Time quickly came and it was three days later.

The strawberry banquet was ready, and the Su family opened the gate of the manor to welcome the guests.

The first to arrive were Bai Youyou and her daughter. Su Ma and Su Weixi greeted them at the gate.

"Oh, Sister Lin, why do you have to wait for us here? Our families are very familiar with each other, and you are still so polite." After Mrs. Bai got off the car and stopped, she walked forward and greeted Su Ma enthusiastically.

"Look at what my sister said. It is precisely because our families have a good relationship that I am waiting for you here so that we can meet earlier." Su Ma replied politely.

"Your family's feng shui is really good. Not only did it save my son-in-law's life, but my girl also got pregnant in your house. Your family is really a blessed place." Mrs. Bai said with emotion.

"It's not as exaggerated as my sister said. This is all fate."

The two mothers were chatting affectionately over there.

After Bai Youyou and Su Weixi paid their respects to the two elders respectively, Bai Youyou couldn't wait to pull Su Weixi aside to talk in private.

"Huh, today I can finally go out. Xixi, you don't know, after I went back, my mother sent people to watch me every day, not letting me go out, not letting me do this, not letting me do that. Shen Jingzhou, that bastard, aided the tyrant and did everything my mother and the maids said."

Bai Youyou complained bitterly to Su Weixi.

"You, you don't even know how lucky you are. This is all for your own good." Su Weixi teased.

"Wow, Xixi, you are on their side too. I'm sad. I need lots of delicious food to stop my tears." Bai Youyou said mischievously.

"Okay, today I made several desserts that you have never seen before. I guarantee you will be satisfied." Su Weixi immediately used his gourmet magic.

It really works every time. Bai Youyou's attention immediately shifted to today's food.

Not long after Bai Youyou and her daughter arrived, other ladies also arrived one after another.

Almost all the prominent families in the border town came to the Su family's banquet.

There was no way. Apart from the fact that Su's father was currently a capable general in front of the Duke of Zhenguo, and after the publicity from the family to whom the Su family had given gifts, and the fact that the post said that today's banquet was a strawberry banquet, everyone was very curious.

Su Ma sat at the top, and both sides were filled with ladies from various families.

Su Ma raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "Everyone."

Su Ma's voice rang out, and everyone present looked towards her.

"My family has been in the border town for nearly a year, and this is the first time we have held a banquet. Thank you all for your presence. If the hospitality is not good enough, please forgive me. In order to make everyone more comfortable, today's banquet will be in the form of a buffet. Please look to the left."

Everyone looked to the left, and the servants removed a few screens, revealing a variety of desserts and food.

Then a pretty and eloquent maid came forward to explain to the ladies what a buffet was.

Everyone originally thought that the Su family came from a peasant background and were probably ignorant, so the banquet they held would probably not be anything worthy of the name.

Who would have thought that there were so many novel things at the banquet that amazed everyone.

What is a buffet?

There are more than a dozen kinds of strawberry desserts, including strawberry egg tart, strawberry cake, strawberry milk tea, strawberry mille-feuille, strawberry hug roll, strawberry cream muffin roll, strawberry snow meringue, strawberry towel roll, etc., which dazzled everyone.

With the exquisitely decorated flowers and plants in the yard, it has a unique charm.

After the maid finished her introduction, Su Ma took the lead and picked up a plate and started picking up the things she liked.

Following closely behind were Madam Bai and Bai Youyou.

The others were a little confused at first, and even felt that the Su family was not hospitable enough.

But seeing that the prefect's wife was helping herself, and unable to resist the temptation of the pink desserts on the table, they came forward one after another to pick up the food they were curious about.

No one has to worry about not knowing what the food is because there are notes with the name and taste written on them. At the very least, there are people waiting to explain.

It was a novel way of eating and the food was unique. Everyone took a little bit and in the end the plate was already full.

Some ladies were a little embarrassed at first, but when they looked up and saw that they were not the only ones feeling the same, they also saw that others were feeling the same, so they took the food back to their seats without hesitation.

For a moment, there wasn't much chatting, until I heard someone talking.

"Aunt, your strawberries are so delicious. Please bring some back to me when the time comes." Bai Youyou said coquettishly to Su Ma.

"Don't worry, you won't be left out." Su Ma looked at the people who were looking at her and continued, "I will prepare some strawberries and strawberry-based food for all the ladies later. You can take them back home and let the elderly and children at home taste them."

Everyone was delighted to hear this, and the ladies who had just been regretting that their families could not eat such delicious food all thanked Su Ma.

These ladies didn't have big appetites, and soon everyone put down their forks or chopsticks.

Because it was difficult to arrange a theatre troupe in Zhuangzi, Su Ma and Su Weixi arranged a lot of entertainment activities for everyone.

That must include the national quintessence that the Chinese people loved in the past.

Games such as mahjong, poker, gobang, Monopoly, etc. are all arranged, and there are people to explain them.

Su Ma felt that after this banquet, she would no longer worry about not having a mahjong partner.

Before, she had played with the maids in the mansion, and they were all very cautious. After changing groups, although they all learned how to play, no one dared to win, and Su Ma felt that it was meaningless.

The highlight of the party was taking the ladies to pick strawberries.

Because the Su family had already noted when they sent out the invitations that picking strawberries at the strawberry garden might dirty shoes or clothes, the ladies had prepared some spare clothes.

This was the first time for many ladies and young ladies to pick things in the fields themselves, and they all felt a little restrained.

But later, when they saw the juicy strawberries, they lost their previous restraint and went into the strawberry garden to pick strawberries.

"Miss Su, this strawberry party at your house is really interesting. It's nothing like the parties we attended before, which were so boring." The one who said this was the daughter of the Tongpan family.

"Yes, it's a pity that we don't have a strawberry garden at home, otherwise I would pick strawberries myself every day." said another young lady from a military general's family.

"Hahaha, then you can keep my little sister company. She likes to go to the strawberry garden every day." Su Weixi thought of his little sister.

Because of the Su family's novel banquet, many young ladies gathered around Su Weixi and talked about her.

Su Weixi also answered them politely one by one. After an afternoon, many young ladies especially liked Miss Su, who seldom appeared at banquets.

They also agreed to send each other messages and go out for tea in the future, and Su Weixi naturally agreed.

Su Ma's side was also lively, under the guidance of Mrs. Bai.

All the ladies know that the Su family only grows one acre of strawberries, which is not a lot. If everyone likes it, the Su family can sell strawberry seedlings to everyone and provide planting methods.

Almost every lady placed an order on the spot, and some ladies who were familiar with Su Ma even asked about the recipes of several desserts at the banquet.

Su Ma said generously that when the letter is finished, it will be sent to everyone’s home together with the strawberry seedlings.

Towards evening, the Su family's strawberry garden was successfully completed.

Su Ma and Su Weixi saw everyone off at the door.

Each lady left happily, carrying a basket of strawberries they had picked themselves and some strawberry snacks prepared by the Su family.

"Brother An'an, sister Ningning, next time you come to my house, I'll show you the rabbits I raise."

"No, brother An'an and sister Ningning, please come to my house. I have a pony at home."

"Okay, then we'll go to every family."

An An and Ning Ning also made a few friends today, and they are now saying goodbye reluctantly at the door.

After sending everyone away, everyone in the Su family was exhausted.

Su Ma immediately announced that the monthly salary of everyone who helped at the farm today would be doubled.

The servants cleaned up the mess with great motivation, and Su Ma, Su Weixi and others went back to their rooms to rest.
