"My lord, are you satisfied with what this cook has made?"

The master asked cautiously.

Li Xianling didn't squint, and his tone was surprisingly flat: "It's okay!" ”

Although it was a short three words, the people who served him had long been ready to take the silver to reward Mu Qiange.

It's rare to see that the adults in their family have such a good appetite, and it's not easy to eat so much today. This chef should be rewarded.

Mu Qiange, who was waiting for news outside, didn't expect to get the reward so quickly, and the heavy weight in his hand seemed to be quite a lot. She just made some of her best homely meals, but she didn't expect to really be able to enter the appetite of Li County.

The silver rewarded by the county government is enough for the countryside to eat for half a year.

"The county master is really generous, too generous." Mu Qiange shook his head and muttered a few words, then planned to go back. Her purpose is not for the little silver in her hand, but for more silver, as long as she can enter the appetite of the county master, her goal will be a big step forward.

She put away the money and was about to go out, but she didn't take a few steps until she was stopped by a servant.

"Girl, please stay, my family is invited."

"Are you my Lord Li and want to see me?"

The official nodded, and Mu Qiange followed behind, bowing his head, and walking cautiously behind the officer.

The county government was very large, and the official took Mu Qiange around and around, and walked about half a cup of tea before coming to the courtyard of Li County Order.

Seeing Li Xianling's study, the official who led the way stopped at the door and let Mu Qiange go in by himself.

Li Xianjin was sitting in front of the desk to deal with official business, and when he saw Mu Qiange coming in, he immediately raised his head, and a sincere smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Girl, don't be too restrained, come in and sit."

Mu Qiange walked in and sat on the chair a little twisted, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't sit steadily.

"Girl, where are you from?"

Although Li Xianjin lowered his head to review the official documents, he still paid attention to Mu Qiange's every move.

"I'm from Whitewater Village, and my family has been badly affected by heavy snowfall in the village, so I came to the city to earn a living.

"Ewha Village?"

Li Xianling put down the pen in his hand, and his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, "Isn't that a small village more than ten miles away from here?" ”

"Yes, Li County Ling remembers clearly."

Seeing that Mu Qiange was very restrained in the face of herself, Li Xianling quipped: "The girl doesn't have to be so restrained, I'm not a tiger who can't eat people, you just let it go." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qiange sneered, "It is not an exaggeration to say that Li County Order is a tiger, the tiger is the king of the forest, and Li County Order is our food and clothing parent official, we are both respectful and afraid of you." ”

Her remarks made Li Xianjin laugh, "You are a young girl, how can you mention that the fierce tiger is not timid, this courage is still admirable." It's just that the girl is so old this year, is there anyone else in the family? ”

I'm almost sixteen years old this year, and my family ...... There is also a distant cousin, but he may be in the capital. ”

Every time he thought of Ah Jin, the light in Mu Qiange's eyes gradually dimmed a little, and Li Xianling acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and he was still reading the official document by himself.

"Not yet sixteen."

Li Xianling glanced up at her, and there was a bit of a smile in his eyes. "I didn't expect to be young, but my cooking skills are excellent."

"Thank you for the compliment, the adult praised it."

"Girl's name?"

Li Xianling realized that he had asked a lot, why didn't he even know her name.

"My name is Mu Qiange."

"Mu Qiange, good name, I think your parents are talented and learned."

After Li County's order was finished, Mu Qiange stopped answering.

She didn't know how to answer, she couldn't tell him that she was kicked out, and her father was the prime minister!

For a long time, there was silence in the room.

Seeing that there was no follow-up, Li Xianling couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand again, looked up at her with a smile.

"You can't have snuck out of the house, are you?"

Mu Qiange coughed lightly in embarrassment, "I'...... I didn't sneak out, and I came out with the consent of my parents this time, but because I had a better relationship with my cousin since I was a child, only my cousin knew the news of my arrival in Baishui Village. ”

"It's really not easy for a girl to live abroad, it just so happens that our county government also lacks a cook, who can take care of food and housing, do you think you can move over tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Mu Qiange shook his head and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, it's my honor to be able to go into the county government to cook a homely meal for adults today, but I also run a tavern in the city, and it's only because the business has just started that I have these leisure time." ”

"So that's the case, I didn't expect Miss Qiange to be so powerful."

Li Xianling nodded: "Since this is the case, I won't embarrass the girl." It's just that I prefer lighter meals, and the food you cook is really to my liking. ”

Seeing that Li County's order said so, Mu Qiange did not refuse, she smiled and said: "My lord, if you don't think so, I will make the daily lunch and let my eldest brother send it to you, so that we can save time and effort." ”

Li Xianling shook his head and said, "Since the girl has her own career to be busy, there is no need to be so troublesome, just come and cook a few meals when you have time." ”

"What the adults said is, then I will thank the adults for their understanding."

Mu Qiange stood up and saluted slightly.

Li Xianling's eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes inadvertently swept over the jade pendant tied around her waist, and the corners of his lips hooked up a meaningful smile.

"It's past lunch time now, and I won't be too busy if I want to come to your tavern, this official has a great conversation with you, why don't you sit down and talk to me about walking!"

Mu Qiange had no choice but to listen to Li County's words and sit on the chair again.

