food for Xiaotao, or you can buy something you want to eat yourself, if you don't have the money No way, mother knows your kindness, in fact your father also knows, but he is such a person."

Chen Nian quickly pushed the money back,
"Mother, no need. I still have dozens of pennies on me, which is enough. You two will keep the money. It's not like we don't stop doing business. Dad will give me some after counting the money every time I go back." .”

In the end, he forced the money back into Xu Erni's hands.

Not long after, Fu Ting came to the door, and Chen Nian put the three taels of silver he had prepared into the hands of the other party: "Brother Fu, you must pass the exam this time, I'm still waiting for you to become a master of juren Come back, help and support me."

Fu Ting was full of confidence at the moment: "Don't worry, if I really win the Juren and come back, I can be an official regardless of size, and then I will let you be my master!"

"Then I'll be waiting, brother!"

Just like that, Chen Nian watched Fu Ting's figure getting further and further away.

……

Time flies, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye. During these few months, Chen Nian has tried all the medicinal materials he can come into contact with, and is basically familiar with the usage of these medicinal materials in food.

Xiao Tao still comes to deliver tofu to Chen Nian every day, and in his spare time, Chen Nian will also take Xiao Tao to visit Fu Ting's house and give him something.

Since they are willing to believe in themselves, then Chen Nian will not disappoint the other party's trust in him, not to mention that with his relationship with Fu Xin, he will not see the other party's mother and son being bullied because there is no man in the family.

Every time Chen Nian took Xiaotao with him, he didn't want the neighbors in the neighborhood to criticize him.

Every time he went to Fu Ting's house, Chen Nian could see his sister-in-law urging Fu Xin to study and practice calligraphy. Although he was still young, this was Fu Ting's advice before he left.

Sometimes when Chen Nian sees Fu Xin's handwriting, he will comment on it. Now Fu Xin is not the champion.

Chen Nian will correct him when he sees it.

"Hey, who would have imagined that the No. 20 scholar in more than [-] years would be instructed by me to write?"

But when he thought that Fu Xin would write far more characters than himself in the future, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Sure enough, some people's talents are born.

But he didn't get too entangled in this kind of thing, because it wasn't his main battlefield.

The stewed meat business at home is getting better and better. Many people want to learn from a teacher or buy Song San's recipe, but Song San refuses them all. He only wants to pass on this skill to Chen Nian, otherwise He would rather take it into the dirt.

But when the business gets bigger, it is inevitable that there will be jealous people.

They began to spread rumors that there were unclean things in the stewed pork cooked by Song San. When the words reached Song San's ears, he was furious and vowed to find out who this person was on the spot!

In the end, Chen Nian persuaded him.

Since people dare to create this rumor, they must not be afraid of us coming to the door.

And Chen Nian can even guess what the other party will say when the time comes. The general idea is that since you think what I said is wrong, then you should do it in front of everyone, and show all the process completely, so that everyone Know your meat is clean.

In this way they become passive.

So the best way for them to spread rumors is to control public opinion in turn.

Since the other party would make such rumors, Chen Nian could naturally do the same.

In the next period of time, Chen Nian secretly investigated who spread the rumor, and then found out that the other party likes to go to casinos and loses more than wins.

In this way, aging will have its own weapon.

First of all, he started to spread rumors that some people were jealous of their business, so he said this. There were quite a few people who knew Song San acquaintance, so soon this kind of rumor also began to spread, but it was just for sure is not enough.

Because there are always people who are unwilling to think about it, thinking that the truth of the matter should be the same as what they think, and coupled with their hatred of the rich, they are naturally more willing to believe in rumors.

But aging has a second step.

This is the most commonly used method in the entertainment circle of later generations.

If a big melon is exposed on the artist of your own family, then use the bigger melon on the other artist's body to reduce your own popularity.

So Chen Nian directly took advantage of the time when the other party went shopping with his friends to find his wife and told him about it, and told the other party not to be impulsive, it may be that the men in their family have been under too much pressure recently, and maybe they are there Just drinking and chatting.

But that man's wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After hearing the news, she became angry on the spot, and rushed to the brothel to rape her husband in bed!
This incident caused a lot of trouble in the next few days, and everyone knew about it. In a short while, this topic directly covered the disturbance of Song San Braised Pork.

"Son, why do you think this man is not satisfied?"

"His wife didn't dislike him for being poor before, and saved him money. Later, his business did improve, but he got involved in gambling again, and now he still goes shopping in brothels. That's all, he's still doing this when he's married... Hasn't he thought that his wife gave him two sons?"

"Father, isn't that how people are? Some people are healthy and healthy for a lifetime, but some people start to die after they have money, thinking that they are not good enough."

At this time Xu Erni also interjected: "Yeah, it's a good thing your father didn't become such a person, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live with him."

Song San couldn't help giving his wife a blank look, as if he was blaming her for saying this in front of the children: "Don't compare me with this kind of person, it's bad luck!"

