Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Sitting in the private room was a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, with a figure as straight as a pine tree and a face that was firm yet gentle.

His eyes were bright, revealing a light of determination and justice.

He had a neatly trimmed beard, which added a bit of majesty and solemnity.

This person is Lord Ji Fanji, the prefect of Jiuyou Prefecture and Mr. Xu’s immediate superior.

Led by Mr. Xu, several people saluted the prefect.

"Ah, Lord Xu, there's no need to be so polite. This is in private, and we can just get along like friends."

He glanced at Yan Nansheng and urged Old Master Xu, "By the way, why don't you introduce him to me quickly."

Mr. Xu first led everyone to sit down, and then introduced them, "Sir, you are too impatient. I know you value talent."

He first introduced everyone in the Yan family, and then under the pressure from Lord Ji, he waved to Yan Nansheng.

"This is my nephew, the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination, Yan Nansheng. Sheng'er, why don't you come over and pay your respects to Lord Ji?"

Yan Nansheng walked forward under Lord Ji's scorching gaze and bowed to Lord Ji obediently.

"My Lord, I am Yan Nansheng, a student from Qinghe Village, Qingshui County."

"Okay, okay, come, come to me."

Yan Nansheng glanced at Mr. Xu, and when he saw him nod, he walked over.

The more Ji Fan looked at the child, the more familiar he felt. He did not have time to think about it and waved his hand to ask the servant to bring the gift he had prepared.

"Today I am just an ordinary person who came to patronize the Yan family's business. This is my opening gift for you. Take it, take it."

A gift from an elder cannot be refused, so Yan Nansheng accepted it.

"Hahaha, okay!" Seeing that Yan Nansheng did not refuse, Ji Fan laughed and nodded.

He stared at Yan Nansheng with a smile in his eyes, "He is indeed a very good young man. Lord Xu and Old Master Yan are so lucky!"

Yan Nansheng also felt that this was a very good elder, who was not arrogant and did not look down on others just because he was the head of a prefecture.

When Mr. Xu mentioned this superior, his tone was full of praise, saying that he was very concerned about the suffering of the people.

He often wore coarse linen clothes to go deep into the people's community to understand their sentiments, understand their real needs and take active measures to solve the difficulties they faced.

He detests corruption and bribery, and will punish them severely if found, without any leniency.

In addition, this official also attached great importance to education and culture.

He believes that only through education can more talented and moral people be cultivated to promote social progress and development.

To this end, he strongly supported the establishment of schools and the recruitment of talents so that the people of Jiuyou Prefecture could have the opportunity to study.

In short, this official has won wide praise and respect for his integrity, honesty, diligence and love for the people, and has become a true parent official in the hearts of the people.

Perhaps, promoting potato production is not difficult.

At first, Yan Nansheng was most worried that the officials in Jiuyou Prefecture only pursued interests and ignored people's livelihood.

That would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Jiuyou Mansion, which was about to face a snowstorm.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that if the superior is such a good official, then no matter how bad his subordinates are, they will have basic conscience.

Thinking of this, Yan Nansheng didn't plan to test it anymore, "Sir, let's serve the food and talk while we eat."

"Okay, serve the food. I'm also extremely hungry. In order to have a good meal today, I even skipped breakfast this morning. Madam even scolded me for bringing disgrace to others. Hahahaha..."

In a cheerful atmosphere, the girls came up with the dishes.

Seeing a group of girls coming in, Ji Fan stood up suddenly with a look of disbelief, "Old Xu, you, you, you, this is so unkind, you didn't tell me that there is such a service here."

This damn old Xu, doesn’t he know that his wife is a jealous person?

For so many years, he didn't even dare to have a concubine. There was only one maid in the mansion who had served him since childhood, and she was only recently promoted to a concubine.

Ji Fan's reaction startled everyone. Yan Nansheng reacted immediately and quickly explained, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. This is our shop assistant. Our vegetarian restaurant is a proper place for eating. There is no such dirty things."

When Ji Fan heard that these girls were vegetarian servants, he looked at them with wide eyes in surprise.

Old Master Xu sat there with a mysterious look on his face, not nervous at all when he saw his superior making a fool of himself.

It's really hard to hold back a smile.

When the girls saw the middle-aged man, who was called the adult, staring at them, they became a little nervous and scared. However, they were afraid that if they showed it, they would offend the adult and bring trouble to their benefactor, so they gritted their teeth and endured the discomfort.

Yan Nansheng sensed their nervousness and quickly asked them to leave.

Perhaps Lord Ji also felt that he was being a little rude, so he quickly sat down and said "sorry" to the girls who were leaving.

The girls paused for a moment, then retreated.

After closing the door of the private room, they looked at each other. No elder had ever apologized to them before, let alone an elder in a high position.

Yan Nansheng's reaction to Lord Ji was also very novel. Whether in this era or in the end times, it was a rare thing for a superior to apologize to someone of a very different status from himself.

Even before the end of the world, Yan Nansheng rarely saw such a kind superior.

Either they act superior because of their status, or they don't take ordinary people seriously.

I don’t know since when, once you become an official, no matter how big or small the rank is, you become the superior one and thus lose the original purpose of becoming an official.

Lord Ji didn't pay attention to everyone's reactions, his attention was all attracted by the delicious food on the table.

Stewed potatoes with pork: Stew potatoes and pork together, the flavor is rich.

Hot and Sour Shredded Potato: Cut the potatoes into thin shreds, add chili peppers and vinegar and stir-fry. It tastes sour and spicy.

Dry-pan potato chips: Fry the potato slices until slightly yellow and then stir-fry with various spices to create a fragrant aroma.

Beef stew with potatoes: Potatoes and beef are slow-cooked into a rich soup.

Candied potatoes: The fried potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated with sugar sauce, sweet and tempting.

Potato soup: A thick soup made from potatoes, rich in nutrition, this dish is very suitable for children. The little kids in the Yan family like it very much.

Fried baby potatoes: Fry the whole baby potatoes and sprinkle with pepper, salt and other seasonings. It is simple and delicious, and it is Yan Nansheng’s favorite.

Potato Omelet: Mashed potatoes and eggs are mixed and fried into pancakes. It is easy to make and suitable for breakfast.

There were also some potato towers and French fries that were sold during the previous college entrance examination.

"Old Xu, are these all the dishes made from those potatoes you mentioned?"

Ji Fan was so hungry when he smelled the aroma of the dish.

He did not like to accept offerings from his subordinates, and his wife was not good at business, so they lived on his salary and a few shops owned by his wife's family, so they always lived a tight life.

"I've heard the butler in the mansion talk about this potato tart before. He heard the butler of the Tongzhi's family say that he ate two skewers of this potato tart and actually felt full."

Did you feel full after eating two skewers? This Tongzhi’s housekeeper is a big eater.
