Chapter 22 Eating together in one courtyard

Zhan Lord Bo was angry, and when he asked just now, he said no, but now he actually took it out and gave it away, when his lord Bo and the county were not there?

Xiao Xiancheng also pointed to the shallots mixed with tofu on the table at this time and said, "Why is this tofu a little sour?" And bamboo shoots,."

"Zhan Zhubo said that this pickled sheep face, it was really not just now, someone sent it again, if you want to eat, I will go and get it for you, Xiao Xiancheng, it's not tofu sour, it's soy sauce sour, it's sour sauce, you can get used to it, that bamboo shoot is an elder, not me to make an old."

The shopkeeper said unhurriedly, in fact, he deliberately, his family's tax has been paid for two years, like the tax on setting up a stall to sell things is collected on a daily basis, and such a small shop is collected on a monthly basis, so he is afraid that he will not be able to pay the money.

In the past, he didn't dare to treat the lord Bo and the county like this, but now he dares, and after changing the county order, everything is different.

Xiao Xiancheng and Zhan Zhubo also saw the thoughts of this shopkeeper, they were all uploaded this morning, and the people of a new county might not dare to treat them like this, but Zhang Zhong's county order is different, and the champion is needless to say, he is still the head of Zhangjia Zhuangzi in Sanshui County, and he is accompanied by twenty palace guards.

Comparing the two sides, the two of them are naturally much worse, of course the people are not afraid, the unfounded lord Bo and the county still want to fight with the master of Zhangjia Zhuangzi?

Two people can't explain this matter to the people, it's not that you have a foundation and you're powerful, sometimes small officials can pull down big officials, and the people don't understand this, they only look at their respective forces and identities.

"Forget it, change it." Zhan Zhubo stood up depressedly, threw down his chopsticks and wanted to go outside.

"Master Zhan, you haven't paid for the meal yet." The shopkeeper quit, and shouted loudly over there, and everyone who ate looked at these two officials who were not welcome.

Xiao Xiancheng was more steady, took out the money, counted out fifteen wen according to the price of the wine and food, put it on the table, and did not speak, and pulled Zhan Zhubo when he walked past him.

Seeing the two of them go out, the shopkeeper cleaned up the table with a smile, and muttered, "Collect my taxes for two years, and now the sky has changed." ”

"Brother Yong, did you just let go of that shopkeeper? He clearly did this on purpose, bullying the two of us? Sitting in the car, Zhan Zhubo complained.

"What else do you want to do? Bring the lawsuit to Zhang Zhong? Or do you want the officials to come and arrest people? The former one is a humiliation for ourselves, and the latter one, do you think there are still servants who listen to us? I knew that I wasn't so good to them at the beginning, but now they are like people, and they have done bad things before. ”

Xiao Xiancheng also felt aggrieved, if Zhang Zhong didn't rely on his reputation in Sanshui County, how could he let the people of Huayuan County become like this in just a few days?

There are also those officials, they don't want their faces anymore, didn't they just give something and take care of a meal, but they were actually bought, I knew that I would not keep such a servant in the first place, and left those who could do things and the upright servants, I don't believe that he Zhang Zhong can still use that little thing to buy the past.

Zhan Zhubo also thought so, and took a few breaths in a row, which made him feel better, and said: "Bear with me, it's easy to wait for the money to arrive, those people's ginseng hasn't been sent yet?" ”

"How can it be so easy to find, 100-year-old ginseng, is it said that there is one? The palace may not be able to take it out if you want to, go home and eat, it seems that you can't eat good things outside, and they don't know if they are afraid of the taxes they collected at the beginning. ”

Xiao Xiancheng was still hungry, he only ate two bites just now, and he was still uncomfortable, so he decided to go home to eat.

The cars of the two people turned to their homes, and all the people who saw their cars would mumble a few words, and then take a sip, who let them not be the county order, with the support of the new county order, the people's courage also increased.

Naturally, the officials in the yamen don't have to go home for dinner, there is no money in the account, but Zhang Zhong is rich, and he didn't take them to Jinlai Lou to eat at noon.

There are also cooks among the people who came, and the lunch meal was made by the cook, and then a few of them could be started, the cook fried nine dishes in a big pot, three meat and six vegetables, and an egg drop soup, the staple food is steamed bread and rice, each person in the yamen can choose one meat and two vegetables, pick their own, the dishes are those, and the rice is unlimited.

This is the lunch box sold by Zhang Xiaobao, but there are more styles of lunch boxes, and there are fewer styles here, even so, no one in the yamen said that they were unwilling, if they don't eat in the yamen, what can they eat when they go home?

