Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f
Chapter 81 Food Combinations
Ding Guihua ran incredibly fast, showing off to everyone she met along the way.
"My second sister-in-law said she's inviting everyone to my house for dinner today. We can't get seafood like this around here, so remember to come when you're done with your work."
“My second sister-in-law is rich and kind-hearted. She asked me to go to town to find the best doctor for my mother-in-law. She said she would do her best to cure her no matter how much money it would cost.”
"My sons won't have to worry about finding wives in the future. My second brother's wife is very wealthy. A little bit of money from her will be enough for our family to live a life of luxury."
Once outside the village, Ding Guihua thought smugly, "Anyway, I've spread the word about you, so you'll have to take the money whether you want to or not."
Following the location in her memory, Xu Qing entered the Shi family's kitchen.
It must be said that the Shi family's houses are indeed more impressive than those of ordinary people, even the kitchen is spacious.
"He's just a bit unclean," Xu Qing thought, looking at the pitch-black stove and the dirty pots and pans, her face darkening.
Since it's not her eating it, so be it if it's dirty.
Xu Qing bought the cheapest oysters, prawns, scallops, and abalone in the mall.
Xu Qing felt a little bad about the low price, but the Shi family couldn't possibly afford anything good.
Upon receiving the seafood, Xu Qing realized why it was so cheap; it was all rotten, no wonder it was so cheap.
No problem, just add all sorts of modern flavor enhancers and it instantly becomes fragrant, making your mouth water.
Xu Qing also prepared some kiwifruit, and fearing that the effect wouldn't be good enough, she also bought a large bottle of sea buckthorn juice.
This is the king of vitamin C, and it even thoughtfully includes vitamin C effervescent tablets. Shake well.
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. This was a news article she had read in her previous life: seafood contains a substance that vitamin C in fruit can convert into highly toxic arsenic.
At the time, she didn't believe it and looked up a lot of popular science information online.
Finally, it was shown that shellfish such as shrimp contain a large amount of that substance, and consuming it with large doses of vitamin C can lead to poisoning.
Fish and crabs, on the other hand, do not produce harmful substances.
Even if a doctor came, they wouldn't be able to find anything, since she didn't poison anyone; at most, she just ate incompatible foods and felt unwell.
This is also why she asked Ding Guihua to fetch a doctor; she wanted to get rid of the troublesome Shi family, but she didn't want to get herself into trouble.
After this meal, it will be a matter of which member of the Shi family is lucky enough to survive.
It's okay if they survive; she'll come back every now and then to add some food and bring them some warmth. It all depends on how many lives they have.
Xu Qing served garlic oysters, garlic prawns, garlic scallops, and garlic abalone. The aroma of the dishes, enhanced by technology and culinary expertise, lingered for a long time and wafted for miles.
Don't ask why it's all garlic sauce; it's just ready-made garlic sauce bought from the online store—simple and convenient.
The Shi family doesn't deserve her effort to cook for them, even if it's their last meal.
Smelling the fragrance, Shi Gandang mustered his courage and came out of the house.
Just then, the men from the Shi family who were out working and the children Ding Guihua had gone out to play also arrived home.
They smelled the aroma wafting from their own home and exchanged incredulous glances.
Several children cheered and ran into the yard.
"Mom, what delicious food are you making today? It smells so good, please scoop me a bowl."
Wow, there's even white rice! Is it Chinese New Year today? We're eating so well!
Xu Qing calmly sat down at the table: "Your mother hasn't come back yet. This is what I made. Eat if you want."
When Old Man Shi saw Xu Qing, his eyes flickered, and he asked knowingly, "What are you doing back here?"
Xu Qing was too lazy to waste words with these people, so he picked up a bowl, put a little bit of each dish in it, filled the bowl to the brim, and handed it to Old Man Shi.
“Ding’s house smells terrible, take it in for him.”
Old Man Shi's face darkened. Seeing this, his eldest son quickly took the food, saying, "I'll take it inside. Dad must be tired after a long day of work. Let's eat quickly."