But after he finished speaking, he thought of the previous incident: "He wanted to buy my stewed pork recipe before, but I didn't sell it to him. You said that some people said that our meat was not clean. Is that what he said? I think this kind of person can do this kind of thing."

"That's hard to say." Chen Nian pretended to analyze.

As soon as this matter was brought up, Song San became very angry, and he slapped the table heavily: "No, I have to go to him later and ask him to explain the matter clearly to me, or else after this matter passes , some people will still say that the meat I cook, Song San, is not clean."

"Father, I don't think you need to worry. Even if you find him, he won't admit it."

"Don't admit it? Then I'll hit him until he admits it!"

When Xu Erni heard this, she panicked on the spot: "Old man, don't do anything stupid. With your strength, how can you beat someone? Even if you really beat him up, when you turn around, he will kill you." Report to the official, and then you will still go to the prison of the government, and the life there is not for people, what if you go in and let the two of us do?"

"Then just watch him speak ill of us everywhere?"

"Father, I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people. As long as we don't do anything wrong, we won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Chen Nian also comforted.

"Fair? There is no justice in this world. If there is justice, they won't listen to villains gossip." Song San said.

But after being dissuaded by his wife and son, he finally calmed down and decided to think of a solution in the next few days.

After this incident, Chen Nian also planned to move on to the next step.

In fact, he also knew that some of what Song San said was true. There are many things in this world that cannot be measured with justice. However, laws related to punishing rumormongers were proposed in later generations, but there are still many people talking about it. Eating human blood steamed buns.

Not to mention this time.

Spreading rumors has never been costly, and just one sentence can drive people to a desperate situation.

But old age will never let this kind of thing happen.

After a few days of fermenting, the family of the rumor-monger was already in a state of turmoil.

But this incident and the one before it are just a foreshadowing.

Moreover, most people would not connect the rumors with the other party's family background. What Chen Nian has to do now is to let people put these two things together.

In such a place, the fastest way to spread public opinion is still those men's wine tables chatting with some old women in the streets and alleys.

But the way many men get the news is also through their own women.

Chen Nian has stayed in this county for more than half a year, and he is already very familiar with the neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood. Every day when he goes out, he will chat with those who look up and look down, although those old women always say that they want him to marry A family of wives annoyed him a bit, but now they were his trumpet.

When chatting with those old women, Chen Nian "inadvertently" said that the person once wanted to buy his father's stewed pork formula, running on his business, and after his father refused, he said rudely that he would make Song San regret it, and The news that the other party often hangs around in the casino and loses a large amount of money is said at the same time.

Just after he left, the old women started chatting, and they quickly connected this matter together. I have to say that their imagination is still very rich. Originally, Chen Nian just wanted everyone to start from The opponent loses money and thinks of wanting to take the hen that lays golden eggs from Song San.

But in the version of those aunts, a lot of side details were added, and the story seemed to become more and more evil in the subsequent dissemination, and Song San was directly described as a great benevolent person who is unique in a million.

Even if the family is poor, they are willing to help the little beggars who have fallen on the roadside.

And the little beggar is also a filial son who is unique in ten thousand. After being picked up, he knows how to repay his kindness and tries his best to help the family with work every day. In order to take better care of his parents, he even refused a blind date.

As for Xu Erni, she is a virtuous wife who is one in a million. No matter what Song San is, she has always followed Song San and never said a word of complaint.

Also, when their family sells things, they are never short of catties. Instead, they will charge less money and give more meat and extra broth every time.

Since there is good, there will be negative. When the three members of Song Shan's family are described as one in a million, naturally there must be villains to set off.

And this villain is the man who spread rumors and caused trouble.

In just a few days, there were seven or eight versions on the market, but among these versions, without exception, it was the formula of that person who coveted Song Shan for various reasons.

This news soon spread to Song San's ears.

"You said this is really weird, and now the outside world is almost boasting about our family."

Chen Nian smiled, but didn't say that all of these were manipulated by him behind the scenes.

Hidden strength and name.

But it's not enough yet.

Only when the other party's reputation is completely stink, will anyone not believe what they say.

After all, all the news now is just rumors.

He has one last big move.

On this day, Chen Nian directly wrote a small composition.

It uses a beautiful and small font.

Then it was pasted on the wall outside the other party's gate.

The general idea is that the man living here lied to me about my body, and then asked me to give birth to several children for him, saying that he would divorce the poor wife at home and give me a title, but three years have passed, Not to mention his status, he started looking for other women again. Although he wanted to find her very much, he didn't want his child to suffer too much criticism, so he wrote this article, and then took the child Stay away from this place.

Some water stains were dripped on the paper to fake tears.

Chen Nian knew that most ordinary people in this era could not read very well, but this did not prevent them from seeing this piece of paper.

And it was posted on the door of the other party's house.

Although many of them do not know what is written on it, they can always find someone who can read and read it to them.
