The doorman came out quickly and said, "Madam, please come in."

Zhang Hulan asked Zhang Hujun to wait outside, and then followed the gatekeeper into the backyard of the county government office.

Seeing Ye Hongyun, Zhang Hulan knelt down and saluted, "Meet Madam Ye!"

Ye Hongyun smiled and raised his hand, "No need to be so polite."

"You came here today, are you here to ask the master something?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Hulan said, "I made some food and planned to sell it to several restaurants in the city, so I brought some over for Madam and Lord Wu to try. I was afraid that Madam and Lord would dislike it."

"Oh? You want to do business? What kind of food do you make? Let me see it. If it suits your taste, I'll buy some."

"The food is on the donkey cart outside. Madam, you can go outside and see what you like to eat."

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Ye Hongyun immediately stood up and walked outside.

Zhang Hulan felt that the county magistrate's wife's personality was similar to hers, she was impatient. Moreover, Ye Hongyun did not act like an official's wife, making people feel very close to her.

When they came outside, Zhang Hulan lifted the lid of the pot and let Ye Hongyun see it.

There was nothing suitable to put the meat in at home, so Zhang Hulan just brought the pot over. It was covered with a lid, so it was clean.

Ye Hongyun was stunned when she saw what was in the pot. She originally thought that Zhang Hulan had made some snacks, but it turned out to be a pot of meat, including pig heads and pig intestines.

People of their status would not eat these things. Only the poor people would buy pig heads, not to mention the ordinary people.

But the aroma that wafted out after the lid of the pot was opened made Ye Hongyun want to try it.

Zhang Hulan said, "Mrs. Ye, you can try it first. If you like the taste, you can take some."

"Don't worry, Madam Ye. Although the things are not good, I washed them very cleanly."

Ye Hongyun wanted to try it, but was afraid it would not taste good.

If I say to the maid beside me: "Try it first."

There are pre-cut meat slices in the pot, specially for tasting.

Zhang Hulan handed over a handful of bamboo sticks, and the maid immediately understood what she meant. She picked up a bamboo stick and picked up a small piece of pork head meat and put it into her mouth. After chewing it twice, her eyes slightly squinted, and then the little maid picked up another piece.

"Madam, this meat is delicious..."

"I have never eaten meat that tastes like this."

Zhang Hulan pointed at the pig intestines, sausage rolls, and tripe strips and said, "Try these too."

The maid looked at the pig intestines and hesitated for a moment, but still picked up a little and put it into her mouth.

After the maid tasted it, her perception of pig intestines was overturned.

"Ma'am, this is delicious too!"

The maid then tasted the sausage rolls and tripe strips, and she thought the pig head and large intestines were better. The pig tongue and pig ears were also good, but the large intestine and pig tongue were the best.

Seeing the maid's mouth full of oil, Ye Hongyun also picked up a piece of meat with a bamboo stick and tasted it, then nodded and said, "This taste is quite unique."

"If Madam likes, I will give you a little of each."

Zhang Hulan looked at the little maid and said, "Miss, please go get some plates."

The little maid looked at Ye Hongyun. After Ye Hongyun nodded, she immediately went to the kitchen to get the plates.

Zhang Hulan took a pig's ear and tongue, and also some large intestines, sausage rolls, and tripe strips. She cut the pig's head into a pig's snout, which is the pig's nose. The meat here is delicious.

The maid took the meat back to the kitchen.

Ye Hongyun asked: "How much is this meat?"

Zhang Hulan waved her hands quickly, "It's just a small amount, why would you want silver? Lord Wu is a good official, so this is my honor to Lord Wu."

Speaking of Wu Deyong, Zhang Hulan paused and said, "Madam, please don't blame me for being nosy. Lord Wu is a bit plump, so try not to let him eat fatty meat; don't eat too much pig head meat, but it's okay to eat some pig ears and pig tongues. Try to let Lord Wu eat more vegetables and exercise more."

Ye Hongyun said helplessly: "I didn't let him eat too much fatty meat, but he just likes it and can't live without meat for a day. He doesn't have any other hobbies, so I can't control him too much, otherwise his life will be too boring."

"Then let Lord Wu exercise more. More exercise can help lose weight."

"Exercise more? How do you exercise?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Just get up and run every morning. Start by running for a short while, then slowly increase the distance. Run six or seven miles a morning. If you stick to it for a month, you should be able to lose some weight."

"Run outside?"

"Yes, go outside for a run. The air outside is good in the morning. After running, your body will feel tired, but you will feel more energetic."

Ye Hongyun laughed and said, "How embarrassing that would be. Wouldn't it be like a fool if I kept running outside?"

Zhang Hulan thought about it and realized that there seemed to be no one running here. If someone kept running on the street, and it was the county magistrate, it would indeed attract a lot of people to watch. So Zhang Hulan said, "Then let Lord Wu do aerobics at home, or even fitness exercises."

"Aerobic exercise? Aerobics? What is this?" Ye Hongyun said she had never heard of these two words.

Zhang Hulan explained: "It means exercising at home, with your hands, feet and whole body doing regular movements."

"What actions should we take?" Ye Hongyun asked.

Zhang Hulan said, "How about this, Madam? I will go to the restaurant to discuss the business first, and then I will come back to teach you what to do."

Ye Hongyun said, "Okay, then which restaurant are you going to? How about I go with you?"

Zhang Hulan waved her hands quickly, "No, no, no, no, how can I trouble you to make a trip in person? I can go by myself."

In fact, with Ye Hongyun by her side, her business might be easier to negotiate.

Zhang Hujun didn't dare to speak the whole time.

Wow..., it seems like the relationship between the eldest sister and the county magistrate's wife is very good...

The first restaurant they came to was called Manfulou.

After Ye Hongyun got off the carriage, Zhang Hulan was about to go into the restaurant to find the owner.

The shopkeeper came out with a big smile on his face. He bowed to Ye Hongyun and said, "Oh... No wonder there was a magpie calling at the door this morning. It turned out that Madam Ye came to visit our store."

Ye Hongyun smiled and said, "Manager Hao, I'm here to introduce you to some business."

Shopkeeper Hao looked puzzled.

Ye Hongyun introduced: "This is Zhang Hulan. She brought some unique food today and wants to discuss business with you."

Zhang Hulan immediately greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Manager Hao!"

Manager Hao looked at Zhang Hulan, then smiled and nodded. He had to give her some respect since she was introduced by the county magistrate's wife.

Officer Hao invited Ye Hongyun and Zhang Hulan into the private room of the restaurant. After personally serving them tea, he asked, "What kind of food did Madam Zhang bring?"
