Chapter 110 Visiting the Village Chief



"Okay then, I'll go find someone in the next two days," Xie's mother said hurriedly.

"Well," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "First, find this many people. When the business increases and there is not enough manpower, we can add more people."

Mother Xie smiled and nodded. After a moment's silence, she thought again, "Ah Xiao, Xiang Yi, the village chief has helped us a lot with the workshop. If we are looking for workers, should we ask the village chief's family if anyone wants to come?"

Lin Xiangyi could feel the enthusiasm of the villagers when she strolled around the village for a while. Since Xie's father and mother went out every day, they naturally received a lot of flattery from people, both overt and covert.

Even the village chief's wife came over to try to get close to them, intentionally or unintentionally, but because of her status, she didn't say it directly.

"Of course," Lin Xiangyi nodded. Without the support of the old village chief, they would not be able to set up the workshop so quickly.

“How about Qingxiao and I go to their house and ask tomorrow? If they are willing to come, then let’s come,” Lin Xiangyi looked at Xie Qingxiao, and Xie Qingxiao had no objection.

"Okay," Xie's mother grinned and said, "Then you go ask the village chief tomorrow, and I'll go see our relatives. As for the Xie family, let your father take care of it. Is that okay, as the head of the family?"

"Sure," Xie's father said with a smile.

This matter was decided.

The next night, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi went to the village chief's house and took some braised food that they had specially left in the afternoon.

There is less entertainment now, and there are basically no activities after dinner when it gets dark.

Just like last time, when Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi came over, the village chief and his family sat outside the door to enjoy the cool air. The difference was that this time the old village chief was also there, and he was particularly happy to see Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi coming over.

After chatting for a while, he asked Xie Qingxiao to help him into the house, and called Village Chief He, saying that he had something to talk about.

"Probably talking about your workshop," said the village chief's wife with a smile.

"It should be," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, and handed all the braised food he brought to the village chief's wife.

"You're here, but why are you carrying so many things? Last time you brought so many things, your grandfather He scolded us and forbad us to accept your things in the future. We are from the same village, why are you being so polite? Just tell me if you need any help," the village chief's wife said angrily.

"Aunt He, this is not bought, this is the braised food we sell ourselves. I thought you haven't tried it yet, so I brought some for you to try," said Lin Xiangyi.

"Oh? Is this the braised food you sell? Then we must try it," said the village chief's wife in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the other members of the He family also came forward curiously.

Lin Xiangyi brought the package wrapped in oil paper. Even before opening it, one could faintly smell its mouth-watering fragrance. After opening it, the fragrance was even more overbearing and went straight into one's nose.

"It smells so good, milk? Eat it!"

The three or four-year-old grandson of the village chief's wife was playing with his older brothers and sisters not far away. He happened to run over and immediately came over to touch the village chief's wife when he smelled the fragrance.

The village head's wife was a little embarrassed: "This is spicy, you can't eat it!"

"Eat, eat!" The little grandson was very anxious.

"There are non-spicy ones, in the pack below," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.

The village chief's wife opened the bottom package and shared it among the children, while the adults ate the spicy ones.

“So delicious, so tasty!”

"How can duck intestines be cooked so deliciously?"

"How is this done?"

"It's rude of you to ask this question. I'm doing business here, how can I tell you the secret recipe?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about it for a moment. Xiangyi, please don't be angry with me! I was just asking casually."

"Milk, I want more!"

Everyone praised the food highly, with pleasant surprises on their faces. In a short while, they finished eating nearly two kilograms of braised food that Lin Xiangyi brought. Some people still felt unsatisfied.

The village head's wife looked at Lin Xiangyi and felt embarrassed: "It was so delicious that I finished it accidentally."

"I brought it here for you to eat," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "It's good as long as it tastes good. It proves that our stewed food is good, and we can make money by selling it!"

"Hahaha, it's no wonder you can make money with this taste!" The village chief's wife's younger daughter-in-law immediately laughed.

"It's not that bad actually." An abrupt voice sounded in a low voice. It was He Dasao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family. She pouted her lips and looked a little indifferent.

Before Lin Xiangyi could say anything, the village head's wife immediately got angry: "Not only is it okay? Just now I saw you eating more happily than a pig, and after you finished eating you actually said it was okay? If you have the guts, you shouldn't have eaten just now!"

Mrs. He just muttered without paying attention to the volume, but she didn't expect everyone to hear it. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so disrespectful to her and ridicule her in front of Lin Xiangyi.

She couldn't hold back her expression and said stubbornly, "I didn't say it wasn't delicious. I just said it wasn't as exaggerated as you said."

The village chief's wife wanted to beat her to death. This tactless thing was really here to disgust people on purpose.

"Xiangyi, don't mind it. I think it's really delicious," the village chief's wife was afraid that Lin Xiangyi would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained to her.

"Yes," He Ersao also laughed and said, "I think it tastes good too. When I was eating it, I really wanted to swallow my tongue."

Lin Xiangyi had heard that Mrs. He seemed to have some kind of relationship with the Lu family. Being influenced by the Lu family, it was understandable that she disliked her.

Seeing this, he didn't care and smiled: "It's okay, everyone has different tastes, some people think it tastes good and some people don't, this is normal."

How could Sister He say this in front of Lin Xiangyi? How could it be that her tastes were different? Everyone could see that she was clearly looking for trouble on purpose.

Lin Xiangyi was not fussy about it. The village head's wife felt nothing but gratitude in her heart. She said hurriedly, "Yes, it's true that not everyone has the same taste. After all, wild boars can't eat fine bran. Some people are even worse than wild boars!"

Mrs. He's face instantly turned the color of liver.

Lin Xiangyi pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud. After calming down, she got down to business: "By the way, Aunt He, we came here today because we have something to tell you."

"Is there anything you need from your Uncle He? Just tell me directly. I'll tell your Uncle He when he comes out!" said the village chief's wife with a smile.

Mrs. He curled her lips when she heard this. She knew that every time Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi came to her house with something in their hands, they must have something to ask for.

Only her parents-in-law are blind and don't realize that they are only interested in profit, and yet they still try to curry favor with them!

"No, no," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "It's not because of this."

"What's that about?" The village head's wife was puzzled. Apart from this, she couldn't think of why Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi brought things to her house.

"Isn't our workshop ready to be completed? We need to recruit people. I thought of asking Aunt He if you are free to come over and help out?" Lin Xiangyi said.

The village chief’s wife???

Who else in the He family???
