Chapter 133

"Yes, cooking." Fang Shanding stressed: "it's the county magistrate's banquet. If you go there, you can see the county magistrate. If you can get to know the county magistrate, you will have a backer in Qinghe County in the future."

Ye Xiaoxian felt that Fang Shanding had no problem. She bowed to the other Shanding: "thank you for your recommendation. When will the county magistrate give a banquet?"

Fang Shanding stroked his beard: "just these days. I'll inform you two days before the banquet so that you have time to prepare food materials. In addition, I'll contact shiye for reimbursement of the expenses at that time."

"Thank you, my Lord." Ye Xiaoxian saluted again.

I thought Fang Shanding said he should go when he was finished, but he still stood there and looked at Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian thought he was going to eat, so she said, "Sir, what would you like to eat today? Why don't you have dinner in the elegant room upstairs?"

Fang Shanding shook his head and said, "it's all right. I have something else to do. I won't eat today."

"The slave's family sends you off."

“……”

After Fang Shanding left, Li Hongmei hurried over and asked, "why did you come today?"

"Niang, you are really worried. Lord Fang said that the county magistrate would give a banquet later and wanted me to be the chef. I promised. Niang, don't we have no backers in the county? If we can get to know the county magistrate, we will take care of many things in the future, don't you?"

Li Hongmei was also surprised: "ah, that's it. So it seems that I'm worried too much. Did you promise?"

"Yes, Lord Fang said. I'll be informed two days before the banquet. I'll just go there at that time."

Ye Xiaoxian said again, "Mom, before we go to help the county magistrate cook dinner, let's invite uncle and third uncle to have dinner. It's better to arrange it the day after tomorrow. Baoshan is expected to come back that day."

Although Li Hongmei was reluctant, she still followed Ye Xiaoxian.

……

When Wang Mudan and Chen Ju heard that ye Xiaoxian was going to treat, they didn't believe it.

Wang Mudan snorted coldly, "Ye Xiaoxian's little hoof doesn't want to poison the food? She wants to poison us!"

Chen Ju was frightened: "sister-in-law, is what you said true? You really want to poison us, but what good is it for her to poison us?"

Wang Mudan said, "how do I know? In short, the second room has no good intentions."

As ye Xiaoxian's tone of voice was quite sincere when she invited her guests, Xiao Tieshu said, "I believe Ye. She was very polite when she told me that day."

Xiao Tieshu hurriedly said, "I can testify."

Wang Mudan still doubted the tunnel: "it won't be like Xiao Baozhu. You should go in through the back door at that time?"

"There's no back door in their yard, just a front door." Xiao Tieshu said, "my third brother and I patrol every day. We all know."

"Then, does that father-in-law want to go?" Chen Ju asked.

"Of course, ye said, all of us can go." Xiao Tieshu road.

……

On the day of the treat, the Xiao family set off for the county seat in a mighty manner.

Lao Xiao didn't want to go, but he couldn't help what Wang Mudan and Chen Ju said. Finally, he reluctantly followed him.

However, before starting, he repeatedly stressed: "I can't live in the county this time. I'll follow you when you go."

Wang Mudan said, "father-in-law, you can't speak too early. The second room has bought a new yard and doesn't have to live in a restaurant. Maybe you can't bear to leave when you see someone else's small yard?"

"That's not possible. They go to restaurants during the day, and no one serves me."

Wang Mudan could not help scolding in his heart: old man, you know it will harm me.

……

In the county seat, Li Hongmei is waiting outside the yard for the arrival of the big room and the third room.

Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian are cooking in the kitchen.

Xiao Baoshan didn't understand Ye Xiaoxian. He asked, "don't you like uncle and third uncle? Why did you invite them to dinner?"

Ye Xiaoxian asked Xiao Baoshan, "do you think I did it right or right?"

Xiao Baoshan smiled faintly: "as long as you are willing, that's right."

Ye Xiaoxian blushed: "you can say."

Xiao Baoshan saw Ye Xiaoxian's red face and lovely and charming appearance. He couldn't help itching in his heart. He couldn't help walking up to Ye Xiaoxian and kissed her on the forehead.

Ye Xiaoxian hid back: "this is the kitchen. It's so dirty. I'm full of smoke."

The more she said that, the more Xiao Baoshan wanted to kiss her, and then he touched her face again.

"Annoying!" Cried Ye Xiaoxian.

Xiao Baoshan only came back this morning. As soon as he came back, ye Xiaoxian called him to help cook. He hasn't been warm with his wife yet.

In the past, if ye Xiaoxian said "hate", he might think he was really annoying, but now if ye Xiaoxian said "hate", he knew it was not.

This is also the advantage of following the boat. He heard it when he followed the boat.

Xiao Baoshan wanted to continue kissing his wife. At this time, Li Hongmei's loud voice came: "Oh, sister-in-law, third brother and sister-in-law, you're here. Oh, father-in-law, you're here too? Haven't seen you for a long time. You're in spirit. Eh, Baocheng, Baoyang and Baoxue are growing taller, hehe..."

