Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 403 The head of the Wang family is in trouble

Marquis Pingle came out to receive the guests in person. The invited guests showed flattered reactions on their faces, no matter what they thought in their hearts.

Among the guests who were filled with excitement, uneasiness, and fear, the head of the Wang family had a sense of superiority as "a group of fools who were sold out and still count the money, but I am the only one who is sane in the world."

The head of the Wang family keeps a low profile and deliberately keeps a low profile, for fear that if something goes wrong, he will become the center of attention.

The guests followed Huo Yunchao and entered the Pinglehou Mansion from the main gate. What they saw was the exquisite landscape, with mountains, water, and koi carps. There were also lotus flowers transplanted into the pond. The lotus leaves were very nice and clear. There are six koi carps swimming in the bottomed pond, which means six and six great fortunes.

The six-tailed koi in the pond was specially brought home by Huo Yunchao from the most famous local temple.

It is worth mentioning that when Little Fubao came back to Pinglehou Mansion for the first time, his favorite thing was to lie down by the lotus pond and watch the six-tailed koi, and he often threw fish food into the lotus pond.

Lotus is not a species specially used for landscaping, but a high-yielding species that can grow lotus roots and outstanding lotus pods.

Huo Yunchao doesn't have much hobbies, he just likes farming. Lotus flowers are not only for viewing, but also for eating. This meets the needs of the Xu family.

Butcher Xu and Xu Ning also thought so, otherwise it would be a waste to just display such a large pool.

Huo Yunchao led the guests into the Hou Mansion. He introduced the scenery of the Hou Mansion to the guests with a proud look on his face. When he talked about the excitement, his face lit up with joy, just like ordinary people.

The head of the Li family and others like Huo Yunchao's approachable way of treating guests. They don't need to put on so many bells and whistles, and can shorten the distance between them with just a few simple words.

Zheng Shaoxuan temporarily took over the duties of the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. He ordered his servants to bring tea and water to the guests in a timely manner, as well as delicious pastries, dried fruits and preserved meats that had been made several days in advance.

The guests listened to Huo Yunchao's eloquent introduction, ate the extremely delicious pastries and preserved meat, and wondered what Huo Yunchao's purpose was in inviting them to such a big battle.

Huo Yun Chaoquan should not be able to see the probing eyes of the guests. He must show off to everyone the incredible wealth that Emperor Yong'an bestowed upon him, and let these people know that he is truly the emperor's new favorite!

In fact, Huo Yunchao does not need to deliberately mention the many honors and rewards he received from Pinglehou. Who can really come to Pinglehou's house to participate in the housewarming banquet? Who is not a man with as many eyes as a sieve?

Huo Yunchao must be asking for something by sending out invitations in such a big way, and what he wants must be real money.

The head of the Wang family felt like a bright mirror in his heart. The cowhide that Huo Yunchao was blowing went in and out of his left ear. He only looked at the candy plate. The dried meat on the plate caught his attention. He took a small bite and narrowed his eyes - this dried meat. So delicious!

Glancing around, the head of the Wang family made sure that no one was watching him. He picked out all the dried meat from the candy plate and put it into his trouser pocket.

He patted his bulging trouser pockets, curved the corners of his mouth, and for the next second he was stunned.

Just because, a round meat ball came to the front of the Wang family leader, patted his trouser pocket with a serious look and said: "Meat!"

"Miss!"

Before the Wang family leader could respond, Qiu Yun rushed over in a hurry and hugged the little Fubao who was still holding on to the Wang family leader's trouser pocket.

Little Fu Bao stared at the head of the Wang family with her big black eyes. She wanted to say that her mother had taught her not to eat alone, but she struggled to say: "You can't eat alone."

For a moment, the whole place fell into deathly silence.

The head of the Wang family was only thinking about hiding quietly in the crowd, but he never thought that his love for petty gains would break out and he would be caught by the eldest daughter of Pinglehou!

Under the strange gazes of everyone, the head of the Wang family felt unprecedentedly ashamed. He was so ashamed that his face turned red and his ears were red, and he could not lift his head.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yunchao said: "What is this guest's name?"

Chen Yuanlang molested Mrs. Hou in the street, but was brutally beaten and kidnapped. The head of the Wang family had ridiculed the head of the Chen family many times, openly and secretly, saying that the head of the Chen family spoke of benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact allowed his own grandson to become a disciple.

New grudges and old grudges welled up in his heart. Seeing that no one said anything, the master of the Chen family was happy to add insult to injury: "Master Marquis, his name is Wang Mancang, and he is the most powerful grain merchant among us!"

Huo Yunchao couldn't help but look at the head of the Wang family a few more times, and said with a smile: "Boss Wang is worthy of his name. Although I saw the true face of Boss Wang for the first time today, I have admired the name of Boss Wang for a long time. Thanks to Boss Wang a few days ago. The five hundred kilograms of grain donated free of charge helped my father-in-law solve the urgent problem of food shortage. Changxing, send ten kilograms of dried meat to Boss Wang. Thank you to Boss Wang for your generous help! "

The head of the Wang family was stunned on the spot. He was mentally prepared to become the laughing stock of everyone. After all, he was often criticized for his love of petty gains.

He originally thought that Huo Yunchao would take the opportunity to ridicule him, but he never thought that instead of being evil, he would actually acknowledge his contribution to the construction of the river embankment in public.

As soon as he finished speaking, Butcher Xu walked over with big steps. The two brothers patted the head of the Wang family kindly on the shoulders and said: "Boss Wang, the food you sent is a big help! I am busy supervising the work and can't spare the time to visit you." I’m visiting home, let’s have a couple of drinks today.”

The head of the Wang family nodded dazedly.

The playful look that used to be about eating melons and watching a show turned into envy, jealousy and hatred.

Speaking of this, Huo Yunchao not only praised the Wang family, but also praised the Li family who opened the embroidery workshop, the Huang family who opened the medical center, and all the merchants big and small who contributed money and effort.

Calling his name and praising him in public was not enough, so Huo Yunchao greeted everyone to sit down with a smile and motioned for them to take a look at the contents of the candy plate: "Everyone, have a try. These are all the delicacies I thought up."

The head of the Wang family subconsciously touched his bulging trouser pocket, turned around and saw the servant bringing a new candy dish, which was filled to the brim.

In front of the people at the same table, the head of the Wang family opened the dried meat wrapped in glutinous rice paper, tasted it carefully, broke the jar and said: "The dried meat made by Mr. Hou has a unique taste, bright color, sprinkled with sesame seeds, It was delicious at first sight. I couldn't stop eating it, and I was thinking about my old mother at home, so I wanted to sneak some dried meat for her to try. Wang made everyone laugh."

Huo Yunchao did not expect that the head of the Wang family would find a reason to defend himself so quickly. He said with a smile: "Boss Wang loves to eat dried meat. I will give you another ten kilograms at my discretion! Not only is the dried meat delicious, but the hawthorn slices and glutinous rice sticks are also delicious." That’s right. Don’t be stunned, everyone, try them one by one. If there are any that you particularly like, I will have my servants dress them up and give them to you as gifts in return.”

The head of the Wang family knew how to seize the opportunity. He stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward!"

Huo Yunchao waved his hand with a smile and continued to greet the guests to taste delicious pre-dinner snacks.
