Bai Lihan said: "Second Grade."

The man said quickly: "My lord, please wait a moment, I will go to clean up

the room."

After waiting for a while, the two people entered the room. It was very clean.

There was a kind of straw paper on the wall. The color was not good, but it

could prevent the wall from falling ashes.

The bedding on the bed is new, but Zi Xu thinks it is better to use his own.

After the two settled down, they went out and wandered around. The people in

the city did not show bitterness, but there was an indescribable overstepping.

The two sat in a small noodle stall. It was a mother-in-law and her daughter-

in-law who cooked the noodles, both of them wearing veils.

The mother-in-law asked: "The two guest officials eat vegetarian noodles or

meat noodles?"

There is meat.

Zi Xu smiled and said, "Here are two bowls of meat noodles."

"okay!"

After waiting for the noodles, Zi Xu discovered that it was beef, a large

slice, and very affordable.

Bai Lihan asked: "Can you eat beef here?"

The mother-in-law nodded: "Yes, since Lord Huang took office, we have allowed

us to raise cattle and eat beef.

Pork is also available, but few pigs are raised. After all, there is not so

much hogweed here.

There are also sheep. Every festival will have roasted whole sheep, which is

raised by Mr. Huang himself. He will take out two of them and roast them, and

then feed them to the people in the city.

No matter what your status is, even if you are a beggar, you can be assigned.

"

Zi Xu nodded: "Master Huang is a good person."

The mother-in-law smiled: "Yes, it's a pity it's a bit ugly, no one wants to

marry him, now it's thirty-five, hey..."

Zi Xu: "..." It is probably that Mrs. Huang didn't want to buy a woman to be a

daughter-in-law. Otherwise, there were officials in ancient times. How could

the rich lack women?

Bai Lihan put the meat in the bowl to Zi Xu, then took a chopstick noodle from

her bowl and went back.

The mother-in-law looked at it and smiled.

Zi Xu smiled, Bai Lihan never cared about being watched. He belonged to the

kind of people who sprinkled dogs and food wherever they went.

She ate it obediently, the beef tasted very fragrant, and it was marinated

with a little salt, so you can taste the taste inside.

Bai Lihan saw a large piece of beef next to him and asked, "How much does your

beef cost?"

The mother-in-law said: "Beef is not expensive, ten cents is a catty, pork is

20 cents, and mutton is 15 cents."

Zi Xu nodded. The price is indeed not expensive, but pork is a bit more

expensive than other places.

Pigs have fat, so they raise some for this fat.

Seeing that Zi Xu had finished eating, Bai Lihan took out her veil and wiped

her mouth and hands.

Zi Xu asked: "There is not much grass here, how do you raise cattle?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "If you want to raise cows, then give the

cows to Master Huang. He arranges people to graze them. Some storage fees are

needed for a month, but it's not much.

Master Huang doesn't want the money, and it will be given to the herders, but

if the cow is bitten by a wild beast, or gets sick or dies, the grazing people

will pay half of the compensation, and Master Huang will pay half.

Up to now, there have been losses in the first two years, and then no losses

have been used. Those grazing people have all released experience. "

Zi Xu nodded: "This Master Huang is very smart and knows unified management.

This grazing should be in the suburbs, right?"

The mother-in-law nodded: "Yes, we have a natural pool here. The water is

constant all year round, even during the drought.

Had it not been for the sky spring, we would have died long ago. "

The mother-in-law was a bit sentimental.

Bai Lihan raised his hand to help Zi Xu put on his cap: "Where do you sell

cows here? We want to buy some."

"You have to tell Master Huang, he will sell it to you if he thinks it can be

sold, otherwise he won't sell it.

In the past, some merchants thought our beef was delicious and wanted to buy

it back.

Mr. Huang said that the local people's food rations must be guaranteed, and

then the extra food can be sold. "

Zi Xu was interested in this Master Huang in his heart. He wanted to see how

ugly he was, but it was really impossible. She didn't mind a minor operation.

The two of them went to the city lord's mansion after giving the money. Huang

Yushun was the county magistrate and city lord part-time here, and the court

rarely took care of things here.

It feels like letting it fend for itself.

After the announcement, Huang Yushun personally came to the door to greet him.

After all, he was a fifth-rank official, and Zi Xu and Bailihan were both

second-rank officials.

Zi Xu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Huang Yushun at first sight,

because he had a face with Chinese characters and normal facial features, but

he had lumps on his face.

To be honest, this is really ugly, and I can't eat anything.

Huang Yushun smiled: "I'm sorry, I scared the two adults."

Bai Lihan shook his head: "Looking at you like this looks like poisoning."

Huang Yushun shook his head: "No, the imperial doctor once showed it to the

next official and said it was caused by the fire."

Zixu said, "He has a strong stomach, do you eat too much? You also like to eat

hard to digest?"

Huang Yushun nodded fiercely: "It's just that, if you eat less, you will soon

become hungry, and the same is true for those that are easy to lose."

Zi Xu nodded: "It's not a big deal, just take two sets of medicine to adjust

it, but the scars on the face need to be put on some plaster, which can be

cleaned in less than two months."

Huang Yushun is unfamiliar with things in Beijing, so he stared at Zi Xu

blankly.

Bai Lihan said: "Then give him a recipe. It's pitiful to find a wife at such

an age."

Huang Yushun: "..." I don't think so.

Zi Xu smiled: "Okay, we can't talk outside, right?"

Huang Yushun said immediately: "Please follow the officer to the study."

Said it is the City Lord's Mansion, it is actually a two-in-one yard with

three rooms in it, with Huang Yushun's master bedroom in the middle and the

study on the left.

On the right, there seemed to be an old man, and a woman was standing at the

door.

The study was not big, Huang Yushun invited Bai Lihan to sit down, but Bai

Lihan took Zi Xu's hand to let her sit down, and he sat on the stool next to

him.

Huang Yushun: "..." Do you have to spoil your wife so much as a high official?

Seeing that there was a pen and paper on the table, Zi Xu wrote the

prescription, and took out a box of plasters to him: "This medicine is not

expensive. The plaster is a valuable item. Don't give it to others."

Huang Yushun was a little embarrassed, and a little angry in his heart. This

small box was not as big as a duck egg, it was actually a valuable item.

She is asking herself for money in a different way, but how can she have spare

money for her?

A cough came from the next door, and Zi Xu listened: "Has the old man been

coughing for a long time?"

Huang Yushun nodded immediately: "That's my mother. She has been coughing for

half a year. She used to be in good health."

Zi Xu nodded: "There is something in the trachea and needs to be taken out."

"This..." Huang Yushun was dumbfounded, wondering if she really understood or

faked it.

Zi Xu got up: "I'll go and see, you guys can talk."

Huang Yushun wanted to follow, but he couldn't leave Bai Lihan alone.

Bai Lihan smiled and said, "You follow, you have to introduce my lady."

"Yes!"

Huang Yushun immediately followed and entered the next room. He said, "Mother,

this is the general and his wife from the capital. Come and have a look when

you hear you cough."

The smell in the room was bad, Zi Xu wrinkled his nose and coughed to the

point of leaking urine.
