I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Listening to the roaring sounds, Jiang Yuan's throat moved slightly.

Is this the power of public opinion?

No wonder Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the previous life, who only occupied one state, was able to march north to the Central Plains. So that's how it is!

Just when Jiang Yuan was about to say that he was not on the list, Wang Kun next to him raised his loudspeaker.

"Great! It seems everyone's choice is highly consistent. In that case, the winner of Taiping County's first Taiping Star is Jiang Yuan~Master Jiang!"

"Old Master Qingtian!"

"Master Qingtian!"

Jiang Yuan stared blankly at the almost fanatical crowd in front of him, and for a moment he was at a loss.

Jiang Yuan didn't come to his senses until Wang Gang handed him the wreath symbolizing the championship.

"Quiet! Quiet! Let the adults speak!"

With Wang Kun's intervention, the situation suddenly turned into a polar reversal, and it became so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Tonight, Taiping Restaurant, I'll pay the bill!"

"Oh! Lord Jiang will pay for all the expenses in the venue. Scream!" Wang Kun spoke again, and nearly a thousand people cheered again.

Just then, Wang Kun handed a stack of papers to Jiang Yuan.

"Sir, these are the rewards for all the contestants. Please distribute them to them now."

"It's my duty." Jiang Yuan responded and started to announce directly.

All contestants, regardless of winning or losing, will be rewarded with one-stop service at Taiping Inn.

The top ten to six will each receive fifty taels of silver, the fifth will receive sixty taels, the fourth will receive seventy taels, and the top three will receive one hundred, one hundred and fifty, and two hundred taels.

When Jiang Yuan received the two hundred taels of silver, he felt a little embarrassed.

I didn't do anything, but I watched a lot of excitement and ended up taking away the first place prize.

By the time everything was done, it was already evening.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and called all his acquaintances, including Bai Wei, Bai Jingyun, Li Hu, Chen Qing, Wang Gang, etc. Except for Ergou who was still staying in Taizong County, the rest of them gathered in the 888 private room of Taiping Restaurant.

"Mr. Jiang seems very happy today." Bai Wei said lightly.

Jiang Yuan felt embarrassed. Ever since Bai Wei came here, he seemed to have never looked for her once.

After all, they followed me all the way from the imperial capital, gave up the Bai family's luxurious life and came here. Although they don't have to suffer, it is still not comparable to what they had in the Bai family. This is a bit unreasonable.

"Well, it's okay. How are you doing lately, Miss Bai?" Jiang Yuan smiled.

Bai Wei rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuan and said in a neutral tone, "Thanks to Master Jiang, it's not so bad."

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile.

After a while, plates of beautifully presented dishes were served. With Zhao Kai and his friends scrambling for the meat, the atmosphere at the table finally became lively.

Bai Wei looked at the dishes in surprise and asked, "Master Jiang, why is it that even though the food here isn't particularly delicious, the presentation is so beautiful?"

"With all this energy, wouldn't it be better to spend more time on cooking?"

Jiang Yuan slowly picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth before speaking, "How shallow, how shallow! Miss Bai, do you know how long it has been since Taiping County was starving?"

Bai Wei thought carefully and said, "Less than a year."

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "In less than a year, even if these chefs are gifted, they won't become famous chefs, let alone compare with the restaurants in the imperial capital."

"Since the taste can't be compared, I'll have to work harder on other places. You know, a good dish is one that has both color and fragrance. This one at least has both."

"So that's how it is. It's a good way to attract customers." Bai Wei nodded slightly.

Jiang Yuan smiled sheepishly: "That's not the case. It's not that attractive to customers. It's mainly because it's expensive."

"Without these garnishes, this plate of beef would cost at most a few hundred coins, but with them, it's a full ten taels of silver!"

Bai Wei looked at Jiang Yuan speechlessly. It seems that you have never used your cleverness in the right way.

"Sir! Here comes the wine!"

The restaurant owner came in attentively carrying two jars of good wine.

Jiang Yuan took a closer look and luckily, it was not his own blended wine.

Zhao Kai picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp: "Good wine! Keep going!"

Gao Yan, who was standing by, pinched Zhao Kai's waist calmly. The latter then put down the wine jar with a wry smile and started drinking from the cup.

Bai Jingyun raised his wine glass and said, "Drinking straight isn't very interesting. How about playing some flying flower games?"

"What is this?" Wang Gang looked over curiously.

Jiang Yuan pulled Wang Gang back and said, "Stop making trouble. This has nothing to do with you."

After some confirmation, the number of participants was finally determined.

Zhao Kai, Bai Jingyun, Bai Wei, Gao Yan, and Wang Kun who volunteered to participate.

"Ahem! Since it's the Flying Flower Order, let's use flowers as words." Bai Jingyun looked into the distance.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration. It really proved the saying in his previous life that there is no cure for bootlickers.

By the time a few people started playing, Jiang Yuan had already pulled the rest of the people together to play Fried Golden Flower.

It’s not that I don’t play Feihualing because my literary talent is not interesting, but I’m afraid that if I really play it, you will say that I am bullying you.

Putting aside other things, just the ancient poems in my mind, once I take them out, I'm afraid I'll have another title of "Poet Immortal".

It was almost midnight when the group finally emerged from the private room, and most of them were already drunk.

Only Jiang Yuan and Wang Jue were still sober. Even Bai Wei was sitting in a chair with a pink face and drunken eyes.

"Wang Jue, throw Wang Gang and the others into the room, and wake up Zhao Kai and let him take his wife to rest." After Jiang Yuan gave the instructions, he first picked up Xiaoqing and found an empty room to put her on the bed.

When Jiang Yuan returned to the box, Bai Wei was already lying on the table unconscious.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and slowly picked her up. The soft touch made Jiang Yuan instantly sober up.

I didn't expect that this woman looked so tall but was actually so light. I guess she only weighs about 100 pounds.

Holding Bai Wei in his arms, Jiang Yuan walked all the way to a guest room and put her on the bed. After thinking for a while, he took a towel and a pot of hot water and walked to the bedside.

Jiang Yuan soaked the towel and placed it on Bai Wei's jade-white forehead. He took a long breath and was about to leave when Bai Wei, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stretched out a bare hand and grabbed his sleeve.

For a moment, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but tremble. He was a young and energetic man, and after drinking a little bit of wine, it was simply difficult for him to control himself.

Jiang Yuan slowly turned around and looked at Bai Wei, and was stunned for a moment.

The bright moonlight shines through the windowsill, adding a unique beauty to it.

"Hmm." Before Jiang Yuan could react, Bai Wei hummed unconsciously, and actually pulled Jiang Yuan onto the bed with her backhand, and then one of her long and beautiful legs pressed directly on him.

What the hell!

It's going to kill me!
