At the same time, what is more troublesome is that he forgot to eat morning food today, what if he makes a fool of himself later?

Others didn't know what Du Mingzhao was thinking about at the moment, and they were all thinking about what Cui Zhiyun was going to say today.

If memory serves, they only finished discussing a major event yesterday, and the specific rules have not yet been issued. Originally, they were going to do this work today, but now it seems that they have other things to do.

Choi Zhiyun was writing something on a piece of paper while observing everyone who entered the door.

When all the people he asked to arrive appeared, he immediately stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at the crowd standing in front of him, and said:

"I invited you here early this morning to discuss something."

Hearing this, everyone present had a certain amount of psychological preparation, bowed their heads slightly, and signaled that Cui Zhiyun could speak freely.

Cui Zhiyun looked at this scene and immediately continued: "It's for the sake of what I said yesterday about opening up sources and reducing expenditures." According to the Ministry of Households, in addition to the restrictions on the amount of money supplied to the fish of each division, your monthly income may also be affected to a certain extent, and the boats of our water supervisors will be repaired regularly.

Yesterday, after the official integrated and compared the various expenses that our company needs every year, he found that we have a lot of shortfalls in silver this year. ”

As soon as they heard this, the people present immediately became angry, and kept scolding the people in the household department in their hearts for not doing anything, and even the one who muttered loudly.

"Just because when we were managing the transportation, we found a trader who transferred smuggled salt, and we had to control all the money of our water supervisor, so could it be that people from the household department were involved in the smuggling salt case?"

"What you say makes sense, how can a person who is not weak-hearted act like this? Isn't that just a way to leave us with a handle? ”

"A certain person from the household department may not have been given a gunman, and he was the first to charge into battle, Cui Jiancheng is not the kind of person who swallows his anger."

"So what else can I do? What if that's what Choi Sang meant? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent, and the more they looked at the previous relationship between the Cui family's father and son, the more they looked at it, the more they didn't understand.

Just as everyone's discussion was about to start again, and there was a sound of chirping from inside the door, suddenly someone shouted outside the door:

"Cui Jiancheng, the household member Wailang Xiao Yuanwailang has something to see."

"Come in."

Xiao Jie didn't expect that as soon as he pushed the door open, there were so many people inside, which directly scared his already trembling heart to pieces.

The raised feet also stayed in mid-air, and they couldn't get off their feet for a long time, feeling that as long as they entered this space, it seemed that they were going to be torn apart by the red-eyed monsters inside.

But thinking of the squire's instructions before he came, he had to continue to walk in under the disgusted eyes of the people of the capital water prison.

Walked to the most central position in the room and bowed to Cui Zhiyun, "Meet Cui Jiancheng." ”

At the same time, the officials standing on the side of the water supervisor also took this opportunity to give Xiao Jie.

Cui Zhiyun's face was flat, as if he couldn't see Xiao Jie's embarrassment at this time, "What affairs does the household department need to convey from Xiao Yuanwailang?" ”

"Cui Jian Cheng Mingjian, yesterday's release of the treasury money is not enough to pay the regulations, it is the result of the household department after checking the future expenditure of the government treasury and thinking twice, and I ask Cui Jian Cheng to forgive me."

"The treasury is in difficulty, so we should share the worries of the saints."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jie immediately nervously wiped the invisible beads of sweat on his forehead, and a weak smile appeared on his face.

"Or Cui Jiancheng understands the difficulties of our waiting, so our household department specially sent the monthly salary of the capital water supervisor for the next year, if Cui Jiancheng has no objections, he will leave first."

This kind of behavior of knocking a stick hard and sending a sweet date over can be regarded as disgusting to the officials standing aside.

Everyone looked at Xiao Jie's eyes with more and more heat and disgust, as if they wanted to see Tobe's disgusting face from him.

Cui Zhiyun's face did not change, and accepted the gift of the household department, which was not a gift, and nodded in agreement:

"Since Xiao Yuanwailang has already done the work, let's leave by myself first, our officials still have official business to discuss."

"Many... Thank you, Eunuch Choi. ”

Xiao Jie didn't know why, looking at Cui Zhiyun's bland eyes, he would be more scared than feeling the gaze behind him.

Trying to control his legs, which were already paralyzed, he struggled to walk in the direction of the door, for fear that if he slowed down, he would be left in the capital water prison.

