I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

Moving into the house is a big deal. My uncle has already asked Chef Wang to come and prepare the main course tomorrow.

Xiaotao will host the small banquet at home on the first day.

Early in the morning, Xiao Taojie's father, mother and Li Fugui went to the Shanghe Village market. They spent more than two hours shopping and bought a lot of vegetables.

There were mushrooms, black fungus, vermicelli, bean curd sheets, chicken, fish, meat, and eggs. The yard was full of food that needed to be processed.

My grandparents were all shocked and asked why I bought so many vegetables.

Xiaotao's father smiled and said, "We have bought a house here, so we must live here for a while. When we move into the house, we will entertain the villagers, put in wine, and liven up the atmosphere. Of course, we must buy all the dishes."

These things can be made into soups, stir-fries, cold dishes, or local specialties. Xiaotao will do all the cooking, and we just have to follow along. You'll get to taste Xiaotao's cooking skills later.

Grandpa smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't had a banquet for many years. It's a good opportunity to try Xiaotao's cooking."

How much are these mushrooms per pound? They look really good. Grandma is concerned about the price of vegetables. How much is this unkilled chicken per pound? How much is an old chicken per pound? Grandma is also quite concerned.

"You asked how much it cost per pound, but I really can't remember," Xiaotao replied with a smile. Li Fugui replied cheerfully, "You'll understand if you compare the cooking results with those in the city."

Xiaotao's mother is not worried about the money for her own family's food, but only worries that Xiaotao won't cook well.

Chairman Li smiled and said, no matter how Xiaotao cooks, we have to give it a try.

Li Fugui looked at the dishes with a headache. I couldn’t remember how much these things cost.

Grandma looked worried and said, "There's no need to buy so much. You're basically bringing the vegetable market home. It's going to take you long to eat all this food."

Normally I buy what I want to eat first, but now I suddenly have to prepare so many dishes and I’m scared just looking at them. I’m scared to death.

Sister Xiaotao held a bottle of beer and said with a smile, "We have someone coming today. Sister Xiaoyu wants to bring her friends to play with us."

Today I really made a beer chicken that I am good at. Xiao Tao's father was a little bit unconvinced. Beer chicken, we have never made beer chicken before.

Li Fugui laughed and said loudly, "I believe in Xiaotao's craftsmanship."

The phone rang and Li Fugui picked up the phone. Hello, this is my third uncle. I will come over tomorrow. This is my friend calling. He said he will come to see you soon. A few other friends are coming too. Please receive them when the time comes.

Li Fugui happily told his grandmother that his uncle was going to bring his friends over. The news that he had returned from abroad had spread a long time ago, and several of his friends were also coming over to play with him. Upon hearing this news, his grandmother was extremely happy!

On the first day of the small banquet, the aunties and younger generations in the village came one after another to help.

Everyone here should congratulate Sister Xiaotao, Aunt Qi, you are really going to move in.

You see, this house is so beautiful after you decorated it.

Please introduce it to us later and see if we can decorate our house the same way as you do.

This must be my Seventh Uncle! He looks really wealthy and blessed. Li Fugui was embarrassed by what he said.

In a short while, all the younger wives in the village came. There were so many people that they all came to help Sister Xiaotao.

Everyone arrived, and then some people started cutting meat and others started chopping chicken.

Sister Tao rolled up her sleeves, lit the firewood pot, and prepared to cook a big pot of food.

The prepared dishes are placed in bowls on the dining table, and each person takes a set of bowls and plates, just like a buffet.

Everyone can take a bowl of whatever they like and eat it at the table next to them.

Although Xiaotao's idea is good, it is a bit unrealistic to implement.

Because these aunts and ladies are unwilling to suffer any loss, they rush to put those dishes that look more expensive, such as beef, fish, chicken and duck, into their bowls, leaving only some vegetables.

Li Fugui watched Sister Xiaotao trying hard to maintain order, but to no avail. Everyone was still eating in a mess. Sister Xiaotao was a little at a loss and quickly stood up to speak.

Don’t rush, there are still a lot of dishes, definitely enough to eat.

Some people say that if everyone goes up one by one, people won’t fight over it.

Sister Xiaotao smiled bitterly and said, "Oh! I originally wanted to make a few more and serve them together so that everyone can eat them slowly."

Who knew that as soon as the bowl of pepper beef was served, everyone's appetite would be even stronger and they would scramble for it even more.

I'd better go back to the kitchen and make a few more of the leftovers.

Chairman Li smiled and said, "You should eat something first. Why are you in such a hurry? We just want to have some fun."

Xiao Tao said embarrassedly that if someone didn't eat enough, she would have to say that she hadn't entertained them well. If she had known earlier, she should have cooked another pot of stew.

Yes, yes, that stew is my favorite, said a young girl running over.

She ate while holding her bowl and came over to chat. The little girl was very festive, with a chubby round face and two dimples when she smiled. Grandma introduced her as Xiaozao, the granddaughter of your eldest aunt. She was a very good student and just got into university this year.

When Sister Xiaotao heard this, she quickly gave her a red envelope and encouraged her to study hard.

Xiaozao took it happily and said, "Thank you, cousin. I will definitely work hard."

The soup was finished, the rice was eaten, and the meat was eaten up! As expected, they were all family members, and their appetites were good. Xiao Tao's mother and several younger generations who helped in the kitchen were busy. After they finished eating, she cooked another pot of noodles.

Xiaotao's father said loudly to put more meat and vegetables in the noodles and let everyone eat well, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the people who cooked the meal didn't have any food.

Unexpectedly, the relatives had such big appetites that as soon as they saw the noodles, someone came over with a bowl to get more noodles! In a blink of an eye, the whole pot was gone. Xiaotao's mother was so panicked that she went to make another pot. Now there was finally enough to eat.

As I was talking, the phone rang. It was Xiaoyu. She said, "I heard you bought a big house in the countryside. Gao and I are going to visit you there. I'd like to show you the photos and videos from last time. Let me know if you like it or not."

Is it really done? Sister Xiaotao was very happy. She had to go to the market in the afternoon to buy some more vegetables. The vegetables she bought this morning were all eaten up by them in an instant.

Also, cousin, you need to help get a TV, because they might want to show movies, and we haven't bought one yet. My cousin hurriedly called and asked Sister Tao what size TV she wanted. Sister Tao generously replied, "Get the biggest one."

In the afternoon, Sister Xiaotao went to buy vegetables. She likes to cook for Sister Xiaoyu. Sister Xiaoyu not only likes to eat, but also especially likes Sichuan cuisine, such as boiled beef, boiled fish, boiled pork slices, spicy chicken feathers, blood soup, and twice-cooked pork. The spicier the better.
