Chapter 78 Take Advantage
There were too many people to fit at one table, so we divided it into three tables.
There is fish and meat on every table, and the portions are sufficient.
The strong men are even more embarrassed. They haven’t started working yet.
Just serve this much meat.
Seeing that none of the strong men moved their chopsticks, Zhao Laosan quickly greeted them.
"You're welcome, use your chopsticks to eat."
After the host greeted them, the strong men started to eat.
"Really delicious!"
“It smells good and tastes even better.”
"It's much better than the food I cook at home."
The strong men praised it while eating, their eyes full of amazement.
It's obviously just a few ordinary dishes, steamed fish, fried meat with cabbage, vegetables, etc.
Every family will make it, but the food eaten at Zhao's house must be more fragrant and delicious.
Li Xiuxiu smiled from ear to ear.
"Is it really that delicious? Don't hold me back."
The strong men really thought it was delicious, and they all praised it.
"Can we still win against the host?"
"If you ask me, it tastes better than the county's Laijiangge."
"I also think that the dishes at Lai Jiangge have been pursuing good-looking appearance in recent years, but they are not that delicious."
Laijiangge is the largest and most famous restaurant in the county, and its prices are quite high.
There are many wealthy businessmen in the county, but many of them go back for a meal every now and then during the tooth festival.
Business has been good.
Hearing their praise, Li Xiuxiu felt happy and became more motivated to cook.
"When the house starts to be built, you will also come to the house to eat. Then I will let you know more."
Wu Yang ate the most delicious food. He finished the bowl of rice very quickly. The rice in the pot hadn't been steamed yet, so he simply put down his chopsticks and waited.
"Second Aunt, we also brought food."
"There are also a lot of vegetables and meat."
"It's on the carriage, it hasn't been unloaded yet, we'll have enough to eat later
Just go and move in. "
Suddenly so many people came and wanted to eat. When Mrs. Zhao was cooking, she and Li Xiuxiu were wondering whether there would be enough food.
The meat should be just enough to eat, but the vegetables are definitely not enough, and some food needs to be added.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jingzhi had even prepared food.
Mrs. Zhao was touched and embarrassed, "Jingzhi, we can just buy the food."
Wu Yang sat next to Mrs. Zhao and gave the old lady a piece of meat.
"Master, of course you have to do a full set of things. You have to prepare all these things."
"Otherwise we would bring people here suddenly and you would not be prepared at all. It would be so unexpected."
"I also want to bring a cook, but I want to eat the food cooked by my second aunt, hehe."
Li Xiuxiu went to see the rice in the steamer. It was already steamed, and she quickly greeted Wu Yang.
"Ah Yang, you are the only one with a sweet mouth. Come and serve the food."
Wu Yang happily brought the bowl to make rice, "The steamed rice made by my second aunt is more delicious than others."
Li Xiuxiu gave Wu Yang a big bowl of rice, and it all came out.
"Eat more and you will grow taller."
Wu Yang smiled happily while holding the bowl, "Thank you, Second Aunt,"
"Second Aunt works hard every day to cook. We can't trouble Second Aunt to cook for so many people just because we get along with her every day. I'll hire a cook later."
Li Xiuxiu likes that Wu Yang is lively and talkative, "It's so hard to make some food. There's no need to hire a cook."
Mrs. Zhao had a small appetite and put down her bowl and chopsticks after a while.
"Since the kitchen is separate, can we repair the kitchen first?"
The strong man in the lead said: "Of course, let's build the kitchen first."
There were many people today and time was tight. Li Xiuxiu was so busy cooking so many meals that she couldn't even touch the floor. The makeshift stove was too small, making it inconvenient to stir-fry.
In the cool weather of late autumn, Li Xiuxiu was so busy that she was sweating.
After eating and drinking, the women stayed at home to clear the table and wash the dishes.
The men took the strong men to get food or wood.
As soon as they left, a large group of people came outside the Zhao family shed.
Every household in the village now lives so close together that every movement can be heard clearly, not to mention the sudden arrival of so many people from the Zhao family.
They are all burly and strong men.