Ye Xiaoxian inside got goose bumps.

Li Hongmei was reluctant this morning, but now when she sees people coming, she still needs to be polite on the surface. It's just that it's too warm. It sounds a little fake.

Wang Mudan asked Li Hongmei, "Why are you still here to meet us?"

"It's necessary. You haven't come for so long. Now you finally come. It's unkind for me not to come out. Ha ha......" Li Hongmei laughed wildly again.

Wang Mudan thought: just pretend. Obviously you didn't invite us and said we wouldn't come. Hum.

"Don't stand at the door, come on, come in and sit down!" Li Hongmei continues to say hello.

Seeing that Wang Mudan was carrying a chicken in her hand, she said, "come and bring any gifts. It's very polite."

When he said that, he reached out and grabbed the chicken.

Wang Mudan thought again: hum, still pretend!

……

When everyone entered the yard, they all looked at the small yard.

Xiao iron tree and Xiao copper tree praised the yard, saying it was exquisite and beautiful.

Lao Xiao doesn't think so. He thinks the yard is exquisite. It's the street when he goes out. It's not as big as the village. He can walk around when he goes out.

Several children don't like it very much. They think the bamboo forest is small and the only trees can't climb.

Wang Mudan and Liu Fen didn't feel much at first. Later, when they asked about the price of the small yard, they almost wanted to climb out.

Why do you buy it so expensive? It's better to live in the restaurant. If there are many people, why do you spend this money? With so much money, we can build a courtyard in the countryside.

The people in the second room are not stupid, are they?

……

After a while, ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan also came out.

Ye Xiaoxian made some cakes in advance. She first gave them to the children to eat. As soon as the children had something to eat, they stopped making trouble and sat down to eat.

Then there's dinner.

Ye Xiaoxian cooked home cooked dishes. She not only had a lot of meat, but also managed to be full.

During the meal, talk about Wang Mudan and Chen Ju at home, ask Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu about their work in the yamen, and ask about the children.

Eating and drinking like this is like a family. Wang Mudan doesn't worry about the second room poisoning her. Seeing that there is meat in the meal, she keeps eating meat and asks Baocheng to eat more, so as not to go back and eat so much meat.

When talking about the county magistrate's banquet and ye Xiaoxian's going to help cook, ye Xiaoxian asked Xiao Tieshu, "what kind of guests does the county magistrate invite?"

Xiao Tieshu was puzzled and said, "recently, I haven't heard that there is a happy event at the county magistrate's home, and I haven't heard of ministers from the province. However, the county magistrate often gives banquets and entertains some colleagues. It's just a common meal."

"Oh, so that's what your excellency Fang recommended me, and your excellency Fang is not sure about the day. Anyway, as long as the county magistrate gives a banquet, he will find a chance to push me up, but why did he do that?" Ye Xiaoxian asked suspiciously.

The staff is uncertain, the date is uncertain, what is not specifically recommended?

Only for their friends, or people who pay special attention to them, will they do so.

Xiao Baoshan also had some doubts.

Xiao Tongshu said, "why do you guess so much? Didn't Ye cook dinner for Lord Fang before? Maybe this Lord Fang also wants to show off and ask ye to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Ye can go. There are us in the Yamen. Let's help watch. As soon as there is any wind and grass, we'll inform Baoshan."

Xiao Tieshu sneered and said, "inform Baoshan that there is a hairy use. Can Baoshan enter the Yamen? He is not even a factotum now."

Xiao Baoshan solemnly said, "uncle and uncle, if there's anything wrong, you still have to inform me. Baoshan thanked you first."

Xiao Baoshan said so politely. If he didn't inform them, they were wrong. Xiao Tieshu hurriedly said, "it's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

……

With enough wine and food, old man Xiao was the first to run out of the yard, and then guarded outside the yard.

Li Hongmei couldn't help asking, "father-in-law, why are you running so fast? Everyone hasn't left yet."

The old man Xiao snorted coldly. He shouldn't answer Li Hongmei. Just stand alone.

Wang Mudan said angrily, "he's worried that we'll leave him in the county again. Don't him, old man!"

The old man Xiao shouted fiercely, "boss, I'm listening outside!"

"OK, don't say you!"

Seeing that there were still some leftovers, Wang Mudan asked Ye Xiaoxian, "leaves, you shouldn't be able to eat all these leftovers, or..."

Ye Xiaoxian understood and said, "aunt, wait a minute. I'll get some lotus leaves and pack these leftovers for you."

"Ah, great, great, nice leaves!"

Chen Ju said, "well, I want it too!"

"Don't you eat together? You can take it together." Ye Xiaoxian said.

Chen Ju was so happy that she clapped her hands. There are still a lot of meat left over from this table. You can have another big meal in the evening.
