Chapter 586 Opening a Restaurant

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu immediately shouted, "Prepare your horses, prepare your horses, I have to catch up quickly."

Yes. The boys responded and hurried to prepare their horses.

Not long after, the two horses were led to the yamen gate, and County Magistrate Xu and Master Tian hurriedly mounted their horses.

Xu Dexian studied with Zou Jiang for a period of time and benefited a lot. When he learned that Zou Jiang had left without saying goodbye, he immediately chased after him on horseback.

The literati of Da Chu pay attention to the Six Arts of the Gentleman, and riding and shooting is one of the must-learn lessons. Therefore, the three magistrates Xu are all able to ride horses. After chasing for three hours, they finally caught up with Zou Jiang's mule cart. .

Uncle, stay! Magistrate Xu shouted at the top of his lungs from a distance.

In the mule cart, Zou Jiang sneered. He used to call him a thief old man and an old fox, but now he knows his usefulness and calls him uncle.

He said to the driver: "Faster."

"Yes, sir." The coachman was Zou Jiang's newly purchased servant. He was taught to be very obedient by Zou Jiang. Hearing this, he immediately whipped the mule several times, causing the mule to howl and run wildly.

Xu County Magistrate is about to vomit blood, why does he keep running away as he screams?

Since the horses were faster than the mule cart, Xu County Magistrate and the others ran for about another quarter of an hour before finally getting in front of the mule cart and blocking its path.

Magistrate Xu got off his horse, rushed to the mule cart, and said, "Uncle Jiang, stay here and don't go back to your hometown to save Xu's life!"

Zou Jiang said in a slightly surprised voice: "Master Xu, why are you here? I heard that Master Xu is going to be promoted. In the future, his official career will be prosperous and he will be famous in history. Why do you need Jiang to save you?"

County Magistrate Xu was about to cry. After looking around and seeing that there was no one on the official road, he simply explained the situation he was facing and finally said: "Mr. Jiang is clever and resourceful. Only Mr. Jiang can help Mr. Xu." , save Xu from danger."

However, after hearing this, Zou Jiang said: "It is indeed not easy for Mr. Xu, but... why should I help Mr. Xu? Now Jiang just wants to return to his hometown to spend his old age. Jiang will pay back the money he owes the county government. There is no need for you to rush him." debt."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu almost choked to death and apologized hurriedly: "Mr. Jiang, I was the one who went too far in the past. I should not have misunderstood Mr. Jiang. I apologize to you. I hope you will ignore the past grudges and help the younger generation." .

Zou Jiang smiled: "Let's go then."

The mule cart started moving again, and Xu Dexian followed on horseback, running towards Luchang County.

Magistrate Xu finally felt relieved after successfully inviting Zou Jiang. He smiled and said to Master Tian, "Our lives are saved."

Ke smiled, then turned downcast, and asked Master Tian: "Do you remember what Jiang County Lieutenant said last night, asking me to invite Mr. Jiang last night to avoid any accidents?"

Master Tian: "I don't remember. You must have remembered it wrong. Lieutenant Jiang County probably didn't say this."

"No? Did you drink too much?" County Magistrate Xu muttered, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he seemed to have been tricked by Zou Jiang again, and County Lieutenant Jiang seemed to know about it.

Master Tian said with a serious face: "Sir, don't think too much. Let's go back quickly. We still have to ride a horse for three hours. It's already dark when we get back to the county town."

After hearing this, Magistrate Xu quickly mounted his horse and ran back to the county seat.

When he returned to the county seat, County Magistrate Xu also came to his senses. Damn it, he had indeed been tricked again.

But what can he do? Zou Jiang is indeed wise, courageous and capable, and he is a person who can help him.

After returning to the county seat, Magistrate Xu began to take Mr. Zheng to familiarize himself with various official affairs in the county.

In Dafeng Village, after Gu Jinli finished harvesting aphid grass, he began to think of new dishes and prepared to open a restaurant.

The Zou family's wealthy building is fully equipped with all facilities and does not need to be repaired at all. The kitchen is staffed by servants bought by Gu Daya. As long as new dishes are prepared and a few waiters are hired, the restaurant can be in time. Open before the winter solstice.

Mrs. Xia heard that she also had a copy of the restaurant in the town. As a show of goodwill, she asked Brother Cheng to give her a recipe book.

Ancient recipes are heirlooms and are secret recipes that are generally not given to outsiders, but Cheng Geer said: "The husband's wife said that this recipe should be given to our family."

Gu Jinli understood instantly and accepted the recipe. Looking through the dishes on it, he found... these dishes require expensive and wasteful ingredients to make. To make mutton, you have to kill a chicken to make a pot of thick soup first, and then Add the lamb to the chicken broth and simmer until cooked.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the restaurant in the town is not a banquet for the rich and powerful. Do you think it will close down just because it prepares such expensive dishes?
