The flower hall in Ma Xiangshen's home is also very elegantly built, with a bamboo forest on the side. The breeze blows and rustles softly, which makes people feel comfortable.
A lot of thought has obviously been put into the dishes on the table. The eight dishes are all extremely delicate, and the combination of meat, vegetables, salty and sweet is also excellent.
Mr. Ma and his wife were accompanying them, while Lu Ming and Erika Ashikaga sat at the north side of the round table.
Ma Xiangshen's wife, Cai Xiangqin, is also the principal of the town's primary school, with a gentle and virtuous temperament.
But like Squire Ma, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Every time the regime changes, the most affected are groups like Mr. Ma and his wife. Now we don’t know what will happen with the arrival of the Montenegrin Army.
Especially, dividing the land? It’s unheard of and even more confusing.
This kind of unknown is more frightening than directly attacking openly, because in an open robbery, at least you know what the other party's intentions are, and you can gain some benefits through cooperation.
"Mrs. Zhang, come here, try this. The bamboo shoots we only have locally are very tender and crispy."
The meals are divided on the table, and Cai Xiangqin helps Ashikaga Erika prepare most of the vegetarian dishes.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay. She is growing taller. Give her more meat. She likes to eat meat."
Ah? Cai Xiangqin was stunned.
"I, I..." Erika Ashikaga blushed immediately, looking even more charming and charming. However, her husband told her that she could not object and was very embarrassed.
Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh: "It's a combination of meat and vegetables. Try them both. I don't think I'm tired of the meat and vegetables either."
Cai Xiangqin hurriedly picked up the shining silver spoon and put some meat and vegetables on Ashikaga Erika's small plate.
"Thank you, sister..." Erika Ashikaga glanced at Lu Ming secretly and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Thank you, master."
Cai Xiangqin knew that Japanese people also respectfully call their husbands "master", so she smiled and said, "You are still young, but you are still so polite between husband and wife. It's great to be young!"
Seeing the young couple joking around, Ms. Cai forgot for a moment that this young man was the biggest spy chief in Nanping. According to legend, he was a terrifying demon who ransacked his predecessor's house, killed many people, and bloodbathed his predecessor's loyal subordinates.
It seems that there are also 10,000 posts set up.
At this time, he is more like a newlywed young man who likes to tease his petite wife.
Mr. Ma also smiled and said: "This is the first time for our family to share meals. I heard that the Commissioner and General Lu both share meals, so I said I'd give it a try. If I do something wrong, I would like to ask the Commissioner to give me some advice."
!”
Lu Ming smiled: "Very good."
In fact, in this world, in the tradition of Central China, sharing meals is not a rare thing. After all, in the early dynasties of Central China, sharing meals was the system.
However, in social activities, it is rare to get together in a luxurious restaurant with Chinese cuisine and share meals.
My behavior is quite unique. Of course, it has now inspired some officials in Montenegro to learn from General Lu's unique habits. They share meals during banquets, so that they can be clean and hygienic and eat more of their favorite dishes.
Therefore, Commissioner Zhang is just one of the officials who flattered General Lu, and he is not the only one.
In addition, he and General Lu often appear in different areas at the same time, so there is no need to worry about absurd problems such as people suspecting that he and General Lu are the same person.
"Commissioner, come here, let me toast you a glass!" Mr. Ma raised his glass.
The three-cent wine cup contains grain wine. In the northern region, grain wine is more popular than brandy made from grapes or other fruits in the south.
This was in line with Lu Ming's taste in his previous life. Although he didn't drink much in his previous life, before coming to this world, he drank food and wine until he was extremely drunk, and then he came to this world inexplicably.
Holding the wine cup, Lu Ming was a little stunned for a moment, and then looked at the extremely beautiful Ashikaga Erika beside him. It was like a dream. How could he dare to imagine such a beauty in his previous life? But in this world, there are people who take the initiative to offer sacrifices, so you should just let yourself go.
The shouting little wife.
However, the road ahead is difficult, and what needs to be accomplished is beyond imagination in my previous life.
I didn't know whether I was happy or sad at the moment.
Mr. Ma over there showed an extremely uneasy look on his face, and he was worried. What made this commissioner dissatisfied?
He looked at his wife and coughed.
Cai Xiangqin also immediately woke up from admiring the perfect match of this beautiful couple and then recalling the warmth of her and her husband's youth. Thinking of all the terrifying rumors about the husband of this beautiful couple, Cai Xiangqin shuddered and hurriedly smiled at Ashikaga E
Li Xiang said: "Mrs. Zhang, does this dish suit your taste? Take a look at it, Mr. Commissioner, does it not suit your taste?"
Lu Ming came back to his senses, raised his wine cup and gently clinked glasses with Mr. Ma, and said with a smile: "It's good, I just remembered some past events."
At this time, there was a faint noise outside, and soon they arrived in the courtyard in front of the flower hall, but there were several men with open chests and belly, some strong men, some thin monkeys, wearing cloth clothes and trousers, patched, and
One has bare feet and one has mud.
Several stern young men in short-cut caps and black uniforms standing in front of the flower hall immediately came forward to greet them, pointing at them and ordering them to be silent and squat down!
These green-skinned men were obviously frightened. There was no need to ask what these people did. The aura made them dare not resist, and they immediately squatted on the ground obediently.
Lu Ming drank a glass of wine and nodded: "Yes, this wine is a bit interesting."
Needless to say, the wine made by a big landowner like Mr. Ma is made from pure grains. Moreover, the craftsmanship is very good, it is mellow and soft, and it has a warm feeling in the stomach.
Mr. Ma sighed, "It's a pity that the decades-old jars of wine that had been stored in the wine cellar at home were all destroyed..." He suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and wanted to find another topic.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Brother Ma, I see that you can't let go when talking to me." After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, let me give you a thorough explanation. It should be difficult to come back to your previous place. After all,
From the land deeds, the stragglers who already belonged to Cheng Da Sui have been confiscated according to law. This court continues to bring cases, especially land. If the ownership of land is investigated deeply, there will be many problems. For example, when your predecessor bought land, there were
No plunder? Therefore, our policy is to be broad-based rather than fine-grained. When we divide the land, we won’t be able to give you more. This is also for your own good!”
Mr. Ma had a bitter look on his face and nodded slightly.
Lu Ming added: "But you are the founder of the cloth factory in this town and the Longji Department Store in the county, and they are running very well. These confiscated factories and companies, the county is going to return them to their original owners, private
The enterprise will be more dynamic, just wait and receive it.”
Gentleman Ma was stunned. He never expected such a turn of events. This was ten times better than giving him dozens of acres more land.
"Isn't it not so bitter now that you drink the wine?" Lu Ming raised his glass and said with a smile: "Here, cheers."
Mr. Ma was busy raising his glass with both hands and did not dare to say thank you. This was not something that could be expressed by saying thank you. He was so excited that he couldn't be more excited.
Until Commissioner Zhang took his young wife with great interest to see the small courtyard for the guest room prepared for him, Commissioner Zhang didn't pay attention to the few green men squatting or kneeling in the courtyard.
There was a lot of chatting and laughing at the wine table, but Commissioner Zhang didn't even ask Mr. Ma what those green leathers were for.
Mr. Ma could only sigh in his heart. It was true that people did not need to pay attention to these guys who caused him headaches and fear.
I watched several green men get up and run away angrily after Commissioner Zhang left, each one running faster than a rabbit.
Mr. Ma smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that if these guys saw him again in the future, they would definitely treat him with respect. If they didn't dare to come and eat and drink forcefully, they would divide their property or something like that.
