Master Zhan was angry. When I asked, he said no. Now he took it out as a gift, when his master and the county prime minister weren’t there
Xiao Xiancheng also pointed to the tofu mixed with shallots on the table and said: "Why is this tofu a bit sour? There are also bamboo shoots, which makes it hard to bite."
"Master Zhan said that this grilled lamb face did not exist just now. Someone brought it back. If you want to eat, I will get it for you. Xiao Xiancheng, it’s not sour tofu, sour sauce, or sour. Sauce, you get used to it. The bamboo shoots grow old, not for me to grow old."
The shopkeeper said in a hurry. In fact, he did it deliberately. His family’s tax has been paid for two years. For example, the tax for selling things at a stall is collected on a daily basis. Such a small shop collects on a monthly basis. I was afraid that I would not be able to hand over the money. Last year, the yamen was fine. After receiving the money for two years at once, he still paid the borrowed money.
He didn't dare to treat the master book and the county prince like this before, but now he dares to change the county magistrate, everything is different.
Xiao Xiancheng and Zhan’s master book also saw the treasurer’s thoughts. They were all uploaded today. When a new county magistrate is replaced, the common people may not dare to treat them like this, but Zhang Zhong is a different county magistrate. , Is still the Patriarch of Zhangjiazhuangzi in Sanshui County, with twenty guards of the palace by his side.
When the two compartments are compared, the two of them are naturally much worse. Of course, the people are not afraid. The masters and county princes who have no foundation still want to fight against the master of Zhangjiazhuangzi
Two people can't explain this to the people. It's not because you have the foundation to be good. Sometimes a small official can pull a big official down. The people don't understand this, just look at their respective powers and identities.
"Forget it, change another house." Master Zhan stood up depressed and wanted to walk outside after dropping his chopsticks.
"Master Zhan, you haven't paid for the meal yet." The shopkeeper quit and shouted loudly from there. Everyone who ate was thinking about these two unwelcome officials.
Xiao Xian Cheng was more stable, took out the money, counted out fifteen texts according to the price of the wine and vegetables, put them on the table, did not speak, and pulled Zhan's master book when he walked past the master book of Zhan.
Seeing the two people go out, the shopkeeper smiled and cleaned the table, still muttering: "I have been taxed for two years, and now it has changed."
"Brother Buyong, did you just let the shopkeeper go like this? He did it deliberately, to bully us two?" Master Zhan complained when he got into the car.
"Otherwise, what do you want? Bring the lawsuit to Zhang Zhong? Or let the servants come and arrest people? The first one is our own humiliation, and the latter, do you think there is still a servant to listen to us? I knew it was wrong at the beginning. They are so good, and now they are like human beings, and they did not do bad things less before."
Xiao County Cheng also felt aggrieved. If Zhang Zhong hadn't relied on his reputation in Sanshui County, how could the people of Huayuan County become like this in just a few days
There are also those bureaucrats who don’t have all their faces. Didn’t they just give something and take care of the meal, but they were bought out. I had known that I would not keep such bureaucrats at the beginning, and save those who can do things. , The upright government servant stayed, don't believe him that Zhang Zhong can still use that little thing to buy the past.
Master Zhan thought the same, and took a few breaths in a row, which made it easier to bear, and said, "Put it hard, wait for the money to get it and it will be easy to handle. Haven't those people's ginseng been sent?"
"How can it be so easy to find. The century-old ginseng is said to have it? It may not be taken out of the palace. Go home for dinner. It seems that you can't eat good things outside. The tax was still collected at the beginning. They don’t know how to be afraid."
Xiao Xian Cheng was still hungry. He had only eaten two bites just now, and the food was still uncomfortable, so he decided to go home and eat.
The cars of the two people turned to their homes, and the people who saw their cars would mutter a few words and take another bite. Who made them not the county magistrate? With the support of the new county magistrate, the people's courage became stronger.
The servants in the yamen naturally don’t have to go home to eat. They don’t have any money in the account, but Zhang Zhong is rich. He didn’t take them to Jinlailou for dinner at noon. There are so many people over there that they can’t get a place to stay. The room that came down was not suitable for the bureaucrats to eat together.
There was also a cook among the servants who followed, and the cook made the lunch for lunch, and just a few more. The cook fried nine dishes in a big pot, three meats and six vegetables, and an egg drop soup, the staple food. It is steamed buns and rice, each person in the yamen can choose one meat and two vegetarians, pick it himself, only those dishes, and there is no limit to the amount of rice.
This is the box lunch that Zhang Xiaobao sells. It's just that there are more styles of box lunches, and there are less styles here. Even so, no one in the yamen says that they don't want to. If you don't eat in the yamen, what can you eat when you go home
The people in the yamen first select each one, and the rest is sent to the workers. If it is not enough, then fry some. Zhangjiazhuang now has a lot of pork in stock, which is frozen and sent to a car. Can eat for several days.
