To feed dozens of people, it’s not enough to just buy vegetables.
Wulan ordered: "There is also meat. We need to cut 20 kilograms tomorrow. Spare ribs, pork ribs, pork belly, pig's trotters, whatever is fine. We also need some chicken and duck..."
While giving the orders, he was trembling with heartache. The cost of this meal would be quite high!
Especially pork prices have risen again.
Song Tan thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy less meat tomorrow. I'll bring back a few more stewed dishes from the city to save some effort."
We must hurry up and plant all the peach trees tomorrow so that we can't miss out on the lunch. When people in the village interact with each other, money is one aspect, and favors are another.
Speaking of this Ulan, I feel a little worried again.
"Why don't we change the chef tomorrow? I have no experience in cooking for so many people at once! What if the food doesn't taste good? Wouldn't that make people laugh at me?"
Over the years, whenever there is a banquet in the village, a chef is invited to cook. The chef charges a labor fee of 25 to 50 yuan per table. The guests have to prepare their own rice, flour, and rapeseed, and the chef also provides tables, chairs, and benches.
Wulan hasn't cooked for so many people for decades, and she knows the taste of her family's food. She doesn't know why, but the food has become better recently than before. These twenty or thirty people can easily finish the food for forty or fifty people.
Don’t cook rice in the two big pots at home tomorrow. Just stir-fry vegetables. For rice, you will have to borrow a few more rice cookers from the villagers.
There's no rush, so just make do with what you have for now.
Song Tan was also numb.
It is indeed hard work to cook for so many people. No matter how many helpers there are, they still have to do their job.
In the final analysis, the temptation given by the young branch secretary was too great, and she couldn't resist it!
hateful!
Next time the branch secretary comes to my house, I won’t make tea for you.
She thought about it and urged Wu Lan: "Mom, call my aunt and ask her to go to my cousin's house to ask. If it's okay, I'll go over there tomorrow with the things."
If the chef can be negotiated, he will come back in a few days to clean up the house and settle down, and her mother won't have to work so hard in the future.
She can handle a high salary!
Now the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, so cooking is okay. But when it gets hot, it will be a torture to be in the kitchen.
If she really wants her family to suffer, why did she come back this time? Relying on spiritual energy to sell a few potted plants in the city is easier and more profitable than this.
"Yes, yes, this is also a big deal."
In the near future, it concerns everyone's mouth, and in the far future, it concerns Qiao Qiao's life. Wu Lan said while dialing the phone: "Your aunt is the same. Why did I tell you such an important matter just before I left? If I had known, we would have brought a few more jars of honey for your aunt."
Song Tan smiled and said, "My aunt is here. My aunt doesn't want to waste time talking to her."
Wu Lan frowned, "Even if we tell them, their family can't afford it. I don't think your eldest cousin and his wife are that filial either - your eldest aunt may have bad words, but she works hard at home, just like a maid. Do you think your brother and his wife care about her?"
Just because people don’t say anything doesn’t mean they don’t understand.
Take my uncle’s son for example. He only comes home once a year during the Chinese New Year. He usually says he has to work overtime during festivals…
Who hasn’t worked
However, despite this, Wulan still praised her aunt: "Your aunt is still good to you, Tantan, if you have anything good in the future, think of your aunt."
The call here hasn't been made yet, and another call came in.
It’s my aunt Zhou Fangjuan.
"Wulan, why did I hear that your family is hiring people to do farm work?"
Everyone in the neighborhood is related to each other, and if they have any secrets, it seems like they can be traveled back and forth in a day.
My aunt was also chatting when she suddenly heard that her college student niece had come back to farm, and it was quite a large scale. She now hires people to work every day!
When I got home and told my grandmother about it, she was not happy and said to my uncle:
"You are still my brother. The last time Tantan came, she didn't forget you and brought you so many vegetables. She said she was farming at home, but you didn't even ask if you wanted to help?"
My uncle also felt aggrieved: This girl said she wanted to come back to farm, but she used to work in an office. What can she achieve
No one expected this, right
I immediately asked my aunt to make a phone call. There was work to do and it would be unreasonable for my own relatives not to go and help!
Wulan thought about her income during this period. She wanted to show off but also wanted to keep a low profile. However, she felt uncomfortable if she kept a low profile. When she received a call from her aunt, she immediately laughed out loud:
"Yes, sister-in-law, you heard about it too? I said this kid is not calm, and everyone knows about his little things. It's just that he contracted a hill, a small place, how come everyone knows about it..."
You can’t show off how much money you make, but if you rent a mountain, you can at least say something about it.
My aunt raised her voice: "What? She's also doing a contract?! Didn't she say she would raise the family back home?"
After finally hanging up the phone, Wulan saw that Song Sancheng was constantly tagging and calling in the village group. She became anxious and quickly called her aunt:
"Sister, what you talked about with Tan Tan this afternoon..."
Wu Lan went into the house to make a phone call. Qiao Qiao and Zhang Yanping each held a glass of honey water, sitting there happily.
The big bear Pangdudu's butt was stuck in his palm. At this moment, it was squirming desperately. It was furry and had stripes. You could even see some pollen under the light. It was so cute!
Song Tan thought about it and felt something was not right.
She suddenly realized: "Qiao Qiao, you take care of Big Bear every day, where is Big Bear's baby? It's been a month, why hasn't the baby hatched yet?"
Isn’t it said that a bumblebee queen can hatch and raise her babies in a month
Qiao Qiao was also stunned.
He let go of his hand and watched the big bear crawling on his palm. He said in confusion: "I don't know..."
Song Tan turned around and took down the box on top of the utility shed. Daxiong, the unqualified queen, didn't even react at this moment.
Alas, it's really useless except for eating and selling your looks (butt).
When the box was opened, there was a group of immature bumblebees squirming in the box, and there was not a trace of pollen or nectar. It was obvious that the big bear had become fat, unable to work, and had eaten too much, so much so that even the food for its children was gone.
Song Tan: …
No wonder they can't grow even with spiritual energy nourishing them every day. Although I don't expect these bumblebees to work, they are too useless.
In this case—
"Qiao Qiao, bring the big bear with you next time you broadcast live and let it play in front of the camera."
It's not a big deal to make some sacrifices to raise a child.
Zhang Yanping couldn't even drink her honey water.
Even Daxiong has to be forced to sell his body. His sister is really implementing the principle of "not keeping idle people" to the end.
What about him
Will he have to work tomorrow
Should we go dig bamboo shoots or dig holes in the mountains
