Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xi Rui was extremely excited when Shi Qingluo promised to give him a goose.

“Qingluo, let’s go and choose my goose after dinner.”

Liang Youxiao came up to Shi Qingluo and said, “Qingluo, I want a goose too.”

Xi Rong raised her hand. “And me. Me too.”

Qi Yiyang also said hurriedly, “Qingluo, me too.”

Even though he had to part ways with Shi Qingluo and the others, he still wanted to bring a huge goose to his county office to guard his house.

He didn’t know about it in the past, but now he realized that the huge goose was so ferocious.

Of course, Shi Qingluo’s huge goose was even more ferocious and smarter than normal geese.

Shi Qingluo asked Dumby again and Dumby nodded nonchalantly.

There were too many geese and they were too big.

Of course, he had to go and muddle along.

As a father, he didn’t want to bother with them anymore, so it was just right to send them away.

Hence, Shi Qingluo agreed to pick a big goose for the few of them.

It made the others envious.

Someone could not help but ask, “Shi Qingluo, are you selling that big goose of yours? I want to buy one from you.”

Shi Qingluo shook her head. “I’m sorry, I’m not selling my geese.”

Another person said, “It’s not a big deal to sell one, right? I’ll pay a high price to buy one.”

Shi Qingluo glanced at him and raised her eyebrows. “Do I look like someone who’s short of money?”

This person was speechless.

Indeed, she did not look like she was.

Previously, he had heard quite a few times that Shi Qingluo received dividends from Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong’s shop every month.

When he thought about it, he could not help but feel sour.

It seemed that these noblemen did not have as much money as a village woman.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Dumby was very smart and sensible.

When everyone was eating, it obediently lay by Shi Qingluo’s feet.

Seeing this, everyone felt an urge to eat again.

This was the best restaurant in town.

The taste of the food was okay, but Shi Qingluo ate very well anyway.

Although Xi Rui and the others were picky, they wouldn’t deliberately cause trouble.

Seeing that Shi Qingluo ate very well, they also ate quite a lot.

Most of the descendants from the aristocratic families also started eating when they saw this.

Hu Mincai was carried to the carriage to treat his injuries.

Without him, the atmosphere of the whole team was not as tense as before.

After eating, Xi Rui and the others could not wait to run to the carriage that had the geese in it.

Each of them picked a big goose according to their affinity.

Then, they carried it to their own carriage, ostensibly to cultivate a relationship with their big geese.

At first, they almost got bitten when they carried the geese.

Each of them was extremely fierce.

Seeing this, Shi Qingluo asked Dumby to talk to his sons.

Dumby walked over valiantly and called out to the geese several times.

A few big geese obediently let Xi Rui and the others carry them into the carriage.

Everyone was stunned again.

These geese were really going to turn into spirits.

Especially the one that Shi Qingluo raised.

It didn’t look like a goose at all, it was too intelligent.

They continued on their journey and stayed at the courier station at night.

Hu Mincai was full of disdain again, but this time, he didn’t dare to cause trouble for Shi Qingluo.

He was really traumatized by the big goose’s bite.

He only secretly thought about how he could get revenge.

Just like that, they continued on their journey for half a month.

They were getting further and further away from the capital, and the cement road was long gone.

The journey was very bumpy.

Although Shi Qingluo’s carriage used tires and shock-absorbing springs, it still couldn’t avoid the bumpy road.

It was just not as bumpy as others.

Many of the noblemen who had never been out of the capital were carsick because of the bumpy road.

Then, they saw Shi Qingluo and the others pushing their bikes off the carriages to ride them.

On such a bad dirt road, it was naturally not easy to ride a bike.

However, it was better to ride with the wind than to lie in the carriage all the time.

The people who got carsick were extremely envious.

They wondered why they did not think of it and brought their bicycles with them.

On this day, because they were delayed by the rain in the morning, they did not find a small town or village that they could eat in the afternoon.

So Commander Wei got everyone to get off the carriage and eat the mantou that he had bought in the morning.

The descendants of the aristocratic families complained endlessly.

However, they were hungry and had to eat them even if they didn’t want to.

The weather had been extremely hot.

They were sweating profusely as they sat under the shade of the trees.

Then, they saw Shi Qingluo instructing the maids that Xi Rong had brought over to set up a few ice basins.

She then brought down a lot of cold melons from the carriage and placed them on the ice basins to chill them.

She then lit a fire to cook the noodles.

Then, she got someone to add the noodles and vegetable oil while fanning it.

Everyone was a little confused by this operation.

Even Commander Wei couldn’t help but ask, “Lady Shi, what are you doing?”

Not eating the noodles?

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “We’re making cold noodles. The weather is too hot, I don’t want to eat hot soup noodles.”

Commander Wei uttered under his breath, these people really wanted to come and play.

“Is cold noodles good?” He had never eaten it before.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “It’s delicious! I’ll give you a bowl when it’s ready. It’s been hard on you escorting them all the way here.”

Commander Wei felt very comfortable when he heard this.

Although they were escorting them all the way here, these little brats were too hard to please.

One moment, they were picky about this, and the next moment, they were disdainful of that.

Not only did they not feel that it was hard on them, but they also felt that it was what they should do.

Initially, they thought that Xi Rui and the other high-status dandies would be the most difficult to deal with.

Who would have thought that they would be quite easy-going with Shi Qingluo.

On the contrary, Hu Mincai and the others were the ones who were the most worrying.

The smile on his face deepened. “Thank you very much.”

His impression of Shi Qingluo and her husband was getting better and better.

Upon comparing, his impression of Hu Mincai and the others naturally worsened.

After the cold noodles were done, they added vegetables and the seasoning mixed by Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili.

Their cooking skills were getting better and better, and the seasoning they mixed was also superb.

Not only did Xi Rui and the others eat well, the guards under Commander Wei also praised its taste.

Shi Qingluo did not give the steamed buns to Hu Mincai and the others.

Therefore, they suddenly felt that the steamed buns in their hands were even more unappetizing.

They don’t want a strong contrast like this.

Were these people here on a journey or for fun? This was too much.

They were even more regretful.

Why didn’t they bring their people to buy things in the counties and small towns they passed by like Shi Qingluo.

Previously, they had seen Shi Qingluo buy a lot of things whenever she went to a place, such as the noodles she was cooking now.

At that time, they were laughing in their hearts. Village women were indeed village women, they really had never seen anything good before.

Furthermore, it wasn’t anything good.

Even if they were given such noodles, they wouldn’t eat it.

But now, they realized that they were ridiculously wrong.

Right now, they really wanted a bowl of noodles.

After Shi Qingluo and the rest finished eating the cold noodles, they saw the other party cutting open the chilled cold melon.

The cold melon slices were red and watery, and they were even cold. They wanted to eat it…

Unfortunately, Shi Qingluo didn’t notice their desire at all.

Very quickly, she brought her people and finished all the cold melon slices.

The guards who were escorting them also received one piece each.

This made Hu Mincai and the rest very uncomfortable.

One of them could not help but ask Shi Qingluo, “Why did the guards and everyone receive food but not us?”

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. “It was very hard for the guards to escort us all the way here. It’s only right for them to eat.

“And what did you guys do? Besides, our relationship with you guys is not so good that we have to give you food.”
