Wang Chang looked at himself, stretched out his hand, and touched his face and stomach again, lowered his head and said nothing.
In fact, he really wants to say that Gongsun Moyu is not black and thin, just black, can he run outside all day, but he can’t justify himself by accusing others, he said that Xiaobei and the others were angry, so he couldn’t make it straight. Pull yourself to the capital.
"I can prove that within one and a half years, the county magistrate Wang did not get a penny from the county government's finances for his own enjoyment." Gongsun Moyu spoke out.
Without waiting for others to inquire, he continued: "Because I know the financial money after I came to the county. Part of the money that was handed over to the court last year and was beaten back was in the state capital's Datang Bank. I paid it back last year. In the twelve waves of inspectors, the magistrate Wang Xian really used the financial money, so I reported it.
Since the end of this year, our finances have been public, and we have spoken to the people every dollar we need. So far, there have been five waves of inspectors. If there is a problem, the villagers will tell the truth when the inspectors ask the people. "
"Yes, that's right, Gongsun County Cheng is right. I come to inspect once a month. I'm timid and won't spend the county's money." Wang Chang said quickly.
"Don't change the concept secretly. I ask you why you are so white and fat. You told me that you didn't spend any money from the county finances. If you didn't spend any money, you can only say that you are not greedy for ink, but you can't say you are okay. For example, you You took bribes, for example, you used your status as a county magistrate to bully people, or you stopped paying for meals in restaurants."
Xiaobei still believes that Wang Chang's body cannot be easily raised in the difficult environment of the county.
"I... I..." After Wang Chang heard the question asked by Beckham, his speech began to hesitate, obviously something was being said.
Gongsun Moyu said to the side: “What I can say is that Wang County Order does not pay for meals, and he has three fixed restaurants for meals. Ranging from fifty to one hundred liters."
"Ha, you can still eat and pay for food, a good thing, why haven't I encountered it before? Wang Xian asked you to say that I will learn how to do it when I turn around. There are such wonderful things in the world, okay." Beckham began to gritted his teeth.
"Wrong, wronged." One person came out of the crowd with a rolling pin in his hand. Seeing that everyone looked at the weapon in his hand, four others grabbed his clothes and threw the rolling pin on the ground quickly, shaking with fright. , Because there are already at least twenty pistols pointed at him.
"Help him pick it up. What kind of weapon can the rolling pin be? At the critical moment, the fist and head can do what a rolling pin can do. Newcomers, who do you say is wronged?" Xiaohai didn't believe anyone would rush to use it stupidly. The rolling pin attacks, the rolling pin is no more than two feet long.
The gun was put away, and the rolling pin was also picked up, but it was not handed over to the person who squeezed in.
"The magistrate of the county king was wronged. I heard from outside that he said that he didn’t pay for food but he wanted money. It was really wrong. He often ate in my shop. Why did he complain about it? Because he didn’t just eat, but he also helped to do it. . Wang Xianling’s cooking skills are simply superb. Oh, my surname is Zhang, which is a cheap word for cooking."
The self-proclaimed Zhang Cai gave a thumbs up when he praised Wang Chang.
Xiaobei and the others were silent, looked at Zhang Cai, and motioned for him to continue.
Zhang Cai looked a little nervous, took a few breaths, calmed his mood, and then said: "The best thing about Wang Xianling's cooking is his knife skills and deep-frying. The knife works well. Cut radishes and a few radishes. The silk is not as thick as the hair, and there are fried things, the same pot, the same oil, the same things, and the fried food is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
How far is it? Let me tell you something. Pork knows it, and fish knows it. After the magistrate Wang’s hands, it’s fried and fried. The pork bite on the outside and it's crunchy. The fish inside is the juice. The same thing, it is fragrant and fresh.
Those who have eaten will give testimony. Every time the magistrate Wang comes to eat in the restaurant, I have always asked you to join in the fun. Let’s talk about his cooking skills, not to mention his county magistrate. I will give him money, right? "
"right."
"I have eaten too."
"good to eat."
"Cai Danzi, don't talk nonsense, Wang County orders fried things better, and the fried ones are better than you. Don't put gold on your face."
There was a sound of proof, and Xiaobei looked at the old man next to him and the old woman with a stick. Seeing that the two had no objection, he believed a lot in his heart.
Look at the magistrate Wang Changwang again, Xiaobei suddenly laughed: "Haha, are you a cook or a magistrate? No wonder you are fat, you are a typical foodie. You don't care about the people in the county. , If you have nothing to do, you ran into someone’s restaurant to eat and cook for others, don’t you think you are a magistrate?"
"Yes, yes, foodie, I am a foodie, I am not worthy to be the magistrate." Wang Changshun said.
"I don't think you can understand, you are a foodie, how do you become a county magistrate? You should be a cook." Xiaobei is depressed this time. Whoever put Wang Chang in the county magistrate's position is cheating.
"In the sixth year of Kaiyuan, I was a forty-two student in Mingjing Department. I used to work in the court. I found that my salary was too low. Next to my home was the land of other high-ranking officials. I wanted to raise pigs, but they said it smelled bad. I want to dig a pond to raise fish. People are afraid that the water from the pond will drown the seedlings in their fields, so they won’t be allowed to dig them.
Later, I cooked dishes for the official in charge of me for half a month, and then he helped to transfer me away. Then Wenshan County was missing the magistrate, so I asked someone to help and transferred to Wenshan. I knew before I came here that there are a lot of game in the mountains, and there are also a lot of medicinal materials, which is just right for food. "
When Wang Chang talked about eating, he had to drool, and swallowed hard before it got out of his mouth.
