In the back kitchen, Du Qingchen hurriedly cooked some of his favorite dishes for Master Liu. He made the fastest one first, and instructed Xiao Er, "Send the cold dishes first, and then take the fruit wine I made.

" Got it, boss." The little second-hand swiftly served the dishes.

Su Dong hurriedly stepped forward to help Du Qingchen, but Du Qingchen did not refuse, but just smiled.

In the hall, Magistrate Feng couldn't directly identify his identity, so he began to chat with Master Liu about poetry, but at the moment, Master Liu was feeling that Du Qingchen's braised pork was well done. Eat other people, also said: "Mr. Feng, I'll invite you for this meal." Then there is no reason to talk to him all the time to affect his meal!

"How is this possible?! I admire Mr. Liu very much, and I want to make friends with you. How can you invite me to dinner? Does Mr. Liu hate me, so do you have to tell me clearly?" Feng county magistrate frowned. A wrinkle, showing a little anger.

Qiu You immediately pulled Master Liu's clothes below, he was the county magistrate! Don't do that! Unfortunately, he couldn't tell Master Liu directly, he could only let Master Liu continue to let himself go.

Master Liu really ignored Qiu You, and continued: "How come?! Eat first, eat first!"

Feng County magistrate finally understood, co-author Liu Master didn't want to ignore him, but because he wanted to eat, he became Bar! Feng county magistrate turned his eyes to Liu Tai, and it turned out to be the father and son, and did not run away.

When Master Liu had almost eaten, the magistrate Feng found a topic to start the conversation, "This plate of braised pork is excellent, but unfortunately it is the owner's unique secret, and there is no way to tell me." The magistrate Feng was sincere With a sincere sigh, he really likes it and wants to eat it every day.

Master Liu was stunned for a moment, very interested. Isn't talking about this much more interesting than poetry? Master Liu immediately said, "That's right, it's just that this dish is too greasy, it's better to be less greasy. I think the eggplant with garlic before Qingchen is very good. It tastes very delicious."

"Oh?" Feng Xian Ling came a little interested, "Really?"

"If you want to try it, let someone make it." With that, Master Liu greeted Xiao Er and asked him to add another eggplant with garlic paste.

Xiao Er immediately went to the back kitchen and told Du Qingchen, Du Qingchen was stunned for a moment, but he was still cooking honestly, and soon, he sent it up. Feng county magistrate also felt that this dish was very good after tasting it. It was delicious, soft and fragrant, but he couldn't help sighing, "My home is quite a distance away from here. It would be troublesome if I want to come here for a meal."

Master Liu heard the words. , said contentedly: "That's right, it is someone else, and there is no one like me who lives directly opposite the door."

"I just don't know when Boss Du plans to go to the county to open a restaurant?" Feng county magistrate raised his head and sighed with emotion. .

Master Liu paused, "He's going to the county?!"

"Yeah! I heard Boss Du mention it before."

Master Liu looked aggrieved and lonely, and said to Xiao Er, "Call your boss over, I will If you have something to ask him!"

"Understood, Master Liu, sit down for a while!" Xiao Er hurriedly ran to the back kitchen and told Du Qingchen the matter.

Du Qingchen's scalp felt numb when he heard the words. He didn't deliver vegetables to Master Liu first, but he didn't know what to do. This happened again, but Du Qingchen could only bite the bullet and go out, in front of Master Liu, facing Feng Xian. Ling and Master Liu bowed.

"I heard that you are going to open a restaurant in the county?" Master Liu tried his best to restrain his grievances, trying to calm his voice.

Du Qingchen sighed, glanced at the county magistrate Feng, and cupped his hands: "Yes, I'm going to buy a shop in a few days. I mentioned this to Su Junxia a few days ago, and he said help me find it, maybe a few days later. There is news."

Master Liu didn't say anything, he just felt that he would never be able to eat Du Qingchen's food again, and he was in a bad mood.

Du Qingchen naturally knew that Master Liu couldn't bear him, why did he want to leave this place again? He also said: "I don't plan to leave, but want Du Fugui to go to the county. He and I have the same craftsmanship. I plan to run on both sides, and it won't affect anything."

"Then who is in the restaurant here? What about being a chef? Do you want to?" Master Liu continued to ask.

"I will call Du Youcai over, and then send other good apprentices to the small restaurant, so that they can alternate." It is also to provide these people with a promotion channel, so that they understand that as long as they don't cheat and cheat, then he is here. , is promising.

Master Liu nodded and didn't say anything. It was right for Du Qingchen to go to the future. He should be happy for Du Qingchen. Master Liu was a little excited, "You do it well! What kind of skill is it to open a restaurant only in the county! Cheng, it's better to go to the capital! You are so smart, don't let your intelligence down."

Du Qingchen was stunned, he thought that although Master Liu would not object, he would never be happy, but he didn't expect Master Liu to support him? !

"Master..."

Du Qingchen was a little moved. Master Liu's treatment of him can almost be compared to that of Father Du, and for so long, because of Master Liu, he has done a lot of things, such as takeaways, such as Tao Xiude , For example, destroying the Chen family. Without Master Liu, he would not be able to do anything. I am afraid that he is just struggling to survive, and he is always grateful.

