    Chapter 17

    As soon as he rushed up, the other officials followed him, and the whips lashed like raindrops.

    Soon, the situation was brought under control.

    When asked about the situation, it turned out to be a fight for a few steamed buns.

    In order to survive, what is courtesy and integrity?

    Mr. Zeng was lazy to break the lawsuit for them, and those who did it all whipped ten whips and said harshly, "If I see someone fighting again, I will be fined for two days not to eat."

    This is scarier than any punishment.

    The taste of hunger will drive a man crazy, and after two days without food, he has to walk dozens of miles, and he will be disabled if he does not die.

    Everyone was silent like a cicada, obedient like sheep.

    Only then did Master Zeng return to his original position. Looking at the smiling Mu Wanqing, he said, "Well, I can only give you one more place, otherwise I won't be able to convince the public."

    The sky is full of bids, and the price is on the ground.

    Mu Wanqing pondered for a while.

    "That's great. Thank you, my lord. My father and brother are honest and careless people who are always bullied. Please take care of me in the future."

    This has been seen long ago, otherwise Lord Zeng would not dare to remove their shackles.

    Tsk tsk tsk, the two people in the second room together are not as conscientious as Mu Wanqing.

    There is no girl more clever than her in the entire Mu family.

    "With you here, who can bully them? It's a blessing for the Mu family to have you."

    Smart, capable and protective of shortcomings, really want to have such a daughter, even a daughter-in-law.

    It's a pity that his son is still young, and the two are not well-matched in age.

    Mu Wanqing suddenly said, "I have two more requests."

    "Qing'er." Second Master Mu was very worried, for fear that she would offend the official.

    Master Zeng looked at her fixedly, "Tell me about it, I may not agree."

    Mu Wanqing patted her father's arm and comforted her silently, "First, our family of five will eat together, so everyone can save trouble. Of course, my family doesn't take advantage of yours, and I will give you one or two silver coins every day."

    A tael of silver is not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family of five to eat for several days, but it’s not like that.

    Eating with the officials, you can eat hot meals and dishes without worrying about what to eat every day, and it also acts as a deterrent.

    If you want to bully their second room, you must first consider the officials behind you.

    This is called pulling the flag to make tiger skins.

    Master Zeng pondered for a while, guessed her convoluted thoughts, and had to admit that there was a gap between people.

    But looking at Mu Erye, who was at a loss and didn't understand, he was balanced, his daughter was smart and the old man was stupid. "Row."

    It's not good to eat and drink, but as long as the money is reasonable, he has no reason to refuse.

    Mu Wanqing has no salary, so she has to fight for the interests of her employees. "Second, what do you live in, what do I live in, in the same way, I will pay for the cost."

    She doesn't want to squeeze a room with too many people, she wants to sleep on a clean bed every day, and occasionally take a hot bath.

    As for the father and brothers, they sleep on the ground, while other men and women slept together in the bed.

    Master Zeng was very cheerful, "Yes."

    Food and lodging are all settled, and Mu Wanqing's worries are mostly gone, and she has more confidence in the future.

    As for who to choose, Mu Wanqing did not decide on her own, but let her family make their own decisions.

    The brothers of the Mu family were very surprised. Is there such a good thing?

    However, they are very humble and give the opportunity to each other.

    One is that the eldest brother wants to let his younger siblings, and the other is that the elders are orderly, and it is the elder brother's turn first.

    Mu Erye and his wife are in a dilemma. The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat. This is a dilemma.

    Mu Wanqing was very satisfied when she saw that they were all humble to each other, and it was worth her effort. "Actually, it only takes a few more days and I can get the other one out of the shackles too."

    This time everyone believed it, and the facts were right in front of them.

    Mu Zicheng is the eldest son of the second room. He is relatively weak, not as strong as mu Ziang, so he was chosen.

    Now, the outlaws are in a frying pan. If one is left alone, how can there be another? Why?

    Master Zeng looked indifferent, "Just because Miss Mu San wants to cook for us, Mu Zicheng is her helper, and Mu Zhongping is to help us deal with trivial matters in our lives."

    Someone shouted unwillingly, "We can cook too, why didn't you pick me?"

    The chef complained coldly, "Who told you not to behave?"

    The reason was so powerful that everyone was speechless.

