Looking to the side, I saw the young master's cool gaze.
If you have any objections, come sit at the table yourself?
But Ah Yuan and Cai Ju also went on?
Looking across at the other side, the Third Young Master's eyes looked a bit fierce...
Xiao Kai coughed lightly and sat down next to A Yuan.
Ruan Qian and Ruan Meng entered the kitchen at the same time. Ruan Meng asked her sister-in-law to come out and then cooked the remaining half of the squid herself.
The third brother originally wanted to help, but Ruan Meng chased him away, knowing that her third brother was already starving.
After removing the eyes, tubes, etc., Ruan Meng cut the squid into two shapes.
One type consists of squid tentacles, head, and squid rings; the other type consists of squid flowers.
Stir-fry squid tentacles, heads, and squid rings with bird's eye chili.
The squid flowers were stir-fried with only oyster sauce, soy sauce, and salt. Because Sun Chengen doesn't eat scallions, she didn't even add any. (Image of stir-fried squid rings from the internet: Squid cooks quickly, so Ruan Meng used two woks to stir-fry them simultaneously, serving four plates in total.)
From cleaning to serving, it takes less than the time it takes to drink two cups of tea.
When the fragrant stir-fried squid was served, everyone was drawn in by the aroma.
Ruan Meng deliberately placed the squid flowers without chili peppers on Sun Mu'en's side, and placed the squid rings in front of A Yuan and Xiao Kai.
A plate was placed in front of Magistrate Deng, Feng Da, and the village chief.
The mackerel dumplings were delicious, the shredded squid was light, and the grilled small fish skewers were not seasoned with extra salt, so they were mainly salty and savory. With the stir-fried squid, the flavor suddenly became much richer!
Magistrate Deng ate with refined manners, Feng Si and the village chief were somewhat restrained, and Sun Mu'en and his sister had the best table manners. Sun Mu'en even ate several squid rings. Judging from the expressions of Sun Cheng'en and Caiju, they must have a much better appetite than before when they were at the mansion.
Sun Mu'en ate two mackerel dumplings, each about half the size of her palm.
The people at the table raved about the squid rings and squid flowers.
"I never imagined that an ugly-looking squid could be transformed into this on the dinner table. It tastes much better than sliced squid!"
"Indeed! This is the first time I've ever seen squid prepared and eaten this way. It's visually appealing, and the taste is simply amazing!"
"Delicious! Miss Meng is amazing!"
......
Magistrate Deng raised his glass, and everyone drank heartily, discovering that the Shanlan wine was sweet and not overpowering. The third brother poured some for Ruan Meng.
Overjoyed, Ruan Meng encouraged her sister-in-law to try it as well.
The eldest sister-in-law has a forthright personality, and the eldest brother didn't stop her. She readily drank half a cup.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely. The second and third brothers helped their eldest sister-in-law tidy up, and A Yuan and Xiao Kai also volunteered to help.
Ruan Qian let Ruan Meng discuss her ideas from noon with the village chief.
The village chief could not contain his excitement, just like Magistrate Deng, Feng Da, and Feng Si at noon.
"Oh! This is great news!"
The village chief sighed.
Ruan Meng then said, "Once we start cooperating, Uncle Feng, please call back all the able-bodied people from the village who are working outside!"
“The whole family can go to the beach. In addition to selling seafood to He Family Restaurant, they can also supply the seafood needed by the village collective workshops.”
“The village collective develops planting and breeding. Men can work, and women can help in the village collective workshop to make seasonings and pickles, which can earn them extra money.”
"With the land contracting, the money distributed to the village should be quite considerable."
Ruan Meng truthfully relayed the questions raised by Sun Chengen and her own suggestions to the village chief.
The village chief affirmed, "That's for sure. Young Master Sun has gone to such lengths to invest a large sum of money to help with planting and breeding in our Fengjia Village. We can't let Young Master Sun suffer any losses!"
"As long as the younger sister, the eldest son, and the young master Sun have reached an agreement, we have no objections! Even if we have to give up a little profit and the village earns a little less, as long as we can make a living and don't have to go to the mines or boats, we will be very grateful!"
Ruan Meng looked at Sun Chengen, whose cold demeanor had softened slightly, as if he agreed with what the village chief had said.
Now that the cooperation agreement has been finalized, what's the point of delaying anything?
Magistrate Deng began, "So, when shall we finalize the documents?"
Ruan Meng and the village chief both looked at Sun Chengen.
"As long as there are no objections, I will pay on the spot whenever you provide the documents and the initial production budget."
For the first time, Ruan Meng realized that this difficult person actually had many good qualities.
For example, are they quick to pay?
