Chapter 138 Whole Egg Banquet!
Lingshui Village, Old Xu’s home.
Old Master Xu was sitting opposite the county magistrate Zuo Qiu, who had come from afar, each with a bowl of tea in front of them.
"Dad, Master Zuo, the food is here, you guys eat!"
Xu Laoer came out of the kitchen with a plate of food in each hand.
In the kitchen, Boss Xu took on the important task of being the chef.
The reason why Zuo Qiu was treated so grandly was because he brought good news.
The Prince of Yan and his family had already left Anshun County yesterday and continued to the temple in the south to fulfill their vows.
Hearing the news of Prince Yan's departure, Old Master Xu was overjoyed. He had always felt uneasy knowing that Prince Yan, an old fox, was always plotting against his precious daughter.
Zuo Qiu brought such good news, so Mr. Xu was naturally extremely happy.
The only drawback is that he can't drink alcohol now. Old Mrs. Xu has banned him for three months!
"Brother Xu, I have to thank you!"
Zuoqiu didn't just come to talk about something, but more to express his gratitude.
"Master Zuo, what are you thanking me for?"
Mr. Xu was a little confused.
"Thank you for showing mercy!"
Zuo Qiu smiled and said, "I saw it clearly that day. If you hadn't deliberately injured yourself, the King of Yan would have been injured. If the King of Yan had been injured, I would have been in trouble!"
"That's not the case!"
There was no way Old Master Xu would admit this. "Prince Yan is more skilled. Sir Zuo, you must not say such nonsense!"
Zuo Qiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously as if he had understood everything, saying, "Yes, yes, that's right. Haha, yes, yes, Brother Xu, you really see things clearly!"
Seeing that Zuoqiu had misguided thoughts again, Old Master Xu was too lazy to explain to him. As long as his goal was achieved, it was fine.
"Brother, shall we have tea now?"
Looking at the dishes on the table and then at the big bowl of tea in front of him, Zuo Qiu missed the old wine from the Xu family that he had drunk before.
"Master Zuo, please forgive me. I have a sprained waist and am injured, so I can't drink. It would be disrespectful of you to let you drink alone and get drunk!"
“…”
After hearing Mr. Xu's explanation, Zuoqiu wanted to say, "Don't, even if you are not loyal, I am not afraid of drinking alone, nor am I afraid of getting drunk."
But Zuoqiu is a man of dignity after all, he can't just act like he's greedy for wine!
So, the two of them could only drink tea instead of wine.
Well, drink tea from a big bowl and eat food with big mouthfuls.
That’s right, it’s eating vegetables!
Although Boss Xu was the chef in the kitchen, there was no meat at home, so they could only eat vegetables.
Fortunately, Boss Xu has really learned a few tricks in the restaurant these days, and the dishes he makes are really not bad.
For example, scrambled eggs with chives, scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, scrambled eggs with black fungus, scrambled eggs with spinach, egg drop soup...
A series of eggs of all kinds.
This meal can be called an egg feast.
The reason why there are so many eggs is because the babies in the family need milk. Old Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Li and the wet nurses must have various eggs in every meal.
For this purpose, the Xu family specially collects eggs from the Xu family restaurant.
In a few months, when Fubao and her nephews and nieces are able to eat, I'm afraid their demand for eggs will be even greater.
"Brother Xu, you're living a pretty good life!"
"You have a lot of chickens and ducks at home, right?"
After eating a whole egg feast, Zuo Qiu was very satisfied.
Even though he is a county magistrate, his salary is really not enough for him to provide very good food.
If you are an official and you are a corrupt official, your life will naturally be extremely comfortable.
But Zuo Qiu was an honest and pragmatic official, so his life was naturally quite tight. He could only enjoy a whole egg feast like this less than twice a year.
This afternoon, I took my family to see "King Kong River." While paying tribute to the volunteer army martyrs, I felt humiliated by the director's film. What the hell is this? It really pissed me off! If you're planning to see it, or haven't yet, I have a piece of advice: save your money. We have patriotic feelings, but we're not idiots!
