Bai Shan then said to Zhou Man: "You go back first, I will have dinner with them."
Zhou Man nodded, "Okay, I'll give you Li Wei, you should watch him more."
Bai Shan nodded, "Okay."
County Magistrate Lu wished to drag Bai Shan into a long talk all night long, but it was impossible, the two of them got together and talked not long before someone came to invite them.
Although they don't need to be greeted by everyone, Governor Guo and Governor Liu are both officials in the court, so they still have to eat dinner together.
What's more, Bai Shan is still the host, so he has to go.
Fortunately, Fang Xiancheng and Mr. Cui are very capable, they have already made preparations, although there are more people than they expected, but it doesn't matter, the meals they cook are not complicated, and they can still manage enough.
Plate after plate of dishes was served, and everyone found that there were not many types, but each dish was served in three plates, which were placed in three directions on the table. It was very good and perfectly took care of everyone.
The menu was made by Bai Shanding. He asked someone to bring up the drinks, poured them for Guo Inspector and Liu Inspector, and said: "My lords, please don't take offense. The food is simple. It’s because it’s winter and the ingredients are limited.”
Everyone expressed their understanding.
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Fortunately, there are not many other things near Longchi, but there is no shortage of delicacies in the sea. You can try our Longchi's method of seafood and see if it suits your taste."
The menu is set by Bai Shanding, but the recipes of the dishes have been improved by Mrs. Qian and the cook at home, even if they are not as good as those of major restaurants, they still have a special taste.
Governor Guo took a piece of fish and nodded slightly, "That's right, the deliciousness of the fish is preserved, but it also has a salty and sweet taste."
Liu Cishi, however, ate the fish with the shredded ginger sprinkled on it, and his eyes lit up, "This shredded ginger is delicious."
That's how he likes to eat.
Bai Shan likes to put ginger in dishes, but he doesn't like to eat ginger, so he can't understand it, but this doesn't affect him happily recommending his own ginger, "This ginger is grown by ourselves."
Officials: ... This is a bit abrupt.
But Bai Shan said with a smile: "My lords, if you still like it, I'll send some to you later."
He decided to ask the capital to send more ginger seeds when he went home, and he also looked for local ginger seeds to plant in his own field, and he could also plant some in the official field.
In other words, here is near the sea, and there are a lot of things to eat in the sea, so you need a lot of ginger, right
The officials couldn't understand Bai Shan's intention to give ginger away, but since he wanted to give it away, they would keep it, so they smiled and everyone ate happily.
After eating and drinking enough to chat, Bai Shan went back to his room to rest. He wanted to go to the other courtyard on the mountainside to have a look at Zhou Man, but he gave up after thinking about it. Today is too tired, Zhou Man Man must have fallen asleep too.
After taking a shower, Bai Shan spread out on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
The county magistrate Lu who was sleeping next door couldn't sleep no matter what, he took out the draft of Bai Shan's calculations today and looked at it again and again.
The master lived with him, and the weather was cold, so the two big men huddled together to sleep, and it was warmer.
Seeing the county magistrate sitting at the table without moving for a long time, he couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at, sir?"
The master is his staff member and his confidant, County Magistrate Lu didn't hide it from him, he beckoned someone over, and showed him the messy draft, "Look, this is Bai Shan's income from working in the field. "
The master glanced at it, saw a circled number, and said directly: "This is impossible!"
He is in charge of County Magistrate Lu's account books. As a master, he is responsible for both official and private affairs of County Magistrate Lu.
County Magistrate Lu sighed, "I didn't believe it at first, but he said it firmly, and look at the Longchi Wharf."
He said: "Not to mention the part of the wharf that has been built, as far as we can see, the workers, not counting wages, how much do they go to eat and drink every day?"
"As far as I know, Beihai County has not asked for money from the Governor's Mansion this year, so these people are all raised by Bai Shan."
As for the situation in Beihai County, how could County Magistrate Lu, who has only been promoted from Beihai County for less than a year, not know
Master naturally also knows.
He subconsciously said: "Magistrate Bai put his private house inside?"
County Magistrate Lu: "...Although I admit that County Magistrate Bai is very rich, he is not so proud that he puts money in for nothing, and there is still so much money."
The master thinks about it too, what is wrong with having so much money, why do you have to fill it in? Then it can only be Beihai County's money.
County magistrate Lu knocked on the table and told the master about Bai Shan's plan to build this vacant land. As soon as the master heard that he was buying a piece of land, he would build a piece of land for Beihai County for free, and immediately said: "This is impossible, who would be so stupid Spend so much money to buy an open field?"
County Magistrate Lu: "... I have reserved a piece of land with Mr. Bai, the best location."
Master: ...
He felt that Magistrate Lu was deceived by Magistrate Bai, but looking at Magistrate Lu's face, he didn't dare to speak out.
County magistrate Lu put away the draft and said with a serious face: "I heard from Fang Xiancheng that one-third of the wasteland in Beihai County has been cultivated and all of it is used as official land. I don't know what the income will be. I won't know until next autumn, if it succeeds, I want to be in Yidu County... "
County magistrate Lu paused at this point, feeling a little distressed, "I'm afraid Yidu County can't do it."
The master just raised his heart and relaxed a little, and quickly said: "Yes, my lord, Yidu County is different from Beihai County, Beihai County is remote and poor, so as long as Bai Shan conquers the Song family, the Zhao family will not object. That is, he speaks with one word, but in Yidu County, it affects the whole body."
County Magistrate Lu sighed faintly. He used to think that although Bai Shan was capable, he was able to beat him because of his good family background and status in connections.
But after some earnest talk today, he found that there was indeed a big gap between the two of them.
The master sat with County Magistrate Lu for a while, and felt the cold wind coming in through the gaps in the doors and windows, so he just felt his back was cold, and he couldn't help saying: "My lord, why don't you go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."
County magistrate Lu put away the paper and went to bed first.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up on time, didn't have breakfast, just drank some warm water and went to the pier first.
Zhou Man and the others got up earlier, so after eating breakfast, they heard that the ship was about to enter the port, and immediately got ready to go.
Guo Inspector and Liu Inspector had known that the princess son-in-law was here, and when they arrived, they immediately took them to greet them.
The people who came with Governor Guo couldn't help being excited, and looked at the princess and consort with piercing eyes.
They actually met the princess, who is still the emperor's favorite first princess!
