Chapter Seventy-One: Old Excuses

"Hu County Order, why did these two offend you, and they want to kneel and reply like this in the summer."

Hu Xianling didn't expect the two adults to pay so much attention to these two Shengdou Xiaomin, and said in embarrassment for a while, "They are the owners of this field, and I am asking them about rice." ”

"Get up and talk back." Governor Lin said, "If it's really their field, you have to ask carefully." To know how important it is to harvest the rice three months in advance! Even if you report it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will reward them with a flat body. ”

How damning is this, it is obvious that Hu Xianling does not pay attention to agricultural matters, and even secretly points out that he is bigger than the emperor's shelf.

Hu Xian Ling instantly broke out in a cold sweat, if it was just the prefect who said this, maybe he wouldn't be like this, the key is that there is a pacification envoy here. These are the eyes and ears of the emperor! If it reaches His Majesty's ears, his life will really be explained.

Yun Xiang helped Liu Chengshuang to stand up and said, "Thank you, two adults." She really didn't have a good impression of Hu Xianling, so she deliberately ignored him.

Seeing that Gu Mo had a cold face and didn't speak, Governor Lin opened his mouth and asked, "Liu Chengshuang, let me ask you, why did your rice harvest nearly three months earlier than other people's homes?" ”

Liu Chengshuang had already been brainwashed by Yun Xiang, and he replied unhurriedly, "My lord, the seeds of my rice are different, and the seedlings are raised in advance, and they will be transplanted after the seedlings survive." ”

"Where did you come from?" Governor Lin knew that this was an opportunity, and he couldn't say that he would be able to return to the capital after his three-year term of office expired.

"Lord Huiyu, because the grass people have been bedridden before, this kind of child was bought by the little girl by accident, and I don't know the specific situation."

Governor Lin asked again, "Little girl, can you tell me where this kind of child came from?" ”

Yun Xiangqiang couldn't help laughing, and pretended not to know Governor Lin's mansion, and replied seriously, "It's another time I went to the county seat and met a merchant who urgently needed to sell his goods, because he sold it cheaply, I bought his seeds, and I really didn't expect it to mature three months in advance." ”

"What about this cultivation method? How do you know? Hu Xianling couldn't help but ask.

Yun Xiang said with a smile, "A few months ago, a monk came to my house to ask for water to drink. He stayed in Izumo Mountain for a while, and I tasted that I could meet him. That's what he told me.

"Could it be ......" Hu Xianling's accidental exposure of a few words made Yun Xiang couldn't help but guess.

Maybe there really is such a master who likes to travel around. Last time, Governor Lin listened to this excuse and stopped asking.

"How long will it take for you to finish harvesting your paddy?" Gu Mo, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

Liu Chengshuang summed it up and said, "It's about two more days." ”

After Gu Mo and Governor Lin discussed for a while, Governor Lin said, "In this way, let the county government arrange someone to help you harvest." After harvesting tomorrow, we will take the agricultural officer to calculate the yield per mu the day after tomorrow. ”

Liu Chengshuang and Yun Xiang bowed their heads in response, and Governor Lin said again, "Such a hot weather is really not suitable for rushing, this time, it's almost noon." ”

If you want to stay for dinner, just say it, okay? Yun Xiang glanced at Governor Lin speechlessly, and then saw that his father didn't answer at all, and knew that he didn't understand Governor Lin's hint at all. So Yun Xiang took a step forward helplessly and smiled, "It's almost noon, if the two beaters rush back to the city, it will inevitably be tired, why don't you go to the grass hut and order rural wild food?" ”

Liu Chengshuang was stunned for a moment, but also reacted, and was enthusiastic, "We don't have any good things in the countryside, but yesterday my daughter just hunted pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, and the two adults can often enjoy this game." ”

Gu Mo nodded, and Governor Lin said with a smile, "Then we'll bother." As for the others...... he glanced at Hu Xianling, "just ask Hu Xianling to take them to the county government to settle down first." ”

Seeing that he was ostracized, Hu Xianling smiled bitterly, "My lord, where can you have your appetite in this wilderness?" Why don't we go into the county seat together and let Fumanlou or Hongyun Restaurant prepare a table. ”

"No," Governor Lin waved his hand, "I'm tired of eating there for a long time." I'm also rare to have a leisure, and I just want to look around. Hu Xianling should go back. ”

A large group of people left, leaving only Gu Mo, Lin Zhifu, and one of Lin Zhifu's entourage and Gu Mo's two personal guards.

Several people went all the way back to Yun Xiang's house, and Yun Xiang's mother Zhou took Yun Lian and Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu to see each other and then retreated.

Because it was a big official, Zhou handed over Xiaoliu to Shang Jia to take care of, and he also joined the ranks of cooking.

Today's recipe is set by Yun Xiang, sweet and sour pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, soup fried double crispy, nine-turn large intestine and fish head tofu soup. It is served with two vegetables, shiitake mushroom and cabbage, and two appetizing cold dishes.

"Is that okay? No chickens, no fish! "Zhou was a little hesitant and unsure." Didn't your dad say there was game? ”

Yun Lian also frowned, "Do the officials also eat the water?" ”

Yun Xiang laughed, "Isn't there fish in the fish head tofu soup?" I'll put pheasant meat in that pair. Seeing the disagreeing expressions of the two, she continued, "These adults eat chicken, fish, meat and eggs every day, and the reason why they come to us is to try something different, so they must like it." ”

Zhou thought about it, her daughter has always been very assertive, and every time she takes the idea, she is good, so she compromised. Yun Lian thought for a while and said, "What about the rice?" Cooking rice? Or potstickers? ”

"Sister, you go and pick up a pumpkin, and I'll make pumpkin rolls for them to eat." Yun Xiang thought about it and finally decided on the staple food. "That's right! Sister, don't forget to move a jar of fruit wine! ”

In the living room, Lin Zhifu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gently, and sighed, "Sure enough, although this tea is good, it has to be brewed with the water you have here to be the most fragrant." ”

A smile flashed in Gu Mo's eyes, Governor Lin was specifically saying these words in front of him. This Lin Governor is a smart person, knowing that if Qilinwei investigates, he will definitely know about his relationship with Liu Jiashiro, rather than hiding it in front of him, it is better to be honest and honest. He's showing favor and showing that he trusts himself.

Gu Mo opened the lid of the tea cup, the tea soup was clear and bright, the taste was fresh, and it was really good tea. He took a sip of tea gently, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then said, "Lord Lin is so blessed." ”

Governor Lin stroked his beard and laughed twice, "If Lord Gu likes it, you can also bring some when you leave, the Liu family is very generous." ”