Aunt Wang directly opened the curtain and came in.
"Aunt Zhao, what's going on at your house? There are so many people here?"
Mrs. Zhao clicked her tongue and suddenly broke into the shed, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
"Please come and build the house."
Mrs. Zhao's tone was cold, but it did not hinder Aunt Wang's curiosity at all.
"Where did you invite the person?"
"Does it cost a lot of money?"
"Your family has secretly saved so much money?"
There was no sense of propriety in the question. Li Xiuxiu lost her temper and rolled her eyes.
"What does it have to do with you? Do you still have to taste the saltiness when a dung picker passes by your door?"
Aunt Wang smiled coquettishly, "Oh, I was just asking."
"Why didn't you tell anyone that your family was going to build a house?"
Li Xiuxiu got tired of hearing this and raised her voice with her hands on her hips, "We've already hired help, so we won't bother the villagers. What can we say?"
After being blocked twice, Aunt Wang still refused to give up.
Li Xiuxiu is difficult to deal with, and Mrs. Zhao is also very talkative. He Sutong doesn't talk much, but women who have read books are very good at talking.
Aunt Wang simply started with Li Yuebai. He looked weak and spoke softly, so it was best to bully him.
"Sister Yuebai, how much money did you spend on hiring these people?"
Plum
Yue Bai smiled softly, "Auntie, you also know that my mother-in-law runs the business. How do I know how much money I spent?"
Li Yuebai didn't say anything, but Aunt Wang wouldn't let her go. "Who doesn't know that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship. Such a big thing as building a house must have been discussed. How could you not know."
Li Yuebai still had a gentle attitude, "Auntie, this is wrong. We all know that our mother-in-law is good to us, but the money is in her hands. How can any daughter-in-law ask her mother-in-law for her money?"
"You have a son now. If you get a wife in the future, will your wife come and ask you how much money you spent?"
Aunt Wang was blocked again. She didn't expect that Li Yuebai would be so embarrassed to speak, looking at the soft and weak person.
Just say it clearly.
"Then let me tell you the truth. Our family is also planning to build a house. Since your family has hired people, we might as well ask them to build mine together."
Mrs. Zhao didn't even raise her head, arranging the washed dishes and chopsticks.
"If you can afford the money, go and invite them. Why are you telling us this?"
Aunt Wang murmured in a low voice, "I have so much money and why do I still need to come to you?"
Li Xiuxiu got impatient and directly pierced the window paper.
"I said, Aunt Wang, you don't want to just ask them to help you build a house, do you? You can use it as my home."
"My family provides most of the money, but your family just picks it up?"
"It's a beautiful thought. Why are you so big-faced? Do you think everyone in my family is a fool?"
"If you want to build a house, hire the people yourself, don't come and take advantage of my house!"
Aunt Wang's thoughts were bluntly revealed by Li Xiuxiu. She was embarrassed and annoyed, and she still spoke harshly.
"It's not like my family doesn't have money..."
Li Xiuxiu was too lazy to listen to her excuses.
"now that
If you want money, go and pay for it yourself. Don't stand in my house, blocking us from packing our things. "
Aunt Wang choked and wanted to say something else.
Li Xiuxiu rolled her eyes, walked to the door, and shouted to a large circle of people gathered outside.
"While there are many people now, I told everyone that the people who came were invited by my family to build a house."
"Now every household has to be busy building their own houses, so we won't bother the people in the village."
"If you also want to invite someone, go to the county to invite them. My family can't help much with the matter of inviting people."
"Don't be like Aunt Wang. You want to take advantage of me and come with me. No one's money comes from the strong wind. How can you let outsiders spend your own money?"
"If you ask me, those who are planning to build a house should be careful and be careful. Don't let others take advantage of you. There are also people who are shameless to pick up the slack."
These words made Aunt Wang's face turn red and white, and everyone who came around looked at her.
Li Xiuxiu was too harsh and unforgiving at all. How could anyone say this clearly?
Wang Shoucai had already lost his face when he stole things before.
Aunt Wang had no choice but to get the Zhao family's attention, so she had to think of other ways.
