Chapter 160: They Were All Potatoes

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

Lu Sheng’s restaurant was finally open. Firecrackers crackled in the snow, attracting a crowd.

The names of the recipes were novel and attractive. Everyone could not help but fork out money to try the new dishes. In the end, they were convinced by how delicious they were.

As the shopkeeper, Lu Sheng stood in front of the counter and greeted the guests warmly.

Today was also the fifth day that the new official was appointed.

The county magistrate spent two months trying to find the murderer, but didn’t manage to do so. In order to save his life, he resigned.

In the capital, Jiang Shaofu died suddenly in his room half a month ago.

He died in the same way as Young Master Jiang.

The coroner had examined the body but found nothing. The cause of death became a mystery.

In the end, the Crown Prince had no choice but to beg the State Minister.

The State Minister did not decline. However, after seeing the corpse, he only said one sentence, “No one has killed him. It’s just that his life span has ended.”

Since the State Minister had said so, no matter how indignant the Crown Prince was, he could only get the Jiang family to bring the corpse back to Lin Jiang Mansion.

Three people from the Jiang family died in a row. Their mainstay was no longer around and their status in Lin Jiang Mansion plummeted.

At the same time, Chu Sihan took this opportunity to report what the Jiang family had done in Lin Jiang Mansion.

When the Emperor heard of this, he was furious and decreed that the Jiang family should be raided. Overnight, the Jiang family either escaped or were exiled, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Not only were Lu Zhou and Chu Sihan satisfied with the fate of the Jiang family, but even the citizens of Lin Jiang Mansion were especially satisfied.

The new county magistrate’s surname was Fu and his name was Xianyun. He was very young, only twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was handsome and had elegant manners. When he spoke, there was a friendly smile on his face.

It was a pity that Magistrate Fu already had a wife at home, and she was beautiful. This made the ladies in Huang Yang Town feel regretful.

When the new county magistrate came out for his meal, he did not go to the largest Tian Xiang Restaurant. Instead, he brought his family to Lu Sheng’s restaurant.

It was unknown who spread the news, but everyone was discussing spiritedly and exclaiming how down-to-earth this new county magistrate was.

One had to know that the previous county magistrate used to go to big restaurants like Tian Xiang Restaurant. He would not enter small shops like the Lu Family’s Restaurant.

Lu Sheng felt that the new county magistrate and his wife were very strange. Not only did they look at her with an inexplicable kindness, but they also kept smiling at her.

She did not remember seeing them!

“May I know why Lord Fu and Mdm Fu called me here?”

Holding the notebook and pen, Lu Sheng suppressed her doubts and asked the duo with a smile.

“Miss, can you make me another portion of your dish called Sweet and Sour Pork? My child likes it,” said Yu Linglong gently as she looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng glanced at the elegant-looking child who was only three or four years old. She smiled and nodded.

After Lu Sheng brought the sweet and sour pork over, Fu Xianyun pointed at the shredded potato and asked, “Miss, what’s this?”

“This is called shredded potato,” Lu Sheng replied good-naturedly.

Fu Xianyun was doubtful. “This is also what was used in the braised potato and chicken dish?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes.”

Yu Linglong was also very puzzled when she heard that. “Since they’re all potatoes, why are the potato pieces here powdery while the shredded potato here is crispy?”

Lu Sheng smiled and explained, “The shredded potato here was soaked, so it’s crispy.”

The couple was enlightened. “I see. No wonder it tastes different!”
