120 Party
“There aren’t many people and there’s no need to hire a chef for the party. When we were building the house, just the two of us plus you and Aunt w.a.n.g could serve 20 to 30 people, and that’s before we had a proper kitchen.”
“After we move, our kitchen will be big and easier to operate. It shouldn’t be a problem to deal with 6 or 7 tables of people.” Liu Shi said.
“Or, I’ll go ask Aunt Jiang tomorrow and see if she can bring Xiaohua to help us.”
In addition to Aunt Jiang and Xiao Hua, there would be six people in the kitchen. They should be able to handle it.
“Alright, we’ll decide on the menu tomorrow. I’ll be in charge of buying the ingredients.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
This was the first party since she came to this world, and she was looking forward to it.
“I’ll arrange the table, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks.” Li Xiao added.
During the construction period, he had gotten familiar with the other families, so he just needed to go and borrow tables, chairs, plates, and chopsticks in advance.
“Yes. You can go out, Yue’er and I will be at home.” Liu Shi added.
The family discussed the details of the party before resting.
Finally, 3 days later.
Before dawn, Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue rode the ox-cart to town.
They bought the items according to the list and rushed back to Daishi Village before 9 o’clock.
Then, Li Xiao lit the firecrackers.
Liu Shi, who was wearing new clothes, brought her family, who were also wearing new clothes, into the house with firewood, rice, oil, and salt. It symbolized bringing wealth into the family.
After a quarter of an hour, Liu Shi and the others put away the things they had brought in and came to the door to welcome the guests.
Only then did Aunt w.a.n.g, w.a.n.g Erya, w.a.n.g Shuanzi, Aunt Jiang, and Xiaohua enter.
Following that, they were preparing the food.
Li Xiao and w.a.n.g Shuanzi took the things from the ox-cart to the kitchen and then went to the front yard.
There was still some time before lunch, and it was still the busy season for farmers. The Liu family thought that not many people would come early.
They didn’t expect that not long after they entered the house, some women arrived with their children
These people were curious about the Liu family’s residence, and they were here to help.
The salary that the Liu family paid the workers to help build the house was not low, and they earned quite a bit of money working for them.
Moreover, the Liu family treated them very well. No one could find any fault with the food they provided.
The workers had a good time here, so they told their families when they returned.
Hence, they volunteered to help the Liu family during their housewarming.
Soon, a lot of people came to the kitchen. Seeing that Liu Shi didn’t have much to do, Aunt w.a.n.g suggested that she go out and entertain the guests.
“That’s right, mom. We’ll keep an eye on the kitchen. Go ahead and give Li Xiao some guidance. There are many people in the village that he doesn’t even know.” Lin Xiaoyue also said.
Liu Shi was a little hesitant.
“Qing’er is recording the guests’ gifts. Why don’t you help him? He doesn’t know anyone, so you can introduce them to him.” Lin Xiaoyue said again.
Only then did Liu Shi agree.
“Alright, I’ll go then.” She finally left the kitchen.
When she left the kitchen, someone immediately greeted and congratulated her.
Liu Shi smiled and went to where Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi were.
She saw Xiao Qing holding a pen and recording the details of the guests’ gifts. Then, he and Lin Xiaozhi invited the guests to come inside.
They were respectful, gentle, and polite, and they received the guests’ compliments.
Liu Shi was once again amazed by Xiao Qing.
This child really looked like a young master from a n.o.ble family.
