Marrying an Officer in the 60s: I Became the Clan Head After Moving to the Northeast

Qiu Yantang transmigrated, becoming the clan head of the desolate Qiujia Village on her very first day.

Everything her master had burned for her materialized. Her storage ring transformed int...

Chapter 117: County Magistrate's Wife Ma Xiaoling

Liu Qing exclaimed in praise after just taking a bite.

“These mushrooms are so delicious!”

Qiu Yantang was so scared that the mushrooms on her chopsticks fell directly into the bowl. She quickly picked them up, fearing that someone else would take them away.

But she was really overthinking it. No matter how much others liked the food, they would never take it from her bowl.

"If I bring these mushrooms back to the county magistrate's wife, she'll probably be overjoyed."

Liu Hong said as he ate, and then he ate a piece of chicken from the stewed chicken with mushrooms, which was stewed in a wood-fired pot. The chicken was then covered for a while and became especially soft and tender.

Take a bite and you can taste the aroma of mushrooms.

The potatoes inside were also soft and sticky. They were broken up with a knife instead of cut directly, so there was a lot of soup on the surface. The taste made Qiu Yantang unable to help but eat a few more bites.

"Potatoes are delicious too. The potatoes from Qiujia Village have yellow flesh inside and are very soft and delicious!" Liu Qing said. These potatoes are indeed much better than those in the county that are watery and have no potato flavor.

"I think it's okay for your village to plant more potatoes." Liu Qing said. Food is the most important thing for people. If there is enough land and the harvest is good, these farmers are willing to give it a try, no matter how tiring it is.

Qiu Yantang nodded and said, "We'll plant more this year, but we won't sell them. The production of many things is still not good enough right now. We'll wait until the production increases."

You can't become fat in one bite. Many things need to be done slowly. Qiu Yantang is willing to lead Qiujia Village to do many things, but it also takes time.

"Well, but you have to sell some to us when the time comes." Liu Qing said. They can buy it back and use it to stew cabbage or meat, and the taste is really amazing.

"Why talk about selling or not? You are all family. I will give you some when it is ripe."

Qiu Yantang wasn't very good at math, but she knew that potatoes were actually very cheap right now. However, they loved eating potatoes, so they were perfect for giving as gifts.

Give them potatoes and they buy mushrooms, nothing wrong with that.

I almost sold all the cabbage for one meal...

However, this cabbage is newly grown cabbage, and the stir-fried black fungus and mushrooms are actually more delicious than the Chinese cabbage.

As for the cabbage from before, it has long been gone. The cabbage stored in Northeast China during the winter can only be eaten until the end of the first month of the lunar year. After the first month of the lunar year, the cabbage becomes particularly unpalatable.

By the time they finished eating, it was almost three o'clock. There was no choice but to eat and chat at the same time. This was the most time-consuming thing. Qiu Yantang didn't drink this kind of wine, so she actually finished eating earlier, but she still had to accompany them.

"Chief Qiu, Village Chief Qiu, we will leave first and come back another day."

Mushroom's money had already been settled with Qiu Guangming when he was at the Mushroom House, so they left directly after dinner.

The mushrooms I brought were mostly dried and a small portion were fresh.

When they arrived at the county, Mu Tianen was just getting ready to get off work.

"You guys came back just in time."

Mu Tianen stared at the bags in their hands and said, "County Head, let's take some of these mushrooms back. They were so delicious last time..."

Mu Tianen nodded. They were now "birds of a feather".

Everyone knows that the mushrooms in Qiujia Village are delicious. Now you just have to keep your mouth shut and never let anyone else know.

"Okay, you guys take some back, and give me the rest. I'll take these mushrooms home today, and your sister-in-law will be so happy!"

Mu Tianen couldn't stop smiling. He could imagine this.

"Then County Magistrate, please go back quickly. If you don't go back, your sister-in-law will have prepared the meal."

If I go back now, maybe I can make two kinds of mushrooms. It must be said that the last time I made a meal of mushrooms, Ma Xiaoling couldn't forget it.

He said hello and rode away on his bike. There was a mushroom on the seat, tied very tightly, which was obviously because he was worried that the mushroom would fall off.

When they got home, the happy expression on Mu Tianen's face directly infected Ma Xiaoling.

"Why are you so happy? Did you find some money?"

Ma Xiaoling was a little confused. Mu Tianen was not this happy most of the time, even when he had negotiated some kind of cooperation. It was really strange.

Did the sun rise from the west?

Mu Tianen didn't beat around the bush and just took out the bag and opened it.

"Wow! So many mushrooms? These mushrooms are obviously top quality. Don't make any mistakes."

Ma Xiaoling likes to eat mushrooms, but she is still very careful when it comes to Mu Tianen's affairs. She doesn't want anything she does to affect Mu Tianen.

"Don't worry, I bought this. You still remember the Qiu family I told you about before, right? Although Mr. Qiu has passed away, his descendants have returned and are now growing mushrooms with the villagers..."

Ma Xiaoling nodded and said, "Of course I remember. You talk about it every day, so it's hard for me to forget."

Afterwards, Mu Tianen told Ma Xiaoling about the current situation in Qiujia Village. As the saying goes, many successful men have virtuous wives behind them.

"Speaking of which, you have to promote it well, or contact the textile factory and purchase mushrooms in Qiujia Village."

Hearing Ma Xiaoling say this, Mu Tianen quickly waved his hands, "Not yet..."

Before Mu Tianen could finish, Ma Xiaoling exploded, "What's wrong with that? He's your benefactor!"

"Wife, don't get excited, listen to me," Mu Tianen said, while comforting Ma Xiaoling. This is Ma Xiaoling's character. She is fine at ordinary times, but when something really happens, she will be like this, a person who will explode at the slightest provocation.

"Speak!"

Ma Xiaoling’s aura is that if you can’t say anything, you will definitely be in trouble.

"Their mushrooms are in short supply right now. Even this is from Feng Yanwang's hands. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have this. They plan to expand production this year. We'll see how it goes then. These mushrooms are so good, the county should give them strong support."

Mu Tianen had originally planned to allocate funds from the county, but when he asked Qiu Yantang and Qiu Guangdong, they said that their Qiujia Village did not lack that kind of money at all.

In order to expand production, all the houses were built by the villagers themselves, and even the bricks were provided by the villagers themselves, leaving him with no place to use his energy.

"Tian En, your benefactor's granddaughter is over 18 years old, right? She's the same age as our third and fourth sons. I want to call them back..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianen nodded and said, "Okay, but you can't force it."