The people in the yamen first selected themselves, and the rest were sent to the people who worked, and then some were fried if they were not enough, and Zhangjia Zhuangzi now had a lot of pork in stock, which was frozen, and let people send a cart to eat it for several days.

Zhang Zhong also eats with the people in the yamen, as long as he doesn't work, he looks kind, and when he works, he does what he should do, the only difference is that the dishes he eats are better than others, two meat, two vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of soup will also put some mushrooms or fungus.

This recipe is not set by him, and he can't help it, the son and daughter-in-law set a special recipe for the family according to the season, saying what is the nutritional match, I don't understand what it means, anyway, the son and daughter-in-law let the dishes not be eaten, and it is a skewer exchange, there is no duplicate within ten days, and after the meal, you have to eat a specially prepared fruit plate.

"Everyone will try this, the food sent here from Jinlai Building, there is no way, I don't let me eat other things, and the things I eat every day have been set on the first day."

Zhang Zhong said to those people in the yamen, here are not only some people like swordsmen and pens, but also officials and miscellaneous people, everyone is squatting or sitting in the courtyard to eat, Zhang Zhong looks at what others eat, and then looks at what he eats, and feels a little embarrassed to eat, it doesn't matter if he eats alone, if you get together to eat, others will also look at it.

The people in the yamen didn't think like Zhang Zhong, when will the county magistrate be able to eat with them? can eat together, and still eat other people's, no matter how you say it, you can't find fault.

He Cangji is also here, the meat dish he wants is fried bamboo shoots with chicken, two vegetarian dishes, one is roasted radish strips, and the other is fried dried cabbage, there are no fresh vegetables at this time, leeks have, he didn't order it today, the first time he ate it like this, it was a bit picky.

When he heard the county magistrate explain there, he said, "My lord, you can't compare your meals with us, what are you doing at home?" Restaurants one 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, and it is also rice, although the rice is a little different.

Adult, you can eat yours with peace of mind, don't worry about us, one meat and two vegetables, you see, he also has a shrimp and cucumber slices over there, can the current cucumber be regarded as a vegetarian dish? The dried shrimp is also meat, adults don't need to let us, we are content. ”

As he spoke, He Cangji pointed to a person in charge of cleaning, and the vegetarian dish he chose was dried shrimp and cucumber slices.

The man also raised his head at this time and said: "My lord, if you can let me eat with you, even if you eat bran, I also feel fragrant, not to mention such a good thing, this meal, I will remember it for a lifetime, hehe, go back and tell the baby, the county magistrate invited me to eat today." ”

Zhang Zhong felt that this person could clean up in the yamen and already take care of him, and he couldn't speak at all, and when he heard it from another county order, he could resign from him immediately, but he was comfortable listening to it, and those who couldn't speak were telling the truth, and some Zhuang households on Zhuangzi were like this.

Seeing that everyone was happy to eat, Zhang Zhong also ate two bites of rice, "After this rule was set, not only for lunch, but after finishing things in the evening, if you want to stay and eat, say in advance, the chef is well prepared, in the morning is to go to Jinlai Lou to eat, and the people who are still guarding in the middle of the night also have a meal, simple, or fried rice, or wontons, pickles do not need to be made, just choose." ”

"My lord, is there still one in the middle of the night? That's just too much trouble. Cao Daobi said in surprise there.

"Don't bother, there will be special vigils in the future, for you to eat like this, my two babies will have to pay some trouble, Sanshui County has always been like this, there are snacks in the inner courtyard of Zhuangzi, don't expect to eat."

Zhang Zhong now treats the people in the yamen as if they were people in the Zhuangzi.

Everyone listened to the snacks and laughed, such a big person, what snacks to eat.

Zhang Zhong said two words and said no more, he bowed his head and ate there, and the same did for the others, the fragrance of the meal wafted in the courtyard, and everyone felt that this meal was the best meal in their lives when they ate it.

"I, let me ask, who, who is in charge of recruiting officials?" Everyone was eating, and there was no one to guard outside, but a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man came in, stood there and waited for a while, his stomach rumbled, and finally he couldn't help but ask.

The people in the yamen turned their heads to look together, Zhang Zhong put down his chopsticks and asked, "Are you 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 immediately changed, and said: "My lord, I will be a government officer, I am from Huayuan County, I used to do this." ”

As he spoke, the man's hand moved, and he didn't know how to get it, and there was already a thin blade in his hand.

Everyone now understood that a thief, judging from the movements of his hand, was not bad, and the officials did not know him, indicating that he had never been caught.

A copywriter who was also sitting in the crowd saw the thief's movements, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and sped up eating.
