Chapter 338

In the middle of Shenshi, the magistrate and his party arrived at Lu's house.

Because it was still early, the magistrate proposed to go to the mountain to have a look. Lu Yunkai, Xie Daniu and the village head accompanied him to the mountain.

Taohua village is surrounded by mountains on several sides, with beautiful scenery and rich materials. Except for the poor land, everything else is good.

The magistrate heard that most people in the village would go hunting in the mountains. They wanted to go hunting in the mountains with great interest. However, they did not dare to go deep. They could only hunt pheasants or goats outside.

"My Lord, you are good at archery!" Jiang Mingzhao flattered.

The magistrate burst out laughing, "it's no longer possible. It's rare to come out hunting these years, and I don't know how to draw a bow and shoot arrows."

"You are too modest, my Lord."

The magistrate threw his bow and arrow to the bodyguard. "The mountains around Lingnan are private. There is no place to hunt."

"Adults can go to our hunting ground in Castle Peak, where there are few people and there are many prey. It's no worse than other places." Jiang Mingzhao said.

The magistrate waved his hand with a smile, "how can the animals in your hunting ground have the spirit of wild animals in the mountains?"

Jiang Mingzhao said that he didn't know that in order to avoid suspicion, the magistrate didn't want to go to the hunting ground for the dead, in case someone would make an article on it.

Lu Yunkai understood the leading edge, but he didn't intervene, and there was no room for him to intervene.

"My Lord, there are roe deer ahead." One side of the bodyguard said.

"Come on, let's go and have a look!" The magistrate raised his hand and went ahead. His clothes were fresh and angry, just like the time when the wind was flourishing and the spirit was high!

......

And song Xintong at home, they are quick to prepare the dishes. The magistrate and his party estimated that they would come back at about a quarter to three o'clock. Then they could have dinner after a short rest.

The magistrate was a boat at the beginning of the year of the first half of the year. There was enough time for him to get there.

"Girl, is that enough?" Wang asked.

Four cold dishes, four fried dishes, four big dishes, and old mother chicken soup.

"That should be enough." Song Xintong didn't ask Wang to make too much meat and fish. Most of them are mountain treasures, so they can be regarded as fresh.

"It's just that the positions of the bodyguards outside are a little bigger. There's no need to be so delicate." Song Xintong reminds a way.

"Don't worry, girl." Wang should be under, holding the sea bowl to load cold dishes, each bowl is full of weight.

Daya and Xiaoyue came in carrying a small basket, "girl, do you think it's appropriate to pretend like this?"

This is a bamboo basket specially made by song Xintong for Cui ER in the rabbit house. The basket is a little deep, separated by four directions. Each place contains different ingredients, such as fresh mushrooms, fresh gray spores, fresh chicken fir fungus, and dried peach breast wrapped in paper. In addition, there is also a small jar of plum wine left before, all of which add up to nearly ten jin.

There were four baskets for the magistrate, two aides and Jiang Mingzhao, but the magistrate and Jiang Mingzhao had a little more. The rest of the bodyguards also prepared some food, but there were no chicken fir and mushrooms. After all, these were hard to find.

Today, xiangdaya, Xiaoyue and a few girls from the village went to the mountain to look for mushrooms. She spent a hundred yuan to buy 20 or 30 jin of mushrooms and gray spores, which just filled up the baskets.

"Yes." Song Xintong suddenly thought of the pregnant lady, turned his head and asked Wang: "Auntie Wang, did you have any sour food last time?"

"There's more." Wang should say: "the girl said when she came back before, and the maidservant made several jars."

"Then bring some more and give them to the magistrate later." Song Xintong felt that he also gave gifts with originality. He didn't give silver but local specialties.

"Good girl." Wang said, "now let Da Ya move in."

"Don't worry." Song Xintong looked out at the sky and said, "they are coming back soon. First, prepare the dishes. Can the fish be baked?"

"That's about it." Said the chef.

"Then get ready. I'll go out and have a look." When song Xintong got out of the kitchen, he went to the courtyard of the outer school and looked across the wall at the other side of the small mountain village. From a distance, he could see the Song family's house hidden in the green, and a group of people slowly came down from the back mountain path.

"Sister, brother-in-law, they're back?" Dabao just came back from the rabbit house in the back mountain, panting.

"Well, I'm back. You go to talk to grandma Qiu and they can start cooking." Song Xintong said.

When the magistrate returned, song Xintong saw a pheasant, a goat and two roe deer that had been lost all over the land. In just one hour, he had gained so much.

"My Lord, how would you like to eat these prey?" Song Xintong asked.

The magistrate took a look at the food on the table and said, "I see that it's done. I don't need these."

"Enough, enough, enough." Jiang Mingzhao also said that he really wanted to eat roast mutton, but it was still decided by the magistrate.

Twins have come out with hot water, respectfully said: "your hands, sir."

"Thank you very much." The magistrate is also a grandfather. He is kind and looks at the twins lovingly.

"No Dabao was embarrassed to smile and trotted to one side.

After the magistrate washed their hands, they went to the courtyard inside. There was already a table in the hall. Lu Yunkai accompanied them in.

Song Xintong called the Yamen servants to sit on the four tables outside. The bodyguards were full of two tables, and the rest of Uncle Xie and mother-in-law Qiu were divided into two tables.

"Do you want Shaojiu or Meizi?" Song Xintong pointed to two jars of wine and said, "pour whatever you want."

"No, Mrs. Lu. We don't drink in our official business." Said the guard.

"Well, I don't want to persuade you. You should eat the dishes first, and there will be some big dishes later." After Song Xintong simply said hello, she went to the side. Mother-in-law Qiu had not sat down yet. Only the village head and Xie Daniu, the men, were sitting at a table full of wine.

The village head wants to gather in the hall, but where will the magistrate take care of him.

The village head said, "Xintong, this is too rich."

On the table, there are cold pork tripe, white cut chicken, cold mushroom, cold shredded pork, fried pork with mushroom, fried pork with pepper, fried eggplant bun, fried pork with bamboo shoots, spicy prawns, spicy snails, spicy rabbit dice, and fried roast fish.

Most of them are home-made dishes, but they are full of weight.

"Take your time." Song Xintong looked at the twins: "you two eat fish carefully, be careful of fish bones."

"I see, sister." Dabao nodded repeatedly.

On the other hand, song Xintong asked Daya to clean up the pheasants, roe deer and sheep one by one, and then put them in a box with ice cubes in it. Later, they were sent to the boat. As for how to divide them, it was the matter of the magistrate.