Zhang Zhong also eats with the people in the yamen. As long as he is not working, he will look kind. When working, he will do whatever he wants. The only difference is that he eats better dishes than others. Four vegetarian dishes, a bowl of soup will also put some mushrooms or fungus.
He didn’t make this recipe, and he couldn’t help it. The son and daughter-in-law made a special recipe for the family according to the season. They said they didn’t understand the meaning of the nutritional combination. And it’s skewered, there will be no duplicates within ten days, and a specially prepared fruit plate will be eaten after the meal.
"Everyone comes to taste this. The food delivered here from Jinlailou is no way. I don't want to eat it at other homes. What I eat every day has already been decided on the first day."
Zhang Zhong said to the people in the yamen, here are not just some people like swordsmen and pens, but also government servants and miscellaneous people. Everyone squatted or sat in the yard to eat, and Zhang Zhong watched others eat. When I look at what I eat, I feel a little embarrassed to eat it. It doesn’t matter if I eat it alone. If I eat together, others will look at it.
The people in the yamen did not think like Zhang Zhong, when will the magistrate be able to eat with them? You can eat together and eat other people's food, no matter how you say it, you can't bother about it.
He Cangji is here too. The meat dishes he wants are chicken fried bamboo shoots, two vegetarian dishes, one is roasted radish sticks, and the other is fried boiled vegetables. There are no fresh vegetables at this time. There are leeks, but he didn’t have them today. Point, this is the first time I ate like this, it's a bit picky.
When he heard the county magistrate's explanation there, he said: "My lord, you can’t compare with us in your meal. What do you do in your house? One restaurant after another, you really eat like us. Doesn’t it weaken your family’s reputation? What's more, there are not many dishes for adults, only four dishes, which is also rice, although the rice is a bit different.
My lord, you can eat your food without worrying about us. One meat and two vegetables. Look, he also has dried shrimp and cucumber slices. Can cucumbers now be regarded as vegetarian dishes? The dried shrimp is also meat, adults don’t need to let us, we are content. "
When talking, He Cangji pointed to a person in charge of cleaning, and that person's vegetable dish was dried shrimps and cucumber slices.
The man also raised his head and said, "My lord, I can eat with you. Even if I eat chaff, I feel fragrant. Besides, it is such a good meal. I will remember this meal for a lifetime. Hey, I will go back with the baby Say, the magistrate invited me to eat today."
Zhang Zhong felt that this person was already taking care of him by being able to clean in the yamen, and he couldn't speak at all. If he was replaced by another county magistrate, he would be able to resign immediately, but he was comfortable listening to him and couldn't speak. The people in Zhuangzi are telling the truth, and some villagers in Zhuangzi are just like that.
Seeing that everyone was happily eating, Zhang Zhong also ate two bites of rice. "This rule will be set in the future, not just for lunch, but after finishing things in the evening. If you want to stay for food, say in advance, the cook will prepare well and it will be there in the morning. Go to the Jinlailou to eat. Those who are still watching in the middle of the night also have a meal, simpler, either fried rice, or wonton. Pickles don’t need to be made fresh, just choose whatever you like."
"My lord, is there still in the middle of the night? That's too much trouble." Cao Daobi said in surprise there.
"No trouble, there will be people who specialize in the night watch in the future. This is how I eat it. My two children will have to spend some time. It has always been like this in Sanshui County. There are snacks in the inner courtyard of Zhuangzi, you guys. Don't expect to eat it."
Zhang Zhong now treats the people in the Yamen as the people in Zhuangzi.
When everyone listened to the snacks, they laughed. What kind of snacks should you eat for such a big person.
After Zhang Zhong said a few words, he stopped talking. He bowed his head and ate it, as did the others. The fragrance of the food wafted in the yard. When everyone ate, everyone felt that this meal was the best meal in their life. pause.
"I, I ask, who, who is in charge of the recruitment?" Everyone was eating, no one was guarding outside, but a 17-year-old man came in and stood there waiting for a while, with a grunting sound in his stomach. Finally couldn't help but ask.
The people in the yamen turned their heads together and Zhang Zhong put down his chopsticks and asked, "You are from Huayuan County? What did you do before?"
The man was obviously a little scared to enter this yamen, looked around, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhang Zhong's body, his eyes changed immediately, and said, "My lord, I'm here to serve as a yamen. I'm from Huayuan County. People, did it before, do this."
As he spoke, this person moved his hand and didn't know how to do it. There was already a thin small blade in his hand.
Everyone now understands that a thief, judging from the movements of his hand, is not bad, but the servants don't know him, which means that he has never been caught.
After a copywriter who was also sitting in the crowd saw the thief's movements, his eyes lit up and he lowered his head to speed up eating.
