: Reminiscing the Old

As soon as Chen Peng returned to the restaurant, he was told by the shopkeeper Chen who was waiting at the door that Tao Tang was coming, so he followed the shopkeeper Chen to the most elegant courtyard behind.

As soon as Chen Peng entered the yard, he saw Tao Tang sitting boredly in the yard playing with the teacup on his hand. His iceberg face made the sunset cooler.

Chen Peng bent the corners of the fox's eyes and smiled and walked forward, "Mr. Tao, why do you have time to come to me?"

Tao Tangxun looked over, "You are finally back, I thought you were going to live there!"

"Just, why did I live there?" After responding to Tao Tang, Chen Peng handed the packing box in his hand to Manager Chen, "Uncle, take this to help warm it up, and then serve a table of signature dishes. Lord Tao and I will eat and chat."

"Okay!" Manager Chen took the packing box and walked to the kitchen, looking carefully.

"Shopkeeper, this thing is good, better than a food box. Fortunately, it can keep warm and does not need to be hot at all. Look, the dishes here are still hot. Oh, this dish smells fragrant. Can I taste it?"

Manager Chen also saw the hot dishes in the packed box, and slapped Chef Jiang to the claws of the dish bowl, "Start up, this is for entertaining guests, don't worry, the master will come in two days, and let you learn to make these things from her, so that you can taste them enough. By the way, remember to put the table you want first."

After the shopkeeper Chen finished the instructions, he personally put the packed box cover and carried it back to the backyard. He also brought a pot of high-quality old wine, thinking about letting the two children in the backyard eat and chat.

Chef Jiang is a very good cook and likes to study. I heard that someone came to teach me how to cook new dishes, so I couldn't help but feel happy when cooking. I couldn't help but feel happy, but I opened my head and sang the Dongting Fisherman Song.

His singing caused a lot of sensation. The guests who were having dinner in front, including those in the private room, stopped talking and followed him with chopsticks.

Tao Tang, the new county magistrate who came to the backyard, was in a good mood when he heard this, "Chen Peng, the atmosphere of your store is so good. No wonder it is the largest restaurant in the county."

Chen Peng laughed, "I've been over-rewarded."

He thought to himself, I have never heard of this fisherman song before, who is so good at giving me such a face today!

Manager Chen stood outside the door and heard the conversation between the two people, and thought to himself: Chef Jiang, I want to give you a reward when you look back. You really give Fulai Restaurant a face. I believe you have attracted a lot of guests in front of you, so I have to hurry up and take a look.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Boss, the dishes you packed are still hot. I sent another pot of wine. Do you want to eat it first?"

In front of outsiders, shopkeeper Chen still called Chen Pengdong's family, and these rules still have to be explained.

"Uncle, come in!" Chen Peng responded loudly to the door, and then took Tao Tang into the house.

After the shopkeeper Chen entered the house, Chen Peng remembered to introduce, "Uncle, County Magistrate Tao is my previous classmate. If you have new dishes in the future, you will give him a copy to the county government. He will take office by himself, so you can't let him lose weight."

"Ah, haha, okay, don't worry, I will pack it with me, Lord Tao, I will arrange your three meals in the future. If there is anything wrong with us in the future, don't point it out directly, we will definitely change it."

Although Manager Chen knew that Tao Tang was his nephew’s classmate, he also said a lot of things.

Tao Tang nodded lightly, "Shopkeeper Chen, don't be polite to me in the future. You are Chen Peng's elder and that is my elder. When there are no outsiders present, call me Tao Tang."

Manager Chen poured a glass of wine for each of them, put down the wine pot and waved his hands, "No, no, no, this is not possible, so it's better to call Lord Tao, so as not to cause trouble for you one day if you say the wrong thing. You eat slowly, I'll go and urge you to have some food."

When Manager Chen left, he thoughtfully helped the two close the door.

Tao Tang knew it in his mind. This shopkeeper Chen was a person who knew how to behave. It seemed that he could come to Fu to eat in the restaurant from time to time. He must be very strict and would not say who he met with Chen Peng.

"That girl is really a fool? I thought they were all lying to me today!"

Tao Tang sat at the table and chewed the braised cooking that Chen Peng had packed with relish, thinking: Now it has been a complete transformation, or a shocking reversal. This girl has a very good mind and her skills are really amazing.

Only a half-than-a-half of praise flashed through Tao Tang's eyes, but it flashed away, but was still captured by Chen Peng.

He said jokingly, "You, you can come to our store frequently in the future, and ensure that you eat new vegetables every day. When you don't want to go out, you will send someone to say hello to me. I'll ask the food delivery guy to deliver you takeout."

Tao Tang looked up and stared at Chen Peng with interest, "Dinner delivery guy? Takeaway? What is it?"

Chen Peng was so energetic that he told the new knowledge he had learned from Mingyue today to his classmate and old friend who had been away for many years.

When Chen Peng was twelve years old, he studied in the Imperial College with Tao Tang. Tao Tang was withdrawn by nature. Because he was cold-hearted, he had no friends at that time. He hardly spoke much except for answering questions raised by his teacher in class. However, Tao Tang was a person who could speak and talked endlessly all day long. Even the teacher was afraid of him, for being pestered to recite scriptures. At that time, Xiao Chen Peng became interested in Tao Tang. He was inspiring to heat up the ice cube. Later, Chen Peng not only failed to make Tao Tang become

When he became active, he was affected and talked less. This scared General Luo, for fear that his grandson would have some illness. After all, he forced him to study in the Imperial College. If he had to study hard, his brain would be more than worth it. So he took Chen Peng out in advance and directly to Anyuan City. Later, it turned out that Chen Peng not only had a bad brain, but also used it better because Chen Peng secretly took his private money to Xiling County to open a restaurant.

