Chapter 35 Spicy Potatoes

After Hua Xiali returned home and got the basket, he walked towards the elementary school with Hua Si Nian. As they walked, Hua Si Nian said, "Xia Li, will you go to Qingmei's wedding?"

We are all from the same village and need to show up at weddings and funerals.

Hua Xiali might go to other people's weddings or funerals, but she would not go to Hua Qingmei's wedding. Although the tragedy of her previous life was caused by Wang Liang and herself, Hua Qingmei knew the world inside the grass bead bracelet, but did not tell her, but took away her opportunity and moved with her family.

If Hua Qingmei had told her about this in her previous life and suggested that the two of them share this spiritual spring space, or asked her to give some to Hua Qingmei, she would not have hated Hua Qingmei so much. It was obviously hers, but Hua Qingmei took it all for herself. It would be strange if she didn't hate her.

What does it have to do with her if Hua Qingmei gets married? Her mother has already given her twenty eggs, isn't that enough?

If her mother had not already sent the eggs over, she would not have wanted to give Hua Qingmei even a pile of chicken shit.

The terrain behind the elementary school is relatively high, and the soil is very dry. Even weeds cannot grow well, let alone growing crops. Hua Xiali feels helpless when she sees such a large piece of land lying waste here without being used properly. It's a pity that she doesn't have so much money now, otherwise she would definitely buy this piece of land.

Even though the house will be demolished in twenty years, there are still twenty years left. She can use this land to make more money for herself in these twenty years!

There are quite a lot of wild garlic here, with clusters of emerald green wild garlic growing together. After Hua Xiali and Hua Si Nian arrived at the place, they stopped talking and squatted down to start digging wild garlic.

With a shovel, the wild garlic was dug out. I picked up the wild garlic, shook off the dirt on it, and put it in the basket.

The two of them didn't chat, they just concentrated on digging wild garlic, so they soon dug a large handful. They were not greedy, and it was enough for the whole family to eat for a day, so they went back quickly.

After lunch, Hua Xiali, with the help of his mother, moved all the things needed for the snack stand onto the wooden cart. Hua Xiali dusted off his hands and said, "Mom, I don't know what time I will be back in the evening, so you don't have to wait for me to eat dinner. Just leave the door open for me, and don't let my brother-in-law come to pick me up. I will take these tools to my uncle's house, so I don't have to work so hard to push them back."

Hua's mother's throat was choked with sobs and she nodded, "Hey, be careful."

"Don't worry, Mom!" Hua Xiali smiled brightly. It was just a stall. Nothing would happen. There was no urban management now. It would only be in place in seven years. Even if there was, there would be no such thing in their town or the county seat. In her previous life, she moved to the city with her children when they were in junior high school. She had lived in the city for decades and had never seen such a situation.

Hua's mother helped Hua Xiali push the wooden cart out of the yard. Hua Xiali put the rope on his shoulder and set off dragging the wooden cart.

Hua's mother stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Hua Xiali's thin back. She couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red as she carried the whole family. She felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Now the eldest and the youngest are both oblivious to the world outside and focus on reading sage books. They don't have to worry about anything, and the burden of the family falls on Xia Li and Zhang Yongfeng.

I hope I can really make money from setting up the snack stand, so that Xia Li can return to class as soon as possible. It would be a shame for him not to take the college entrance examination if he gets awards every year.

Hua Xiali dragged a cart full of things with great difficulty to the high school gate. She parked the cart there, walked into the shade, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. She would wait to see if she could put the things in the yard of Hua Chunli's dormitory, as it would be closer there.

After all, my uncle's house is still twenty minutes away from here. And if you leave things at my uncle's house every day, you must give him some benefits, otherwise he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Hua Xiali." Hua Xiali was just about to talk to the guard and ask him to let her in when she saw the principal walking towards her from the playground.

"Hello, Principal." Hua Xiali quickly saluted the principal.

The principal was very excited when he saw that it was really Hua Xiali. "Hua Xiali, are you back to school?"

Hua Xiali shook his head apologetically and pointed at the things on the wooden cart. "I'm here to set up a stall. I can't come back to teach this year because my father is still unable to get up and needs acupuncture treatment every two weeks. I plan to earn some money first and then take my father to the city hospital for a check-up."

The principal took a look at the things on the wooden cart and realized that she was going to set up a snack stand. "Did you push this cart over from the country?"

Hua Xiali nodded, "Yes, but it would take quite some time to get these things from the countryside, so I plan to ask my sister if I can put these things in the dormitory yard, which would save me a lot of trouble."

"Put it behind the gatekeeper from now on!" said the principal.

Hua Xiali's eyes lit up, and he was filled with joy. He thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Principal."

The high school opens at 5am and closes at 11pm, so she can push the teppanyaki in at any time. It's really perfect.

The principal spoke to the security guard in the guard booth and turned back. Hua Xiali thanked the security guard repeatedly, then quickly found a spot across the street, set up his own stall, and then lit a fire to fry potatoes. After they were done, he packed a portion and sent it to the security guard.

This is a Y-shaped intersection, where three roads meet. The passenger flow is very large. Even in the middle of the afternoon, people can be seen walking by from time to time.

Hua Xiali began to shout, "Spicy potatoes, free to try. If they don't taste good, you don't have to pay. If they taste good, you can buy them later..."

When they heard that the tasting was free, people passing by stopped one after another. Hua Xia handed each of them a bamboo stick and let them pick up a potato and eat it.

After everyone tasted the potatoes, their eyes lit up. They never thought that potatoes cooked in this way could be so delicious.

As soon as they asked about the price, some people started to back off, thinking that it was not a good deal. Potatoes that used to cost 5 cents a pound were now sold for 50 cents a portion, and they didn't even know whether a portion contained a pound. No matter how they thought about it, they felt they were being cheated.

If some people are reluctant to buy something, there will naturally be others who are willing to buy it. After some people ask the price, they will immediately take out money to buy it.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, school was over. Day students or students who lived outside went out to have dinner, and those who lived in the dormitory went to the cafeteria to eat. Hua Xiali had a food tasting activity, and many people stopped in front of her stall. The more people stopped, the more people bought, and Hua Xiali's income naturally increased.

When there were fewer and fewer people in front of the stall, Hua Xiali saw Hua Chunli coming over.

"Sister, have you had dinner?" Hua Xiali asked with a smile.
