The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became quiet. Not only were Village Chief Wang and Qian's mother frightened, but even Zhou You was scared to death.
No wonder my father doesn't let me go out. Even if I go out, he insists that I bring two guards with me.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to be on duty at night right after I get down." Village Chief Wang quickly expressed his opinion.
"We also need to form a village guard team." County Magistrate Zhou reminded him.
"Okay, okay."
Village chief Wang responded one by one, saying that compared with his life, forming a guard team and keeping night watch were trivial matters.
It is freezing cold now, and no one is doing farm work. They have plenty of energy to join the guard and stand guard. However, it is too cold to stand guard at night.
Qian Chunhua and Qingsong worked hard in the kitchen, and finally the last dish, pickled fish, was ready.
"Qingsong, come, help mom take the dishes out."
After Qian Chunhua instructed Qingsong to leave, he took out all the dishes that had just been stored in the space, all of which were hot.
Qian Chunhua came to the lobby with a pot of fried crispy meat in one hand.
"Hurry, eat it while it's hot." Qian Chunhua asked everyone to take a seat quickly.
While putting the crispy meat on the table, there were two pots and two tables.
Qian Chunhua thought that Zhou Xianyu's family would sit at one table, and the guards he brought with him would sit at another table.
So this time, all the dishes made by Qian Chunhua were served in two portions.
When County Magistrate Zhou saw this scene, his eyes flickered slightly. It was the first time he met a shop owner who did something unauthorized like this.
All the dishes were of the same quality, and the guards' meals were not downgraded.
This woman is interesting.
County Magistrate Zhou didn't know whether Qian Chunhua's behavior was acceptable or not, but he had a vague feeling that this woman was not as respectful to him as the village chief, and she did not treat the guards with the same contempt as she treated servants.
When Village Chief Wang saw the food was served, he stood up immediately and said, "County Master, please eat first. I will come back later."
Village chief Wang had already smelled the aroma of the crispy meat and saw the pot of pickled fish. He was almost drooling.
However, this was the county magistrate's meal, and he didn't dare to dream about it.
Qian Chunhua opened her mouth. She originally wanted to invite Village Chief Wang to stay for dinner, but then she changed her mind and realized that she was not qualified to ask him to stay.
After all, I am just a shop owner, not a boss.
"No, let's eat together." County Magistrate Zhou stopped Village Chief Wang from leaving.
Zhou Xianyu saw Qian Chunhua opening his mouth to keep the person just now. He felt both amused and curious.
What’s funny is that this female shopkeeper is really not shy and actually wanted to ask to keep the customer.
What was curious was that he actually had the same idea as the female shopkeeper just now, and felt that it would be okay for Village Chief Wang to stay for dinner.
County Magistrate Zhou shook his head slightly. His family had strict rules. Even legitimate sons and illegitimate sons were never allowed to eat at the same table. Yet, he actually had the idea of eating with a mere villager.
I'm afraid he was influenced by this female shopkeeper.
Village chief Wang sat down in fear and trepidation, daring only to place his buttocks slightly against the stool.
Qian Chunhua frowned, fearing that Village Chief Wang would not sit properly and fall off the stool. He was over fifty years old.
This age, in this era, is already considered advanced.
Qian Chunhua's eyes and frown also made County Magistrate Zhou notice the actions of Village Chief Wang.
County Magistrate Zhou quickly reminded her, "Be careful, don't fall."
