Chen Tian was stunned for a moment, and then his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Without any hesitation, he trotted back.
At the same time, there was chaos at the county government office.
Qin Feng was holding a bowl of boiled beans and was putting it into his mouth. Ning Hu and Liu Ming tried to persuade him to no avail, so they each took a bowl, stood next to Qin Feng, and started chewing.
The people present didn't care. After all, cooking beans was just a common meal for them.
In this year and age, how many ordinary people can afford millet? If you only have a bowl of beans to satisfy your hunger, you will be satisfied.
But the Yamen were so frightened that they surrounded Qin Feng and kept trying to dissuade him.
"Master Qin, you are a rich man, how can you eat such a thing?"
"Master Marquis, these beans are for the people. Your dinner has been prepared. Please move to the back house."
"Please don't eat it. If the master finds out, the little ones will all be punished."
The officials present were all crying and pleading, but unfortunately they could not get any response from Qin Feng.
Team Leader Zhou, who was standing aside, couldn't help but cursed in his heart when he saw Qin Feng standing among the people, eating boiled beans indifferently.
Could the person preparing dinner be crazy? !
Even though he knew that the Marquis of Qin was present, he still used such things to prevaricate.
Although for ordinary people, boiled beans are enough to satisfy their hunger, and many people can't even eat, a meal of boiled beans is very satisfying.
But this thing, after all, is difficult to reach the level of elegance.
Not to mention the Marquis of Qin, even a wealthy family would sneer at boiled beans. Beans are mostly used to feed livestock!
Seeing that Qin Feng had already eaten half of the bowl of boiled beans, Team Leader Zhou felt despair and secretly sighed: "It's over, it's all over!"
"Everyone in the county government, inside and outside, the goodwill that was hard to gain was completely wiped out because of this meal of boiled beans."
At this moment, Chen Tian ran back panting.
Seeing the boiled beans in Qin Feng's hand, Chen Tian's blood instantly cooled by half.
"What exactly is going on!"
"Didn't you prepare dinner for Mr. Hou?!"
"Damn you guys!"
Chen Tian was furious, grabbed Team Leader Zhou's collar, and roared at the top of his lungs: "You are such a courageous dog, how dare you neglect Lord Qin like this!"
Team leader Zhou was about to cry but had no tears, so he quickly explained: "Master, I don't even know about this."
At this moment, Qin Feng waved his hand, indicating that Chen Tian didn't need to care.
He ate the remaining beans in the bowl in one gulp, put the bowl aside and said with a chuckle: "County Magistrate Chen, although these beans have no taste, they are enough to keep you satisfied, so you don't have to worry too much. Besides, the people Food, why can’t I eat it?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Tian pushed away Team Leader Zhou, walked quickly to Qin Feng, and bowed in salute.
"Master Marquis, my subordinates don't know anything about this."
"Before this, my subordinates had ordered the cooks to prepare millet and broth. Although it was coarse rice and had not been screened, it could still satisfy hunger after being steamed. Although there was no meat in the broth, it had enough oil and water, which could not only quench thirst, but also It warms the body and replenishes strength.”
"After all, with so many mouths open, even if you open your cheeks to eat, you can only eat one meal. Overeating is not as good as flowing slowly."
"As for why the steamed millet turned into boiled beans, the official has no idea."
After hearing Chen Tian's explanation, Qin Feng smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with the recipes he prepared for the people.
After all, this is Beidi and supplies are scarce. Even if the money can be according to Beixi standards, food cannot be forced.
Steamed millet rice and broth are both cheap and practical, and Chen Tian is also considerate of his attentiveness.
Qin Feng looked at a large pot of boiled beans next to him and sighed.
"These beans can also satisfy your hunger. The only disadvantage is that if you eat too much, you will feel bloated. If you eat the beans until you are full, you will not dare to move, let alone work. If you eat half full, you will not have the energy to work, and you will not be able to work." It’s a real dilemma.”
"But having said that, shouldn't these beans be given priority to the war horses? Why have they become food for the common people instead?"
"The food for the war horses was eaten by the people. Where did the millet that should have been eaten by the people go?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tian's back was instantly covered with cold sweat.
Although Qin Feng is not an official in Beidi, he has a close relationship with Princess Jingci. All it takes is one word from Qin Feng, and if someone from the court conducts a thorough investigation, Chen Tian's black gauze hat will definitely be at stake.
Moreover, Chen Tian knew very well that he had already given an order, and the only person in the county government who could tamper with his order was his wife!
That damn bitch is really worried that the world will not be in chaos!
Chen Tian didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly knelt down on one knee: "I don't dare to deceive the Marquis. It must be a lowly wife who can't bear the millet, so she uses beans to fool things. Women are all like this, with long hair and short knowledge. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis." , Don’t be like that shrew.”
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the fault of the county magistrate's wife.
Qin Feng did not break his face and said sincerely: "County Magistrate Chen, in Changshui County, to be honest, you are quite a kind person."
"In that case, I would also like to make peace with you."
"These hired workers are of great significance to me. If you neglect the hired workers, you are deliberately sabotaging my plans."
"Since I made the announcement to hire workers, how many troubles have been caused in Changshui County? They are seizing strong coolies, deducting wages, and now they are trying to make things worse. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, they are all working against me. . I would like to ask, is County Magistrate Chen a remnant of the Eagle Party? If not, what good will it do to you to offend me?"
Chen Tian was already covered in cold sweat. Although he was not a Beijing official, he had heard the news that Qin Feng and the Ying Party officials were already incompatible.
Once Qin Feng believes that he is a member of the Eagle Party, he will definitely suppress him with thunderous means.
It would be too unfair to be wiped out in a daze.
Chen Tian was about to cry but had no tears: "Master Hou, even if I lend you a hundred courages, I will never dare to go against Master Hou. Please rest assured, Master Hou, I will go and catch that shrew and punish her face to face."
Qin Feng pressed his hand and signaled Chen Tian not to be too excited.
"No matter what, she is your wife. You also said that she has long hair and short knowledge. If I am too serious, wouldn't it embarrass you?"
"County Magistrate Chen, I will give you another chance."
"Changshui County is only a day and a night's journey from the boundary of the royal capital. It's not close, it's not far. If you can open the road between Changshui County and the royal capital, what happened before will be revealed to me. How about just forgetting it all?"
Open the road? !
Chen Tian couldn't help frowning, not understanding what Qin Feng meant: "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but please clarify, Lord Marquis, what is meant by opening a road?"