"Miss Qiange, you just said that you still have a cousin, so your family must be either rich or expensive!"

Hearing this, Mu Qiange frowned, "Why do you say this?" ”

Li Xianling smiled and pointed to the jade pendant she hung on her waist, "This jade pendant is crystal clear, it is an excellent jade pendant at a glance, I have a feeling of déjà vu, but there are not many merchants who can sell this kind of jade pendant, so I can guess that your family must be an unusual family!" ”

Mu Qiange seemed to be told the central matter, and awkwardly stroked a strand of broken hair from his ear, "This jade pendant is not mine, it was given to me by my cousin." ”

"Oh, I see."

Li Xianling's hand to sort out the official documents paused, and a flash of light flashed quickly in his eyes.

Mu Qiange looked at the sky, she had been out for some time, and she couldn't help but get up and say goodbye.

"I've been gone for a while today, and I'll come back tomorrow to see you."

Li Xianling nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I still have something to give to the girl." ”

Li Xianling slapped his hands a few times, and saw two officials coming in with a wooden plaque, covered with a red cloth.

"Master Li, what is this?"

"You just said that you opened a tavern, and I will give you a plaque, which can be regarded as a reward for you."

After Li Xianling finished speaking, he picked up the brush in his hand and wrote four big characters vigorously, and signed his signature in the lower right corner, and waited for the pen and ink to dry completely, before letting people bind this piece of paper in the plaque.

"Lord Li's gift today, Qiange will repay it in the future."

Li Xianling shook his head and smiled: "It's not a big gift, as long as you like it." ”

After Mu Qiange thanked Li County Commander again, he left the county government with two officials carrying plaques.

It's just that as soon as she stepped out on the front foot, Li County Ling on the back foot ordered the master to let go of a white carrier pigeon.

Mu Qiange went back with these officials carrying the plaques, and attracted a lot of side eyes on the way.

"Girl, our lord ordered you to hang the plaque."

"Then it's a few troubles."

Mu Qiange asked Da Yang to find a ladder, and several officials hung up the plaque.

"Yikes! Isn't this a newly opened tavern? How can you still get the appreciation of the county magistrate, it seems to be good. ”

Passerby B nodded, agreeing with Passerby A's statement.

"Yes, the drunken incense building on the opposite street is an old signboard, and there is no county order to give a word or anything, it seems that this tavern must be outstanding."

Passerby glanced at the four big words on the plaque, and his face flashed with appreciation, "Since it is a tavern that is appreciated by the county magistrates, let's all go in and cheer it on!" ”

"Okay!"

The crowd of onlookers saw that the front had entered the store, and the people behind were not to be outdone.

Seeing that there were so many guests, Da Yang didn't react for a while, Mu Qiange pulled Da Yang who was stunned, "I'm going to the kitchen to be busy now, you greet the guests inside." ”

"Good...... Okay, you go quickly, I'll greet the guests here. ”

Da Yang glanced at the guests in the store, overjoyed, and hurriedly welcomed people in: "Our store has all kinds of lo-mei, cold dishes, stir-fried dishes, and wine, everything is complete, what do you need to have?" ”

The guests at the first table were happy, waved their hands and said: "Cut all kinds of meat into a plate, and then have two jars of good wine, remember, the amount of meat must be sufficient, and the wine must be fragrant, not enough conditions."

Cut all kinds of meat into a plate, and bring two jars of good wine. Remember, the meat should be full and the wine should be strong. If it's not fragrant, it's not strong, but you don't have to give money! ”

Da Yang's eyes smiled: "You don't know!" Our tavern is not only generous, but also delicious, guaranteed to be enough! In addition, the wine is the best daughter red, and there are bamboo leaves green, so you can drink the fairy of the race. ”

Let's talk about it, learn to sing like I used to watch others run to the hall: "All kinds of meat come to the first one, and the best bamboo leaves and daughter red come to three altars each!" ”

After greeting the guests, Da Yang hurriedly went to the back kitchen to help, squeezed his eyebrows at Mu Qiange, lowered his voice, and was full of pride: "Qiange, what's the matter, did I look decent just now?" ”

"Don't say it, it's like that."

Mu Qiange packed a few plates of marinated braised pork, took a few jars of wine and put them on the countertop, and said: "Business will be so good in the future, hurry up and see if there are any cooks willing to help." ”

"If business is as good as it is today, you have to hire a cook to help, otherwise you will not be busy."

Da Yang gave a little funny thumbs up, and she couldn't help laughing, "Okay, the guests are still waiting, hurry up and send the food and wine over."

"Okay!"

Da Yang first brought out the food, and then came back with the wine, came to the guests, poured the wine, and talked and laughed with them.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the store was warm and harmonious.

When Mu Qiange finished working in the back kitchen, he came to the front hall to help, and when he saw Da Yang looking decent, he couldn't help but smile.

If it is really as I guessed, if I can have a little intersection with the government, the business of the tavern will flourish if I leave a fragrance in my mouth.

A wave of customers in the store left, and then another wave came, Mu Qiange and Da Yang were a little tired and couldn't straighten their waists, but after closing late at night, the two were still a little overjoyed to see the first pot of gold harvested.
