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

Chapter 136 Full Moon Celebration

Wang Xia started getting busy, and also informed her son, daughter-in-law, and in-laws, asking them to arrive on time.

After hearing his mother say that, Xia Ziqi told his wife about it and said, "Let's invite Mom and Dad over tomorrow. It's good for the family to be together before the full moon celebration so we can discuss things."

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell my parents, otherwise they might not be too happy."

Li Qing's words weren't entirely untrue. After all, his parents had some reservations about holding the banquet in the village, but there was nothing they could do since the arrangements were already made.

Wang Xia was very satisfied with the prepared meal. She even brought her parents-in-law over to see it, saying, "Look, Mom and Dad, we've ordered all the dishes. As for the vegetables we bought from Xiaoyu, we can just wash them and cook them fresh tomorrow or the day after."

The two elderly people looked at it carefully from top to bottom and were very satisfied. "Okay, okay, it's very well done. I think these dishes are also very good."

"Okay, that's settled then. Just keep an eye on the food."

As Wang Xia spoke, she wanted to ask her youngest son for help, but he was playing video games with other children at the time.

"Xiaodou, go to that house over there to play games later, and keep an eye on all the groceries I bought from your sister Shiyu." As soon as she said that, Xiaodou, who was a little unhappy because her game was interrupted, suddenly brightened up.

"Dear Mom, let me go see the vegetables. Sure, I'll go."

Surprisingly, the children playing games nearby were also very enthusiastic.

"Auntie, let's go together too."

"Auntie, Auntie, let's go too! I promise not a single mouse will get in."

Wang Xia was initially pleased to see the children's enthusiasm, but then she noticed something was off about their expressions.

She thought about it for a while and then realized, "Oh, so you guys want to keep sneaking food?"

So the biggest rat is still in its own house.

As soon as Wang Xia said this, the children looked embarrassed, as if their thoughts had been exposed.

Wang Xia shook her head. These kids were unreliable. If they were to guard the oranges, at the very least, those baskets would be in danger.

"Forget it, you bunch of useless people. I'll just lock it myself."

Finally, Wang Xia reluctantly locked the door, thinking she could just open it again when she needed to get it.

……

The next day, Wang Xia's family began a busy day, with the hired cook having people wash and chop vegetables.

He picked up a large white radish, looked it over with satisfaction, and then handed it to the person next to him, saying, "This radish needs to be cut up quickly and put in to boil. Radishes take a while to cook."

"Okay, Master Qiu." The assistants took over and began peeling and chopping.

Master Qiu looked at the situation and found it to be very good. He was very satisfied. The radish looked excellent and was perfect for stewing.

He went to prepare the meat and vegetables first. These take a long time to prepare, so cooking them and leaving them aside won't delay anything. However, the green vegetables might not turn out well if he stir-fried them first, so he decided to stir-fry them later.

He moved swiftly, turning the large pot and spatula over and starting to work.

Stir-fried lean meat, stewed pork hock, steamed dishes, braised fish... while others were preparing other cold dishes.

When they set off, Li Qing's parents also traveled there with her family. The journey was a bit bumpy, and Li's mother couldn't help but complain a few times.

"You know, the roads here aren't easy to travel, so why did you insist on coming here? I don't look that great either. We're not going to fight them for the money for the baby's full moon celebration, so why make such a fuss?"

Li's mother harbored resentment. Her family wasn't very satisfied with the place, and it was such a hassle to have to call them down.

Mr. Li was also somewhat dissatisfied, but since it was supposed to be a joyous occasion today, he couldn't just wear a long face.

"Forget it, it's settled now and there's nothing we can do about it. Besides, this is the old man's idea, so we're just being respectful to him."

"Alright, alright," Li's mother said somewhat helplessly, but since it was for her granddaughter to make medicinal wine, she still had to be happy.

The people in the other cars offered words of comfort, saying, "It's alright, it's normal for them to visit each other regularly. Bringing them back to make wine shows that they care about Niu Niu. If they have a second child later, we can bring them back to the city to make wine again."

"Yes, yes, it's a happy day after all."

"Ziqi is a bit immature, but there's nothing we can do about it now that we're already here."

The group exchanged a few words, and Li's mother felt much better. When she finally got off the bus, she still had a smile on her face and walked over there.

As soon as Wang Xia heard that her mother-in-law had arrived, she took her son and daughter-in-law and went over.

"Come on, Xiaoqing, your parents are here. Let's take Niu Niu with us."

"Okay, Mom." Li Qing was quite happy to hug her daughter and they went out together.

After they went outside, Wang Xia and Li's mother had another polite exchange.

"Oh, my dear in-laws, you must be tired from your long journey. Please come in, have a seat, and have some water."

"Oh, my dear in-laws, you're too kind. Luckily, we're not tired. Oh, Niu Niu is here too. Come here, Grandma will give you a hug."

Li Qing carefully placed the child in her mother's arms and said, "Mom, Dad, quickly call all the relatives in first, let them all go in and rest."

"Yes, yes, Mom and Dad, please come in quickly. Is there anything you need that you would like me to bring in?"

Mr. and Mrs. Li shook their heads, "It's nothing, just a little gift for Niu Niu, nothing else."

"Okay, then I'll go help carry them down." Xia Ziqi said and went to help.

Li's parents and a bunch of relatives started walking inside.

Mr. Li looked around and, seeing the lively scene, praised, "Wow, there are so many people! The countryside is definitely more lively."

Looking at the messy environment, Li's mother reluctantly said a few words, "Yes, it looks much more lively over there now, with people cooking."

Wang Xia smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. Our place is still lively, and Chef Qiu is still one of the best chefs here. His cooking is delicious."

"Alright, alright, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mother-in-law." The group of people politely went into the room, followed by the Li family. Regardless of their true feelings, they had to maintain appearances for the moment. It would be terrible to start arguing on such a nice day.

After entering the room, Wang Xia hurriedly called for everyone to sit down, "My in-laws, my mother, please sit down quickly. Xiao Dou, go and get some oranges."

"Mom, you locked up the oranges, didn't you forget?" Xiaodou asked, puzzled. He knew his mother treated him like a thief.

"Oh, okay, okay, I forgot to give you the key. Take this key and go get some oranges."

Wang Xia took off the key and gave it to Xiao Dou, telling him to take it.

Xiaodou took the key and left.

A little while later, they came over with two large platters of oranges.
