83_83499 "Brother Mao, please don't dangle in front of my eyes, I still have to pack up my things here." Qiu'er saw that Da Mao kept turning around, looking restless, so she stopped the clothes she was packing and said, "You don't know our Langjun's craftsmanship, you were quite confident when you went, why did you come back like this." ”

"But our flour has been replaced, and if it hadn't been replaced, of course I wouldn't have worried." Da Mao said with a frown.

"Then didn't you say that the county master's face is very good, and I look at Lang Jun's appearance, the result should be good, so don't worry, anyway, whether it's good or bad, I'll know tomorrow." Qiu'er said that he naturally hoped that Du Qiyue could win this competition, and even hoped that Du Qiyue could go all the way to Dadu, but the three of them were powerless to change the outcome of the matter, so they could only go with the flow.

"Alas, I know it in my heart, but I can't help but worry about it." Da Mao squatted on the ground and hugged his arms and said.

"Then try to control zhì, where is this, anyway, I see that our Lang Jun will be a person with great achievements in the future, if you are nervous and unstable at this scene now, if Lang Jun really goes to Dadu in the future, how can you follow him, you will not be scared to death long ago!" Qiu'er glanced at Da Mao with disdain.

It's not that he said, Da Mao is really a bit untouchable, but this is not to blame him, after all, he grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and when he grew up, he nested in the kitchen, and stayed in one acre and three points of land all day long, and he didn't read like Du Qiyue, and it was normal to be timid when he went out.

"You said that Xiaoyue really has a big deal? I look like it, but I don't dare to think about it. Da Mao scratched his head and said, from the first time he saw Du Qiyue, he felt that Du Qiyue was not the kind of person who would nest in the countryside for a lifetime, and always felt that Du Qiyue's temperament was not raised by a country family, but like the son of a big family, but he thought about Du Qiyue at most if he could take the test or something, and he really didn't dare to think about the rest.

"I look at it, I used to go out with our young master, most of the old masters and young masters have seen a lot, and our Langjun really looks like a rich son. The appearance of Lang Jun wearing that new robe last time, if he went out and told others that he was the young master of a big official's family, no one would believe him, even if he was the son of the Hou Mansion, probably no one would doubt it. Qiu'er nodded after speaking, to confirm the truth of her words.

"That's right, Xiao Yue looks more and more dazzling now." Da Mao thought of Du Qiyue's appearance that day, and also echoed.

When Du Qiyue woke up, it was already dark, Da Mao and Qiu'er had gone out, and there was only one oil lamp in the house, looking at people in a trance. Du Qiyue's movements were a little twisted and stretched out on the bed, and he touched his hungry stomach again, wanting to get up to find food, but his chest was hit by something, and his brows wrinkled in pain.

"Oh, I knew I wouldn't wear this Raushzi." Du Qiyue screamed painfully and pulled out a stone pendant from his neck, and pinched it hard as if he was angry.

This is a pendant made of blue and white stone, the size of a thumb, carved into the shape of a small bird with a sharp beak, and it is the pointed beak of the little bird that has just touched Du Qiyue. This pendant doesn't look like it's worth much, but Du Qiyue remembered that Du Fugui and Zhao Momo said that it seemed that this pendant was asked for from a temple and had the effect of a talisman. The original owner kept wearing it when he was very young, and then he got a little bigger, and Zhao Mo was afraid that the original owner would lose it, so he put it away.

Du Qiyue happened to turn over when he went out to rummage through his clothes and pack his luggage this time, and he saw that this little bird carving was very vivid and interesting, and remembered that this pendant had the function of a talisman, so he put it on. But now it seems that this amulet does not seem to have any effect, if it does, he will not encounter robbers last time, although he was not injured last time, but he was really scared, and now he occasionally has nightmares.

"I still don't wear it, and it's useless to wear it." Du Qiyue said to himself, reaching out to pull the pendant down, but he hesitated as soon as he held it in his hand, and then thought about it, he just wore it, after all, he is living outside now, this pendant is so small, it would be bad if he took it off and lost it.

As soon as Du Qiyue let go of his hand and stood up to get dressed, Qiu'er pushed the door in from outside, and when she saw Du Qiyue getting up, she immediately walked in to help him get dressed.

"Lang Jun, you are up, are you hungry, do you want to take some food."

"I'll just go down to eat, I'm a little tired after a day of sleep, go down and walk to relax my muscles." Du Qiyue yawned and said.

"If Lang Jun doesn't eat in the house, just go out and eat a small stall in the night market, there is a bit of chaos in the inn now." Qiu'er helped Du Qiyue tie her belt and said.

"How?"

"It's not about today's cooking competition. It turns out that not only Lang Jun has been replaced with ingredients, but several people's good ingredients have been replaced, and a few have also been marked on the ingredients. Qiu'er pouted and said.

"I also wonder, there are obviously people guarding the field at night in the county office, how did those people change the ingredients?" Du Qiyue said with some doubts.

