Chapter 91 Peeping
Lin Li put the vegetables in a small iron basin, placed it in a wooden box used for making tofu, and then used wooden boards to make partitions.
Lin Fu is very skilled at riding a bicycle and often does jobs like "transporting vegetables".
Usually, it was the eldest sister-in-law who cooked, and Lin Fu was responsible for going to the mountain to deliver meals to Lin Rong and Lin Hua.
He can ride his bike on mountain roads without any problems.
So it is better to take the flat road.
Before leaving, Lin Li asked him to take good care of Liu Jinduo.
He agreed obediently and pushed his bicycle out.
Lin Li asked his sister-in-law to chop the other three fried carps in half, giving each table exactly half, and divided the portions among the six tables for the diners and neighbors.
Everyone still had to wait patiently until the waiters at each table brought the fish for their table.
When the most prestigious person at the table gave the order "eat", people started to take their food in a reserved manner, but they were already eating faster and faster, wanting to eat more.
"It's really strange! Since ancient times, the fish in this river have been fed with mud and grown up! Their stomachs are full of mud smell! But how can we cook this river fish so delicious?!" The elder sister-in-law who used to roll her eyes stopped rolling her eyes this time and just kept talking.
"Only Old Liu is stupid. He even said something like how dare a farmer compete with the chefs in the city! When he comes back, let him taste the remaining minced fish!" a certain elder brother suggested.
Others thought this was a good idea.
I just agreed with him.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. At this time, Lin Rong and Old Liu both returned exhausted.
They are two grown men riding bicycles fast.
Plus, there was no delay at the police station.
After arriving, I went straight to Zhou Qiang and handed him the letter.
After reading it, Zhou Qiang asked Old Liu to take notes.
Then he said, "I will visit your village for a while. Now you can go back and listen to the news."
Then Old Liu and Lam Wing came back.
This time, Old Liu began to tell everyone how majestic the design of the police station compound and offices was.
People don't like to hear this, and think that Old Liu is just showing off.
"Isn't it just reporting a case? It's not like going to look for relatives!"
"That's right, what sense of superiority are you looking for here?"
Then a woman who loved to make a joke quickly grabbed a piece of fish meat with the bones removed and fed it into Old Liu's mouth without saying a word, immediately stopping him from arguing with everyone.
Old Liu was so angry that he wanted to swallow the fish fiercely, but his expression suddenly froze.
Having never eaten such delicious fish in his entire life, shock and greed took over all his nerves, so his brain shut down.
"What do you think, Old Liu? I understand now," the woman deliberately said to Old Liu in a sarcastic tone, "Your fish is indeed very expensive, but it also depends on who decorates it! You said that people in the city like to spend money to buy it, but you are lucky. You always meet a chef like Liuliu who buys your fish to cook it, and then your fish is promoted! Otherwise, who would be eager to buy it!"
"That's right! Old Liu, now you know why your fish is so expensive, right? Forget about the fish, even the sweet potato leaves, after being made by Li Li's skillful hands, will definitely sell for a good price! Just tell me if you accept it or not."
“I…I accept…I accept…” Old Liu was simply reluctant to swallow the delicious food.
Seeing the mess on the table after these people had eaten, he felt regretful. Why couldn't he stop asking Lin Li for money and bring his wife and children here to have a delicious meal? In the words of these people, - at least he could see the world.
He used to scoff when others said this, but now he realizes that what others said was good advice! It's a pity that he didn't listen!
"My dear niece!" Old Liu swallowed it down reluctantly, smacking his lips a few more times to recall the delicious taste. "I only caught the big fish. There are still some small fish in my pond, but they are too small. I wanted to catch them and throw them away. What do you think... can those fish be made into food?"
"Come on, Old Liu!" The sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said again, "You sold the big fish for money, and even sold it for more money from your niece! Now you have some small fish that no one wants, and you want your niece to cook for you? Pah! Haven't you heard that a good cook cannot cook without rice? Even if you are illiterate and haven't heard of it, don't be so shabby, right?"
Her argument made perfect sense, and others joined in the crusade against Old Liu.
Lin Li pretended not to hear anything.
Instead, he wiped his hands and announced, "Today's dinner is almost over. From now on, I plan to do business in the commune, and I will be busy. After all, I want to make money to build a house for my third brother and get him married."
After a pause and a rough listening to what these people had to say, Lin Li continued, "But don't be disappointed. I will teach my skills to my sister-in-law, and she will make it exactly the same as I do. However... my sister-in-law is usually very busy..."
Su Xiangqiao was also a smart person. She heard the meaning behind Lin Li's words and deliberately asked, "Hey, Li Li, are you going to do business in the commune? I wanted to tell you before that chefs in the city can earn labor fees for cooking, so don't waste your good cooking skills. Okay, we don't work for others to earn labor fees, and we can make a lot of money by doing business ourselves!"
"Her sister-in-law," someone asked worriedly, "We are too busy with farm work, so will you stay in the village? Will you also help with the business in the commune when the time comes?"
"As for me..." Su Xiangqiao thought for a moment.
"We are country bumpkins who have never seen the world and never had good food," the man sighed, "and now we finally have good food to eat, but we haven't had enough! We are also thinking of asking your family to help prepare a feast for weddings or funerals in the future!"
"All of this is easy to deal with," Su Xiangqiao said. "Whether I go to the commune to help or not, if you have something to ask me, just catch up with my free time and I will try my best to help. If I can't help, don't be offended! Let's be considerate of each other. After all, life is not easy for every family, right?"
After talking in this roundabout way for a long time, smart people naturally know that usually, whether she is busy or not is all determined by Su Xiangqiao herself. If she wants to help, she will help no matter how busy she is. If she doesn't want to help, she will use being busy as an excuse to shirk her responsibilities no matter how busy she is.
So it depends on whether the "benefits" given can satisfy Su Xiangqiao.
Just like today, Lin Li, who usually never likes to talk to others, is also busying himself willingly.
Now everyone thought about it and assumed that it was because Lin Li had learned this superhuman ability and wanted to make money with this skill, so he learned to get along with others.
The smart people all knew what was going on, so they said a few words to keep the situation in mind.
In the end, Lin Li felt that this was a successful conclusion to the plan to pave the way for the next "labor fee" plan.
The next day.
Ling Xiao was sitting on the bed, listening to Su Zhen methodically telling him the truth about what he had secretly witnessed yesterday.
"Ling Xiao, your wife has suddenly become very popular. Don't say that I, who am not familiar with her, find it strange. I asked the neighbors who are familiar with her, and they also..." Su Zhen looked at Ling Xiao's face to decide whether to continue.
