Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 176 Now I can walk sideways
Your master? Huo Fang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and glanced at Song Jinshu inconspicuously.
It seems that the magistrate of Jingyang County has caught the eye of this person. Since he has caught the eye of this person, I think it is also the emperor's intention.
Although this person was a woman, she had a sharp eye. No matter whether it was cotton or sweet potatoes, every one of them could cause a sensation in the court.
It stands to reason that even if a person is insignificant, with so many treasures on him, he would never be as unknown as he is now.
So he guessed that the emperor did it on purpose. Thinking of the current situation in the court, he sighed helplessly.
It is time to have a thorough clean-up and eradicate the bad practices of officials.
It’s no wonder that the emperor and Lu Ruoyu protect such a talent like Song Jinshu so much.
Even his people didn't hear a word.
"Don't bother Mr. Lu. Mr. Song and I have already discussed it. If Mr. Song wants to find me in the future, please ask Mr. Lu to pass the message on his behalf."
The military camp is an important place, and a small official like Song Jinshu cannot even enter the camp gate.
Lu Ruoyu has a special identity and an unclear relationship with the emperor, so he is the most suitable person to deliver the message.
"That's great! I was just thinking about how to contact Brother Huo. Since County Magistrate Lu and Brother Huo know each other, it would be convenient for me to pass on the message."
After she made the cotton-padded clothes, she could only transport them secretly to Jingbian Pass without alerting anyone. Obviously, she did not have enough manpower or the ability to do so.
So wait until the clothes are made, and then let Huo Fang’s people come to pick them up.
Lu Ruoyu nodded silently. He knew the reason why Huo Fang didn't want to say it.
On the other side, Liu Jingmo perfectly became the background wall. He could understand every word spoken by the people present. But when put together, it always felt confusing?
"Brother Huo, why don't we go have lunch first? I've had people prepare a lot of delicious dishes, and I'll take you for a walk after we finish eating."
Huo Fang was thinking about sweet potatoes and potatoes, so he didn't refuse. The group followed Liu Jingmo to his restaurant.
There was almost no one in the building. I guess Liu Jingmo had cleared the place out early.
Song Jinshu winked at him. This kid is really reliable!
Liu Jingmo paused. What did his elder sister mean?
As soon as they sat down, food from the kitchen came in like water.
The four of them were in a private room on the second floor, and the hall was left for the people brought by Huo Fang and several yamen runners who followed Song Jinshu.
Song Jinshu narrowed his eyes and smiled at Huo Fang, pointing at the food on the table and introducing: "Brother Huo, this is steamed sweet potato, this is roasted sweet potato, this is stir-fried shredded potatoes with meat... and this is stewed pork ribs with potatoes..."
There was another table full of potato feast, plus a few hard dishes, which made Huo Fang frown.
Now even in a poor county like Jingyang, are people living such a good life?
Then why did the emperor always like to cry poor to him and often owe him military pay? Was he trying to deceive him?
Huo Fang felt mixed emotions and was extremely uncomfortable. He had an army of over one hundred thousand soldiers at the border, and they could only eat their fill before and after the battle.
But...this small Jingyang County actually has so many different kinds of food!
"Brother Huo, would you like to try it?"
Smelling the aroma of the food, she couldn't wait any longer, but Huo Fang didn't do anything, so she could only watch.
Huo Fang: Please wipe your saliva, it’s quite unhygienic!
Seeing this, he didn't think about anything else. He picked up the potato chips in front of him with chopsticks and chewed them slowly and carefully.
He didn't feel anything special after the first bite, so Huo Fang tried other dishes. The more he tried, the brighter the light in his eyes became.
As Song Jinshu said, potatoes are delicious no matter how they are cooked.
And you won’t feel sick of it, and you’ll even become more addicted the more you eat it.
Thinking of this, Huo Fang finally picked up the steamed sweet potato with trepidation.
Hmm? It's soft to the touch, and you can smell a hint of sweet fragrance if you get close.
He directly broke the sweet potato in half, and the sweet fragrance became more intense. Huo Fang took a bite and felt a warm feeling in his mouth. After the smell spread, his eyes lit up frighteningly!
So sweet!
Huo Fang ate half of the sweet potato without caring about his image, and gradually felt a strong sense of fullness after it went down his stomach.
At this moment, he completely believed what Song Jinshu said and could not hide his admiration and satisfaction for her.
When he defeats the enemy again and returns to the capital, he must ask for a reward from her in front of the emperor.
Song Jinshu and Huo Fang are both straightforward people. They speak their minds and don't care about the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping.
"I thought you said...that my hometown is suitable for growing sweet potatoes. Is that true?"
Even though Song Jinshu had promised him before, he was still worried and asked again.
Song Jinshu raised his head from his dry meal and looked the man across from him sincerely in the eyes: "I will never lie to Brother Huo. Your hometown has a flat and open terrain. Although there is little water, the land is very suitable for growing sweet potatoes."
Lu Ruoyu seemed to recall something and continued, "Your Excellency bought the sweet potatoes from Hu Shang. I heard that Hu Shang's hometown also has a low water content and flat terrain."
When the current emperor first ascended the throne, the Hu people were ready to make a move. Huo Fang led his men to fight against them and also saw the terrain there.
I believe 70% that sweet potatoes can be grown in Jingbian Pass, and the remaining 30% will only be known after experiments.
Huo Fang has made up his mind to buy some sweet potatoes and try growing them.
If possible, in order to ensure that all the people have enough food to eat, he must capture several of the enemy's cities and expand our territory.
Then he planted his own food on other people's land, captured a group of enemies, and supervised them to tend the fields day and night.
Huo Fang looked at the potatoes again. Song Jinshu's heart tightened, and he started to explain the fact that there were not many potatoes and that Jingbian Pass might not be able to grow potatoes well.
Huo Fang looked very regretful when he heard this. What a pity, this potato was very much to his liking when cooking, but there was not much of it.
With his status, he could take it away by force, but Lu Ruoyu was staring at him covetously.
If he failed to grow potatoes well and ran out of seeds, he would not be able to explain to the emperor.
In the end, Huo Fang had no choice but to give up. This trip not only solved his cotton-padded clothes problem, but also gave him an unexpected sweet potato.
All of this was brought to him by Song Jinshu. Huo Fang was not an ungrateful person, so he took out a token and placed it on the table.
Then he looked at Song Jinshu and said, "Besides owing you a favor, I, Old Huo, have already made friends with you. If anyone bullies you, feel free to come to me."
This time he was not forced by the benefits given by Song Jinshu, but said it sincerely.
Part of the reason was that Song Jinshu caught his eye and had a good personality, so he was willing to recognize this girl.
Song Jinshu couldn't stop smiling. This thigh was really thick. Would she be able to walk sideways in the future?
Even when he arrived at Shun'an Prefecture, he saw that the County Magistrate Liang was slumped in a chair, with his legs crossed high, acting like he was the only one in the world?
Just thinking about it made her blood boil and she felt like she was seeing the sallow face of County Magistrate Liang.