    Old Mrs. Mu told herself not to carry it with Mu Wanqing, but, seeing the second room gradually getting better and worse, the envy in her heart grew like weeds.

    The reason was temporarily covered by jealousy, "Three girls, you really know how to go to the camp, flatter, slap on the horse, our Mu family is ashamed of you."

    Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, did she remember to eat or not? Or is it because she can't beat the old lady?

    "Lord Zeng, old lady Mu doesn't like you, and scolds you for not being a good person."

    She was a little tired, so she didn't get started directly, and took advantage of her strength.

    Master Zeng looked at him with a hesitant expression, Old Madam Mu poured it down like a basin of cold water from her head, her mind was clear, and she was also afraid, "I don't, you are talking nonsense."

    Mu Wanqing just smiled politely, "What kind of person does flattery describe? What kind of person is acceptable?"

    Is a traitor! They are all bad guys!

    The old lady Mu wanted to understand this, her face turned green, she didn't think so much.

    Master Zeng glanced at the sky, "It seems that you are too full to eat, so let's walk to eliminate food."

    As soon as he beat the gong and drum, everyone got up and set off.

    Old Mrs. Mu's eyes darkened, she almost fainted and wanted to die!

    But she didn't dare not to listen, so she had to get out of the car and walk. After walking for a while, she was out of breath, sweating profusely, and kept begging for mercy.

    She had been in prison and thought it was the worst in the world, but now she found out that it wasn't.

    The officials did not answer her, so she had to bribe the officials with money.

    "You can take the car tomorrow."

    Old Madam Mu was half worried and half happy, "Then today..."

    Uncle Mu gave her a wink, "Mother, stop talking, I'll help you go."

    She challenged other people's authority, and they were determined to teach her a lesson and make her stand up.

    The old lady Mu had never walked so far, fainted several times, and was woken up by cold water.

    Wake up and keep walking, no negotiation unless you die on the road.

    She was not spared because of her old age and frailty, which made all the exiles shudder.

    Don't offend the officials!

    This is the first time that Master Zeng has shown his cold side, and frightened the exiles.

    Old Mrs. Mu regretted so much, why couldn't she control her mouth? But as soon as she saw Mu Wanqing, she was furious and wanted to tear her face off.

    She realized once again that she was no longer the old lady of Jin Gui's official family, but an outcast who was a cheap ant, and she died in vain.

    In the end, she was supported by her children and grandchildren to complete the journey. Old Mrs. Mu walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Her whole body was floating, and the pain was numb.

    Seeing the gate of the inn from a distance, the old lady Mu finally fainted with confidence, which made the Mu family jump.

    After entering the station, the official asked for a few ordinary rooms, one for several people.

    According to the negotiated conditions, Mu Wanqing could pay for a room by herself.

    She never wronged herself, how to feel comfortable.

    But they will also pay attention to their proportions, so as not to exceed the standard of food and accommodation for officials, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

    Before Mu Wanqing could wash up, she was called to work in the kitchen.

    She washed her hands cleanly, twisted her hair up, and made every move with a sense of solemnity.

    It's a sense of ceremony.

    The chef couldn't say what it was, but he was shocked inside.

    Peanuts and sesame seeds are ready, Mu Wanqing first fiddles with oil tea noodles, while teaching Mu Erye and Mu Zicheng how to do it.

    The two listened attentively, and Second Master Mu was still repeating it, for fear that he would forget it.

    Second Master Mu can do carpentry work, and his hands are very dexterous. He was a little clumsy at the beginning, but what Mu Wanqing instructed can always be done.

    Even if this process is not very smooth.

    Mu Zicheng was a long way off, his hands were not so flexible, and sometimes he would be a disservice, so Mu Wanqing simply drove him to start the fire.

    It took twenty minutes to stir-fry the flour, and the hands couldn't stop. It was a delicate job.

    This has no technical content in the first place. If you want to make it delicious, the key is the heat and proportion of frying.

    This point Mu Wanqing can control the whole process.

    And she started making dinner with fresh pork belly and eggs, so she made a braised pork stew with eggs.

    Officials are from poor backgrounds, and they travel long distances that consume physical strength.

    Wash the pork belly and put it in cold water, then add wild ginger and green onion, but unfortunately there is no cooking wine.

    "Brother, let's set fire to it."

    In fact, burning fire is also a technical task. It was the first time mu Zicheng came into contact with him, and the cook helped him to start the fire.

