It's just that although Qi Ling herself is not distressed, naturally someone will feel sorry for her.

After hearing her say this, the lieutenant chief looked very excited, and couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Qi Ling, that's not a few taels of silver, but dozens of taels of silver, are you really willing to take it out?"

Hearing the "dozens of taels" in the mouth of the chief of the li, the villagers who were listening on the side opened their mouths wide one by one.

It turned out that there were dozens of taels of silver! That's a lot of money, isn't it?

If you don't want these dozens of taels, you don't want it, and only Qi Ling would do such a thing. That's too generous, isn't it?

Na Hexiang's father and stepmother heard it on the side, and they were both envious and jealous, and they both began to scold Qi Ling for being stupid in their hearts.

Aren't you stupid, don't want good money, give it to someone else.

How many things can be bought with a few dozen taels of silver, she doesn't want it, if only she gave it to them!

It's just that what they think is beautiful, Qi Ling has nothing to do with them, and even when it comes to it, she has some entanglements with Hexiang, even if she doesn't kick the two of them out today, even if she is generous, she still wants this money in her heart.

Sure enough, if you are really cheap, you are invincible!

Qi Ling heard the chief's question, nodded hurriedly, and spoke.

"I'm really willing to take it out, in fact, everyone knows that I'm not from this village, but many people in our village still treat me with a sincere heart, and I feel a lot of warmth these days."

"I don't know how to repay them, so I can do something for the people in the village with this money, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for me."

Qi Ling's words could be regarded as completely changing the opinion of several elders towards her.

In the past, they felt that Qi Ling, a female girl, was a little too bold in doing things, and she was a little rude, and last time she turned her head and turned her face because she said a few words about Gu Jinfeng's life experience.

But now it seems that they misunderstood.

This woman will definitely have great achievements in the future, just what she said today, it can be seen that she is a person with a heart.

It is a blessing that they can meet such a person in their village.

Sure that Qi Ling really didn't want this money, the smile was kind, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into a marigold.

"Okay, good, Miss Qi Ling is a good girl, as the head of the house, I am here to assure you that this money will definitely be used on the people in our village, and Miss Qi Ling's mind will not be wasted."

After listening to him, Qi Ling took the lead and applauded, and she took the lead, and the rest of the people also applauded.

Some even stood up and shouted.

"I believe that our owner, and I also believe that the mayor, will definitely use this money to benefit our own people!"

"I believe it too!"

"And me!"

……

Listening to these applause and the voices of support from everyone, the lieutenant felt that there was a wave of enthusiasm all over his body at this moment, as if he had returned to twenty years ago, full of ambition.

He can't wait to start planning now, how to use that large amount of money, so that he can do something practical for the villagers.

Qi Ling wrote down their gifts on a piece of paper one by one, and then helped them to the table with Gu Jinfeng.

It's just that I'm in some trouble at this time.

Because the other tables were already several full, otherwise there would only be one or two seats left, and there would be no room for so many people.

The only empty table was the one where Hexiang's father and stepmother were sitting, but Qi Ling felt that it was a bit of a shame to let them eat with these two people.

To be clear, the two of them will respond to the other people.

Seeing the embarrassment on Qi Ling and Gu Jinfeng's faces, the lieutenant chief also guessed the reason.

At this time, he saw that Qi Ling was very pleasing to the eye, and he refused to embarrass her, so he took the initiative to sit down at this table, and asked the clansmen who came with him to sit down.

"Let's just sit at this table, you should go and get busy with yours, just let a few old guys sit with their grandchildren."

Qi Ling saw that there was no embarrassed look on the face of the lieutenant chief, and knew that he was taking the initiative to help him out of the siege, so he accepted this kindness silently.

"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll let people start delivering food."

Then, Qi Ling began to say to the people who had been waiting.

"Now that the elders have arrived, let's not wait any longer, let's start the banquet now, Uncle Zhao, Peach Blossom, let's start serving!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Qi Ling's command, the two agreed in unison.

Aunt Zhao first carried a bamboo basket and sent a big steamed bun that had just come out of the pot to each table, two adults and one child.

This steamed bun Aunt Liu has an excellent dough, so the steamed ones are soft and snow-white, and they smell very sweet, which makes people feel happy when they look at it.

Immediately after, Qi Ling, Peach Blossom and the people in the workshop began to deliver dishes to the table.

This first dish is Uncle Zhao's steamed balls, which is considered a top prize, and it is also the best dish that Uncle Zhao consciously made today.

I saw a large plate of meatballs with thick red sauce placed in the center of the table. It's round and bulging, it's cute, and it's decorated with some greens next to it, which makes people have an appetite when they look at it.

It's just that the chopsticks can't be moved at will, and they can't start eating until the elders on each table have moved.

And inside, everyone paid attention to whether the table with the chief began to move the chopsticks.

The chief knew the meaning of this, first humbled each other with a few clansmen, and then took a pair of chopsticks.

After tasting the taste, he nodded again and again, and praised it with a satisfied face.

"This craft is really good, everyone should try it quickly!"

Seeing him pick up chopsticks, everyone began to eat lively.

There are a lot of compliments mixed with one after another, and it seems that everyone is still very happy with this dish.

This made Uncle Zhao on the side hear this, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker.

The first course hadn't been on the table for long, and then the second course was served, this time with a bright braised fish nugget.

I saw that the fish pieces were neatly cut, and I could see that the knife work was very good, and it was wrapped in a thin layer of batter and sauce, which looked very attractive.

Before the plate was placed on the table, everyone smelled the umami of the fish, which had already aroused the cravings in their stomachs.
