Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea
Chapter 17 Seafood Banquet
Chapter 17 Seafood Banquet
The Liu family attached great importance to the "seafood banquet" they had made known in advance. Within a few days, villagers living near Liu's house could smell the aroma of food wafting from the Liu family's yard.
Occasionally, some villagers would gather around under the big tree at the entrance of the village, praising the aroma wafting from Liu's house.
"Does that restaurant really only use seafood for cooking? I have lived by the sea for so many years, and I never knew that seafood can be so delicious."
"That's not true. But if you ask me, the Liu family is extravagant. It's not even the day for the banquet, but now they start wasting food on cooking."
"Hey, what do you know? I heard that the wealthy families in the city didn't want anything to go wrong at the banquet, so they prepared the dishes several times in advance. I just don't know if the Liu family can share these dishes with us."
Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying came back from outside the village carrying two empty wooden barrels. Before they reached the entrance of the village, they heard the sound of the Liu family's seafood banquet being discussed under the tree.
Ever since Cyclamen began to buy sea urchins from Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying, Ye Xiuying borrowed the donkey cart from the village chief's family to rush to the city in the first few days.Ye Xiuying was still thinking about whether to buy a donkey to drive the cart back. It would not be appropriate to borrow the village chief's one all day long.
But later, the Liu family also started collecting sea urchins, and the number of sea urchins they could pick up significantly decreased.And if they are noticed to pick up a lot but don't send it to the Liu family, other people in Guojia Village will notice the abnormality, which will affect the sea urchin business that their mother-in-law and cyclamen have negotiated with Cyclamen.
Therefore, in the past few days, Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying each carried a wooden barrel to the town, and then came back carrying a wooden barrel.
"Sister Xiuying, are you back?"
A familiar aunt greeted Ye Xiuying under the tree. Chang Pingning took the bucket from her mother-in-law so that she could chat with the other aunts.
"The Boehmer family is really discerning." A voice of praise came from under the tree.
"Hey, Girl Ning doesn't like to talk, so it's appropriate to go back and take An An with her." Ye Xiuying walked to the shade of the big tree and waved to Chang Pingning.
Chang Pingning walked in the direction of Guo's house, worried.
Two days ago, Chef Wang specially set up a banquet to thank them for telling him that Liu's cook could also make sea urchin fried rice.At the dinner, he hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that she and her mother-in-law should secretly learn Meng Xia's recipes, which would be expensive.
Chang Pingning didn't like Chef Wang's behavior of stealing lessons, but the sea urchins she and her mother-in-law picked up were going to be sent to Cyclamen, so she couldn't refuse outright.
At that time, Ye Xiuying was not so full of words. She only said that she would contact Meng Xia to see if Chef Wang could buy it directly from Meng Xia.
When they were alone, Chang Pingning listened to her mother-in-law's intention to find an opportunity to contact Meng Xia, see what Meng Xia was like, and then see what to do next.
Therefore, these days, they always look for opportunities to ask if the Liu family's cook still needs help.But no definite news was received, and even the person who collects seafood from the Liu family became Manager Liu.
Until the day of the seafood banquet, there was no news that the Liu family was looking for a woman in Guojia Village to help in the kitchen.
However, the delicious smell of seafood permeates Guojia Village.
"Holy darling, are their dishes really made from harvested seafood?"
"Village chief, help us check if there are any other things in their house while we are eating."
"If it's convenient, village chief, you can bring some more."
The people of Guojia Village gathered around the village chief and kept swallowing their saliva as they watched the village chief going to Liu's house.
The village chief also swallowed secretly, but when he faced the villagers, he still tried hard to keep his face calm, not wanting others to see that he had also been greedy for this smell for several days.
Chang Pingning, who was playing with An An in the yard, also heard the noise coming from outside.But the banquet was today, and she secretly thought that maybe Chef Wang wouldn't be able to steal the lesson as he wished.
"The clan leaders are here!" There was a lot of excitement outside the door again.
Chang Pingning saw An An's eyes wide open, looking curious as if she wanted to go out and have a look. She felt that it was not appropriate to trap An An in the yard now. She would get married and would have plenty of time to stay in the yard.
"Mom, let's take An An out to watch the excitement." Chang Pingning said, "We can't stay at home all the time. The third brother and the fourth brother ran out early in the morning."
After listening to his sister-in-law's words, four-year-old Guo Ling'an pulled on her mother's clothes and kept acting coquettishly: "Mom, An'an wants to see it."
Ye Xiuying sighed, knowing that even the village chief's attitude towards the Liu family had changed now. It would be inappropriate for her to stop An An from going out.
"Go and see."
As Ye Xiuying spoke, Guo Lingan ran towards the courtyard door excitedly, but still stopped in front of the courtyard door and looked back: "Mom, sister-in-law, open the door."
"Here he comes." Chang Pingning walked forward with a smile, opened the courtyard door, and held An An's hand, "Follow my sister-in-law and mother."
The three of them went out and found that not only the clan leader was in the village.There were two or three carriages parked at the entrance of the village, some with official logos, another with a luxurious appearance, and another with a low-key color.
"My dear, did you really invite the county magistrate?"
There were also many people gathered at the entrance of the village.
"No. Hey, look at this car. The richest uncle in town has been invited!"
"It seems that the Liu family is really planning to settle in our village, and they have spent a lot of money on this meal."
"Otherwise, exile... well, that's what it is. People who come here always have to make up for their mistakes. I said, if we are invited to have a meal, there is nothing that we can't overcome."
"Hey, did they offend us? Just treat us to a meal."
Chang Pingning listened for a while and felt a little bored. He looked at his mother-in-law and prepared to move forward with Guo Ling'an.
Unexpectedly, Guo Ling'an seemed to smell something on the way. He kept sniffing with his nose. While smelling, he took the initiative to hold Chang Pingning's hand and walked forward.
Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying looked at each other and saw Liu Zhai appearing not far ahead.
Guo Ling'an was attracted by the aroma of Liu's food.
After taking a closer look at the outer wall of Liuzhai, there were many children under the age of ten lying on their backs, constantly smelling the aroma coming from inside the wall.
"Mom, the third and fourth brothers are here too. Save yourself the trouble of looking for them." Chang Pingning said to Ye Xiuying in a funny way.
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Ling'an broke away from Chang Pingning's hand and ran straight behind his two brothers, squeezing in between them.
"Okay, we can save the three of them for lunch later." Ye Xiuying also looked at her three children in a funny way, "I can smell it even if I lie on the outer wall."
"Then we have to thank the Liu family for saving a lot of food for everyone." A familiar sister-in-law took Ye Xiuying's words and took a deep breath of the aroma in the air, "Don't talk about their children. Even I feel full just by smelling it.”
"That's not me. The more I smell it, the hungrier I get." Another sister-in-law, who had a round face and a happy smile, held her stomach with a smile.
