Du Qingchen went to the back kitchen to make food for Magistrate Feng and Mrs. Liu, and they came here many times, so Du Qingchen had already figured out their tastes. Magistrate Feng's favorite was braised pork and braised pig's feet. , while Liu Fuzi prefers vegetarian dishes, and prefers slightly spicy vegetarian dishes such as mashed garlic eggplant and dry-stir-fried beans. Du Qingchen can naturally prepare these for the two of them.

In the lobby, County Magistrate Feng had already taken a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and sighed: "The fragrance is delicious, it melts in your mouth, it's fat but not greasy, Qingchen's dish is really delicious. It's gone!"

Although Mrs. Liu prefers vegetarian dishes relatively, as a foodie, he also eats meat. He also likes braised pork very much, so he picked up a chopstick and praised: "Soft and tender, sweet and soft, this Braised pork in soy sauce can be said to be Qing Chen's specialty."

"Oh? How is it compared to your favorite garlic eggplant?" County Magistrate Feng asked.

"Of course the eggplant with mashed garlic is better!" Master Liu said proudly.

Let's do it!Magistrate Feng chuckled and didn't refute him. People have different tastes. He thinks braised pork is the best, and Mrs. Liu thinks Du Qingchen's garlic eggplant is the best. Anyway, no one can convince anyone, so he doesn't bother.

"Garlic mashed eggplants are here, master take it easy." Soon, Du Qingchen came over with a plate and placed it on County Magistrate Feng's table. The two of them each had their favorite dishes. However, the extremely delicious posture still attracted others to swallow their saliva.

The man in brocade robe listened to the two people's words and saw the two people's delicious food, feeling a little depressed in his heart. He turned his head and looked at his table, but he did not see these two dishes!If it is like what those two people said, the owner of this shop is best at braised pork, garlic and eggplant, why is there no such thing on his table?Didn't he say that the boss is good at cooking? !Thinking of this, the man in brocade robe turned cold. Seeing that Du Qingchen was about to leave, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Boss, why are there no eggplants with mashed garlic on my table? Isn't this your specialty?" Braised pork will not be mentioned, After all, I just didn't want it.

Du Qingchen was taken aback, because he wasn't there just now, but after hearing what the man said, he could guess what happened just now. Mrs. Liu and County Magistrate Feng also said that eggplant with mashed garlic is his specialty!Du Qingchen smiled and cupped his hands, "Guest officer misunderstood, my special dish is already on your table! If you are talking about eggplant with mashed garlic, it is the master's approval. In fact, the method is very simple, and it is not a good one."

The man stopped talking.

Du Qingchen said again: "Why don't you wait a moment and I'll serve you another one?"

The man waved his hand and let him go down.

County Magistrate Feng became dissatisfied. Du Qingchen was the one he was covering. This is Pingxing County, which was his territory. How could Du Qingchen be embarrassed in front of him, and the reason was because of their chat. Looking at the man, he said: "Mr. Why do you have to embarrass the boss because of the content of our chat? The so-called good or bad, everyone has different tastes. Naturally, I think the best dishes cooked by the boss are different. I think the boss's braised pork is good. Mr. Liu I think the boss's mashed garlic eggplant is good, but the boss himself doesn't think so! Qingchen, why don't you tell me, what dish do you think you are best at?"

Du Qingchen smiled and cupped his hands, "Actually, I'm not good at anything. My cooking skills are mediocre, but if you talk about the pleasing dishes, it's probably braised pork and boiled fish!"

As for the braised pork, he served it to the man, but he didn't want it himself. As for the boiled fish, it's on the other's table right now, and he hasn't touched a chopstick yet.

The man laughed lightly when he heard this, "If that's the case, then it's my fault?"

Du Qingchen could hear the coldness in the man's words, and even a little unconscious threat, which is probably a common problem of the superiors.Du Qingchen sighed, and wanted to continue to be vague, when he heard County Magistrate Feng say, "Of course it's your fault!"

"Bold!" The servant stood up beside the man.

County magistrate Feng straightened his stomach, put one hand behind his back, and stood up proudly, and Master Liu also stood up. The two of them, one is the local county magistrate, and the other is a close friend of Tao Taishou. They live in the territory of Pingxing County In fact, they were really not afraid of anyone. Of course, they also saw that this guest came from a wealthy family, but no matter how rich they were, they had to give them some kindness.

Mr. Liu said: "Bold? I think you are the most courageous! Do you know who the person in front of you is? This is the magistrate of this county!" Don't think that magistrate Feng is just an old man from the countryside when he wears ordinary clothes, and then bullies him. His apprentice!Mrs. Liu is most annoyed when someone pulls an official tone in front of him, and the person in front of him always unconsciously shows the feeling of being superior to others.

County magistrate Feng's belly grew taller when he heard the words, and he sighed pretendingly: "I have always cared for the people, and I can't bear others to bully the people under my rule. I think you are also of extraordinary background, so why use your power to bully others and let your servants threaten the people?" What about the common people? If this official is not here today, what are you going to do? Are you planning to hurt the three present?!"

Du Qingchen was taken aback, and before he had time to intervene, County Magistrate Feng had already revealed his identity, but he was also displeased with the word 'bold' from his servant just now, so he just waited and watched.

The brocade robed man chuckled, turned his eyes to the servant beside him, and exchanged a glance with him, the servant immediately took out the token from his bosom, and held it up to County Magistrate Feng, who was old and had to get closer to see it clearly. , County Magistrate Feng's face changed slightly, and he could no longer show his official dignity, bowed his hands and bowed in salute, "Feng Zishi has seen the imperial envoy."

