Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 377: Have you found a cook?

Upon hearing this, Xia Zixuan responded, "Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Chu to help entertain everyone."

"It's not a trouble. Your sister Xinyao told you to go and play when you are free." Chu Qingchuan repeated his wife's words.

"Okay, then take care." Xia Zixuan waved her hand.

After watching the guard of honor leave, Xia Zixuan turned around and saw that everyone in the village was looking at her with sparkling eyes.

"Grandpa Village Chief, Grandma Village Chief, and Auntie Village Chief, would you like to come to my house for a cup of tea?" Xia Zixuan came to the village chief.

The village chief waved his hand and said, "No need, we will be back soon. County Lord! Can this imperial edict be placed in the ancestral hall?"

Xia Zixuan frowned when she heard her address and asked, "Is the village chief unfamiliar with me?"

"No, no, isn't this the title bestowed upon you by the emperor?" said the village chief with a smile.

"That's for outsiders. I still like you to call me by my name." Xia Zixuan said with a smile on her face.

"Okay, we get it."

"Well, the imperial edict that the village chief mentioned should be placed in the ancestral hall?" Xia Zixuan asked with some confusion.

"You are the first woman in the history of our village to have both a title and a fief. I want to put it in the ancestral hall for our ancestors to see and to encourage future generations." The village chief said with a hint of pride.

"Okay, then take it, Village Chief!" Xia Zixuan handed the imperial edict to the village chief.

The village chief took it carefully with both hands and assured: "Don't worry! I will have someone take good care of it and it won't be damaged in the slightest."

At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Village Chief, are we going to have a buffet for a few days this time?"

"Yes! Yes! Let us also share in the joy."

"That's right. Our village finally has a county lady. We should hold a buffet."

The village chief nodded and said, "I'll go back and calculate how much money is left on the account, and then..."

He was interrupted by Xia Zixuan before he could finish his words, "Grandpa Village Chief, let me host this buffet! Keep the money in the account! You never know when you'll need it for something urgent."

Upon hearing this, the village chief said, "Then the village should also contribute some money. This is also a happy event for our village."

The village chief thought of what his wife had said, and he warned the crowd again: "In the future, when you go out, don't do evil in the name of the county lord, or accept benefits from others without reason. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the village if you are found out."

Everyone responded after hearing this: "Don't worry, Village Chief! We are not that kind of people."

"Yes, village chief, don't you know us yet? Besides, we also know the difference between a village with a county master and one without one."

"That's right. We won't be stupid enough to cause trouble for the county lady and ourselves."

Xia Zixuan was very moved when she heard what everyone said. She said, "Thank you, everyone. Starting tomorrow, you don't have to cook. We will have three meals a day for three days to ensure that everyone can have enough to eat."

"Okay, thank you, County Master Hui'an."

"Princess Hui'an is so kind."

"Yes! I didn't expect that even after becoming a county lord, she is still so kind."

The village chief looked at the noisy people and interrupted them, saying, "Okay, all of you go back and do what you need to do. Don't stay here."

"Okay, let's all go back! The county lady just received the imperial edict, so she must have other things to do."

"Let's go, let's wait for the buffet tomorrow."

After everyone left, only the village head's family and the Liu family were left. Liu Fugui and Wang came to Xia Zixuan and said, "County... Er Xuan girl, you can take half of this silver!"

They originally wanted to call her the County Princess, but were stopped by Xia Zixuan's eyes.

"Uncle, aunt, this silver is a reward given to you by the emperor. I can't accept it." Xia Zixuan said with a smile.

"But this is what you got from leading us to grow wheat. Otherwise, the emperor would never know about people like us." Liu Fugui said.

"Yes, girl Xuan, just take half!" Wang advised.

"Uncle, aunt, I said I won't accept it. This is what you deserve, so please accept it! Otherwise, if the emperor finds out that you don't accept it, it will be a serious crime." Seeing that they still wanted to insist on sharing it with her, Xia Zixuan could only scare them.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the two of them no longer insisted on giving it to her, but they still decided in their hearts to go to the town to buy some things and send them over.

The village chief handed the imperial edict to his son and turned to Xia Zixuan and said, "Xuan girl, have you found a chef for your three-day buffet?"

Xia Zixuan shook her head and said, "Not yet, but I plan to invite the chef from the town's Pinxian Pavilion to cook, and let our villagers taste the food in the restaurant."
