"Really?" The village chief's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Why would I lie to you?" Hu Shao took out a notice from his pocket. "I've come here today to inform you of something."
Next, Hu Shao told the villagers about how Longtan Grain and Oil Store was selling affordable meat.
The villagers of Dongxi Village did not question it; on the contrary, they were very enthusiastic.
"Let's go! Let's go! Lord Hu, we'll go with you to Dragon Pool right now."

It was just buying meat, but the villagers even brought their bedding.
Are they planning not to go back until they can buy meat?
There's no need for that. The city lord said that any villager who comes can buy it.
Yunyu quickly pulled Hu Shao aside to ask him questions.
