Chapter 64: Reincarnation of a Greedy Ghost
Ruan Chuxia waved her hand and said with a soothing smile, "It's okay. The price your cousin quoted me was much cheaper than the market price. Everyone needs money urgently sometimes."
"That's fine, I'll give him an extra hundred dollars a day. But I also have a requirement: he has to use the best materials."
Ruan Chuxia added.
"Oh, thank you so much! Don't worry, I'll supervise him once the work starts and make sure your Chinese medicine clinic becomes the most beautiful in town!"
Hu Li was so grateful that she didn't know what to say.
She was wrong in doing this.
Everyone will look down on people who set a price and then go back on their word and increase the quantity.
Fortunately, Ruan Chuxia is tolerant, generous and understanding.
Ruan Chuxia didn't take it too seriously.
Anyway, this amount of decoration fee is nothing to her.
The key is that the other party has a righteous heart and clean hands.
But she still asked curiously, "Sister-in-law Hu Li, what's the name of your distant relative?"
"His name is Hu Xiu Yu, and he's my distant cousin," Hu Li explained.
"He lives in the countryside, farming with his wife. They leave home early and return late every day. Although it's hard work, he enjoys it. As the burden on his family increases, he can't make much money from farming alone. So, in recent years, he made up his mind to learn interior design. He works during the day and practices hard at night."
Hu Xiu Yu?
When she heard this name, Ruan Chuxia's heart moved slightly, as if she had heard this name somewhere before.
But soon she shook her head again.
There are too many people named "Xiu Yu" in this era.
People with the surname Hu are not uncommon.
Maybe I'm too sensitive.
Thinking of this, she didn't delve into it any further.
After watching Hu Li leave with a smile, Ruan Chuxia turned back to the kitchen and continued to work.
I saw her wearing an apron, busy around the stove.
After a while, the cottage was filled with tempting aroma.
At night.
The doorbell rang, and Xiao Zhiyu and Cai Zhixu appeared at the door.
Chen Rong followed closely behind him and entered the room together.
"Sister-in-law, what are you cooking?"
Before Chen Rong even walked in, he couldn't wait to ask, "I can smell the aroma right outside the door! I'm so greedy! I'm almost drooling just from smelling it!"
As he said this, he had already squeezed through the threshold and was looking into the kitchen.
I want to take a sneak peek to see what delicious food is available today.
"No future!"
Xiao Zhiyu, who was already used to it, reached out and tapped Chen Rong's head gently a few times, speaking with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Ouch!"
Chen Rong couldn't help but frown in pain and covered the place where he was hit with his hand.
"Okay, headman, since you got your sister-in-law, have you not eaten in the cafeteria?"
Chen Rong retorted sourly, "You're so lucky, you get to taste your sister-in-law's cooking every day. Unlike me, I have to squeeze into a dormitory with other guys, with no one to take care of me and no one to cook for me."
As Chen Rong spoke, his voice became choked.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Zhiyu just sneered and did not respond directly.
But judging from the upturned corners of his mouth, he was still very happy.
Cai Zhixu, who was standing a little further away and observing everything silently, couldn't help but lick his lips, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Hmm...you know what, it really smells good!"
Cai Zhixu muttered to himself.
The tempting aroma floats in the air, as if it can whet one's appetite.
Cai Zhixu rubbed his hands and became a little excited.
"The meal is ready, please sit down!"
Ruan Chuxia came out carrying dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing the three men with eager eyes at the door, I couldn't help but be speechless.
Their eyes were fixed on the kitchen, as if afraid of missing anything.
One after another.
It's like a greedy ghost reincarnated, no one should laugh at me!
She shook her head and chuckled softly.
"Go and help serve the dishes."
Xiao Zhiyu kicked Chen Rong lightly.
He rolled up his sleeves and strode into the kitchen.
Wait until all the dishes are on the table.
Sweet and sour spare ribs, three fresh vegetables, sea bass soup, dry pot cauliflower, chicken stewed with mushrooms...
"Sister-in-law, today is too rich!"
Chen Rong kept swallowing his saliva while watching, his eyes never leaving the food.
Wow, these are good stuff.
It’s good enough to be able to eat a few things here!
Especially the ribs...
These are rare things that you can’t buy even if you have money!
He couldn't help swallowing.
Ruan Chuxia sat down next to Xiao Zhiyu, picked up the bowl, and said calmly, "We have guests, let's have something good to eat and have some fun together."
As she spoke, she opened a bottle of white wine.
That is a special wine that only the important people in the team can enjoy.
Chen Rong widened his eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart!
He felt a little uneasy in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Xiao Zhiyu cautiously.
really!
Xiao Zhiyu's expression changed at some point.
The face was tense at this moment, and the expression was very gloomy!
Xiao Zhiyu stared at Ruan Chuxia's little face and clenched his fists.
His face grew darker.
In the past, Ruan Chuxia had cooked and entertained his friends.
But this is the first time that the feast is as sumptuous as today's, with special wine being served as the entertainment.
This obvious differential treatment is simply unbearable!
Xiao Zhiyu raised his eyelids tiredly and glanced at Cai Zhixu beside him.
I saw the other person with a greedy look on his face, staring at the white wine in front of him.
The drooling look made him sneer.
Why does Cai Zhixu look like he has never eaten anything good?
Ruan Chuxia heard the voice, raised her head and looked at him, her face full of confusion.
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold last night?"
"If you really have caught a cold, I can give you acupuncture and prescribe some medicine."
Ruan Chuxia continued.
Xiao Zhiyu endured it again and again, but he became more and more annoyed!
What on earth made him so dissatisfied?
He didn't know either, but he felt very unhappy when he saw this kid Cai Zhixu!
Chen Rong was holding a bowl at the side, watching with fear.
At this time, I didn't dare to say much, I just lowered my head and ate my meal silently.
He felt that this scene was too terrifying and was afraid that he would get into trouble if he was not careful.
never mind!
He has no right to interfere in the headman's family affairs.
Instead of worrying about that, it’s better to eat more!
Different from the silence of Xiao Zhiyu and Chen Rong.
Cai Zhixu and Ruan Chuxia had a very pleasant chat.
They both come from families of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
Cai Zhixu never expected that he would meet someone who also knew medicine in such a remote place!
"This is the first time I've heard of such a case. It's really interesting."
"Is this written in your family's ancestral book?"
Cai Zhixu's eyes lit up.
When he started talking about his major, he even forgot to eat.
Ruan Chuxia smiled, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
"This is not it. My grandfather wrote it based on his experience."
She sighed softly and said regretfully.
