Chapter 14: The Story of the Cake

"What do you mean?" Seeing Cao Mi's eyes narrowed, the official immediately asked in a low voice.

"Huh? As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and I naturally mean that I will eat first now. With that, Cao Mi picked up the porridge and took a sip gently. I don't know if there was something unclean in the porridge or if there was dust in his nose, Cao Mi coughed as soon as he swallowed this mouthful of porridge.

While coughing, he pounded his chest hard, just like a drum.

Seeing this, the official completely understood in his heart. But when he figured it out, he wasn't happy. After all, it's not easy to do.

But for the sake of his own future, the official could only slander in his heart, and then said flatteringly: "The little one understands, the adult you eat first, and the little one retires first." ”

Cao Mi let out a noncommittal "um" and lowered his head to concentrate on eating, and only when the official closed the door did he raise his head again and glanced coldly in the direction of the door.

For others, reading the case files of Weishi County in previous years may be a bit boring and tiring. But for Di Renjie, the case files stacked on the bookcase are like a treasure trove. Smelling the fragrance of ink, together with the handwriting on the case file, peeling off the cocoons of past cases is the most wonderful thing in the world.

"Huh? Come. ”

"What do you command?"

"What time is it?"

"It's more than halfway through the unitary time."

If it weren't for the fact that the sun had already set in the west, the light in the room was a little dim and he couldn't see the case file clearly, I am afraid that Di Renjie would still not take his attention away from the case file.

After reading the case file for almost a whole day, he looked up and felt weak, and couldn't help but stand up and stretch.

With his movements, it was not only his waist that relaxed, but also his empty temple.

A few "cooing" sounds inadvertently came out of his belly, expressing dissatisfaction.

"Uh, do you have any food ready now?" Di Renjie asked the official with some embarrassment.

As a secret agent arranged by Cao Mi to stare at Di Renjie's side, Qin Xing, the official of the bureau, took it as his responsibility to gain Di Renjie's trust from the moment he saw Di Renjie, not to mention preparing meals, or preparing some gray entertainment activities.

"Lieutenant Di still has enough to eat, if it's not enough, I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some."

As soon as the meal was served, Di Renjie ate it unceremoniously. It seems that he is polite when eating, but his movements are really not slow. When Qin Xing opened his mouth to speak, he had already wiped out the gruel and baked cakes that he hadn't eaten at noon, and he had also eaten two of the four meaty fried hu cakes.

"Hiccup~" Xu was in a hurry, and Di Renjie accidentally burped out.

Inevitably Di Renjie was embarrassed, Qin Xing hurriedly said: "This Hu Cake was specially bought in Jixian Building, and the taste is no worse than that of the Bianzhou City Restaurant, what does the county lieutenant think?" After speaking, Qin Xing waited for Di Renjie's praise with a beautiful face.

However, what disappointed him was that Di Renjie frowned and put down his chopsticks when he heard this, and said casually: "This Hu cake is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, and it tastes really good. ”

"Thirty Wen." Qin Xing said the price with a smile.

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Why is it so cheap?" Weishi County is not far from Bianzhou, although it is a middle county, how can the price be so much cheaper than Bianzhou. ”

Qin Xing didn't think much about it, thinking that Di Renjie just wanted to know the prices in Weishi County.

immediately explained: "Take this bowl of Hu Cake as an example, if ordinary people go to buy it, it will cost 40 Wen." But the people from our county government are thirty-five wen. When the little one went today, the proprietor of Jixian Building heard that it was going to be brought to the county lieutenant, and he was exempted from Wuwen at the moment. ”

"Oh, I see." After listening to Qin Xing's explanation, Di Renjie just responded noncommittally.

Qin Xing didn't know whether Di Renjie was happy or unhappy, and wanted to continue to pat a few words of sycophants to test it, but Di Renjie picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xing didn't speak, just stood quietly aside and pondered what he had just performed.

"Here's forty pennies, and you can take it. Ten Wen supplies Jixian Building, and the other thirty Wen you can collect by yourself. After eating and wiping the food in front of him, Di Renjie took out the money bag from his body and counted out forty yuan.

"A plate of Hu cakes, but it's just a small little heart, where can I collect money from adults." Qin Xing hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Di Renjie stretched out his finger and pointed at the copper coin, and said, "Qin Xing, you accept the money, what should be given to Jixian Lou will be given to Jixian Building, and what should be accepted by yourself will be accepted." ”

Although Qin Xing loves money, he doesn't want to accept this money, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "The little one understands what the county lieutenant means, or I will only charge ten wen and give the money from Jixian Building, as for the Hu cake, it is a small ......."

Before he finished speaking, Di Renjie frowned and said, "Take it." ”

Seeing that Di Renjie's face was dissatisfied, Qin Xing accepted the copper coins with some reluctance.

"I don't have anything to do here, you might as well go to Jixian Building and send the money over first." Seeing that Qin Xing accepted the copper coin, Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Yes, Lord County Lieutenant, the little one will be sent over." Qin Xing said and retreated.

"By the way, there's one more thing. Don't call me an adult in the future, just call me Lieutenant Di. Qin Xing had just turned around, and before he could reach the door, Di Renjie said this.

Qin Xing was stunned for a moment, so he had to turn around and say, "Yes, County Lieutenant Di." ”

The sycophant Dafa that was tried and tested repeatedly on Cao Mi failed on Di Renjie, judging from Di Renjie's final performance, he didn't even shoot the horse's legs. If I had to say it, it should have been photographed on the horse's hooves.

"A pot of wine, haggis, appetizers, two meatloaf." Qin Xing, who was a little depressed, went to Jixian Building and gave instructions to Xiao Er with a big grin.

Xiao Er poured tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Qin, the little one will immediately order the kitchen to prepare." ”

Qin Xing took the tea bowl and drank it after a few grunts, only then did he feel that the stuffiness in his heart was slightly relieved. "Huh? Why don't you go and urge the vegetables to be doing here, do you want the master to go to the kitchen to order. Qin Xing, who finally suppressed his frustration, immediately scolded angrily after seeing that Xiao Er did not move.

"That Qin Ye...... That ...... yours Isn't it ......"

"Hurry up and say something, swallow and spit out, believe it or not, the master will beat you!" Seeing Xiao Er's hesitation, Qin Xing was even more dissatisfied, slapped the table, and said viciously.
