Zhao Mu was confused when he saw what the county magistrate on the side was doing.
"I said Lao Song, why are you sweating again?
Are you too tired from the dusty journey?
Or do you think you are weak? Don't worry. I will take you to the drugstore after dinner later and ask Dr. Sun to prescribe some Chinese medicine for you and give you a good supplement.
Remember, a man can say he is tired, but a man cannot say he is incapable.
These are pork kidneys. Eat a few more of them to replenish your old waist!"
The county magistrate smiled awkwardly, knowing that only he knew his pain.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I will eat it by myself. I will eat it by myself."
Then he looked at everyone around him with a smile on his face, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
I should have known at that time that His Majesty and Mr. Zhao were brothers, and that Mr. Zhao was reduced to the status of housekeeper.
You should have thought that besides them, other ministers in the court would do the same.
It's just that I really didn't expect that I would encounter it so quickly today, and under such a situation!
"Magistrate Song, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine!"
Li Er picked up the wine glass and saluted the county magistrate.
In order to prevent the county magistrate from being embarrassed, it would be a big deal to expose the matter.
The two men had a drink with each other and gave him some hints in their eyes. The county magistrate understood instantly!
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I wish that our business will be prosperous next year as we follow my virtuous brother."
"sure."
What is it like to be congratulated by the current saint for making a fortune?
As a county magistrate, I have experienced it personally, so I feel that the wine glass is a little unstable when I hold it.
However, I often communicated with these big figures, and my horizons gradually broadened.
As the saying goes, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Thinking back to those days, I was just an ordinary county magistrate.
Maybe you can only have the opportunity to enter the court hall if you attend the annual court gathering. Even then, you are still in the farthest place, looking at His Majesty from a distance.
And now that I am so close to His Majesty, among all the county magistrates in the world, I am the only one who has such an honor.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Mu excitedly. Everything was arranged for him by Mr. Zhao.
Holding such a thigh, within one's own jurisdiction, even if one does not get promoted, it is still worth it.
"By the way, dear brother, I remember last time I asked someone to arrange for some foreign slaves. Have you already made arrangements for the mine?"
"I have already sent someone to arrange this matter for Lao Song."
"Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, Mr. Zhao has sent those slaves to the county seat, and I will put them in the mine.
We have people outside watching the mines and asking them to keep digging for us."
"Hahaha, that's good. I also heard from the housekeeper that those alien slaves threatened them after being captured here.
Thanks to my dear brother, you can understand what they are saying.
Otherwise, we don’t know what the hell these people are up to. As expected, my dear brother is a man of great talent.
I can’t hide anything from my dear brother. Apart from these, does my dear brother know other languages?”
I can barely do it!
Look, this is called the most low-key pretense. Everything you say is full of pretense, but when people hear it, it sounds convincing.
But for the Tang people, it is impossible to learn other foreign languages.
If foreigners want to come to our Central Plains, they will be proud to learn the Central Plains dialect.
Even the envoys who came to the court converted between their own language and the Chinese language.
It's a pity that Xiandi's skill is relatively useless, otherwise Li Er would still want to dig more out of him!
"Come on, dear brother, eat and drink, you guys, let's eat and drink too.
"At this large table, everyone gathered together, eating and drinking, and it was so lively.
On the other side of the table were Linglong, Li Yue, Empress Changsun, and Zhuangzi's guard butler.
The first time she tasted this pig-killing dish, Empress Changsun felt that it was very delicious, even more fragrant than the food usually eaten in the palace.
I didn’t expect that a small butchered pig dish could be so delicious?
You really can’t call it cheap meat just because it’s just meat that ordinary people eat.
After returning to the palace, you can have a good talk with His Majesty and encourage the people to raise more pigs.
In this way, the people can eat more meat, which is a good thing.
In addition to their adults, even the children from Zhaojiazhuang occupied a table.
This is what can happen in Zhaojiazhuang. If it were placed in other places, children would have to eat before the adults can serve it.
Everyone squeezes in. Compared to the adult tables, there are still more people at their seats.
"Brother, you two should try it carefully. This is the pig-killing dish I told you. Is this your first time eating it?"
Seeing the dishes in front of them, Li Chengqian and Changle picked up a piece with chopsticks, put it in a bowl, and tasted it.
Seeing the two of them eating, all the children also started to put vegetables and meat into the bowls, and ate happily.
Uncle Zhao is truly a talented person, he can even make pork so delicious!
Yes, yes, the pork cooked by Uncle Zhao and Zhuangzi is so delicious, better than anything I have ever tasted.
Changle put pieces of meat into the bowl one by one. Despite his young age, he was one of the best cooks when he put them on the table.
The so-called people who work hard have to use big basins to make food.
The rice was brought up, one table and one large bowl. Everyone started to serve Li Chengqian Changle the rice first, and others also started to put it into their own bowls and start eating.
This pork meal was really delicious. In the whole tent, they were the first children to finish it.
After eating, they put the bowls and chopsticks aside, and the group left the tent and went out to have fun.
After the people at other tables in Zhuangzi finished eating, they went to help. Everyone took turns working and eating.
Until the end, only Zhao Mu and his friends were left at the table.
Everyone had already finished their meal, but they just sat around and started chatting.
"Brother Xian, why do you think the pork from Zhuangzi tastes so delicious?
Why don’t the pork I, Lao Li, bought in Chang’an City taste like the ones in your Zhuangzi?”
"Actually, this is not a secret. Zhuangzi's pigs need to be castrated.
The castrated pigs grow fat and strong, and they don’t smell bad when eaten.”
Castrating a boar is an interesting thing that no one has ever heard of.
"It also requires a master to take action and have certain techniques.
Our masters at Zhuangzi were all trained by me after many failures, so we need to be fast, accurate and ruthless!"
When everyone heard this, they felt a chill in their crotches.
