C48 Meals at Liuhe House

"Is this the Command from two years ago when Bethanath sir zhong was chasing after me? As expected, the scenery was good, with just one look, it could see all of Yi County city. Tsk tsk, Liu County Order was also beside them at that time, right? " Xiao Letian stood in front of the window as he looked at the scenery of the city. He sighed with emotion.

At this time, wuxianlian transformation and Liu County Order were already waiting in the room. He politely saluted and stood beside Xiao Letian with an apologetic smile, "A year ago, Bethanath sir zhong said he wanted to take me to see the bandits. How would he know that it was you, a Draconis, that he was capturing them? As the saying goes, it's not that the Draconis is weak, hahaha … "

The Level 7 County Order was the lowest level in Official's class, just below him were the unranked officials. These government officials had already refined the foundation stone into a perfect form of flattery, making Xiao Letian happy with just a few sentences.

"Sit, sit. If others see Liu County Order eating with me, two evil spirits, won't you let others learn from me?" "Hahaha …" Xiao Letian smiled as he sat in the seat of honor.

Liu County Order didn't say anything, but constable head, who was beside him, smiled and said, "I want to see who dares!" In Yi County City, whoever dares to disrespect Mr. Xiao and adults, I, Zhou Tie, will make them beg for death … "

"Alright, alright. I know how amazing you are. Let's sit together and have them serve the dishes …" As Xiao Letian spoke, the surrounding people dared to come to the table. Fan Lian, Liu County Order, Wang Hu and a few officials of County Yamen all sat down with a smile on their faces, waiting for the dishes to be served.

At this time, Owner of the Liuhe Building walked up the stairs. He personally carried a huge porcelain plate with a pair of pure white bear paws emitting hot steam, which were actually a pair of Northern White Bear paws imported from Rakshasi.

Owner placed the plate in the middle of the Table, and before he even reported the name of the dish, he fell to the ground and kowtowed three times, "Thank you, benefactor, for receiving this lowly person's respect …" My god, these three head-banging noises made the ceiling on the second floor turn grey.

Liu County Order discovered Xiao Letian's puzzlement, and immediately said in a low voice, "Liuhe Building's Owner has been bullied by Ning Xi all year round, and has only paid her a thousand taels of silver every year. Furthermore, one of his concubinage has also been humiliated by Ning Xi, so it's only right for me to call you 'benefactor', it's only right …"

Only then did Xiao Letian come to a realization. At that moment, he felt that he was so tall, like he was a hero. He stepped on Ning Xi to death, and he even earned a lot of Reputation points. This business was really worth it.

Xiao Letian raised his hand to signal Owner to stand up, then said to the officials at the table, "Look, people repays kindness by repaying it. As long as you treat them slightly well, they will remember you for the rest of your life. That old bastard, Lian'er, how is he? "His family's wealth was all gone and he had a stroke. He looked really pitiful …"

"But who is to blame? This lowly person is arrogant and complacent, even finding it amusing to bully the weak. How can such a person not have a retribution? Xiao Letian actually taught these guys a hard lesson. What was even more peculiar was that these Liu steels all stretched out their necks as if listening to Shangguan's lesson, their faces full of reverence for teaching.

"Master Xiao's words are reasonable, I am also from people, so I naturally know how bitter people is. Before, salary couldn't possibly just accept bribes, but now, the amount of money I receive from Master Xiao every month is three times the amount of salary. I have already spent enough, so being greedy is not a human …"

Following Wang Hu were the officials who declared their positions one by one. In their eyes, since Xiao Letian had more salary than the court, then the peak of their hearts would naturally be Xiao Letian. Loyalty was something that came with a price. The one who offered the most would be the boss.

Under Owner's instructions, a table of octahedrine surface was carried up. It was no more than sixteen dishes of mountain and water. There didn't seem to be many of them, but the quality was incomparable to that of future generations.

Bear paw, deer antler, elephant pull, hump, fruit beaver, leopard embryo, deer tendon, monkey brain, this is the color of the eight treasures.

Swallow nest, shark fin, black ginseng, fish belly, Yao Zhu, abalone, light vegetables, baby fish, this is water eight precious dishes.

Xiao Letian was dazzled by the sight of sixteen hard dishes gathered together by the Eight Treasures of Mountains and Rivers. It wasn't a big deal if it wasn't messy. Most of the dishes had only heard of its name, but had never seen anything real before. Originally at Prince Kung Manor, Yi? The seats prepared for Xiao Letian were even more sumptuous than this one. It was a pity that in order to explain the Industrial Zones's plan, Xiao Letian did not even have the chance to eat the best of the best.

Today was the day the old turtle was going to have his meal.

In fact, the dishes of octahedrine surface that were passed down since the ancient times varied according to region and season. Normally, if one wanted to eat a real octahedrine surface, other than a large restaurant in the Capital City, a restaurant like the Liuhe Building would have to prepare at least a month ahead of time.

And Liuhe Building Owner, in order to repay Xiao Letian's kindness, spent a total of two months to prepare the goods. Especially that pair of pure white bear paws, which he bought from Russian's Caravan, which he spent a whole hundred liang for that pair of Current silver s.

