Chapter 119 Gratitude and Toast
He Yutang led several adults from the government office, led by Xuanfeng, to the hall. They came in respectfully in official uniforms to meet the imperial envoy. Unexpectedly, when they came in, they saw two princes sitting next to the baby's crib playing with the child.
"Greetings to the Imperial Envoy and Prince An!"
Nangong Yu laughed, "You are welcome, sir. The imperial envoy has not officially arrived today, but since you are here, if you have any suggestions for drought relief, you can put them forward now. I will listen first, but Regarding the specific matters, let me take a short rest and discuss it tomorrow. You will also stay later, and we will have a light meal together in the morning of King An."
"Yes!" He Yutang and others bowed in response.
Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with Nangong Yu's attitude towards disaster relief, they did not dare to be angry or speak out. This King of Yu is the younger brother of the same mother as the current emperor. The emperor treats his younger brother very well and cares very much. The ministers knew that they would offend no one but they would not dare to offend him.
Xiao Jing and Nangong Yu were chatting with several adults here. In the kitchen, Yuan Chuyi and others were also busy cooking. Yuan Chuyi dug out all the ingredients in the house and cooked all the dishes he could. Put it on the table, it's a sumptuous family dinner.
"Oh, I didn't expect you could grow such juicy vegetables after the drought in the southwest for so long!" Nangong Yu exclaimed as he looked at the vegetables on the table.
Xiao Jing laughed, "I said it was grown with my foot-washing water, but you still dare to eat it!"
Nangong Yu couldn't help but retract the chopsticks he had just stretched out and looked at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing sighed and shook his head, "You should go out to Beijing more and experience the sufferings of the people. In such a dry weather, why don't we use the water used to wash vegetables and feet to grow vegetables? How can we use mountain spring water to grow vegetables?" "
He Yutang also chuckled, "Prince Yu, as far as I know, Princess An grew these vegetables herself. If the princess hadn't used sewage to grow vegetables, where would the vegetables have been eaten during the drought for more than half a year!"
"Vegetables grown by my sister-in-law herself?" Nangong Yu was overjoyed, "Then I want to try it!" He said and stretched out his chopsticks again, "Everyone, I'm not polite, please use your chopsticks!"
Xiao Jing was also busy greeting several adults to use their chopsticks to eat.
At the dinner table, Nangong Yu was full of praise for Xiao Jing's food, and several adults also praised it. Xiao Jing knew as soon as he tasted these dishes that they must have been made with a spoon in the early Yuan Dynasty.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she was not idle at this time. Today, the imperial edict came. Not only was she conferred a royal title, but her two children were also made crown princes and princesses. For such joyous events, she had to dress up in Xishan Village no matter what. The folks who came to celebrate had a meal.
"My dear aunts and uncles, the palace has come to bless my two children today. It is a great joy. If you don't mind, please stay. Let's have a dinner together and celebrate together!"
"Thank you ma'am!"
For half a year after the drought, the villagers of Xishan Village received some food from time to time on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. However, after all, the drought had been going on for a long time and the price of rice had soared. Many people were no longer able to have a full meal. Now, on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, a table was set up to entertain them to celebrate the occasion. How could they refuse?
The men immediately helped to chop firewood and set up the tables and benches. The young wives and girls took it upon themselves to help wash and cut vegetables. The aunts who knew how to cook a large pot of rice set up pots and lighted the fire to cook. The aunts who knew how to cook helped stir-fry the dishes under the command of the fat man. It was so busy that after an hour, dozens of tables of simple family banquets of eight dishes and one soup were put on the table.
“During the drought season, we are in short supply of food ingredients, so today’s dishes are a bit simpler, and they are all home-cooked meals, so folks please don’t be offended.
"You're welcome, madam. Our family hasn't had meat for a long time, so we're in for a treat today."
Everyone said one after another.
