At this moment, Zhou Xiaozhou was somewhat thankful that Wu Sanmei was a very diligent child. The dining table was cleaned very cleanly, and only a little fragrance remained in the air. The people of the Li family could not guess what it was.

"Uncle Jinniu, have you dug the second big pit?" Zhou Xiaozhou is well aware of the truth that offense is the best defense. If you don't want others to ask you some embarrassing questions, you have to ask questions continuously.

"After digging, it's just like the previous puddle, no water comes out." Li Jinniu was a little depressed, wasting a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. The pit was dug but there was no water at all.

Zhou Xiaozhou thought for a moment and continued, "It's probably the same as the previous one. When we finished digging the day before yesterday, there didn't seem to be much water. Didn't the water come later?"

The faint aroma in the air went straight into people's noses. Li Jinniu's nose was very sensitive. He sniffed twice more and said, "What on earth is this smell? It smells so good!"

Hehe, the Wu family smiled awkwardly but politely, but no one could answer.

Zhou Xiaozhou failed to change the subject.

The main reason was that the crispy duck was too powerful. The entire duck went into the Wu family's stomachs, and even the bones were chewed and swallowed. Any leftovers would be considered a disrespect for food by the farmers.

"Ge..." Wu Xiaobao couldn't hold it back and burped loudly. He was really too satisfied with the meal.

After Lao Gan Ma mixed vegetables, Wu Xiaobao had a new pursuit. He announced that crispy duck was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten in his life.

The smell contained in this burp is a bit embarrassing.

Li Dahu couldn't help swallowing, but he was not his father, so he could hold back and not speak.

Facing Li Jinniu's piercing gaze, Wu Xiaobao quickly covered his mouth and ran to the kitchen as fast as he could. He was too embarrassed to see anyone.

"Well, Taurus! Is there anything you need to come here now?" Old Wu couldn't stand the pressure anymore and spoke. He hoped that this young man could understand something and leave his house quickly.

"I heard that Master Zhou is back, so I came to see him!" Li Jinniu said as if he had something important to do.

Zhou Xiaozhou thought to himself, you are here to laugh at me.

"Well, the person is here, just look!" Old Wu's words were simply a stroke of genius, and Li Jinniu was unable to respond.

"Haha." Li Jinniu laughed foolishly to hide his embarrassment.

Zhou Xiaozhou played dumb and said nothing. For a moment, one could hear a pin drop in the Wu family's yard.

"Village Chief...Village Chief..."

Shouts coming from far away broke the awkward atmosphere.

Hearing the anxious tone, Zhou Xiaozhou realized that something might have happened in the village.

Old Wu stood up suddenly and walked quickly towards the gate of the courtyard.

Zhou Xiaozhou didn't recognize the person who came, but he felt that he looked very familiar, as if he had met him somewhere in the village.

"What's the matter?" Old Wu stopped smoking.

"Someone, someone is coming to the village."

The person who came was Xiao Liuzi. He and Liu Ming were waiting at the entrance of the village, ready to call people into the village if they saw anyone coming down the mountain.

Li Jinniu suddenly became anxious: "Did you see clearly? How many people are there?"

Xiao Liuzi swallowed and said, "There are only two of them. Uncle Liu said they look like they are wearing the clothes of the county's grain collection team."

What should we do? Everyone in the yard became anxious.

"Dad?" Wu Wen looked at his father, wanting the old man to make a decision, and then turned around to grab the weapon that suits him.

Hearing the sound of shouting in the next yard, Old Man Li also walked to the gate of the Wu family's yard.

Old Wu shouted at his son: "Why are you panicking?"

After all, the older generation has more experience. Old man Li said, "It's not the time for the summer grain to fall yet, so the grain-collecting team shouldn't come so early. But a group of people from Jinniu's father-in-law's village went there a while ago and said that they need to pay more grain this year. Maybe they're here to notify us."

"Your uncle Li is right. Aren't there only two people here? If they really came to collect food, there wouldn't be only two of them." Two people, what can they do? They are not afraid of getting into the village but not being able to leave.

"Let's go and take a look." Old Wu and his men left in a mighty manner.

Zhou Xiaozhou was ignored, but this was exactly what she wanted. She managed to get away with it.

Zhang was still busy in the kitchen. It was not that she didn't hear the noise in the yard, but that was a man's business. As a woman, she couldn't care about what was going on outside. It was her duty to take care of the family. Wu Sanmei had just finished washing the dishes and had been standing at the door of the kitchen listening for a while.

Zhou Xiaozhou called her over: "Third sister, come and help me pack my things."

Wu Xiaobao also followed happily. He wanted to see what other treasures Sister Zhou had brought back and whether there were more delicious foods.

Zhou Xiaozhou opened the box containing the roast duck and took out several cowhide bags from it.

She handed it to Wu Sanmei solemnly and said earnestly, "Sanmei, I will have to rely on you for my food problem in the future. But I really can't get used to the food you eat here."

Wu Sanmei's expression changed suddenly.

Zhou Xiaozhou quickly tried to make amends: "It's not that your cooking is bad, it's just that I'm picky. Look at the salad we had yesterday afternoon, isn't it delicious? I like that kind of food."

Wu Sanmei pouted unconsciously. Sister Zhou was so good at cooking and yet she was so modest. If she had that skill, she could open a shop in the county. She dared to say that Sister Zhou's skill in making cold dishes was something that only a few people in the county could match.

Zhou Xiaozhou felt guilty. Look how wronged the little girl was. I cooked for you, and you still dared to be picky. If you have the ability, you can do it yourself. Zhou Xiaozhou didn't have that ability, so he had to beg the little girl for food.

"Look, Sanmei, there are some condiments in this paper bag. This is barbecue seasoning. Put a little bit of it when cooking and the dish will be very fragrant. This is chicken essence. Put a little bit of it when cooking or making soup and the taste will be very fresh. This is Lao Gan Ma chili sauce." Zhou Xiaozhou took out a glass bottle from the bottom of the box.

"This is for making cold dishes. Just like what I did yesterday, I blanched the wild vegetables and put some of this in them. It tastes delicious."

Seeing the familiar glass bottle of chili sauce, the little girl smiled. She washed the bottle from yesterday and put it away. The crystal clear thing was so beautiful. She planned to use it to drink water. The lid could be closed, but it was not tight enough and leaked. But it didn't matter, it was the first one in the village.

Wu Xiaobao grabbed one and held it in his arms, grinning foolishly. He knew it was delicious.

Zhou Xiaozhou pulled it off for him and said, "Xiaobao, give this to your sister and put it in the kitchen. Your sister will make you something delicious. I also brought you something better!"

Wu Xiaobao had been looking forward to something better.
