Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Huh? Where's His Excellency Liu Feng?" The Lord of Beifeng glanced behind Niu Er, but saw no one else.

"I'm sorry, our Lord City Master is accompanying an important guest, so he can't come today. He asked his subordinates to tell everyone that the Lord City Master will invite you to watch the game tomorrow." Niu Erwei nodded politely.

"This..." City Lord Beifeng and the other city owners were stunned for a moment. They hadn't expected it, and they actually declined.

You know, they have five city lords here, and they don't come to the banquet, how important are they guests? Or give Mawei? Want to show off your majesty as a lord?

"Then, I won't disturb everyone's meal." A smile flashed in Niu Er's eyes, and before they could speak, he turned and left.

"..."

In the private room, the atmosphere became depressed all of a sudden. The Beifeng City Lord and others didn't look very good-looking. They came to Xiyang City in person, which already gave Liu Feng a lot of face, and they haven't seen them yet.

Tori, who was sitting in the corner, was full of embarrassment. Don't these people have any clues? The city lord of the capital came by himself, and he made it clear that he had something to do, so he wanted him to come over politely?

"Let's eat first!" the Lord of Beifeng said in a deep voice.

"Okay, let's eat. Tomorrow, I will ask the City Lord of Xiyang, is this how a nobleman treats guests?" said a City Lord angrily, and almost slapped the table.

Tori knew the city lord who spoke. He was a powerful nobleman named Josen. His territory was three days away from Beifeng City and five days away from Xiyang City.

Joseon's territory is a plain, and the main source of income is horses. It is said that there are thousands of horses raised every year, which bring him hundreds of gold coins in income every year.

This is also one of his confidences. His economic strength is no worse than that of the owner of Beifeng City. It's just that this winter, he was a little annoyed because he didn't sell many horses.

Before that, a mysterious businessman ordered 200 war horses from Josen, but when winter came, the other party did not come to buy them.

The reason why Josen came to Xiyang City was to sell war horses. I heard that the Lord of Xiyang City is quite rich, so he wouldn't mind buying some war horses in winter, right?

"Josen, don't be angry, there's no need, maybe they really have guests to receive." Another city lord spoke, but his tone was a bit cold.

"Hmph!" Josen snorted coldly, and simply closed his eyes.

"Everyone, let's order!"

The owner of Beifeng City held the menu, and his eyes flashed with surprise. It doesn't matter if there are private rooms, and this way of ordering food is quite new.

The waiter standing on the side quickly stepped forward, took out a small book, and asked, "Dear guest, would you like to order?"

"Yes!" Beifeng City Lord nodded, flipped through the menu to look at the dishes, and saw that some dishes were actually priced in silver coins, so he turned the menu to the front.

"This, and this..." City Master Beifeng ordered four dishes on the same page, then closed the menu and said, "I ordered four dishes, and you can order the rest."

"Give it to me!" Josen took the menu, also seeing the prices of the dishes at the back, his pupils shrank, he turned back to the front without any trace, and ordered four dishes with average prices in a row.

"Okay, that's all." Josen handed the menu to the person next to him.

The waiter followed with a strange expression, and then wrote down the dishes ordered by the three city lords. Each ordered four dishes, a total of twenty dishes.

"Okay, all distinguished guests, please wait a moment, the dishes will be served soon." The waiter saluted and opened the door to go out.

"Kagji!"

The door was closed, the waiter looked at the names of the dishes on the menu, his face was full of weirdness, and he muttered, "The best soup with cabbage, green snake crossing the quiet water, six-color water balls, wild pheasant bamboo shoot soup..."

He looked back at the door of the box, muttering, "These people are really strange, do they like soup so much? They actually order twelve soups."

The waiter didn't bother to remind them, just when they said bad things about the city lord, it made him very dissatisfied. A person who is so busy, the city lord, is someone you can meet whenever you want?

Didn't you see that the city lord is working hard all day for everyone to live a good life? He is even worried about those fart and fights, and even made a boxing match for everyone to vent.

In the eyes of the common people in Xiyang City, Liu Feng is a diligent nobleman who gets up before dawn every day to deal with government affairs, and even has little time to go out of the castle to play.

In fact, ever since An Li helped to handle government affairs, Liu Feng often slept until nine o'clock in the morning when the weather was bad. The time spent on government affairs, that is, three or four hours a day, was mostly spent as a hands-off shopkeeper.

go out to play? In this day and age, it's really not as good as teasing the beast ear girl in the study, or playing poker.

Chapter 0269 Don't do something stupid.

There are twelve chefs cooking in the kitchen on the second floor of Zuixiao Building. After they received this wonderful menu, they all suppressed their smiles while cooking, and soon twenty dishes were prepared.

For time-consuming dishes or soups, the main ingredients or soup bases will be cooked in advance in the back kitchen, and will be reheated immediately after ordering, and then some easy-cooking ingredients will be added.

Twenty dishes, the waiter quickly brought them into the box, which made Beifeng City Lord, Josen and others stupefied, staring blankly at the twelve soups on the table, and a few stir-fried dishes, only a few portion of meat.

"Soup?" Beifeng City Lord stood up in a daze, pointed to the soup on the table, and asked the waiter next to him, "This...why is it all soup?"

"Yes, all the dishes are served according to the requirements of the guests."

The service nodded affirmatively, and introduced the dishes in a colorful manner, "Look at the Liucai water balls, which are made of three kinds of meat, chicken, pork, and mutton, mixed with secret seasonings, and then boiled in secret soup When it’s finished, it tastes full of chewiness.”

"There is also this Green Snake Crossing Youshui. The soup base is a clear soup made from pork ribs and seasonings. We only have coriander when it's hot. This dish is a new one."

"..."

Everyone stared blankly at the plate of green snakes crossing the secluded water. There were two green vegetables in a plate of pork rib soup. Is this the green snake? What about snake meat?

"Okay, needless to say, you go down." Beifengcheng rolled his eyes and waved his hands. He didn't want to listen to these introductions anymore. After all, it was all soup.

"Pfft..." Tori covered his mouth, and suppressed the urge to laugh, which made the faces of Beifeng City Lord, Josen and others darken.

"Father, these soups are pretty good. Look, there are vegetables in winter." Tori exclaimed, he didn't expect that Zuixiaolou would sell vegetables in winter.

It was also because Tori reminded that when everyone turned their attention to the dishes on the table, most of them really contained green vegetables.

"How is this possible? There are green vegetables in winter?"

Johnson stood up abruptly, and directly picked up the green vegetables in the soup with his hands. His teeth were grinning from the heat, but he still stuffed them into his mouth.

"hiss……"

"This... is it really a vegetable?" Josen's eyes widened, and he reached out to pick up another vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth. The more he chewed, the more he couldn't believe it.

"How can there be vegetables in winter?"

The people present didn't believe it, and started to pick up vegetables from the plate, even if they were scalded, they also stuffed them into their mouths.

"It's really green vegetables, how is this possible? How can there be green vegetables in winter?"

The Lord of Beifeng City was stunned, and the soup dripped from the corner of his mouth from time to time, his world view was impacted, which was totally against the law of the four seasons.

"Hiss...it's delicious." Although Tori was also surprised, he was used to it, and nothing was impossible in Xiyang City.

He skillfully used the chopsticks to hold the green vegetables on the plate, and quickly ate them. Occasionally, he despised other people's behavior of grabbing vegetables with their hands.

Others also reacted and joined in the action of grabbing vegetables. They have eaten meat for a long time, and if they don't eat some vegetables, they may not be able to poop.

"Hiss... delicious, is the food here my illusion? How can it be so delicious?"
