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 visit, the village chief can't just turn a deaf ear and dumb. He has to step 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 smart?" Li Taohua said, "But it's a good thing that you can see so clearly. You three listen to me, 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 want that kind of man. Another thing is gambling. Apart from the gambling house owner, I haven't heard of any man who can get rich by gambling. You must not marry or be a gambler, do you understand?"
"I understand, Mom." The three 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 taught the children such important truths." Tang Dafu said, "It is a blessing for them to have a mother like you."
Li Taohua rolled her eyes beautifully: "You are sick."
"Mom, we bought roast duck, and we can just stir-fry a few other dishes. I invited Third Grandpa 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."
"good."
During dinner, Mr. Tang San came. As soon as he entered the room, he sighed and said to Tang Dafu, "Fortunately, your parents passed away early, otherwise, Carpenter Zhang's family would be in trouble too."
"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 spareribs, 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 that so many dishes wouldn't seem crowded.
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, no matter how many worries they had, they were no longer worried. What's more, what they were worrying about just now were other people's affairs, so it would not affect their meal at all.
"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 eat with a better appetite, I won't talk about the unhappy things, but I have something happy to say."
"What happy things happened to you when you came to the city?" Li Taohua asked.
"We met the boy Chen." Mr. Tang San said, "The boy will study in the academy in the county town for a month, and will go to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination in a month."
"Big brother is really amazing." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Big brother, is there anything you 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. Other daily necessities will be provided by the academy, but he said we don't need to bring him any." 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 guys, you know the money first, right?" Li Taohua couldn't wait and took it to look at 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 have to prepare the ingredients for the stall during these two days, and I have to focus on making the sauce."
"No problem, I'll leave it to you. I'll definitely make sure you don't fail to deliver the goods." Li Taohua said, "We have to pick the mushrooms. Do we need to hire someone to do this?"
"Does my eldest brother, who often fetches water and firewood for us, have any unemployed sisters-in-law at home? If they are free, they can help pick some mushrooms. But it is not convenient to do this for a long time, so I plan to get some things 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, you can plant anything that has seeds."
“Do mushrooms have seeds?”
"The powder on the mature mushrooms is the spores, which are their seeds." Qin Huiyin said, "There's no rush, take your time, let's talk about this business first. This order is long-term, and I have a feeling that there will be more orders later, so it will be very busy next time, everyone should be prepared at any time."
"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. This family was different from the Wang family. They never came to the house to cause trouble and usually lived behind closed doors.
"Is she okay?"
"She said she wanted to sell the house and asked us if we wanted it. She wouldn't ask for too much, just two taels of silver."
Her house is very run-down and not worth the money. However, the foundation is valuable! If you buy her house, you can demolish it 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 that the house her son and daughter-in-law lived in was newly built later. It was said that the daughter-in-law didn't like the shabby house they had now and said she would only be willing to marry into the family after they built a new house."
"That's right. After the new house was built, she still didn't want to live with her parents-in-law. She let her parents-in-law 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 is not cheap, but it is still a good deal to buy this location. This way we can build a more spacious house. It will be more convenient to grow some vegetables by enclosing the yard." Li Taohua said, looking at Qin Huiyin, "What do you think, my girl?"
"I also like it to be more spacious." 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."
