The most powerful minister in the world

"Waiter, serve the wine~"

"Here you are~" The waiter walked through the crowd of diners and walked around to Jingxi's table. He put the towel on his arm on his shoulders and said with a smile: "You two gentlemen, don't look at our stall on the roadside. , there are only fifty tables, but we have all the wines you can order, what would you two like to drink?"

Jingxi came to no other place than the roadside stall that made Liang'er angry. This stall was in an excellent location. Three miles outside the city gate, there was a 35-meter-long cloth propped up next to the bluestone road on the left side of the crossroad. shed stall.

It’s not even dinner time yet, but the seats are already full. In addition to many traveling businessmen, there are also many richly dressed young men who are busy tasting the dishes. They seem to no longer care about the appearance of the food or the elegance of their words. They have rice in their hands. It was bowl after bowl.

"When you come here to Dancheng, of course you want to drink pear blossom wine. I want two jars of the best, plus four cold dishes and three hard dishes. That's it. If there's not enough, I'll order more."

The waiter wearing a round hat laughed and said: "You two gentlemen, the best pear wine here costs five taels of silver a jar. Look at the clothes you two dress and the food you eat must be the best."

"Hey~ What do you mean, are you afraid that I have no money?"

"No, no, no, how could it be? What I mean is...our eldest sister said that the young master always gives money first and then serves the food."

Jingxi saw that there were many short-legged boatmen and horsemen in tattered clothes eating here. Based on this, how could they afford to eat here?

Seeming to sense Jingxi's doubts, the waiter felt that although he was imposing, his brows were full of righteousness, so he bent down and whispered: "Sir, you are not a local, you may not know the rules of my eldest sister. .”

"Tell me about it?" Jingxi squinted his eyes and touched the jadeite fingers with a smile.

The waiter looked around and said: "My eldest sister said that if poor people come here to eat, if they look kind and speak well, all the drinks, food and drinks will be charged at the food stall. But if a young man like you comes, then You just have to give him a good beating."

"Hehehe~ You and I are not afraid that I will turn around and leave?"

The waiter poured a bowl of water for Jingxi and said with a smile: "In our line of work, we have to be very observant and have someone in our eyes, right? As soon as you came in, I knew you were not here just for the food. Besides, , it’s not like there aren’t rich kids who turn around and leave because they think it’s expensive, have you seen that one?”

Jingxi looked in the direction pointed by the waiter and saw a young man in a purple slanted collar and gold and silver holding a roast chicken and munching on it.

"That person thought it was too expensive after the first meal. He didn't come for three to five days. In the end, he didn't eat here every day?"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's serve food to the bar."

"Okay, come right now."

In less than two cups of tea, all the dishes were served. Jingxi drank three bowls of pear wine to appetize, then picked up a piece of spicy chicken and chewed it.

"Yeah! That's good!"

Liu Huangying was already eager to try it. She picked up the braised pork and breathed out the hot air in her mouth: "It's fat but not greasy. It's fragrant. It's delicious!"

"Waiter, some bowls of rice!"

"Okay~"

Liu Huangying was holding the white rice, her mouth full of oil, and said hummingly: "Master Jing, this cook is great at cooking. Even if she is not hired in the camp, it would be good to be hired as a private chef in the yard!"

"It can't be that easy. Lian'er is so friendly and yet she poured hot water on her. Let's not get into trouble first."

"Ah, Mr. Jing, I thought if she didn't agree, you would find someone to kidnap her and take her to the camp."

Hearing this, Jingxi tapped his hand with her chopsticks, rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of image do I have in your eyes?"

"Hehe, tall and mighty, graceful, with jade trees facing the wind..."

"Okay, okay, let's eat what you have, waiter, come here, I have something to ask you."

The waiter came over with a kettle, wiped his hands and said with a smile, "What's wrong, sir?"

Jing Xi didn't say anything at first, but took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to him. He thanked him unambiguously and put it in his sleeve, waiting for Jing Xi to ask questions.

