Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

"Go and see if Shen Xingye is here, and tell him I'm treating him to a meal."

"Well, okay. He may not have time for anything else, but he will definitely have time for dinner." Eighteen responded with a smile.

"This guy doesn't look like a county magistrate at all. He comes to our restaurant to eat all day long. Especially after the mushroom hotpot was served, he comes almost every other day."

Su Ziling took out the mushrooms she brought and said, "He likes them. It seems that the mushrooms I brought today were the right ones. You can go quickly. I think my mushrooms will be almost ready by the time you come back."

After a few rough words, Shi Ba went out to invite Shen Xingye, while Su Ziling began to prepare her mushroom hotpot.

Seeing that Su's mother was still talking to Third Aunt, "Third Aunt, you should go back to the house and rest, or go to the yard. It's cooler under the tree over there. You can sit under the tree. The kitchen here smells heavily of cooking fumes."

Bai Wei waved her hand and pointed at the green vegetables beside her, meaning that she also needed to wash the vegetables and mushrooms.

The ones washed in the morning are basically eaten, so the ones washed in the afternoon have to be washed again.

"No need, go and have a rest, we are here," Su's mother helped her to the shade of a tree nearby and brought out some snacks for her.

Su Ziling made all of them in her spare time. It rained some time ago and she bought a lot of meat, so she had nothing to do and made some pork jerky so she could eat it when she was free.

Su's mother took over Third Aunt's job, and Su Ziling washed the mushrooms she brought.

"Cousin, this is the green onion? We don't seem to sell this." Li Zelan just brought the pot in and saw her pour out a basin of green onion.

"They don't sell it in the store, but I'm using this to treat someone to a meal. By the way, is there anyone available on the second floor?"

Li Zelan stared blankly at her cleaning the mushrooms, "There's just one empty room, Uncle San is cleaning it."

"That's fine, you keep it for me. I'll treat people to dinner later." After a long while without seeing him move, Su Ziling looked up at him and said, "Aren't you going to get busy?"

"Oh, go ahead." He went out with a plate of mushrooms and checked the time. When he saw that it was almost time, he served chopsticks to the guests at the table in front.

Naturally, this caused the man to complain a few more times.

"I want to see if it tastes good or not. You're so nervous about eating. I've never seen anyone serve food without giving chopsticks."

"Okay, okay, stop talking. I've been asking around for a long time. I heard that their mushroom hotpot is very famous. It's a must-eat when you come to Yongchang County. If you don't try it, your trip will be in vain."

"I heard it's the only one of its kind. Come, try the soup. It smells good."

"Humph, it took me a long time to find such a shop. This shows how poor Yongchang County is. This thing looks so bland, and you have the nerve to say that it's the only one of its kind. I want to see how delicious it is."

After saying that, he took a small sip reluctantly, touching his lips as if he was afraid it might be poisonous.

"Ok?"

He couldn't quite believe it, so he took another sip, smacking his lips and savoring the taste carefully.

Seeing this, the companion on the other side said, "How is it? I think our trip was worthwhile. This mushroom hotpot is really as good as its reputation. In one word, delicious!"

As he spoke, he looked around the small restaurant and saw a bamboo cabinet near the wall with various kinds of mushrooms on it.

"These mushrooms are really fresh. No wonder there are so many people here even though it's not mealtime."

"It's okay." The man said reluctantly with a hum.

His mouth was very tough, but unfortunately his hands were not so tough. He picked up the spoon and scooped another bowl of soup.

The locals nearby were already used to it. While drinking soup, they said, "You guys only came these two days. If you came at this time in the past few days, there would be no mushrooms at all."

"Yes, in the beginning, there weren't that many mushrooms, and we couldn't get any. We had to line up during meal times, and sometimes they were gone by the time we got there."

"There are more mushrooms these days, so we can eat them even when it's not mealtime."

"So exaggerated?" The man was obviously a little bit unbelieving.

"Is it an exaggeration? You may not know that the owner of this Su Ji Restaurant is Miss Su Ziling."

"Oh? And she's a girl. What's so special about her?"

Speaking of Su Ziling, that person said a lot of things. To sum it up, Yongchang County suffered from an insect plague last month. This girl researched a prescription and followed the yamen runners to work in the fields. In just seven days, all the insects were wiped out.

"so smart?"

"No, her best skill is cooking. The food in restaurants nowadays is a bit monotonous. You should come here in July or August. At that time, the restaurants will have ice jelly, rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, eggs boiled in sweet white wine, and papaya water, which are refreshing and can relieve summer heat. By the way, since you didn't order the fairy tofu, I suggest you order one portion as well. It's also their specialty."

"Okay."

After listening to them, the two ordered another serving of divine tofu.

Looking at the emerald green color, the two men never dared to take action.

The two men looked head to head and whispered, "Are you sure this is tofu?"

"It seems...right?"

"No, whose tofu is green? Aren't all tofu white?"

"Didn't I tell you that this is their specialty?"

"Try it first."

"No, no, no, you go first."

The two of them pushed each other, but no one dared to take the first move. At this moment, the person sitting inside widened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the door.

"Shen, Shen, Shen..."

"Shen what... Oh my god, Shen Xingye!"

"Why is this guy here?"

"Didn't he pass the imperial examination and get the second place in the imperial examination? Plus, his father is a marquis, so he should have stayed in Beijing. Who knows what made him crazy? He asked for a post in another place. And he's not even a prefect, but a county magistrate in a small place. I just heard my father mention it, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Now it seems that he has come to Yongchang County. What a coincidence that we can run into him."

"No, this guy has achieved such political achievements right after arriving. Is he here to gild himself?"

"How's it going? Do you want to say hello?"

"No need to fight. He is an official now. Who knows what will happen in the future. As for the two of us, let's just keep playing!"

Shen Xingye came in without looking over here. When he saw him enter the lobby, Li Zelan directly led him to the second floor.

"By the way, why did Sister Xiaoqing suddenly think of treating me to a meal?"

Li Zelan shook her head. "My cousin didn't say anything. Please come in, sir. My cousin will be here soon."

Shen Xingye walked to the window and looked at the people coming and going below, "Changce, did you see those two people?"

"I saw it, the young master of the Duke of Jing and the Earl of Chengyi's family," they were also your former friends.

He swallowed the rest of the sentence, "Master, did you see it too?"

Smelling the aroma of mushrooms in the room, Shen Xingye rolled his eyes and said, "Your master, I'm just lazy, not blind. How could I not see two living people that big?"

Seeing that Chang Ce didn't say anything, he glanced at him and said, "Are you going to ask me why I pretended not to see it?"

He pinched his chin. "If I go over and say hello, what if they ask me to treat them? This is my territory after all. If they insist on me playing host, I can't refuse..."

As he continued talking more and more outrageously, Chang Ce simply closed his eyes and waited for his next words. He was obviously used to his nonsense.

As a result, he himself found it funny when he was talking about it. "These two people usually just eat and drink and don't do anything serious. Suddenly they came here. They must have gone out to play or they came here because of the smell. After all, they contributed a lot to the things I brought back."

Thinking about how every time they sent something back, these two people would coolly take out money, Changce couldn't help but mourn for them for a moment.

Finally, Shen Xingye sighed, "Okay, okay, to tell you the truth, I just feel uncomfortable. Why can they travel around while I can only deal with endless trivial matters in the county government every day?"

He curled his lips and said, "By the way, tell Qingwu to keep an eye on it. It's not a good thing for it to be here at this point."

"Yes." Chang Ce responded and turned to leave. He knew that the last sentence was the real thing.
