Reborn Farmhouse's Small Restaurant [Wears Book]

Chapter 81

When Tao Xiude went to look for Du Qingchen, the two were cooking vermicelli in the house. Mother Su brought a lot of dried vermicelli. Du Qingchen didn't even bother to cook and eat them along the way, so he just stared at the guards. County, he can also relax and have time to get some hot and sour noodles.

"Is it all right?" Su Junxia took the wowtou and looked at the red soup stock that was tumbling in Du Qingchen's pot. The oily, red and lustrous layer of oil on it was Du Qingchen's homemade chili oil, which made him very appetizing.

"I'll do it right away, find two bowls." Du Qingchen didn't lift his head.

"Three." Tao Xiude answered, squatting by the stove, looking at Du Qingchen and smiling.

Du Qingchen raised his head to see the person who came, "Young Master Tao, this...it's not delicious." The most important thing is that so little is not enough to eat, so he only made two servings.

"It doesn't matter, if it doesn't taste good, I'll eat more for you." Tao Xiude said with a smile, we've known each other for so long, who doesn't know who! If it's not delicious, Su Junxia will wait for the food in this pot to eat without taking a bite of the wowotou.

Du Qingchen was speechless for a while, so he had to nod, "Okay, it's yours, then you can eat more." Du Qingchen looked at Su Junxia, ​​and then at Tao Xiude, there were two big guys like rice bowls there. , This pot of hot and sour noodles, he probably won't be able to eat much.

Du Qingchen divided three bowls out and brought them to the table. Tao Xiude likes spicy food. In fact, he has a very strong taste. This hot and sour powder perfectly suits his taste. Tao Xiude does not care about the heat. After blowing some vermicelli, he took a bite, "Well, it's hot and sour, and the noodles here are chewy and delicious! But it doesn't taste like noodles! Brother Du, what is this? "

The vermicelli, I plan to sell it in the future!"

"Then the relationship is good, and we must cooperate more in the future, right, Boss Su?"

"That's for sure, when it comes to making money, Boss Du will never leave me." Su Junxia drank a sip of hot and sour soup, took a bite of Wo Wo Tou, and said vaguely.

Tao Xiude glanced at the wowtou in Su Junxia's hand, and suddenly felt that he should have one too. After all, this hot and sour powder is indeed a bit heavier, so Tao Xiude also reached out and took the book from the plate on the table. It belongs to Du Qingchen's staple food.

Du Qingchen turned his head and stared at Tao Xiude, unable to speak for a long time, not only robbed him of his hot and sour noodles, but even ate his staple food!

Du Qingchen asked hesitantly, "Young Master Tao, haven't you eaten yet?"

"No, I just came out from Master Shao." Tao Xiude said vaguely, um, incense! The hot and sour soup is delicious.

"Then how can I starve you! Come on! Bring Mr. Tao's food to my house, Mr. Tao is eating here today!" This is the county government office, and there is a servant outside the door, Du Qingchen. Directly let someone bring Tao Xiude's meal over. After all, his meal was robbed, but there is no reason why he can't get it back.

Tao Xiude was stunned for a moment, smirked, and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, but he didn't spit it out, "Okay! Today my food belongs to you, you are stingy."

"This is not stingy, if my family is rich , at this moment, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, don't talk about robbing me of a bowl of noodles and a nest, even the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, I don't even blink my eyes, isn't it, I just eat like this, a penny kills a hero, a meal If you don't eat, you will be so hungry!"

Soon, the servant brought Tao Xiude's food in, Du Qingchen glanced at it, in fact it was not much better than them, and thought there would be some big fish and big meat. ! Du Qingchen sighed in disappointment, it turned out to be just a bowl of millet porridge more than them.

"What's wrong? Very disappointed?" Tao Xiude teased, looking at Du Qingchen's disappointed eyes, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"I feel so sorry for the young master! The young master's status is very precious, and I never imagined that he would like to eat the wotou like us." Du Qingchen picked up a wotou and replied.

"Now there is a shortage of food, it is Master Shao, and this is what he is eating at the moment. What do you think? Is it possible that there are people outside who are hungry all the time, and we are still in the county government?"

Du Qingchen was stunned, nodded and said: "I was wrong." Shao Qing is really not a good person, but he is not arrogant and extravagant, and he still has some ability and responsibility.

"Speaking of which, Brother Du, are you willing to stay in this Yuan County temporarily and help me and Mr. Shao?"

"Didn't you say everything before?" Tao Xiude asked him before he set off, and wanted him to stay in Yuan County. He agreed to help the county, and even the conditions were agreed.

