Chapter 81 Warm Hospitality
Ever since Shangguanyin changed places to check on the lotus root, Bai Xuening was ignored from the beginning to the end.

Seeing that Shangguan Yin was really annoyed, Bai Xuening stopped bothering him and went to the villagers to discuss about buying the lotus root festival.

Enthusiastic villagers responded, "Girl, do you want to buy these lotus root festivals?"

"Hmm!" Bai Xuening checked that these lotus roots hadn't been planted for a long time, and it was just right for her to transplant them into the pond.

Some curious villagers also asked, "What do girls buy these lotus root festivals for?"

"My family has a [-]-acre pond, and it's just right to plant these lotus root festivals!"

The villagers in Mushi Village immediately expressed admiration, "It seems that the girl is an expert. We have been planting lotus roots for a while, and we don't know that lotus roots can be transplanted during the festival!"

Bai Xuening took a peek at Shangguanyin, and whispered, "Experts don't dare to say, but they are better than him, but don't make it public, you know, men have to respect themselves, especially when they are officials!"

"Understood, understood!" The villagers nodded repeatedly.

Even though Bai Xuening had lowered his voice, Shangguan Yin, who was a master of martial arts, still heard it. He couldn't help but smirked in his heart and said, "Better than him, it's so funny. That woman looks like a rich lady, can she understand better than him?"

Originally, Bai Xuening wanted to buy more lotus root festivals, but the entire village of Mushi Village was popularized by Shangguanyin to plant lotus roots. She estimated that the lotus roots would not be able to sell at a high price in Qingshan Town, so she only bought lotus root festivals on five acres of land. , paid the deposit, and negotiated a good day to come and dig.

Bai Xuening didn't plan to plant all the lotus roots in the [-]-acre pond dug at home. The plan really couldn't keep up with the rapid changes. If she knew she wouldn't have dug so many ponds, she didn't know what the lotus roots in the five-acre land were. Enjoy the lotus in the future!

After discussing with the villagers, Shangguan Yin has also finished his inspection. Originally, Shangguan Yin planned to leave directly, but the villagers insisted on inviting Shangguan Yin to dinner, and Bai Xuening was also honored.

The house they ate at was considered a decent one in Mushi Village, but it was just a few earthen houses. Half of the families in the village lived in thatched houses. One can imagine how poor this village is.

There are a few stick noodle steamed buns on the table, the steamed buns are still steaming, it can be seen that they have just been steamed, and there are some wild vegetable stick noodle steamed buns on the top of the stick noodle bun cover, which shows that they are usually reluctant to eat this stick noodle, honored guest Come, just such a luxury.

There are six dishes, one scrambled egg, one chicken, one plate of pickled vegetables, one plate of bacon, and two green vegetables. Bai Xuening reckons this is the best meal they can produce in the whole village. The chicken should be freshly killed Yes, there is still chicken blood in the yard.

Even though this was their best meal, Bai Xuening didn't eat a few mouthfuls. It was short of oil and salt. She had a mouthful recently, so she really couldn't eat such a simple meal.

There was no oil in the eggs, the chicken was boiled in clear water, and there were a few other items that were not only seasoned but also salted, but Shangguan Yin ate it with gusto.

Bai Xuening secretly said in her heart, "It seems that this county magistrate has no money, and even such ugly food is so delicious!"

But this also proves that he has a clean sleeve and is a good official who pleads for the people!She swore secretly, "I will definitely cook delicious food for him from all over the world in the future, and reward his stomach well!"

Before leaving, the villagers gave them a lot of local products. Although Shangguan Yin and Bai Xuening refused repeatedly, they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the villagers. They even sent the things directly to their carriages.

Bai Xuening also shouted, "This is the simplicity and kindness that the villagers should have!"
