Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 725 Attracting Investment

This was also what Bai Wanwan had agreed with Bai Wanru in advance.

Soon the guests were seated, but how could they dare to eat the bullfrog?

Bai Wanru stretched out her chopsticks, took a bite and said, "It tastes very good, spicy and tender."

A few brave ones also started eating. Bai Wanwan had someone make spicy bullfrog and garlic lobster.

In addition, there are loaches, straw fish, and shrimps that they raise themselves in the river.

In addition, there are also Mallard ducks and other animals, which are all raised locally.

When all the dishes were served, there were more than a dozen in total.

The ladies enjoyed the food very much and praised it highly.

You know, just now several ladies were complaining that the duck was not cooked right and the dish was not tasty, but now they can't stop eating it.

Bai Wanwan took the opportunity to say:

"These are our Qingshui County specialties, just like these fish, which are not ordinary fish, but straw fish.

These shrimps and loaches are all raised in the rice fields.”

The atmosphere at the banquet became increasingly heated, with several ladies muttering:

“Delicious, really delicious!

Especially the bullfrog, it's as smooth and tender as tofu, and the spiciness is just right. How can it be so perfect?"

Someone next to him immediately answered:

"That's right, try this chicken! The meat is very firm and has a sweet taste when you chew it.

It tastes completely different from the broiler chickens we raise at home. What kind of breed is this?"

Bai Wanwan explained:

"These chickens are all free-range chickens raised by farmers in Qingshui County. They are a local breed.

They usually grow up running on the ridges of fields, pecking at insects and eating wild seeds. They are not kept in cages and fed.

And the mallards are also raised by the river, feeding on the small fish and shrimp in the water and the tender grass on the shore, which is why their meat is so firm and fragrant."

The kitchen staff brought out another bowl of white celery, and Bai Wanwan introduced it with a smile:

"This is the white celery that is unique to Qingshui County. It is crisp, tender and has no residue.

The dish next to it is a dish of cold-mixed amaranth, which is made from wild vegetables grown locally on the ridges of the fields. Amaranth can clear away heat and detoxify, and is very good for the eyes.

As soon as the words fell, a lady in gorgeous clothes curled her lips, picked up a piece of Malan with chopsticks, put it down again, and said with a bit of disgust: "Bah! Isn't Malan just a wild grass in the mountains? It looks rough. Who would have the patience to eat this?"

Bai Wanwan said lightly:

"Madam, you are wrong. Malan may look ordinary, but it is a good thing, especially for those who often look at account books or do embroidery. It is very pleasing to the eyes.

And this method uses sesame oil mixed with dried tofu, you will know after you try it."

She picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to her personally. The lady put it into her mouth half-believingly and was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up.

The refreshing taste of Malan mixed with the mellow fragrance of sesame oil, and the toughness of dried tofu neutralizes the roughness of wild vegetables. It does not have the earthy smell as imagined, but is extremely appetizing.

The ladies around saw this and started to pick up their chopsticks. After tasting the food, they all nodded in praise:

“This Malan dried tofu is really delicious!

It looks like wild grass, but I didn't expect it to taste so refreshing, much better than greasy meat dishes!"

The lady who had been so disgusted earlier felt a little embarrassed. She took another bite with her chopsticks and muttered, "I really was wrong. This wild vegetable is actually more appetizing than some fine dishes."

For a moment, the white celery and Malan on the table became the new focus, and no one thought that these rustic things were not presentable anymore.

Some ladies were quite curious: "Didn't they say Qingshui County is extremely poor right now? Why doesn't it seem that way?"

Bai Wanwan frowned and said:

"Who said that? It's true that there was a major disaster last year, and Qingshui County was in great difficulty during that time.

But Qingshui County is now self-sufficient. If you don’t believe it, you will see it at a glance.”

Soon several ladies nodded: "Let's go and see, and we'll know. I want to see what that impoverished county has become now."

"Then I'll go and take a look too. But you're quite amazing, little kid. How did you do it?"

Bai Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I don't really understand it either. I just listen to my advisors."

Bai Wanwan didn't want others to think she was so powerful, so the ladies next to her nodded and said, "Then your counselors are quite powerful. They were able to make Qingshui County what it is today."

Bai Wanwan smiled innocently and said, "Anyway, we're all going out for fun tomorrow. I'll cover all the expenses, and you can bring your daughter along too."

We came here today to invite those ladies and young ladies to Qingshui County. More than 200 ladies and young ladies came today.

As long as half of the people are willing to go to Qingshui County, they will see a different Qingshui County.

Bai Wanwan is also involved in attracting investment. There is no other way, Qingshui County is really lacking in popularity now.

In more than half a year, more than half of the academy in Qingshui County has been built, and the commercial street has been completed.

It looks very beautiful, with all green exterior walls and occasionally a few red exterior walls.

As long as Qingshui County becomes popular, it will slowly come back to life.

Wei Mingli strode in, frowned when he saw Bai Wanwan, and asked, "Who invited you?"

Bai Wanru smiled faintly and said, "I invited her here. After all, she is also a princess."

Wei Mingli sneered and said, "I thought everyone in Qingshui County was dead by now! I didn't expect you still had time to wander around!"

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said:

"What are you talking about, Mr. Prefect? ​​We are all your people. Shouldn't you hope that our county will have enough food and clothing?

By the way, I happen to be inviting all the ladies to Qingshui County tomorrow, and I would like to invite you as well.

Do you think you are free tomorrow?"

Wei Mingli sneered:

"What if I go to see your barren place where no one lives and no one lays eggs?

Besides, didn't you say you didn't need my help? What's going on? Can't make ends meet? Now you're crying poor?"

Bai Wanwan glanced at him and said, "I'm not here to complain about my poverty. I'm here to let everyone go to Qingshui County and see that it's being governed quite well."

"Hehehe... Even if Qingshui County is doing well now, it will still be flooded when the flood comes. What is there to brag about?" Wei Mingli said while eating.

Bai Wanwan was too lazy to pay attention to him. This prefect really couldn't stand to see her do well in any way.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, someone reported: "Someone outside wants to see Bai Wanwan by name, saying it's her family member."

Bai Wanwan frowned. She hadn’t heard that Bai Qiaoniang and Madam Bai were coming?

As soon as she led her people out, she was sure that Old Man Lin, Old Lady Lin, Lin Dachang, Lin Dasheng, Lin Zaozao, Lin Ze, Lin Han, Bai Qian, and Bai Nian would all gather around them.

Bai Wanwan looked at them and asked, "What do you mean? Could it be that you can't stay in Bianjing anymore?"

Lin Dachang looked at her and said, "Oh! Niece, you are here! We have been driven out of the capital. You must help us this time!"
