The villagers asked, "Miss Li, who are these people you are leading?"
Li Yan smiled and replied, "These are my uncles. I happened to run into them at the town's dock today, looking for me! My uncle is coming to the village to thank Grandma Zhang for saving me!"
The crowd immediately exploded, and some rushed to inform Mrs. Zhang's family of the news.
The villagers looked at the big pork leg in Lin Feng's hand, which looked to be about forty or fifty kilograms. This Miss Li's uncle was an honest man!
The villagers enthusiastically surrounded Li Yan and her group and brought them to Mrs. Zhang's house.
Mrs. Zhang had already heard the news and was standing at the door to welcome the group!
When the person reached the door, Lin Feng bowed to Mrs. Zhang and thanked her: "Thank you, mother-in-law, for saving my niece's life!"
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "No way, come in quickly, come in quickly!"
Mrs. Zhang led the group into the main hall and told her little granddaughter to fetch bowls. She enthusiastically poured hot water for the group, saying, "Our home is simple, and we don't have anything good to treat you. Just drink some water to quench your thirst!"
Lin Feng stopped her: "Mother-in-law, don't be busy. I came here today just to thank you for taking care of my Yan'er these days!" After that, he put the gifts he had just bought in town on the table.
"Time is short, Yan'er said she would pick up the things you need to buy, I hope Grandma won't mind!"
Mrs. Zhang looked at the things Lin Feng placed on the table, which must be worth at least one or two taels of silver, and waved her hands repeatedly.
Li Yan grabbed her mother-in-law's hand and coaxed her, "Grandma, just consider it my filial piety. In a few days, I will be going back with my uncle. You can keep it as a reminder, so just accept it!"
After hearing what Li Yan said, Mrs. Zhang stopped refusing.
Mrs. Zhang said to the crowd, "Everyone, stay and eat! I'll go cook!"
He then instructed Chun Ya who was standing beside him: "Go to the clan leader's house and invite the old man to be our guest!"
After receiving the order, Chun Ya quickly ran out of the yard.
Li Yan followed Grandma Zhang into the kitchen and helped her.
At this moment, there was nothing good at home to entertain the distinguished guests from afar, so Mrs. Zhang rolled up her sleeves and went to catch a chicken.
Li Yan, who was standing by, stopped her: "Grandma, this chicken is laying eggs now. It would be a shame to kill it! We bought some pork legs today, so we can just cut off some meat and stew it!"
Mrs. Zhang said a little embarrassedly, "Will it be bad if we stew the food that the customer just bought?"
Li Yan waved her hand and cut off a piece with one knife!
While Li Yan was busy cutting meat, Mrs. Zhang went to the room and got out a dozen eggs for use.
Li Yan saw radishes in the kitchen basket and asked, "How about making braised pork with radishes today?"
The two of them worked hard and made several dishes.
Steamed egg with minced meat, braised pork with radish, stir-fried vegetables and egg drop soup. Although there are not many dishes, the quantity is sufficient.
At this time, Patriarch Chen in the main hall was already chatting with Lin Feng.
Upon learning they had come all the way from the northwest as merchants, Chief Chen became even more curious and asked Lin Feng about the tax situation in the north.
Lin Feng sighed, "The imperial government's taxes have increased over the years, and the people's lives have become difficult. In our northern land, many more people have fled famine this year!"
After hearing what Lin Feng said, Patriarch Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, but fortunately, Granny Zhang showed up in time and brought up the prepared meal.