"By the way, Mingyue said she would select people from the beggars in the county to be a waiter, and said that she would reduce some burden for your governance. But, do you think this beggar can work for us well?"

Tao Tang shook his head, "How did I know? I just came today and I have been busy with Zhang Biao's case for a whole day. I didn't have time to go on the street. Why don't you understand the situation? However, this bright moon is more considered for others than making money."

"However, no one dares to act rashly with Li Da." Chen Peng gave himself a calm mind with a look of calmness, and then said Tao Tang: "Her mother is self-sacrificing for the people. She has the style of a chivalrous man. She used her own strength to save the people of a county. Anyone who mentioned it would praise Gao Yi. She has more eyes than the style of a chivalrous man."

"Li Da? By the way, I heard the village chief mention this person in Wangjia Village today. Who is he?"

Chen Peng told Tao Tang about Li Da again, and finally suddenly remembered Mingyue's instructions, and then added hurriedly, "I said, how do you plan to deal with these local snakes? You are here, don't have to compete with Wang Ba. Li Da just got a pair of children. I think he should be able to wash his hands. However, thanks to him in the past few years, there has been no such thing as smashing and looting on the street. If he really goes home, his wife and children are warm-up, you will have to work hard on public security alone. It's better to just arrange them directly and become a patrol officer, so you will be more worried."

Tao Tang looked at Chen Peng with his eyes squintingly, "My wife and children are warm on the bed? Public security? I can understand what you mean, but where did you learn these new words? Don't say you made them yourself, I don't believe it."

"I learned from Mingyue." After answering, Chen Peng really wanted to sew his mouth.

"So, these ghost ideas were told to you by Mingyue?"

When he met Tao Tang's suspicious gaze, Chen Peng smiled, "We just said this while eating. Li Da was not there at that time, and I don't know if Li Da is willing!"

"By the way, why is Mingyue's mother so righteous? She saved the people of a county, and the court did not commend this matter? You have such a meaningful meal. From business to the happiness index of the people, and also talk about the public security of Xiling County. Are you really worried about the country and the people? Should you talk about military affairs in the next step?"

"How can the court reward him? Seeing Mingyue Niang cured the plague, the court sent Zhang Biao to treat the plague. How could Zhang Biao let go of such a great contribution? He pressed the credit on himself and reported that he went to Anyuan City to ask for a prescription developed by more than a dozen doctors, so the court rewarded him and added a plaque of Zhongyi Xinglin to the doctors he mentioned. Humph, your cousin is not ordinary shameless. It is because of the face of the Mu family and the Wang family that my grandfather killed him without a knife.

With your cousin here again, my grandfather turned a blind eye to the chaos in Xiling County. Besides, he, a military general stationed at the border, is not easy to interfere in the affairs of civil officials without authorization, but he is still very angry. You have to check it carefully when you go back. Anyway, you have to break up. So I just check it thoroughly and support the right way to seek justice for the people. My grandfather will definitely invite you to drink at that time. Oh, by the way, Mingyue, don't say it. Mingyue also gave a recipe for instant noodles and spicy cabbage, which is very suitable for urgent marches and scouts in the military camp."

After saying that, Chen Peng realized that he had said a lot today, so he quickly shut up and picked up food to change the topic for Tao Tang.

"Why are you so busy today? We can just reminisce about the past day and day, but it's important for you to handle the important matters."

"Don't change the topic, don't worry, I won't tell you what you and Mingyue talked about. You should pay attention to outsiders in the future. Not everyone is a good friend to you. If your words are used by someone who is interested and spread to the ears of the person in the capital, it will be very unfavorable to the Luo family and will also implicate your father. Your father should be promoted this year if nothing unexpected happens."

"I am here today to talk to you about the past, and to ask you for help. I heard that General Luo Shen sent Dingxi Army to help arrest the fugitive. This time he was very busy. If the fifty-three serious prisoners really ran away, then Xiling County would be difficult to survive. Thanks to his actions, I can worry less. I guess General Luo Shen has not left yet, so I want to invite him to a meal to express my gratitude. Your Majesty is worried about our military and political collusion, so we are inconvenient to have a big deal, but we can communicate more privately through you. Our relationship will help me better manage Xiling County. Hey, you said, how did General Luo Shen know that someone had escaped from prison? "

Chen Peng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, "Don't mess with me, I really don't know. I'm just a restaurant doing business, so I will know about military and political affairs. But I can help you make an appointment with him, but whether to come here depends on him. If he agrees to go to the appointment, you can ask him personally."

"Well, thank you! I hope you can continue to be so cautious, otherwise you will be slandered in minutes when you return to the capital."

"I won't go back. I'm free here. Why do I go back?" Chen Peng looked like a carefree bird, with his eyes reflecting the vast blue sky that could fly freely.

Tao Tang looked at Chen Peng deeply. Boy, you haven't experienced a kind of grievance yet.
