Chen Afu smiled and said, "Master Luo, you may as well join us for lunch at my place, I can whip up a few of my best dishes for you to sample."
Junior Manager Luo showed no formality in response, laughing, "Alright, I've heard from Cheng and Mei that Madam Chen's cooking is unbeatable." He added, "Drinking alone isn't as fun, so let's invite Junior Officer Gao and Carpenter Wu over. I'll make a trip to Shui Village, tell Junior Officer Liu that I'm here and he should also come for a drink. Don't forget Master Yu and Junior Officer Yu from Guqiao Village, invite them over as well."
Chen Ming, Chen Ye, and the others were somewhat bewildered when they heard these names of the much-talked-about local figures.
Chen Afu hastily replied, "Okay, okay", with eminent admiration impressed on Junior Manager Luo. By inviting such prestigious and influential people to a meal at the Chens', one day's deed outmatches a hundred days' talk in silencing Hu Laowu.
