The villagers had already taken their seats according to the seating arrangements, and the sound of bustling conversations could be heard one after another.

The village chief stood up and cleared his throat. His voice was loud and powerful. He first thanked Xue Qing and the Wu family for their hospitality. Then, on behalf of the whole village, young and old, he welcomed Manager Xie of Youran Ju and thanked him for giving the villagers of Shilibao Village the opportunity to earn money.

At the same time, he also warned the villagers to work hard and send the best mushrooms to Youran Ju.

The villagers listened attentively and applauded enthusiastically from time to time. Xue Qing also smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement with the village chief's speech.

After finishing her speech, Xue Qing began her toasting session. She picked up her wine glass and walked from the main table to each table, expressing respect and gratitude to every villager.

When Xue Qing toasted to the last table, he saw his old acquaintance Mrs. Peng. He glanced at her, nodded, and then raised his glass to toast everyone.

Mrs. Peng saw that Xue Qing was still very nice to her and thought that the festive mood was finally over.

For the brothers who came to work with Chen Peng, today's dishes refreshed their cognition. Tofu can be eaten in this way, and the fish did not have any fishy smell at all. No one at the two tables spoke, they just concentrated on eating.

I was afraid of saying one more word, so I ate one less bite.

The other villagers all buried their heads in eating. It had been as long since there had been any weddings or funerals in the village as it had been since they had had any banquets.

What’s more, the banquet this time included dishes I had never seen before, including steamed buns made entirely of fine flour.

Xue Qing, Liu and Fang, Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Ding, Aunt Liang, and Jiang Yi all sat at the main table. They had been eating at Wu's house these days, so although there were some new dishes today, they were no longer so impatient.

Only Fang was eating it for the first time. She was shocked after the first bite and did not bother to curse anyone and kept eating.

Xue Qing looked at the people at other tables and suddenly felt a little sympathy. Perhaps only the era he had lived in allowed the most ordinary people to live a life of plenty.

At this moment, I actually miss home, that home that is getting farther and farther away, and I don’t know if it is still possible to go back.

Liu noticed that Xue Qing was in a low mood and gently squeezed her hand under the table.

Xue Qing felt Liu's concern, pursed her lips, and patted her hand: "Mom, please eat more"

When everyone was enjoying the meal, he stood up and said, "Thank you all for your support to our Wu family, and thank you for your trust in us."

At this time, everyone slowly stopped when they heard Xue Qing talking, and looked at Xue Qing: "Some time ago, everyone was picking mushrooms in the mountains. I'm sure you all have noticed that there are fewer and fewer mushrooms now. What kind of work are we going to do in the future?"

The weather was getting colder, but I couldn’t make any more money, and the food suddenly lost its flavor.

Xue Qing looked at everyone's faces and continued, "Dear fellow villagers, now that we have run out of mushrooms, we can make something else," and then he took out the spices he had prepared earlier.

"My mother and I accidentally picked this up on the mountain. There is a large patch of it on the back hill. Fellow villagers can collect these and sell them to us like we did with the mushrooms before."

Shopkeeper Xie looked at Xue Qing. This woman was truly extraordinary. He was glad that Youran Ju had reached a cooperation with her first, otherwise she would have been a strong opponent.

The village chief looked at Xue Qing with admiration as he spoke.

Just as everyone's emotions were starting to pick up again, a discordant voice came from outside the door.
