Xie Zhi received two swells of tofu brains, and the dispute between Zhang Quan and Li Xiong was settled.

But Li Xiong was still nagging to defend his innocence, "Xie Zhixian, it's really not that the villain doesn't want to accept it, it's just that this small business, the two-slot tofu brain villain really can't sell it." ”

Is it still useful to say this at this time?

Xie Zhi didn't get angry, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's okay, this county understands, this matter is of course Zhang Quan's fault, you are also at fault, knowing that Zhang Quan is illiterate, why do you still tell each other by letter, isn't it good to pass it on by word of mouth?" ”

Li Xiong opened his mouth and was about to argue, Xie Zhi still had a faint smile, raised his hand and said: "There is a reason, no matter what the reason is, you should also take this situation into account, this county happened to meet today, and I can help you receive these two slots of tofu brain, what about next time?" Such a stalemate also has an impact on the reputation of Shopkeeper Li, right? Businessmen are all about making money with harmony, right? ”

In front of so many people, Xie Zhi also has to fulfill the responsibility of a county parent official, and he can't directly accept the tofu brain.

Although the liquor shop run by Li Xiong is not big, he can be regarded as having seen many people from the three religions and nine streams, and he still has the ability to change his face.

Regardless of whether he agrees with Xie Zhi's remarks or not, he will accept it anyway, "The villain knows, I must pay attention next time." ”

It doesn't matter if you pay attention next time, anyway, just give him face now.

Xie Zhi nodded, and said to Zhang Quan: "Although Shopkeeper Li is at fault, you have to pay the main responsibility, but it is not your fault that you are illiterate, so isn't there a school in this village?" At the end of the daily children's lessons, night classes are held in the village schools to teach literacy, and both men and women, women and children can learn to read a few more words, and this kind of thing will not happen in the future. ”

Zhang Quan didn't want to learn, but he didn't believe that he could learn, so he asked in surprise: "Villains can also learn?" ”

Surprised by Zhang Quan, Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and replied, "Why not?" The saint still submits the teaching, the reading and literacy part is high and low, as long as you are willing to learn. ”

Eradicating illiteracy is also a necessary way for the people to become rich and the country strong.

However, Xie Zhi's heart is good, and there will inevitably be very few people who go to learn.

After all, in the eyes of people nowadays, studying is for the purpose of entering the imperial examination, and those who have worked in the fields for half their lives still expect to fail to enter the imperial examination.

Opening a night school early, Xie Zhi is also a way to solve this matter, it is for Emperor Hongzhi to see, and it is also for the people in the clouds to see.

By the time Xie Zhi received the two slots of tofu brains, the matter had been resolved.

Now the follow-up is actually not very useful.

The matter was settled, and Li Xiong and Zhang Quan invited Xie Zhi to eat at their place.

If it was just Xie Zhi, maybe he would have gone.

Now that there is Emperor Hongzhi by his side, he still wants to perform well.

After rejecting the invitation of the two, Emperor Hongzhi no longer paid a private visit to the next micro-service, and only went to the granary to see the grain reserve problem, and then returned to the county government with Xie Zhi.

Xie Zhi dared to absorb so many homeless people, and expanded Yunzhongwei, and the food matter would be well stocked.

When he returned to the county office, Zhang Quan had already sent the tofu brain.

The chef in the county has slaughtered the sheep under the supervision of He Liang, and has made a portion of mutton of various flavors.

Haggis, lamb soup, fried lamb, steamed lamb...

Among these things, Xie Zhi's favorite is still haggis.

In addition to a table of lamb, the main dish is oil cake.

Naturally, it is also inseparable from tofu brain.

If it wasn't for Zhang Quan and Li Xiong, in order to entertain Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Zhi had to get a few pieces of tofu to eat.

This tofu is not unusual, but it tastes absolutely good.

Not long after returning to the county office, when he was about to have dinner, Zhu Houzhao came back.

Zhu Houzhao is also a son anyway, and his father is here, so he has to come to meet him.

As for Wang Shouren and Tang Yin, without the special will of Emperor Hongzhi, he still has to stick to his post and can't leave easily.

Probably Xie Zhi's nagging played a role, and after Zhu Houzhao returned to the county office, he was completely two people from before.

