Chapter 110 Celebration
"What about now?" Qin Huiyin asked, "Is the matter resolved?"
"Your uncle is her maternal family member after all. Now that her maternal family members have come to her door, the village chief can't just turn a deaf ear and dumb. He stepped in to smooth things over."
"It's not so easy to correct a gambler. Even if his hands are crippled, he will still crawl to the gambling table and then use his feet to get on the table." Qin Huiyin said.
"You girl, aren't you too cunning?" Li Taohua said, "But it's a good thing you can see so clearly. Listen up, the three of you. The most useless things in this world are whoring and gambling. A man can be lustful, as long as he can afford to marry and support her, that's his freedom. But if he goes to a brothel, don't marry him. And then there's gambling. Apart from gambling owners, I've never heard of a man who got rich from gambling. You absolutely can't marry or be a gambler, do you understand?"
"I understand, Mom." The three of them said in unison.
Tang Dafu looked at Li Taohua with obsessed eyes.
Li Taohua's scalp tingled when he looked at her: "What are you doing?"
"Wife, you are so virtuous and you teach the children such important lessons." Tang Dafu said, "They are so lucky to have a mother like you."
Li Taohua rolled her eyes beautifully: "You're sick."
"Mom, we bought roast duck, and we can just stir-fry a few other dishes. I invited Third Uncle to come over for a drink, and he'll come over when it's time for dinner."
"Okay." Li Taohua moved her arms. "I'm a little tired. I want to rest for a while. Call me later."
"it is good."
During dinner, Mr. Tang San arrived. As soon as he entered the room, he sighed and said to Tang Dafu, "It's a good thing your parents passed away early, otherwise, it would be troublesome just like Carpenter Zhang's family."
"What's going on?" Tang Dafu put the jar of wine on the table.
Several children brought the dishes to the table.
Qin Huiyin made Maoxuewang, garlic pork, braised pork ribs, ants climbing trees, stir-fried cabbage, and a light cucumber vermicelli soup today.
The roast duck was also taken out of the oil paper package, steamed in the pot, and then the dough and side dishes were placed on the plate.
Fortunately, they changed to a bigger table, so the table wouldn't look crowded with so many dishes.
When Mr. Tang San saw so many dishes and his favorite wine, the melancholy on his face disappeared.
When Tang Dafu asked him, he waved his hand and said, "Let's eat. Don't talk about unhappy things. Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
When they sat on the table and saw so many delicious foods, all their worries disappeared. What's more, they were just worrying about other people's affairs, so it couldn't affect their meal at all.
"My girl, this is so delicious." Tang Dafu said to Qin Huiyin, "Although it's spicy, the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it."
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Then eat more. In order to make you have a better appetite, I won't talk about those unhappy things, but I have something happy to tell you."
"What happy things happened to you when you came to the city?" Li Taohua asked.
"We've met that kid, Chen." Third Master Tang said, "He's going to study at the academy in the county town for a month, and then he's going to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination."
"Big brother is really amazing." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Big brother, is there anything I need? Can we bring it to him next time we go into the city?"
"We have used up the sauce we brought for him, so we will bring him some sauce next time. The other daily necessities will be provided by the academy, but he said we don't need to bring them for him." Qin Huiyin said.
"Why did you use up all of Big Brother's sauce?"
"Of course, it's because we used the sauce to negotiate a new business." Qin Huiyin took out the contract and handed it to Tang Yi with a smile, "Now it's time to test you. See how many words you can recognize."
Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu gathered together to look at the words on the contract.
"Three taels and seven hundred wen, with a deposit of one tael of silver." Tang Yi said with a smile, pointing at the words.
"You know the money first, kid, right?" Li Taohua couldn't wait any longer and took it over to examine it carefully. "A bottle of sauce costs thirty cents, and the other party wants one hundred and twenty-one bottles."
"This is for three days, but we only have two days now, so you guys have to prepare the ingredients for the stall during these two days while I focus on making the sauce."
"No problem, I'll leave it to you. I'll definitely make sure you don't fail to deliver." Li Taohua said, "The mushrooms need to be picked. Do we need to hire someone for this?"
"Does my eldest brother, who often fetches water and firewood for us, have any unused wives at home? If they're free, they could help pick some mushrooms. But it's not convenient to do this for a long time, so I plan to get some supplies to grow mushrooms myself."
"Can mushrooms be grown?" Tang Dafu looked at Li Taohua in confusion.
Li Taohua shook her head: "I don't know either."
"Yes, anything with seeds can be planted."
“Do mushrooms have seeds?”
"The powder on mature mushrooms is spores, or their seeds," Qin Huiyin said. "Don't rush it. Take your time. Let's talk about this business first. This order is long-term, and I have a feeling there will be more orders later, so it will be very busy next time. Everyone should be prepared at all times."
"What do we need to prepare?" asked Tang Dafu.
"Be prepared to spend time and energy, because it will be very busy." Qin Huiyin said, "Not to mention we have to build a new house."
"I like this favor," Li Taohua said. "It's better than not making any money. But speaking of building a house, Aunt Yu from next door came to see me today."
Aunt Yu was the neighbor on the other side. Unlike the Wang family, this family never came to the door to cause trouble and usually lived their lives behind closed doors.
"Is there something wrong with her?"
"She said she wanted to sell the house and asked if we wanted it. She wouldn't ask for too much, just two taels of silver."
Her house is in such a state of disrepair that it's not worth the money. However, the foundation is valuable! If we buy her house, we can tear it down and rebuild a new one with a larger area.
"Why does she want to sell the house?" asked Tang Dafu.
"Her daughter wants to take her to live in the city. Now only she and her husband live in this shabby house, and her son and daughter-in-law live at the other end of the village." Li Taohua said.
"I remember the house her son and daughter-in-law lived in was newly built later. It was said that the daughter-in-law disliked the dilapidated house and said she would only marry into the family after they built a new one."
"That's right. After building the new house, she still didn't want to live with her parents-in-law. She let them continue to live in the old house while the couple lived in the new house." Mr. Tang San continued to add.
"Two taels of silver isn't cheap, but it's a good deal to buy this location. This way we can build a more spacious house. We can also enclose the yard and grow some vegetables more conveniently." Li Taohua said, looking at Qin Huiyin, "What do you think, my daughter?"
"I like it to be more spacious too." To avoid hearing things that are not suitable for children.
"Do you think it's feasible?" Li Taohua asked, "If it's possible, I'll talk to her tomorrow."
"Go ahead, I think it's okay." Qin Huiyin said, "Okay, let's stop talking. Let's eat the food quickly. It's getting cold."
