Chapter 1067 Changping County Lord 15
Xi Ning was secretly amused to see ordinary people being so lost when they saw her.
Picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The beef and mutton here are delicious. The mutton is cooked until crispy and the pieces are moderately fat and lean. The beef is cut into thin slices and the tendon tastes chewy.
He tapped his chopsticks: "You guys should sit down and eat together."
Butler Xiao and Jing'er almost said they didn't dare at the same time. She smiled faintly: "You don't have to be restrained when you go out. You have something to do after eating."
Having said that, Jing'er still took the bowls and chopsticks and picked some to give to Butler Xiao. She also took a portion and the two of them went behind her to eat.
In this case, don't be polite. Xining took another sip of the soup. The mutton soup with a small amount of salt was surprisingly delicious. So we feasted on a lot of beef and mutton, broke off half of the sesame seed cake, and drank a bowl of mutton soup.
Jing'er ate a whole sesame seed cake and drank two bowls of soup. Butler Xiao said that he didn't dislike the county master for drinking the rest, so he ate the beef soup that Xining took a sip and his two bowls.
I asked for ten kilograms of beef and mutton, but there was still a lot left over after eating. I asked for wax paper, poured it all into the paper and wrapped it up.
Butler Xiao shouted for the check, and the store owner came up, nodding and bending, not daring to raise his eyes. It is said that it is a blessing for the shop to have a noble person come to eat, and there is no need to pay for the meal.
Xining winked, and Butler Xiao forced a piece of broken silver into the shop owner's hand: "Just take it."
Xining stood up, and Jing'er quickly waited on her and helped her put on her hat.
While walking on the road, Xi Ning still had more to say: "Why is the meat cooked in this shop so delicious, even the chefs in the house can't compare with it?"
Butler Xiao held two large bags of meat in his hand and smiled apologetically: "The cook in the mansion was brought by the county lord, and he cooks mostly dishes from the Central Plains. And this shop has been open for the second generation. It has been around for a long time. More than 20 years ago, the shop owner's father cooked here every day. He also put in the effort to know how to cook the most delicious cuts of beef and mutton, and how to cook them. What comes out is certainly incomparable.”
"Oh?" Xining raised her eyebrows, her face blurred in the white gauze of her hat: "No wonder it tastes so delicious."
Seeing that the county owner was so kind, Butler Xiao immediately asked tentatively: "How about hiring someone here?"
Xining walked slowly. He had eaten too much and needed to walk to eat. With a compassionate heart: "It was only the second generation of this family that made it, so it has the taste it has today. Wouldn't it be a pity that such delicious food is only for me? If you want to eat it, just come and buy it. The price is not expensive."
Jing'er said from the side: "The people of Linyi County are really lucky that the county leader thinks about the people."
Xining made a proud sound in secret, but said something else: "It costs at least five taels of silver a month to hire a cook like this. How much meat can I eat in one meal? I might as well buy fresh meat when I want to eat."
Jing'er choked, but she thought it was a quick turn: "County Master Lan Xinhui is very considerate. She does buy fresh food every day and it costs less. If County Master wants to eat it, ask the store owner to pick it out."
Butler Xiao, who was walking behind, rolled his eyes. The county owner was quite stingy, but the things in the warehouse were all the best rare and expensive goods, and the county owner was nowhere to be seen.
Xining has another account in her mind. Now she is in the open and the enemy is in the dark. Even Jing'er, who had been with her for ten years, didn't know who sent the hidden stake. I have to play dumb from time to time and cannot express all my inner thoughts.
After eating and drinking well, after completing the inspection, we returned to the county chief's mansion. As soon as I entered the door, there was someone at the door. County Magistrate Zhou sent someone over. The general process for the post-autumn archery competition has been laid out and he wanted to discuss it with the county boss.
"There are so many things, one after another. Where are the people?" Xining untied his hat and walked inside. It's summer, and the heat seems to be getting worse every day. The person who replied followed all the way: "I'm still waiting in the living room."
According to previous plot memories, this summer was particularly hot, so the nearby farm suffered a poor harvest. Until late autumn, it was still unbearably hot. But when the first snow fell in winter, the temperature dropped sharply, and the scorching heat turned into severe cold. Heavy snow fell continuously for more than half a month, and countless cattle and sheep of the Xiongnu froze to death.
The Xiongnu came to rob the property, which was a last resort. Anyway, I have robbed it before. If I rob it, Linyi County may belong to me again. If I go deeper every time, I may still get compensation. It will be healthier to rob it.
After entering the house, Jing'er waited on her to wipe her face and wash her hands: "The county master has just come back and is very tired. Anyway, it's not too late to talk about things after the autumn tomorrow."
After wiping, Xi Ning only had to reach out to change clothes while standing there, and the maids would take care of everything.
She let out a long sigh: "After all, he was sent by County Magistrate Zhou, and I just mentioned it yesterday and brought the process today, which shows that I have put a lot of thought into it. Since they are selling my face so much, how can I be negligent? Go and serve a bowl of tea and some pastries, and say I’ll be there soon.”
"Yes!" The person who answered outside the door left to do it.
Putting on her light summer clothes, Jing'er handed over her fan: "How dare you bother the county magistrate with five hundred stones?"
"You also know that he gets a salary. Since they are all subjects of the imperial court, it is better to treat him with courtesy." Xining took the fan and shook it gently: "You are tired too, go and have a rest. Let Qin'er and Hua Come with me.”
Jing'er immediately knelt down: "I'm not tired, slave."
"I'm not tired yet. I'm tired even though I have you taking care of me. Go get some rest and don't get sick from fatigue. I'm not used to it without you by my side!" Xining said and walked out.
Jing'er could only shed tears of gratitude and bow to the ground: "Thank you so much for your concern, Lord County, and send you my best wishes."
Qin'er and Hua'er were immediately happy. After looking at each other, they followed behind with their heads bowed.
Qin'er and Hua'er were paired with Shen Master when he was learning piano art and painting. As a result, Shen Master became too lazy to learn after only a few days of learning, and the two maids could only serve as daily servants. On weekdays, everything is controlled by Jing'er, and they rarely have a chance to get ahead.
Xining walked while waving her fan: "You two usually follow me, and you have seen how Jing'er treats people. Be smart!"
"Yes, County Lord!" Two maids responded from behind.
When they arrived in the living room, Xining was still lying on his side. He was not used to sitting on his knees. Anyway, his body was slender and weak.
"Get up." Xining saw it and immediately became happy: "Master, it's you!"
The master who knelt down to salute stood up, with a bit of pretense of embarrassment: "Last time I met the County Lord, I asked the County Lord to forgive me for my rudeness."
"What are you talking about? The master has been here before and is well-informed. There may be things he doesn't understand in the future and he will bother the master." Xi Ning pretended to order people to watch.
A roll of bamboo slips was brought up, and the master knelt down beside it, checking the expression of the county master: "I drove this out overnight. If there is anything wrong or incomplete, please give me some advice."
