Fengyuan Building is the largest restaurant in the city of Chizhou. On weekdays, most dignitaries are received here, but today, Chi Zaozao booked the place.
When Ni Yuanlu heard what Chi Zaozao said, his face instantly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Chi, we are busy with official duties this time, and we don't just have to inspect this granary."
"If the meal is delayed because of this meal, we can't afford it if His Highness the Crown Prince blames us!"
After hearing what Ni Yuanlu said, Chi Zaozao hurriedly said: "This... Ni Shangshu, this official is also sincere. Besides, even if you are busy with official duties, you still need to eat!"
"It's not where you eat. Don't worry. After you finish your meal here in Xiaguan, I will take you to the granary and let you check it out!"
After hearing what Chi Zaozao said, Ni Yuanlu was still hesitating, and other officials from the Ministry of Revenue couldn't help but said: "Master Ni, Master Chi is right, we are not in a hurry!"
"After a long journey, it's time to have a good meal. Mr. Chi, let's go!"
"Yes! Even if you go out to do business, you can't treat us like animals. You must give us a break and some time to breathe!"
"What happened to the meal?
His Highness the Crown Prince has not set a time limit for us, so what can we do if we are delayed here for a day or two?"
Without waiting for Ni Yuanlu to speak, these officials agreed one by one.
Although Ni Yuanlu was worried, she could only follow these officials to Fengyuan Building. At this time, wine and food had already been prepared in Fengyuan Building.
"Sir, please take a seat!"
Chi Zaozao said with a smile.
Ni Yuanlu was invited to the middle seat. After another pleasantry, Chi asked someone to bring some jars of good wine and kept urging Ni Yuanlu to drink.
Ni Yuanlu herself was unwilling to drink, but she couldn't stand so many people trying to persuade her, so she finally had a few drinks. After dinner, Chi would take them to wash their feet early in the morning.
"Sir, it's okay to have a good meal this time, hehe! We have a foot-washing place in Chizhou Prefecture, and the craftsmanship is beyond words!"
"If the adults don't mind it, how about we go there and give it a try now?
Hehe! The girls in that place are all pretty, too."
Chi Zaozao said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, the eyes of all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue shone brightly, and Ni Yuanlu said solemnly: "Guys! Let's get down to business first. If the things in the granary are not handled well, you and I will have to move our heads!"
this……
After hearing what Ni Yuanlu said, these officials from the Ministry of Revenue realized the seriousness of the problem. They had been eating for two hours.
"Master Ni is right, we can't delay it any longer!"
"Master Chi, please take us to see the granary. We can't lose even a kilogram of this grain. Otherwise, our family will be confiscated and our clan will be destroyed!"
"Master Chi, we are no longer outsiders. If you have a shortage of food here, you can just say so and we will give you time to prepare enough food."
…
Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs said one after another. Chi Zaozao's expression changed slightly, and he smiled and said: "Haha! The adults are so quick to talk!"
"To be honest, my granary in Chizhou City is indeed short of some food, but don't worry, adults, I will get it together as soon as possible!"
"So, according to my opinion, let's not visit this granary. Let's have a good rest today. I will send a few adults away from Chizhou Mansion tomorrow!"
After hearing what Chi Zaozao said, the official from the Ministry of Revenue was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Master Ni, what Master Chi said is reasonable. Let's not go at all. He only needs to make up for the food supply."
After hearing this, Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice: "What if he can't make up for it?"
Chi Zaozao looked at Ni Yuanlu with disgust at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Ni Shangshu, you first came to Chizhou Mansion, and I respect you very much. Why do you always talk coldly to me?"
"I said that there is indeed a shortage of food in Chizhou Prefecture. I will get it together as soon as possible. If Ni Shangshu doesn't believe it, then go check it out!"
"Look at how much food is missing. If there is too much, just take my head!"
snort!
After Chi Zaozao finished speaking, he held up his sleeves and stood aside indifferently. Seeing that the matter had reached this stage, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue all advised him: "Master Ni, why are you angry about this matter?"
"That's right! Master Ni, let's go wash our feet and take a rest first. As for the food, Master Chi can gather it together."
"Yes! As long as we can get it all together and there is enough food when His Majesty the Crown Prince inspects it, then everything will be easy and we don't have to be so embarrassed!"
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue kept talking to each other, and Chi Zaozao's face was full of pride. With these officials talking to him today, Ni Yuanlu couldn't do anything to her.
Ni Yuanlu looked embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "That's it! Mr. Chi, you must replenish this food within the next few days. His Royal Highness may need to use it in the near future."
hehe!
As soon as he heard Ni Yuanlu relent, Chi Zaozao immediately changed his smile and said: "Haha! Ni Shangshu, we have so many granaries in various places in the Ming Dynasty. When His Highness the Crown Prince needs food, he first gets it from granaries elsewhere. What can he do?
?”
"Haha! That's right. It doesn't matter if you get it from somewhere else first!"
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a smile.
Ni Yuanlu couldn't resist these people, so she was dragged to a foot bathing place. Once this man got into a crowd of women or a foot bathing place, he would usually get lost.
Ni Yuanlu even forgot that she was here to check the granary. On the morning of the second day, Ni Yuanlu slowly woke up and stretched out, feeling very comfortable.
"Oh! This is life!"
Ni Yuanlu sighed.
On the side, there were several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who also woke up.
"Master Ni, you slept very comfortably last night. This place is really nice. After washing your feet, you can sleep directly!"
One person said.
"Haha! This Master Chi has really figured out our thoughts. Alas! He is so smooth, so we can't be cruel to him!"
Another person said with a smile.
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice at this time: "This time, I won't care about you anymore. If you are still like this when we get to the next place, I will definitely report it to the prince and punish you!"
"Haha! Mr. Ni, we have realized our mistake. We have suffered too much from traveling and traveling this time!"
The official from the Ministry of Revenue said with a smile.
They were also worried that Ni Yuanlu would report to His Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally they would not confront Ni Yuanlu at this time and could only try their best to please her.
