Chapter 390 All Special Dishes

Zhou Miao drank the tasteless tea for a long time. She was already hungry and hungry. She didn't bother to say any polite words. She lifted her official uniform and stood up quickly.

"Master Liu, please lead the way."

"Ah, shall I ask Master to bring adults over for dinner?" Qingluo was a little embarrassed, "Our yamen is small, and we don't have enough money to feed and drink for many people, so we only prepared meals for adults alone."

The master's entourage and others who were following Zhou Miao's face fell down when they heard this.

Oh, although we are not adults, we came here with the magistrate anyway, you don't even provide a meal?

This county magistrate is too ruthless!

Lin Liu hurriedly came over: "By the way, Mr. Zhou went to the flower hall to eat, and the rest of the adults, I also prepared meals, and they are in the back office. Everyone, please follow me."

When they heard that the meal had been prepared, their complexions improved, but they all looked at Zhou Miao.

Zhou Miao was so hungry that she couldn't wait to wave her hand: "Go and eat!"

After getting permission, they followed Lin Liuchao to the back office.

Here Qingluo smiled and said: "Master Zhou, please?"

Although Zhou Miao was in a hurry, she still kept a straight face: "Could it be that Mr. Liu looks down on Zhou?"

"Eh?" Qingluo was puzzled, "My lord's words are frightening, how could this subordinate look down on Lord Zhou?"

Zhou Miao snorted: "Hmph, since that's the case, why doesn't Master Liu want to accompany me when I come here?"

"Oh--"

Qingluo was stunned, and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Zhou asks, then I'd rather be respectful than obedience."

Only then did Zhou Miao feel satisfied: "Let's go."

So Qing Luo and Lin Si led Zhou Miao to the flower hall in the backyard.

This flower hall is specially used for the county magistrate to entertain guests, and it is still some distance from her bedroom, so Su Xin and Gui Xiang did not appear.

She didn't have any other old women and women waiting to serve her, so it was only a few yamen servants who were busy serving dishes in the flower hall.

These yamen servants are rough and careless men, they giggled and finished serving the dishes, threw them on the table, and then retreated casually.

In addition, Guixiang and Suxin only arranged Qingluo's living place to be warm and comfortable, and they didn't care about other places at all.

So much so that this flower hall looks much shabby, to be precise, it is very shabby.

An Eight Immortals table, four locust wood chairs, a few calligraphy and paintings hanging around, and nothing else.

Not even the most common vase was placed.

Who made the former county magistrate Shen like to pretend to be clean?

Zhou Miao came over full of anticipation. When she saw this scene, her heart was half cold at the moment.

Looking at the table of the Eight Immortals again, the table is full, and it seems that there is meat and wine, well, it is barely passable.

He felt a little better, but he was still dissatisfied, and his complexion was a bit grim: "Although Mr. Liu was born as a commoner, he is also a Wen Kui handpicked by His Majesty after all. Why does he live in such a shabby place, and there is not even a maidservant at home?" ?”

He thought to himself, he didn't even have a handsome maid, so why would he have to pour wine for himself later?

But it's not easy for him to say these words directly, so he can only remind him by insinuating.

Qingluo just pretended that she didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou doesn't understand the hard work of our small households. Pingyang County is poor and remote, and the annual taxes are barely enough. Let's talk about the yamen servants, you just now I also saw that there are only a few people in total, what are they enough to do? They all despise me as a poor yamen. I haven’t paid my salary for a long time. I have to support my family, right? I can’t help it, I can’t force them, I must You want him to stay, Mr. Zhou, you don’t know..."

"Alright, alright!"

Zhou Miao interrupted her impatiently.

He came to enjoy the autumn breeze, but he was hungry for a long time and hadn't eaten yet, so he heard a lot of complaints from her first.

Didn't everyone say that this Liu Wenkui is a wonderful person!

Fortunately, he had just taken office, so he didn't go to other wealthy county government offices, so he ran to her first.

People are indeed elegant and refined, but how can this matter be so disturbing?
Is there anyone who pours out buckets of bitter water and complains when they first meet their boss?

Really!

Zhou Miao flicked her sleeves, went straight to the table and sat down.

When he looked down, he was almost out of anger!

What kind of dishes are in front of you!

Looking at the table from a distance, and looking at it up close, the plate that looks like meat is actually a plate of pickled vegetables!
But it is also set off with petals and leaves.

What the hell!

As for him and mom, a plate of pickled cabbage lumps that cost less than two cents, she still wants to garnish them with flower petals!

Zhou Miao almost vomited blood angrily.

He then took a look at the plate next to it that looked like steamed fish, it was nothing like steamed fish, it was clearly a plate of tofu!
A whole piece of tofu is carefully carved into the shape of steamed mandarin fish, and sprinkled with green shallots on top.

Isn't this tofu mixed with shallots?

Dare you be worth three pennies?

The carvings are really lifelike!

At this time, Zhou Miao already felt a little hopeless.

He looked weakly at the other sets.

There is no worse dish than pickles and tofu, right?

As a result, it really does exist!
That plate is dark, is it soy sauce mixed with scallions?
That red plate seems to be vinegar radish?
What the hell is that white mud-like dish!
There were others he didn't know at all, he only knew that they should be some wild vegetables or something.

Zhou Miao blinked hard.

He wondered if he had misread it, had his eyesight blurred, or was he simply blind today? !

How could an official bring such a table to entertain his boss?

He raised his head and looked at Qingluo in a daze, "These are the dishes I want to eat today?"

Qingluo held back her smile, and nodded solemnly: "Yes. Mr. Zhou is in a high position, and he must eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day. He must have been tired of eating. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, the shark's fin bird's nest Too much, but you will get gout!"

Zhou Miao: "Hehe, is that right?"

"That's right, my lord came to us all the way, so of course he has to entertain him with our most special dishes! Otherwise, what kind of sincerity is there?"

Qingluo was impassioned, "Look at this plate of tofu fish, the chef's knife skills are so flawed, this is our special dish, you usually don't see it outside!"

Tofu is right, but what about fish?fish too!

Could it be that if the tofu is carved in the shape of a fish, can he or mother pretend to be a fish?

Zhou Miao was so angry that she almost wanted to lift the table.

"Look again, my lord, this tender little radish is freshly pulled out from the ground, without anyone's hands, it goes straight to the dining table, fresh, clean and pollution-free!"

Zhou Miao: "Hehe!"

His eyes flicked to a beautiful wine jug in his hand.

Qingluo noticed it immediately: "Oh, I almost forgot, this is our most famous Zhuyeqing, a really good wine, do you want to try it?"
