Chapter 40: Harvesting the Big Fat Fish

Seeing Master Zhao's statement, Lu Ning was naturally happy in his heart, and he patted Zhao Rusong's shoulder and said.

"Changning County has a master like you, and I have a colleague like you, both of which are lucky things."

After going back, Lu Ning handed over everything in the county government to Zhao Zhushu to deal with on his behalf, and he plunged into the backyard and began to study fish feed.

Three days later, Lu Ning came out with a pot of fish feed and said to his housekeeper Fubo.

"Fu Bo, hurry up and invite Master Zhao, I want to discuss something important with him."

Fu Bo was indeed a little helpless, he glanced at Lu Ning, who had a scruffy beard and hadn't washed his face for a few days, and said.

"Young master, you were already the richest man in Changning County before, how carefree your life was at that time, and now you want to be this county order, I really feel a little distressed to see that you are haggard."

Lu Ning shook his head with a smile and said to Fu Bo.

"In the past, I was helping others, and now I am still helping others, whether it is to be an idle cloud crane or a county magistrate, my original intention has never changed, isn't this also very good."

Hearing this, Fu Bo could only sigh and go to ask Master Zhao to come over.

Lu Ning took advantage of this time to wash his face and shave his beard, and then waited here.

After listening to Fu Bo's description, Zhao Rusong was also full of admiration in his heart, and he rode a fast horse and came over directly.

Lu Ning directly handed over a pot of fish feed to him.

"This is the experiment I just developed, you can send it to Changle Township quickly, let the fishermen choose some fish to try first, if there is no effect within a month, it proves that I have failed."

Zhao Rusong looked at the haggard Lu Ning and said for a long time.

"County Zun, although you are diligent and love the people, you must also pay attention to your own body."

Lu Ning nodded, but his heart was full of helplessness, since he was already sitting in this position, he naturally had to do what this position should do.

Sure enough, a month later, the president of the Changle Township Fish Chamber of Commerce came to the county government and brought a few fatty fresh fish.

He clamored that he must see Lord Lu immediately and personally deliver these fish to express his gratitude.

After Lu Ning saw the president, he said to him very politely.

"I can accept this fish, but I must pay you according to the price, otherwise, everyone will send me things in the future, and I will not become an official who is greedy for ink."

The president hurriedly waved his hand, and he said to Lu Ning.

"If you really say this, you are tormenting the grass people and others, if it weren't for the fish feed you developed, where would such a fatty fresh fish come from, you are the reborn parents of our fishermen in Changle Township."

Lu Ning shook his head, and said in his heart You are forty or fifty years old, I am only eighteen, you give me the whole rebirth of parents, how old is this?

However, he said politely.

"Since this official is Changning County, it is his duty to order the people of Changning County to do things, you don't have to be polite, I accepted this fish, and I will show my cooking skills here today, and you will go back after eating."

The president glanced at the two people who had come with him, and they exchanged glances and decided not to refuse.

They also knew very well in their hearts that this Lord Lu was indeed a parent official who really did things for the people.

So when facing Lu Ning, they have a natural closeness from the bottom of their hearts.

Since this experiment had been successful, indicating that the fish feed was very effective, he told Master Zhao the secret recipe and asked him to produce it in large quantities.

For about two or three months, when Lu Ning was eating, Master Zhao suddenly broke in and said excitedly.

"County Zun, I just received a notice from the imperial court, saying that the fish in our Changning County are very fatty, and they have been selected by the imperial court as a special fish, and have been certified by the Ministry of Households, and the relevant awards and plaques will be sent to Changle Township in the near future."

Lu Ning smiled and nodded, with this honor, it can be regarded as well-deserved, and there is nothing false about it.

So, he said to Master Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, this can also make the people of our Changle Township rich all of a sudden, our hard work some time ago was not in vain, you and I have been officials for one term, and we have already benefited one party."

Master Zhao solemnly filled a glass of wine and said to Lu Ning.

"The people of Changning County are so fortunate, there was Liu Xianzun before, and now there are you, they are all people who can really do things for the people, they are blessed, I will toast you on behalf of the people of Changning."

Lu Ning took the wine and drank it all, then patted Master Zhao's shoulder and said.

"Brother Zhao, don't praise me, if you keep talking, I'm afraid I'm going to be embarrassed, it's just our duty."

Not long after, when Zhu Yuanzhang was eating fish, he suddenly felt that this fish was different from usual, and there was an indescribable sense of deliciousness.

So, he called the imperial chef and asked.

"This fish tastes a little interesting today, let's ask you, is there any difference in this cooking method today?"

The Imperial Chef replied cautiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, this cooking place has not changed, but this fish has changed, although it is just an ordinary grass carp, but it is a special fish."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled, and immediately asked.

"Did you get this fish from the land of fish and rice in Hangzhou? If that's the case, it's too much of a waste of money and waste. ”

The imperial chef laughed instead, and he said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smiling face.

"Your Majesty don't worry, in fact, this fish is specially supplied by Changning County, Changning is not far from here, so the fish sent here are still fresh, I heard that they have a county magistrate, their own developed fish feed, the fish will be particularly fatty and nutritious after eating."

Zhu Yuanzhang then remembered that this was the case.

I haven't been back to Changning for several months, so it's time to see that big nephew.
