Reincarnate as a poor widow and bravely fight against the worst scumbag father and evil mother-in-la
Chapter 60: Invite the whole village to dinner and don’t invite me?
Jiang Yuwei looked at Shopkeeper Wang's happy expression and nodded, then went forward to check the finished products. After checking them one by one, she was very satisfied and said:
"It's thanks to your good craftsmanship, Shopkeeper Wang. If I had given this blueprint to someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to produce such an effect. You deserve to make money."
Shopkeeper Wang also found Jiang Yuwei's words very useful, and said with a smile:
"If Madam Jiang wants to make something special in the future, just come to me. As long as you have the blueprint, I can make it for you. And I won't charge you a penny. All you need is for Madam Jiang to give me the blueprint."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:
"Of course I will have to trouble Shopkeeper Wang in the future. But it's a little late today. I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang can still find a bullock cart to take me home. I'll pay for the cart fare."
Shopkeeper Wang looked at the time, frowned and thought for a moment, then asked:
"I wonder which village Madam Jiang is from? Is it far from our town?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"I'm from Ningjia Village, which is not far from the town. I can get there in half an hour."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded and instructed the clerk standing beside him:
"Go find a few ox carts that we often use and ask them to help deliver the urgent goods to Ningjia Village. It will take ten ox carts to carry it."
After receiving the order, the clerk hurried out to find a bullock cart. After a while, he came back sweating profusely, followed by ten bullock carts. Shopkeeper Wang ordered everyone to work together to move the furniture onto the carts and secure them. He then gave a few instructions to the leader, turned around and smiled at Jiang Yuwei:
"Madam Jiang, you have ten ox carts here. It costs five cents more to carry goods than to carry people. There are also their loading and unloading fees. One cart costs twenty cents. Is that feasible?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go back with the bullock cart too. I'll pay you guys when we get there. Thank you for your hard work."
As Jiang Yuwei said this, she got on the leading ox cart and said goodbye to Manager Wang. The convoy then started heading towards Ningjia Village. When they arrived at Ningjia Village, it was almost dark. Jiang Yuwei looked at the torches lit at the gate of her own courtyard from afar, and she knew that Ning Huaizhi was waiting for her at the door again. She immediately thought about installing two lanterns at the gate of the courtyard.
After Jiang Yuwei arrived home, she nodded to Ning Huaizhi and told everyone to unload the goods. She also directed them to move the furniture into the house and put it in place. Then she paid everyone their wages and sent them away.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the house in front of her with furniture, and suddenly felt much better. Now it felt like a home.
Jiang Yuwei was about to make dinner. When she turned around, she saw Ning Huaizhi looking at her pitifully and said aggrievedly:
"Yuwei, I know I was wrong. I promise you that something like Xu Qianqian will never happen again. Please believe me, okay?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at the handsome face in front of her who was aggrieved, and her hardened heart softened, so she nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time, but only this time. Don't allow it to happen again. As a man, you should know the difference between men and women. You must have a sense of boundaries."
Ning Huaizhi saw that Jiang Yuwei had forgiven him, and happily raised the hairpin in his hand and handed it to Jiang Yuwei:
"Yuwei, I understand. This is the hairpin I made for you. Try it on and see."
Jiang Yuwei took the hairpin from Ning Huaizhi's hand and took a look. It was a hairpin with a magnolia flower carved out of bamboo. The magnolia flower bud on the hairpin was very lively and beautiful. It must have taken a lot of effort to carve it. Jiang Yuwei directly inserted the hairpin into her hair and asked with a smile:
"Does it look good?"
Ning Huaizhi nodded heavily and said:
"It looks good. My wife looks good in anything she wears. Wife, I've prepared the meal and it's warm in the pot. Let's go eat."
After the family had finished their meal, they went back to their rooms and went to bed early. Jiang Yuwei had been busy all day and a lot of things had happened, but she didn't want to tell Ning Huaizhi about it.
She was like this in her previous life. She would never ask her family for help if it was something she could solve by herself, because her parents would never stand on her side, and her useless brother would only mock her. Now that she is here, she is unwilling to complain to Ning Huaizhi, because he can't help her and will only make Ning Huaizhi feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Yuwei thought that now that her house was built, everyone in the village had contributed a lot, so she should invite everyone to have a hot pot meal together to liven things up.
next day
Jiang Yuwei got up early and went to find the head of the village, asking him to help invite the villagers to her courtyard for lunch, and then she returned to the courtyard to prepare the meal.
Ning Wan helped wash the vegetables, Ning Huaizhi was responsible for lighting the fire, and Jiang Yuwei prepared ten tables of food. Since there were not enough tables at home, she went to Aunt Zhou's house and the surrounding neighbors to borrow some tables and chairs. Aunt Zhou was also a practical person. When she heard that Jiang Yuwei was going to cook for a meal, she was afraid that Jiang Yuwei would be too busy, so she took the initiative to come over to help cut the vegetables and prepare.
With helpers, Jiang Yuwei was able to cook quickly and well. This time, she prepared ten dishes and one soup for each table to entertain her fellow villagers. They were spicy boiled fish, spicy crayfish, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, cold bean sprouts, scrambled eggs with peppers, sweet and sour pork, cold spinach, sour fruit and mushroom soup.
Aunt Zhou, who was standing by, cut vegetables and prepared food according to Jiang Yuwei's instructions. Looking at Jiang Yuwei's busy figure and the aroma of food in the yard, she sincerely admired Jiang Yuwei's cooking skills.
Jiang Yuwei used a big pot to cook, one dish at a time. Fortunately, the pot was big and could hold a lot of food, enough for ten tables. The staple food was a big pot of steamed rice and two pots of steamed buns.
When they were almost done, the villagers arrived one after another. When they heard that Jiang Yuwei was going to treat them to a hot pot meal, they all brought gifts from home.
The farmers didn't have anything valuable, just some daily tools or gadgets they made themselves, and some food. Jiang Yuwei happily accepted it one by one. She didn't expect everyone to bring anything, but since everyone was willing to come, she was naturally happy.
Jiang Yuwei had almost finished cooking the meals, and the remaining dishes needed to be simmered in the pot for a while, so she arranged for everyone to sit down first. After everyone sat down, Jiang Yuwei took Aunt Zhou and Ning Wan to start serving the dishes to each table.
As they watched the meals prepared by Jiang Yuwei being served on the table, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They were all farmers who made a living from the fields, and had never eaten such delicious meals. On weekdays, they just wanted to eat something to fill their stomachs and survive. Now, looking at the table full of delicious food, everyone was secretly glad that they did not refuse and came directly when the head of the village went to invite people today.
As everyone picked up their chopsticks and prepared to eat, they heard a sharp voice from outside the courtyard:
"Well, you wicked bastard, you invited the whole village to dinner but didn't invite me?"
