Chapter 101 Pei Yuanjun, a gentle and weak scholar?
When Pei Yuanjun saw that Qi Yunran really didn't pull out the hairpin he had given her, the warmth in his starry eyes returned.

Qi Yunran then bought various kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and arranged them all.

Then he went with Pei Yuanjun to the place where Uncle Liu had parked his oxcart.

When Uncle Liu saw Pei Yuanjun carrying a full basket, he immediately took the basket and put it on the cart for him.

Qi Yunran quickly put the things she was holding onto the oxcart.

Uncle Liu lifted the basket and, finding it heavy, immediately said, "Brother, you bought so much! Look at all this chicken, duck, fish, and meat. I'll definitely come over tomorrow to help you plant rice seedlings and maybe even get a free meal. Haha..."

Pei Yuanjun smiled slightly: "Then Uncle Liu must come, my wife has also bought some good wine!"

"Okay... then it's settled!"

"Mm!" Pei Yuanjun responded with a smile.

When they arrived at the back of the mountain, Uncle Liu helped carry the things into the house.

They were afraid that it would exhaust Pei Yuanjun, this "weak scholar" who couldn't even kill a chicken.

The next day, after Huang Caicai's promotion, a lot of people came.

They even brought the remaining rice seedlings from their own home.

Qi Yunran originally wanted to calculate the amount of money for them, but they all refused, saying that it was useless to have any left over.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu arrived early in the morning. When they arrived, Qi Yunran was braising pig offal.

Aunt Liu felt sorry for her, thinking that she couldn't even afford meat, so she brought home a large piece of cured meat.

But then I smelled a delicious aroma that made my mouth water.

It turned out to be braised pig's head meat prepared by Qi Yunran. The aroma was even more enticing than the food at the Kemanlou restaurant in town. Seeing that Aunt Liu was curious, Qi Yunran cut some for her to try.

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up as she took a bite: "Delicious! Yunran is such a good cook! This is the first time in my life I've ever tasted something so delicious."

After saying that, he stuffed the cured meat in his hand into Qi Yunran's hand and said kindly, "It's delicious, but I'm afraid some people will be jealous of you and say some sour things. Here, I brought you a piece of cured meat from home. You can cook it and cut it into wide, thin slices, so it will look nice when it's served."

Qi Yunran looked at the pork in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Aunt Liu had misunderstood that she didn't have anything presentable to offer and was afraid that she would be laughed at if she brought out these pork offal.
Qi Yunran accepted Aunt Liu's kindness: "Thank you, Aunt Liu. I bought fish, chicken, and duck yesterday. I'm worried about not being able to manage everything by myself! How about Aunt Liu lend me a hand today?"

Aunt Liu looked at the chicken, duck, fish, and chopped and cleaned pig's trotters that Qi Yunran had bought, and felt a little embarrassed as she saw the cured meat that Qi Yunran stuffed into Qi Yunran's hand.

Upon hearing Qi Yunran ask for her help, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Aunt Liu blushed with embarrassment, Qi Yunran immediately said, "Aunt Liu is so thoughtful. I don't know the preferences of the people in the village."

If none of the dishes I cook suit their tastes, they'll definitely love these cured pork slices. Aunt Liu has been a huge help to me today.”

Upon hearing Qi Yunran's words, Aunt Liu's initial embarrassment vanished instantly.

"Not at all, not at all. Yunran's cooking is delicious. But in our village, there really is a custom of eating 'planting rice meat' when planting rice seedlings. If a family doesn't prepare a lot of meat for planting rice seedlings, people will really talk about it behind their backs." Aunt Liu's voice had a strong local accent.

"Aunt Liu is so thoughtful. I went to town yesterday but couldn't buy any meat, so I didn't prepare any. If Aunt Liu hadn't reminded me, Yunran would have made a fool of herself."

"It's normal that you haven't thought of this since you're not in charge yet."

Before long, it was broad daylight. So many people had come to Qi Yunran's house; almost the entire village had come.

Aunt Liu said she could make breakfast simple, so she made a bowl of noodles for herself.

However, Qi Yunran made delicious noodles with minced meat sauce, and added two poached eggs to each person's bowl.
