The dinner was very satisfying. Everyone thought the dishes were especially delicious, which naturally made the old man very happy. He kept saying, "Then I have to reward them well."

"It's really hard work. You have to cook different dishes all day long. The dishes in those hotels outside are not half as good as here." Li Rongsen was telling the truth.

Yan Qingqiu immediately responded, "Of course, don't you see what the level is here?"

The old man chuckled and said, "I don't have anything else to do, so it would be convenient to prepare some food. I'm looking around for a recipe."

"You mean you want to change 108 dishes every day." Meidie said.

“That’s not necessary, as long as most of the dishes are new.” The old man was not that greedy.

"That's right, don't be so wasteful. I don't want to be some old Buddha." An Yan also said.

"Okay, I'll go back to the kitchen and praise them." The old man went to the kitchen to reward the chef, and Meidie followed him and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to take a look and bring the fruit after dinner."

"Let me go with you." Yan Qingqiu was most enthusiastic about food, and he also wanted to go over and pick some fruits.

"Okay, come with me and help me carry the fruit plates." Meidie said.

"No problem." Yan Qingqiu gestured for her to lead the way.

Bei Feng also wanted to go with them, so he said, "Wait for me, I will go with you to get the fruit."

"It doesn't take three people to serve the fruits. You can discuss the situation on the river with An Yan and the others. We will be back soon." Mei Die said and turned around and walked out.

Yan Qingqiu followed behind her and asked her, "Why are you so eager to serve the fruit today? It's not like you at all. There are so many people below, just give them a command."

"I can't cook, but can't I make a fruit platter?" Mei Die snorted. She just wanted to show off her virtue.

Yan Qingqiu burst out laughing and said, "Hey, don't force it. Beifeng doesn't like you just because you can do housework."

"Then you have to learn to make some. You will have to do it yourself in the future." Meidie said seriously.

"Do you need to learn this? It's just arranging fruits. You should also learn something more difficult." Yan Qingqiu laughed at her.

Meidie pouted and said, "Start with the simple ones first, and improve step by step."

Yan Qingqiu didn't think much of it at first, but then he seemed to understand what was going on and asked Meidie, "What's wrong? Are you serious about marrying him? You've even set a date?"

"It's nothing. Don't let your imagination run wild and don't talk nonsense." Meidie hurriedly explained to him.

"Then why are you so anxious?" Yan Qingqiu didn't understand her thoughts and asked her again, "Hey, Bei Feng has confessed his love to you many times, did you promise him that you didn't have any?"

"Don't be in a hurry to agree." Meidie's cheeks flushed again.

"Are you still thinking about Linghai?" Yan Qingqiu asked her.

Meidie quickly retorted: "I didn't, why should I think about him, he and I are just strangers."

"That's fine. Go find your own happiness as soon as possible. I think Beifeng is a very good man. He treats you well and obeys you. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Yan Qingqiu thought that they were a good match.

But Meidie had her concerns. She said, "I heard that the women in the Sea Country are very beautiful."

"You are beautiful too." Yan Qingqiu blurted out. He regarded Mei Die as a good friend, so there was no need to hide anything when talking to her.

Mei Die sighed and said, "If I were as beautiful as An Yan, I wouldn't be afraid."

"You really are ridiculous. There are few women in this world who can compare to her. Besides, it's not enough to be beautiful to please others. Fate is a matter of one man for one woman. It's enough if you are attracted to each other. Why think so much?" Yan Qingqiu advised her like an experienced person.

Meidie said nothing and just went to the kitchen.

An Yan on the other end motioned Bei Feng to sit down, and saw that a servant had already brought up some tea.

Bei Feng said, "The situation over there on the river is pretty good. Everyone's life is starting to get back in order, and they keep praising you."

"Thank you for your hard work. You have been helping there all the time. I will have to rely on you to take care of the house for a few more days." An Yan said to him. She was originally worrying about how to get rid of Mei Die, but she ended up running to the kitchen to help by herself, which made her much easier to talk to.

Bei Feng said immediately: "It's okay, I'm willing to help, it's a piece of cake, after all, I know a lot about water areas, I can't help with anything else."

"Come, have some tea." Li Rongsen poured a glass of water and brought it to him, then said, "We are just worried that you won't be able to stay here for long."

"You can rest assured about this. As long as Meidie is here, I will stay here for a long time. I have never thought about going somewhere else." Beifeng chuckled and picked up the teacup to take a sip of tea.

He spoke from the heart, and he actually couldn't live without Meidie.

Li Rongsen glanced at An Yan.

An Yan said: "You don't plan to go back to Haiguo, that's your hometown."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I'm not going back. I want to stay here. I'm much freer here and I can do whatever I want. I like it here, and I want to stay with Meidie." Beifeng said very naturally. There was no sign of reluctance or hesitation on his part.

"But your family is there, you can't stay there forever," said Li Rongsen.

Bei Feng frowned slightly and said, "My eldest brother is in charge there, and my second brother will also help. It would be useless for me to go back. Instead, I would be controlled by them. I don't like that."

"Why does it seem like you're escaping?" An Yan said bluntly.

"Not really. I've been out for a long time anyway. They haven't come to look for me, and they don't have the time to look for me." Bei Feng said.

An Yan said: "So you and Ling Hai were engaged. Now she is gone. I guess your brothers will come to look for you."

Bei Feng said quickly: "They won't come looking for me. I can't be of any use to the Sea Country. They don't need me or anything."

"It's hard to say." An Yan said meaningfully while taking a sip of tea.

Li Rongsen continued his words and said, "Today, An Yan and I passed through Haiguo and found that they were choosing a wife for you."

"What?" Bei Feng was extremely surprised and looked incredulous.

An Yan said: "I'm not lying to you. We saw it with our own eyes. They are going to select ten tutors for you, but in fact they are choosing a wife for you. Many women in the city have gone to the palace to sign up."

"How is this possible?" Bei Feng suddenly became anxious. He glanced at An Yan and Li Rongsen's faces and thought it made no sense for them to lie to him.

Li Rongsen naturally heard what was in his heart and said directly: "Why should we lie to you? There is no benefit in lying to you."

Bei Feng nodded slightly and said, "Maybe that's not the case. It's just that my elder brother is using my identity to do something."

"Really?" An Yan seemed a little unconvinced.

Bei Feng said: "You must not tell Mei Die about this. She will definitely misunderstand me. I haven't caught up with her yet."

"What's going on between you two?" Li Rongsen asked him.

"She hasn't agreed to me yet." Beifeng told him the truth.

An Yan didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup and drank the tea. After thinking for a while, she said, "If she agrees to you, will you take her back to the Sea Country?"
