Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu was indeed deceiving these people.

These people have a bad reputation in the village, and they are plotting against her behind her back. She must be mentally ill to bring them along.

The reason I said it was just to make them regret it later.

The most comfortable thing is to see others making money by following her while they get nothing.

Li Yu is confident that this time’s rice cake will be as popular as the braised pork.

Besides this, there will be other snacks in the future. Of course, this is all for the future, and her next task is to clean the house.

The new house has been built.

The main house faces north and south and has five rooms in total. From left to right, they are the storage room, Li Yu's bedroom, the main room, Han Xiaomei's bedroom, and Han Zheng's bedroom.

The kitchen is one and a half rooms, facing west and east.

In order to ensure privacy, Li Yu designed a screen wall facing the gate to ensure that passers-by cannot see what is going on in the house.

Because the land is large, there is a backyard behind the main house. Li Yu asked the bricklayer to build a shed against the wall to store firewood and raise chickens and ducks.

As for the front yard, there is also a shed where water tanks, wooden barrels, wooden basins and other things are placed.

For the remaining space, Li Yu reserved one area for planting flowers and another for planting trees, and the rest was paved with bricks.

"It's really magnificent! This is the best house in our village."

"She even used bricks for the courtyard wall. She was really generous."

The onlookers were whispering, with envy clearly written in their eyes.

Li Yu heard it and laughed.

She liked the new house very much and it was worth the money she spent.

From buying the land and bricks to completion, it cost more than fifty taels, enough for an ordinary family to build two large blue brick and tile houses.

Li Yu looked everywhere carefully, and asked Uncle Wu and the village chief to help him check. After making sure there were no problems, he handed the final unsettled money for building the house to the bricklayers.

After doing all this, she began to think about moving.

The furniture in their bedroom was still usable, so they didn't buy new ones first, but only bought some necessary ones, such as tables and chairs in the living room, cabinets in the kitchen, and a bigger and more useful chopping board.

Li Yu was making plans one by one, while Aunt Wu pulled Li Yu's sleeve.

"Xiu Wen wife, our village has the custom of inviting people to dinner before moving into a new house. Do you want to do it here?"

"Of course I want it." Li Yu put down the paper and pen. "I plan to invite those who are close to me and those who are not close but have good character. As for the others, I won't invite them."

This was something she had thought about from the beginning. Some people kept making trouble for her, so she didn't want to rush to invite them to dinner. For example, the Qian family, the Feng family, and the Han Xiuwu family. Don't even think about setting foot in her house.

The move-in party for the new house was scheduled for half a month later. As it was still early, Li Yu was not in a hurry to make arrangements, but continued to work on his business.

During this time, she made the rice cake.

Add water to the soaked rice and grind it into rice paste. Add yeast, sugar and flour for steaming buns and mix. After it has risen, put it into a mold to shape it and finally steam it.

The steps are very simple, but the rice cake is soft, fragrant and delicious.

In addition to white rice cakes, Li Yu also made ones in other colors.

She didn't sell any of these, but gave them to Aunt Wu, Li Xiangyun and a few others to taste. She then adjusted the proportions of the various ingredients based on their feedback.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, there were only three days left before the move-in party in the new house.

Li Yu thought it was ready, so she asked Uncle Wu, Wang Dafu, and Han Sheng to help move the furniture from the small courtyard to the new house. She and the village head's wife invited people to dinner.

Some villagers were worried about not being able to get along with Li Yu, so when they saw Li Yu's invitation, they agreed one after another. At the same time, they thought in their hearts that they must bring a presentable gift.

Li Yu went to each house according to the list she had prepared. Those who were invited were all happy, while those who were not invited had long faces. Some of them who really wanted to attend the banquet waited for Li Yu on her way home to stop her.

"Xiu Wen wife, I heard that you are going to move to a new house." Old Man Huang's wife, He, looked straight at Li Yu with a calculating look on her face.

Li Yu sneered, "Yes, we are moving."

"Then why don't you invite everyone to dinner? Our village has a long-standing custom of inviting couples to a bridal party. You can't break the rules." He shouted in a shrill voice. She wanted to use this method to make Li Yu surrender.

But why would Li Yu be afraid of her?

Li Yu brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves and said with a smile, "Of course I will treat you, and I have already arranged it, Aunt He. The move-in banquet is my own business, so you don't need to worry about it."

She didn't even mention inviting their family to dinner. He was furious. "Does that count as inviting people to dinner? We haven't made any arrangements for anyone in our family!"

No wonder this guy is from the same family as Old Man Huang. They are both of the same character, always trying to take advantage of others.

Li Yu kept smiling, "It is true that the villagers have the custom of inviting people to dinner when they move into a new house, but there is no custom of inviting the whole village, so I think it is okay to invite some relatives and friends.

Aunt He, are you going to force me to invite you? This is too overbearing. I have nothing to do with your family, and if I remember correctly, your old man scolded me a while ago. "

As soon as she finished speaking, the village head's wife immediately said, "What Xiuwen's wife said is absolutely right. The people in our village did not invite the whole village to dinner when they moved into a new house."

He: "..."

Li Yu winked at the village chief's wife, and the two of them ignored He and left quickly.

*

He stood there in a daze for a while, then remembered something and hurried towards the village entrance.

Old man Huang was sitting at the entrance of the village bragging to others. He walked over and kicked him on the leg.

"It's all your fault. You said bad things about others and let others hear you. Now, that bitch surnamed Li didn't even invite us to her house for the move-in party." He cursed. Old man Huang struggled to get up, but he didn't curse He, but Li Yu. "What? She didn't invite us. Why not? No, she must have us go to her house for dinner."

The couple shouted and yelled, as if Li Yutian owed them something.

The people with Old Man Huang were the ones who scolded Li Yu in front of Uncle Wu half a month ago. When they saw that Old Man Huang was not invited, they immediately went home to ask their family members whether they had been invited. When they learned that they had not received an invitation either, they were all furious.

"We are all from the same village, why did you invite others but not us?"

"She is deliberately trying to embarrass us."

"No, I want to go eat. I don't believe she can kick me out then."

Several people were shouting, as if they would not give up until Li Yu let them eat.

Some villagers couldn't stand it and criticized with contempt.

Some people who were quick-witted immediately turned around and found Li Yu to tell her about the strange remarks made by others.

Li Yu found that she had underestimated the shamelessness of those people, but she was not afraid. If anyone dared to cause trouble for her, he must be prepared to lose a layer of skin.
