When Yan Ming returned, a large part of the relatives, students, and Maoling fathers and villagers came. In addition to relatives, more are spontaneous from the elders and villagers.

The Han and the Xiongnu have been fighting and making peace for so many years, and the people of any family have more or less relatives and friends who have been captured or hacked by the Xiongnu.

Now Yan Ming has taken such a big breath for them, and finally made the big man raise his eyebrows. This kind of improvement in national self-confidence makes all the fathers and elders appreciate Yan Ming's goodness.

When the greeting fathers and villagers retreated to both sides of the passage, Yan Ming was dumbfounded.

On both sides of a main street in Maoling, there are aunts and aunts who work at home on weekdays, and even little daughters-in-law, little girls who have not left the boudoir.

Each of them carries more or less food.

"Invite Yanhou to eat a hundred family banquets!" Although Maoling is called Yicheng, but because Yanming is here, there is a hot spring palace in it, the status is naturally different, and there is no Yicheng for the time being, and the highest administrator is still the three elders of the original Maoling Township.

The old man said in an old but confident voice: "Invite Yanhou to eat a hundred family banquets." ”

Yan Ming burst into tears instantly, the meaning of 'Hundred Family Meals' and 'Hundred Family Banquets' is different. If a person can get a hundred banquets in the locality, it means that this person has been recognized by all the local people, although he is not the nominal chief executive, but he is the spirit and backbone of the locality.

The matter of the Hundred Family Banquet is that Yan Shan, Yan Chen, Tian Xi, Yan Ran and others don't know.

The three elders discussed with the villagers, and according to the Yan family's consistent low-key attitude, if they want a hundred family banquets, they will definitely be opposed by the old lady and Yan Shan, even Tian Xi, the wife of the Hou Ye, will not agree. So after they gathered to pick up Yan Ming, the women of Maolingyi brought out the hundred family banquets that had been prepared long ago.

The food of the Hundred Family Banquet, in detail, is far less exquisite than the dishes made by Chef Liu of Zuixianlou, and even some of them don't look so clean, they are all from the hands of peasant women.

But in Yan Ming's eyes, it was the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the villagers and the villagers, Yan Ming bowed deeply and said: "How can Yan Ming be so virtuous, how can he make the villagers and elders so loved." Fathers and elders, please accept Yan Ming's worship. ”

After that, Yan Ming knelt down on his knees and bowed heavily in the direction of Maolingyi, to the fathers and villagers, as well as the aunts, aunts, sisters and sisters who were carrying all kinds of food.

"This can't be helped, Hou Ye is a great hero and a great hero of the Han Dynasty, we won't say it. Just talking about Hou Ye's transformation of Maolingyi, which one is not convinced? The third elder knelt down directly with Yan Ming and said loudly.

"Yanhou renovated Maoling, since Yanhou was sensible, Maoling has changed day by day, from Maoling Township to Maoling Yi, not to mention, but the construction of Maoling City, this building, let everyone live comfortably. The streets are all paved with concrete. Now the Hou Ye asked, when we people from Maoling go out, even if it is Chang'an, is the heat of that place envious? They look at our roads with envy, look at our buildings with envy. The reconstruction of Maoling City is not the most important, the most important thing is that Hou Ye set up a school like Hongyan Hall. We are all coarse people, even if we don't know how to do things, we know that reading and reading is a good thing, and it is a great plan for the benefit of future generations. This kind of treatment, starting from the Hou Ye, built a school in Maoling, is exclusive to my Maoling people. Based on these, don't say that you are a hero of the Han Dynasty, even if you are still a child who was once stubborn, the people of our Maoling also respect the Hou Ye. The words of the three elders spoke the hearts of many people.

Yan Ming himself sighed. For more than a year, he didn't feel anything. But it's not the same place as when I first arrived.

Gone are the once low mud and thatched huts, replaced by rows of buildings facing the street. Because the population of Maoling is not large, most of these buildings are idle, waiting for Liu Che's migration order to come down so that they can be sold to those local tyrants.

There are also villas in the back, which will be sold to the wealthy merchants who migrated to Maoling in the future.

The road was also improved by Yan Ming, and the bottom was made of green bricks, and then the top was poured with cement, which was unusually strong. Today's Maoling has a faint feeling of a modern city, and the only thing missing is electricity.

If you add rows of street lamps and urban lighting projects, Yan Ming will have a feeling that she can't tell the difference between today and night.

"Please enjoy it!" As the three elders knelt down, all the women with the food bent their knees slightly and said in unison.

Yan Ming arched his hand, pulled the third elder to stand up, and said with a smile: "Uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, I am still the stubborn Yan Ming back then, you should stand up straight, or I really can't speak." ”

Such a little joke of his immediately made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere that was originally a little heavy because of his kneeling and thanking him instantly became lively.

"Yan Hou, come and try my craft, this is what I learned from that uncompetitive child in my family!" Chef Liu stood at the front of the line and shouted loudly.

Yan Ming said while smiling: "Fourth aunt, Brother Liu is my top chef in Zuixianlou, even if the emperor asks him to cook, he has to make an appointment, and when it comes to your mouth, how can he become unlucky." If he is not a competitor like this, what is still a competition? ”

The fourth aunt listened to Yan Ming's words, and her mouth was so small that she couldn't close her mouth. His son turned out to be a long-term worker in the Yan family, and he never dreamed that he would suddenly become a famous chef in the capital.

When the happy fourth aunt saw people, she said that the Yan family was a treasure land, and anyone who walked in with the Yan family could soar. Look at the descendants that Yan Ming took away, which one of them came back, not to make his own eyebrows raised.

"Master Hou, come and taste it, I'm new to make it, if you don't eat it, it will be cold." The fourth aunt greeted.

Yan Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'm welcome!" ”

As he spoke, he walked up, picked up the chopsticks that had been prepared a long time ago, and took a bite of the dish. Not to mention, it really means Chef Liu.

After taking the first bite, Yan Ming stretched out her eldest mother's finger and exclaimed, "The fourth aunt has learned a little bit of meaning." ”

The fourth aunt scolded with a smile: "That rabbit cub in my family always said that he was busy in Chang'an, and he didn't teach me well when he came back, if he was willing to teach me, wouldn't it be a little interesting, the old lady was even better than him!" ”

The crowd laughed. Yan Ming also walked to the next house with a smile, took the chopsticks and tasted it gently, and praised it.

This meal can't be said to be delicious, but in Yan Ming's heart, it is the most sumptuous delicacy in the world.

Watching Yan Ming eat one bite at a time among the crowds, Yan Shan held Yan Chen's hand trembling slightly.

Yan Chen felt Yan Shan's trembling, and said softly: "Son, what did I say when you scolded him for not being successful? I'll just say that my grandson is the pillar of the Yan family, no. ”

Yan Shan nodded and did not answer. Seeing that his son has changed from a little scoundrel who is disliked by everyone to a big marquis who now enjoys the hundred family banquets indifferently while talking and laughing, the feeling of pride in his heart has never diluted.