And roared in his heart: next time, there will be absolutely no next time, he will never come to the capital water supervisor to deal with Cui Jiancheng's terrifying gaze.

As soon as Xiao Jie went out, the voices of everyone's dissatisfaction immediately sounded in the room.

"Who does this household think of us as water supervisors? Is it a place where you can come and go when you want? ”

"Even if we take everyone's monthly salary, we can't fill the gap in the supply of live fish to the divisions."

"What should we do now?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Cui Zhiyun, who was sitting across from him.

"There is still no progress in the case of illegal salt, and I don't want the random associations in everyone's hearts to affect innocent people. Therefore, it is not necessary to link the actions of the Ministry of Household Affairs with the case of smuggling salt. The fishing ban and the reduction of fish supply discussed yesterday are to reduce expenditure, so what do you think? ”

Hearing the cold and majestic voice, everyone immediately snuffed out the little Jiujiu that had just emerged in their hearts.

Then his thoughts flew and he began to think according to the direction given by Cui Zhiyun.

But as a reader, how can you have any good way to "open source", and the one that does not smell copper is already a leader.

Cui Zhiyun's gaze swirled back and forth on each tangled face, and soon he noticed that Du Mingzhao's expression was a little different from the others.

Seeing that the space was so silent that almost half an hour had passed, he said helplessly: "Everyone leaves, go back and think about it carefully." Du Zhushu left, and there is still something to discuss with you alone. ”

"No."

As soon as everyone heard that they could escape this tense space, they responded in unison, disappearing into the eyes of the two of them at an alarming speed.

Du Mingzhao felt that his eyes were hit again, and he looked at the people walking out, and was reluctant to look away.

Cui Zhiyun still couldn't stand it, and asked: "I just noticed that Master Du's expression is different from others, do you already have any good methods in your heart?" ”

"The contemptible opinion is afraid that it will stain Cui Jiancheng's ears."

"Let's listen to it, if you can really develop new roads, Du Zhushu is also a great achievement."

Hearing this, Du Mingzhao's hesitant expression instantly became firm, and he blurted out: "Can Cui Jiancheng ever think about buying and selling other river freshmen in the canal?" ”

Cui Zhiyun frowned as he looked at Du Mingzhao's mouth that was wide open as he spoke, and he felt that he needed to react.

After the ban is issued, the number of fish they are allowed to catch will be strictly controlled, so this is certainly not what Du Mingzhao is talking about.

The only things that people in the river still love to eat are soft-shelled turtles, crabs and river shrimp in the river, but these three ingredients are a relatively special ingredient, and the audience is not wide.

As for the snails, mussels, and clams that can still be seen in the river, they have no audience.

Therefore, he looked at Du Mingzhao, who was a little entangled, and said: "Every year from April to June, it is the fishing ban period stipulated by our dynasty, and this year it has only expanded the area a little. If Master Du has any thoughts in his heart that he shouldn't have, he advises you to stop it in time. ”

Du Mingzhao knew that Cui Zhiyun had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and quickly explained:

"I don't want to know the law and break the law, we definitely can't violate the regulations of the fishing ban period, I just think that when the river fish are recuperating, can we eat the river fresh that is harmful to agriculture and can be eaten?"

"You mean ......"

Cui Jiancheng was right, he was talking about the red crayfish he saw last time along the shores of Bashui. This thing was carved by Zheng Niangzi's skillful hands and immediately became a supreme delicacy. Yesterday, I mistakenly entered the banquet of the fish masters, and happened to see that the table was eating red crayfish.

At first, I was hesitant to think about the appearance and habits of this thing, but I thought that in case this thing could really be cut by eating it. With a ruthless heart, I immediately put a red crayfish in my mouth, and the taste was simply ......."

Cui Zhiyun looked at Du Mingzhao's expression when he spoke, and only felt that his eyes were polluted.

Immediately avoiding his gaze, he began to dissect the red crayfish in his memory, and according to the list of water supervisors, he felt that this thing was very similar to the crab.

But his own impression of the food made by the crab was really not too good, so he couldn't understand Du Mingzhao's expression and praise.

However, he also thought that the encroachment of red crayfish on farmland, if it could really be solved by using this method as Du Mingzhao said, it would be a good thing for them to be water supervisors and ordinary people.

