Chapter 1077: Chapter 900: Hosting a Banquet

Xiao Residence.

The officials sat in the living room somewhat restrained, originally thinking that Xiao Yeyang invited them for dinner just out of politeness, and were surprised that he actually called them over.

Some of the more spirited officials, seeing the atmosphere a bit subdued, laughed and made small talks: "Commander Xiao, may I ask what is installed on the windows and the roof of your house? Even without lighting, it’s so bright inside the house in the middle of winter."

The winter in Xiliang is cold, and to prevent the chill from penetrating, thick curtains are hung over the doors and windows, which makes the light inside the house very dim.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "That is glass."

Fan Tong’s eyes lit up: "Is this produced by the newly established Xiangyang Glass Factory outside the city?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "When you leave later, take a few pieces back with you. The glass factory was just built and hasn’t produced much. By next spring, it should be available for sale in the city."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces lit up with joy and they expressed their thanks.

Fan Tong, who was rather bold, stood by the window and knocked on the glass, smiling: "Our Ganzhou Guard suffers from heavy wind and sand, with this glass, we won’t have to replace the window paper so often."

Immediately, other officials followed suit: "Ever since Commander Xiao arrived, our life in Ganzhou Guard has improved greatly, not to mention anything else, just the honeycomb coal has benefited the people immensely."

"Now we have glass, and it can be imagined that our days will only get better from here on."

Others quickly agreed: "Exactly, exactly."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and chatted with everyone for a while, until Defu came in and said: "Master, the meal is ready, Madam said we can start eating."

Xiao Yeyang stood up: "Gentlemen, follow me to the dining room for dinner." Having said that, he led the way out of the room.

The officials took their seats in the dining room in turn, and soon saw the maids bringing in plates of various vegetables. _{freēwebnovel.com}

It’s too cold in winter in Ganzhou Guard, and the food quickly cools down after leaving the pot. Daohua decisively went for a straightforward and simple approach, serving the officials with a hot pot, thus it’s both convenient and no worry about the dishes getting cold.

Seeing the green vegetables on the table, many officials showed touched expressions.

In Ganzhou Guard, it is really hard to get fresh vegetables in winter.

Could it be that Commander Xiao actually valued them so much that these vegetables were surely transported from outside by Xiao Residence?

Fan Tong, who loves to eat, seeing the continuous arrival of vegetables on the table, quickly said: "Commander Xiao, this is really too generous, we would be fine with just a little to eat."

Xiao Yeyang was also aware of the preciousness of fresh vegetables in the cold, and smiled: "I’ve been in Ganzhou Guard for a year, and have been busy with official duties and never invited everyone for a meal. This is the first time I’ve having everyone at my residence, how could it be casual?"

"This is a hot pot recipe specially made by my wife, taking into account everyone’s taste, with both spicy and non-spicy flavors. Please pick up your chopsticks and have a taste."

Everyone thanked him before they picked up their chopsticks, and then they couldn’t stop eating.

Dong Yuanxuan and Su Hongxin were sitting at the same table with Xiao Yeyang, and looking at the suddenly lively dining room, Su Hongxin laughed: "Sitting together for hot pot in winter; this is truly a great idea."

Dong Yuanxuan: "There’s a prerequisite for that, enough side dishes must be available." If it were them hosting the hot pot, they would probably only have meat to eat.

Su Hongxin immediately looked towards Xiao Yeyang: "Brother, where did your wife find these fresh vegetables?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "She built a greenhouse with glass on the cultivated manor."

Su Hongxin quickly said: "Then, when I leave, I’ll take some back with me to eat."

Xiao Yeyang glanced sideways: "The temperature here is too low, and the yield of vegetables is not high."

Su Hongxin stopped talking: "Then I’ll eat more now."

Xiao Yeyang shook his head and when Su Hongxin and Dong Yuanxuan left, he still packed a basket of tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and so on for them.

As for the others, they only got a few pieces of glass.
