The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 1386 Sixtieth Birthday Banquet
"I haven't been back to my hometown for too long, and I'm not familiar with things there. I'll leave the preparations to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. As for all the expenses and losses caused by your suspension of business during this period, I will bear all the expenses."

Bai Meixi took out 5000 yuan from her bag and asked the eldest brother of the Bai family to celebrate He Shaoying's birthday according to the standard of 60 tables.

In addition to hanging red lanterns and setting off firecrackers, birthday peaches and Western-style cakes had to be prepared so that He Shaoying could celebrate his birthday in style.

"No problem, you contribute the money, and we should contribute."

This time my sister-in-law happily agreed. Banquets in rural areas are very cheap, only 40 to 4000 yuan per table. Even if you include a theater troupe and other various things, [-] yuan is enough.

The amount given by Bai Meixi includes a lot of hard work, and my sister-in-law naturally understands it.

Bai Huli was jealous and wanted to make quick money, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was blocked by her sister-in-law.

"This kind of birthday banquet is always hosted by the eldest son. If the daughter takes the lead, others will think that all the males in the family are dead."

The sister-in-law collected the money and went back to the village early the next morning to plan the construction of a new house and hold a birthday banquet.

With the money, everything went smoothly. They soon found the cook who would cook the village banquet, and he helped buy things for the village banquet.

"We haven't been this lively in a long time. The few birthday banquets I did before only had seven or eight tables. This old lady is really rich. You children are also filial. Others would not be willing to spend so much money."

The cook was from another village and didn't know much about He Shaoying's family. After he received this big order, he naturally wanted to compliment him and ask the family to introduce a few more guests. Such a big order would be worth the price. It would be better if he prepared village banquets for several villages.

"Our old lady is very picky. She either doesn't do it, or if she wants to do it, she has to do it with the best. There should be no less than twelve dishes per table, and she must have good intentions. Pork, whole chicken, and live fish are essential. , the main banquet must also include beef, mutton and live shrimp, and other seasonal vegetables are also selected from the freshest. The standard price per table is 40 yuan, and the main banquet is 60 yuan.”

The eldest brother of the Bai family stated in one breath the standards set by He Shaoying before. He had no intention of deducting food money at the birthday banquet. Everything was done according to the best standards at the village banquet.

In this era, a banquet table in the city only costs about 60 yuan, and the better ones can reach 80 yuan. If the village banquet has such a standard, you can have a good meal.

"I understand, I understand, I will definitely do it. I know a person who works in a slaughterhouse. He can get fresh offal and pig head meat. Some people also make a living by picking mountain products in the mountains. Those mountain mushrooms are full of flavor when cooking. I guarantee that they will be cooked well." This village banquet was held in good stead.”

After the cook received the advance payment, he left with a lot of gratitude. The boss of the Bai family approached the village chief again and wanted to coordinate the venue issue.

The courtyard of his house would certainly not be able to accommodate sixty banquets. He had to use the long street and ancestral hall in the village, which had to be approved by the village chief.

The village chief was also very happy when he heard that they were going to host sixty banquets. It had been a long time since anyone in this village had organized such a grand event, so it would be nice if everyone got together to have a lively event.

"Now our Baijia Village is different from the past. Every household is developing side businesses, and some people come here to buy them. If you want to come back for development, you can also rent a piece of land to plant fruit trees first. There is not much good land now, and only There are still some vacant areas on the mountain." The village chief pointed to the barren mountain. At this time, the eldest brother of the Bai family discovered that the mountains that were originally only barren grass had been planted with many trees, and there were many nets around these trees. to divide the land of each family.

"These saplings were loaned to us by others, with an interest-free period of three years. We will repay them after the harvest is harvested. Such a good thing is a rare opportunity."

The village chief was very pleased to see the fruit trees on the mountain. For so many years, Baijia Village has relied on the mine to survive, but since the mine became half-dead, the pressure on him suddenly increased. He didn't know how to lead the villagers out of poverty. Get rich.

Fortunately, this place has been spotted, and they have provided funds and technology to allow the villagers to start their own side businesses. Otherwise, Baijia Village will have to be classified as a poverty-stricken county next year, and then he will have a black hair on his head But there is no guarantee.

"Let's forget it. Business in the city cannot be separated from people. Even if we need land, we can't grow it."

After thinking about it, the eldest brother of the Bai family refused. He was used to living in the city and could not return to the village to continue living a life with his face turned to the earth and his back turned to the sky. What's more, Xiaowei also planned to develop in Yuelou City and return to the village. The number of visits is very limited. If the in-laws had not insisted on having a house in their hometown, they would not have been willing to come back and renovate their ancestral home.

"Village chief, don't listen to him. Let's farm. In fact, when we come back this time, we plan to build a house. Our son will also get married here in the future. What can we do without land?"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Bai family is very smart. She feels that these lands should not be given away. Even if they don't come back, they can still be farmed by others and they can get an extra income every month.

"Come back, come back. Our village is developing the fastest in the surrounding villages and towns. It will definitely be more comfortable for you to come back than to stay outside."

The village chief hoped that young people who left the village would come back to develop, so he immediately approved the Bai family's land application and gave them a piece of hillside land in the back mountain to contract.

The Bai family's sister-in-law went over to take a look and found that this land was suitable for planting fruit trees, and someone had built a wooden house on the mountainside. Three or four people could live in it, which would be convenient for visiting the orchard in the future.

"You idiot, you almost gave such a good place to someone else."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Bai family is very satisfied with this place, but the eldest brother of the Bai family has a sad look on her face. According to the provisions of the contract, they cannot leave this land unused. They must plant crops within half a year. Otherwise, not only the contract fee will have to be returned. Everything in the village, including the land, will be taken back.

"What's so difficult about this? We've been farming for so many years. Why can't we still plant an orchard? What's more, there are so many brothers in my family. It's okay to leave this place to them."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Bai family had already planned to ask her natal brothers to come and help. The village where they lived did not have much land, and each household could not get much. The harvested food was not enough to feed the family. Now they have this orchard. , and you can make a lot more money.

"You know how to help your natal brothers. If it weren't for helping them, we would have saved enough money over the years to build a three-story building here."

The eldest brother of the Bai family is quite critical of his daughter-in-law. After their current situation has improved in the past few years, the eldest sister-in-law of the Bai family has always been subsidizing her parents' family. She has to spend a lot of money every month, and she doesn't know when the end will begin. .
