There was no shortage of food on the way to escape, and the lucky lady was busy farming.

Chapter 38 The appearance is very different

Song Rutang raised his head and saw a person walking into the door facing the light. He had an outstanding figure and clear eyes. With just one glance, Song Rutang knew that this was the person he was looking for, someone who could help the Yang family a lot.

Lin Chaoqing didn't realize that his identity had been exposed at this time, but he heard a few people at the city gate talking about how delicious the salt-baked skewers at Yangui Restaurant were, so he followed the road and hurried over.

The cook was about to say that it was sold out, but Song Rutang beat him to it:
"Also, sir, please sit down and wait."

She glanced at the cook. The cook knew something was going on here, so he followed Song Rutang to the kitchen without saying anything. He took some of the meat that had been reserved for everyone to eat and marinated it.

Glancing outside, the cook was puzzled and asked behind his back:
"Master, who is that person outside?"

"Officials from the capital who came to make an unannounced visit."

Song Rutang had no intention of hiding it and said it directly.

After all, if you want to expose the magistrate, her words alone have little credibility. Only with more help can you have a better chance of winning.

But her calm look startled the cook:
"How did you know this?"

"Don't worry about how I know it. When he asks you later, be smart. Whether Anping County will have a good life in the future depends on your mouth."

The cook put these words in his mouth and thought about it for a long time, and finally came back to his thoughts with a bit of shock in his eyes:

"Master, what do you mean..."

"Yes, are you afraid?"

Song Rutang looked back at him with a hint of threat in her eyes.

After a morning of chatting, she also realized that the cook had no family and was alone. It was easiest for him to rebel without being threatened by the magistrate, but if he didn't want to...
Song Rutang took a look at the 1-point amnesia potion in the mall. It could only make the other person lose their memory for [-] minute, but it was enough for her.

But the cook was very excited, shook his head and said:
"Don't be afraid. I have never done such a big thing before. I have to take it slow first so as not to reveal my secret later."

Song Rutang breathed a sigh of relief and felt lucky to have saved two hundred points.

The two of them marinated the meat skewers, and in order to make the meat skewers look more generous, they also made some more seasonal vegetable skewers to make up for it.

After all, she had to keep some meat for her own consumption. She was helping out here. Not only did Qin Yuming owe her a favor, but he also had to take care of her food. It seemed like she was taking advantage.

This person really doesn't know how to do business, and he didn't notice the loss-making business, Song Rutang thought.

As soon as the skewers were grilled, Song Rutang heard the system, which had not made any sound for a long time, suddenly beep:

[A new achievement has been achieved: Cook 500 meat skewers, 500 points have been distributed, please check carefully]

Song Rutang put the skewers on the plate, went to the mall to take a look, and saw that including the points earned in the morning, she now had 770 points.

With extra money in hand and no worries, Song Rutang gained some confidence. After thinking about it, she picked some cabbage leaves and pressed them under the skewers to make them look more appetizing. She also asked the cook to steam the contents in the steamer early in the morning. took out the steamed buns.

The cook hesitated slightly:

"Master, are you sure you want to take this steamed bun? This is the old noodles that I eat at home, and the price is very different." "It is only effective to sell it with this kind of steamed bun."

Song Rutang carried the skewers, asked the cook to bring three or four steamed buns, and went out, facing Qin Yuming's resentful eyes and serving food to Lin Chaoqing.

Qin Yuming looked into the kitchen and saw that there was still meat left. Then he felt relieved, closed the kitchen door, and sat aside to watch the show.

"The guest officer's accent doesn't sound like he's from Anping. I wonder where the guest officer comes from?"

Song Rutang pretended to ask, and then drew closer to Lin Chaoqing, making him less wary of her.

Lin Chaoqing thought for a while and made some nonsense:
"I came from the fishing village on the southern coast and walked a lot."

Yang Songlan glanced at Song Rutang and wondered why she was so enthusiastic towards people today and even started to take the initiative to talk to the guests. When Lin Chaoqing said that she came from the seaside, she sighed:
"It's not a good time for guests to come here. It's very dry in the northwest right now, so they're all rushing out."

Lin Chao cleared his hands, took a steamed bun and put it into his mouth. Before he opened his mouth, his eyes were attracted by the color of the steamed bun, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Why is this steamed bun a little black and yellow?"

Song Rutang pursed her lips and smiled, feeling like a prey taking the bait, and explained:

"What our guests don't know is that there is a drought in Anping County and several counties in the west. This is already the best noodles we can offer. I hope our guests will be more considerate."

Lin Chaoqing came here for this purpose. He saw some refugees on the road. They were all half-clothed, with black and blue complexions. They were so thin that only their skeletons were left. If he hadn't been protected by guards around him, he would have died. They were besieged by refugees and robbed of their belongings.

But after listening to reports from these counties, they talked about how successful the drought control was. Now that I saw it, I was already suspicious. When I heard these people in the restaurant talk about it, I knew that there were twists and turns.

Lin Chaoqing thought of taking the opportunity to get some information out of these people's mouths, but he didn't know that Song Rutang also wanted to let him know. This time, both sides lost a lot of resistance.

"Since there is meat to eat, it shows that the disaster has not reached the point where people are starving to death. Why are there so many refugees outside?"

The cook knew it was time for him to go on stage, and said with a sad look on his face:

"What the guests didn't know was that because of the severe drought, there was no food to feed the livestock raised at home, so they had to be slaughtered."

Lin Chaoqing held the steamed bun and hesitated to put his mouth down. After thinking about it, he asked again:
"But I heard that the imperial court has distributed relief food, and I also heard that the magistrate of Anping County has done a good job in dealing with disasters. Why do you still need to kill livestock to save food?"

But as soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Some of them were acting, and some were really shocked by Lin Chaoqing's words.

What does it mean to send disaster relief food?Is it managed well?If it had been properly governed, would the refugees have caused chaos yesterday?

In an instant, everyone's minds were spinning a thousand times, and Song Rutang deliberately said:
"How is that possible? I never heard anything..."

The chef was indeed a good teammate. At this moment, he gave Song Rutang a hand and said deliberately:
"Stop talking, do you want to be dragged by the magistrate to behead you?"

Song Rutang looked visibly panicked and changed his words to persuade:
"Guest, please don't ask questions, and don't say anything more when you go out. If the officials who make secret visits hear it and cause trouble to the magistrate, then our shop and you will have to... You'd better finish your meal quickly. Let’s go quickly, just pretend we never said anything!”

Seeing her reaction, Lin Chaoqing wanted to ask again, but he heard that his accompanying guards at the door had already chased him, along with the slightly crazy family he had rescued on the road. When he saw the little lady in front of him, he immediately exclaimed. :
"Song Rutang? Why aren't you dead yet?"
