Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 34 Your Highness, please pardon the crime of disrespect for officials first!
In the back hall of the Wanping county government office, it was originally the place where Guo An, the county magistrate, lived.

Naturally, there is also a small kitchen for cooking in the back hall of the county government office.

After eating the food from the county government a few times, Guo An never went to eat the food cooked by the cook in the county government again.

As long as the office was late every day, Guo An would ask Erniang Guo, the cook in the house, to come over and eat in the back hall of the county office at noon.

Therefore, after waiting for more than half an hour.

Two delicious dishes of leek, egg and rice were served on the dining table, together with a bowl of glutinous rice porridge, it was Guo An, the magistrate's lunch!

"Your Highness, please!"

Guo An said something to Zhu Di, and then directly moved his chopsticks.

Although there is no chili pepper, after Guo Erniang and Guo An's improvement over a period of time, the taste of this meal of scrambled eggs with leeks is no less than that made by some chefs in later generations!
Don't have a taste.

Perhaps, it is also possible that Guo An has eaten the 'pig food' in the yamen, oh no, it should be 'pig food'.

By comparison, I feel that the meals made by my own Guo Erniang are so delicious!
After one bite, it never stopped.

As for Zhu Di, who was sitting opposite Guo An, although he was a little dissatisfied that Guo An, the thief officer in front of him, invited him to lunch, he only ate such a meal, which was rice mixed with leeks and eggs.

Could it be that this bandit official wants to show his incorruptibility to the king of Yan?

However, after the whole morning, he was still hungry.

Therefore, after seeing how delicious Guo An's food was, he couldn't help it, so he lifted the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.

After taking a sip, Zhu Di's eyes straightened.

He stopped and pawed in the bowl with chopsticks for a long time, but the result was still as he saw.

Damn it, such an ordinary bowl of lunch is so delicious!
Immediately, he ate voraciously.

Zhu Di, who has been polished in the military camp since he was a child, eats at a speed that Guo An, a later generation, can't match.

Therefore, when Guo An finished eating and wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, he saw that Zhu Laosi who was opposite him was staring at him.

"Uh, Your Highness? The little official has a fairy beauty painted on his face, why is His Highness staring at the lower official with such an expression?"

"Pooh!"

Zhu Di's eyes widened directly, and he spat on the ground with disgust on his face.

"You thief officer, you are disgusting to this king!"

"I know I was wrong!" Guo An apologized very simply.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted arrogantly, and then asked again: "I ask you, you thief official invited me to dinner, and you only eat such a dish of rice?"

"Your Highness is not full?"

Guo An was taken aback, and quickly shouted outside: "Miss Guo, is there any rice left?"

A chubby head stuck out from outside, it was Guo Erniu.

"Hehe, young master forgive me, all the food in the pot is in the villain's bowl. If the young master is not full, the villain will ask Erniang to cook again!"

"You bastard, I didn't see His Highness King Yan was there, so I didn't leave some for His Highness, what if His Highness didn't have enough to eat!"

Guo An couldn't help laughing and cursing, "Hurry up and tell the cook that His Royal Highness Yan Wang is not full yet, so please ask the cook to cook another meal!"

"Wait a minute, master, the villain is going!" Guo Erniu was overjoyed.

"no need!"

Zhu Di said: "This king is already full, so don't bother the cook anymore!"

"This……"

Hearing this, Guo Erniu looked at Guo An with some reluctance.

"You foodie, two bowls of rice are not enough for you? Don't bother Guo's second wife!"

"Yes, Master!"

Guo Erniu responded with a regretful face, and slowly turned and left.

Seeing this, Guo An turned his head, slightly embarrassed to salute Zhu Di.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, this guard, Xiaguan, is a piece of shit, he knows how to eat all day long!"

Zhu Di asked with some doubts: "Does he eat the same food as me?"

"Your Highness, the meals are all made in the same big iron pot, so naturally they all eat the same food!" Guo An replied.

Zhu Di asked again: "Do the officials in the county government eat like this?"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness is joking, the officials in the county yamen naturally eat the meals cooked by the cooks of the county yamen, and the meals for the lower officials are made by the cooks in the lower officials' mansion!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression gradually darkened.

"Are you using power for personal gain?"

Guo An smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I am very afraid of death when I urinate. I know that Your Majesty hates corrupt officials, and I will never dare to be greedy.

As for all the food and seasonings for Xiaguan's meals, Xiaguan bought them with his own salary! "

"How dare you lie to me, a thief officer? How much salary do you have a month for a small magistrate? The ingredients used for such delicious rice must be expensive.

I'm afraid your salary is not enough for you to eat alone, plus your guard? "

Zhu Di didn't believe it.

Guo An added: "His Royal Highness, there are actually the cooks of the lower officials. The servants in the lower official's mansion are not as complete as those of the lower officials, but they are almost the same!"

Zhu Di was furious: "Fuck your mother, you thief officer is really deceiving me!"

Guo An remained calm, "Your Highness, don't worry, I really didn't deceive Your Highness. Although the taste of these meals is unique, the ingredients and seasonings used are all commonly used in the market.

It's just that when Xiaguan cooks cook, they use more condiments, and with the unique secret recipe, the meals they make are very delicious.

Moreover, not only does the lower official have a salary every month, but also some money from the old father at home, which is enough for the lower official to eat. "

Zhu Di calmed down, "You thief officer really didn't deceive the king?"

Guo An looked aggrieved, "Your Highness, I have been wronged. Since I was recommended to be the Boss of Wanping County, I have never deceived Your Highness, let alone deceived my superiors and my subordinates. As a thief officer, you still don’t trust the subordinates so much?”

Zhu Di said: "You thief officer, in just a few months, how many big tricks have I cheated on you, and how many good things have been cheated from me? Is it wrong for me to call you a thief officer?"

Guo An looked serious, "Your Highness does not allow His Highness to be so self-deprecating. Your Highness loves the people like a child, so he agrees to some small requests from this lower official. How could he be fooled?"

"Your mother, you thief officer..."

To Guo An's rogue words, Zhu Di was speechless.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "You have always said that you are not greedy for ink, but why did you still allow those village chiefs to borrow more food for you today at the Zao Ya?"

"May I ask Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

"Don't give me a sloppy eye, or I will punish you for disrespect!" Zhu Di looked solemn.

Guo An said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for the crime of disrespect first, so that I dare not say anything!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An firmly.

"Your Highness, I still want to work hard until retirement, enjoy a good life, and don't want to be convicted and killed early!" Guo An said firmly.

"Okay, no matter what you say today, the king will forgive you!" Zhu Di said.

"Your Highness can't say anything!"

"You thief officer, this king agrees!"
