Seeing everyone looking at each other, the village head finally made the decision: "Cheng Yue girl is right, moving is a happy event, everyone should go and serve the food, just to share in the good luck!"

Cheng Yue was firm in her attitude, and he could see that since she had left so much food, she must have cooked for everyone.

Since the head of the village had said so, there was no point in continuing the stalemate. Feng went into the kitchen first, and everyone followed.

The big elbows were all whole, and it was really awkward to separate them by poking them with chopsticks, so everyone tacitly agreed not to order the elbows.

Cheng Yue cooked a big pot of braised lion's head soup, and there was quite a bit left, just enough for each family to share.

The chickens were freshly caught from the chicken coop next door. A total of eight chickens were stewed, so there were most leftovers and each person got half a bowl.

They had a little of each of the remaining vegetarian dishes, with compacted white rice at the bottom of their bowls. In the end, everyone went home with two large bowls of rice, and there was a lot of discussion along the way.

"This is what we call a new house. Look at the kitchen. There are three stoves and two small clay ovens!"

"The main thing is that the kitchen is big and bright! It's clean and tidy. It's not like our kitchen where you can only see a little light by burning a fire!"

Not only the windows in the kitchen, but also the windows in the houses are small and made of solid wood boards. They need to be propped up with sticks when in use, otherwise it will be pitch dark in the house.

Today, when I saw Cheng Yue’s new house, I felt incredible. The windows are so big and covered with oil paper. It would be strange if it is not bright!

They are all women who do laundry and cooking every day, and what they care about most is the kitchen. Cheng Yue's kitchen really won their hearts, and they lamented that a morning was not enough.

"Today really opened my eyes! I love everything about that house. If I could live here for just one day in my life, it would be worth it even if I die!"

"Who says it's not true? We didn't dare to think about it before, but now we dare to think about it. If we collect herbs every year, we will be able to build two brick houses in a few years!"

"Yes! There is still hope!"

Everyone became more and more excited as they talked, as if the new house was right in front of them.

"And the food, I've never eaten so well in my life. Actually, we didn't help much except for helping out, Cheng Yue made it all herself, her cooking skills are incredible!"

"Of course not. If you don't have good cooking skills, can you start a food business?"

"Hehe, these two big bowls of food can make for another big meal. If it weren't for the hot weather, I would have kept it for two more days!"

We can only finish it in one meal now, but it would be a bit of a waste to eat it like this. I should wait until the evening to pick some beans and stew them together in a pot, which will be enough for the whole family.

The women were discussing the kitchen and the food, and the men walking in front were also chattering, but what they were interested in was the kang, and when they got excited they couldn't help but foaming at the mouth.

Chen An told them that he and his wife would teach everyone in a few days and try to have everyone build a kang before the weather gets cold!

After everyone left, only Cheng Yue and her family and Taoist Xuan Huai were left in the bridal chamber.

Taoist Xuan Huai had already eaten two pork elbows, eight pork chop heads, four chicken thighs, a plate of tofu, a plate of eggplant and beans, and three bowls of white rice.

The whole family was dumbfounded. How could this master, who looked thin and picky, eat so much? Wouldn't his stomach burst?

The uncles who disliked their children for having big appetites now feel that they were a bit wronged. That’s not called a big appetite. This is what a real big appetite is!

If my own children were such big eaters, I’m afraid the roof of our house would be eaten clean!

Under everyone's shocked gaze, Taoist Xuan Huai finally picked up the soup in front of him and drank it all.

Then he wiped his mouth, spread out his greasy hands and asked, "It's fun! It's really fun! Where can I wash my hands?"

This trip was not in vain, and the talisman paper was not given in vain! It's just that this mustache needs to be shaved, it's in the way! It affects my performance!

Chen An stood up and said, "Master, wash your hands here, follow me!"

After saying that, he took Taoist Xuanhuai to the toilet. Who knows if the master has other problems to solve after eating so much? Maybe he is just embarrassed to say it!

As soon as the two left, Cheng Yue burst out laughing. It turned out that the master was a foodie and a big eater!

Compared to his usual appearance, his character has completely collapsed!

Could it be that all the mysteriousness is just an act?

Wu squeezed next to Cheng Yue and said mysteriously, "My girl, this master looks quite extraordinary. He wears the tattered clothes and eats the most. People say that this is what a hermit master looks like. How did you invite him?"

Cheng Yue: "..." The hermit who eats the most? Who said that?

But it was indeed amazing. She didn't know about other things, but she knew that the fact that he guided Chen An was indeed extraordinary.

But there is no need to say this, lest they start to think too much.

"This was introduced by a friend. Maybe the master saw a liking for us and didn't charge any money because it was an auspicious day. He just said come and have a meal."

Wu was even more surprised when she heard this. "Just eating, not accepting money? It sounds like you are really capable..."

Cheng Yue: “…” How did you hear that?

Seeing Cheng Yue didn't say anything, Wu came over and whispered in her ear: "Girl, your father and I want to ask about Xiaojun's future."

It turns out her mother is waiting here! No wonder she is so attentive!

"Xiao Jun is smart and hardworking. He is a good candidate for studying. He will definitely pass the imperial examination. It doesn't matter whether you ask or not."

Although she did not agree with studying for fame and fortune, she respected and understood it. After all, at this time, everything else was inferior except studying.

Passing the imperial examination is the obsession of scholars, especially her father, who had to give up his studies and had high hopes for Xiaojun.

Wu patted Cheng Yue and said, "You have to watch it, kid. People all depend on fate.

How many people who study hard fail the exams every time? No matter how hard they try, they just can’t pass. This is fate. Anyway, I have to ask, to make myself feel at ease! "

Father Cheng also nodded, and Cheng Yang and Liu looked expectant.

Cheng Yue had no choice but to say, "Then wait until the master comes back and ask him."

In fact, she was a little conflicted. If the master said yes, it would be fine. But if he said no, then what should she do? Should she stop studying?

Just as he was saying this, Taoist Xuan Huai followed Chen An back, stroked his wet beard, and said with his hands behind his back:

"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to me. You don't have to pay, you can exchange it with food. I'm leaving now!"

Seeing that the master was about to leave, Wu became anxious and hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, I want to ask..."

“Don’t forget your original intention, and you will have a bright future.”

Mrs. Wu choked. She hadn't even finished her words. How did the master know what she wanted to ask?

But it sounds like a good thing...

Cheng Yue thought to herself: The master is back again, and he looks familiar again.

"Thank you for your advice, Master. There are two large pork elbows in the kitchen. If you don't mind, you can take them back and eat them."

Taoist Xuan Huai was delighted, "Great! Great pork elbow!"

After saying that, he felt that he was acting too unstable, so he immediately coughed and said, "Consider it as a reward for asking just now!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Master!"

The character has collapsed long ago, why is he still pretending?