Tao Xiude said embarrassedly: "Isn't this something that happened in Pingxing County, who doesn't know about your stinky temper! I must be so angry in my heart, how can you help us work in a down-to-earth way? Let's talk about conditions, how can I make you agree?"

"What about me? I'm not happy either..." Su Junxia couldn't help but interject when he heard it, he is willing to do good things!

"It's none of your business, you're my subordinate, do you still plan to push things back if you want to do something?" Tao Xiude raised his eyebrows.

Su Junxia tacitly acquiesced, being a subordinate has no human rights! Let's eat honestly! Don't wait for Tao Xiude to ask him after he's finished eating, he can't refuse as a subordinate, but he's not full yet! Su Junxia ate with his head down.

Only then did Du Qingchen say, "I can't count any conditions! I just hope that after I help him, Master Shao can fill in the hole he dug for me. Isn't this what it should be?"

"Yes, you It makes sense, how do you think this hole should be filled?" Tao Xiude asked sincerely.

Du Qingchen put down his chopsticks, "First of all, Magistrate Feng is not very supportive of me and Su Junxia saving food. He is afraid that we will get into trouble, but we have to do this because we think of the villagers, Magistrate Feng. In the end, we acquiesced. But we just wanted to do this quietly, but who would have thought that under a paper order from Master Feng, every household would have to hand over the life-saving food in their hands! Mr. Tao, you said Is this reasonable?!"

"Naturally it is unreasonable. At this time, Pingxing County must also regard food as its life. How can you say that you want it!" Tao Xiude followed.

"That's right, after he asked me to go back to my hometown with Su Junxia, ​​how should I face my fathers and villagers? How should I face the magistrate Feng?! Could it be that we did something bad with good intentions, which caused the fathers and villagers to spend money and not get any money? When I got to the food, I only received an IOU that I don't know when it will be paid?! Could it be that we are sorry for you, Feng County magistrate, and caused you trouble for no reason, so you have to go from house to house to collect food in a low voice?! Dare Ask, Master Shao, have you thought about the situation that Su Junxia and I will return to our hometown in the future?!"

Tao Xiude nodded: "I really didn't think about it, I guess he didn't think about it that much, big people, how do you know the troubles of small people?"

Du Qingchen looked on. Resentful, "Young Master Tao, tell me, is it a condition to solve these troubles?"

"Of course it doesn't count, it should be, otherwise, wait for me to write a letter to my father and ask him to send it to Magistrate Feng. This year's government performance is excellent. As a reward, I will write a plaque for the few families who have deposited food. As for the IOU, this is the order of the imperial envoy to adjust the food. Naturally, it is an official business. It will be paid back." Tao Xiude said.

For Tao Taishou, the evaluation of political achievements is a trivial matter; a family with a pair of words, even the plaque does not need to be personally paid for, it is also a trivial matter; as for the use of the government's treasury to pay off debts, it is a matter of one sentence, it is very simple!

Du Qingchen also heard the chicken thief in Tao Xiude's words, but he didn't ask for much, at least this way, after he returned to his hometown, he would not be complained by the villagers and the county magistrate Feng, and he even fell behind. Plaques, too. Du Qingchen nodded, "With your words, I feel a lot more at ease."

"Is there anything else you want?" Tao Xiude asked.

Du Qingchen saw that Tao Xiude wanted to coax him today so that he could continue to do things with his heart, and said: "But ordinary people, it is my honor to be able to do things for the imperial envoy, how can I dare to ask for other things? I just hope that the drought will pass soon, the neighbors will be able to live in peace, and the family will be safe, that is, all my wishes have been fulfilled."

"Is it really gone?"

"No." Du Qingchen is not stupid, he just said so much, in fact It was his conditions, which Tao Xiude gave him, and he was barely satisfied, but after going around, all these requirements turned into what Tao Xiude should have done, not his requirements. , he got what he wanted and kept the favor.

In this way, he should continue to owe others' favors. If he needs anything in the future, can't he find Tao Xiude or Shao Qing, and can't rely on today's face to get a three-point help?

No, you want more!

Others always bully him and humiliate him. He always has to fight and hold more things in order to protect himself and be safe and sound in this life.

Tao Xiude breathed a sigh of relief. After eating, he took Du Qingchen to see Shao Qing. Du Qingchen was different from Su Junxia. Su Junxia could only be used as a warrior. Tao Xiude also let him continue to look at the food. At this time, the food Nature is the most important, which is also a great trust. As for Du Qingchen, what to do with him would have to be arranged by Shao Qing.

