"Mom, there are only a few ways to cook food. Just soak the dried ones until they are soft. You can eat this the same way you eat dried vegetables. I soaked some and will make a few dishes tonight. You can try."

"Okay, if it doesn't taste good, we can't afford to offend you, so it's better to try it first."

How can seafood not be delicious? It is much more delicious than meat.

"Where's Dad?"

"He's watching the servants clean up. He said he wouldn't feel at ease unless he watched."

Okay, she was quite curious about the marquis. She also wondered what the nobles in ancient times looked like and what they wore.

In the evening, the family was very satisfied with the freshly cooked seafood, especially the cold jellyfish salad, which had a crispy texture. Lin Dashan and Wang loved it very much.

"My daughter, I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of tomorrow's meal."

Wang's face turned red. She felt really ashamed that as a woman, she couldn't even help with kitchen matters.

"No problem." It's just a matter of talking. If she hadn't been so malnourished before, she would have been able to go to the stove and cook it herself.

After dinner, Lin Xiaomi went into the kitchen. She wanted to make some snacks in the evening to entertain guests the next day.

Red bean paste crystal cake. Mix glutinous rice flour and sugar, add boiling water, simmer for 5 minutes, add oil and knead evenly, tear off a small piece and wrap it with red bean paste, then put it into the previously prepared plum blossom mold and steam it for minutes.

She had planned to make some snacks during the Chinese New Year and asked the carpenter to make some molds for her, but she didn't expect her father to buy a lot of them, so she didn't make any. Now, the molds just came in handy.

"Miss, this snack is really delicious, soft and chewy, not greasy at all."

"It looks nice, too, much more refined than the ones I bought in the city."

"Miss is really clever and skillful."

A group of cooks surrounded her and flattered her. Lin Xiaomi smiled and thought that some of their words were just for listening.

Afterwards, I made lotus root candied meat, egg pastry, lotus pastry and osmanthus cake.

She worked on these few snacks for most of the night. She checked that everything that needed to be soaked was ready and someone went to purchase fresh ingredients before dawn, so she went back to her room and went to sleep with peace of mind.

Seeing her yawning all the way, the couple who were still waiting for her felt heartbroken. Their daughter really cared about this family.

"You can sleep a little longer tomorrow. Dad will keep an eye on the rest. When people arrive, you can just take charge of the kitchen."

"understood."

Xiao Ran washed up early in the morning and waited for his father to have breakfast together. He was very much looking forward to today's trip. He had never visited a farmer's family before.

Xiao Zhen couldn't help laughing when he saw how impatient he was. He didn't know who this kid looked like. He was stubborn and couldn't sit still for a moment. He did all kinds of things every day, which made people suffer a lot.

"I'll be there in a minute. Be good and don't run around. Do you hear me?"

"I know, Dad!" The Marquis was used to saying things faster than he meant them and not being able to do them.

Han Yushan didn't sleep much last night, fearing that Lin Dashan might make a mistake and implicate him. He stared at the two panda eyes and said, "Greetings to the Marquis."

Xiao Ran glanced at him. The dark circles under this man's eyes were bigger than those when his father was punished to sleep in the study.

"You didn't sleep well? Why?" Xiao Ran was very curious. Was he punished by his elders or driven away by his wife?

Han Yushan laughed and changed the subject, not daring to say anything.

After dinner, the group got on the carriage and headed towards the city gate.

Because it was a private visit, the county magistrate was not alerted. When the people saw that it was the Han family's carriage, they all gave way. With such a big scene, what big thing happened to the Han family?

Lin Dashan also did not sleep all night, and rehearsed over and over in his mind, fearing that he would not perform well and bring suffering to his family.

Lin Xiaomi had something on her mind, so she got up at dawn. The whole family was listless, with dark circles under their eyes. Thinking that she would have to kneel down and work hard all day, she couldn't help but sigh at this evil imperial society.

"Xiaomi, you'll be right next to me in a moment. I'm afraid I'll be too nervous and do the wrong thing."

"Okay, Mom, relax, it's just a kowtow, he can't see you."

"Ai."

That being said, she was still nervous. Common people have a natural fear of officials. She had never even met the county magistrate, and now she had to pay a visit to the marquis... She couldn't think about it, and her legs were shaking...

"Master, we're here, we're here!"

Guan Zhuangtou ran all the way to report the news, sweating all over his forehead.

The family put their clothes in order and walked quickly towards the village gate.

When they arrived, the people in the carriage did not get off. The carriage drove through the gate of the manor and went straight to the entrance of the main courtyard.

This battle...

Lin Dashan, his wife and daughter, followed the carriage in big strides. The whole family was out of breath after going back and forth.

Han Yushan got off the car first, then bowed and invited the marquis to get off.

Well, even the Pingyang County tyrant has been so humble, so just kneel down, she has nothing to feel wronged about.

"I pay my respects to the Marquis!" Lin Dashan knelt down, followed by Wang and Lin Xiaomi. Wang didn't dare to look, and wanted to lower her head to the ground, while Xiaomi wanted to look but couldn't find a chance.

"No need to be polite, just get up."
