Xiao'er glanced at Du Yijin, seeing anticipation and sincerity in her eyes. She also looked at Jingrui and Shangguan Xuanyi.
Shangguan Xuanyi nodded and said, "In that case, we appreciate it, Miss Du."
Since there was hot food available, they obviously couldn't settle for simple snacks.
Upon hearing these words, Du Yijin burst into happy laughter: "Then I will go and instruct the cook to prepare."
She disliked taking advantage of others. Since the ruler of Rui'an County gifted her with lotus seeds, she would repay the gesture by inviting them to have a meal.
"Miss Du, it's hot weather, just prepare a couple of light dishes. There's no need for variety, none of us are picky," suggested Xiao'er, noticing Du's enthusiasm.
The three then went to survey the terrain of the future resort and zoo.
They rode horses for this survey due to the vastness of the land.
By the time they returned to Du Yijin's villa, lunch was ready.
They washed their hands and sat down to eat.
