The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

"Madam Su, you don't have to worry about this. The county magistrate is visiting my Willow Village. As the village chief, I should naturally be fully responsible for the reception."

Although these words were well-intentioned, they inevitably made the atmosphere a little awkward.

Su Yu was a man of meticulous mind, and he quickly understood the subtlety of the situation. He thought to himself that the village director's arrangement was more appropriate, and that he should not break the rules for personal gain and draw criticism.

So, she smiled and answered cheerfully: "In that case, please ask the village director to pass on my newly caught fresh fish so that the county magistrate can taste the natural delicacy of our Qingshui Town river!"

This calmness and magnanimity made the village chief, who was originally skeptical, feel a little guilty about his previous narrow-minded thinking.

At this moment, the county magistrate suddenly turned his gaze to Jiang Qishan in the crowd and made an unexpected request: "Brother Qishan, I want to visit your house. May I bother you?"

The sudden invitation made Jiang Qishan speechless for a moment. He was excited and nervous, and answered stumblingly: "Of course, I can, but my home is simple and I am afraid that I will be neglecting you."

When these words were spoken, not only Jiang Qishan himself, but also the village director was stunned by this sudden turn of events. However, due to the county magistrate's face, the village chief did not dare to disobey and hurriedly sent his son Jiang Yi to rush to Jiang Qishan's house to inform them of the news and urge them to make good preparations, especially to pay attention to the management of the chickens and ducks at home, so as to avoid a recurrence of the previous unpleasant episodes and become the talk of the neighbors again.

Afterwards, the village director enthusiastically proposed to the county magistrate to continue to tour the village scenery, striving to show the most charming side of Willow Village.

Song Junde secretly sighed on the side that if he could gain a deeper understanding of the sufferings of the people during this trip, it would be worth it even if he felt a little hungry.

On the other side, Jiang Yi rushed to Jiang Qishan's house anxiously, fearing that his mission was not carried out perfectly.

At the same time, Su Yu returned home leisurely with a full bucket of fish. Jiang Qishan's mother, Wu Lan, had been waiting anxiously at the door. When she saw Su Yu, she almost ran over to him, her eyes full of help: "Ziling's, you have to help me!"

Su Yu looked puzzled, with a hint of curiosity in her tone: "Aunt Wu, what happened? How can I help you?"

"Huaizhi came to me exhausted, with a slightly anxious look on his face, and told me a disturbing piece of news - the county magistrate suddenly decided to come to visit me in person, and specifically asked to taste my dishes. This was no joke, he insisted that I prepare a table of sumptuous meals, but my mediocre cooking skills were fine for me to do it myself, but if I really had to face a distinguished guest like the county magistrate, I would rather hide my shortcomings than show off my ugliness."

"Unlike you, Su Yu, every time you cook, the aroma fills the whole alley, making a mortal like me drool. How about this, I'll help you by washing and cutting the vegetables, and you'll be the chef? Your cooking skills will surely satisfy the county magistrate."

Wu Lan's heart was suddenly filled with mixed feelings, a mixture of nervousness, anticipation, and a hint of awe for power.

She really couldn't understand why the county magistrate chose an ordinary small family like hers to have a meal. She felt very nervous, fearing that the hospitality was not good enough.

In desperation, she could only seek help from Su Yu, who seemed ordinary but had superb cooking skills.

Although Su Yu and Wu Lan were not very close, he felt that she was a simple and kind person, so he could naturally empathize with Wu Lan's anxiety.

She agreed without hesitation, with a gleam of generosity in her eyes: "No problem, I just caught some fresh fish from the river this morning, which will be just enough to add color to our banquet."

Wu Lan looked at the fish jumping in the wooden barrel with silver light, feeling both envy and gratitude.

This fish was not only delicious, but also a testimony to Su Yu's generous help, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Su Yu, you are so kind. The county magistrate's visit is indeed a big deal. We must do our best."

Wu Lan nodded sincerely, silently promising in her heart that she would be rewarded handsomely in the future.

After learning about this, Su Yu went home and immediately discussed it with her husband Jiang Ziling. The two of them had a tacit understanding and Jiang Ziling nodded in support.

Afterwards, Su Yu walked straight to the yard next door where Jiang Youwei was, only to see Jiang Youwei holding a kitchen knife, struggling with the only laying hen in the house, but for the sake of hospitality, he was still ruthless.

Su Yu returned home and quickly collected eight precious medicinal materials, including angelica, codonopsis, wolfberry, astragalus, yam, adenophora, polygonatum and astragalus, and prepared to stew them with chicken to achieve the perfect state of nutrition and deliciousness.

Walking into the simple yet cozy kitchen, Su Yu immediately got busy, arranging everything skillfully.

Wu Lan followed the instructions and carefully put the precious brown rice into the pot, stirring it constantly to prevent it from sticking.

Su Yu carefully processed the fresh fish, keeping the fish scales for later use, cutting the fish meat into thin slices for marinating, and washing the green leafy vegetables that Wu Lan had just picked from the vegetable garden. Everything seemed in order.

When the brown rice is half cooked, the rice soup is carefully filtered out and transferred into the steamer to continue steaming.

Just at this moment, Jiang Youwei brought the cleaned chicken.

Su Yu skillfully cut the chicken into pieces and put it into the preheated casserole, along with the medicinal herbs and a few slices of ginger that had been prepared long ago, poured in clear spring water, and simmered it on the stove over a slow fire. The entire kitchen was instantly filled with a mouth-watering aroma.

Then, facing the almost empty oil tank, Su Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But she was not stumped by this small difficulty. She simply went back to the bedroom, took out a large porcelain bowl from home, scooped a full bowl of oil, and prepared to deal with the next cooking step.

Seeing all this, Wu Lan felt not only deep gratitude, but also a little shame for her family's poor situation.

Fortunately, Su Yu's face did not show the slightest displeasure, and she still maintained a gentle smile between her eyebrows, which made the people around her feel a little relieved and feel a sense of relief.

Su Yu personally cooked a series of exquisite dishes, including the tender and smooth boiled fish fillets, which were crystal clear and exuded an attractive luster after being soaked in red oil; the potato shreds with moderate sourness and spiciness, each as thin as a hair, sour and spicy, appetizing and delicious; and the green pepper and eggplant, which were soft and slightly spicy, colorful and increased people's appetite.

In addition, she also creatively fried golden and crispy sweet potato fries and rare crispy fish scales. These snacks not only have a unique taste, but also add fun to the table, adding a bit of creativity and surprise to the meal.

The wooden basin was filled with warm rice soup, which was made by slow-cooking selected rice and exuded a faint rice aroma.
