Chapter 88

Suddenly assigned tasks, the group of people hurriedly stood up.

After surveying the surroundings, Yan Qinghe took the most relaxed task: "I forgot to bring food for Heizi, I'll take it to the restaurant to eat some meat bones."

"Woof woof woof!" Heizi excitedly followed him.

Among the remaining people, Xiu Wen consciously went to wash the dishes. Yan Wu chose the broom, and Yan Jiu chose the rag, and they busied themselves with their respective tasks.

At this time, the porters delivering tables and chairs from the restaurant also arrived outside the door.

Hearing the noise, Qi Huan went out.

"Madam, where should we put these tables and chairs?"

"Set them up outside the courtyard."

On the right side of the new house was the house Lu Yueming was building, and on the left was an unsold plot of land.

Qi Huan led the porters to this open space and directed them to arrange the tables and chairs neatly.

In fact, Qi Huan originally didn't want to make it so troublesome and preferred to hold the housewarming banquet directly at the restaurant, which would be more convenient. But it was the custom in Mo County to invite guests over to the new house for a meal, colloquially known as "warming the pot."

Following local customs, she had no choice but to follow the tradition.

On the morning of the sixth day of the seventh month,

As the sky just brightened, the alarm system set up the night before started ringing one after another, waking her up.

"Ding ling ling——"

"Ding ling ling——"

"Host, wake up! Wake up and earn points!"

"Mute!"

After the world fell silent, Qi Huan rubbed her sleepy eyes and put on clothes with a sour expression.

When she was done, she first went outside to count the tables and chairs, and the number was the same as the previous day.

She stroked Heizi's head with relief, knowing that with it around, no thieves would dare to try anything.

In the faint morning light, a bullock cart gradually approached and stopped. Tao Su jumped down happily.

"Miss Qi, I came ahead with the delivery of ingredients, Da and Niu are still on their way behind us."

After saying that, she turned and took out a small package from the cart and quickly untied it.

"Miss Qi, I made you some insoles embroidered with golden ingots. My mother said that embroidering lotuses means wishing for a smooth path where lotuses bloom with each step. So I embroidered golden ingots for you, wishing that you'll earn more wealth with each step!"

But its dear host found it too noisy and mercilessly muted it.

System: ......

After the silence in her mind, Qi Huan stood by Mr. Xu's wooden table. Whenever someone came to offer gifts and blessings, as the host, she inevitably had to exchange a few pleasantries with them.

At the same time, she was also paying attention to the movement at the dining tables.

People kept asking what the noodles were in the meat and noodle dish.

The servants smiled and replied, "This is a new dish our madam has created, called noodles. Do you like the taste? If you want to eat it, you can order this dish at Qi's Restaurant tomorrow. This is our new menu item."

"Great! It's delicious and goes well with rice. I, Da Hu, will definitely come to your restaurant tomorrow to support you!"

"Hey, you see those old ladies, their hands are so fast. I haven't even tasted it, and they've already devoured everything. I shouldn't have sat at their table... Nevermind, respecting the elderly and loving the young, I won't fight with them. I'll go to Qi's Restaurant tomorrow to eat!"

Most of the guests were ordinary folk, and they didn't follow the etiquette of not talking while eating or sleeping. Instead, they discussed and ate at the same time, in a harmonious atmosphere.

Seeing their smiling faces, Qi Huan couldn't help but smile along.

No matter how much money one has, it cannot be taken to the afterlife. But the warmth left behind will be passed on.

For example, she heard that young man called Da Hu give her an unflattering nickname: Qi the Benevolent.

And he called on everyone to spread her story and use it as an exemplar for future generations, encouraging more people to do good deeds.

"Go, go, go, what kind of name is that? It sounds like a middle-aged man with a potbelly. Ah Huan should be called Little Qi Bodhisattva instead!"

The newly arrived Chen Jinyou argued with Da Hu as he approached.

Da Hu disagreed, "Qi the Benevolent sounds better!"

"Little Qi Bodhisattva sounds better!"

Qi Huan stroked her forehead. Could she say anything that didn't sound offensive?

Although having a good reputation was a good thing in ancient times, she didn't want to be known by these two titles.

"Calm down, calm down, peace is most precious. You two, don't argue. Why don't you open your minds a little? Besides Bodhisattvas, what else is there in the heavens?"

Interrupted by her, the two obediently fell into contemplation.

Then, someone from the crowd blurted out: "There are also Buddhas!"

Qi Huan: A beautiful woman at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Qing Cai came to the rescue in time: "There are also many beautiful little fairies in the heavens. Sister Qi Huan is beautiful and kind-hearted, she should be called a fairy!"

"Oh, oh!" The crowd nodded in agreement.

With a sudden realization, Qi Huan proclaimed: "Congratulations to Little Fairy Qi on her new abode!"
