Xiao Chen stretched out his chopsticks and tasted it, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
The fish meat is tender and smooth, without any fishy smell, and it also has a spicy taste, which makes people appetite and endless aftertaste.
Due to the hot weather in the past few days, he rarely had an appetite, but the grilled fish made by the other party whetted his appetite. It was really more delicious than the one cooked by the royal chef in the palace.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was satisfied, Jiang Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the other party wouldn't be able to get used to it.
Fortunately, all humans have something in common when it comes to food.
I really don’t understand why some people are so good-looking and eat so well. She was not watching people eating, but a piece of art.
Maybe Jiang Ling's eyes were too hot. How could Xiao Chen, who had sharp facial features, not know?
In the past, he liked to eat alone, even if it was a female. But this boy is extremely interesting.
"Would you like to have dinner together?" Xiao Chen spoke calmly and looked at Jiang Ling with kindness.
Jiang Lingtong was a little touched. The other party was a noble, but he was approachable and very friendly to her. Unlike Shopkeeper Qian and others, who were obviously ordinary but still so arrogant. It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other! Quality has nothing to do with status! It’s about character!
Good guy!
"No, no, as long as you like it. I've already eaten a few sesame seed cakes on the way, so I'm not hungry." Jiang Ling doesn't push too far. They were not familiar with each other, and she had to be self-aware when they were being polite.
"A few sesame seed cakes make you feel full?"
"Well, I'll be full after drinking some tea." Jiang Ling has a small appetite, but he doesn't eat as much as the orcs.
Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Ling's skinny appearance and was full of sympathy. He was afraid that he was malnourished because of the mistreatment at home.
What orc would eat that little bit?
"Mingyi."
"Master." The attendant responded quickly.
"Bring me a bag of silver."
Mingyi immediately took out a bag of silver and handed it to Jiang Ling according to his master's wishes.
Jiang Ling weighed it in her hands and her eyes jumped with excitement. She had a full twenty taels of silver. This noble person is so good.
Jiang Ling's eyebrows were curved, and her voice was a little sweet, "Thank you, sir."
Xiao Chen raised his eyes slightly, and his heart moved, "What kind of orc are you?"
Jiang Ling's heart thumped and she hurriedly said: "To tell you what to say, sir, I am a disabled orc and cannot transform." After saying this, he showed a hint of sadness at the right time.
Xiao Chen's expression paused and he comforted: "It doesn't matter, you have such superb cooking skills that no one else can match. But you want to work in my house?"
The attendant was stunned.
Their master is an extremely talented prime minister of a country. Even the current Beast Emperor treats him with courtesy. The slaves who want to work in their prime minister's house are very hard-headed, but the country boy in front of them allows their master to make an exception and invite him. They had to be surprised.
Jiang Ling shook her head subconsciously, "Thank you, sir. I'm just a country boy and don't understand etiquette. What should I do if I bump into someone noble? And I have a grandpa at home to take care of. He is not in good health, so I have to take care of him." Earn some money to support him in his old age."
Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Ling and became gentler. Such a sincere and kind young man is rare.
"Of course, I'm used to being free and don't like those red tapes. Don't blame me, sir." Jiang Ling touched her head in embarrassment and lowered her head.
Sincerity is a surefire weapon.
Xiao Chen took a deep look at Jiang Ling and smiled slightly, "That's fine."
Jiang Ling was very happy to get the reward. Thinking that just cooking a meal would get so much, he immediately gave Xiao Chen the hot sauce he was going to buy.
"Sir, this is the spicy sauce pickled by the villain. Please accept it. Not only can it be stored for a long time, but it can also be eaten after opening. It can also be used as a condiment for cooking. The taste is also very good. The grilled fish you just ate Made with hot sauce, too.”
Jiang Ling made five cans in total and gave them all to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was an honest man and never accepted gifts from his colleagues. Of course, he was as rich as anyone in the country and had no shortage of that.
Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Ling and took a closer look. Although the boy's skin was darker, his facial features were extremely beautiful and soft. His peach blossom eyes were sparkling, his lips were full, and his thin and thin figure made the boy look more slender and weak.
But there was an energy in the other party that was eye-catching.
The other party has no annoying animality.
"Where do you live?"
"Live in Wuling Village."
Xiao Chen asked carefully, and Jiang Ling felt that there was no malice in the other party, so she told him everything.
Besides, even though the person didn't reveal his identity, he could tell at a glance that he was someone special. Even if he didn't say it himself, the other person would know it if someone checked him out.
In this case, she might as well confess.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Chen, she went to find Zhao Tu.
I don’t know if Zhao Feifei has been selected.
I went to the Yamen, but was stopped outside by the official.
"Sir, Zhao Feifei is my cousin, I will go in and have a look."
"What about my cousin? Do you know what crime she committed?"
crime? Jiang Ling was shocked. What crime could Zhao Feifei have committed with her brain?
"Aling, you're finally here. Brother, this is my brother, can you let her in?" Zhao Tu hurried over and gave the official some money.
The officer then relented and let him go.
Jiang Ling and Zhao Tu went in together.
"What happened?"
Zhao Tu told everything about Zhao Feifei.
It turned out that Zhao Feifei and Chen Shuang'er, the daughter of County Magistrate Chen, who were famous for their beauty, had a conflict over a disagreement and started fighting.
During the scuffle, Zhao Feifei pushed Chen Shuang'er to the ground and hit a stone, disfiguring her face.
For females, looks are their best weapon. In addition to virtue in the draft, the first thing is good looks.
Now that Chen Shuang'er's appearance is disfigured, she cannot be selected. As for the culprit Zhao Feifei, naturally she cannot be selected.
County Magistrate Chen was furious and imprisoned Zhao Feifei.
Zhao Tu was extremely anxious.
"A-Ling, you have the best idea, think of a solution quickly. It doesn't matter if you miss the draft, the only thing is to free Sister. If you keep a criminal record, how can an orc from a good family really marry Sister?"
"Don't worry, the most important thing now is to see how Miss Chen is injured?" Jiang Ling was not surprised about what happened to Zhao Feifei. After all, the other party's arrogant temper was there. The servant led Zhao Tu and Jiang Ling to the back hall.
Magistrate Chen looked sullen and threw the tea bowl on the table, making a harsh sound.
Zhao Tu's heart trembled and he looked panicked.
Jiang Ling looked calm and saluted respectfully.
"Master Chen."
County Magistrate Chen was furious, "You have the nerve to come? Zhao Feifei is so bold! She actually committed murder in broad daylight. It is really lawless!"
To commit murder? This is a serious crime. Once a case is filed, if it is an orc, it will be punished with death. If it is a female, it will be a low status and reduced to a reproductive tool, with no dignity at all.
Zhao Tu panicked and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Sir, I didn't do it on purpose. She just made an unintentional mistake. Please be careful."
Zhao Tu kept kowtowing, but still did not let County Magistrate Chen relent.
"Inadvertent mistake? I think she was jealous of Shuang'er's beauty, so she deliberately caused an accident and ruined Shuang'er! What a vicious female!" County Magistrate Chen slapped the table with anger on his face.
In this remote town, Magistrate Chen is the local emperor, and no one can change what he believes.
