Li Qiu had a real knack for compliments. "I can tell you're all so capable. Everything is packed so neatly..."
The older woman loading the goods was so amused she couldn't stop grinning. "You have such a sweet tongue, little miss. It's a shame your masters are people we could never hope to associate with, otherwise I'd really want you to stay here in our village."
Li Qiu laughed heartily. Having been in Lu City for so long, she knew the people here were more open-minded and spoke without so many rigid formalities. "Thank you for your kind words, ma'am. But as servants, we naturally must follow our master.
And with such high-quality seafood from your village, I imagine the young men here have no trouble finding wives."
The woman smiled and nodded, a look of pride on her face. "You have a good eye, little miss. The young men in our village truly don't have to worry about finding a wife. It's just that we rarely see young lasses as fresh as you.