"Your Majesty Feng is too polite. It's my fault. I shouldn't have allowed my servants to threaten the common people." The man sat firmly and smiled lightly.

Du Qingchen looked at the man blankly, unexpectedly he was an imperial envoy, so young, he must be from some famous family!It's no wonder that there is a bit of arrogance in his demeanor and actions.

Master Liu still snorted coldly, he has always been fearless of anyone, so what about the imperial envoys, he should not give face, or not.

Du Qingchen stepped forward and bowed his hands, "Xiaomin has seen the imperial envoy, and I ask the imperial envoy to forgive me."

The man waved his hand, "Forget it, it was a misunderstanding." Then he turned to the servant and said, "Gao Han, make trouble out of nothing and make your own decisions. Go back and receive the punishment!"

"Yes." Hearing the words, the servant named Gao Han seemed to have thought of some terrible experience, froze slightly, but still bowed to answer.

Seeing that the man really didn't intend to pursue the matter, County Magistrate Feng also heaved a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Liu also sat back with a bad expression on his face, but the man said, "Since we met Lord Feng by coincidence, why don't we sit down and talk about this year's drought?"

County magistrate Feng secretly complained, the worst affected were several other counties, and it was not their Pingxing County that reported the disaster. They were only the periphery of the disaster, and the impact was not great. The people are also well and don't need relief. Did an imperial envoy visit him privately?Now I have to talk to him, what is there to talk about!He is not the county magistrate of those disaster-stricken places, can he still talk about whether those people are responsible or not, whether they are diligent or not?They are all colleagues, that's what he can say!

But the imperial envoys had their orders, and they had no choice but to obey them. Magistrate Feng fought with them at the table, and even Mrs. Liu couldn't get away for a while. Du Qingchen helped prepare new bowls and chopsticks, and placed them on the man's table. He said again: "I'll go and prepare some meals for the two adults."

"Go on your own!" Master Liu waved his hands repeatedly, fearing that Du Qingchen would have to stay like him and be humiliated.

"Yes." Du Qingchen saluted Master Liu solemnly.

"My surname is Shao, Master Feng doesn't need to have one imperial envoy at a time." The man laughed.

"Master Shao." County magistrate Feng was kind.

Du Qingchen didn't stop, and entered the backyard. Du Qingchen didn't go directly to the kitchen, but went to find Du Rulin. Inside, the doctor hadn't left yet, but was writing a prescription. As soon as Du Qingchen entered, he said, "Doctor, please come here first." Wait for a while, County Magistrate Feng and the Imperial Envoy are talking outside, so go out now to avoid disturbing them."

"Imperial envoy?" Du Rulin was taken aback, Su Dong and the doctor were also at a loss.

"Yes, it's an imperial envoy for relief. He probably passed by here and was going to a place that was seriously affected by the disaster. It turned out that by coincidence, he ran into County Magistrate Feng and was holding Magistrate Feng to inquire about the drought situation!" Du Qingchen smiled wryly, and he was in the lobby all the time , so it can be seen clearly.

Du Rulin thought for a while, then asked, "Is that the young master just now?"

Du Qingchen nodded.

"I just said that he is dressed in luxurious clothes, and he is not much inferior to the young master of the Tao family. His family background must be extraordinary." Du Rulin murmured.

"By the way, do you know whose family name is Shao?" Du Qingchen asked hopelessly. After all, he didn't think Du Rulin knew much about the aristocratic families in the capital.

"If it's a famous family in Beijing, the family of the rich and powerful, then it's the fifth prince's concubine's natal family. If it's his family, it's normal for a young imperial envoy to come out." Du Rulin replied. The imperial envoys must rely on the shelter of the family, but the scope is not very large, so you can tell when you think about it.

Du Qingchen was taken aback, "Fifth prince?" He remembered that when he was listening to this book, he vaguely remembered the existence of this person, and he still remembered in the book that this person later...

"Yes!" Du Rulin said, "What's wrong?"

"No!" Du Qingchen shook his head repeatedly, suppressed his thoughts, and said, "Let's go, let's cook."

Du Qingchen was busy in the kitchen for a while before bringing hot dishes up. In the lobby, Shao Qing asked, County Magistrate Feng answered, and Master Liu didn't say a word.

"The lower official came today to pray for rain in the county. In previous years, if there was a drought, the county would unite with the squires to set up an altar to pray for rain. Today, the lower official came to discuss the matter with the owner of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant looked young. In fact, he is the head of the county gentry..."

Du Qingchen: ...

It's none of his business!It wasn't that he encouraged Su Junxia to buy food with the Qiu family before, and others really listened to him, okay!Su Junxia listened to him, but the Qiu family, the Qiu family was not slippery. They were just afraid of taking responsibility, so they didn't want to stand out. It wasn't that the county gentry took him as the leader!

Du Qingchen was thinking about it, but County Magistrate Feng said again: "It was Boss Du before. He saw that the drought was approaching, and he was afraid that the villagers would be affected by the disaster and be displaced in the future, so he took the lead and led the squires in the county to buy grain and store it at home for emergencies. If the sky does not bless you, and Pingxing County is really hit by a disaster, he and other gentry will open a warehouse to release grain and help the villagers."

Du Qingchen:! !

Master Feng, you are enough!Don't tell him this kind of thing!It will attract hungry wolves!

Shao Qing was listening casually, wanting to understand what he wanted to know, when he heard such words, his eyes lit up, as if a hungry beast suddenly saw the chubby rabbit, and replied softly, "Oh ?”

Is there food in Pingxing County?very nice……
