Chapter 115: The Rumored Angelica and Patterned Fish

"You really don't have a mentor?" Xi Shan asked again.

Although he didn't know what Xi Shan meant by asking this question over and over again, Li Mingxia still patiently and honestly answered it again.

“No, I really taught myself.”

Xi Shan's expression became even more loving. "Go ahead and take a good rest. You've been exhausted these past few days."

Li Mingxia and Yi Shuishui blinked and left.

After returning, County Magistrate Zhu felt as if he had seen his own daughter whom he had not seen for many years when he saw Li Mingxia. He was so close to her that he said he would celebrate with her no matter what.

"You really made me proud this time! Do you know? The people in our county, including the people in your village, are blessed!" When County Magistrate Zhu said this after drinking, his eyes were red and he looked very emotional.

Li Mingxia didn't understand what County Magistrate Zhu meant. It was just a first place winner in a cooking competition. How did it have anything to do with the common people?

But at this time, County Magistrate Zhu was already drunk and his speech was not very clear, so Li Mingxia looked at He Changan.

“The prefect once said that every five years, the person who wins a cooking competition can have 30% tax reduction or exemption for the area she represents, and the tax will be made up by the government office in the prefecture. In other words, if you beat Xingyue, our county and all the villages under its jurisdiction can pay 30% less tax this year. Do you know how much money this is for ordinary people?” He Changan was also happy. He drank three glasses of wine and looked at the confused Li Mingxia in front of him. He couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand to brush away the hair blocking her eyes, but Li Mingxia subconsciously dodged.

"Lord Zhu is a little drunk. You should take him back to rest. The three children are also sleepy. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Li Mingxia stood up and said to He Changan with a smile.

Lights, candles, delicious food.

He Changan nodded, helped County Magistrate Zhu, who was already speaking incoherently but still expressing his excitement, and left. Li Mingxia also took the three children back to her room.

"Sister, can we go home tomorrow?" Li Zhengde was still energetic and was talking to Li Mingxia while lying on the bed.

The three of them have lived in Qianniu Village since they were young. This is the first time they have been away from home and Zhang's for such a long time. I guess they are homesick.

Li Mingxia thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow. I won first place and got a lot of money. I want to buy some gifts for you three good kids, your parents, and your eldest brother."

Li Zhengde nodded obediently, "Okay, then we'll go home the day after tomorrow."

Li Mingxia was afraid that Li Zhengde would feel uncomfortable, so she sat by the bed. She first tucked in the quilt for the two little girls who had already fallen asleep, and then touched Li Zhengde's little head, "Are you missing home?"

Li Zhengde hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He had never been away from home for so long before, and he felt like crying. But when he thought about how his two younger sisters didn't act like a spoiled child with their eldest sister, and how embarrassing it would be for him as a boy, he thought.

"Sister, I'm fine. I also want to pick out gifts with you. I'm going back the day after tomorrow anyway, so one day doesn't matter!" Li Zhengde said immediately.

Li Mingxia smiled, "I know, Zhengde is a good boy. Go to sleep. You may have to go to many stores tomorrow. You know what big brother likes. You have to choose his gift."

Li Zhengde felt happier, nodded, and went to bed obediently.

The next morning, Li Mingxia had finished breakfast and He Changan came knocking on the door a moment later.

"Has the item been delivered?" Li Mingxia quickly opened the door.

She was very concerned about those ingredients and couldn't wait to see what they were.

"Yes." He Changan nodded, "Mr. Xi is here too."

Xi Shan is here?

This surprised Li Mingxia a little. Was there something wrong with the result of the game?

Thinking of what He Changan had talked about with him yesterday about taxes, Li Mingxia felt a little worried. Otherwise, what could be worthy of Xi Shan coming here in person?

"Let's go." Li Mingxia said immediately.

When the door was opened, Xi Shan was drinking tea with County Magistrate Zhu. The hungover County Magistrate Zhu was now completely sober and seemed a little uncomfortable being alone with Xi Shan. When he saw Li Mingxia pushing the door in, he was obviously relieved.

"Are you here?" After Xi Shan didn't see Li Mingxia, his eyes became much softer.

"Mr. Xi, why are you here in person?" Li Mingxia hurried forward to greet him. She was thinking about the tax issue and didn't want to beat around the bush, so she asked directly, "What about the competition?"

Xi Shan was stunned and subconsciously said, "The game? The game is over, what else is there?"

Li Mingxia was relieved after hearing this, but he still didn't understand. It was just a prize, so why did Xi Shan come in person? Was it for Yi Shuishui's sake?

"This is the silver note, these are the two ingredients, and this is the jar of wine." Xi Shan pointed at the things on the table and said to Li Mingxia.

She remembered that there was a patterned fish, so shouldn't it be placed in the water? Why didn't she see a basin or a bucket?

"Open it and take a look."

There was nothing wrong with the silver note, so Li Mingxia put it in her arms. Then, she opened the food box in front of her with a somewhat strange feeling. The moment she opened the lid, a cold breath rushed out.

The food box was filled with ice cubes, and in the middle were two pieces of orange-red fish with slight white stripes.

"Salmon?" Li Mingxia paused. No wonder it was called patterned fish. It was quite appropriate.

"What do you call this fish? Have you seen it before?" Xi Shan asked immediately.

Li Mingxia shook his head, "I haven't seen it."

Since it was a salmon, Li Mingxia understood why it was not kept in a bucket, because it would be impossible to keep it alive. However, looking at the two pieces of meat, one could tell that they were cut from the fattest and most juicy parts. It was still considered a conscientious reward, but for Li Mingxia, this reward was a bit redundant.

In her previous life, she loved eating salmon, and there was no idea how much of it was piled up in her space. Although these two pieces were of good quality, they were not rare.

Li Mingxia opened another brocade box, and when he saw the precious angel fruit, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Isn't this a cherry tomato? Or a nymph fruit? If you don't know, you might think it's some rare fruit.

Li Mingxia, who had originally been longing for these two ingredients, now felt extremely disappointed. It now seemed that the best gain of this trip was the silver bills in his arms.

"If possible, can you give me half of this angel fruit? The price is negotiable." Xi Shan asked tentatively while looking at the angel fruit in the brocade box.