"I heard yesterday that your shopkeeper kicked out a girl?"

The waiter rolled his eyes and rubbed his hands: "Hey, are you talking about the person from the government who asked my eldest sister to cook in the camp?"

"Then I don't know. Tell me what's going on?"

"It doesn't matter if I tell you about this. Everyone from all over the country knows that my eldest sister also did it in the camp, but a general in that camp was greedy for my eldest sister's beauty and wanted to dominate him. But I didn’t expect that my eldest sister was also talented. Guess what, the general accidentally killed his queen. The general was so angry that he took revenge on my eldest sister and burned down the restaurant that was passed down by the family. So the eldest sister hated it. Government."

"Your eldest sister has no background, so the general is going to do this?"

"Of course not, but with the help of noble people, the magistrate of Meiyang County can make peace with him."

Jingxi sounded familiar, and Liu Huangying interrupted: "That's the prefect you want to see." After hearing what he said, Jingxi remembered that when he checked the account books of various counties and cities that day, only the one from Meiyang County could Yes, looking at it this way, this man is really a strange person.

"A magistrate who is not related to your eldest sister dares to fight a general with soldiers?"

Just when Xiao'er was about to explain with excitement, he was called away by diners from other tables. Jingxi drank wine, chewed the food in his mouth non-stop, took a chopstick to grill the fish, and frowned suddenly. When Liu Huangying saw this, she asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Jing, this fish is not fresh?" He picked up a pair of chopsticks and said, "No, it's full of color and flavor, and there's no weird smell."

Liu Huangying wanted to eat more, but Jingxi grabbed it with chopsticks and said, "Don't move this fish, keep it."

Seeing his strange expression, Liu Huangying said "oh" and picked up the rice again.

After finishing the meal and ordering some food to take away, Jingxi said to the waiter: "Next time you come, come to the same table and don't change the wine."

"Okay, you two walk slowly."

The waiter was humming a little tune and clearing the table. He suddenly saw the grilled fish on the table and dropped it on the table after only using a few chopsticks. He was shocked. There was no leftover food like this from the meal cooked by their eldest sister.

"Hey~ Is it possible that I don't like fish? No, I drank all the fish soup. It's really strange."

"Waiter, hurry up, I'll bring you two more plates of beef with sauce and a stack of peanuts, fried!"

"Here you are~"

On Huangcheng Mountain, officers and soldiers gathered around and shouted. Among the crowd, an officer and soldier holding a simple sword was waving a sharp weapon in his hand and rushed towards Li Dongyang, who had his hands in his sleeves. The simple sword was level with the person, and he chopped down the person. Despite the wind, Li Dongyang stood motionless. He had given this man ten moves, and this one move could determine the outcome.

Li Dongyang gently raised his left hand and easily grasped the knife with two fingers. With a sudden tug, the knife flew out of his hand and disappeared into a tree trunk not far away.

"You, report over there and level up."

Everyone who had some skills couldn't hold back anymore. They started to attack one after another. Some were defeated with five moves, and some were defeated with just one move. It was not awkward to lose. In the past few days, they had seen this man wearing a Taoist robe. The man in the long robe and carrying the sword on his back is so powerful, yet no one has forced him to use both hands to draw the sword out of its sheath, let alone.

Outside the circle of people, a tall, broad-shouldered soldier sat on a granite with a protruding soil. He was chewing a chicken leg in his hand. From a distance, his figure looked like a hill.

The person next to him suddenly kicked him and said, "Li Xiong'er, why don't you try it if you have the strength?"

"Don't worry about him, you don't know, he is just a fool, he has trouble talking, hahaha~"

Faced with the cynicism of his colleagues, the soldier named Li Xiong'er did not show any displeasure. Instead, he happily wiped his nose and continued to eat the chicken drumsticks. Even if the mucus flowed to the top, he did not dislike it.
