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

Chapter 181 Visiting Relatives

Xia Shiyu and his family had a great time playing on the streets on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then they went home with their family.

And on the second day of the Lunar New Year, people start visiting relatives.

"We were supposed to go to your uncle's house first, but they all said they'd come over here first for a get-together, which would also be a New Year's Eve dinner."

Yu Juan said to Xia Shiyu.

Xia Shiyu nodded, "Sure, those scallions and garlic are perfect for Uncle and the others to take back with them."

"Okay, then you should go wash the vegetables first."

"it is good"

When we have guests, our house gets very busy, especially today with so many people. We have to start preparing the food around 9 a.m.

Xia Shiyu took the vegetables to the side to wash them, while Xia Lihua chopped the ribs with a small axe.

Grandma helped start the fire, while Grandpa cleaned the house.

Around 10 o'clock, people started arriving at the house one after another.

The first to arrive were definitely Uncle Xia's family, since they lived nearby. Xia Lang and Ji Lan also came along; they came here today and would return to the Ji family tomorrow.

"Uncle's here! Come in and sit down."

Xia Shiyu stood up and led the people inside to sit down.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, we know how to get in, it's quite convenient this way."

Xia Shiyu brought out the prepared melon seeds, peanuts, and candies, along with the oranges, grapes, dried sweet potatoes, dried orange peels, and other things that had been placed there earlier.

"Wow, what a generous spread of snacks! And these grapes are so expensive, yet you're willing to share them with us," Ji Lang joked.

Xia Shiyu smiled, "Of course I have to be willing to spend the money, today is for New Year's greetings."

After a while, my second uncle, eldest aunt, and youngest aunt all gathered together.

My eldest aunt and my youngest aunt even came together.

Xia Meng and Xia Wen walked in hand in hand, placing the New Year's gifts they brought on the table.

"Xiaoyu, we've come to wish you a Happy New Year."

"Haha, come on in and have a seat." Xia Shiyu helped carry the gifts inside.

Upon seeing the grapes on the table, Xia Jie pounced on them.

"Wow, wow, wow, it's grapes! That's amazing! (^0^)/"

You know, when grapes first came out, they bought some for a while but then stopped. Firstly, the sales volume here is large, and secondly, buying too much really strains their wallets.

So after Xia Jie carefully finished his portion, he kept saving money to buy grapes.

He was relatively lucky, since Xia Shiyu would save a share for him if he really wanted it, while his classmates could only wait in vain.

Many people even messaged him privately or asked him to bring some, but he refused, saying he hadn't even had any himself.

Xia Shiyu invited everyone to eat, and seeing that her aunt's family of four seemed a little reserved, she went over and asked them to sit down.

Then she looked at the silent Zhang Nuan and said, "Auntie, please sit here. Nuan is here too. Please sit over there. There are delicious fruits and snacks here. Just take them and eat if you want."

The age gap between the four elders of the Xia family is not particularly large, so the age gap between the younger generation is also about the same. The youngest are Zhang Nuan and Xia Jie, who are still in junior high school. There are no younger children for the time being, and Xia Lang is the youngest to get married.

Xia Jie is lively and cheerful, while Zhang Nuan is quiet and well-behaved, which makes them all the more pitiful.

Zhang Nuan's uncle nudged her and said, "Okay, Xiao Yu, you go ahead and do your work. We all know."

"Okay, you can sit here peacefully." Xia Shiyu knew that the children weren't used to being here, so she walked away.

However, when the adults get together, they either chat or play.

After a while, some of the adults simply took out a deck of cards and went to play cards, while the others either played mobile games, chatted, or went to help in the kitchen.

Xia Shiyu watched the lively scene and quietly prepared the dishes.

While she was washing the vegetables, Xia Meng and Xia Wen came over to help her.

"Xiaoyu, how's your shop doing lately?"

Xia Wen hadn't paid attention to this matter since recommending Hezhou to Xia Shiyu, and only asked about it now that she remembered.

"It went very smoothly. The discounts offered by Hezhou were quite generous, and the express delivery went very smoothly."

"It's good if things go smoothly."

Xia Meng chimed in, praising, "How could Xiao Yu's vegetables not sell? If I knew how to do farm work, I would want to work for Xiao Yu. All I have to do is have meals provided every day."

Xia Shiyu was both amused and exasperated. "Haha, coming here just for a bite to eat? That's not worth it. I can't afford to pay you a high salary."

"Haha, if it really comes to that, we won't need high salaries anymore."

After Xia Meng finished speaking, she looked at the garlic in her hand and said, "This small bowl of garlic should be enough, right?"

Xia Shiyu nodded, "It's definitely enough, we might not even use it all."

"It's fortunate that your garlic is easy to peel, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to peel such a big bowl of garlic."

"Yes, yes, I also think it's easy to peel."

Xia Shiyu: "You're in for a treat in a minute. This garlic is not only easy to peel, but it's also delicious."

"Really? Did you grow this garlic?"

Xia Wen looked at the garlic in her hand in surprise.

"Yes, because it's winter now, I only planted some at home, and they taste really good."

Xia Shiyu nodded, "That's right."

"Wow, I can't wait for dinner!"

"Sure, and although I don't have enough to sell, it's fine if each family shares some. You can take some home with you."

"That's great, my mom will definitely be happy. These scallions are delicious in steamed buns, noodles, or dumplings."

"Haha, then I'll take more back later."

Amidst chatting and laughing, the group delivered the dishes to the kitchen, where several elders then showcased their culinary skills.

Smelling the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen, Xia Shiyu felt herself losing control, let alone the others, especially Xia Jie, whose eyes were practically glued to the food.

She shook her head and simply dragged Xia Meng and Xia Wen to watch TV. It was quite pleasant to watch TV, eat snacks, and chat.

When it's time to eat, a group of people will sit together and eat.

Xia Lihua shouted, "Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready! Quickly set up a few more tables, and those guys in the yard, stop playing cards and bring your tables over to eat."

She actually wanted to play cards too, but she had to entertain guests today, so she decided to wait until after lunch to play.

"Okay, let's eat. We'll call again after we finish eating." The group packed up their things.
