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 he opened the food box.

"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 returned 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 didn't ask again, "Xuhua, let's talk about zongzi."

Chu Xuhua nodded, "Don't be embarrassing, just do whatever you think in your heart."

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

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

Chu Yehui thought for a moment, then 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, what do you think about increasing the quantity at that time?”

It was finally a deal, 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 are there running water seats?"

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

Chu Yehui was shocked, "Mingmin?"

Chu Xuhua and Yourong said, "The imperial decree has already come down, and the county magistrate personally announced 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, "Okay."

The three returned to Chu Family Village together.

...

At this time, the Chu Family Village was extremely lively, and all the villagers were preparing the noon water mat at Chu Qingzhi's house, laughing and laughing endlessly.

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 wrote it down 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 first one was entrusted to me by the county magistrate, and the second one is my own."

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

Then came the matter of Zhan Hongjun, "Master, come and sit here."

The villagers borrowed some of their own tables and chairs temporarily, marked them all, and returned them after eating the water mat. Now the tables and chairs have been set up, and there are twenty tables.

The flowing water mat is to put together 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, and I have saved a lot of glutinous rice. I go to the county to buy some rice, mix it according to the proportion, grind it into a fine powder with a mill, add water and knead it into glutinous rice noodles, and then I can make Yeerba.

But the essence of this Ye'erba is 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 are very easy to prepare.

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

It was very novel for Bao Linjiang to come to the workshop to watch everyone make Yeerba. After this trip, he found that he was really blind before, and he was sitting on the sky.

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

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

Ning Yuting smiled gracefully, "The village chief is too much."

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

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

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

The village head 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 long time before finishing.

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

Seeing that there were 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, which is very seductive to look at.

Chu Qingzhi invited 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 will definitely come to get the best of it."

Sang Wanlu worshiped, "Qing Zhi, it's such an honor to be appointed as a man of command by the emperor, and your family will be proud in the future."

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 for delicate girls like you 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, 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, naturally they also came to give gifts and join in the fun.

Chu Qingzhi came out from the room, "Treasurer Qian, Manager Zhou, welcome."

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

Chu Qingzhi smiled decently and said, "Thank you for the prize, I invite you two inside, 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, "good."
