After watching the constables leave with the fake Taoist priest, the villagers who came to help comforted Xu Congyi. The village chief also assured Xu Congyi that if he encountered such a situation again in the future, he, as the village chief, would definitely seek justice for the Xu family.

Everyone was talking at once as they walked out the door. Xu's mother took out the snacks she had bought in the county town a few days ago, wanting to share some with everyone and let everyone have some tea, but the villagers directly refused. They all said that it was just a piece of cake and a trivial matter, and they refused to accept it. They all said that they still had work to do in their own fields and left the Xu family directly.

Xu Congyi was very touched. After she traveled here, she stayed at home except for occasional trips to the county town. She rarely interacted with the villagers. She only met a few villagers when she went out with Li Dahua to hire a bullock cart last time. She felt more and more that she was so lucky to travel here. Here, she not only had the love of her family, but also so many simple villagers who cared for her.

Aunt Zhao also said goodbye to the Xu family. Li Dahua tried her best to persuade her good friend to stay here for lunch. Aunt Zhao said that she had other things to do today, so she came to see Dahua and the child. Seeing that both mother and daughter were doing well, she felt relieved. Before leaving, Aunt Zhao wanted to give Li Dahua some money.

"Dahua, I have some money here. You can use it to nourish the child. I also have the two fish. You can make soup for the child."

Li Dahua quickly declined, "My family has money, I can accept the fish, but I absolutely cannot accept the money!"

Hunter Xu also echoed, "That's right, Aunt Zhao, I caught wild boars a few days ago and sold them to the restaurant. I made a lot of money. We have money, and we must not accept this money."

Aunt Zhao refused several times but still didn't give the money away. She felt helpless and had to give up.

Over there, Old Man Xu found a small wooden barrel with a lid at home and rinsed it carefully with water. This was the barrel he used to carry meals when he went to work in the fields. With a lid, he didn't have to worry about the meals spilling. Old Man Xu put the half pig's head left over from yesterday into the barrel and poured soup on it, and let Aunt Zhao take it home to eat.

"Aunt, take this home and eat it. This is the braised pig's head that Yi Yi made yesterday. It's so delicious!"

Aunt Zhao opened the wooden lid, and a burst of meaty aroma instantly rushed into her nose. She couldn't help but exclaim, "What a nice smell!"

When she realized what was happening, Aunt Zhao refused again and again, "Uncle, I came to see the child. I wanted to give the child some money, but you refused to accept it. You left two fish and now you want to give me meat. This is a lot of money. I can't accept it!"

"No, we must accept him!" Old Man Xu pretended to be serious. "If you hadn't asked us to report to the police in time, this fake Taoist priest wouldn't have been arrested right away. Our whole family thanks you. If you don't accept him, our whole family will not agree!"

The others nodded in agreement, insisting that Aunt Zhao take half the pig's head.

Seeing that the Xu family was so insistent, Aunt Zhao had no choice but to accept it. Besides, the smell of the pig's head was really too fragrant, a fragrance she had never smelled before, and she really wanted to try it.

After seeing off the villagers and Aunt Zhao, Xu Congyi walked to his grandmother and asked her quietly, "Grandma, if I want to invite the uncles who came to help today and the village chief to dinner, would it be inappropriate?"

Mother Xu thought about it for a moment and said, "Everyone in the village has been very kind to us. If we are going to invite everyone to dinner, I think we should invite everyone in the village."

Xu Congyi listened to her grandmother's words and nodded, thinking that what her grandmother said was more correct. In fact, Xu Congyi's previous memories have been slowly restored recently. She also remembers the care that the villagers of Liushuzhuang Village showed her. Every time she ran away due to illness, her uncle and aunt held her hand and sent her home. The children in the village were told by her family to take good care of her. Therefore, even though she was a mentally retarded child, she was never bullied. Later, because of her worsening health, Xu Congyi stayed in bed for longer and longer periods of time, and her memory became intermittent. What she recalled were the sad faces of her family and the black and bitter medicine.

"If our family invites the whole village to dinner, what should we eat?" Xu Congyi asked her grandmother. She didn't know much about ancient banquets.

"When we villagers entertain guests, we usually have buffets. Because we need to receive gifts, we will invite famous chefs from the surrounding villages to come to the village to cook. However, in Liushu Village, there are usually no banquets except for weddings and funerals. If we want to entertain guests, it is naturally to thank the whole village for taking care of us. We still need to discuss it with the whole family."

Xu Congyi agreed with what his grandmother said. After all, this was different from an ordinary banquet. It was more like inviting relatives and friends to dinner at home. He should wait until his two brothers got home from school in the evening and then discuss it together as a family.

Xu Congyi got up at around eight o'clock, and with the help of this fake Taoist priest, it was almost noon. Xu Congyi was a little hungry. Although the pork head was gone, there was still some broth in the pot. Li Dahua mixed white flour with a little cornmeal to make slightly hard noodles, and asked her husband to pick some vegetables. At noon, she rolled some noodles and cooked them in the broth, and added some vegetables. It was another delicious meal.

After dinner, Xu Congyi changed the water for the two pig offals. The blood had almost been soaked. There were no refrigerators in this era. She was afraid that the pig offals would go bad, so she planned to eat them directly in the afternoon. Xu Congyi thought more than once about how to make the chili taste better. As a spicy food lover, she felt that many dishes needed chili to taste good, just like the roujiamo last night. She could only go back to the space and add chili and coriander.

Xu Congyi thought hard about the time-travel novels she had read, trying to think of ways to allow things to cross the clear path. Suddenly, she thought of a method.

Xu Congyi stood beside Xu the Hunter who was chopping wood. Xu the Hunter often went to the county town to deliver goods. If there were foreigners there, Xu the Hunter would definitely know.

"father"

"What's wrong? Stand further away, or the wood stubble might splash on you!"

"Dad, have you ever seen a foreigner?"

"Foreigners? I've seen them before."

Xu Congyi was a little excited, "There really is a foreigner! Dad, tell me quickly, where did you see him! Tell me quickly!"

"I saw it in the restaurant where I delivered the wild boar meat. I thought it was a water ghost when I first saw it. I was scared. Its eyes were green!" Hunter Xu was a little confused. He didn't know why his daughter suddenly asked about foreigners.

"Why do you ask?"

Xu Congyi rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that you can buy a lot of strange things from foreigners, so I just asked my father. I didn't expect that there are foreigners here. It would be great if I could meet them next time."

Since Xu the Hunter has met foreigners, next time Xu Congyi can use the excuse that she bought things from foreigners, so that she can make the things in the space clear. Xu Congyi is a little excited, because the day when she can make spicy pork intestines, cold rabbit, and spicy chicken is just around the corner!
