Chapter 158: Chapter 122: Achieved! Covering the Sky with a Single Hand (nearly 6ooo)_2

Of course, during the forty-three years when Wang Shouxin was alive, the Wang family did not have the power or the status to host a “Celebration Feast”.

Every time the autumn and winter hunts were held, the Wang family often went discreetly, returning quietly.

Back when Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan was alive, when the harvests were goods, he would host a Celebration Feast.

These words spoken,

A few older clansmen immediately showed a strong expectation in their eyes. The Wang family had fallen from grace for fifty years and now that they have finally turned things around, they wanted to boost their honor and influence in their territory.

“Alright,” Wang Shouzhe pondered briefly and said, “I remember we have five or six ordinary savage bulls and wild warthogs left. Take one of each, pickle the rest and store them in the cold storage. Also, take out some of the meat from the family’s storage to be used for the Celebration Feast. This will also help clear some space in the storage.”

“Also, set up a few porridge stalls as there may not be enough meat for everyone since we have so many people.”

“As for the low-priced sale of the Fierce Beast’s meat, use that Level One high blue hoofed savage bull. That one alone weighs about three thousand jin, which should be more than enough. Be sure to warn those inferior families, if they dare to sell the cheap Spirit Meat to Peddlers, don’t blame the Wang family for being merciless.”

The family’s food storage was not small, but this time the harvest was too astonishing. It seemed as if the cold storage would not be enough.

Moreover, it was estimated that even with so the many members of the Wang family openly eating, it could last for a good two years.

“Good.” Wang Shouxin was extremely excited, and immediately set off to arrange the Celebration Feast as per the agreement.

When the public populace and some of the local low-tier Profound Martial families found out that the Wang family was preparing to host a Celebration Feast with an unusually large amount of ingredients, everyone was immediately abuzz with excitement.

In the past decades, the Liu Clan and Zhao Clan have taken turns to host the Celebration Feast. But the scale of their feasts were very small, not even a tenth of what the Wang family was holding this time. They were merely putting on a show, claiming to be the “Top Prominent Families” of Ping’an Town.

Hosting a Celebration Feast did not necessarily need the Clan Leader, Wang Shouzhe, to step in. His brothers and sisters, along with womenfolk of the family, were more than capable of handling it.

At this time, Wang Shouzhe, along with Liu Ruolei and Liu Yuanrui, returned to the main residence and went to visit Old Ancestor Zhisheng without delay.

Of course, Old Ancestor Longyan and Old Ancestor Xiaohan accompanied them as well.

This was a necessary courtesy, as Old Ancestor Zhisheng had rushed to help defend the Wang family’s main residence without hesitation when they received the news.

The favor he did for them was not trivial.

After some polite talk and formalities, Old Ancestor Zhisheng finally retired.

Naturally, Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t let Old Ancestor Zhisheng work for free. A carriage of Spirit Meat and Spirit Rice would be delivered directly to the residence of the Yinyu Family in Shanyin soon after.

After handling all the matters,

Wang Shouzhe finally felt completely relieved and relaxed. It was as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

He then took a long, comfortable bath, instructed Wang Gui not to let anyone disturb him, and lied in bed for an entire day and night, not worrying about a thing.

During this period, dealing with both the Liu Clan and Zhao Clan was tiresome indeed. The most important thing was he couldn’t afford to make even a slight mistake.

But now, he was truly relaxed.

The Wang family’s Celebration Feast was extremely lively, as if it were the most festive celebration in all of Ping’an Town.

Almost everyone was talking enthusiastically about only one topic – the Ping’an Wang Family.

The other two prominent families in Ping’an Town, the Ping’an Liu Clan and the Ping’an Zhao Clan, seemed to have been forgotten in the corner, and no one was mentioning them any more.

It was as if there was only one prominent family in the large Ping’an Town — the Ping’an Wang family.

At this time,

A carriage bearing the insignia of the Daqian Officials quietly pulled up in front of the main residence of the Wang family.

The first to get off, was a middle-aged man in an imposing town defender’s uniform, who was naturally Town Defender, Lei Yangqiu.

Then, two seventy or eighty-year-old men shakily stepped out of the carriage.

There was still a bustling crowd in the square in front of the Wang family’s main residence. Some were lining up for porridge and meat, and others were low-tier local Profound Martial families who were using their hard-earned Qian Gold to buy low-priced Spirit Meat.

This was an opportunity most normal people would not want to miss.

However, the Wang family was always clear about who could buy and how much they could purchase based on their quota.

And the residents enjoying the Celebration Feast with porridge and meat also had to have local household certificates and had to register so that they would not eat over and over again.

Anyone who dared to act recklessly would face the dealing hand of the Wang family.

But even with such strict control, there were still numerous people lining up, even three days later.

“Huh, the Wang family is really on the rise.” Town Defender Lei Yangqiu praised with a smile before addressing Wang Luoqiu who was distributing meat, “Little Sister Luoqiu, surely you still remember me?”

Wang Luoqiu glanced at him as her hands continued to move briskly, dividing meat and porridge, her voice nonchalant, “Yes, I remember you, the one who was scolded to tears by my fourth brother…. your surname was Lei or something….”

Lei Yangqiu’s face fell. He thought to himself when he had ever been scolded to the point of crying.

Of course, he wouldn’t argue with a little girl. So, Lei Yangqiu laughed dryly and said, “Ah, let bygones be bygones. By the way, is your fourth elder brother around? I would like to see him. Miss Luoqiu, could you please pass the message for me?”

“Can’t you see that I’m busy?” Wang Luoqiu replied impatiently. She then called out to an attendant, “Junyan, go find Wang Gui and tell my fourth older brother that there’s a guy named Lei or something looking for him. Oh right, he’s the Town Defender.”

“Yes, Sixth Miss.” Ouyang Junyan shrunk his neck and quickly ran off to deliver the message.
