Emperor Jing didn't take it seriously and laughed.
"Okay! Good boy, go ahead."
After saying that, he put down the little fat boy in his arms and strode towards the city. When the people at the city gate saw Fang Zheng, he gestured violently behind Emperor Jing, and a large number of them fell to their knees.
They shouted in unison: "Welcome your Majesty to the city! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!!"
"Get flat!"
The people all rose up in awe, and the guards on both sides kept saying hello to Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing entered the city with great satisfaction.
As soon as he passed by, the people immediately stopped shouting and stared at this group of strangers.
All the officials were sweating coldly. In your square eyes, except for Your Majesty, we are not human beings, right?
Fang Zhengyi also had a helpless look on his face. This was not what he had told him to do. Taoyuan County had been closed off for too long, which meant it was somewhat xenophobic. There was nothing we could do about it.
After everyone entered the city, Fang Zheng walked to the front of the row and said loudly: "Masters, you must be tired and hungry after a long journey."
"The county has prepared a dinner for everyone. You can drink as much as you want in a while. After dinner, there will be a folk art performance from Taoyuan County waiting for everyone to enjoy! After a night's rest, I will take you to see Shengshishu!"
"Zhang Laoliu! Zhang Laoliu! Go and take all the adults to dinner, and be careful to entertain them!"
Baiguan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fang Zhengyi had finally managed some personal matters...
After relaxing, everyone couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment, and they were even more frightened when they looked at it.
The brand-new buildings, clean stone roads, and orderly people deeply shocked everyone present.
Although no one spoke, everyone began to re-examine Fang Zhengyi in their hearts.
The group of people soon arrived at Laoliu Restaurant, and Emperor Jing couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw the familiar sign.
It was here that I formally met Fang Zhengyi for the first time, so I was very interested!
Of course, this was only one reason why Fang Zhengyi chose Laoliu Restaurant. The other reason was that he had invited Emperor Jing to dine here and he seemed very satisfied.
Moreover, Zhang Laoliu gave himself a jar of wine and it was quite good, so he arranged this opportunity to receive the emperor for Zhang Laoliu.
At this time, there were many diners eating on the first floor. When they saw Fang Zheng and the man in yellow clothes, they immediately thought of the emperor and knelt down to say hello.
Seeing this, Zhang Laoliu hurriedly approached Emperor Jing, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me! It was the common people who were negligent and arranged for you to eat on the second floor. The people on the first floor forgot to clean up... I will chase them away right now." Walk!"
Emperor Jing waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! Don't disturb others. Let's go to the second floor. Let's all get up."
After saying that, he walked up the stairs and everyone quickly followed him.
Seeing everyone else going upstairs, Fang Zheng walked to Zhang Laoliu and sighed: "Silly! You can't even handle this. Get up! Your Majesty said it's okay, so there's no need to be frightened."
Then he looked at the diners around him and said, "What's going on? It's popular to eat rabbits in the city recently? I wonder why they all eat roasted rabbits?"
Zhang Laoliu stood up and smiled: "Sir, you haven't come back for a while. You don't know anything. Rabbits are sold by the county research institute. They are cheap!"
"Oh... I was eating monkey brains a while ago. You are late. All the monkeys in the back mountain have been captured, and you can't eat them now!"
Hearing this, Fang Zhengyi broke into a cold sweat.
The institute sells monkey brains...rabbits? Isn't that for fucking experiments? ! Didn't you take penicillin?
In excitement, he grabbed Zhang Laoliu's collar and said angrily: "Are these ingredients used for cooking today?"
Zhang Laoliu panicked for a moment because he didn't know why, and waved his hands quickly: "No! How dare you, sir, your majesty must use the best freshly killed ingredients for your meals, and I, Zhang Laoliu, don't need the cheap ones!"
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder: "These rabbit and monkey brains and the like...didn't they eat dead people..."
Zhang Laoliu's chest clapped loudly: "No! The research institute uses it to feed pigs first, and then sells it if there are no problems!"
Fortunately...it's good that no one was killed. Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Damn it, these people are going astray as soon as I leave. It’s okay for pigs to eat them. Can people prove that it’s okay for people to eat them?
I need to make more detailed rules when I go back.
"Okay, hurry up and cook for Your Majesty. Give me the hot water to boil the knives and cutting boards, and brush them several times. From now on, you are not allowed to buy any ingredients sold by the institute. If there are any problems, you will be the ones to ask!"
Zhang Laoliu nodded in agreement.
...........
Soon, one after another exquisite and tempting dishes were brought to the officials.
Everyone was already ravenous at this time, and almost all the food they had eaten in the morning was vomited.
Moreover, the craftsmanship in Taoyuan County is particularly superb, and I couldn’t help but move my index fingers when I saw this table of food.
After Emperor Jing moved his chopsticks, the ministers began to eat.
During the dinner, Fang Zhengyi secretly made a delicate dessert and gave it to the princess. Li Yuanzhao, who never took his eyes off Fang Zhengyi, wanted to stop him, but was successfully bribed with one hundred taels.
After half an hour of changing cups, everyone was satisfied with their food and spoke highly of the food in Taoyuan County.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Fang Zhengyi found Zhang Laoliu again.
Pulling down a corner of the second floor for him, he whispered: "After we finish eating, go to an inn in the evening and ask for the account from that old man!"
After speaking, he pointed at Zhang Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Finance. "Does he understand that he is in charge of money?"
Zhang Shi's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Fang Zheng pointing at him and giving him a fierce look.
"Master, he's staring at you!" Zhang Laoliu noticed.
"Well! Then give him a discount!"
Zhang Laoliu said with some anxiety: "Master, what if he doesn't pay...and the county government has already paid me the money in advance..."
"If he doesn't give it to you, he'll make a loud noise! His Majesty also stays at the inn!" Fang Zheng looked at Zhang Shi secretly.
You're just impeaching me! You're staring at me!
"Then what should I do with the extra money after discounting?"
"You keep half of the extra money, donate the rest to the nursing home, and then return the money given to you by the county government."
"understood!"
After the explanation, Fang Zheng squeezed Guo Tianyang away and approached Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, how did it go? Are you satisfied?"
Emperor Jing was naturally very happy. Although he had a hard time along the way, his smile never fell off since he arrived in Taoyuan County.
Oops... life in Taoyuan County is really beautiful!
"Well! Okay! Fang Qing, you did a good job! I am very satisfied."
Fang Zheng smiled brightly: "Serve His Majesty, as you should."
A resentful look was cast towards Fang Zhengyi...
"Then let me arrange the rest of the matter!"
Emperor Jing nodded in agreement, and Fang Zheng immediately stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, are you satisfied with this meal?"
"Satisfied..." a sparse voice sounded.
"Okay! Let's take a rest for a while. I will take you to my Taoyuan Grand Theater to enjoy opera in a while, just in time to relax!"
Fang Zhengyi was also very satisfied.
So far...all goes well.
