Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

In the next few days, the whole family was busy making and selling mooncakes. The most popular ones were those with red bean filling. After all, ordinary people were not well-off, and those who were well-off would buy a few with fresh meat filling while they were still hot.

Those who order the dried meat fillings are all wealthy families in the city. No matter what the reason, they can only make so many a day. If they want to order more, they can only think of other ways, such as asking the housekeeper or servant to buy it with their own quota, or buying quotas from the people in the city.

No matter what means they use, Yan Yiyi only lets everyone do so much in one day. With this experience, both Hua Muchin and herself will have experience next year, so they won't have to do it themselves.

As for the secret guards, they just regarded it as a test to hone their cooking skills. After all, it was worth it as they learned the skill.

Three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Ji Grocery Store posted a notice announcing the holiday, which made workers in surrounding shops very envious.

At noon on the same day, Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi went to the yamen to deliver mooncakes to the magistrate and the legal advisor. Unexpectedly, they ran into a person who surprised them very much at the gate of the yamen.

"Lord Ren!"

Yes, this person was Ren Huaimin who brought sweet potatoes back to Beijing two months ago to report.

Ren Huaimin was also very surprised: "Are you here for something?"

"No, isn't it almost Mid-Autumn Festival? We are here to give some gifts to the magistrate and the secretary. We made our own mooncakes."

When Ren Huaimin first heard that they were coming to give gifts to the magistrate and the legal advisor in an open and aboveboard manner, his heart skipped a beat and he could not help but look at his colleagues who were accompanying them. But when he heard that they were giving him food that they had made themselves and it could not be considered a bribe, he immediately felt at ease.

"Aye, let me introduce you to my colleague, Lord Feng. Lord Feng, these two are the great contributors to the discovery and cultivation of sweet potatoes, the Li family couple, Li Xinye and Li Yanshi."

Xinye and Yan Yiyi tactfully paid their respects to Lord Feng whom they met for the first time. Lord Feng was of rather plump figure. Li Xinye couldn't help but wonder which department in the Sinong Temple had so much money to support such a well-rounded talent.

Lord Feng was also quite surprised. He didn't expect to meet the person he was going to meet this time right at the gate of the yamen. Moreover, from the tone of their voices, they seemed quite familiar with each other. What Old Ren said was right. They were different from ordinary people.

Hmm...it's definitely different.

The men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and the temperament they exude is extraordinary.

Lord Feng smiled kindly and said, "We are here to announce the emperor's order and to stay in the village to observe the growth of corn and water spinach. Therefore, we need to stay in the village for a long time. We apologize for disturbing you in the future."

"You are too polite, Lord Feng." Xin Ye looked flattered, then scratched his head and said innocently, "It is an honor for our Dashan Village that the emperor has appointed you and Uncle Ren to come to our village."

Yan Yiyi, who was hiding slightly behind Xin Ye, glanced at Xin Ye secretly and was secretly shocked: Well, this man is acting again. Do all these old men fall for this?

Yan Yiyi glanced at Ren Huaimin and Lord Feng almost imperceptibly. Lord Feng looked very kind, but how could such a simple and kind person thrive so well in the officialdom?

Lord Feng's eyes narrowed into a smile, and he looked very friendly: "Since you call Old Ren Uncle Ren, you should also call me Uncle Feng. Uncle Feng, I won't be polite to you, and you don't have to be polite to Uncle Feng either."

"Okay, then...then I won't be polite to Uncle Feng." Xin Ye was very good at taking advantage of the situation. "Uncle Ren, Uncle Feng, I'll go give some mooncakes to Uncle Chen and Uncle Xu first, and we'll go back to the village in a while."

Yan Yiyi pulled Xin Ye's sleeve, and Xin Ye felt her movement and looked back at her: "Wife, what's wrong?"

Yan Yiyi smiled politely and said, "My dear, I can deliver the mooncakes to Uncle Chen and Uncle Xu, but you can't neglect Uncle Ren and Uncle Feng like this.

I will go back to the shop and tell my father before returning to the village. You don't have to worry about me going back alone. I will ask my brothers to go back with me."

Xin Ye understood what she meant instantly: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble my wife." Xin Ye handed the basket in his hand to Yan Yiyi. The basket contained four cylindrical mooncakes wrapped in oil paper.

After Yan Yiyi greeted Ren Huaimin and Lord Feng, she walked past them and entered the government office.

Xin Ye gave an embarrassed smile: "Then I will be polite and take advantage of Uncle Ren and Uncle Feng's carriage."

This time the two men did not bring many people. The main persons in charge were Ren Huaimin and Lord Feng. Behind them were four horseback guards and a guard responsible for driving the carriage. The personnel equipment was very simple.

"By the way, Uncle Ren, didn't you give all the things to the villagers before you left? Now that you have to stay for a while, do you need to buy some daily necessities?"

"Aye is right. I almost forgot. Then please take us to buy some." Uncle Ren thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if the carpenter in the village has bathtubs and wooden basins?"

"Yes, we had guests come to our house before and cleared out all his previous stock. Recently, his whole family has been busy making it!"

"have a guest?"

"Yes, my wife's second brother and younger brother have also come. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will go to Sand City with them."

Ren Huaimin understood what he meant and was not worried at all about revealing his wife's identity to Lao Feng.

This kid is too honest. Since Lao Feng asked him to call him uncle, he didn't stand on guard against Lao Feng. Fortunately, although Lao Feng is a smooth person, he is not a black-hearted person, otherwise he and Lao Feng would not have been friends for more than ten years.

Upon hearing this, Lord Feng actively joined in the conversation between the two: "You are going to Sand City. When will you be back? Have you arranged the work at home?"

"I'll go there and come back after the Chinese New Year. It takes two or three months to go to Shacheng and back. My wife hasn't been back to her parents' home for almost two years, so I'll go back with her to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

As for the housework, my father will take care of it. He doesn't know anything about corn and water spinach, but we are worried about it. We thought that at worst we could find some more seeds on the way and plant them again when we come back next year.

What a coincidence, Uncle Ren and Uncle Feng are here, hehe!"

Ren Huaimin and Lord Feng were both amused by his honesty. They were not annoyed at all for being suddenly assigned the task by him. Instead, they felt that this young man was honest but a little clever, and was flexible, with a sense of being wise but appearing foolish.

It was rare for Lord Feng to express appreciation and liking for a younger generation whom he met for the first time, while Ren Huaimin liked this young junior more and more.

Xin Ye took in the micro-expressions on their faces, and the smile on his lips deepened.