Fan Lian, who sat beside Xiao Letian, was knowledgeable. With just a glance, he was able to guess the approximate price of the table. It would definitely be impossible to get it without five hundred liang. This kindness of his sure is interesting. It seems that in the future, if there is anything good, I must not forget this thoughtful Owner.

Just as Xiao Letian was explaining some interesting things about the history of the Europe to the group of officials, suddenly, the faint sound of crying and people arguing came from outside the window. Xiao Letian looked outside the window in confusion. He noticed that there was a shadow of a person in a corner not far away. It seemed that there were a lot of people arguing in the alley.

"What's going on?" Xiao Letian asked in confusion. When constable head Xiao Letianson saw that someone had dared to disturb Mr. Xiao's appetite, he got up and left. "mister, take your time. Let me see, who's so daring?"

When Wang Hu walked out of the room, Xiao Letian signaled the guards to follow him. Immediately, the two guards also rushed to catch up.

After a while, the noise outside became louder and louder. It sounded like a woman was crying and crying out that she felt wronged. There was also a strange sound mixed within.

"How can the heavens not open their eyes? Are you trying to force our family to the brink of death? You can even go back on your words! Are you even human?!" "I'll die for all of you to see …" Before he finished his sentence, crowd exclaimed in surprise.

At this time, Xiao Letian also couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up to look and found that the alley around the corner was suddenly surrounded by a group of people. Moreover, there were quite a number of people rushing towards that direction.

Just when Xiao Letian was about to go downstairs to see what was going on, one of Sun Steel-Zhou's Disciple suddenly ran up, knelt on the ground and said, "It's the Little Wang Manor of the east side of the city, the phthisic daughter-in-law. She just crashed into the wall and got killed …"

"Why is that?" Liu County Order quickly asked. He didn't want to lose face in front of Xiao Letian.

"Oh, adults. We can't interfere in this matter, nor can we!" fast catcher said embarrassedly, "This matter is related to the palace. What happened to Knife Liu …"

When they heard the name Knife Liu, everyone's face turned awkward. They could roughly guess the reason why. At this time, Xiao Letian's guards also ran back.

"Reporting to mister, this group of Bastard are truly inhumane. They are simply animal …" From the angry words of the guard, Xiao Letian finally understood the cause and effect. So today's matter was tied to the eunuchs in the palace.

Ever since the establishment of Qing Dynasty, although the number of eunuchs had decreased significantly compared to the Ming Dynasty, it had not been cancelled. Every year, many eunuchs would be sent out of the palace to select Young Eunuch to supplement the palace.

Most of the eunuchs in Qing Dynasty were made up of Baoding, Cangzhou, Great Name and most of the generation of Langfang. On one hand, it was densely populated and there were enough children of appropriate age to choose from, and on the other hand, it was because their accent and lifestyle were very similar to the Capital City's, so there wasn't too much trouble to make use of them.

As such, in the surrounding counties of Capital City, there were branch families that could not afford to raise sons. They cruelly let their children enter the palace to become eunuchs, so at least they could eat their fill.

Knife Liu was connected to the palace. All the eunuchs picked by the Yi County had to sign up from him, and they would be stabbed. Actually, according to the rules, the eunuchs should have been sent to the Capital City to be cut by the honorary rooms. However, due to the fact that there was a certain death rate, the honorable rooms simply saved trouble and let the people below handle it.

After cutting that knife, you survived after ten days. Now you have the qualification to enter the palace and become a eunuch. If you can't survive that, then you can only blame yourself.

daughter-in-law of Little Wang Manor, who was suffering from phthisis, had been growing vegetables and selling them for a living all year round. Since her family was very poor, she brought her son, Er Mao, to Knife Liu in order to feed him.

Knife Liu was actually quite a good person. When he saw that Kid had handsome features and no handicaps, he immediately guaranteed that he would be able to enter the palace. As long as he could live for ten days. It was because of this promise that his mother steeled her heart and allowed her son to be stabbed.

"But who would have thought that this year's eunuchs who were sent to the chamber would be so hateful. He actually asked for bribes from these parents, saying that they had to give him a spot of five liang, or else he wouldn't be able to enter the palace. "Er Mao is f * cking mad, we went to find them to argue, but that Eunuch Zheng actually beat them up without saying anything. Er Mao was too angry, and he ran into a wall …"

"Is he alright?" Xiao Letian's good mood for the day was completely gone.

"I've already invited the doctor over. The person I just saw is still breathing …"

Silence filled the room. Fan Lian gave Xiao Letian a meaningful look, telling him to calm down again. However, Xiao Letian's heart was like long grass. He tore the buckle on his robe and paced back and forth in front of the window.

At this time, Liu County Order also spoke up, "Of course, Mr. Xiao has a merciful heart, but there are too many such things. How many can you care about?" How about this, I will let this woman go to County Yamen to do some menial work, which can be considered as helping their family! "

After Liu County Order said this, everyone sitting around sighed and shook their heads. Even though they were all officials, there were too many people in the Daqing that they couldn't handle. Eunuch in the palace was one of them.

Xiao Letian stared coldly at crowd outside the window. "Go get the best doctor, I'll go take a look …"

When Fan Lian heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart, "My lord, are you going to meddle in other people's business again?"
