Evening·Flowers in the kitchen of the official office.
"I asked you to go to the market to prepare some special dishes. What are you cooking? A family stew of field mice? I have cooked bamboo rats on the dining table. You are so capable, why don't you also kill the old cows in the field and stew them? Already?"
"Look what you did for me!"
The county magistrate who came to urge the dishes to be served saw the county magistrate and the bookkeeper arguing in front of the kitchen door. At first he didn't know what was going on, so he stepped forward with a confused face and asked them what happened.
When the county magistrate learned about the special dishes prepared by the chief clerk and the yamen servant, he immediately became furious. He chased the chief clerk with a fire stick and hit him on the head, while beating and cursing:
"Don't you know which dishes are on the table and which are not? The toads are already on the table, how can you ask me to host a banquet for guests now?"
"Boss, didn't you ask me to go to the market to purchase special ingredients from Flower City? Didn't I just do what you said?"
The young chief clerk covered his head and ran away in a hurry, but he did not forget to explain his grievances.
The Flower District is an agricultural area, and large acres of farmland are indispensable for pests and grain-stealing voles. Ordinary voles can grow up to more than one meter long. If the velvet is left alone, it is very easy to cause rodent damage and cause crop losses. Later, people in the Flower District discovered Voles seem to be quite delicious.
Therefore, there is a saying: One mouse is worth three chickens. As the saying goes in the flower area, it is normal to eat voles here. If you don't eat them, they will eat the crops and flowers and take away your children and foxes.
Therefore, in the eyes of the chief clerk, he has done nothing wrong!
The field mouse stewed with old soybean soup is sweet and delicious. The small field mice are cleaned and fried until golden. When dipped in the hot and sour sauce, it is heavenly. Not to mention the taste of the big bamboo rats with clean meat and stir-fried asparagus. He drinks alcohol on weekdays. They couldn't bear to eat such a luxurious bamboo rat.
"Get out of here! Go to the restaurant immediately and buy some food that's ready for the table and come back!"
Although the magistrate's body was generous, his foundation-building skills could not be faked. With one kick in the air, he shot the chief clerk out of the back door of the official office and said: "Slow down, I will break your legs!"
You don’t even know what our level is, or what level the Yongle Academy students are!
Those are all children from rich families, and they will serve you several plates of mice at the Jie Feng Washing Banquet! Like?
Magistrate Hua Hua was so angry with the young master that his liver trembled.
………………
"Actually, voles are different from mice. Fried voles are a well-known dish that goes with wine. They are quite common here in southern Xiayu. I have eaten them before, both young and old."
After standing in front of the door and watching the county magistrate angrily beating the chief register, Zhou You, who had been here before, explained the difference between mice and voles to Su Yan, Jun Xia, Feng Shiqi and Wumingshi.
Voles do taste good, and for the local area, eating voles is better at preventing rodent infestations.
"Brother Su should know, right? I want to fry the taste of those field mice that go with the wine."
Zhou You looked at Su Yan, who was from the southern state, and asked him with a smile. Wanting to gain a sense of recognition, he and Su Yan would find a restaurant side by side and have a couple of drinks.
"Vole."
Su Yan thought about the field mice he had seen. His body was as wide and fat as a building. His face tightened and he quickly waved his hands and said, "My mother won't let me get too close to those gangsters."
"It's so big that I can't eat it for a week. It's so big that I want to vomit it out."
Su Yan didn't know what was going on in southern Xia Yu, but the rats in the southern states formed cliques and lived in chaos.
"hold head high!?"
Zhou You looked at Su Yan with questions on his face. The size of a field mouse is only the size of a hand. Doesn't this thing only have three mouths?
Why do I have to eat at your place for a week?
"Hahaha, I made everyone laugh."
The magistrate walked back to the back hall with an embarrassed look on his face, and quickly called for everyone to come down and let the cooks bring the dishes.
Appetizers such as voles, locusts, and frogs were all sternly opposed by the county magistrate and county magistrate. The reception banquet skipped the appetizers and started serving chicken and fish. The main course of the banquet was a wild boar.

"I wish you all good luck in martial arts. The county magistrate, chief registrar, and I are going to take half-year leave first. If you have anything to do, you can come to me in Jianghe Town. If you cause too much trouble, I suggest you contact Chi Prince's Mansion."
After having a full meal, the county magistrate took the initiative to say goodbye to Su Yan and his entourage, and went to the kitchen with the county magistrate to pack away all the field mouse soup and fried field mice. All the government officials also went home. A huge government office was now Only the Yongle Academy and his party were left.
"Let's all think about it tonight! Shi Qi and I will go to the accounting room to check the accounts and take a look at the cash and other valuables in the government office."
The situation inside Flower City is so tricky, how should the county leader Luanming start to make political achievements.
She just took stock of the financial expenses of the Flower Office first and saw if she could spare some funds to support her future life.
"Consider it? What a ridiculous consideration. Judging from the current situation, it should be impossible to achieve any political achievements, and it is impossible for us to touch Taishi Sumire's pocket."
Seeing County Lord Luanming leave, Zhou You leaned back on his chair and put his feet on the table, saying, "Brother Su, are you interested in taking a quick trip? It is said that there are many flower fairies living in the flower area. .”
"When the time comes, capture her with your charm, brother, I will step forward and draw it with charcoal, and record those little cute flower fairies in the book forever."
Monks participating in the academy outing can make requests as long as they can achieve results satisfactory to Master Sumire.
Zhou You came here just to make money. Now, seeing that the situation here in Flower City is so difficult, Zhou You plans to stop doing anything and go to the academy for an outing. After that, he takes the fairy boat back to Xia Yu City, retrieves his storage ring, and travels to other great rivers and mountains. .
A genius wants to fight the landlords here, but what can four little Golden Core monks do here in Flower City?
I am afraid of dying and I don’t know how I will die.
"Taking a photo of the Flower Fairy? I'm afraid you've never seen a cruel plant demon whose arms are thicker than your waist."
Listening to Zhou You's complaints about the mess, Su Yan secretly cursed Zhou You for being bold, and then said, "Let's talk about those things later! I just want to rearrange a dormitory that I'm satisfied with, and I don't plan to risk the fate of it." Use the ground as your bed, the wind and the sun.”
"Let's go help in the accounting room too! Let's see how much cash the government office has left to spend on us."
Although the situation in Flower City was difficult to deal with, it was not impossible. Therefore, Su Yan did not despair about taking office as the county magistrate.
If you want to make political achievements, you don't have to rob the interests of the local indigenous people. As long as you find a way to make money, you can use the name of Xia Yu's official office to invite the major clans to conspire for the world's spiritual stones.
Su Yan didn't care about these financial opportunities. The reason why he went to the academy for outings was always because of Master Jin!
He can teach himself the ability to control water, and he can also teach himself the secrets of the dragon clan!
For example, if the little dragon girl hadn't reminded him of the 'Dragon Ball Condensation Method', Su Yan would not have known that the Dragon Clan's Dragon Balls needed to be condensed by himself, let alone that only creatures with Dragon Clan bloodline could do it.
The Grand Master had a lot of valuable things on him, so Su Yan naturally planned to make some achievements here and touch the money bag hidden by Nanhai Laolong.
On the way to the accounting room, Zhou You was still complaining to Su Yan about the abnormal difficulty of the academy outing.
But no one noticed that the royal family nameless person who had been following the two of them turned around quietly halfway and walked to the government warehouse alone.
Anonymous lifted up his wide cuffs, and several small vines poked out from inside, piercing the keyhole of the metal door.
"Click——"
The door to the Flower Administration's warehouse opened in response.
