Chapter 54 No need to resort to any means
After Hua’s father and Hua’s mother calmed down, Hua’s mother asked, “Chun Li, Xia Li, Chun Li has been admitted to college, do you want to do it? A banquet for college entrance, please Are you all going to come over for dinner?”
“Of course, how can we see everyone’s colorful faces if we don’t do it?” Hua Xiali said, not only did she invite people to dinner, she also invited the whole village. People are coming to eat!
“You!” Mother Hua pushed Hua Xia Li’s arm helplessly, “Don’t you have to spend money on hosting a college entrance banquet? It’s not easy for you to make money!”
“Don’t worry. Well, I promise to host the entrance banquet beautifully without spending much money." Hua Xiali patted her chest and said confidently.
Hua Mu took the calendar over, flipped it over, and said, "The 25th is a good day, so let's hold a college entrance banquet on the 25th!"
Hua Xiali nodded, "Okay, then eldest sister Call all your relatives and I will take care of the things needed for the banquet.”
There are still nine days left, so there is plenty of time, so don’t rush.
The best time to pick bamboo fungus is June. Now it is mid-August. Naturally, there is no bamboo fungus to pick. Hua Xiali doesn’t have to rush to her fourth uncle’s house every night, so she now You can concentrate on preparing for the college entrance banquet.
This season, every household is not short of fruits and vegetables, but the fruits and vegetables in Hua Xiali’s yard are irrigated with spiritual spring water. She doesn’t want to take advantage of irrelevant people, so she has a good relationship. Someone bought fruits and vegetables and asked them to deliver them to her house on the night of the 24th, so that they could process them early in the morning on the 25th.
When Hua Xiali goes to wholesale pigs every morning, she also wholesales some meat and puts it into the Lingquan space for storage. She can just take it out on the morning of the 25th.
In order to save money, Hua Xiali asked her third uncle to go out at night to help her catch some frogs. Frogs are also edible, and the frogs sold in the vegetable market in the previous life were quite expensive!
Hua Xiali also asked her third aunt to go to the field ridges and fields to help her pick purslane, white amaranth and bitter hemp. This would count as three dishes and she could save some money.
Because it is Hua Chunli’s college entrance banquet, it must not be shabby. With meat, fish naturally comes, but to host so many tables, a lot of fish is needed. If you buy it, you will need to spend a lot of money. There was little money, so Hua Xiali decided to catch fish by herself, so she carried a wooden bucket to a ditch only a few dozen meters away from her home to catch fish.
I don’t know what’s going on here. Very few people eat fish, especially small fish with lots of spines in the wild, so the fish swim in groups in the ditch, which is very wanton. Free and easy.
Hua Xiali directly used the triangular net she made herself, copying it from one end to the other. When she picked up the triangular net, there were a bunch of small river fish and shrimps jumping around in it, and even a palm-sized black Carrying a big crucian carp is something that even money can’t buy in the future!
Aquatic resources are very abundant in rural waters these days. Even a small puddle has many kinds of fish in it.
Hua Xiali was able to raise her two sons by herself in her previous life, but in fact they were inseparable from these aquatic products. Others were unwilling to buy small fish and thought it was too troublesome to deal with them, so she would The small fish are collected and cleaned before being sold, so that everyone can buy them back and process them directly.
After all, eels are not so easy to catch in winter. How does she make money when she can’t catch eels? Isn’t it just relying on these free things from the countryside?
Hua Xiali quickly caught a bucket of small river fish. She took the big black-backed crucian carp into the space and kept it, and then went home with a bucket of small river fish. Small river fish are not easy to feed, and there are so many in the bucket. The ones inside will soon die from lack of oxygen, so Hua Xiali quickly took out the small river fish, washed them, and put them on a dustpan to dry in the sun. The dried small fish will not break into pieces when processed.
To hold a college entrance banquet, there need to be so many banquets, and just a bucket of small river fish is simply not enough, so Hua Xiali took advantage of the cool morning and evening to go out with the bucket to catch, and caught several in a row God, she was so tired.
On the 25th, Zhang Yongfeng no longer goes out to set up a stall, and his family no longer does the braised food business. Everyone has been busy since the morning.
The men helped borrow tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans from other people’s homes, while the women prepared banquets at home.
Hua Xia Li made fried frogs with green peppers, spicy dried fish, braised pork and potatoes, and scrambled eggs with leeks. The third aunt was responsible for making braised eggplant, cold purslane, fried white amaranth and fried bitter sesame; The fourth aunt cooked cucumbers, fried beans with shredded pork, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and pork ribs and luffa soup. This division of labor and cooperation resulted in a table of twelve dishes.
There are more than 300 people in their flower village, but all the young people are working in the city, so there are not many people staying in the village, probably about 200 people!
There are eight people at a table, plus children, and about twelve people can sit at one table, so twenty tables need to be opened, but now there are only ten tables arranged, so we can only eat in batches. First Once one batch has eaten, the second batch will be served.
Hua Xiali did not let Hua's mother interfere, and asked Hua's mother to take good care of Hua's father. She and Hua Qiuli cooked together, and Hua Qiuli helped her light the fire.
Hua's mother had cleaned up Hua's father in the morning, and together with Hua Chunli, helped Hua's father sit on a chair in the yard. At eight or nine o'clock, people started to come to visit. .
Everyone who came shook hands with Hua’s father and congratulated him. It was a double happiness. His eldest daughter was admitted to college and he could sit up. Looking at everyone’s flattering faces, Hua Chunli felt funny. After all, she had seen with her own eyes what people had done to her family before, and now looking at such a scene, she really felt relieved!
It turns out that you don’t need to take any measures to retaliate against others. As long as you work harder and become a better person, you are already retaliating against others invisibly.
Hua Xia Li knows that their family is hosting a college entrance banquet. If they accept the gift, everyone will definitely scold their family for being crazy about money and eating badly, so they are notifying everyone to attend the college entrance banquet. At that time, Hua Xiali made it clear that no red envelopes or gifts were needed, just bring your mouth to eat.
Everyone who comes first greets Hua Fu, congratulates Hua Fu, and expresses congratulations to Hua Chunli, and then finds a seat early to sit down, hoping to be the first to eat.
Anyway, I have nothing to do, just wait and see. I just want to chat with everyone for a while.
Hua Chunli, as today’s protagonist, naturally followed Hua’s mother to entertain the guests. Some people also asked Hua’s mother to introduce Hua Xiali to a partner. After all, Hua Chunli was admitted to university and would be there after graduation. If you can directly serve the iron rice bowl, you will be safe for the rest of your life, and you will definitely help your sister when the time comes.
