Jiang Zhimiao had a clear conscience. Most of the people who came here came to watch the excitement. No one in the village was rich, so eating two restaurants in one day was really too much.

But it was too much to bear. She could not care about their sudden change of heart because she was kind-hearted. Even if she didn't explain it, she was still asking for free food. She was not so kind-hearted.

The good meal was interrupted two or three times, and Jiang Zhimiao lost interest in eating.

Seeing her tough attitude, Mother Wen laughed twice, patted her back, and glanced outside the courtyard displeased: "Miaomiao, you did the right thing. Come when you want to, and don't come if you don't want to. Our family's Not everyone can afford the banquet."

No one can greet such a person who changes his mind at last minute with a smile. For such a person who changes his mind at last minute and is dissatisfied, it is a good thing that she has not done anything.

As soon as the words of the gift money came out, the people outside the courtyard immediately dispersed, and no one could be seen. Seeing that no one was disturbing, Jiang Zhimiao carefully picked up the bowl and started eating.

After two hours of feasting, everyone wiped their mouths, burped and went home together with round bellies.

Jiang Zhimiao counted the details and found that the banquet today cost a total of five taels of silver. He received less than twenty coins as a gift, and there was still a lot of food left over. Although the event was grand, there were not enough people, so luckily there was not enough food. Have fun.

Yu Shui took the five taels of silver and bought all the things according to the standard of five taels of silver. Now that the people were gone, he was instantly troubled when he saw the ingredients piled on the floor in the kitchen.

Although it's cold today, it won't go bad if it's left for a while, but with so many dishes at home, just Jiang Zhimiao's family can only eat three meals a day. I'm afraid it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. .

"There are so many dishes left to be cooked, what should we do?" Yu Shui pulled his head anxiously, feeling worried and angry.

Looking at the pile of vegetables on the ground, Jiang Zhimiao comforted him and said with a smile: "If you can't finish it, just finish it. I'll find time to go out and sell it on the street. This dish is so good, so I'll I don’t believe that people who don’t know the goods bought it.”

Yu Shui nodded dully: "You're right, it seems this is the only way to do it."

All kinds of meat and vegetables accounted for the majority. After all the shopping, there were only two hundred copper coins left from the five taels of silver. Yu Shui took out the remaining copper coins from his arms and handed them to Jiang Zhimiao. He looked at her straightly and said, "This is the leftover copper coins." The details of the money I placed are on the paper, and there are still two hundred coins left."

Jiang Zhimiao took it and spread out the paper on which he had written specific details. He saw many realistic curves drawn on it, and the amount of money was written on the back. Although the drawings were a bit strange, fortunately they were more realistic. She He was recognized at a glance.

There were few people in the village who were literate, and few could use paper and pen. Seeing that his paintings were decent, Jiang Zhimiao knew that he must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

After glancing up and down, she put the details into her sleeves and said with a smile: "Uncle, this account is correct. I owe this time to you. If you hadn't come to help me, I wouldn't have known how busy I would be." What happened, thank you, uncle."

She pushed back the money he handed over and deliberately said with a straight face: "Uncle, what do you mean? Didn't I agree before that the rest is your wages? Don't give it to me, keep it for yourself. Well, no matter what, I can’t let you work for nothing, right?”

"Which family in this family has a better life? You have been working so early in the morning and haven't stopped yet. You deserve all this money. Don't think it's too much. If you have more, just treat it as if I bought it for my eldest nephew." The candy is so sweet, don’t give it to me.”

Yu Shui looked embarrassed, and slowly collected the money, saying nonchalantly: "Then, I will thank you on behalf of your eldest nephew, but this money is indeed a bit too much. Normally, the wages for a banquet are That's fifty or sixty coins. Two hundred coins is indeed a bit much." He counted the fifty coins and quickly stuffed the remaining coins back: "I'll just accept the fifty coins. The rest are really It’s a bit too much.”

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned for a moment, knowing in her heart that he didn't want to charge more, but it was her business whether to give it or not.

She counted another fifty coins and stuffed it over: "Uncle, you have to take this money whether you want it or not. I don't care how others give it to me. This is all I have. You will be exhausted every day." If you want to live, you earned this money yourself, why don’t you accept it?”

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Yu Shui had no choice but to accept it: "Then, then I'll take the money. This, this is really it."

Seeing that he wanted to say more, Jiang Zhimiao interrupted: "Uncle, it's getting late. Let's put everything in order. The tables and chairs in the yard have to be returned. There are still a lot of things to do. .”

Clearing the table was not troublesome, after all, there were only four tables in total. The main thing was that returning the tables was a bit time-consuming. To be honest, if she had known they wouldn't come, she wouldn't have bothered to borrow tables and chairs. I'm sorry, Still laborious.

When I borrowed the table and chairs in the morning, I made a good promise. I said I would come, and I would definitely come. Now I turned around and went to eat at someone else's table. If I said I was unhappy, it would be a lie. However, eating She had eaten everything and didn't care about her anymore. Her top priority now was to return the tables and chairs.

Originally, she wanted to pay it back herself, but Yu Shui refused to let it go, saying that she was afraid that she would cause some unpleasantness by not letting them in to eat, and she might not look good after all. Thinking that this was indeed the case, Jiang Zhimiao decided. Let him return it.

Mrs. Qian and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family were the cooks, but the time had not come yet and the wages had not been paid, so they naturally helped return the tables and chairs. After about half an hour, the courtyard was finally restored to its original state.

Jiang Zhimiao paid the cook ten cents a day. After paying off the wages, only his family was left in the courtyard.

The Wen family was originally planning to host a banquet, but seeing how unhappy the banquet was, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​hosting a banquet.

The original purpose of holding a banquet was to build relations between neighbors, but this time we held a banquet, but the relationship became even more tense. In this case, it was better not to hold the banquet, which would save us from getting angry.

Jiang Zhimiao agreed with their idea very much. The originally good dinner was disrupted by Jiang Xingsuo, which made her feel unhappy and didn't care about getting into neighborly relations.

It's not like the villagers can't live without the villagers. They are the kind of people who fall on both sides of the wall and can't help but switch sides at the slightest disturbance. It would be better if there is no relationship. Instead of dating such people, it is better to break off the relationship from the beginning.

Therefore, when Wen Zhuqing proposed not to hold a banquet, she agreed with both hands and feet.

The three children have grown up these days and see things more clearly. They all said in unison that it doesn't matter whether others eat or not, as long as they eat well themselves.

Seeing this, everyone unanimously agreed.
