"Hmm? It really seems like a way to save someone.
That puke Old Fang just spat out was indeed expelled like this.
I remember! I once saw someone choking, and no amount of patting from others helped. Finally, a passing physician stepped in and punched him in the stomach, causing him to vomit immediately. It seems to be the same principle as what Commander Fang taught, only much safer than using a fist. kAnshu Wu.xIa
Learned it, learned it! I wonder if I'll encounter a young lady choking on the street in the future.
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Old Fang accepted the explanation of the rescue method and bowed deeply to Fang Er: I am ignorant and have wrongly accused Commander Fang. Thank you for saving my life.
Fang Er quickly helped him up. 'What are you doing? Not to mention his official position and noble title, his age alone makes it impossible for him to bow.'
'Don't, don't, Commander Fang, you'll belittle me like this.'
Hahahaha, good, let's not talk about what just happened, let's talk about these dried fish!
Old Fang cheerfully dismissed the previous incident, but kept Fang Er's kindness in his heart.
The two returned to the wooden crates. Old Fang picked up a piece of dried fish that had just chipped his front teeth and asked.
Aren't these dried fish too hard? If they are distributed to the common people, how will they eat them?
Commander Fang, this young man knows. This young man's home is by the sea in Dengzhou. At this moment, a Ministry of Revenue official behind Fang Xuanling interjected, Commander Fang, these dried fish can be used to make porridge and soup. They are excellent ingredients.
Can you cook them? Old Fang looked at him doubtfully.
This subordinate cannot, but my wife at home can cook them.
Send someone to get your wife and make a pot to try.
Yes, Commander Fang.
The official quickly beckoned a minor clerk to go to his home to fetch someone.
Half an hour later, two iron pots were brought to the entrance of the Ministry of Revenue hall. The aroma made the surrounding common people swallow their saliva.
These dried fish are not ordinary dried fish. Fang Er had already tampered with them before roasting.
He added concentrated fish flavorings to the water used to clean the fish.
This stuff was redeemed a long time ago. There are concentrated flavorings for beef, chicken, pork, spicy, three-fresh, and fish flavor.
System produced, must be high-quality, contains no artificial additives.
This time, it finally came in handy. After all, sea fish, if not handled properly, still have a strong fishy smell.
In the two pots, one was fish porridge made with dried fish, vegetable leaves, and fine rice, and the other was fish soup made from dried fish.
Fang Er smiled and pointed at the iron pots: Commander Fang, are you testing your new teeth?
No, no, no, it doesn't matter if my teeth are good or not. That's my own business. The important thing now is to taste the flavor of these dried fish.
Fang Xuanling grinned, showing his pearly whites, and denied it.
He had someone serve a small bowl of fish porridge and cautiously took a sip.
After carefully savoring it, Old Fang handed the bowl to the official beside him and then gave Fang Er a thumbs-up.
The fish meat was firm and fragrant, the vegetable leaves were crisp and refreshing, and the fine rice was soft and moderately cooked.
Wonderful! It's truly wonderful!
After speaking, he looked at the other Ministry of Revenue officials: Come, come, everyone try it!
There were many officials, so it was impossible for everyone to have a bowl. A clever minor clerk ran to the office to get the small cups they used for tea and served each person a cup.
Divide some for the common people too, let them try. From now on, they will have to rely on this to get through the drought.
Fang Xuanling pointed to the surrounding common people and instructed the minor clerk.
Yes, Commander Fang.
After everyone had tasted the fish porridge and fish soup, their eyes widened, and they couldn't believe their taste buds.
This, this, this is too extravagant!
Yes, is it too much to use such delicious food as the main grain for disaster relief?
Why don't we sell these dried fish in the East Market and exchange them for grain for disaster relief?
The officials and minor clerks smacked their lips and expressed their opinions.
Such delicious food given to these lowlifes for sustenance is a complete waste!
Swish!
All eyes in the place were fixed on the official who spoke last. The onlookers also heard this remark, and their eyes were filled with anger as they looked at him.
Fang Xuanling was about to reprimand him when Fang Er beat him to it.
Guards, slap him!
Yan Shuangying and Su Feng did not hesitate to pull the foul-mouthed official out of the crowd. He still had the audacity to say righteously, What, did I say something wrong?
Such good things, how can these lowlifes be worthy of enjoying them!
This kind of thing~~~
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap~~
As a result, before he could finish speaking, Yan Shuangying, using both hands, delivered several large slaps to his face. The force was so great that his cheeks immediately swelled round, and streaks of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to cry out. It was only after several slaps that he covered his mouth and cried out in pain.
Fang Er stepped forward and glared at him, his face full of disgust.
You call the common people lowlifes, what are you yourself!
Wearing this official uniform, do you think you are truly superior?
After speaking, he walked into the crowd on the periphery, pulled over an old man, and asked, Old sir, what is your surname?
The old man was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: I dare not, I dare not speak of being honored. My humble surname is Zhang.
Old sir, you are too modest. Zhang is not a humble surname.
Fang Er bowed to the old man and then looked at the others.
May I ask everyone's surname?
The Duke honors me. My humble surname is Bao.
My humble surname is Meng.
My humble surname is Guan.
My humble surname is Jiang.
My surname is Li.
Fang Er cupped his hands in a salute to everyone and then walked in front of the official being held by Su Feng.
Lowlifes! You call them lowlifes. Which of them doesn't have an ancestor who was a renowned figure?
Never mind, based on what you just said, I will assume you are ignorant.
The Zhang surname is descended from the loyal and virtuous Zhang Ming of the Han Dynasty!
The Bao surname is descended from the filial and honest Bao Xuan of the Han Dynasty!
The Meng surname is descended from the clan of General Meng Tian of the pre-Qin period!
The Guan surname is descended from the loyal and righteous Guan Yun Chang of Shu!
The Jiang surname is descended from the descendants of Jiang Ziya, the regent of the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years.
As for the Li surname, not to mention the current emperor, just the Flying General Li Guang is not someone you can insult!
I said something a few days ago, and I'll say it again today!
In this vast China, in this long Chinese history, which of the families on the Hundred Surnames is not filled with loyal martyrs!
How dare you, a mere sixth-rank official, speak so presumptuously! Who gave you the courage!
Well said! Well said! Fang Xuanling, who was listening nearby, was filled with excitement and clapped his hands repeatedly.
Well said, all filled with loyal martyrs! Guards! Take this nobleman to the Hundred Cavalry Guard!
As the minor clerks were about to take over, they heard another laugh from the crowd outside.
Hahahaha, no need for Commander Fang to send anyone, we'll take him ourselves!
Before the voice fell, a person was seen parting the crowd and walking in.
Here comes the Hundred Cavalry Guard, the Melon King.
With a wave of his hand, several Hundred Cavalry Guard personnel also emerged from behind the crowd and directly escorted the official away.
At this moment, the official realized how much trouble his momentary indiscretion had caused him, and he quickly pleaded for mercy.
Commander Fang~ Commander Fang, I was just trying to show off, my mouth is too foul, I have sinned, please, spare me this time.
I will definitely~~~
Slap!
Before he could finish speaking, Gua Wang stepped forward and punched him in the temple, knocking him unconscious. He then instructed his subordinates.
Take him away! Investigate him!
