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

Chapter 137 In-laws

Wang Xia took the oranges and placed them on the table. "Come on, everyone, have some oranges. These oranges are delicious."

"Good" Li's parents hadn't had a chance to eat the village's oranges before, and neither had Xia Ziqi and Li Qing. Xia Ziqi thought they were just ordinary oranges that his family used to grow.

So she accepted the oranges with a normal expression and distributed them casually. Li's mother didn't care much when she took the oranges, but thinking that it wouldn't hurt to eat some fruit after such a long journey, she broke the oranges open and casually broke off a new segment to eat.

It wasn't until I took a bite that I realized something was wrong. This orange was so sweet and juicy, even the white pith tasted exceptionally delicious and sweet, and the aroma was very long-lasting. After taking a bite, I felt a lingering fragrance in my mouth.

The people around me felt the same way.

"Wow, this orange is so delicious! It's so delicious that I want to swallow the peel too."

"My God, this is wonderful! I've never eaten such delicious oranges before."

"Mmm, delicious!"

Li's mother subconsciously finished the whole thing, only realizing what she was doing when she wanted to eat the next one.

He grabbed one and coughed awkwardly twice. "Mother-in-law, did you grow these oranges or where did they come from? They're so delicious. I've never seen such delicious oranges before."

Xia Ziqi was also very surprised. "Mom, these are obviously not our oranges. Where did you buy such premium fruit? We've never had them before."

Although the other Li family relatives didn't say anything, they couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully, while their mouths kept moving, and they ate the oranges faster and faster.

Wang Xia was incredibly proud of everyone's expressions. No matter where they came from before, once they tasted the oranges from Xiajia Village, they were reluctant to leave. Who wouldn't praise them?

Just as she was about to speak, Xiaodou jumped out first, "Hey, brother, it's all your and your wife's fault for not coming back on your own before. These are Shiyu's oranges, they're so delicious. Mom brought some back before and we ate them all in one day."

Wang Xia patted Xiaodou's head, "You always have such a quick tongue."

Then he nodded, "That's right, these are the oranges Shi Yu grew. They're delicious. I'm planning to buy some to serve as dessert at the banquet."

When Li's mother first heard that it was other people in the village who made it, she was a little surprised. When she learned that these oranges were to be used as fruit at the banquet, she was even more amazed.

She hadn't expected the Xia family to really go all out this time. You could tell from the taste that these oranges were definitely not cheap, and they would be excellent for cooking.

She nodded repeatedly, "My mother-in-law really put her heart into it."

Wang Xia was practically beaming from ear to ear, but she still modestly said, "Not at all, not at all."

Xia Ziqi was stunned. He recognized Xia Shiyu, having encountered her several times in the village, though they weren't very familiar with each other. He never expected her to be so capable, able to grow such delicious fruit.

"Mom, Xiaoyu is amazing!"

Wang Xia nodded, "That's right, there's a lot you don't know, Shi Yu is really amazing."

"Okay, okay, I'll go find Shi Yu later to buy some oranges for home to eat."

Wang Xia nodded, and was about to say something when she heard a commotion outside.

"What's going on?"

Li's parents also peeked out, and just then, Xiaodou ran out and came back in, saying, "Mom, it's Chef Qiu cooking, it smells so good!"

"Oh, I see."

That's right. Chef Qiu had almost finished preparing everything else. He checked the time and realized it was time to start stir-frying the vegetables. So he had someone take out the vegetables, wash them, and prepare them. He then stir-fried them in oil and also made a vegetable and tofu soup.

As soon as the dish was put in the pan, the aroma wafted over, and everyone around could smell it.

"Wow, it smells so good! What kind of dish are they cooking?"

"The stir-fried meat didn't smell this good at all."

"That's right, let's go see if Chef Qiu has cooked something delicious."

"Yes, yes, a bunch of people gathered around to look at the dishes."

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Chef Qiu had actually cooked vegetarian dishes.

"My goodness, even vegetables can smell this good!"

"Those leaves look very green and pretty."

"Wow, no wonder he's a famous chef in the surrounding area, this stir-fried vegetable dish is absolutely delicious."

Surrounded by people praising her, Chef Qiu knew perfectly well that it wasn't her contribution at all, but rather the food itself.

When Xia Shiyu arrived with her family, she was surprised to find that there were hardly any people at the table where the feast was being held.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that everyone was gathered around Chef Qiu, watching him cook.

Xia Shiyu shook his head and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, let's go and write a letter of thanks first."

"Grandpa and Grandma, please find a seat first."

"it is good"

Xia Shiyu brought people over to write the name of the shop. She looked up, about to say her father's name, but her father said directly, "Just write Xia Shiyu."

Xia Shiyu looked up in surprise. They usually write the names of elders here, so why is her name being written here?

Xia Lihua shook his head and gestured for her to look. The old man in charge of the gift shop wrote down his name readily. His calligraphy was very elegant. He looked up at Xia Shiyu with a kind expression and said, "Xiao Yu, you are quite famous in our village now. People say your name is good, and everyone remembers it."

You know, ever since Xia Shiyu started growing vegetables in the village, everyone in the village knows her. Some people don't even know her parents, they only know Xia Shiyu.

Xia Shiyu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then took out 500 yuan to write a favor.

"Write 500."

"it is good"

When they write down the monetary gift, they usually start with 100 or 200 yuan for casual acquaintances. This time it's for her third great-uncle's family, and since many family members are coming, they'll just write 500 yuan.

After she finished writing, she originally wanted to pull her parents to sit at the table with her maternal grandparents, but the Xia family members waiting next to her called her to her third great-uncle's table.

After a long exchange of pleasantries, they finally took their seats.

The sound of firecrackers crackling and popping rang out.

Xia Wangshan, Wang Xia, and Li's parents, along with the entire family, stood in the center holding Niu Niu, and said a lot of polite words before the meeting ended.

"Welcome everyone to our little girl's one-month celebration! We hope you all enjoy the food and drinks!"

"Okay!" Everyone clapped. After the clapping stopped, the dishes could be served.
