County Magistrate Zheng couldn't help but let out a sound of satisfaction.
The soft and glutinous texture and mellow meat aroma instantly spread on the tip of the tongue.
Fat but not greasy, lean but not dry.
County Magistrate Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his face full of surprise, and he couldn't help but praise.
"This elbow melts in your mouth and tastes amazing. It's truly the best delicacy on earth!"
Seeing that County Magistrate Zheng liked to eat it, Su Miaomiao immediately said.
"Master, this fish is caught from the river in front of our village. It is very delicious after being simply steamed. Please try it."
"Okay, I'll try it."
County Magistrate Zheng enjoyed the delicious food and became friendly to everyone.
He took another bite of the steamed fish. The fish meat was tender and smooth, and the aroma of the steamed fish soy sauce was perfectly blended into it.
He nodded repeatedly.
"This fish is incredibly fresh, and the cooking temperature is precisely controlled. Wonderful!"
In the following time, Su Miaomiao introduced and recommended the dishes. County Magistrate Zheng and the yamen runners tasted each dish as she introduced it, and they all praised Su Miaomiao's cooking skills.
After tasting all the dishes, County Magistrate Zheng deliberately put down his chopsticks and spoke seriously to Su Miaomiao.
"Madam Su's cooking skills are so superb that even the chefs of the big restaurants in the city can't compare to her, let alone ordinary people. I'm really lucky to have such a feast today."
Su Miaomiao said modestly, "Your Excellency is too kind. I just made some homely recipes. I am very lucky to be liked by you."
County Magistrate Zheng said with a smile, "Madam Su, don't be so modest. Your culinary skills should be known to more people."
Afterwards, County Magistrate Zheng chatted with Xiao Yunfei again, sharing the recent interesting things and developments in the village. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while, villagers who had finished their meals came over to watch County Magistrate Zheng eat.
After three rounds of drinking, County Magistrate Zheng stood up and raised his glass.
"Today's banquet is not only to celebrate the completion of Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei's new home, but also to congratulate us all for our concerted efforts in this area. I hope that from now on, this county will become more prosperous and everyone will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses in response, and the cheers echoed in the courtyard for a long time.
After finishing his meal, County Magistrate Zheng prepared to leave. Before leaving, he expressed his appreciation for Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei, and said that if possible, he hoped they would also help people in other villages, with a sincere attitude.
Su Miaomiao asked her apprentices to pack a few dishes for her in advance, and also took two bottles of wine and two bottles of drinks to give to County Magistrate Zheng.
County Magistrate Zheng said he didn't want anything, and in the end Xiao Yunfei put the things on the carriage when no one was paying attention, and finally managed to send the things out.
After seeing off County Magistrate Zheng, the villagers also left one after another. Only Yang Xiaogang, Zhao Si and others who had a good relationship with his family stayed to help clean up the mess.
Meng Xiangyu and the others also wanted to help clean up the leftovers, but were persuaded by Lu Zhenzhen and the others to go inside and rest.
Not only did Meng Xiangyu and his team not do any work, but Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei also didn't do much work. After they sent away wave after wave of guests, the work in the yard had been completed.
The pots, pans, tables and benches have been divided among each household, and whoever owns one can take it away later.
With the help of village cadres like Cui Fangzheng and Wu Feng, everything is in order and Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei don't have to worry about anything.
At this moment, Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei came back after seeing off the guests and saw Chu Xiangxiang sweeping up the last bit of garbage on the ground.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xiangxiang."
"Why is it hard? Working for your family is not hard at all. You two are popular and there are many people working for you. If you divide the work among us, there will be nothing left. In your family, we all have to rush to do the work, otherwise it will be finished by others in the blink of an eye."
"Sister-in-law, you're joking. Thanks to you for your help today. You can go home and rest later. Come over in the evening. I'll make something delicious just for us."
"No, you've been busy these past few days. You need to take a good rest after you're done. Don't cook for us anymore."
As Chu Xiangxiang was speaking, her sister Chu Yunyun also came over and spoke.
"Yes, there's no need to treat us specially to a meal, Miaomiao. We've almost finished cleaning up. If you need any help, just tell us directly. We have a lot of people, so we can get things done quickly. No matter what the task, just one person can do it."
Yang Xiaogang and the others came over after finishing their work.
Su Miaomiao looked around and said gratefully.
"You all helped me clean up so neatly, there was no other work left. Thank you all for your help today. You all worked hard."
As soon as this was said, everyone said you're welcome.
Su Miaomiao didn't see where the leftovers were, so she asked.
“Where are the leftovers?”
"It's too hot inside. I'm afraid it'll go bad if I put it outside."
"Oh, I'll go check it out."
Su Miaomiao said this and walked into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw a long row of leftovers on the floor outside the room.
Some dishes have more leftovers, some have less, but there are still some leftovers.
"It's okay. The fact that there are leftovers means everyone is full."
Su Miaomiao was very satisfied with this.
Zhang Feifei and the others immediately started talking at once.
"Of course. Brother Yunfei and his wife are very generous. Not only did they prepare a lot of dishes, but the portions were also huge. Even if everyone's stomachs were full, they still couldn't finish them."
"Yeah, who can be as generous as Brother Yunfei and his wife? No one."
"I see they are all very happy eating. Everything today is so good and perfect."
"Hahaha, yes, I also saw a table full of children. They all started to fight over the food and snatched up every dish. You all kept saying how delicious my sister-in-law's cooking was."
As long as it is perfect.
Su Miaomiao thought so in her heart, and she took the initiative and pointed at the leftovers.
"If you don't mind these leftovers, you can divide them up and take them away. You can heat them up in a pot when you get home and eat them."
Everyone was a little surprised when this was said.
Although these are leftovers, they are all good stuff, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. Even the few leftovers and cold dishes are delicious.
They knew that Su Miaomiao and her husband were generous, but they didn't expect them to be so generous.
If so many leftovers were used to cook several meals for the workers, we could save money.
Chu Xiangxiang was the first to speak up.
"Miaomiao, we definitely don't mind, but I think you should not give it to us. You cook for dozens of them every day. You should keep these leftovers for them. It would be a waste to give them to us."
Others said so too.
"Yes, keep it for your family. It would be a waste to give away so many good things. It would be better to keep it for yourself."
"That's right, these are all delicious dishes, just keep them for yourself."
Su Miaomiao understood what everyone meant, but she didn't want everyone to work for her for nothing.
She said with a smile.
"How can it be considered a waste if I give it to you? There are too many leftovers. If we can't finish them in one or two meals, they will go bad. Just consider it as helping us share some of the burden. We are all family, so don't be polite to me."
Xiao Yunfei also said, "Yes, listen to Miaomiao. We are not outsiders, so don't be polite to us."
