Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 128
Zhou Yue nodded. She had already guessed that the county magistrate was there and the carriage was still parked at the door. Those profit-seeking businessmen would naturally do this.

"Cousin, when they leave later, you should record all their information and write it down in a separate notebook." Zhou Yue said.

"Okay! I understand." Qian Changsheng was so excited that he even trembled when he spoke. One person is worth 100 taels of silver!
Zhou Yue walked upstairs. Magistrate Shi had just put down his chopsticks and almost all the signature dishes were eaten. He didn't expect that he had eaten so much!
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, the food in your restaurant tastes good. Even someone like me, who has a bad appetite these days, has eaten a lot." Magistrate Shi said with a smile.

He hadn't had a good meal in two days recently because of the news about Beiguan. He didn't expect to eat so much here.

"It's good that Sir Shi is satisfied, but I see that your face is pale. Did you not get enough rest?" Zhou Yue asked.

This person didn't look as energetic as the previous few days, but he didn't look like he was sick. He should have something on his mind and didn't have a good rest.

County Magistrate Shi sighed, "Oh, it's not because of Beiguan, Mr. Zhou came from Ruize Mansion, did you hear the news from Changping Pass?"

Magistrate Shi remembered that Zhou Yue and the others came from Ruize Mansion and knew Magistrate Qiu, so they should know something.

Mentioning Changping Pass, Zhou Yue's eyes sank. She wasn't sure what magistrate Shi was talking about, so she asked, "Your Excellency is talking about the wolf army?"

When County Magistrate Shi heard Zhou Yue talk about the Wolf Army, he thought Zhou Yue knew about it, so he nodded, "Yes, I heard news from the court that the Wolf Army's deputy general Chen Lu led the Wolf Army to rebel against the new general Yan Zhen. He said he did not have the general's order and did not obey his command."

Zhou Yue's eyes flickered when she heard this, and sure enough, what she expected happened, probably because Yan Zhen cut off their food, which aroused the resistance of the wolf army.

"I know about this, but I don't know when it happened." Zhou Yue pretended to know and continued to spy on information.

County magistrate Shi waved his hand, "Oh, this happened more than a month ago, our place is remote, I only got the news two days ago.

I heard that the whole of Pingcheng fell into the hands of the Beiling people. Chen Lu was leading the wolf army all the way south, and he didn't know where he was now. "

Zhou Yue nodded, and echoed, "Yes, there was a severe drought in Pingcheng, and there was no harvest. The people all fled, and there is already an empty city. The drought in Beiling is even more serious, and they are bound to break in to grab food."

"Yes, the wolf army broke away from the command of Yanzhen. The emperor assigned the northwest army to fight against Beiling's army. I don't know what the situation is now." Magistrate Shi was frowning. The north was already in chaos.

Zhou Yue estimated that the wolf army was forced to go all the way south because they had no choice but to go south. She was worried that these people would have nothing to eat.

After all, the towns along the way have been looted by refugees. There are tens of thousands of them. How can they solve the problem of food and clothing? It is already winter, and there are not many wild vegetables.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shi, our place is relatively safe." Zhou Yue comforted her, but her face was solemn. She needed to know more accurate news.

Magistrate Shi nodded, "Oh, indeed, but how long this stability can last depends on the capital."

Zhou Yue also agrees, it is estimated that Pingcheng cannot be kept, and Nanshan Mansion is not stable, even if the emperor sends the Northwest Army there, there is not much food and grass to support the war.

"Don't think about that. Today's meal is delicious. Thank you Mr. Zhou for your hospitality." Magistrate Shi said.

"Master Shi is here to give Zhou some face, and the April Spring Breeze Restaurant will be full of glory." Zhou Yue said with cupped hands.

"Haha, then Shi will leave." The county magistrate Shi planned to return to the Yamen, and he had to reply to others to ask about the situation in the north.

"My lord, go slowly." Zhou Yue took Magistrate Shi downstairs, and when she reached the counter, Magistrate Shi took out a red envelope and put it on the counter.

Fang Yao looked at the red envelope in a daze, then quickly looked at Zhou Yue, "This..."

"Master Shi, what are you doing?" Zhou Yue asked.

"Celebrating the opening of Mr. Zhou's restaurant, please don't dislike Mr. Zhou." Magistrate Shi said with a smile. This Mr. Zhou is not an ordinary person. It would be better to make friends with him.

Zhou Yue took a doll from behind the counter and said, "Take this, it's called Spongebob. You can take it back and give it to your children to play with."

"SpongeBob SquarePants? Okay, I'll take it then." Magistrate Shi took the doll and didn't see what it was. It felt weird. His daughter should like it.

After sending off County Magistrate Shi, Zhou Yue looked at the guests in the restaurant. It was past meal time and there were fewer people.

"Cousin, you arranged for them to take turns eating. There are fewer people now, so you should eat first." Zhou Yue said.

"Okay, I'll tell them now and take turns to greet the guests." Qian Changsheng nodded and immediately ran to the hall.

Zhou Yue looked at Fang Yao, "Miss Fang, hurry up and eat, and come back after eating."

Fang Yao nodded and walked to the backyard. She wanted to finish her meal quickly and then come back.

Zhou Yue found an escort agency in the county town, and wrote a letter asking them to take it to the prefect Qiu of Ruize Prefecture. She wanted to know more news about the north.

In the evening, the entrance of the restaurant was full of horse-drawn carriages, and the people who came this time were some big local households.

During the day, I heard that a new restaurant had opened here, and the county magistrate was here. Naturally, they came to support it. Maybe the owner here has some relationship with the county magistrate.

When several young men running errands saw that another guest had arrived, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. They all bent down and said, "Welcome!"

"Yo, it's quite interesting!" A staff member with a big belly said.

"Who are your guests? Do you want a private room or in the lobby?" Dongzi asked.

"Of course we want a private room. Take us to the best one." One person said.

These people are all local merchants and know each other. When they met here, they naturally wanted to sit down and drink together.

Dongzi quickly took them to the box upstairs and served tea quickly.

A table of people quickly waited for the dishes to be served, and they were full of praise after eating, "Little Er!" one person shouted.

"Hey, here we come!" Dongzi hurriedly opened the door and entered the box. "What orders does the guest officer have?"

"Give me some good wine. This dish must be paired with wine!" the man said.

"Okay, I'm going to get the wine now!" Dongzi responded, and hurried downstairs to get the wine.

Carrying a jar of wine upstairs, "Guest officer, your wine is here!"

Dongzi put down his drink and left the box, and just a few steps away, he heard shouts from the box.

"Little Second!"

"Oh, here we come!" Dongzi returned.

"What do you need, sir?"

The employee slapped the wine on the table, "Didn't I ask you to serve good wine? Is this good wine?"
