Chapter 22 Caterpillar Bread

Zhang Xu suddenly had an idea.

Naturally, the system would not let him collect these pearls, gold and silver.

However, he has storage space. I don't know if these things can be included in his storage space.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu touched the piece of gold with his hand, and then thought about it.

Immediately, the gold was collected into the storage space.

Zhang Xu's heart flashed with ecstasy.

Gold and silver can actually be included in the storage space.

And those Ye family members who looked at the tablets of the ancestors of the Ye family and muttered words in their mouths were suddenly stunned.

They saw that the gold enshrined to the ancestors suddenly disappeared.

Immediately, they were ecstatic.

It seems that the ancestors collected their offerings.

Ye Changqin was even more excited.

After collecting the gold, Zhang Xu collected the pearls.

These pearls, about the size of an adult's thumb, are beautiful in color and round in appearance, making them look very valuable.

Immediately, the Ye family became happier and began to kowtow vigorously.

But Zhang Xu just wanted to cover his mouth and laugh.

Ye Changqin spoke, "I don't know which ancestor took our offerings. If the ancestors need anything else, please ask for instructions. We will definitely offer more offerings."

Seeing that there was no movement, Ye Changqin spoke again, "Ancestors, my Ye family is in trouble these days, I hope my ancestors can help..."

With that said, Ye Changqin began to ramble on about things.

Indeed, it's not a new year, nor is it a day to worship ancestors. Ye Changqin brought people to the ancestral hall and used good things to worship the ancestors. Naturally, there was a reason.

After hearing Ye Changqin's words, Zhang Xu also knew that the Ye family has been in business for generations and is a wealthy family.

In this world, there is no discrimination against businessmen, and the descendants of businessmen can also enter the imperial examination.

However, the Ye family has never been involved in political affairs, only doing business.

Of course, the relationship between the Ye family and court officials, local officials, is still very close.

Recently, a new magistrate has arrived, and this magistrate is very close to the Ye family's opponent, the Wu family.

The Wu family is also a family in Yongcheng and has been doing business for generations.

The Ye family and the Wu family are feuding families.

However, the strengths of the two families are equal, and no one has the strength to annex the other, so they just fight small and then check and balance each other.

The previous magistrates were not close to the Ye family and the Wu family, nor did they have any enemies.

Balance the relationship between the two.

However, the new magistrate surnamed Xiang is very close to the Wu family.

It is said that because the prefect Xiang is a person who likes food very much, and the Wu family sent five cooks to the prefect Xiang, and also collected a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, and gave them to the prefect Xiang.

When the Ye family heard about it, they were very anxious. They also selected two cooks, collected some delicacies from mountains and seas, and sent them to the magistrate.

As a result, it did not fall well.

Because the cook sent by the Ye family did not get the prefect's favor.

And the delicacies from mountains and seas sent by the Ye family were no more exotic than those sent by the Wu family.

Therefore, seeing the behavior of the Ye family, the magistrate was not only unhappy, but also a little annoyed.

He thinks that the Ye family is not sincere and will only follow the trend.

Several businesses were taken over by the Wu family because the prefect favored the Wu family.

In the past, the Wu family and the Ye family each took half of these businesses.

The business was taken over by the Wu family. If things go on like this, there will naturally be a gap in the strength of the two families.

Therefore, the Ye family was in a hurry.

So I came to the ancestral hall and prayed to the ancestors, hoping for a miracle.

Now seeing that the enshrined things disappeared and were collected by the ancestors, I am naturally very happy.

Zhang Xu thought for a while, and took out two caterpillar breads from the storage space, and put them on the plate where the gold had been placed earlier.

This bread is definitely out of this world.

I don't know if I will get the favor of the magistrate Xiang, but I always take things from the Ye family, so I should give something back.

Everyone in the Ye family was ecstatic when they saw the caterpillar bread appearing on the plate.

This is the Ye family's ancestral hall, except for the ancestors of the Ye family, naturally there are no other people, no other ghosts.

Now there are two things that must have been given by the ancestors.

Ye Changqin got up, picked up the bread, looked left and right, knew it was a rare item, but didn't know what it was.

A Ye family boy next to him said, "This thing is really rare. It seems that the outside is the packaging, and the inside should be edible."

Ye Changqin nodded, took one of the caterpillar breads, tore off the plastic wrapping, and took out the bread.

After thinking about it, Ye Changqin tore off a piece of bread and took a bite.

Immediately, Ye Changqin's eyes showed surprise: This food is too delicious.It is soft and has a very good taste, not to mention, it tastes sweet in the mouth, with a milky and eggy aroma.

Then, Ye Changqin tore off another piece and put it in his mouth.

The other Ye family members all stared at it and wanted to taste a piece very much.

Ye Changqin came back to his senses and tore off a small piece for everyone, "Try it too."

"It's delicious, Patriarch, as long as you give this item to the prefect, it will definitely make the prefect happy."

"It's delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious."

"This must be something that only immortals can eat. It's more delicious than any delicacies from mountains and seas."

Ye Changqin nodded again and again.

A few big men fought over each other and ate up a caterpillar bread in a short time.

After eating, he looked at the other caterpillar bread with a salivating expression.

Ye Changqin spoke, "Our ancestors gave us this thing to get us through the family crisis. The remaining ones are now given to the magistrate."

"Chang Li, Chang Fen, you two will follow me to see the magistrate."

The two men nodded.

The group of three asked someone to prepare a carriage and prepared to go to the magistrate's mansion.

Zhang Xu was curious and followed him.

When they arrived at the magistrate's mansion, the three of them handed over the post.

Although Xiang Zhifu didn't like the Ye family, he still received the three members of the Ye family.

Ye Changqin held the box containing caterpillar bread, and brought Ye Changli and Ye Changfen to meet the magistrate.

Yes, although the packaging on the outside of the caterpillar bread was pretty, Ye Changqin still found a box to put the caterpillar bread in.

It looks like this, be more serious.

Xiang Zhifu's expression was flat, "You three brothers from the Ye family, what do you want to see me for?"

Ye Changqin had a smile on his face, "Master Zhifu, the ancestors of our Ye family have manifested their spirits, and they have given us delicious food. We dare not enjoy it exclusively. We will dedicate it to the Lord Prefect, please let him taste it."

With that said, Ye Changqin opened the box, revealing the caterpillar bread inside.

When Xiang Zhifu saw what was in the box, he was surprised.

What is this?It looks so interesting, the outer packaging is still transparent, I don't know what material it is.

The prefect has also eaten a lot of delicious food, but he has never seen anything like this.

The prefect picked up the caterpillar bread, "How should I eat this?"

Ye Changqin took a step forward and tore open the transparent plastic packaging outside, "Master Zhifu, please, this thing inside is edible."

The magistrate took a small bite, and his eyes widened immediately.
