Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 198 Four Courses Are All Soup
Liu Mu forgot to ask who went to the county magistrates of the two counties to do justice, but Qin Zheng didn't mention it either.

Speaking of the county magistrates of the two counties, they are officials, but Qin Zheng does not bow down in front of them, not to mention that Qin Zheng still enjoys the treatment from the sixth rank to the Wu San rank, and as the chief steward of the Duke of Yi, No lower than the county magistrate.

The next day, two magistrates who were not as good as Qin Zheng because of their status, one said nothing.

Another came, who would not be this notary at all.

Liu Mu was about to go forward to argue, but Gao Xingshi blocked Liu Mu: "Mr. Mu, if I'm here, I don't want to come, and I don't want to do this notarization."

"Why, isn't the county magistrate the parent officer of a county?"

"On one side are the ordinary people, and on the other side are the princess' mansion and the mansion of the state. Why do they bother, and why do you make things difficult for them."

With Gao Xing's explanation, Liu Mu really had nothing to say.

"Come on, go to Chang'an." After Liu Mu ordered, someone immediately went to prepare the carriage.

While Liu Mu got into the carriage, Cui Yiye put a piece of paper in front of Gao Xing, with the word failure written on it, and a gold leaf underneath.

Gao Xing thought for a while and waved his hand to refuse: "I also think he will fail. It is quite difficult to find a notary."

"That's right, nobles can invite a respected nobleman to be a notary, and commoners can invite Li Zheng, squires, and county officials to be notarized. But between nobles and commoners, there is no notary. Ye Xiaomin didn't understand, they thought it was the same as before."

After Cui Yiye finished speaking, Gao Xingxing expressed his approval, but there was also a little objection: "Yes, not all. At least the ordinary villagers understand that ordinary people cannot do this notarization, and the county magistrate is the most important official in their hearts. "

The two looked at each other and smiled, but saw that there was an extra gold leaf on the piece of paper.

Just as Dou Shikuan's hand left the piece of paper, Cui and Gao focused their eyes on Dou Shikuan's face.

"I bet he can find a notary, although it may not be a big shot."

Hahaha, Cui Yiye laughed loudly: "Okay, I bet with you."

Liu Mu went into Chang'an in a carriage, Cui Yiye didn't leave, Gao Xing was not at ease, so Gao Xing stayed.

Cui Yiye asked Dou Shikuan: "Aren't you going to see the result?"

"No, you will die if you go back to Chang'an." Dou Shikuan said with a wry smile.

"Perhaps." Cui Yiye seemed to agree with Dou Shikuan's statement.

Gao Xing was puzzled: "Why?"

Dou Shikuan lowered his head and did not speak. Cui Yiye thought for a while before approaching Gao Xing and said in a low voice, "Wei Zheng of the Prince's Mansion suspects that someone deliberately leaked the leather armor and knew about it." Cui Yiye stretched out his hands: "Nine people."

"What leather armor?" Gao Xingfeng didn't know whether he really didn't know, or he was just pretending to be confused.Cui Yiye did not explain further.

However, Dou Shikuan knew better than anyone that the leather armor matter was that under threat, he not only confessed what he knew, but also peeked at several confidential letters.

Dou Shikuan was very afraid, afraid that the Prince's House would find out about his betrayal.

"By the way, is what Liu Xianzi and the farmers did really useful?" Cui Yiye changed the subject on his own initiative.

"I don't know." Gao Xing shook his head.

Cui Yiye patted his palm lightly with a folding fan: "Right now, there are more important things."

Without waiting for Gao to ask questions, Cui Yiye ran to Liu Mu's chef: "What's your name?"

"If you go back to Mr. Lang, I am the second-class cook in the mansion. You can call me Qiu Er."

"Qiu Er, my son asked a few small things. First, is there a first-class chef? Then there is a very important question, how many kinds of dishes there are. Finally, there is an even more important question, where is the first-class chef."

Qiu Eryi cupped his hands: "Lang Jun, there are only two first-class cooks. They were both sent away yesterday afternoon. One went to Huayuan to cook for the saint, and the other was sent to the princess mansion. Here is a recipe, including several It was all unheard of and the ingredients were very limited.”

There is a menu.

Ninety percent of Cui Yiye couldn't understand it, and didn't know what it was.

Qiu Er said again: "Lang Jun, what a second-class chef would do, only the first half page of this menu, I haven't seen the rest."

"Tonight, these four." Cui Yiye casually ordered the first four dishes, which he couldn't figure out.

Qiu Er took the menu with both hands, and Cui Yiye ordered the four dishes with his fingers.Qiu Er bowed and asked, "Lang Jun, are you sure?"

"Of course." Cui Yiye nodded firmly.

"Yes." Qiu Er withdrew the menu, since the gentleman is sure, what else can he say.

After Cui Yiye left, Qiu Er took out the menu and looked at it again, and read in a low voice: "Baby vegetables in soup, raw boiled meatballs, bad egg balls, pork ribs, lotus root and beans." After reading, he muttered He said: "The nobleman still likes soup."

Not far away, Cui Yiye got on his horse and said to Gao Xing and Dou Shikuan: "Let's go and see Mu Langjun's other fields. In the evening, I have ordered the cook to prepare. My son personally picked four very special dishes. Mode."

"That's something to look forward to." Gao Xingchen answered with a smile.

The fields of willows, from Sanyuan to Jingyang, and then to part of Li Ji's field in Gaoling, belonged entirely to him. There were less than [-] mu where he could barely grow something, and the rest was wasteland.

There is no fence added to the field, so anyone who wants to come and see is welcome.

"Weird, weird." Cui Yiye turned around for a long time, this was the first time he said weird.

"Does it mean that the cabbage is tied with hemp rope?" Gao Xing asked.

"There is this, but this place is even weirder." Cui Yiye dismounted while speaking, and stopped by the water.Gao Xingfu also followed, and he was surprised at the first glance: "With Mr. Mu Lang's temperament, all the fields are carefully planted, why are these dozens of acres of paddy fields so deserted?"

This field is called wild rice field.

It is the shallow water area near the water, and the water depth is no more than half a foot.In September, wild rice can be harvested, which is a kind of ancient grain.

Cui Yiye saw that someone was taking care of the field and asked his servants to call him over.

"Your Majesty, do you have an order?" The visitor respectfully stood aside with his hands down.

"Let me ask you, does this paddy field belong to Mr. Miharaki?"

"This is the paddy field of Princess Changping's Mansion. I am Mu Xiaolang Jun, farmer Guan Jingyang No. 19, a farmer."

"Ask you again, but there are no flowers and seeds in this field, are you waiting for negligence?" Cui Yiye asked again.

The farm worker just replied: "This field was only rated as excellent half a month ago."

The fact that he was rated as excellent proved that he took good care of the field. After answering this question, the farm worker did not explain why the field did not bloom and bear seeds.

"No flowers, no seeds." Cui Yiye asked very directly.