"But the big characters that should be handed in every day still have to be handed in, and I still have to check. Even if you can't come someday, if you come back the next day, you should also make up the big characters on that day and show them to me!" Liu Master stressed.

Du Qingchen: ...

the moved tears were held back in an instant, homework is really annoying!

"Yes..." Du Qingchen saluted.

"What? Boss Du hasn't found a suitable shop yet?" Feng county magistrate became interested. "Maybe I can help you find it." .

Du Qingchen's expression changed, but he had asked Su Junxia before... but it was fine! I just searched, but I didn't say I had to buy it. Even if Su Junxia found a shop for him, he must have found two or three for him to choose, or he couldn't find one. If it's a big deal, he will tell Su Junxia later and let him Don't help yourself to find it.

Du Qingchen said to the county magistrate: "Yes, I haven't found a suitable one yet. If Mr. Feng is willing to help, it would be great! Qingchen is very grateful."

"Then I will ask you when I go back." Feng Xian Said with a smile.

"Then thank Mr. Feng first. If Mr. Feng comes out, it must be the most suitable shop." Du Qingchen thanked.

After Master Liu had eaten his fill, his mind was finally able to go around in circles. After listening to Du Qingchen emphasizing Mr. Feng twice, Master Liu finally felt some doubts and asked, "Are there any villages surnamed Feng in our county?"

Du Qingchen replied speechlessly. Look at Master Liu, this is definitely not true! Feng county magistrate was transferred from the capital, who knows where his hometown is, anyway, not from their county.

Master Liu said again: "It seems that our county magistrate has the same surname as Feng, and you have the same surname." Master Liu turned to the magistrate Feng, "Speaking of him..."

Seeing that Master Liu did not realize that the person in front of him was the magistrate Feng , and even wanted to talk about Feng County Magistrate, Du Qingchen was surprised, for fear that Master Liu would say something bad, he interrupted immediately: "Master! I have finished writing today's big characters, do you want to start Help me see! See if I make progress!"

As expected, Master Liu was interrupted and looked at Du Qingchen, "Okay, bring it here and I'll show it to you. It just so happens that Mr. Feng is also a scholar, and he loves poetry very much, so I'll give you some pointers."

Du Qingchen: Is it public execution... ...

Du Qingchen's face was expressionless. When he saw Qiu You and the other teenagers, he felt helpless in his heart, but he brought it up, and he could only recognize it. Du Qingchen went to get the big characters he wrote.

Behind him, Magistrate Feng heard that Master Liu just wanted to talk a few words about Magistrate Feng, so he continued the topic, "Mr. Liu, what did you say about Magistrate Feng?"

"Oh, he! He is a gentleman. What a good official!" Master Liu said with a smile.

Du Qingchen originally wanted to turn back to block the action, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If this is what Master Liu wanted to say just now, why did he block it? He also put himself in, and he will be judged by so many people later, it is simply a public execution! Du Qingchen sighed and went back to the room to get the words he wrote.

In the lobby, Magistrate Feng's eyes widened slightly, and his breathing was a little short.

He is not a good official. He actually knows it. It has been more than 20 years since he was a middle-aged jinshi, but his official position is getting smaller and smaller. First, he was not aggressive, and secondly, he was really confused at times. He made a lot of mistakes in official documents and did a lot of things wrong. Only then did he get to the point where he is now a sesame petty official in a poor mountain and bad waters.

However, Master Liu actually said that he was a good official! Feng county magistrate has been an official for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has heard others comment on him!

"But...why? County magistrate Feng, obviously he didn't do anything..." County magistrate Feng couldn't help but want to ask clearly.

Qiu You was already in despair. He sat on the side with a blank face, and continued to feel the fear of being dominated by Master Liu, and he had a feeling that Liu Tai would be better than blue, and let him be dominated by this fear for a lifetime! lifetime! !

Master Liu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The sages once said, I do nothing, but the people are self-improving; I like to be quiet, but the people are self-righteous; I have nothing to do, but the people are rich; I have no desires, but the people are self-righteous. Because of Feng County Magistrate's inaction, the people of Pingxing County can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy peace. He is naturally a good official!"

Feng County Magistrate's nose was a little sore, and his eyes were wet, "You, look at him too highly, he Maybe it's just that I don't dare to do anything because I'm afraid of making mistakes and hurting others."

"If you think so, it's even more benevolent. If you cherish the people like this, you'd rather not take a step for fear of making mistakes. Isn't this what a gentleman does? No? No! This is what the sages did!"

"I...Brother Liu! My confidant!"

Feng county magistrate raised his hand to hold Master Liu's hand tightly, tears flashing in his eyes, because he wanted to help Master Liu before. He was ashamed to get on the boat of Tao Taishou. It is rare to have a confidant in life, but he has to use his confidant. He is still a human being!

He has decided that if Master Liu is willing to introduce him, he will naturally be happy to see it happen. If not, it doesn't matter. Master Liu, from today onwards, will be his friend!