The eldest son held his nose as he carried the food in, then ran out quickly.
He's so hungry, all he wants to do right now is eat. Let's talk about it after we finish eating.
The villagers of Shijia Village initially tried to maintain a reserved demeanor, but they couldn't resist the aroma and all rushed over to Shijia with bowls in hand.
The Shi family didn't have enough tables, so Xu Qing methodically had the villagers line up, get their food, and go home to eat.
The villagers kept praising Xu Qing.
"How did Qing girl cook this? No wonder she can set up a stall in town. It smells so good it makes my mouth water."
"I've caught these shrimp in the river before, and they were only tiny. Where did Qing girl catch these shrimp? They're bigger than my palm!"
Xu Qing patiently answered the villagers' questions one by one, earning another wave of praise.
After the villagers finished their meals, they saw some fruit on the table and shamelessly asked, "Could we have some of that fruit too?"
Xu Qing: "That was specially prepared for the Shi family. It's a bit expensive, so I won't share it with everyone."
Eating this rotten seafood might only give her a bit of diarrhea, but if she eats fruit, the whole village will collapse, and then she'll be exposed.
Seeing that Xu Qing refused, the villagers weren't angry, after all, they had received a big bowl of delicious food.
After thanking Xu Qing with a smile, they couldn't wait to go back to their respective dinners.
The Shi family members didn't need Xu Qing to tell them anything; they had already started eating voraciously.
Xu Qing prepared a large quantity, buying dozens of kilograms of each item, just so they could eat as much as they wanted, thus increasing their chances of dying.
Seeing that they were only eating seafood, Xu Qing personally poured each of them a glass of sea buckthorn juice, which was bright yellow and looked very appealing.
"Try it. This is juice that my friend who runs a grocery store in my town brought back from the capital. It's delicious, so I brought it here for you to try."
The seafood with added ingredients was delicious, but eating too much made everyone thirsty, so everyone picked up their bowls and drank it all in one gulp.
After they finished drinking, Xu Qing refilled their glasses. After a round, there was hardly any seafood left on the table, and most of the juice and kiwi fruit had also been eaten and drunk.
"It's so refreshing! It feels like eating meat and drinking alcohol in large gulps."
"It tastes even better this way. It's a money-loser. I want to eat it like this again tomorrow."
"Yes, we should eat like this again tomorrow."
Old Shi squinted comfortably; this kind of food was worthy of the hard work he put into earning his money.
Xu Qing coldly watched the Shi family members eating with their mouths full of oil, a cold smile on his lips.
Seeing that Xu Qing did not answer, Ding Guihua's sons shouted and cursed:
"We're talking to you, are you deaf? If you don't behave, we won't take care of you when you grow up."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the boys clutched their stomachs and collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
"My stomach hurts so much! Oh, my stomach hurts so much!"
Old Man Shi scolded you with exasperation, "Who told you to eat so fast? Now your stomachs hurt, aren't they? You shameful wretch, go back to your rooms and lie down."
Shi Gandang had almost finished eating, and not daring to stay with Xu Qing, he took the initiative to help the children into the house.
Old Man Shi and his eldest and youngest sons continued eating and drinking, finishing all the seafood, fruit, and juice on the table before finally stopping.
Ding shouted from inside the house, "Qing'er, I want another bowl! Is there any more? Bring me another bowl in."
Looking at the tabletop, now just a mess, Old Man Shi, somewhat embarrassed, scolded Ding:
"Lying in bed all day doing nothing, yet having the nerve to eat so much, is such a waste of food."
Ding felt wronged. If she hadn't found a way to call Xu Qing back, would they have been able to eat such good food? And they even dared to raise their voices at her.
Xu Qing took out sea buckthorn juice and kiwi fruit with added vitamin C effervescent tablets and handed them to Old Man Shi: "There are still some fruits and juices left, take them in to her."
