Chapter 83 Distinguished Guests Arrive to Offer Congratulations

Doctor Chu walked into the courtyard with gifts, his face beaming with a sincere smile.

"Master, congratulations on the raising of the roof beam of your new house!"

Doctor Chu cupped his hands in greeting.

Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:

"Dr. Chu, it's so good to have you here. Please come in."

Doctor Chu followed Lu Qingqing into the courtyard and said:

"Master, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."

He handed the gift to Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing accepted the gift and said:

"Thank you, Dr. Chu."

Everyone saw how respectfully Doctor Chu treated Lu Qingqing.

They couldn't help but be surprised and envious.

Just then, the magistrate's carriage stopped at the gate.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

The carriage curtain was lifted,

The county magistrate, supported by his attendants, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully:

“Your Excellency, your presence is an honor to my humble abode.”

The magistrate smiled slightly and said:

Today is the auspicious day for the raising of the roof beam of your new house.

"As the magistrate of this county, I naturally must come to offer my congratulations."

The village chief also rushed over, his face beaming with smiles:

"It is an honor for our entire village that the magistrate has come in person."

The crowd gathered around and bowed to the magistrate.

The magistrate waved his hand, indicating that everyone needed not to be so polite.

Then, led by Lu Qingqing and the others, they entered the courtyard.

Before they had taken two steps,

Another carriage stopped at the door.

Mr. Quan, the owner of Fuhai Restaurant, also came with gifts.

They also prepared some delicious dishes to add to everyone's meal.

The boss, beaming, cupped his hands and said:

"Congratulations, Madam Lu, and Young Master Lin!"

I heard that your esteemed family is raising the roof beam of your new house today, so I have come to offer my congratulations!

Lu Qingqing quickly responded:

"Boss Quan, you're too kind. Please come inside."

The boss waved his hand.

The waiters behind him then presented the delicious dishes they had brought one by one.

"This is the signature dish of my Fuhai Restaurant, just to bring good luck to everyone."

"Boss Quan said with a smile."

Everyone looked at the exquisite dishes.

They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Lu Qingqing said gratefully:

"Boss Quan, we appreciate your kind gesture."

Lin Yunlan also cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Boss Quan."

Everyone looked at it,

Several important figures have come to Lu Qingqing's house today.

They immediately and tactfully rearranged the table for their distinguished guest.

The table was quickly set up.

A brand new tablecloth has been laid out.

Exquisite bowls and chopsticks, along with delicacies brought by the owner, were laid out.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan greeted them from the side:

"Magistrate, Doctor Chu, Boss Quan, please have a seat."

The magistrate took his seat first and said with a smile:

"There's no need for everyone to be so polite."

Today is a joyous occasion, so please relax and enjoy yourself.

Doctor Chu and Boss Quan also sat down in turn.

The village chief and Lin Qingshan were also seated at this table.

The village chief was somewhat flattered and said reservedly:

"It is truly an honor for me to sit with you all."

Lu Qingqing smiled and comforted her:

"Village chief, please don't say that."

You've always taken good care of us; our village is very fortunate to have your leadership.

Lin Qingshan also chimed in:

"Yes, village chief, please sit down comfortably."

Everyone started eating, chatting and eating in a harmonious atmosphere.

The magistrate picked up a bite of food and nodded in approval:

"This dish tastes good; it must have taken a lot of effort to prepare it."

Boss Quan replied with a smile:

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Doctor Chu also said:

"Today is truly lively. My master's family will surely be blessed with great fortune in the future."

The villagers at the next table looked at the three important figures at this table.

He immediately felt respect for Lu Qingqing.

I've made up my mind that I must get along well with her from now on.

Sister Liu whispered to the person next to her:

"I never expected Qingqing to be so capable, to be able to get to know such important people."

Aunt Wang nodded in agreement:

"We should try to curry favor with her more in the future; we might be able to benefit from it."

Brother Li said:

"Look at what you're saying. Even if you don't benefit from it..."

Neighbors should also get along well.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

His eyes kept glancing towards Lu Qingqing's table.

She secretly planned how to visit Lu Qingqing's family more often in the future.

During the meal, someone brought up the topic of second-crop rice.

"The second crop of rice is growing well and will be ready for harvest soon."

One of them said.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate immediately asked:

"Second crop of rice? What does that mean?"

The village chief happily told the county magistrate:

"My lord, this is something we need to talk about properly."

Previously, our village grew rice, and there was only one crop a year.

The harvest was just so-so.

But Lu Qingqing is a girl with her own ideas.

I'll teach you how to harvest the first crop of rice.

Fertilize and irrigate again.

The process of allowing new rice ears to grow in the paddy field is called second-crop rice.

At first, everyone was skeptical.

Ke Qingqing explained the method very clearly.

He even went to the fields himself to demonstrate.

Look how well the second crop of rice is growing now!

This year, our village can harvest two crops a year, which is double the yield of previous years!

The magistrate's eyes lit up with delight upon hearing this.

He said excitedly:

"Such a good thing! I have to go and see."

Lu Qingqing quickly replied:

"Sir, you can go anytime."

The village chief also chimed in:

"Yes, sir, let's go see now."

The rice paddies were a beautiful, lush green.

The magistrate immediately stood up:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"

Everyone got up and went to the rice paddies together.

along the way,

The county magistrate kept asking Lu Qingqing about the details of the second crop of rice.

When they arrived at the edge of the rice paddies,

Looking at the thriving second crop of rice...

The county magistrate couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Wonderful, wonderful! Mrs. Lu,"

If your method could be promoted throughout the county, it would be a great benefit to the people!

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"I'll be content as long as I can help everyone."

The county magistrate nodded, his eyes full of admiration for Lu Qingqing.

The county magistrate gazed at the lush green rice paddies.

He said excitedly:

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly!"

Village chief, you must protect the village's fields.

Absolutely no mistakes can be made.

If you do this well, the county will appoint you as acting magistrate.

Moreover, I must report this matter to the Emperor.

"You will surely receive the Emperor's reward!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief was so excited he almost knelt down on the spot.

He said in a trembling voice:

"Thank you very much, Magistrate! I will certainly do my utmost."

Protect these rice paddies, and live up to the expectations of our parents!

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan also looked delighted.

The magistrate then looked at Lu Qingqing and said:

"Madam Lu, you have done a great service."

The county will certainly report this truthfully.

Lu Qingqing curtsied and said:

"It is my honor to be able to work for the well-being of the people."

The county magistrate looked at Lu Qingqing, who remained calm and composed, and was filled with admiration.

He couldn't help but speak again:

"Madam Lu, you are so calm and intelligent."

It is truly rare to find someone who cares so much about the people.

If you were a man, this county would certainly recommend you for an official position in the imperial court to benefit the people.”

Lu Qingqing bowed slightly and said:

"You flatter me, sir."

This humble woman has only done her small part.

To be appreciated by an adult is already a great honor.

The magistrate stroked his beard and nodded, saying:

"Good, good! When this second crop of rice is harvested..."

You must be properly commended.