Tranquil and steady, knowledgeable, every word and deed, every move is like someone else's child.

The smile on Emperor Hongji's face seemed to have never melted.

Although he did not praise Zhu Houzhao in person, it can be seen that the smile originated from Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Majesty, eat tofu brain, Xuezhuang's tofu is the most famous in the ten miles and eight townships."

After Xie Zhi just spoke, Zhu Houzhao got up with a smile, took the bowl from Xiao Jing's hand, and said, "Father-in-law Xiao, come to this palace..."

Zhu Houzhao served a meal to Emperor Hongzhi, but Xie Zhi was going to give Xie Qian a meal.

Xie Zhi wanted to be a good companion, but he didn't want Zhu Houzhao to override him.

Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi served tofu brains for their father at the same time.

After tasting it, the two fathers inevitably said a good word.

After eating the tofu brain, Xie Zhi put another oil cake into the bowl of Emperor Hongzhi and said: "Your Majesty, although this thing is not new, but the minister has improved the cooking oil, and the taste of the thing made is much better... Your Majesty tastes..."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao was so stingy, and said: "Xie Wu, the things in the clouds are also clear in this palace, you greet Master Xie, and my father is here in this palace." ”

Really, why can't he behave it?

Forget it, I'll give him this face today, and I'm too lazy to bother with him.

Xie Zhi smiled and smiled, and replied: "Yes, yes, your highness greets Your Majesty..."

In order to save face for Zhu Houzhao, Xie Zhi didn't dare to be overly enthusiastic when he entertained his father, and he would not introduce Xie Qian until Zhu Houzhao finished his performance.

The people on the table are all old fritters, how can they not see that Xie Zhi is giving Zhu Hou face.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao performed well today.

But Xie Zhi's slow motion also added a lot of points for him.

Halfway through eating, Emperor Hongzhi asked, "This mutton can't be unique to the clouds, right?" ”

Xie Zhi paused, and Zhu Houzhao replied first: "No, this is still sent by Wuliangha." ”

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Houzhao stopped talking, and Xie Zhicai said: "The forage is not very sufficient, and the ministers do not dare to breed on a large scale, but even so, there are more than 300 now." ”

How much forage can be in a cloud, even in summer, it can't feed much, let alone survive the green and yellow winter and spring.

It is not easy to raise 300 heads.

Emperor Hongzhi took another sip of the mutton soup and asked, "This soup is excellent, much stronger than the one in the palace." ”

The food in the palace may sound like a delicacy and a sumptuous meal, but it doesn't necessarily taste like that.

In the past dynasties, no matter what part of the emperor's diet was in charge, he did not dare to do anything too good.

Those who cook are worried about raising the emperor's taste, and they will not be able to cook what the emperor needs in the future, resulting in death.

On the other hand, he was also worried that the emperor would be obsessed with food and delay the major affairs of the court.

Therefore, being an emperor is really not so comfortable.

Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry to perform, blurted out, and replied: "The kitchen was given by the king of Yunzhong County, and the craftsmanship is really good." ”

As soon as Zhu Hou said this, the movement in Emperor Hongzhi's hand stopped and put the bowl down.

A series of actions is enough to prove that Emperor Hongzhi minded this.

This can't be blamed on Emperor Hongzhi, it's not a good thing for the court officials to get too close to the fiefdom prince.

What's more, Xie Zhi came here with high hopes, even if he had no other special involvement with the King of Yunzhong, it was always a little inappropriate to be obsessed with food.

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

Seeing that the meal was already halfway through, it was about to be finished, and after eating, Emperor Hongzhi went back after resting in the clouds for a day.

As long as Emperor Hongzhi leaves the clouds, they can be regarded as coping with it.

Regarding the trouble caused by Zhu Houzhao's trouble, Xie Zhi had to continue to explain, and said: "When the minister first came to Yunzhong, Yang Taihe left the manpower unavailable, and the king of Yunzhong left this kitchen after helping, and he got used to it, and the minister did not return it, so the cook was not a slave, and he was willing to stay, and the king of Yunzhong did not have to be embarrassed." ”

After Xie Zhi's explanation, Emperor Hongzhi didn't say much, but said: "Eat, eat, don't let down Xie Zhi's kindness..."
