At the banquet, Yang Wuhui only brought Gu Jieqing.

The others were all taken to the county government office by Li County Magistrate.

Officials like Yang Wuhui who came from afar to serve and did not have a home would live in the county government office.

Of course, if the local squire was more sensible and offered a house as a gift, Yang Wuhui would naturally not accept it.

Although he is not considered honest, as an official, he should still do more practical things for the people.

After the so-called Ju went downstairs, Yang Wuhui discovered that Xichong was indeed much better than Qingshen County.

It's this Ju downstairs, why does it feel so familiar.

Yang Wuhui asked Li Youdao next to him: "Li Xian Cheng, may I ask if this Ju is going downstairs?"

Li Youdao smiled and replied: "Mr. Yang, this Chrysanthemum Restaurant is opened by a virtuous man in Xichong County. It is the largest restaurant in Xichong County. The most famous dish is undoubtedly Mapo Tofu. Mr. Yang may have eaten Mapo Tofu before, but the Mapo Tofu made by Juxia downstairs is the best in the world."

Yang Wuhui nodded: "Then I want to try it!"

After entering Ju and going downstairs, he arrived at the private room on the second floor. At this moment, many people were already greeting Yang Wuhui in the private room.

Yang Wuhui was not surprised by this.

Li Youdao began to introduce these people to Yang Wuhui, all of whom were local wealthy people, as well as head catchers.

To put it simply, it has a head and a face.

Yang Wuhui naturally greeted them enthusiastically. For him, there was nothing to lose anyway.

And I’ve never heard of a saying: A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.

When Yang Wuhui first came to Xichong, he was a strong dragon, and these people were local snakes.

After everyone sat down, they suddenly found that Capt. Lin didn't have a seat, and his seat had been taken by Gu Jieqing.

In other words, he was sitting in someone else's seat, but as soon as he sat down, Capt. Lin lost his seat.

For a moment, Captain Lin's face looked a little ugly.

The county magistrate glanced at Gu Jieqing, and then said to Lin Renhu: "Lin Renhu, didn't you say that the county government still has something to deal with? Why don't you go back first?"

Lin Renhu nodded with a dark face.

Naturally, the county government office had nothing to do, but there were only so many seats, and it was impossible for him to squeeze in any more, so naturally he had to leave if something happened.

Lin Renhu took the step and left.

Li Youdao also smiled and said: "This Captain Lin has always been very hardworking and can be said to be a model for Xichong County. If Master Yang has anything to do in the future, he can just leave it to this Captain Lin to handle it!"

Yang Wuhui was stunned, what do you mean, turning against guests?

But, it’s understandable.

Yang Wuhui laughed and said, "Of course it should be!"

Li Youdao stood up and said to the people in the crowd: "Everyone, Mr. Yang has come to Xichong for the first time. Let's raise a cup together and toast Mr. Yang!"

"Should should!"

"To Mr. Yang!"

Gu Jieqing looked at Yang Wuhui, but Yang Wuhui stood up with a smile.

Hold the cup and drink with them, and pour the cup of wine into your belly.

He didn't believe that these people were so bold and dared to poison him here.

Even if Xichong is remote, it is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

No matter what tricks are hidden in this place, you can do anything in private, but once you go too far, they will be greeted by the army of the imperial court.

Although today's officials are short-lived, they are not stupid.

Although it is not good to say this, it is true.

In the middle of the banquet, Yang Wuhui finally tasted the famous dish of Ju Xia Downstairs that Li Youdao mentioned, Mapo Tofu.

The mapo tofu tastes extremely fresh and tender, and the minced pork in it is even more delicious.

Yang Wuhui ate spoonful after spoonful, almost half of the plate.

Li Youdao smiled when he saw this and said, "Master Yang, how do you feel?"

Yang Wuhui replied: "As expected of Ju Xia Downstairs' Mapo Tofu, it is the best Mapo Tofu I have ever eaten so far."

Although Gu Jieqing didn't speak, he agreed.

Li Youdao seemed to be interested in taking Yang Wuhui's exam, so he said, "Mr. Yang seems to have a lot of knowledge about food. Do you know the difference between this Mapo Tofu and other Mapo Tofu?"

Gu Jieqing looked at Yang Wuhui. Although he felt that Yang Wuhui was absorbed in solving the case, just like Bao Gong, he was afraid that he would not be able to answer.

And what kind of peace of mind does Li Youdao have?

Yang Wuhui smiled lightly and said: "This Mapo Tofu is different from other Mapo Tofu in that it uses ground meat! This ground meat is very crispy, and the ground meat of ordinary Mapo Tofu will sink when you bite it. Then you can bite it into two pieces, but the minced meat of this Mapo Tofu is in your mouth, and it breaks into two pieces with one bite."

Li Youdao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Wuhui even knew this.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel victorious.

"Does Mr. Yang know what kind of meat this minced meat is made from?"

At this time, Gu Jieqing silently ate a small piece of minced meat with a spoon.

It tasted like pork and beef, and for a moment, he wasn't sure.

Could it be wild boar?

Yang Wuhui glanced at Li Youdao, and then said: "I guess it's not any kind of meat, right?"

Li Youdao's expression changed at this moment.

He looked at Yang Wuhui with a smile and said, "Master Yang is indeed from the capital. He is so knowledgeable about food. I really admire him!"

Then, the people around Li Youdao began to brag about Yang Wuhui.

Yang Wuhui sneered in his heart, thinking that he had never seen The Little Master, right?

But it is a bit ironic that this is a work of the Japanese country.

After they had had enough wine and food, Yang Wuhui was about to leave.

Li Youdao asked an entourage to see Yang Wuhui off, but Yang Wuhui accepted it calmly.

He didn't know much about Xichong, so it was a good thing to have someone to guide him.

But on the way, Gu Jieqing couldn't help but ask.

"You just said that Mapo Tofu is not made from meat, what is it?"

Yang Wuhui smiled and said, "It's just soybeans!"

Gu Jieqing was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Soybeans, how can it be soybeans!"

Yang Wuhui did not explain, because the reason is very simple, soybeans are the meat in the fields!

After arriving at the county government office, the entourage retreated.

Yang Wuhui's face turned serious. After meeting Zhan Yirong, everyone realized something was wrong.

Zhan Yirong couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? What happened to this meal?"

Yang Wuhui replied solemnly: "It's a big deal. This Li Youdao is extremely extraordinary. I'm afraid he can cover the sky in Xichong County with one hand!"

Gu Jieqing was stunned, why didn't he see that Li Youdao could cover the sky with one hand?

After Zhan Yirong thought about it, he said: "The county magistrate is the person with the most power under the county magistrate, and it is completely different from an official position like the county magistrate. He can take root in one place for a long time. If the disappearance of the former county magistrate is related to him, it is only I’m afraid we will have a difficult time in Xichong.”

Gu Jieqing couldn't help but ask at this time: "No, what happened to Li Youdao?"

Yang Wuhui was helpless, Gu Jieqing was really only suitable to be a thug, and he was really poor at using his brain.