Master Liu was very strange, "Why are you so excited? What does it have to do with you?"

In the face of someone as sincere as Master Liu, who is still his own confidant, Magistrate Feng is ashamed, how can he continue to conceal his identity? He said, "Brother Liu just said that there is no village with the surname Feng in our county, and he mentioned that the magistrate Feng has the same surname as me. I... I am the magistrate of Pingxing County!"

Master Liu was also surprised, his mouth slightly opened, After a long while, he recovered his voice and wanted to stand up to salute, but was pulled by Feng county magistrate, "Brother Liu and I have seen each other as friends, and I hope that Brother Liu will treat me like this, without worrying about each other's identities. , only meet with equals!"

When Master Liu heard this, he immediately had a lot of goodwill towards the person in front of him. What bothered him the most was the person who put on an official front in front of him. He had no other major problems, except that his knees were too hard and his knees were too stiff. He couldn't go on, so he couldn't be an official, so he could only teach here. It was rare to see such a humble official, and he was the magistrate of this county. Master Liu also held the hand of the magistrate Feng and said moved: "Brother Feng! Brother Feng, regardless of identity, is willing to meet my peers, I... Brother Feng!"

Du Qingchen saw this scene as soon as he took the things in, the two old people held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, like relatives who had reunited after a long absence.

Du Qingchen: ...

He just went back and got a homework. What happened in such a short time? !

I have to say that Magistrate Feng's literary attainment is much higher than that of Master Liu, and he deserves to be a person who can pass the jinshi examination. In addition, Magistrate Feng does not look like Master Liu. He is used to seeing the words of young children. His words will not feel so ugly, Feng magistrate has his own opinion.

Feng county magistrate's hand holding Du Qingchen's masterpiece was almost trembling, and his brows were furrowed. Seriously, Magistrate Feng has never seen such outrageous calligraphy!

County magistrate Feng glanced at the handsome Du Qingchen, then looked down at the dog crawling character, then looked up at the intelligent Du Qingchen, then looked down at the earthworm character, and finally, couldn't help but sigh, "The ancients said, look at Words are like seeing people, it seems that the ancients also made mistakes!"

Du Qingchen:

"I shouldn't have said anything, but since your words were taught by Brother Liu, it can be seen that he regards you as a disciple. As a good friend of Brother Liu, I am also your elder, so I have to mention a few words to you." When did

you become friends? Wasn't the atmosphere awkward and unfamiliar half an hour ago? Master Liu doesn't even know who you are.

"You really need to practice hard. You are already old, and the strength of your wrist writing has been formed. It is difficult to change, but no matter how difficult it is, you must change it! You have to change it from the most basic places. I see your word, only I'm afraid that I haven't laid a solid foundation before." Master

Liu nodded again and again, "That's why he never studied seriously when he was a child, and he was perfunctory when he was asked to practice calligraphy.

That's it, you can't even write strokes well, so what are you writing? You can only write so that people can recognize it, and you can't talk about any calligraphy." Feng county magistrate shook his head, probably because what he said was too advanced , It sounded very powerful, even Xiao Er couldn't help but look this way frequently.

Du Qingchen stood with a sullen face, letting Master Liu and Magistrate Feng comment.

"Brother Feng, how do you think you should practice?" Master Liu asked humbly for advice.

"Naturally, you have to start from the strokes again, Boss Du! I don't think you need to rush to practice calligraphy directly. Put away the copybooks first, start with the strokes first, and only practice the strokes every day. When do you write the strokes? Alright, let's practice calligraphy again!"

Du Qingchen nodded silently, "Thank you Mr. Feng for your guidance." He vaguely remembered that it seemed to be such a truth, he had heard it before, but he had forgotten it for too long.

Master Liu also suddenly realized, "So that's the case, I always thought that Du Qingchen is already an adult, so I don't need to practice holding a pen and strokes like a child, but I forgot that he has no foundation at all. Brother Feng really has a unique insight.

" It's just that you didn't think of it for a while." Feng county magistrate waved his hand, "By the way, if Boss Du goes to open a restaurant in the county town in the future, it's not good to come back every day to show you what he wrote, so go directly to me! I'll take a look for him."

"So, that's great! Qingchen! Thank you Brother Feng soon!" Master Liu said cheerfully.

"Thank you Mr. Feng." Du Qingchen clasped his fists in a salute, so, wouldn't he be going to and from the county office often? All right! Come in and out often! That way, when doing business in the county seat, no one would dare to come and ask for trouble.

"Brother Liu, if it's all right, come to me too. My house has a yard. Wouldn't it be fun if we drink and write poetry together?!" Feng county magistrate invited with a smile. "That's naturally good. At that time, Qingchen

's restaurant in the county will also open. Let's buy some food and eat, drink and write poetry in your yard. It's also a great pleasure!"

Thinking of the bright future, he nodded again and again, "Okay, that's the way it should be! Boss Du! You have to open it soon! We can't wait."

"It must be..." Du Qingchen chuckled.
