Chapter 522: Noodles

Guo Wenying was deeply shocked, the county government is like this, what is the people's home still like?

This Jiang and his entourage are the same, I don't know what life he has been living for more than a year, in such a dilapidated county office, he lives by himself every day, and he has to think about taking care of innocent people. Or only with a temperament like him can endure it, and he actually continues to serve here.

Jiang and his entourage stood up and walked out, went to the kitchen and went down. Guo Wenying also followed, she felt that she still had to make some things clear to him, even if she apologized.

Xu Heng was about to go out with him, but was stopped by Zhang Qiang. He smiled and said, "Lord Xu, we have known each other for a long time, so can't we talk to our brothers?"

On the surface, he was chatting with Xu Heng, but in fact, he wanted to create a chance for the two of them to be alone. As a bodyguard, I don't have any eyesight, so what are you doing?

When Jiang and his entourage entered the kitchen, they began to take pots and noodles, put the noodles on the table, there was a fire burning there, the water was boiling, and the noodles were rolled. As soon as I put it in the pot and boiled for a while, the noodles floated up.

Guo Wenying watched him skillfully make noodles, and suddenly felt sour in his heart, if it wasn't for Feng Jingting's domineering insistence to rob her, maybe she would have married Jiang and his party, and there was such a small kitchen at home, he gave her noodles in the kitchen, and occasionally looked back at her, all with a doting smile.

It's a pity that there are no such ifs and maybes in this world, since she has taken this road and has made a lifelong agreement with Feng Jingting, she can't think about anything else.

She whispered, "What happened that day was that I was sorry for you and caused you to be relegated to such a remote place. I've wanted to say sorry to you for a long time, but I haven't had a chance, and I shouldn't have been involved in that grudge. ”

Jiang Yixing's hand cooking noodles paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "It's not your fault, I know you were also forced." As long as that person treats you well, I have nothing more to ask for. ”

Guo Wenying nodded, "He treats me very well, and he is sincere." And we're married. ”

Jiang and his entourage were stunned for a moment, "Married, he still let you go to such a dangerous place?"

"It's my own idea, it's none of his business. ”

Jiang and his entourage were silent for a while, "It's your business after all, it's not my turn to make irresponsible remarks." You also know that this place is dangerous, so leave it as soon as you can. ”

Guo Wenying nodded, she said what she had always wanted to say, and she felt a little more comfortable, for a long time, Jiang and his party had been a pimple in her heart, she always felt sorry for him and wanted to make up for him. Now that she is the governor, she will do more for him what she can do for him in the future.

She asked: "Do you want to stay in Quanzhou? Is it good to transfer you to another province as an official? Find a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers and a beautiful environment." ”

Jiang and his entourage shook their heads, "No need, I can't leave here, the people here are too miserable, if I leave, no one wants to come here as officials, and the people will be even more miserable." ”

Guo Wenying also knew his temperament, and he was stubborn, and no one could say that he could not move, but since he was willing to stay here, then they would work together to build Quanzhou well.

Although it is now sparsely populated, once the Japanese invaders are swept away, a port is opened here, and a maritime yamen is built, it will develop into an important town in the southeast, and its status is even more important than that of Fuzhou.

As the two spoke, the noodles were already cooked, and one walked into the hall with a tray carrying a few bowls.

Pi Xiaosan was standing at the door, and when he saw Guo Wenying hurriedly taking it, he said with a smile: "Boss, how is this your work, just leave it to us." ”

Guo Wenying said: "There are still in the kitchen, you can go and bring it over." ”

She entered the house with the noodles, and a bowl was placed in front of one person, and several people sat there and began to eat noodles.

Jiang and his entourage are really good, the noodles are not soft or hard, and the food is very strong, especially the soup is very good, the soup boiled with fish soup is milky white, with a sweet fragrance, it is really delicious and delicious.

Guo Wenying's appetite has not been very good for more than a year, basically a bowl of rice, and rarely goes back to the bowl, but this time she ate two bowls in a row.

Jiang and his entourage saw that she liked to eat, and said with a smile: "There are also some fish soups, you can take some back, I boiled them myself, put them in a crockpot, and you can eat them when you go back and heat them up." This side is close to the sea, the fish and shrimp are the freshest, and there are occasional fishing boats selling them on the beach. ”

Guo Wenying smiled and shook her head, "You don't have to bring it, we will go to the beach in a while to see the newly built port." ”

"Then I'll go with you, I'm familiar with that piece. ”

Guo Wenying nodded, after eating, they didn't wait for Lu Weixin and those people, they rode directly to the beach. It is about thirty miles from the sea, and it will take you an hour or two to get there on a fast horse.

They ran along the coastline for a while, Guo Wenying saw that this place was not bad, the place was wide, the draft of the bay was deep enough to moor large ships, and there was also a place to build a cargo hold as a cargo transfer station.

But now there is nothing but a lot of wood piled up on the ground. The silver of the imperial court has long been allocated, and almost everything has been spent to build a port, but now it has become like this.

Jiang Yixing said: "Originally, half a year ago, I said that I was going to start construction, but then there was no letter at all, I heard that the silver allocated by the imperial court was gone, and I haven't found the whereabouts of the silver yet." ”

Guo Wenying frowned slightly, "Why haven't I heard anyone talk about this?" she asked Xu Heng, "Do you know?"

Xu Heng shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either, I just thought it was because of the rampant Japanese bandits that the construction period was delayed." ”

Such a big matter was not reported, she had been in Fujian for a while, and no one had told her, if Jiang and his party hadn't said it today, she would have been in the dark.

She asked, "Why hasn't anyone mentioned this?"

Jiang and his entourage wondered, "No, this is when Master Suo was there, someone found out that the silver was lost and reported to Master Suo, I was also present at the time, and I listened to a few words from afar." But then there was no news, so it's impossible that Lord Suo didn't even report it. ”

Guo Wenying said secretly, it seems that there are other inside stories about Unatu's death, this southeast place is even more complicated than imagined. No wonder Unatu suddenly checked the salt tax, I was afraid that it was because the silver was lost and it was difficult to explain, so I wanted to start with the salt tax to find some silver, but I took my life in vain.

In just a few months, so many things have happened, and the most surprising thing is that the imperial court has not received any letters, and I don't know whether to say that this Lord Suo is smart or stupid.
