Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 155 155. Guests coming

  Chu Yehui took a zongzi and ate it. The zongzi was not as hot as it was at first, but there was still a unique fragrance as soon as the food box was opened.

   "Hmm! Chu Yi, these rice dumplings are delicious, who made them?"

  Chu Xuhua raised his chest slightly, and said with a bit of pride, "My fifth sister taught us how to do it."

  Chu Yehui paused, a little confused, "Fifth sister?" He hasn't been back to the village for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the village.

  Chu Xuhua explained, "My parents went to bring back Fifth Sister from the county."

  Chu Yehui was even more puzzled, "Didn't your sister go to enjoy the blessings? What are you doing here?"

  Chu Xuhua didn't want to talk about Chu Qingzhi being abandoned by her adoptive parents, so she said vaguely, "It's a long story, but she has been home for a while."

   Seeing that Chu Xuhua didn't want to say more, Chu Yehui stopped asking, "Xuhua, let's talk about the zongzi."

  Chu Xuhua nodded, "Don't be embarrassed, just do what you think."

  Chu Yehui took another bite of the zongzi, it was fragrant and glutinous, really delicious, "How much is a zongzi?"

  Chu Xuhua said the price a little nervously, "Twenty-five cash."

Chu Yehui thought for a moment, and said in a negotiating tone, "Xuhua, I think zongzi are delicious, but they are fresh after all, and I have to see if everyone accepts them, so I plan to buy a hundred for trial sale first. It's easy to sell, and when the time comes, increase the quantity, what do you think?"

   Finally a deal was made, Chu Xuhua would not accept it, "No problem, when do you want zongzi?"

  Chu Yehui ate all the remaining zongzi repeatedly, but he didn't eat enough, "Tomorrow morning, today is too late."

   "Okay, I'll go back and prepare the goods later." Chu Xuhua remembered, "By the way, my house is eating the flowing water table today, do you want to go?"

  Chu Yehui blinked, "Why do you have a running banquet?"

  Chu Xuhua straightened his back, "My Fifth Sister has been named a servant by the emperor."

  Chu Yehui was shocked, "Mingmin?"

  Chu Xuhua and You Rongyan said, "The imperial decree has already come down, and the county magistrate personally came to proclaim the decree. Do you want to go?"

  Chu Yehui agreed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, such a big event happened in the village, how can I not go back, it's already noon, you wait for me, I will arrange to go back with you."

  Chu Xuhua nodded, "OK."

  The three returned to Chu Family Village together.

  …

  At this time, the Chu Family Village was very lively. All the villagers were preparing the noon banquet at Chu Qingzhi's house, and the laughter was endless.

   Ning Yuting sat behind the table with a pen in his hand. There was a stack of blank paper on the table. When someone came to give a gift, he would record it on the paper.

   Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang assisted.

  At this time, the master came over and took out a fifty tael silver note and a twenty tael silver ingot. "The former was entrusted to me by the county magistrate, and the latter is my own."

  Ning Yuting wrote down the names and identities of the two with a full pen, and then put the gift money in the box next to it.

   Then it was Zhan Hongjun's business, "Master, come and sit here."

  The villagers temporarily borrowed some tables and chairs from their own homes, marked them, and returned them after eating the running water seats. Now the tables and chairs have been set up, and there are twenty tables.

  Flowing water mat is to gather a table and set the meal, and then change another table after eating, so there is no need to set up so many tables, just prepare more food.

  Master nodded and followed Zhan Hongjun.

  Chu Qingzhi added a delicacy called Yeerba.

  I want to make zongzi at home, so I saved a lot of glutinous rice. I went to the county to buy some more rice, mixed it according to the proportion, ground it into a fine powder with a mill, added water and kneaded it into glutinous rice noodles, and then I can make Yeerba.

  But the essence of this Yeerba lies in the stuffing. Under Chu Qingzhi's guidance, the aunts in the village prepared two kinds of stuffing, one with pork sprouts and the other with peanuts and sesame seeds.

   Sprouts are available in every household, and they are very easy to prepare.

   During the process of making the two kinds of fillings, everyone was so fragrant that their mouths drool, and the gluttons in their stomachs screamed.

  Bao Linjiang took time to come to the workshop to see everyone wrapping Yeerba.

   After watching for a while, he went back to help again.

  The village head walked up to Ning Yuting, put down a basket of eggs and a big rooster on the table, "Yuting, your handwriting is so beautiful."

  Ning Yuting smiled elegantly, "The village head is too much."

  The village head asked with concern, "Has your injury healed yet?"

  Ning Yuting nodded with a smile, "It's ready, thank you village chief for your concern."

  Healing of the injury means that he has to leave. He has lived here for nearly two months, so he is reluctant!

  The village chief looked at the people behind him who were waiting to write the ceremony, and said, "You are busy first, and we will talk later."

   Ning Yuting responded, "Okay."

  This time it was Xu Wanrong and Sang Wanlu. The two of them came with a lot of gifts, including cloth, tea, and silver. Ning Yuting recorded it for a while before finishing.

   Such a person is naturally a distinguished guest, Zhan Hongjun immediately went to call Chu Qingzhi out.

  Seeing the two of them, Chu Qingzhi immediately smiled, "Wanrong, Wanlu."

  Xu Wanrong is confident, beautiful, and generous, and Sang Wanlu is full of the glory of being a mother, and she looks very seductive.

  Chu Qingzhi beckoned the two of them to sit in her room. There were too many people outside, and she was afraid that something might happen to Sang Wanlu, "I didn't expect you two to come too."

  Xu Wanrong said excitedly, "For such a big event, we are sure to come to get the best of it."

  Sang Wanlu worshiped, "Qingzhi, it's such an honor to be appointed as a man of command by the emperor. From now on, your family will be proud."

  Chu Qingzhi said modestly, "Do my best."

  Xu Wanrong looked at Chu Qingzhi with admiration, "Qingzhi, you are so brave, you actually went to provide disaster relief. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to."

  Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "It's better not to go to such a dangerous place." If they didn't have martial arts and soldiers, they would have been boiled and eaten by those refugees.

  Xu Wanrong restrained her smile, "I hope this kind of thing won't happen again."

   "Let's stop talking about these dangerous things and talk about something happy."

"Um."

  Chu Qingzhi chatted with the two for a while, and was told that a distinguished guest had arrived.

  The distinguished guests who came this time are shopkeeper Qian of Hongyan Restaurant and shopkeeper Zhou of Fuyuan Restaurant.

  Chu Qingzhi became such a big event as Mingmin, and everyone in the land and waters would benefit. The news spread quickly, and it had already spread throughout the county. As a business partner, it was natural to come to give gifts and join in the fun.

  Chu Qingzhi came out of the room, "Treasurer Qian, shopkeeper Zhou, welcome."

   Shopkeeper Qian said politely, "Miss Chu, you are the first one in decades, let me be ashamed!"

  Chu Qingzhi smiled tactfully, "Thank you, thank you. The two of you are welcome, and the master is also in the room. You just happen to have a chat together."

  When the two heard it, their eyes lit up, this is good, "OK."
