"Missing!" He coldly threw away the two words, lowered his head and continued to read the reports from his subordinates about the follow-up to the disaster in Qingping County.

The yamen officer took the order and ran back not long after, his voice trembling with excitement as he spoke, "Sir, that girl said her surname is Xu and she can solve the food shortage in Qingping County."

"Can she solve the food shortage in Qingping County? Haha, she has such a strong tone!"

The Yamen servant knew from the Lord's tone that he didn't believe it. Also, how could a girl like that, who looked like a teenager, have the ability to get food? He really lost his mind when he heard the word "food".

The yamen servant lowered his head and did not dare to reply. After a while, he heard Lu Jin say: "Since you have such ability, let her come in."

The yamen servant took the order and went out. Not long after, he brought with him a girl who was thin and slender, and smiled with her mouth covered as soon as she entered the door.

Lu Jin looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen him before, but she had an intuition that the girl who smiled like that must not be a serious girl.

Seeing that she was standing like that after entering the door without giving him any courtesy, he said calmly: "Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Xu Yuanru had already thought about it before she came. She had a large amount of food in her hands. As long as she could help Lu Jin solve the food shortage in Qingping County, Lu Jin would definitely think highly of her.

She even thought that when Lu Jin saw her, he would warmly stand up and greet her, but what she got was a deep question from Lu Jin?

Xu Yuanru winced and muttered: "People's daughter...people's daughter..."

The yamen servant who followed behind her gave her a quick kick at the crook of her knee. Xu Yuanru fell to her knees unprepared, and her knee made a plop sound, which made her face turn pale in pain.

But I couldn't help but kowtow, "Xu Yuanru, a citizen girl, has met the county magistrate."

Xu Yuanru? Does this name sound familiar? Lu Jin thought about the past when he was attacked by a girl from the Xu family in Hedong Village. His brows tightened. He wondered if he had seen it wrong. He felt that Xu Yuanru was thinner than the one he saw before.

Many?

But he didn't remember Xu Yuanru's appearance, but the name made him feel like he had swallowed a fly. If he hadn't thought that Xu Yuanru said she could solve the food problem, someone would have kicked her out long ago.

But even so, his face was not very good-looking, "You said you could solve the food shortage, but how are you going to solve it?"

Xu Yuanru listened to the question, raised her head and showed a flattering smile to Lu Jin, "Sir, a folk girl... A folk girl's legs hurt from kneeling."

Lu Jin looked at the yamen servant standing next to him. The yamen servant was about to move the chair immediately. His hands touched the back of the chair, but Lu Jin said: "Get her a futon to cushion her."

The yamen servant was shocked, and then ran out quickly. After a while, he brought a futon in and threw it next to Xu Yuanru's legs. "It won't hurt if you kneel with a little more cushion."

Xu Yuanru felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. She had worked so hard, but why couldn't she get into Lu Jin's eyes? She didn't even want her to stand up and speak? She was not a prisoner. How could she kneel down and answer the question?

?

But the only one to blame is the original owner, Tai Zuo, who played a good hand of cards to pieces. Otherwise, with her status as Xu Qiuliang's niece, how could she not have a long-term relationship with Lu Jin when she and Lu Jin meet frequently?

It seemed that if she wanted to impress Lu Jin, she would have to work harder with the food issue. The thousand stone grains originally prepared would have to be doubled.

Xu Yuanru restrained her emotions and was just about to talk about the topic of food when she saw Qingshu running in from outside, shouting as he ran: "Master, Master, Miss Xiaoman is here and brought two large pieces of pig head meat. It smells delicious."

It smells delicious. Would you like to eat it?"

Lu Jin couldn't sit still after hearing this. Just as he was about to get up, he thought that he still had something serious to ask, so he said to Qingshu: "You take Xiaoman to sit in the warm hall. Didn't we get a few baskets of bananas from the south a few days ago? You pick them for Xiaoman.

Let her eat two cooked skewers while she waits, and pack a few more skewers for her to take back for Erhu to try too."

Qingshu agreed and was about to go out. When he saw clearly that the person kowtowing on the ground was Xu Yuanru, he stopped again and said to the Yamen servant: "Did you hear what the Lord just ordered?"

The yamen officer wanted to say that it was not his order, but when he saw Qingshu winking at him, he nodded quickly, "I heard it."

"Why don't you go then?"

After saying that, he waved his hand to the Yamen servant, indicating that he could go down.

As soon as the Yamen servant left, Qingshu stood next to Lu Jin, as if to prevent anyone from attacking their master at any time.

Xu Yuanru was so angry at his behavior that she gritted her teeth and thought: When I become the mistress of your family, I will see how I deal with you, this little slave.

Lin Xiaoman was invited to the warm room by the yamen servant. First, she was given a pot of fragrant tea and then two bunches of bananas.

After the yamen delivered the things, he ran out and added a few handfuls of firewood to the stove outside the heating hall. Soon the heating hall was really warm.

Lin Xiaoman has eaten a lot of bananas there, and she especially likes them when they are overripe and taste sweet.

But bananas are a specialty of the south and will not grow in places that are not particularly warm. It is not easy to transport them under such conditions.

It's just that this banana looks a little small, and it's not as attractive as the bananas she ate there. It looks like a wild one.

Lin Xiaoman broke off a banana and slowly tore off the skin. The yamen officer who was about to tell Lin Xiaoman how to eat bananas stopped. It turned out that Miss Xiaoman had eaten bananas before.

After taking a bite, Lin Xiaoman was stunned. It was not that bananas were not delicious, but that she had eaten bananas several times. They were all soft and waxy, fragrant and sweet. Was this the first time she had eaten bananas with seeds?

After taking one bite, her mouth was full of seeds. Not to mention, this banana was sour, astringent, and slippery. It couldn't be said to be unpalatable, but it was definitely not as delicious as the ones she had eaten before.

After sipping for a long time, he finally got all the banana seeds out. After spitting out the seeds, Lin Xiaoman refused to take another bite no matter what.

Sure enough, it’s better there. No matter what season, you can eat whatever you want, and the quality is higher.

When the yamen servant saw that Lin Xiaoman stopped eating, he just thought it was because he was here. Lin Xiaoman was embarrassed to eat, "Miss Xiaoman, the bananas are shipped from the south. The master is not willing to eat them yet, so I asked the younger one to bring two bunches to Miss Xiaoman first."

, and he also said that he would bring a few skewers to Miss Xiaoman when he goes back."

Plantains are not delicious, but Lin Xiaoman appreciates the kindness, so she smiles and thanks her, but what she is thinking about is getting a piece of gauze to squeeze out the seeds. The sweet and sour plantain meat will be good to make into banana pie or banana pancakes.

Eat.

I heard from the yamen servant that Lu Jin was waiting for guests, so I just took the banana and asked the yamen servant to take her to the kitchen.

The yamen servant had eaten the food cooked by Lin Xiaoman. It was the most delicious food he had ever tasted. Now seeing that Lin Xiaoman wanted to cook, there was no reason to be unhappy. He carried two bunches of bananas and led Lin Xiaoman towards the kitchen.

Go.

The warm room is in the northwest of the county government office, and the kitchen is in the east. As soon as I walked past, I saw Xu Yuanru being led out by Qingshu.

Qingshu had a smile on his face. Although he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying, looking at Xu Yuanru's expression, Qingshu must have said what she wanted to hear.

But why did this girl come to the county government office?

Xu Yuanru also saw Lin Xiaoman at this time, and the hostility and malice in her eyes were not hidden.
