Chapter 82 High-end ingredients

The two shopkeepers went to Shuzhou in person, and not only the two shopkeepers, but also more than 200 shops from two shops, and the group of people set off in batches.

This is Gu Qing’s plan.

When facing external enemies or pressure, there are more than one way to solve the dilemma. There was a joke in the past life that money can solve 99% of the world's problems. This sentence is not completely correct, but it makes some sense after all.

Being rich, coupled with an idea that does not stick to the rules, is a way to break the deadlock.

Standing at the door of Changlongji shop, watching Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing join the road, the two shopkeepers walked side by side, each with cold faces, but the distance was very close. Occasionally, a carriage came over in the middle of the road, and Shi Daxing grabbed Hao Donglai's arm hard and avoided the carriage, like an old couple who were quarreling, angry, but still loved it.

"Let's leave too, go back to the village." Gu Qing greeted Song Gensheng.

The two lived in Qingcheng County for several days this time. For some reason, Gu Qing felt that he was not very adaptable, but still thought that Shiqiao Village was good, mountains and rivers were good, and people were good.

Gu Qing bought a lot of things in the city, most of which were related to the kitchen and food. He bought a square pot, or should be called "ding", bought some sauces and various seasonings, and Song Gensheng bought a few feet of fancy cloth, which was very soft, and even gritted his teeth and bought a few feet of green silk.

Gu Qing knew who he bought these cloths for. When he bought them, he tried very hard to persuade him that he would give a girl with such fancy color to a girl who was not married. It is very likely that people would refuse. After all, Xiu'er and her daughter are no longer short of money under the care of Gu Qing.

Song Gensheng was very persistent. The straight man's aesthetics told him that the more fancy the color the more you look like, the more you can get the girl's favor. Doesn't the girl's family just like colorful things?

So Gu Qing stopped stopping.

Sometimes persuasion is useless. He grabbed his arm and told him at the top of his lungs that there was a pit in front of him, it was a pit, or a pit! He still couldn't believe it, and he had to fall into it himself, and then he suddenly realized that he had grown up after falling into a blue nose and a swollen face. Oh, it turned out to be a pit. So he instantly found that he had grown up.

Adults call this "experience".

Gu Qing calls such people "iums", and they actually mean the same.

When he was about to reach the city gate, he saw two rows of officers leading the way outside the city gate, separating the crowd. Behind the officer was a ox cart. A simple shed was set up on the ox cart, which looked very shabby. Song Gensheng hurriedly grabbed Gu Qing and avoided it to the side of the road, and whispered to him that this was the county magistrate's ceremonial guard.

Gu Qing was a little surprised. The county magistrate actually used such a shabby ceremonial guard, and it seemed that he was indeed a clean official.

The civilians along the way made way and stood quietly for the guard of honor to pass. The ox cart walked slowly. When passing by Gu Qing, the carport on the ox cart opened a corner of the curtain. Gu Qing looked up and looked at the gaze of the Huang County Magistrate on the cart.

Both of them were a little surprised, and then Gu Qing's eyes became a little sarcastic. County Magistrate Huang's expression also became gloomy. The two of them's eyes collided and instantly distorted.

After the ox cart, Gu Qing patted Song Gensheng on the shoulder and signaled to continue leaving the city.

In the ox cart, County Magistrate Huang closed his eyes with satisfaction. He saw Gu Qing’s eyes just now. In the brief meeting, he only saw a hint of sarcasm, but, so what?

The porcelain kiln has been sealed, and it will never be unsealed. The eyes of a mere civilian, whether it is anger or ridicule, seemed to him just helpless and useless catharsis. After the catharsis, nothing can be changed.

How do the people fight with officials? It's funny.

Huang Wenjin slowly exhaled and raised her hand to stroke her beard. The official robe on her body was a little old. This official robe was made when he took office six years ago. Now there are some wear and tear holes on the cuffs.

It’s okay, being dedicated to serving the people and being impartial to the officials, and being worn out is a kind of honor.

…………

It was already evening when he returned to the village. Gu Qing entered the door and sat on the futon in the middle of the yard, exhaling for a long time.

The mountain road is too difficult to walk, and it is very tiring. If you have wealth that is as rich as a country in the future, you must build a flat road to lead to Qingcheng County.

The door creaked, and Zhang Huaiyu poked his head out of the door and looked around carefully. He found that Gu Qing was the only one in the yard, so he pushed open the door and came in.

Still dressed in white and still had a look of indifference, Gu Qing looked at her with great interest.

"I changed my style today? I used to be swaggering when I entered the door, so why are I sneaking around today?"

Zhang Huaiyu said dissatisfiedly: "You are sneaky!... Has the Jiannan Dao Jiedushi not left yet?"

"Didn't leave, he and his entourage live in another villager's house."

"Why didn't you drive him away?"

Gu Qing was surprised and said, "Are you crazy? I am just a farmer, and that is the governor. Do you think I have the courage to drive him away?"

Gu Qing stared at her face and said, "Do you know that governor? I found that you have been hiding from him since he came to our village. Are you father and daughter who have been separated for many years?"

Zhang Huaiyu sneered: "You really dare to think about it."

"Or have you robbed him during the process of being a hero? Beat him?"

Zhang Huaiyu didn't want to speak and threw a bloody piece at him.

Gu Qing subconsciously reached out to catch it: "What?"

"beef."

Gu Qing hurriedly turned his head and looked at the cowshed on the north side of the yard, where there was a live cow that was taken back by Zhang Huaiyu.

"You finally stretched out your clutches to it..."

"I bought it! I bought it from a restaurant in the county town. You said you can make beef, go and make it quickly." Zhang Huaiyu said impatiently.

Gu Qing was shocked immediately. Beef, it doesn’t matter how much I ate in my previous life, but the beef in this life is too precious. Strictly speaking, it is illegal meat, and the taste is second. It tastes like a kind of pleasure of doing bad things during the rebellious period of youth. The more illegal it is, the more excited it is.

We must do it well this time.

Gu Qing, who was originally a little tired, immediately became energetic. He first cut the meat, cut the beef into shredded meat and put it in a large bowl, and then mixed it with sauce and salt to marinate it. Unfortunately, there is no cooking wine these days, so the taste will inevitably be a bit faded.

While pickling, Gu Qing turned around and prepared some wild vegetables, green onions, ginger and garlic, and cooked the rice.

Zhang Huaiyu watched Gu Qing busy back and forth, and a smile appeared in her indifferent eyes.

"You are such an alien. I haven't heard of any man who knows how to cook these days. This kind of thing is usually done by women."

Gu Qing said without looking back: "Will the man starve to death before getting married?"

"I had a mother do it before getting married."

"I don't have women at home. Besides, it's not that I'm bragging. Women in the world may not cook more delicious than me."

Zhang Huaiyu's eyes changed a little, and she suddenly sighed: "You must have lived a hard life alone over the years, right? You don't have parents around you to take care of you, so everything can only be done by yourself. Is this how you practice cooking skills?"

Gu Qing laughed: "I didn't even add a show for myself, why did you have to force me to add a show? This forced sensationality made me mentally unprepared, and tears had to be brewed."

Zhang Huaiyu said dissatisfiedly: "I just care about you on behalf of your parents."

Gu Qing suddenly had a meal when washing vegetables, turned his head and looked at her seriously, "You know my parents, and you also came to the village to meet me. To be honest, you might be the daughter-in-law my parents recognized back then, right?"

Zhang Huaiyu was furious: "Nothing nonsense!"
