Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 289 The Confident Chef

So the magistrate left the carriage and escort at this place.

"If His Royal Highness the King of Shu has nothing to do, I will go back first. If you have anything to do, you can come to me at any time, and I will definitely do my best."

The county magistrate of Suzhou said and looked in Li Ke's direction.

Because he has been staying here with Li Ke for a long time, and if he continues to stay here, he may delay his official business.

After all, he was not so comfortable as the county magistrate of Suzhou. There were too many things going on in Suzhou recently, and he was still very busy. If it wasn't for Li Ke's coming, he would never have come out.

Naturally, Li Ke wouldn't keep him here for too long. He also knew that the other party was busy, so he nodded.

"Excuse me, my lord. I don't have anything to do here. If I have something to do, I will go to the government office to find my lord."

Of course, Li Ke was being polite when he said this. If anything really happened, he had to rely on his own people. He came here just to say hello to the county magistrate of Suzhou.

The only thing that he didn't expect was that the county magistrate of Suzhou cared so much about him, and even arranged a place for him. He probably had been paying attention to his movements for a long time, and came over as soon as he came.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep the time so accurate.

The Suzhou County Magistrate immediately took his people away after hearing what Li Ke said.

"That county magistrate obviously has something to do, and he did it just to please His Highness?"

Chou Nuer's character is relatively straightforward, he didn't like the county magistrate very much from the beginning, so he said it after the county magistrate left.

When the county magistrate was there, he naturally couldn't say much. After all, he still had to give him face. Even Li Ke didn't say anything?He is really not suitable as a servant.

But now there are no outsiders, and it is understandable for him and Li Ke to talk here.

Li Ke just smiled.

"You and I both understand this matter. Now that we are in his territory, naturally we can't say much, but all he wants to do is to ask me for a favor. It's not a big deal."

"That's true, but I still don't like such people very much. Can't I just say something directly? I have to beat around the bush and attack scheming."

The ugly slave doesn't like such people.

Xiangling listened for a long time, and finally understood something. He also hates that kind of people, but his current focus is not on this.

He walked around the house just now, and finally found the kitchen. As expected, this place was specially arranged by the county magistrate of Suzhou. Everything in the kitchen is readily available.

There are even fresh sea bass in the bucket, which should have been brought in this morning. It seems that the county magistrate has put a little thought into it.

"Don't worry about it so much, how about I cook for everyone? I see that there are still a lot of ingredients in the kitchen."

Xiangling said excitedly.

Li Ke had not eaten anything else made by Xiangling since the last time he had snacks made by Xiangling, so he was curious at the time.

Chou Nuer has eaten a little more than Li Ke, because when Li Ke was away, Xiangling would give him those foods to try. He was originally picky, but like, what you made is still very good.

"Of course, but you have to be careful when cooking."

Li Ke nodded and did not object.

He knew that Xiangling liked to cook, so he offered to help everyone cook. He also brought a cook along with the army, but since Xiangling likes it, it's okay to let him do it.

What's more, they don't need to be responsible for the meals of their soldiers. The three meals a day of those soldiers are arranged by the Suzhou county magistrate, so the only ones who eat are Li Kechou and Xiangling.

Su Dingfang went with the army, and usually stayed with those soldiers instead of living with them. There was no Shu army on their side, but the guards arranged by the county magistrate of Suzhou.

Li Ke trusted these guards very much.

"Then I'll do it!"

Seeing that Li Ke agreed, Xiangling immediately got into the kitchen, and when Xiangling was about to cook, a person appeared outside the door, and saw Xiangling suddenly froze in the kitchen.

"Excuse me?"

"My name is Xiangling, and I come here to cook."

Xiangling didn't have any hostility towards this stranger, because this person was dressed as a cook and should be in charge of the kitchen.

"How come I didn't hear that apart from me, what other cooks did you find here?"

The other party looked Xiangling up and down, and found that this person was very ordinary, and he didn't look like a qualified cook, probably just to make up the number.

So he didn't have such respect, but walked into the kitchen swaggeringly.

"Now Master Ling specially asked me to come here to cook for His Highness the King of Shu, so you can help me."

The man looked down at Xiang Ling, and finally said such a sentence, Xiang Ling was a little confused by what the man said.

He didn't know what county magistrate sent someone over, all he wanted to do now was to cook for Chou Nuer and Li Ke himself.

But now this person means that he does not want to cook in the kitchen, but assists him in cooking. If this is the case, Xiangling will naturally object.

So he immediately refused.

"That can't be done, I have already promised to cook for His Highness, how could I let you come?"

Xiangling said.

The other party couldn't help laughing when they heard you say that.

"I have never seen you brag so well, and you even agreed to cook for His Highness the King of Shu. Do you know who His Highness the King of Shu is? Have you met His Highness the King of Shu? How could someone like that be pursued by His Highness? Talk to someone like you?"

The other party's words were full of contempt. Xiang Ling didn't like the person in front of him very much, but he was also unwilling to argue with him.

His mother had also told him before that he had to get along with others peacefully. If he fought with others, he might be the one who was unlucky in the end.

Xiangling always listened to her mother when she came down, so she didn't plan to say anything more to him, but started cooking on her own.

When the other party saw that someone like Xiang Ling was being ignored, he was naturally very angry, so he took the kitchen knife and stabbed it hard on the chopping board.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you ignore me like this! Are all the little girls so unruly now? Didn't your lord tell you before you came?"

Seeing that the other party was angry, Xiangling also stopped, and then looked at him with a confused face.

"Are you talking about the county magistrate? He didn't say anything to me, and he didn't say that I couldn't use the kitchen here. Since the kitchen is here, I should be allowed to use it, right? Besides, I also got Shu His Highness the King agreed."
