And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 65
The next day.

Chen Yuan woke up early.

I was about to go to the shop of the young couple at the entrance of the alley to eat a bowl of haggis soup.

When I opened the courtyard door, I realized that there was someone waiting at the door ahead of time.

This is a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous blue Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown, with a restrained and steady appearance and a short beard.

The other party also seemed to be a scholar, very similar to the Lujiang City God's usual dressing style, but his figure was not as tall as the Lujiang City God, nor did he have the unique power of the Lujiang City God.

The clothes on the middle-aged man's shoulders are very dark. It seems that he has been here for a long time, so that some parts of his body are soaked by the morning dew.

In addition, the other party also carried two square boxed gifts wrapped in red paper into the length of chopsticks, but they didn't know what was inside.

"Who are you?"

Chen Yuan was a little puzzled, he didn't know this person.

"I'm the magistrate of Pingliang County. His surname is Gongsun, and his name is Yue. I'm here to pay homage to the Taoist priest."

Seeing Chen Yuan coming out of the yard, he immediately came up and said.

Seeing Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly, Gongsun Ning quickly put aside the relationship and said:
"Don't get me wrong, Daoist. I'm not here for the magistrate, but on behalf of myself."

Hearing what Gongsun Yue said, Chen Yuan put out the idea of ​​driving this person away.

After thinking about it, he didn't say any more, and went straight to the haggis soup shop at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't drive him away, Gongsun Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly followed.

In his view, not refusing is an opportunity.

When I came to the haggis shop at the entrance of the alley, I was busy beside the pots and stoves in the shop. The wife of the young couple saw Chen Yuan coming, and asked with a smile:

"Chen Daochang is here, as usual, how about a bowl of haggis soup?"

Because Chen Yuan came here often, they also knew Chen Yuan's name, and many guests even inquired about Chen Yuan's background.

It is said that Chen Yuan is not a foreigner, but a native of Pingliang County, who also lives in the west of the city. Before that, he lived with his brother and sister-in-law in Lihua Lane not far away.

He was originally a scholar, but when he went to Linxian to borrow for school, he encountered an accident and disappeared for three years. At first, his brother and sister-in-law had given up, thinking that he had died in an accident and died in another country.

Who knew that Chen Yuan not only came back some time ago, but also had a Taoist bun on his head and a Taoist robe on his body. He became a Taoist, as if he had worshiped a Taoist master as his teacher.

I just separated from my brother and sister-in-law recently, and I moved into that very famous and "evil" house in the local area, which is said to have demons.

But after staying for such a long time, nothing unexpected happened.

It also shows that the young Taoist in front of him probably has real skills.

"Have a bowl of haggis soup."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Then found an empty seat and sat down.

"Bring me a bowl too, and bring it to the Taoist priest's table."

At this time, Gongsun Yue, who walked in behind Chen Yuan, spoke at the right time.

After speaking, he took out his wallet and prepared to pay.

"We eat first and pay later."

Seeing Gongsun Yue's gorgeous clothes, the wife of the young couple was at a loss.

"The same goes for paying first."

Gongsun Yue insisted.

"OK then."

The wife of the young couple accepted the money from Gongsun Yue under the signal of her husband next to her.

After paying for himself and Chen Yuan, Gongsun Yue went to sit opposite Chen Yuan and sat down, and put the gift in his hand on the edge of the square table.

"Master Gongsun, there is something unclear about Pindao. How can you be regarded as a county parent official? You need to treat me as an unknown Taoist. Do you have to deal with me like this?"

After Gongsun Yue sat down, Chen Yuan said to Gongsun Yue.

Now that he knew that Gongsun Yue was not here for the prefect of Luzhou, Chen Yuan had no intention of keeping a distance from him.

"What is the Taoist talking about? The Taoist is not an unknown Taoist. Besides, you are an expert who even wants to make friends with the magistrate. In a small county magistrate in the lower district, you dare not trust the Taoist."

Gongsun Yue kept his posture very low.

While Gongsun Yue was talking with Chen Yuan, the husband of the young couple brought two bowls of haggis soup to the table.

During the whole process, he kept looking at Gongsun Yue.