After thinking clearly, he interrupted Du Mingzhao to continue describing how delicious the red crayfish were last night, and instructed:

"Since you said that the red crayfish taste so delicious, let Mrs. Zheng make all the flavors of red crayfish, and taste one or two. If what you said is true, a certain will reward Zheng Niangzi, and at the same time, it will also give you a credit. ”

Du Mingzhao immediately raised the corners of his mouth in surprise, and said embarrassedly:

"I just followed a little bit of the fish master's food, this matter has little to do with it, Cui Jiancheng still rewarded Zheng Niangzi. So go and tell Mrs. Zheng the good news, and today will definitely let Jian Cheng taste the deliciousness of red crayfish. ”

After speaking, he immediately saluted Cui Zhiyun excitedly, turned around and ran in the direction of the public kitchen.

Du Mingzhao, who was running, seemed to have a rabbit in his chest, and kept jumping in the middle of his chest.

He didn't know if he was happy because he was rarely praised by Cui Jiancheng, or if he was happy when he thought that he could eat red crayfish whenever he wanted in the future.

I quickly ran to the kitchen courtyard, quickly sorted out my clothes, and then walked in the direction of the kitchen with unhurried steps.

As soon as Liu Xingyan saw the official coming, he immediately stood up, stepped forward with a smile, and shouted:

"I don't know what important things Master Du commands? Or what you want to eat for lunch, you can tell me and wait, and you will definitely arrange the best food for Master Du. ”

Du Mingzhao glanced at Liu Xingyan and shouted, "Go and call Zheng Niangzi out, Cui Jiancheng has something to do with her." ”

As soon as he heard the words "Cui Jiancheng", Liu Xingyan felt that his brain was about to run out, and he didn't know how the other party knew that there was such a person as the chef and Zheng Wan.

But he didn't dare to delay Du Mingzhao's errand, his face smiled like a flower, and complimented:

"The little one is going to call Mrs. Zheng out, and it just so happens that Mrs. Zheng will be busy in the back kitchen."

After speaking, he shook his fleshy body and hurriedly ran in the direction of the back kitchen.

It just so happened that Zheng Wan also restored the kitchen to its original state, if Liu Xingyan wanted to use it, she could start preparing lunch now, she wiped the water droplets on her hands, heard a rush of footsteps, and immediately looked up in the direction of the door.

I saw Liu Xingyan with a flattering smile on his face and shouted: "Zheng Niangzi, hurry up!" Outside, Master Du is looking for something for you, you go out and have a look. ”

"Thank you Chef Liu for telling me."

I don't know why, when he heard that Du Mingzhao was looking for something about him, Zheng Wan suddenly thought of the morning food, and after Niu Xinlu told him, Du Mingzhao had been muttering about letting him help prepare the banquet after he was drunk yesterday.

Prepared, naturally not nervous, she walked out of the door according to her accustomed steps.

But in Liu Xingyan's eyes, he was like a turtle crawling, wishing that he could walk for Zheng Wan, and his expression changed from joy to worry.

As soon as Zheng Wan went out, Du Mingzhao automatically greeted him and shouted, "Zheng Niangzi, find a cleaner place to talk." ”

"No."

Zheng Wan immediately took Du Mingzhao to the position where the front and back yards were connected, and said, "Does Master Du have any important orders?" ”

Du Mingzhao deliberately glanced at his surroundings before speaking, lowered his voice and said:

"Please help me. Cui Jiancheng hopes that the lady can show all her strength and make all flavors of red crayfish. If the lady's craftsmanship is praised even by Cui Jian Cheng, in the future, we will promote the red crayfish for the people of Luoyang City to enjoy, and the lady will also get a valuable reward. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Wan's eyes brightened more and more, and when he heard that he would receive a valuable reward, his eyes turned into a round bead.

Then with Du Mingzhao's expectant eyes, he nodded heavily and replied: "This matter is on Er'er, and Cui Jiancheng will definitely not be disappointed." ”

"With the words of the lady, I am relieved. The lady who needs the ingredients can send someone to buy them, but I don't know if there are still red crayfish? Just go and tell one or two fishmen. ”

"Yes, this morning when the cattle fish master was fishing, he caught a little more by the way."

As soon as Du Mingzhao heard "a little," he immediately thought of the "a little" in their mouths during the meal yesterday, and asked curiously:
