This Old Man Is Really Bad
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been silent all this while saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little tense, so he chuckled and said,"My father is a little impatient and there are some inappropriate things in his words. Please forgive him.”
Although he said that, his actions were very casual.
He let go of the collar of the bailiff and walked to the side of the charcoal fire.
Seeing the chicken wings and meat skewers roasted on the charcoal fire, he continued,"These meat skewers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. At first glance, they are very appetizing. Coincidentally, my father and I haven't eaten today. I wonder if we have the honor to taste the county magistrate's cooking?!”
Ye Jin's tone softened when he saw that he was being polite.
He shrugged and said,"It's just a few skewers. It's not something precious. You guys can just eat it."”
These two people were obviously not ordinary people. If he could not offend them, he would try his best not to.
Eh!
Although he had already offended this old man to death.
The middle-aged man didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a chicken wing to eat.
Then, he gave Ye Jin a thumbs up and smiled.""The taste is indeed extraordinary, making one's cheeks fragrant. Father, you should come and try it too. Haven't you lost your appetite recently? It just so happens that you're lucky today. You can eat some delicious food to appease your appetite.”
However, the old man snorted coldly and said with a proud expression,"Hmph, didn't the county lord just say that the salary given by the court is too low? It's only enough to feed him and the maidservant. If you and I eat his food and starve him to death, what will we do?!”
Ye Jin couldn't be bothered with him. He rolled his eyes and said unhappily,"Do you want to eat it or not…"
"If you say so, this old man will eat it.”The old man was like a child who was angry. He sat on the chair next to the charcoal fire, grabbed a skewer of meat, and began to bite it, as if he was venting his anger.
Ye Jin waved his hand and dismissed the bailiffs.
Then, he grabbed a bunch of meat skewers from the basin and placed them on the charcoal fire. He began to roast them skillfully.
The middle-aged man saw that Ye Jin was skilled and could not help but ask,"The ancients said: A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. The county lord is the respected person of the county. Why do you have to cook yourself?! Moreover, the backyard of the county office was quiet. Could it be that only the county master and the maid lived here?! No extra servants to serve him?!”
Ye Jin answered while grilling the meat skewers,""You're so much older than me, so don't call me 'county lord',' county lord'. I'm Ye Jin, also known as Meiyu. If you don't mind, you can call me Meiyu.”
"Ye Jin, Meiyu? Jinyu, it's a beautiful jade! Good name, good words. It seems that the person who gave you the words had high expectations for you.”The middle-aged man shook his head.
Ye Jin was slightly stunned.
An old man's figure appeared in his mind.
The old man had a strange temper and liked to shake his head and pull the bag of books.
However, he was really good to her.
Who knew where he was now.
She did not know if she would ever have the chance to see him again in this lifetime.!
"Hmph, this is a word given to you by a woman, right? A man gave you the word 'Meiyu'. No wonder the woman is chattering. I really can't tell what's good about it.”The old man beside him mocked.
Ye Jin was speechless.
You can't even shut your mouth with food?!
Old nationalistic youth.
Old man, you're a troublemaker.
How am I a sissy!？
This old man was really bad.
"Vulgar people naturally do not understand the charm of language. For example, the sunset and wild birds. Sunset clouds and lone ducks fly together, autumn water is the same color as the sky. However, a vulgar martial artist would only say,"F * ck, it's so beautiful…"
The old man almost exploded in anger again.
Ye Jin's words were almost pointing at his nose sarcastically." You old man, you're very vulgar and uncultured.
The middle-aged man could not help but laugh when he saw this scene.
There were not many people in this world who could make his old father so aggrieved.
Moreover, most of them were sent to the western Buddha to repent.
He did not expect to meet such a hothead today.
Not only could she anger her bad-tempered old father, but she could also make him unable to flare up.
However, when he saw that the two of them were about to fight again, he quickly interrupted,"Then I'll be bold enough to call the county lord 'Brother Meiyu'. I'm Guo Biao, and this is my father. My father and I are from Yingtian. Recently, we came to Shangyuan County to visit our relatives and friends. I didn't expect to be treated well by the old parents (county magistrate) of Shangyuan County.”
Ye Jin waved his hand." What's there to be lucky or unfortunate about? Those who come are all guests."”
"Brother Meiyu, you're a rank 7 county magistrate, don't you have any extra servants to serve you?!”Guo Biao asked the same question again.
The backyard of the county office was cold and empty. There should only be the master and servant.
Although the old man was eating a meat skewer, his ears perked up.
In this era, a Rank-7 county official wasn't a petty official. He held the power of life and death for more than 100,000 people in a county.
Although he wasn't a person of high status and power, he wasn't someone that ordinary people could look up to.
The magistrate who exterminated a clan, the county magistrate who destroyed a clan.
This was not an exaggeration at all.
However, such a powerful person only had a personal maid to serve him?!
Could it be that this kid was also an honest official?!
"I only have that little salary every year. It's already not bad if I can support my master and servant. How can I have the spare money to support others? Moreover, my master and servant have hands and feet, so I don't need anyone to serve me.”Ye Jin handed a skewer of roasted meat to the maidservant behind him.
The maidservant also took it and placed it by her mouth to bite.
Their movements were very natural, without any pretentiousness.
It was obvious that this was how they usually got along.
This scene shocked Guo Biao.
A master, and a county lord at that, actually gave a servant girl kebabs?!
The maidservant really started eating so openly.
This made Guo Biaobiao's worldview a little difficult to accept. He asked again,"Then is it really because the imperial court only gives you a salary of 90 dans that you are released from the yamen every day?!”
Ye Jin shrugged and said,"What else?"”
"The Imperial Court can only give me this much salary, so I'll just do what I'm supposed to do.!”
The old man had already finished a skewer of meat. When he heard Ye Jin's fallacy, he could not help but retort,"If that's the case, then why did you let the county government's bailiffs patrol the streets at night? Their salary is even lower. According to your theory, shouldn't they return home earlier to rest?!”
"My young master gives them overtime pay. Their salary is much higher than my young master's.”The servant girl behind him could not help but retort.
This time, Guo Biao and the old man were dumbfounded again.
What?
The salary of a lowly bailiff was actually higher than that of a seventh-grade county magistrate?!
Are you kidding me?
Yes.
It must be!