Due to the ingredients, there are very few vegetarian dishes on the table. Only one fried green vegetable is used, and the rest are all meat dishes. Yuan Chuyi had sold hundreds of chickens in the farm before, but she still kept more than a hundred chickens to eat for herself, because there was not much feed to feed, and she did not dare to exchange too many from the mall for fear of being discovered. , this chicken is getting thinner and thinner as it is raised. Today was just right, two-thirds of it was disposed of in one go, and there were still thirty or forty left that would be enough for them to eat for the rest of the day.
In addition to chickens, a pig was killed today, and all the meat was used to entertain several adults and villagers.
So there is a lot of meat on the table and not a lot of vegetables.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he looked at his hometown relatives with happy smiles on his face, "You're welcome, everyone. The dishes may be a little short, but the rice is definitely enough. Let's start eating with chopsticks!"
Dozens of tables full of people, adults and children, were all sitting there. Under the greeting of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they unceremoniously opened their bellies and had a full meal.
Nangong Yu and the others came out after eating and drinking, and saw how lively it was outside.
"Sister-in-law, she really has no airs at all, and she gets along well with these common people."
Xiao Jing smiled lightly, "These people are all her saviors. She was sent back to her hometown by the Yuan family, but the people in her hometown did not accept her, expelled her from the clan and drove her out of the village. She couldn't think about it and committed suicide by drowning herself in the river. The villagers of Xishan Village rescued her." He said quietly and handed the child to Nangong Yu, "You look at the child while I go and toast them."
"Since he is my sister-in-law's savior, I'll go take a look too!" Nangong Yu handed the child to Xuanfeng and the others and followed Xiao Jing towards the crowd.
The villagers who were enjoying their meal suddenly became restrained when they saw Xiao Jing and Nangong Yu suddenly appearing, and no one dared to open their mouths to eat.
Xiao Jing took the wine glass, filled it with wine, and walked to the front with Yuan Chuyi. Seeing this, the village chief and others hurriedly led the villagers to get up in a hurry and were about to salute. But Xiao Jing hurriedly motioned for them to sit down, raised his wine glass, and said to them:
"Dear fellow villagers, it's rare that I can gather with you all today. Let me propose a toast to you all! Let's all drink together, cheers!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, holding a wine glass, he also raised a glass to thank everyone, "Thank you for coming!"
The village chief and others were also unambiguous. They all filled up their glasses with wine, stood up, and raised their glasses, "To the prince and his wife!"
Yuan Chuyi and Xiao Jing both drank from their glasses. The burning sensation in the wine made Yuan Chuyi feel that her whole stomach was about to burn, but she still held it back.
"Is Madam okay?" Xiao Jing asked in a low voice.
"It's okay!" Yuan Chuyi shook his head and said with a smile.
Xiao Jing then poured the wine again and continued to say to everyone: "For this glass of wine, I would like to thank you on behalf of my wife! When my wife was in the most difficult time, it was you who saved her, took her in, and helped her through the difficulties!" There are no words of thanks, the gratitude is all in the wine, let’s do it first as a token of respect!”
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, she didn't expect that Xiao Jing would still take this matter to her heart. She raised her head and looked at him gratefully, and then raised her glass to thank everyone. She was about to drink the wine, but Xiao Jing had already taken the wine glass in her hand and asked everyone Said: "Madam does not know how to drink, please forgive me, I will drink her wine for her!"
He raised his head and drank two glasses of wine.
"Here's to the prince!" The village chief and others said in unison, and drank the wine in their glasses.
Xiao Jing poured another glass, "This is my toast to everyone. I am very grateful to the folks for their help to my wife all the time. Thank you all!"
He said it and did it again.
The village chief and the others immediately did it again. But they didn't put down the wine glasses, and immediately poured more wine and made toasts.
The village chief said: "Your Majesty, we would like to toast you and your wife for this glass of wine. Thanks to your wife for not giving up and willing to stay and settle in our Xishan Village. It is because of her and you that our Xishan Village is what it is today and can survive this drought. You and your wife are also great benefactors to our village, don’t you think so!”
"Yes!" the villagers of Xishan Village replied in unison.
"We respect the prince and his wife!" the village chief said while raising his glass.