For some reason, he always felt that the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes in front of him looked very familiar.

After serving the haggis soup to Gongsun Yue and Chen Yuan, he went to the table and continued to cut the haggis with the kitchen knife in his hand, recalling the image in his mind that matched this middle-aged man.

After getting the haggis soup, Gongsun Yue didn't feel disgusted at all. After greeting Chen Yuan, he ate it with big mouthfuls.

This made Chen Yuan a little surprised. Although beef and mutton are the top-quality meat that officials of the gentry and wealthy families often eat.

But these gentry officials and rich families don't eat things like viscera and intestines.

Only ordinary people will eat it.

The intestines and intestines of cattle and sheep are also the only beef and mutton that ordinary poor people can afford.

Looking at Gongsun Yue's attire, Chen Yuan originally thought that the other party didn't like haggis soup.

"Master Daoist, although I was born in a noble family, I was well-clothed and well-clothed before I became an official, but because my mother was the son of a maidservant, I suffered a lot when I was a child. Something I used to eat when I was a kid."

Gongsun Yue said to Chen Yuan while eating.

Chen Yuan could feel the sincerity of Gongsun Yue's words, and he couldn't help feeling a little good for Gongsun Yue in his heart.

"If you want to talk about this haggis, because the smell is relatively strong, it will test the ability of the cook, and you need to cover up the smell with seasoning."

"The haggis soup in this restaurant ranks among the top among all the haggis soup that I have eaten, but I can't taste it at all."

"It's really unexpected that a nameless shop in an alleyway can have such delicious food."

Gongsun Yue commented while eating.

Chen Yuan just ate the haggis soup in front of him slowly and didn't speak.

As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals.

A food shop is not about the signboard, it is a first-class restaurant that can make real delicious food.

The young couple who are busy next to them can make haggis soup without any peculiar smell, which is definitely a superb cooking skill.

"Thank you for your praise."

The young couple were always paying attention to Chen Yuan and Gongsun Yue. When they heard Gongsun Yue's praise, they were happy, and the husband immediately thanked them.

"You don't just want to make friends with the poor Taoist, do you? He sent the yamen to the door several times, and now he goes to the yard where the poor man lives and waits to go out. The poor man doesn't think that you just want to make friends with me."

Chen Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County, who was sitting opposite him.

The other party was a county magistrate anyway, a majestic seventh-rank official of the imperial court, if he hadn't been forced by the matter and asked him for anything, he would never have been so eager.

"The Taoist priest really has a clever plan."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Chen Yuan, Gongsun Yue said with a helpless wry smile.

"The reason why I came to visit the Taoist priest is that I really need to trouble the Taoist priest..."

Gongsun Yue said.

"I don't need to talk about the specific things. It's not too late to talk about it after I go back. This is not the place to talk about things."

Chen Yuan interrupted Gongsun Yue, and glanced at the more and more customers in the shop.

Then Chen Yuan looked at the other party again and said:
"Pindao eats a bowl of haggis from you, and I will accept your favor. If you can help, Pindao will not refuse. If you can't help, please go back where you come."

Seeing Chen Yuan let go, Gongsun Yue said happily:

"Thank you, Daoist. The Daoist will definitely be able to solve what I'm asking for."

When Chen Yuan and Gongsun Yue finished eating the haggis soup and walked out of the shop.

"I remembered, this person seems to be the county magistrate..."

Seeing the backs of Chen Yuan and Gongsun Yue leaving, the husband's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked up to his wife and said to her.

"How is it possible, how could the county magistrate come to a small shop like ours?"

The wife doesn't believe it.

But among the diners in the shop, some people recognized Gongsun Yue's identity.

"Congratulations to the shopkeeper, your shop has actually received the magistrate's visit in person, it seems that you are going to be famous."

"That's right, I met the magistrate once before the lawsuit, otherwise I wouldn't recognize him at all."

"I'm a small official in the yamen, and I've met the magistrate many times, and the one just now is definitely the magistrate."

After hearing the words of the guests around, the wife believed her husband's words.

It turned out that the county magistrate just now actually visited their shop.

　ps: It's a new week, please ask for a recommendation ticket, everyone.
