Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 182 Setting Off Fireworks 1

Yu Juan and the others brought the food to the table one after another, and at the same time asked Xia Shiyu to bring out the drinks.

"Okay, I'll go get it right away."

"Uncle, Second Uncle, would you like to drink alcohol or beverages?" Xia Shiyu asked, picking up a beer.

"Let's go to a bar and have a drink."

"I'd like to have some baijiu (Chinese liquor), do you have any here?"

"Yes, there is, but you should be careful." Xia Shiyu poured out the liquor.

As for the others, they mostly just had a beverage.

"Just have a drink. If you get drunk, you won't be able to stand up straight and you'll make a fool of yourself."

"Yes, I'm going to drive to the city to buy some things later, so it's better not to drink now."

"I just think that soft drinks taste much better than beer, so I'll drink soft drinks instead."

The group chatted and laughed as they finalized their drinks, unscrewed the bottle caps, and poured themselves a beverage or wine.

There were so many people that we had to squeeze into three large round tables to sit down, but even then, some people still went to eat on the sofa.

The main reason was Zhang Nuan; she wasn't used to being with so many people, even though they were all relatives, so her aunt went to take care of her.

Xia Jie simply felt it was too crowded, so he decided to give up his spot so that it wouldn't be so cramped and he could eat next to him.

Yu Juan called out, "Alright, alright, everyone, let's eat! These vegetables are all fresh, just picked from the field and haven't been sitting for more than a few days. Eat as much as you like!"

Auntie joked, "Haha, that's exactly what I was waiting for you to say. You knew you were coming to Xiaoyu's house to wish her a Happy New Year, but you didn't even dare to eat much for breakfast. You came on an empty stomach."

Auntie joked, "That's right, that's right, we came specifically for your food."

Yu Juan replied happily, "Then everyone, eat as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll go to the field and pick more to stir-fry."

"Hahaha"

Everyone started eating while chatting and laughing.

Normally, everyone enjoys chatting at the dinner table, but once the meal is served, they forget about talking and just keep saying, "Oh, this dish is delicious."

"This pickled garlic is really good."

"This houttuynia cordata mixed with cilantro is delicious."

"The bok choy and meatball soup is also good; even ordinary frozen meatballs taste much better."

"The cured pork is very well marinated, and these meat dishes taste even better than before."

Everyone immediately transformed into a praise squad, showering praise on and on, their hands and mouths never stopping.

Xia Jie, who was enjoying his meal immensely, shouted, "I want to eat three bowls!"

Everyone else burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Even the usually quiet Zhang Nuan was happily eating her meal, and when she heard everyone's words, she couldn't help but smile.

My aunt was overjoyed to see this. It's wonderful that things are getting better and better at home.

Auntie was exasperated. "You little glutton!"

Xia Meng shook her head, "I really despise you, my gluttonous little brother."

Xia Jie complained, "Why are you complaining about me? You were clearly enjoying your meal too, so if you're so capable, put that piece of chicken down."

Xia Meng said proudly, "I won't give it up. I got it by my own strength."

These chickens and ducks are so small, if everyone wants to eat more, what will happen? So it's best to grab them quickly.

The uncle exclaimed that the food was so delicious that his already round belly became even rounder. "You guys are really something. This food is so good that Xiaoyu really doesn't want to leave your house."

Yu Juan said, "It's nothing, you can pick some more later."

Xia Lihua nodded, "We really don't have enough chickens and ducks this year, so we can't give one to each family, but we can pick some vegetables."

"Haha, okay, we'll take some without being polite."

The whole family ate and drank happily. After they finished eating and drinking, they didn't rush to leave. After all, it was the Spring Festival and everyone was quite relaxed, so instead of going home, they played in the yard.

Xia Shiyu also sat down and chatted with her sisters.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the group decided to leave.

"Why don't you stay for dinner before you leave?" Xia Lihua suggested.

"Forget it, we need to get home quickly, it's inconvenient to travel far."

Yu Juan said, "There's no need to rush back. There's still room at home for everyone to sleep."

"Oh, no need, no need. We'll be going now, no need to see us off."

"Yes, yes, I'm already very satisfied to have received the vegetables from Xiaoyu on this trip."

"Yes, we made a fortune! Everyone else is fighting over it."

Xia Shiyu smiled and said, "Then come visit again next time. We'll also be visiting your home in a few days."

Xia Wen nodded, "Welcome, welcome! Come to our house sometime, we'll treat you all well."

"Okay, then take your time and be careful on the road."

"it is good"

A group of people came in a lively atmosphere, but now that they've left, the place feels a bit deserted.

Yu Juan was cleaning, and Xia Shiyu was helping to clean the pots and pans. It has to be said that these dishes and chopsticks are the hardest to wash during the Chinese New Year.

Xia Shiyu wore gloves and washed the clothes with her grandparents. She didn't want her hands to become slippery. As she washed, she thought that she definitely needed to buy a dishwasher for the family later, otherwise it would be too unbearable.

After washing the dishes, we didn't cook anything new at home; we just reheated the cold dishes from lunch.

Fortunately, because the food at home was delicious, there wasn't much leftover food, and the few of us could finish it today. It was just a little troublesome because we cooked too much rice, but it's not a big problem. We can just make fried rice with eggs for breakfast the next morning.

After we finished eating, it was getting dark. Xia Lihua brought out some fireworks, and suggested we set them off together later.

"Okay," Xia Shiyu said, holding a small firework toy. Firework toys have become more diverse in recent years, and of course, the prices have also increased. She used to not buy them, but this year she could buy some to play with.

Xia Shiyu lit the firework and waved it twice, while Xia Lihua set off a large firework next to him, and fireworks also went off one after another in the sky over the village.

Xia Shiyu looked up at the dazzling fireworks, their reflections illuminating her face, making her look truly beautiful.

Xia Shiyu was deeply moved by what she saw. Looking at the fireworks in her hand, she suddenly thought of the polar bears and snowmen in the fairy tale world. She wondered if they had ever seen fireworks. But when she thought of the incredibly beautiful aurora borealis she had seen, these fireworks seemed rather ordinary in comparison.
