Lingshui Village, old Xu's family.
Mr. Xu was sitting across from Zuo Qiu, the county magistrate who had come from afar, with a bowl of tea in front of each other.
"Dad, Master Zuo, the food is here, eat it!"
Xu Laoer came from the kitchen with a dish in hand.
In the kitchen, Mr. Xu has the important task of being the chef.
The reason why Zuoqiu was treated so grandly was because he brought good news.
Prince Yan's family had left Anshun County yesterday and continued to the temple in the south to fulfill their vows.
Mr. Xu was overjoyed when he heard the news of King Yan's departure. With an old fox like King Yan always thinking about his precious daughter, Mr. Xu's heart has never been at ease.
Zuoqiu brought such good news, Mr. Xu was naturally very happy.
There's a fly in the ointment, he can't drink now, he's been banned by Mrs. Xu, three months!
"Brother Xu, I have to thank you!"
Zuoqiu didn't just come to talk about things, he came to express his gratitude.
"Master Zuo, what do you want to thank me for?"
Mr. Xu was a little puzzled.
"Thank you for showing mercy!"
Zuoqiu smiled and said, "That day, I saw clearly that if you hadn't been injured intentionally, brother, King Yan would have been injured. If King Yan had been injured, I would have been in trouble!"
"What happened!"
It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Xu to admit this, "It's because King Yan is superior in skills. Mr. Zuo, you must not talk nonsense!"
Zuoqiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded fiercely as if he had understood everything, and said: "Yes, yes, that's the truth, haha, yes, yes, Brother Xu, you see clearly!"
Mr. Xu looked at Zuoqiu and thought wrong again, and didn't bother to explain to him. Anyway, as long as the purpose was achieved.
"Brother, shall we have tea now?"
Looking at the dishes on the table and the big bowl of tea in front of him, Zuoqiu felt a little nostalgic for the old wine from the old Xu family that he had drunk before.
"Master Zuo, please forgive me. I slipped my waist and was injured, so I can't drink. It would be unjust to let you drink alone and get drunk!"
“…”
Hearing Mr. Xu's explanation, Zuo Qiu wanted to say, "No, no matter how dishonest you are, I'm not afraid of drinking alone or getting drunk."
But Zuoqiu is a shameless person, so he can't act like he's greedy for wine!
Therefore, the two of them could only have tea instead of wine.
Well, drink tea from a big bowl and eat vegetables with big mouthfuls.
That’s right, it’s food!
Although Boss Xu is a chef in the kitchen, there is no meat at home, so he can only eat vegetables.
Fortunately, Boss Xu has really learned a few tricks in the restaurant these days, and the dishes he makes are really not bad.
For example, this scrambled egg with leeks, scrambled egg with chopped green onion, scrambled egg with fungus, scrambled egg with spinach, egg drop soup...
A series, all of which are eggs of various kinds.
This meal can be called a whole-egg feast.
The reason why there are so many eggs is because the babies at home need to be fed. Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Li and the nannies all need various eggs in every meal.
For this reason, the old Xu family collected eggs exclusively at the Xu family restaurant.
When Fu Bao and her nephews and nieces can eat in a few months, the demand for eggs will probably be even greater.
"Brother Xu, your life is not bad!"
"You raise a lot of chickens and ducks at home, right?"
After finishing the whole egg feast, Zuoqiu was very satisfied.
Although he is a county magistrate, this salary is really not enough for him to provide good food.
When you are an official, if you are a corrupt official, your life will be extremely smooth.
But Zuoqiu was an honest official and very pragmatic, so his life was naturally relatively tight. He couldn't eat a whole-egg feast like this twice a year. (End of chapter)
