"Brother Cheng is really good at joking." In the end, the county magistrate wiped the non-existent sweat from his head and helped Cheng Hanyan make up for it.
I was afraid that the man sitting in the main seat would be furious.
"I'm not kidding." Cheng Hanyan turned to look at the county magistrate who spoke for him. He was very upright and did not give face.
The county magistrate was really scared out of his mind at this moment, so he quickly asked his career to step forward and take this man out.
A smile suddenly appeared on Mr. Ji's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes and there was still a bit of anger.
"This dear fellow is really interesting, take him with you."
Before the master could make amends, Mr. Ji raised his hand and waved, as if he had lost interest in Cheng Hanyan.
But when Song Yutong and Cheng Hanyan were taken away, Mr. Ji loosened his hand holding the tea cup, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.
The county magistrate looked frightened and knelt down with a plop.
"Calm down your anger!"
Mr. Ji turned his head and glanced at Mr. Xian, as if he couldn't stand his cautious look.
"Why are you panicking? It's just that my hands were slippery and I smashed a tea cup in your house. Is it possible that the mansion of the grand master of Xianping County still lacks such a tea cup?"
The county magistrate immediately shook his head in panic. He was not sure what the person above him meant.
Are you angry or not? You can't tell for sure?
"Go and tell Mrs. Cheng that I want to eat watercress today."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on the county magistrate's head.
Watercress!
That is the imperial chef in the palace, and only an imperial chef from the West can cook it.
In a small county like theirs, where would anyone make watercress? Let alone watercress, even the ingredients that watercress should have, they don’t have them here.
The county magistrate knew that the master was petty, probably because Mrs. Cheng's husband had annoyed him, and he was trying to tease her in different ways.
At this time, the county magistrate did not ask the master to inform Song Yutong. Instead, he went to the kitchen to think about how to tell Song Yutong.
After all, this was the cook he invited. Although it was easy to offend her, he couldn't do this deliberately to make things difficult for others.
I just hope that Song Yutong can take the initiative to give in to the young master inside and bow his head and the matter will be over.
While Song Yutong was making preparations in the kitchen, Cheng Hanyan was helping in the back.
The county magistrate came in and told Mr. Ji that he wanted to eat watercress, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"Who else knows how to make this watercress except for a chef from the West? I ask you to take your husband to apologize to that person and expose this matter."
Song Yutong blinked her eyes after hearing the county magistrate's words, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Are you serious? That Mr. Ji really wants to eat watercress."
I don't know if it was the county magistrate's misunderstanding, but he seemed to hear excitement in Mrs. Cheng's tone.
"Then I can still tease you. If you ask me to tell you, just bow your head and admit your mistake. You can't afford to offend that person..."
The county magistrate wanted to continue the brainwashing and asked Song Yutong to lead her husband to apologize to Mr. Ji.
Song Yutong suddenly chopped the kitchen knife on the cutting board.
"What my husband said is correct. How can anyone come up and ask about someone's family background? We are not familiar with him. He acted presumptuously and refused to let others talk about it. You are spoiling him, but I am not. You are awesome.
It's like something. Those who don't know think that his family has a throne for him to inherit. I really think that I am the king."
When the county magistrate heard Song Yutong's unreasonable words, his legs trembled.
"Hey, don't talk about the little girl's grandma. She really has a throne to inherit, and she is a serious person from the imperial city."
The county magistrate was so anxious that he exposed the identity of Mr. Ji.
After he finished speaking, he realized what he had said, and immediately covered his mouth, and kept warning the two people not to say anything outside.
Song Yutong, however, looked at Cheng Hanyan and mouthed three words.
"Ji Chengan!"
Cheng Hanyan nodded, instantly understanding what his wife meant. This Mr. Ji was probably not Ji Chengan's brother.
"County Master, can I ask you something? This young man from the imperial city is so good. Why did he come to our county and ask me, a cook, to cook for him? Is it because of the skills of the cooks in the palace?
Not as good as me?"
Song Yutong deliberately spoke in a curious and complacent tone, making the county magistrate think that she was really too confident in her cooking skills.
"They are not here to see you, they are here to do something."
The county magistrate was worried about Song Yutong, but Song Yutong was not worried at all and still wanted to inquire about her affairs.
"What are you doing? Is it the guy on the throne who came here to patrol incognito? Or is he really here to see his brother?"
Song Yutong's conjecture was not unreasonable at all. The county magistrate didn't think much about it. He just wanted to expose the matter quickly and let Song Yutong and his wife go in to plead for mercy.
So Hukou responded, "Yes, yes, I'm here to look for someone."
Song Yutong turned around and exchanged glances with Cheng Hanyan, under the repeated urging of the county magistrate.
She tilted her head and interrupted the county magistrate's words.
"Why don't you go help me and ask the young master what watercress he wants to eat and I'll cook it for you."
The county magistrate was stunned when he heard his shameless words. He looked up and down Song Yutong's body with suspicious eyes.
"Watercress! Cook it! Are you kidding me? You are not a Western cook."
The county magistrate felt that Mrs. Cheng was talking nonsense and did not want to give her another chance to defend herself, so he directly dragged her to plead for mercy.
Song Yutong immediately gave her husband a look, and Cheng Hanyan came up and forcibly dragged the county magistrate away and blocked him outside the door.
"Don't mess around here. If you don't do it right, you and I will both suffer. Now listen to me and go and beg for mercy."
The county magistrate kept talking outside and was exhausted, but there was still no movement from the people in the kitchen.
In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore. The county magistrate called his servants and forced his way into the kitchen to take Song Yutong out.
Unexpectedly, Song Yutong brought out a tomato meat sauce pasta.
The aroma of black pepper comes to your nose, mixed with the sourness of tomatoes and the aroma of meat sauce, exuding a very attractive taste.
The county magistrate immediately stopped and stared at the plate of tomato pasta, which seemed a little unreal.
"This, this, this, this is the watercress?"
Song Yutong nodded very confidently.
"This is Western noodles. Watercress is nothing more than steak, pasta and various salads. You can ask the person what else he wants to eat? I can also make mashed potatoes, but there is not enough caviar. Caviar is a seafood product, and
It's the roe of deep-sea fish. If I can get it, I can make it for him."
