By noon, Wang Yongzhu, Old Granny Zhang, and Lady Qi had managed to whip up two large tables of dishes.
The main table featured light and refreshing dishes, showing considerable thoughtfulness.
Outside, a separate table was set up for the attendants, loaded with hearty dishes like chicken, duck, fish, and meat.
Everyone was quite satisfied with the food and drink.
Before leaving, under Lady Qi's guidance, Wang Yongzhu prepared a few gifts.
For Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran, tea was an essential part of the gift. This time, Wang Yongzhu was particularly generous, giving each half a pound.
Additionally, she included some local products from the farm, which were barely presentable.
Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran, having seen everything, were not easily impressed by anything else, except that tea, which truly was a delight and worth more than gold.
