Soon the day of the full moon banquet arrived. The village was filled with peace and tranquility. This time, Shen Ping didn't need to ask anyone, as everyone spontaneously carried the round table to the Shen family.

Because Shen Ping invited all the villagers, without exception. With the experience of the last time, there was no need to make arrangements this time, and everyone just did their job.

Shen Ping had already asked Dadong to bring the servants to build the temporary kitchen two days in advance, and the materials had already been moved to the kitchen. This time, Shen Ping also handed over the kitchen to her eldest sister-in-law Xie to take full charge.

The kitchen returned to its original team, with Niu and her family in charge of cooking. However, this time it was different, as many villagers volunteered to do the work.

Some women spontaneously picked vegetables, and the men cut meat. Everyone got involved and found work to do, just like the people in the countryside holding a wedding banquet.

Last time we attended the banquet at someone's house, everyone just came there to watch the fun and eat and drink for free. But this time is different, everyone is there sincerely.

If it weren't for Shen Ping, they might have to flee by now. People from all over the place would envy them, the people in the mountain village, who could earn wages in their own village, earn money every day, and enjoy the shade under the big tree of Shen Ping.

The villagers have gone from being jealous of Shen Ping in the beginning to hoping that Shen Ping's business will do well. After all, if Shen Ping does well, everyone will be better off.

Wu Da had changed into new clothes early in the morning and was sitting in the main room happily drinking tea. Because he was worried about his fields being left unattended, Wu Da came here alone with his two grandsons.

The grandson is six years old and the granddaughter is eight years old. Not long after they arrived, they started playing with Liu Ya and the others. Now there is no need to watch them and they can play by themselves. Wu Da has really had some free time these two days.

Occasionally he would walk around in the garden, chat with his daughter, play with his grandson, and sometimes say a few words to Shen Ping's mother, Tong.

As for what they talked about, they just chatted about the crops in the fields and exchanged experiences. Shen Ping and Mrs. Wu smiled knowingly when they saw it. Although the two old people were free, Ke Xin was still busy.

When I was not able to come, I always wanted to come, but when I came, I was worried about the crops in the fields. Seeing that they could go back after drinking today's full moon banquet, Tong and Wu were happy all morning.

By noon, the guests that Shen Ping had invited had arrived one by one, including Shopkeeper Shi, Shopkeeper Qiu, Doctor Yan and others, and of course, County Magistrate Xu.

Of course there is also Master Mo, and also Shopkeeper Feng, as well as the two shopkeepers of the Rouge Shop branches, Dahe and He Fu.

The first to arrive were Doctor Yan and Shopkeeper Feng. Shen Ping also noticed a small detail: they both came in the same carriage this time.

When getting off the carriage, Doctor Yan was the first to get off, followed by Shopkeeper Feng. Doctor Yan even stretched out his hand and asked Shopkeeper Feng to help him get off the carriage.

When Shopkeeper Feng saw the four large houses in front of him, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He never realized that Madam Shen's family was so wealthy.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Feng was so focused on what was in front of him that he forgot about his feet and stumbled, Doctor Yan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he quickly reached out to support him.

He whispered, "You! Be careful, watch your step." His expression was like that of a young man in love. Shopkeeper Feng was so scared that he patted his chest. Upon hearing Doctor Yan's instructions, he smiled and looked shy.

Seeing this, Shen Ping also understood, and smiled knowingly, saying meaningfully: "It's good that you two came together, saving a carriage."

The two also understood the hidden meaning of Shen Ping's words, and their faces turned red. Shopkeeper Feng even lowered his head in shame. Doctor Yan saluted with both hands and said, "Congratulations, Madam Shen! Another grandson has been born."

At this moment, Shen Ping suddenly wanted to play a naughty joke on the two of them. She leaned over and whispered a few words in Shopkeeper Feng's ear, which immediately made Shopkeeper Feng blush with embarrassment.

Seeing the look on Shopkeeper Feng's face, Shen Ping decided to stop and invited the two of them in for tea. Madam Feng hurried away as if she had been pardoned.

Seeing Madam Feng's strange movements, Doctor Yan asked curiously, "Fengju, what did Madam Shen say just now?"

Madam Feng's face, which had just cooled down, became hot again when she heard Manager Yan's question. She said coquettishly, "Don't ask about what women talk about."

But thinking back to what Shen Ping had just said, she actually had some expectations. Shen Ping asked her to try hard and have a baby with Doctor Yan, but she was nearly 40 years old, and Doctor Yan was over 50 years old, how could she still have a baby?

Then, Master Mo and Manager Qiu also arrived one after another. Shen Ping exchanged some pleasantries and then asked the servants to take Manager Qiu over for tea.

As for Wuchun and Xu Hao, they also came back with Master Mo and his wife. Shen Ping exchanged a few polite words with Master Mo and then let Mo Ru take them into the main hall for a good chat.

Lian also knew that her daughter and Xu Hao had not seen each other for a long time, so she said that Mo Ruo should talk for a while, then she left with an excuse to let the young couple have a good chat.

Shopkeeper Shi, Daha and He Fu also arrived. Daha and He Fu hadn't been seen for a while and they had gained weight. Their size was almost as big as Shopkeeper Shi's.

Since this was her business partner, Shen Ping greeted him warmly and after a few polite words asked the Cuihong sisters to welcome them in.

At this time, another carriage arrived, and this time there was an uninvited guest. No one knew how Mr. Liu had heard of this, but he actually came uninvited with his third concubine.

Because she knew that Steward Shi and Shi San'er were somewhat familiar with Shen Ping, she also brought them along. They were all guests, and they came with gifts, so Shen Ping had no reason to turn them away, so she politely welcomed them in.

Shen Ping had also met Mr. Liu once, when the braised pork shop opened last time and he was there to congratulate them.

Seeing Shen Ping, the shopkeeper Liu smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "Madam Shen, I know your grandson is celebrating his first month today, so I came to congratulate you and bring you some small gifts. Please accept them."

After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he waved his hand and Steward Shi handed over the gift. Shen Ping nodded and Hong Gu took it.

Shen Ping smiled politely and said, "Mr. Liu, you are so polite. You are here just for show. Why do you need a gift? Thank you so much."

The third concubine Liang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Madam Shen looks much younger now. Now she has a grandson who is so handsome. I will ask you for the secret recipe for beauty later."

Although the name was flattering, Shen Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "No way, how can you be as beautiful as you, Third Auntie? Not only beautiful, but also lucky for your husband. Mr. Liu's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it's all thanks to you."

This time, the Third Concubine was really laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Not only did Shen Ping praise her for her beauty and her good luck to her husband, but even Mr. Liu was pleased to hear it.

Because a fortune teller once told him that the third concubine, Liang, would bring him good luck, so he liked to take Liang with him wherever he went.

Shen Ping invited all the guests to sit down in the main hall one by one. This time was different from the last time, he did not separate the guests.

Anyway, they were all guests, and they were all businessmen, and they were all friends of Shen Ping, so Shen Ping introduced them to each other.

Now, all the guests have arrived, but County Magistrate Xu is still missing. Shen Ping is puzzled. County Magistrate Xu is always punctual, so why is he so late today?
