Bab 466: 455

```

Zhou Dalang stepped aside, allowing Zhou Erlang to step forward.

Ms. Qian still gave him a string of coins and, after thinking it over, added another string. "Back when we were preparing the banquet for Four, we barely spent a string of coins, but this time is different from before. Not to mention those coming from afar, we'll certainly have to invite the entire village, young and old alike. Moreover, meat has become more expensive now. You should buy some extra, just to be on the safe side."

Zhou Erlang accepted the money and acknowledged the task.

"If it's not enough, credit the goods first and settle the payment after the day after tomorrow," she instructed.

Ms. Feng then took a tour around the vegetable garden and returned to report, "Mother, I'm afraid there won't be enough vegetables in the garden."

Although they planted a vast array of vegetables, Erlang nearly sold vegetables in town every day, so it was difficult to supply enough for so many people at once.
