Leaving Mr. Qiu to talk with County Magistrate Guo and the others, Qiu Yinong took Fan Yurou to the west room for dinner.
"Don't be polite, it's just simple food." Mother Qiu greeted with a smile.
Wang looked at the dishes on the table and could hardly believe her ears. These dishes were full of fragrance and most of them she had never seen before. How could they be called simple meals?
After tasting it, they were even more amazed, and the mother and daughter of the Fan family couldn't stop praising it.
Wang felt more at ease. With such a sensible mother-in-law and such a well-behaved and intelligent sister-in-law, her daughter would definitely have a good life if she married into this family.
After eating and drinking, the two county magistrates prepared to say goodbye and leave.
County Magistrate Wang's wife, Yu, held Qiu Yinong tightly and refused to let go, repeatedly telling her to visit Qinyang County when she had time.
Qiu Yinong nodded in agreement, and then reluctantly followed County Magistrate Wang away.
Guo Youcai was just about to get on the bus when he saw the villagers busying around in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but become curious.
"Girl, would you like to accompany Uncle Guo for a walk around the village?" Guo Youcai greeted with a smile. Qiu Yinong smiled back and nodded in response.
Guo Youcai followed Qiu Yinong around the village, and everyone had a smile on their face.
When he reached the door of the temporary dim sum workshop, Guo Youcai looked at Qiu Yinong curiously.
"This is our dim sum workshop in Taohua Village, but it's temporary. The dim sum workshop is still under construction."
"Uncle Guo, please come in." Qiu Yinong made a gesture of invitation.
Guo Youcai smiled and said yes, then followed him in to visit the dim sum workshop. Every woman wore a blue headscarf on her head.
She wore arm guards and an apron.
The whole workshop is clean, with a baking oven on one side. The whole workshop is filled with sweet aromas, which whets people's appetite.
"Xiaoliu, you are here. Come and try it. These are freshly made glutinous rice balls." An aunt greeted Qiu Yinong warmly.
Qiu Yinong hurried over, took a few, and ran back to Guo Youcai.
"Uncle Guo, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Zhang, please try it."
"Hey, thank you Miss Qiu." Lawyer Xu Dewen and Captain Zhang Xiao took it happily and expressed their gratitude.
Guo Youcai also took a bite out of curiosity: "Hmm, delicious, soft, glutinous and sweet, but not cloying, not so sweet that it's inedible."
"It's really delicious." Xu Dewen also praised it repeatedly.
Even Zhang Xiao, who usually doesn't like sweets, nodded and said it was indeed delicious. Soon other aunts and sisters-in-law asked Qiu Yinong to eat the freshly baked snacks.
Qiu Yinong waved her hands repeatedly: "Pack it up for Lord Guo and the others. I just had dinner and I can't eat anymore."
"No, no." Guo Youcai waved his hands quickly.
Everyone in the village knew that the two county magistrates had come to the Qiu family, and no one was curious or afraid.
After a while, Guo Youcai and his friends had several more oil-paper packets in their hands. The women were too enthusiastic, so Qiu Yinong gestured for them to take them back and try them.
Only then did Guo Youcai accept the snacks.
After leaving the dim sum workshop, he walked somewhere else.
Many men were planting trees. Guo Youcai was confused: "It's already mid-April. Why are they transplanting trees now? Will they survive?"
"Yes, you see, we transplanted them with the roots and soil."
In addition, since she gave them stream water mixed with spiritual spring water, these osmanthus trees will survive and bloom this year.
"I'm building a new type of rural village. Our Taohua Village is named after the peach trees that are abundant and the peach blossoms that cover the hillsides in spring."
"I felt that it shouldn't be wasted, so I discussed with the village head about building a new-style village to attract talented men and beautiful women to come and visit."
"Then we will introduce peach blossom wine, peach blossom-themed snacks and desserts."
"In autumn, we appreciate osmanthus, drink osmanthus wine, and taste osmanthus snacks and desserts. Life is comfortable and joyful."
"I want to buy some sweet osmanthus flowers and put them in the wine, so that I can enjoy myself with a few friends."
Guo Youcai and the other two stared at Qiu Yinong blankly, and were infected by the confidence and sunny smile on her face.
"Yi girl, you really shocked your uncle."
"If your village truly becomes famous in the future, it will be of great benefit to my political achievements. Please accept Uncle Guo's greetings!"
As he spoke, Guo Youcai bowed solemnly to Qiu Yinong.
"Uncle Guo must come then. Besides osmanthus flowers, we will also have a banquet to appreciate chrysanthemums and plum blossoms."
"You've made me look forward to it. The peach blossoms are withering now, but I can only imagine how spectacular Peach Blossom Village will be in spring."
Xu Dewen was originally a legal advisor, very elegant. He looked around and then at the blue brick road under his feet.
It was hard to believe that he was standing in a village at this moment.
This road is even more prosperous than some remote towns, and all of this is brought by the little girl in front of him.
How could he not be shocked.
"Please come this way. We have a kiln factory and a porcelain kiln in our village."
“Even the top-tier smokeless carbon, that’s the water windmill, it’s the suggested model made by my eldest brother.”
Seeing Guo Youcai staring at a small water windmill not far away, she introduced it enthusiastically.
"It can actually draw water on its own. If it were used in arid areas, it would save a lot of trouble."
Guo Youcai's eyes lit up: "Can this thing be made bigger? Can it be used in farmland?"
"Of course you can." Qiu Yinong smiled. Guo Youcai was stunned for a moment and then he also laughed.
"Naughty little girl, okay, I'll submit a petition to the court when I get back. The Minister of Works will surely be interested."
Qiu Yinong bowed and saluted: "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Guo."
"She is indeed a clever little girl. Let's go and take a look at your brick factory." Guo Youcai laughed.
Qiu Yinong led the way and took people to the brick factory.
"Are these red things bricks?" Guo Youcai was surprised as he looked at the rows of red bricks in front of him.
Are there red bricks?
"Well, this is the only red brick in the whole of Da Chu. And those over there are glazed tiles. They sparkle in the sun, hence the name."
Qiu Yinong pointed to the glazed tiles not far away and introduced them to Guo Youcai and others.
Guo Youcai walked over, touched it, and murmured to himself, "I want to see how your brain is. Why aren't you my daughter? I really envy Brother Qiu."
"Is it too late to steal you back now?" Guo Youcai said seriously.
Xu Dewen couldn't help laughing, then said seriously: "Sir, robbing a good family's daughter is a serious crime."
"Hahahaha." Zhang Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud.
Uncle Gai Sheng came over upon hearing the voice, and upon seeing Guo Youcai, he bowed and saluted: "I am honored to meet you, sir."
"No need to be so polite." Guo Youcai smiled and waved his hand. Uncle Gai Sheng looked at Qiu Yinong and said, "I was just about to go find you, Xiaoliu."
"The glazed tiles you mentioned are now finished. Do you think they are up to standard?"
After saying that, he turned around and ran to get a few small tiles. Qiu Yinong took them and looked at them, and saw some fine lines on them.
"It's more precise than the previous proportions, and it looks fine, but it might break over time."
"Okay." Uncle Gai Sheng nodded.