    The meat is cooked, picked up, and cut into square pieces, each about the same size.

    Eggs are also cooked and peeled.

    Put sugar in a hot pot and fry over low heat until it turns into caramel color, then pour in the pork belly and stir fry, it will be colored in a while, add ginger, chive white, cinnamon, pepper and other ingredients to fry, fry the fragrance and pour in the water , The water should cover the pork belly, and then put the round eggs in. Then she covered the pot, boiled it on high heat, and simmered it on low heat, and the aroma of the meat came out a little bit.

    Taking advantage of this time, she stirred up a pot of green vegetables. The braised pork was too greasy, so she served a vegetarian dish. The combination of meat and vegetables was the most reasonable.

    When the vegetables are out of the pot, the color is emerald green, which looks very attractive.

    Deputy Team Li smelled the smell and came in. He was stunned when he saw the vegetables. He only liked meat and not vegetables, but when he saw this plate of vegetables, he couldn't help swallowing.

    "I'll help you try the dishes."

    He found an upright reason, and couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and take a bite full of delicious, crispy and delicious taste.

    He was shocked, this is green vegetables? If green vegetables taste like this, he likes it too.

    The chef quickly grabbed the chopsticks and was stunned.

    "Miss Mu San, how can we keep it from turning yellow and maintain the crispy texture?"

    Mu Wanqing patiently mentioned, "This is a test of the chef's mastery of the heat and requires practice. The most critical step is to cover the pot and simmer for a while when it is half-cooked, so that the water can be fully locked."

    "One more thing, the salt can't be put too early. Adding it before the pot will keep the taste more tender."

    The chef felt that she was the best girl in the world, and he couldn't be more grateful, "Understood, thank you Third Miss."

    From now on, this is his master, a teacher for one day and a father for a lifetime.

    Huh, something seems wrong?

    The braised pork is almost the same, slowly collect the juice, wait for the thick soup to wrap around the meat, and the color changes, and you're done. "It's ready to serve."

    Before the pot came out, Vice Captain Li was dazed by the fragrance, and took a chopstick and stuffed it into his big mouth.

    Fat but not greasy, soft but not rotten, melts in your mouth, and delicious flying.

    "Well, Miss San, you are this." He swallowed a mouthful of braised pork and gave a thumbs up, his eyes full of surprises.

    From today, this is his own sister, the kind of half-sister!

    Mu Wanqing took her own portion and took her father and brother back to the room to eat.

    A group of officials rushed in, and when they saw these dishes, they screamed with excitement, scrambling to grab the food.

    "Don't worry, everyone has a share, wait in line." The cook was in a hurry and tapped the pot with a spoon.

    At the moment of food, who still talks about the rules.

    Each bowl of rice has a spoonful of rich soup, a spoonful of braised pork, a spoonful of fried vegetables, and an egg.

    A mouthful of soft and crispy braised pork, a mouthful of crispy green vegetables, and bibimbap with thick gravy, every piece of rice is shiny and shiny, and the delicious soul is flying.

    The marinated egg is golden in color and gorgeous in color, full of gravy, and it is salty and fragrant.

    "Everything is delicious. Miss Mu San's cooking skills are so amazing that she can open a store."

    "I see, she can enter the palace as a royal chef. It's really delicious. She boasts that she is a little fairy. I don't think there is anything wrong with her."

    "Head, letting her be the cook is the best decision you made."

    After the meal, everyone was chatting incessantly.

    Suddenly, someone screamed, "Ah, my purse is gone! There are more than a dozen pieces of silver in it."

    Everyone was startled, "You look for it again."

    The official messed up his whole body, but he couldn't find it. He was sweating profusely. This was all his net worth, and he took it with him wherever he went.

    Master Zeng held his shoulders, "Don't worry, first think about when you lost it? Maybe it will land at this inn, and we will find it separately."

    On the other side, the second room of the Mu family enjoyed a beautiful dinner, and after eating, Mu Zicheng volunteered to go out to wash the dishes.

    As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw something on the ground, and he squatted down to pick it up.

    Hey, it's a rough purse with nothing in it.

    Who dropped this?

    A burst of rapid footsteps sounded in his ears, and mu Zicheng raised his head subconsciously.

    It was a few officials, and their stunned gazes fell on the purse in his... hands.

    The author says:
