It seemed that everyone was quite happy to see the embarrassment of the county magistrate, and they couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere was very cheerful for a while.

Li Gang's face is a little not good-looking, except for the scribe Lu Desheng, everyone else can be said to be his juniors in terms of seniority, and they are laughing at them, and their faces are a little unbearable.

The joke should be stopped in moderation, not to mention that the object of this joke is the prefectural order.

Everyone laughed for a while, then stopped, if Li Gang was really annoyed, it was not a joke.

Lu Desheng knew in his heart that the lunch delivered by this takeaway was indeed four servings, but it was not without Li Gang's share, what he really didn't have was his own share.

"My lord, I've already prepared a meal at Xiajia, so I'll go back to eat first." Lu Desheng retreated.

Li Shuang tried his best to stop it, and said: "Scribe Lu doesn't have to go home, there are exactly four servings here, let's eat them together." ”

"Oh, the son carries love, I get it in my heart, the family is really ready, farewell, farewell!" Lu Desheng said, and ran away as if he had fled.

Li Gang tried to throw the pot on him just now, but Lu Desheng knew in his heart that if he stayed to eat, he might need to carry another big pot.

Li Shuang watched Lu Desheng leave, his face was full of disappointment, he sighed very exaggeratedly, and said: "Brother Xiao, Brother Chen, tell me, there are ready-made good meals and good dishes, and I have to go home, it's really inexplicable!" ”

Xiao Zan couldn't wait any longer, and beckoned: "Hurry up and eat, but I'm starving to death." ”

Li Shuang was also polite, sat down, and the two of them had already greeted the food on the table.

Chen Zheng made a gesture to Li Gang and said, "Master Li, please." ”

Li Gang snorted softly and said, "I don't have my share of the dishes here, I'd better go out and eat." ”

"Master Li, this is originally for four people, if you go out to eat, we won't be able to finish it." Chen Zheng explained.

Li Gang was still a little arrogant, and raised his head and said: "If you can't finish eating, what do you have to do with this official?" ”

Chen Zheng shook his head and said: "The county magistrate is not mistaken, if I am not mistaken, His Majesty the Emperor has just issued a holy decree, requiring all states and counties to resolutely stop the waste of meals and earnestly cultivate a good habit of saving food. ”

Xiao Zan next to him nodded and agreed: "Yes, my father did issue such a holy order, didn't Dongyang County receive it?" ”

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Dongyang County has naturally received the holy order, and this official attaches great importance to it, and has informed the major restaurants to strictly implement it, and if anyone is extravagant and wasteful, they must report to the official as soon as possible." If you don't believe it, you can ask Meng Chujiu, the current shopkeeper of Juquande Restaurant, he knows. ”

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Master Li's words, we are naturally trustworthy, since this is the case, Lord Li should sit down quickly." Don't ask the restaurant to save, but waste it at home, if this spreads, it is very bad. You need to know that 'who knows that Chinese food on the plate is hard work'! ”

"It's hard work?" Li Gang chewed on this sentence repeatedly, nodded and said, "Master Xiao Chen really has the talent to compose poetry, and the poems that come later are so evocative. ”

Chen Zheng was slightly embarrassed and said, "Master Li praised it falsely, let's have a quick meal." ”

Li Gang was actually hungry for a long time, and said through Chen Zheng's steps: "These two poems of Master Xiao Chen have moved the official, and the official will have a meal with you, but I won't sit in this position." ”

Originally, it was arranged that Li Gang and Li Shuang would be next to each other, but now that the two had just had a conflict, no one wanted to be next to each other.

Chen Zheng laughed and said, "This is easy to do, let's change it." ”

With that, Chen Zheng came to sit down between the two and separated the two.

"Do you know why His Majesty issued a holy decree asking all localities to save food?" Li Gang said suddenly, breaking the silence.

Xiao Zan glanced at Li Gang and said, "You may not believe it when you say it, but you will definitely not think of the real reason." ”

Li Shuang was very gossip and curious, and asked, "Brother Xiao, can you tell us about it." ”

"If this son says it, you are not good at spreading it, if it reaches the ears of my father, everyone will be sad." Xiao Zan instructed in advance.

Li Shuang hurriedly stood up with one palm and said, "I am swearing that I will never spread it, otherwise I will not be able to give birth to a son!" ”

"Little brute, not a son of man! This kind of vow is also made casually? Li Gang shouted, if Li Shuang can't give birth to a son, then he won't be able to hold his grandson, won't the Li family be dead?

Li Shuang didn't care, just looked at Xiao Zan and said, "Brother Xiao, are you relieved now?" Let's talk about it. ”

Xiao Zan looked around, sure that there was no one, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, this matter is very simple, my father asked the imperial chef to make a charcoal-grilled pheasant that he likes to eat one day, because he didn't finish the meal, so he asked the servant to put it away and prepare for the next meal." However, the servant in charge of this matter did not make it clear to another servant when he handed over the work, and as a result, the remaining charcoal-grilled pheasant was directly fed to the dog. ”

"What? His Majesty ate the food, and even fed the dogs. Li Shuang felt incredible.

Xiao Zan nodded and said, "Father was furious, beat those two servants and drove them out of the palace, and then issued such a holy order to save food. ”

Chen Zheng and the other three were a little embarrassed when they heard it, they didn't expect that it would be such a reason, could this be true? This came out of the mouth of the prince.

But then they thought that the prince was not very reliable, and what came out of his mouth probably shouldn't be taken too seriously, just a joke.

"Xiao Gongzi said with a smile, His Majesty has always attached great importance to the harvest and safety of grain, and has been advocating the social atmosphere of 'strict economy and opposition to waste', and this time it has directly put forward clear requirements for all states and counties. Li Gang Road.

Chen Zheng rolled his eyes, this was obviously Li Gang in front of the prince, slapping the emperor's ass, but this sycophant kung fu was really not good.

Xiao Zan smiled and said, "Lord Li, if you have the opportunity to say these words in front of my father, the effect will be better, but it's useless to tell my son." ”

Li Gang's little trick was punctured, and he couldn't help but blush, stopped talking, and focused on the meal.

"Brother Chen, what are we going to do first after we eat?" Xiao Zan asked.

Xiao Zan was more excited than panicked about this incident, and always wanted to show his fists and feet.

Chen Zheng thought for a while and said, "Go to the dock first, gather the craftsmen, and prepare to build a trebuchet." ”

"That's what my son thinks, too." Xiao Zan nodded very stinkily.
