There is a saying in ancient books: No matter how delicious something is, don’t eat too much!
A black-bone chicken is not that big for a fool's belly, but if you add a can of soup, it will kill you!
Not to mention that in order to complement the nourishing properties of black-bone chicken, the chef specially added ginseng, velvet antler, fish maw and other tonic substances into the soup!
After one bite, it is extremely delicious! After two bites, the energy is sufficient! But after dozens of bites, no matter how delicious the food is, it is no different from poison.
Originally, all the idiot had to say was, "No, I really can't eat anymore!"
Xiao Han, who was always considerate of his subordinates, would borrow a ladder to get off the donkey. There was no way he would really let this guy eat this pot of soup!
But the idiot got into trouble today and stopped three times in one meal. He drank all the black chicken soup from the jar, which was not much smaller than a wine vat!
Of course, the end result of this was that he groaned all night long and suffered nosebleeds, which almost made his roommate Xiaodong think that the food was poisonous, so he arrested the cook.
It was not easy to survive the whole night.
Early the next morning, Ziyi got up early and went to the Yamen to discuss the food issue with the county magistrate, squire, and grain merchants.
For a business like this, Xiao Han didn't need to personally take part in it, as he wouldn't lose his identity, so he asked Ziyi to negotiate on his behalf.
Xiao Han originally thought that such a large grain transaction would be discussed for a long time.
After all, food is no more important than other commodities in today's society. Suddenly withdrawing so much at one time can easily cause local prices to skyrocket, and then cause panic among the people. Therefore, a detailed and feasible regulation must be established!
However, he did not expect that even within an hour, someone reported that Ziyi had returned by carriage.
"Why are you back so early? Is there something wrong? Isn't there not much food here?"
In the mansion, when he heard that Zi Yi was back, Xiao Han tensed up and immediately left the messenger behind and hurried to the front yard.
When he arrived at the front yard, he saw Ziyi getting off the carriage, so he quickly stepped forward and asked, "How's it going? There's not enough food here?"
When Ziyi heard the sound, he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Han. He turned around and said to him, "Master Hou."
Xiao Han was anxious and waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about these false gifts, food is the most important thing now!"
Ziyi stood up, looked at Xiao Han with a smile and said: "Master Hou, you are worrying too much. The Huzhou County Magistrate heard about the amount we need. Although he also had a toothache, after discussing with the grain merchants, he felt that it was not enough.
"
"Oh? Isn't the official salary alone not enough?" Xiao Han's brows relaxed, but his expression still seemed a little disappointed.
"Not enough." Ziyi shook his head and said softly: "There is so much food needed to supply the army, how can it be possible with the official food in one place? I heard what they were talking about, they should use the food in the official warehouse and the free warehouse first.
, and then the rest will be transferred from several surrounding counties, so that we can barely reach the number we need."
"Haha, it seems that I still overestimated the saying that 'Huguang is familiar with the world'." Xiao Han originally planned to do all his work in one place, which saved him from running around.
But now it seems that he still thought wrong about the grain output and reserves at this time, so he had to smile bitterly and stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xiao Han was still thinking about the food, but Ziyi unnaturally crossed his arms.
She rode a carriage back and forth, so the clothes on her body were naturally not too heavy. At this time, Xiao Han stayed in the yard to talk for a while. Her thin clothes were already frozen through, and the cold wind penetrated, which made her pretty face turn pale.
.
"They must hurry up to raise food. Spring is about to begin, and the wind waits for no one... Huh? What's wrong with you, Ziyi?"
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Han finally let out a long sigh. It was also at this time that he realized something was wrong with Ziyi. Why was her face so pale? Her body was still trembling?
"Oh, Leng, why didn't you say anything?" Xiao Han slapped his head in annoyance, and quickly took off his fur coat, put it on Zi Yi's body without any explanation, then took her cold hand and ran all the way to the house.
Putting on clothes and holding hands, Xiao Han did these actions subconsciously, without thinking about the relationship between men and women at all.
After all, he is usually careless and careless, and he doesn't behave properly when he gets into trouble with the idiot Xiaodong and others. It is common for him to hook up with others, kick him, and hit him.
So at this moment, he was holding Zi Yi's hand and just walked forward. He didn't notice that Zi Yi's face behind him, which was slightly white from the cold, turned into a ripe red persimmon at this moment.
"He put his clothes on me and held my hand..."
Smelling the clothes that still smelled of Xiao Han, Ziyi blushed so much that he almost bled. His movements were more like a marionette, and he could only mechanically follow Xiao Han into the front hall.
"Sit down quickly, are you stupid? Why don't you say anything when it's so cold! Look how cold your face is..." Anxious, he pulled Zi Yi to the stove in the main hall. Xiao Han was about to pull her to sit down and warm up by the fire, but suddenly he
Found something wrong.
"Huh? Wasn't your face turned blue from the cold just now? Why is it so red now?!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Han wanted to slap himself again.
Why is it so red? Isn’t it because my claws are holding onto other people’s hands?
Time seems to have frozen at this moment!
Xiao Han, who knew the reason, should have let go immediately, but for some reason, he had no intention of letting go at all, and Zi Yi made no move to pull away.
The two of them just kept holding hands and standing in front of the burning stove.
"boom……"
In the corner of the room, the sound of a heavy object falling broke the stagnation.
"who!"
Hearing the sound, the two people holding hands separated like lightning, and then looked together towards the place where the sound came from!
There, a huge butt flashed and disappeared, leaving only a flower stand lying on the ground.
"What a tragedy! How did you break up the Marquis's tryst with his lover? It's over now. Will he kill me to silence me?"
The idiot holding a vase in his hand ran very fast on the path in the garden!
At this time, he finally understood the benefits of this twisted path. It is not easy to chase people!
Speaking of which, the fool is also memorizing it.
Originally he just wanted to walk his legs and eat something, but as soon as he arrived at the front hall, he saw Xiao Han running in with Ziyi.
In shock, he hurriedly hid in a corner, searching around for an escape route while hiding.
Finally, while the two of them were in a daze, the idiot touched the back door. He just wanted to sneak away without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that his butt was too big and knocked down the flower stand.
As a result, it turned out like this: He caught the vase, but failed to catch the flower stand...