Outside the study, Tao Xiude said: "You wait for me outside the yard, I will tell you to come in again."

"Understood." Du Qingchen nodded.

Tao Xiude straightened his clothes and entered the study. Shao Qing put down the official document and said, "How is it?"

"He agreed."

"What request?" Shao Qing asked casually.

"There is no requirement." Tao Xiude can do it easily, and Shao Qing doesn't need to worry about it. Shao Qing is the brother of the Fifth Prince, and his official position is higher than that of Tao Taishou. In front of him, Tao Xiude can only pretend to be a subordinate, and it is naturally his duty to solve trivial matters for the superior.

"No?" Shao Qing was stunned, then closed the official document and sat upright, "Didn't you tell him that I asked him to mention it?"

"Although he didn't say it, he was smart enough to know it."

"Even if So, he has nothing else to ask for?"

"Yes." Tao Xiude nodded.

"Humph!" Shao Qing laughed, "Sure enough, he's a smart person, don't, he wants the most."

Tao Xiude was stunned, but he didn't react for a while, but seeing that Shao Qing seemed to understand, Tao Xiude also Quickly thinking about it, what does it mean to not want more? Tao Xiude is also a smart person. He just didn't think much about it before. He really thought about it in this direction. Shao Qing said it so clearly, Tao Xiude suddenly realized, "Isn't this kind of debt just owed!"

After this, if Du Qingchen asks for something, just because he is so dedicated to help now, can Shao Qing and him be able to stay out of the door without any affection?

What a thief! Tao Xiude looked complicated.

"Call him in, if you want me to owe him favors, you have to do something, see if he can afford it!" Shao Qing said.

"Yes." Tao Xiude stepped back.

Soon, Du Qingchen walked in with his head bowed. After entering the door, he bowed his hands to Shao Qing, "I have seen the imperial envoy.

" Unwilling to bend his knees, he asked softly, the arrogance was self-evident.

Du Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and smiled, "I don't read much, so naturally I have no fame, but I came here with Tao Gongzi as a small official. Although a small official has no reputation, he is also half an official. Kneeling, but if the imperial envoy wants the villain to kneel, it is not impossible for him to kneel. Du Qingchen has seen it before..."

"Come on!" Shao Qing stopped and rolled his eyes secretly. In the past, he was also quite talented and witty. When he knelt down, he suppressed this person's arrogance, but it also completely cut off the possibility of this person being used by him. Those who can help him do things are just testing it out.

Du Qingchen automatically stood up straight before his knees bent, looking at his nose and heart, standing there with a humble expression, who knows what thoughts are going on. Shao Qing observed for a moment, then said, "I have a difficult matter that I want you to do."

"Sir, please tell me, Qing Chen will do his best to share the worries of the Lord." Du Qingchen raised his hand and replied.

Shao Qing said: "Didn't you catch a few traitors along the way? I have also sent someone to trial for a long time, but I didn't spit out anything useful. Why don't you try it?"

Du Qingchen was stunned and asked him to trial the prisoner? ! He can't do such a bloody and cruel thing! He is a modern person, and he is not used to this.

Seeing the sudden change in Du Qingchen's expression, Shao Qing said, "Is there a problem? No?"

"No, but I don't know whether to save my life or not?"

"Stay here, you still have to be a witness! The injuries should not be too serious, lest you be charged with subjugation and be bitten back." Shao Qing said softly.

No wonder the result of the trial has never come out! Du Qingchen understood, cupped his hands and said, "It will take a few days."

"Okay, take your time, don't worry, this disaster has to be relieved slowly! Before returning to Beijing, pick up all the spies so that they can testify." Qing said casually.

Du Qingchen was stunned for a moment, not to be killed, not to be seriously injured, but also to let them spit out everything they knew, to pick out other spies, and to let them be witnesses! This is too good for him! If you don't do it, you might still be able to live. If you do it, it will tire the whole family. Who will do it? If it's not hard bones, it's hard at the moment!

Du Qingchen took a deep breath and cupped his hands: "Qingchen understands!"

Shao Qing smiled wickedly, "Don't be nervous, I won't blame you if the trial doesn't come out, remember to tell me when the time comes, I'll give you a more relaxed job. Let's do it." Now that he has changed to an easy job, there is no need to count on his favor, and it is not his turn to keep things in mind that ordinary little officials can do.

"Thank you for your concern, Qing Chen will do his best not to disappoint you."