"Lang Jun, what's so strange about this, money can make ghosts grind, and the people in the county government have to support their families. Lang Jun should pay more attention in the future, there are many secrets in this officialdom and mansion, and he accidentally caught the way. Today can be regarded as Lang Jun's awakening, and he made a mark on the flour bag in advance, otherwise it will not be counted if someone calculates it, and he will not even be able to find the person who calculates himself. Qiu'er said that he had been in the mansion for a long time, and he had seen a lot of this kind of trick of stealing beams and changing pillars, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

I can't hear any noise upstairs, but downstairs is really a bit noisy, most of the cooks are rough people, and they scold and shout on their hands, and the whole lobby is very lively. Du Qiyue didn't want to be involved, so he immediately pulled Da Mao and Qiu'er out of the inn, and then went to the night market to find a noodle stall and ordered three bowls of noodles to make dinner for three people.

Like Du Qiyue, there is not only one person who wants to hide quietly, Qi Zining is wandering boringly in the night market at this moment, followed by four small guys behind his buttocks, shaking his head and tail, looking like a gentleman. He saw Du Qiyue eating noodles from a distance, and ran over with a happy face, slapped Du Qiyue on the shoulder, and said happily: "Brother Du, you also come to visit the night market, it just so happens that I also want to eat noodles, let's sit together." ”

Du Qiyue was almost slapped in the face by his sudden slap, and when he saw this person sitting across the table with a familiar look, he unceremoniously shook his eyes and said, "Didn't you look at me eating noodles, what kind of shot, who is choking to death?" ”

During the day, Du Qiyue was obviously a gentle scholar, but at this time he completely changed his appearance, Qi Zining was stunned by his face-changing skills, and then shook his arms more familiarly, and said with a smile: "Isn't this not choked to death?" ”

Du Qiyue rolled her eyes again, and said angrily: "It's too late to choke to death, or you can choke and try it too." ”

Qi Zining naturally didn't want to choke and try it, so he said to Du Qiyue with a hippie smile: "Haha, laughing and laughing, I'm just a little indebted, Brother Du, don't mind!" ”

"I think you owe it." Du Qiyue said.

Qi Zining was not angry at all for Du Qiyue's attitude, but felt that Du Qiyue was very interesting, he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, but that's not it, I have owed a lot of money since I was a child, Brother Du, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about people like me." Everyone eats noodles and eats noodles, and today I have a treat! ”

You can't be polite to a cheeky person like Qi Zining, so Du Qiyue accepted Qi Zining's request to treat him with great peace of mind, anyway, seeing Qi Zining's clothes, this guy should be quite rich, and the three bowls of noodles add up to less than a hundred yuan, so he must be able to afford it.

Du Qiyue's calm attitude made Qi Zining feel very appetizing, and immediately shouted at the noodle stall owner, asking him to send another bowl of noodles and a few good dishes.

"What do you want to do with so much, and you can't eat it." Du Qiyue frowned as she looked at the Liu saucer stir-fry brought by the stall owner. The noodles in this noodle stall are all packed in bowls with big heads, one bowl is enough for one person to eat, and now Qi Zining wants five plates of stir-fried vegetables, how to let them eat it.

"If you can't eat it, you can't eat it, and it's not a good thing." Qi Zining said nonchalantly, reaching out and taking a large piece of chicken from the plate.

Du Qiyue couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Qi Zining looking like a heartless child.

After eating noodles together, they wandered around for a while, and then went back to the inn when the night market was about to disperse. When Du Qiyue went back, the cooks in the inn were scattered, but I don't know what the result will be, but when the results come out tomorrow, it will definitely be inevitable that there will be a trouble, and this time the trouble will definitely be worse than today.

The results of the kitchen competition came out early on the second day, and this time a total of twenty out of the two or three hundred people were selected, Du Qiyue was undoubtedly selected, exactly the third place, and the second place was Qi Zining, which can be regarded as fate.

Qi Zining was also very happy when he saw this result, and immediately went to the Yuekelai Inn to find Du Qiyue, and discussed what means of transportation to go to Guangde County in a few days.

"I think we can hire a carriage so that the road can be a little more comfortable."

Du Qiyue silently calculated the price of hiring a carriage in his heart, and immediately rejected Qi Zining's decision: "There are eight of us in total, and there is a lot of luggage, hiring one carriage is not enough, if you hire two, the price is a little too expensive." "It will take at least a month to get to the head of Guangde County, and if you hire two carriages, you can't have one or two hundred taels of silver, but where did Du Qiyue get so much silver, even if he won the third place this time, Sun Dewu estimated that he would give him a silver tael as a reward and travel expenses, but it could not be one hundred taels.

"Guangde County has developed waterways, or we will take a boat and sit together in Li'an County, and then change to a carriage, Linxian County in Li'an County is the Zedong County we are going to, and it will be cheaper to take a carriage at that time." Qi Zining thought for a while and said.

"It's okay, the waterway is safer, and the ticket price is not expensive." Du Qiyue responded
