Village Chief Liu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow, walking along while trying to recall if he had said anything wrong.

I checked several times and it seems I didn't say anything inappropriate. At most, my speech was a bit disjointed and rambling, but it should be fine.

There's nothing he can do. He's just an ordinary citizen with little education, so he can't say anything nice. He just needs to avoid offending anyone. That's all!

However, he was very puzzled as to why this clerk would suddenly come to Changna Village, seemingly very concerned about the lives of the people. Was it the county magistrate's idea?

Could it be that the county magistrate has finally recognized the efforts he, the village chief, has made?

You know what!

The wheelchair first appeared by the river in Changna Village, and later even officials came to investigate!

They must have come here because of its reputation, since the rice noodles originated from Changna Village. Just now, the clerk kept praising it!

In just a few steps after turning around, Village Chief Liu thought of many things, his mind racing, sparks flying everywhere.

Master Chen didn't pay much attention to Village Chief Liu; he was busy exchanging glances with the two people beside him.

When traveling, Master Chen learned from past experiences and brought along several skilled martial artists to accompany him. To his left and right were a man dressed as an attendant and an elderly but energetic man.

The three walked side by side, followed by several other people.

Village Chief Liu was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't notice anything amiss.

After bringing the person to the Mo family's house, Village Chief Liu quickly found Old Man Mo and his wife.

Upon hearing that it was the advisor, Mr. and Mrs. Mo quickly put down their work, hurriedly washed their hands, and went to greet him.

This is interesting.

When Master Chen saw Old Master Mo and his wife, he felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before!

He has a good memory. Although he is usually very busy, he can always have a general impression of the people he has met. These two old people are so familiar with each other, they must have met more than once!

Tsk! Did that chivalrous woman really invite them here just for a meal?

That doesn't seem right!

Hey! We're already here, why worry about anything else! Anyway, the heroine said there's meat to eat, so eat as much as you want!

Hmm! Let's eat first and then talk about it!

Heaven knows how poor their county government is! They're practically desperate for a meal of meat!

He's not the only one like this; everyone in the county government is! Sigh! There's nothing they can do; they're just too poor!

They came under a different pretext, not letting anyone else know they were there to eat meat, otherwise the people from the county government would probably have all followed them!

Wow! That's incredible!

They really have no choice but to keep it a secret! The county government can't afford to lose face!

Chen Liang said it was all good food and drinks, which made their stomachs growl even more, and they kept rumbling in protest!

Even Xu Taifu, who was preparing to flee again, has stopped running away, all for the sake of a meal!

As for what the heroine said, there was a small matter that they needed to explain verbally, but she didn't say it explicitly, so they'll just have to deal with it later.

Indeed, the old man who came with him was Xu Taifu. He had come down from the mountain to wander around and was unintentionally seen and recognized by Gao Yuchen, so he was invited back to the county government office.

But the county government office was so bland and tasteless that Xu Taifu couldn't stand it any longer. He decided to slip away because there was really nothing good to eat and it was unbearable!

Unfortunately, Chen Liang found Master Chen and mentioned that the Mo family was holding a housewarming banquet, which would feature many delicious foods and drinks. He emphasized that there would be meat, describing several kinds in detail, each of which made people's mouths water.

Xu Taifu happened to hear this, so he put down his bundle, turned around and ran over, insisting on going to the banquet. He was adamant that he had to go!

Gao Yuchen had no choice but to agree, but told him to dress up nicely before going!

"It's good that you can go," Xu Taifu readily agreed, and even dressed up nicely.

Upon arriving at the Mo family's residence, he looked around, seemingly examining the new house, or perhaps searching for someone. After a while, perhaps not finding anything of interest, he withdrew his gaze.

The Mo couple warmly welcomed Master Chen and his party inside, and naturally, a table was filled with delicious food and drinks.

When Master Chen and his two companions saw it, their eyes lit up. Good heavens!

The Mo family is indeed extraordinary!

Most of the food on this table is something they would never even dream of eating on a normal day!

Uh! Mainly because I don't have the money to buy it! Sigh! Never mind!

Also, it seems like they've never seen many of these things from the Mo family before; they're so beautiful! Nothing sold in shops seems this exquisite and adorable!

The three of them were very excited and, without any hesitation, actually started eating.

Mmm!! It's so delicious I'm questioning my existence!

It seems their trip was worthwhile!

The feast hasn't even started yet, and we're already eating such delicious food. I wonder if the main course will be even more delicious!

Oh dear! Please allow them a few cheers!

Seeing the three of them beaming with joy, the two elders knew they must be happy, and the tension in their hearts eased a little.

It is an unparalleled honor for the advisor to attend the Mo family's housewarming banquet!

Who is the advisor? Can you just hire him whenever you want?

Your presence will truly enhance the grandeur of my humble abode!

Grandma Mo also let the attendants behind her try it. Only after they received their master's approval did they dare to reach out and take a bite. After tasting it, they all had the same reaction: it was so delicious!

Grand Tutor Xu felt he had made the right choice and was glad he had come along, otherwise he would have missed out on the delicious food! He couldn't make up for it even if he pinched his thigh and beat his chest!

He knew this ugly girl would definitely have a surprise in store!

Go back and find that ugly girl, and ask her to give him some!

They're so generous with such a huge table of food; they must have prepared extra!

Xu Taifu was secretly pleased with himself and asked Su Nanxi to pack it up for him!

The three clerks, Chen and his companions, were naturally invited into the inner room, which isolated them from the noise and scrutinizing gazes outside.

After Mr. and Mrs. Mo entertained them for a while, Master Chen told them that they didn't need to be treated specially and could be treated as ordinary guests, and then let them go about their business.

Master Chen was self-aware; after all, they had come uninvited, and the host hadn't invited them. If they put on airs and caused delays, that wouldn't be good.

That female knight-errant was no pushover; she came right up and gave him a sound beating without saying a word!

As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Mo went out, the attendant next to Master Chen immediately sat down, picked up his food and started eating. He had been watching them for a long time!

"We told you to just reveal your identity, but you insisted on hiding behind the scenes and acting as a personal attendant. Tired, aren't you? Come on! This is delicious, eat more! We have to get our money's worth! We even gave a gift!"

The attendant—no, the county magistrate Gao Yuchen—paused, his mouth full of crumbs, and asked indistinctly, "When did you give your gift?"

Master Chen took a bite of the rose shortbread, looking satisfied, and replied absentmindedly, "Since you've come with the intention, you can't come empty-handed. I've already prepared, and I just sent Cheng Da to give you a gift."

Gao Yuchen nodded. That was thoughtful. He could eat with peace of mind.

Xu Taifu had the same thought, but he was wondering where to find the ugly girl later.

Could this ugly girl be hiding somewhere?

These dishes must have been made by Ugly Girl!

Have you heard?
