The County Governor didn't expect his headache wouldn't be about how to host the suddenly arriving Inspector, but rather a group of refugees and soldiers.
Setting up tables was out of the question. Even if he wanted to, there weren't enough seats. So after a moment of silence, he said to the manager who had a troubled expression on his face, "Set up several long tables, divided on either side, hosting the soldiers on the left and the refugees on the right."
He said, "Get people to bury pots and make food, let everyone get involved."
The manager asked, "Cook for everyone?"
There are so many people.
The County Governor could slightly sense Zhao Hanzhang's dissatisfaction. He gritted his teeth and said, "Give meals to the soldiers, and cook porridge for the refugees, make it thicker. If the food isn't enough, take some from the storehouse, borrow from the mill..."
In short, first smooth out Zhao Hanzhang's temper and then talk.