Beckham slapped his forehead twice: "I... I... I really don't know what to say. If I believe Zhang Cai now, your dishes must be delicious. One who chooses to be an official place for eating. People, I don’t think it’s right to say that he doesn’t cook well. Have you been hungry since childhood?"
"No, I was able to eat when I was young. It was my mother. My father died early. My mother pulled our six brothers and sisters to live alone. At that time..."
Wang Chang began to talk about family affairs, saying that his mother had suffered a lot to raise their six children. They used to eat first when they were young, and then their mother would eat it again. Get some dishwashing water to drink, it's eaten.
Later, he swore to the heavens to the ancestors and ancestors, saying that one day he would have a good life, and he would definitely let his mother eat good things every day. Before I took the imperial examination, I helped others to copy books, made money to buy ingredients and returned to my mother to make it.
Then, while serving as an official, he bought all kinds of salaries for his mother, wife and children to eat. As long as he was at home, he would not let others cook. Once you develop a habit, you won’t feel comfortable if you don’t cook for a day.
No matter where you go to be an official, you must first consider what you can eat in the local area, so that you can eat delicious food when you bring your family there.
My daily life is very frugal. If my clothes are worn out, my wife can make up for it. Leftovers are not allowed to be thrown away. After all, mothers used to wash bowls of water before drinking them.
When Wenshan found that there were a lot of game, but the county was poor. Compared with the past, I could always get some benefits in other places before. What is Wenshan County? I really wanted to be greedy, but my mother refused, saying that it was the suffering of the people. I would be punished sooner or later if I spent the money. I would rather continue to drink the dishwashing water than eat the food bought with the greedy money, otherwise I would starve to death.
So Wang Chang felt that when his salary was not enough, he changed his way to three good restaurants in the county to help.
With a good craftsmanship, I have been doing well in the past few years. I can make bear paws for my mother twice a year. With Gongsun Moyu's arrival, he found that he couldn't compete with others. Just because Gongsun Moyu had the ability, he put aside the affairs of the county and concentrated on cooking.
"I really didn't do anything bad." Wang Chang promised once again for the last time.
"You also said that you didn't do bad things, you are considered inaction, thanks to Gongsun Moyu coming, otherwise the people in the county will be killed by you." Xiaobei pointed to Wang Chang and said.
"I confess my guilt, I deserve a million deaths." Wang Chang bowed his head.
Beckham sighed: "Oh."
He stretched out his hand to grab Xiaoyuan's shoulder and swayed back and forth and said: "Xiaoyuan, you said we are so fate, can't we encounter a simpler case? Check the evidence, click and chop off the head, everyone is agile.
Look at the people we met. We went to investigate at the seaside, but they were very capable, and in the end they could only warn me; Fengzhou went to investigate, and it turned out to be a guy who was also used and sleek; it’s the same now, you say you Cut him down, but he is filial piety first, and he also knows how to be thrifty.
Moreover, he helped the restaurant cook, which can be regarded as improving the dietary conditions of some people. But you don't want to clean him up, he hasn't done anything in the past few years, just thinking about how to make good food. Too torture. "
Xiao Yuan felt the same way, nodded, and comforted Beckham: "Fate, this is fate. The county magistrate can't do it, or let's send him to the front."
"What are you doing, let him do business?" Xiaobei pursed his lips and asked.
"Go ahead to study and study the ingredients there. In the future, we will lay down to build a place. The people will eat food as the sky, let him go and try it." Xiao Yuan made an idea.
Beckham thought for a while, and said dissatisfied: "I have a brother enough. Didn't my brother cook something for us? He said that it is the food that may appear over there in the future. It is called curry. I grabbed it and ate it with my hands. . I admit that he has ambitions since he was a child, and he cooks well, but it depends on who he compares.
Good sword skills, beautiful when you have a brother playing with throwing swords? To deep-fry a pork wrapped in fish is nothing more than roasting the pork a little bit to remove the moisture. When wrapping the fish, use starch to moisturize the inner layer of the pork. If it’s cold, use frozen fish. After frying, of course it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, like juice, right, magistrate Wang. "
Wang Chang listened by the side. At first, he heard the two people decide their lives and deaths. He was still nervous. When he heard the method that Beckham said later, he immediately forgot about the nervous thing. He was surprised and asked: "You...how do you...how do you know? Yes? My exclusive secret recipe. When making steamed buns with soup, just freeze them first. My recipe is not spread."
"Ah! My restaurant, Shuiyunjian has made soup dumplings many years ago. Do you think you do well, have you eaten real soup dumplings? My brother makes the best delicacies in the world. ." Beckham said proudly.
"I must ask for advice when I have time." Wang Chang replied unconvinced.
"If you have time, my brother hasn't worked yet."
"Yes, I almost forgot, your brother is Xiaobao, and he won't play with me." Wang Chang looked very depressed, too poor in status.
"Find a place to rest first, and talk about your affairs later. Don't worry, you can't die. You will suffer a little bit at most. Gongsun Moyu, think about the plan, and tell us back, we can also find brothers and sisters if we can't solve them, I I believe my brothers and sisters are definitely better than you."
Xiaobei, who found that he still couldn't directly kill officials, speeded up his pace. At the same time, he felt that this was good, indicating that Datang's officials were getting fewer and fewer problems. If there were officials damned everywhere, Datang would be in danger.
