Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Lu Lingdu looked up and saw this man. He remembered him. He was the local county magistrate. "Oh, Lord Wang actually has time to come over for a drink."

County Magistrate Wang smiled and said, "I've been so busy that I haven't had time to eat. I heard that a new tavern has opened. I didn't expect to meet Master Lu by chance. How about we have a drink together? It's my treat."

Since it was Lu Yunfeng who paid for it, it shouldn't be a problem to treat his cousin to a drink.

Lu Lingdu looked at him deeply, then nodded.

Although I don't lack the money for this meal, it seems nice to have someone treat me.

County Magistrate Wang asked his legal advisor to sit down next to him.

Erya, who was helping in the kitchen, quickly served bowls and chopsticks to the two new guests.

Only Wen Yuan, who was standing aside, was still standing there in shock.

County Magistrate!?

My God, what kind of tavern did the new owner open that even attracted the county magistrate to come and drink?

After County Magistrate Wang sat down, he saw a plate of pig's head on the table, which was very appetizing. He picked up his chopsticks and wanted to take some.

"I've already eaten this portion. It's not convenient for you two to continue eating. Why don't you order two more portions?"

County Magistrate Wang felt that the remaining pig's head was not enough for the two of them. He was a little worried that one person could not finish one portion, so he said, "Waiter, serve us another portion of his dish."

When the pig's head meat was served, County Magistrate Wang took a bite and pointed at the legal advisor beside him: "Well, give him another portion."

The night is like water and the moon is high in the sky.

A strong man looked left and right like a thief.

The December night was bitterly cold, but the streets were still filled with all sorts of hawking sounds.

The streets are bustling with people, various small vendors are hawking their wares, and wine flags are waving.

People were buying butter cakes, cooking wontons, frying sausages, and the teahouses on the street were all full of people.

The strong man nimbly walked around the vendors and finally stopped in front of a tavern.

This tavern is different from other shops. There is not even a single person at the door.

Thinking of the charming aunt and the handsome young man he had met during the day, the strong man smiled and walked in with his head held high.

Hehehe, for tonight, he went back and brought enough money.

But as soon as he walked into the door, the strong man smelled a strange fragrance.

Oh my goodness, what smells so good?

He hurried in and was stunned when he saw the scene in the lobby.

There was only one table with people inside, and three people were sitting together eating happily.

In front of each person was a long wooden plate, filled with meat of unknown origin.

But he knew that the mouth-watering meaty aroma he had just smelled came from here!

But what puzzled the strong man even more was not this.

The three people were obviously sitting at the same table, but they were not talking to each other, nor did they clink glasses of wine. They just sat there eating and drinking very quickly.

If there wasn't only this table of drinkers in the entire lobby, he would have thought that these people were sharing a table and didn't know each other.

What's even more outrageous is that there are a few people next to them who do nothing but stare at the three diners.

At this moment, the burly man had only one thought in his mind: "Could it be that this tavern is so high-end that each person is assigned a waiter?"

Hearing the noise coming from the door, several people in the room looked away from the dining table with difficulty.

I felt a bit reluctant to leave, but it was even more inappropriate not to greet the guests.

Finally, Wen Yuan struggled out and walked over quickly: "Sir, please come in. What can I help you with?"

But when he saw the handsome and beautiful young man in front of him, the strong man came back to his senses and his eyes brightened.

The waitress in this shop is so pretty, no wonder it is only open at night. Even if it is only open for a short while, it can still attract a lot of customers.

Wen Yuan led the strange-looking guest to another table and asked with a smile, "Sir, what would you like to order?"

The burly man glanced at the table next to him unconsciously: "What are they eating?"

"This is our specialty, pig's head. Would you like to have one? It's delicious and I guarantee you'll love it..."

"Then give me a plate of pig's head as well."

The strong man interrupted directly and said that this thing looked delicious. Besides, you can't just do that kind of thing right away. You have to fill your stomach.

"Give me another pot of wine to go with it."

"Alright, you're such a good eater. These two are a perfect match." Wen Yuan smiled flatteringly while responsibly agreeing on the price: "Let me tell you the price first. The total you want is two taels and five qian of silver."

Hearing this, the strong man's tone suddenly changed: "Two...two taels of silver!?"

Like a diner who had just entered and wanted to run away, he slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Just a piece of meat and a pot of wine, and you dare to ask me for two taels of silver? Why don't you just rob me?"

The three people who were eating hard immediately looked over.

Magistrate Wang's beard was covered in sauce, and he didn't hear Wen Yuan's offer clearly. With meat in his mouth, he asked his lawyer, "What's wrong?"

The master heard it clearly, and the chopsticks he used to pick up the meat shook several times. He firmly picked up a piece of meat and put it into the bowl.

——Two taels of silver!

This is the most expensive pig head he has ever eaten in his decades of life!

Of course, the most delicious pig head meat...

But no matter how delicious it is, it can't be priced at this price. He struggled internally for a while, and finally said calmly: "I was enjoying my meal just now and didn't hear clearly. I just didn't expect that the Lord would treat me to such delicious food and wine. I would like to toast the Lord first."

A glass of wine and a bite of meat would cost two taels of silver. Since it's the adults treating us...

He definitely didn't have any other intentions. He just wanted to see the adults enjoying the meal. If he knew the price, he would probably feel very disappointed. As a qualified subordinate, of course, he couldn't do such a thing...

So... he chose to continue working hard.

The pig's head is spicy and delicious, and the wine is mellow and soft.

When County Magistrate Wang saw his lawyer stand up to toast, he didn't think much about it and immediately raised his glass to clink with him, ignoring the new strong man.

He has also seen poor people who can't afford good food and instead make things difficult for the store owner. It's not worth worrying about.

Qin Li came over from the kitchen, his face darkening. "The food and drinks in our restaurant are all clearly marked with prices. I've told you in advance that we're absolutely fair. If you think they're too expensive, you don't have to order anything."

Ning Shan also stood silently behind him, with a cold face and no words.

The burly man didn't come here for food, nor did he come here to fight. When he saw two tall waiters coming over, his voice instantly lowered.

"Then...then do you have any other snacks here?"

Since pig head meat is expensive, just eat something else.

Wen Yuan immediately put on a smile again: "We also have braised pig ears, pig tongue, and braised beef in our store. It depends on which one you like, sir."

The sturdy man frowned: "Besides the braised pork, are there no other snacks to go with the wine?"

Pork head is so expensive, so the prices of other meats must be high too. Why does this unscrupulous store only recommend the most expensive ones to customers?
