Chapter 131: Not Shabby for the Sake of Living

Cooking for dozens of people, just buying vegetables is not enough.

Wu Lan ordered: "There is also meat, tomorrow we have to cut twenty jin, ribs, tenderloin, pork belly, pig trotters, anything is fine, and get some chicken and duck..."

While ordering, she trembled with heartache; the food expenses for this meal would be quite a lot!

Especially since pork prices had risen again.

Song Tan thought for a while: "Buy less meat tomorrow, I'll bring back a few braised dishes from the city, which will save some effort."

Tomorrow we must seize the time to plant all the peach trees, so we can't treat the lunch meal poorly. When people in the village come and go, money is one aspect, and human feelings are another.

Speaking of this, Wu Lan was a bit worried again.

"How about changing the cook tomorrow? I have no experience in cooking for so many people at once! If it doesn't taste good, wouldn't that be asking for people to laugh at us?"

For so many years in the village, whenever there was a banquet, they would invite a chef to do it, charging a manual fee of twenty-five to fifty yuan per table, with rice, flour, oil, and vegetables prepared by themselves, and the chef would even provide tables and chairs.

Wu Lan hadn't cooked for so many people for decades, and besides, she knew the taste of her family's food. Don't know why, but the vegetables had indeed become better recently, and casually these twenty or thirty people could finish the food for forty or fifty people.

Don't cook rice in the two large pots at home tomorrow, just stir-fry vegetables, and borrow a few more rice cookers from the village.

In this hurry, just make do for now.

Song Tan was also numb.

Cooking for so many people is indeed hard work. No matter how many helpers there are, what needs to be done still has to be done.

In the final analysis, the temptation given by the little secretary was too great, making her unable to hold back all of a sudden!

Damn it!

Won't serve tea next time the secretary comes to the door.

She thought for a while and urged Wu Lan: "Mom, call my aunt quickly, let her go to Seventh Uncle's house and ask, if it works, I will go there with things tomorrow."

If the chef is negotiated, and he comes back to stay in a few days, her mother won't have to be so tired in the future.

She can also afford a high salary!

The weather is not cold or hot now, so cooking is fine, but when it gets hot, it's a real suffering in the kitchen.

If she really lets her family suffer this, why did she come back to toss and turn? Relying on spiritual energy to sell a few potted plants in the city is easier and earns more than this.

"Yes, yes, yes, this is also a big deal."

Near concerns everyone's mouth, far concerns Qiao Qiao's whole life. Wu Lan said while dialing the phone: "Your aunt is also, such an important matter, why tell you only when leaving? If we had known, we would have brought your aunt more jars of honey."

Song Tan smiled: "The eldest aunt is here, my aunt doesn't want to waste words with her."

Wu Lan frowned: "Told them, their family can't bear it. I see your eldest cousin and cousin-in-law are not such filial people—your eldest aunt has a bad mouth, but she is real in doing work at home, like an old maid, did you see your brother and sister-in-law feel sorry for her?"

Everyone doesn't say it, doesn't mean they don't understand.

Just say the eldest uncle's son, he only comes back once a year for the New Year, and usually says he is working overtime during festivals...

Who hasn't worked!

But having said that, Wu Lan still praised her aunt: "Your aunt is still good to you, Tan Tan, think of your aunt more if you have good things in the future."

The phone hadn't been dialed out yet, and another call came in.

It was the eldest aunt-in-law, Zhou Fangyuan.

"Wu Lan, how did I hear that your family is hiring people to do farm work?"

Relatives and friends in the ten miles and eight villages, a little secret seems to be able to go back and forth in a day.

The eldest aunt-in-law also heard casually during a chat that her college student niece had returned to farm, and it was quite large-scale, and now she was hiring people to work every day!

When she went home and said it, Grandma was unhappy and said to the eldest uncle:

"You are still a biological brother, Tan Tan didn't forget you last time she came, and brought you so many vegetables. She said she was farming at home at that time, why didn't you ask if she needed a hand?"

The eldest uncle was also aggrieved: This girl said she was returning to farm, she used to work in an office, what kind of name can she make farming?

No one expected this!

Hurry up and let the eldest aunt-in-law call, there is work, it's really unreasonable for relatives not to help!

Wu Lan remembered the income during this period, wanted to show off but also wanted to be low-key, low-key but really suffocated, at this moment receiving the eldest aunt-in-law's call, she laughed out loud:

"Yes, sister-in-law, oh my, you heard it too? I said this child is not steady, a little thing is known to everyone, isn't it just contracting a mountain head, a place the size of a palm, how did it get known everywhere..."

Can't show off how much money she earned, but can say a few words about contracting the mountain.

The eldest aunt-in-law raised her voice: "What? She also contracted it?! Didn't they say she was just raising it in her hometown?"

After hanging up the phone with great difficulty, she saw Song Sancheng was @ing and calling in the village group, and Wu Lan also became anxious, quickly calling her aunt:

"Sister, the matter you told Tan Tan this afternoon..."

Wu Lan went into the house to make a call, while Qiao Qiao and Zhang Yanping each held a cup of honey water, sitting there happily.

The big bear's chubby butt was stuck in the tiger's mouth, and at this moment it was struggling desperately, furry and striped, and you could even see some pollen under the light, how cute!

Song Tan thought for a while, always feeling something was wrong.

She suddenly reacted: "Qiao Qiao, you bring Big Bear every day, what about its children? It's been a month, why haven't the children hatched yet?"

Didn't they say a bumblebee queen can hatch and raise children in a month?

Qiao Qiao was also stunned.

He let go of his hand, watching Big Bear crawl on his palm, and at this moment said confusedly: "I don't know..."

Song Tan turned her head and took down the box above the utility shed. Big Bear, this unqualified queen, didn't even have any reaction at this moment.

Sigh, it's truly useless except for eating and selling its looks (butt).

Opening the box, good heavens, a group of bumblebees that hadn't fully grown were wriggling in the box, not even a bit of pollen or nectar was seen. Obviously, Big Bear had been eating too much while being fat and unable to work during this period, so much so that even the children's food was gone.

Song Tan:...

No wonder they couldn't grow even with spiritual energy nourishing them every day. Although she didn't count on these bumblebees to work, it was too useless.

Since that's the case—

"Qiao Qiao, next time you live stream, bring Big Bear along, and let it play in front of the camera."

Pay a little for raising children, not shabby.

Zhang Yanping couldn't even drink his honey water.

Even Big Bear had to be squeezed to sell its looks; his sister was truly carrying out "don't raise idlers" to the end.

What about him?

Does he still have to work tomorrow?

Is it digging bamboo shoots or digging holes on the mountain?
