But the moment they stepped out of the county government office, Qin Tieniu said softly: "You can disobey my orders, but you must not take the lives of the people seriously."

This was Qin Tieniu's last and biggest request for them.

Several people paused for a moment, then decided to leave.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and Qin Tieniu was guarding the huge county government office alone, but he did not feel bored at all. After the watchman finished the Haishi watch, he went out to patrol the streets.

The town was surprisingly quiet. Unknowingly, he arrived outside the hot pot restaurant. After checking that the time was almost there, he went back directly.

Qin Lu, who was sleeping, heard the noise and stood up instantly, "Who?"

"I."

"Tieniu, aren't you patrolling the streets tonight?" Qin Lu rubbed her eyes and looked at Qin Tieniu.

Qin Tieniu tucked her in and said, "Go to sleep, the time has come."

"good."

Qin Lu knew that Qin Tieniu was back, so she slept more soundly until dawn.

Qin Tieniu went to the county government office in the early morning, and she got up too. Thinking that her bag was empty, she researched new dishes, and then planned to develop new hot pot products.

No one stopped her this time. Yunyun and others knew that she had sacrificed a lot of money this time, so there would be people who would stop her from making money.

She actually obtained the opinions of regular customers and discussed with Yunyun and others to finally come up with the Jiugongge.

Of course, she has been asking everyone about their tastes. In fact, no matter what era it was, everyone has different tastes. Whether you want spicy food, not spicy food, or slightly spicy food, the spicy level will always be different.

Everyone's tastes are also different.

This nine-square grid can not only change according to the taste of diners, but can even classify the dishes so that they can be tasted better.

As soon as the new product came out, Qin Lu promoted it in the store, first with a discount, and then with a free trial.

Naturally, no one will refuse free things, especially novel gadgets like Jiugongge. Old and regular customers have come one after another to express their support for Qin Lu's new product.

In the barbecue area, she researched various flavors of marinated meats. The more flavors there were, the more diners would eat them.

"Shopkeeper Qin, what does your barbecue taste like?"

"This is fruit-marinated beef. This kind of meat can cover up some of the fishy smell of the meat, and at the same time keep the deliciousness of the meat..." Qin Lu explained to the diners one by one, and also told them how to eat it and how to cook it.

A long time is most suitable.

"Beef is not suitable for cooking for too long..." She demonstrated to everyone, and then let the diners have a taste, "In such a short time?"

"It's okay, trust me."

Qin Lu's eyes were serious and she could not tolerate the diners' suspicion.

They looked at Qin Lu and then at the meat that had been placed on the plate. They dipped it in dipping sauce and slowly put it in their mouths. Then they exclaimed, "Shopkeeper Qin, is this barbecue really cooked? It's delicious."

"That's fresh beef. It's ready after these hours. If you add more meat, it will get old..."

"We're going to have a taste."

After Qin Lu demonstrated, all the diners who came to eat barbecue followed her example and started shabu-shabu. Of course, different meats are cooked at different times. She also divided them into several types according to the quality of the meat, whether it was barbecue or shabu-shabu.

As long as the diners want to eat, she can satisfy them.

Even more effort has been put into the dim sum aspect.

For three days in a row, she launched new products, and all the food items were sold out. She even ordered more than before.

With the expansion of business operations, her heart finally relaxed a little.

The hot pot restaurant was packed every day, and Qin Lu's face was always smiling. On the other hand, Qin Tieniu was frowning every day. Of course, he was just pretending.

Qin Lu also suspected at first that Qin Tieniu was really disturbed by the government officials. She rushed to the county government office worriedly, "I haven't returned to the shop for several days. What happened?"

"The bandits are getting more and more rampant, and the government officials can't do anything. Can I not worry?" Qin Tieniu sighed helplessly in front of Qin Lu, but when he looked at her, he blinked calmly.

In an instant, Qin Lu understood that Qin Tieniu was pretending. She opened her mouth and finally rolled up her sleeves in cooperation, "What is going on with these government officials? You are the prefect. They all eat the food of the county government but don't do anything."

Whether they want to work or not, just let them go back to their hometown..."

Qin Lu spoke very loudly when she said this, for fear that the government servants outside the door wouldn't hear her.

Sure enough, when the old government officials heard Qin Lu and Qin Tieniu's suggestions, they were all very worried. However, because of the governor's face, they could only worry.

"What should we do? If the prefect really listens to Miss Qin's words, what about us?"

"Don't worry, he is just a prefect, how can he defeat the governor? We are all the governor's people, so we don't dare to do it for him."

The conversation between several people fell into the ears of Qin Lu. She glanced at Qin Tieniu and said, "Tieniu, come on, my shop's business is much better now, and my new products are very popular..."

"Daughter-in-law, no matter what, don't be too tired. Making money is more important than your health." Qin Tieniu was not worried about himself, but worried about Qin Lu.

"Oh, don't worry about me. I know it well. If something happens to me, you won't be heartbroken." Qin Lu gave Qin Tieniu a joking look, put down the meal she had prepared, and then left the county office.

Qin Tieniu reported the bandit suppression to the governor several times, but he did not directly refute it. He just said, "If you want to suppress the bandits, I will naturally support you, but I can't do anything."

"Sir, can you send more people..."

"Tieniu, it's not like you can't see that these people are all given to you. What will happen to the other officials?" The governor smiled contemptuously and turned his back to Qin Tieniu. "You are the prefect of the county government, so you can think about it yourself."

The solution has been found."

"Yes, sir."

Qin Tieniu naturally knew that the governor would not send anyone. He just wanted to give himself a backup plan. If he did not agree, he would suppress the bandits himself in the future. No matter what happened, he could pin the blame on himself. Now he said

After that, the governor can't even think about getting out.

Of course, he also knew that if the payment was successful, the governor would come to force him again, but he didn't care, he just wanted the people to live a better life.

It was getting dark after leaving the governor's mansion. He looked to the west and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, "It's time to go see them."

After speaking to Fang Luo, Qin Tieniu disappeared into the crowd.

Not long after, he appeared on the outskirts of the city, with the shadow following behind him, "Have you decided to show up?"

Shadow told him since he contacted him that he was still alive and the matter could not be revealed for the time being. They had endured it very hard. Now that Pei Zhi had arrived in town, it was time to meet him.

"Yes, Pei Zhi is here. If I don't see him again, he will do something stupid."

He knew that Pei Zhi, the most loyal military commander by his side, had protected him all those years ago.

"Yes, sir, I will make arrangements right now."

"No, I will go with you."

"yes."

After hearing Qin Tieniu's words, Shadow's heartbeat accelerated a lot and his steps became brisk.

The group of people soon arrived at a dense forest. Qin Tieniu walked in front, followed by Shadow. He raised his eyes and glanced at the small wooden house not far away, and couldn't help but open his mouth, "It's been so many years, Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi, what are you doing?"

Hasn’t changed at all?”

The male protagonist also contacted his old intelligence department. The former loyal subordinates were very excited to learn that the male protagonist was still alive. At the same time, what happened back then also made them angry.
