Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2215 Cousin is a capitalist lady 42
Zhang Hui wandered over to Zhang Yu and noticed her writing something on a piece of paper. She leaned over to take a look and asked, "Is it venison?"

Do we have venison?

"Cumin lamb? You still have lamb here?" Good heavens, Zhang Hui knew that Zhang Yu had been preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, but she never expected it to be so lavish. She was shocked.

She was very unhappy before, after all, she couldn't go back for the New Year. Even though she had many opinions about the Zhang family, they were still family, and it would be very lively to go back for the New Year.

But now, looking at the food Zhang Yu prepared, she felt that not going back for the New Year wasn't so bad after all.

"Yeah, so we can have a big feast this New Year. Um, how much are you planning to contribute?" Zhang Yu realized she had forgotten to mention money.

Since most of the meat was prepared by Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong, they usually didn't care about such things.

Ahhh, how much are you planning to spend? This question really stumped her. Looking at the menu, she knew the New Year's Eve dinner would definitely be good, but she just hadn't thought about the money.

She always ate whatever Zhang Yu cooked, saying, "What do you think I should pay?"

Although she didn't want to pay, she knew that if she wasn't willing to pay, her New Year's Eve dinner would be terrible, with very little meat to eat.

When asked how much she should pay, Zhang Yu rolled her eyes dismissively, "I'd like you to pay a lot more, is that even possible?"

"Wait, do you even have any money?" Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Hui's embarrassed face. "Don't you think you can spend all the money you have?"

"Give me five yuan," Zhang Yu thought for a moment, feeling that the amount couldn't be too low.

What? Zhang Hui knew that if Zhang Yu asked for money, it wouldn't be cheap, but she didn't expect him to ask for five yuan directly.

"Are you robbing me? How can you ask for so much?" Even though she knew that this New Year's Eve dinner was really lavish, it still wasn't worth five yuan.

"There's plenty. At least until the fifth day of the new year, the food won't be bad." Zhang Yu rolled her eyes without any politeness. If Zhang Hui hadn't been eating with them before, she would have avoided bringing Zhang Hui along.

"You mean the meals will be like this from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?" If that's the case, then the five yuan is definitely worth it. After all, Zhang Yu's cooking skills are quite good, and it's meat, so it must taste delicious.

"The food isn't always like this, but every meal will have plenty of meat and fish." That much can be guaranteed. "You can participate if you want, or not if you don't."

Seeing Zhang Yu's impatient attitude, Zhang Hui thought for a moment. Zhang Yu had never lied to her before, so she decided to agree.

"Okay, I'll pay." Zhang Hui was worried that Zhang Yu would regret it if she turned around, so she quickly went back to get the money and handed it to Zhang Yu directly.

Zhang Yu said "Oh," and added, "This money is also for Zhao Yadong and the others." They prepared most of the ingredients, so she wouldn't keep any of the money.

When Zhang Hui heard Zhang Yu say that the money was for Zhao Yadong and the others, her mood improved considerably. It was good, really good.

Zhao Yadong was puzzled when he saw the money Zhang Yu was handing him, not understanding why he was giving them money out of the blue.

"I had Zhang Hui pay for this. After all, she ate with us, and the food was so good. She didn't do any work, so she has to pay for it. You can split it among yourselves." Zhang Yu briefly explained where the money came from.

"Zhang Hui gave me the money?" Zhao Yadong said, "Oh, then I won't be polite." "By the way, do you need any help?" He remembered that every year during the Spring Festival, his family was always busy, and he, as the assistant, was always incredibly busy.

“No need.” Zhang Yu waved her hand, indicating that she could handle it by herself. “It’ll be a quick meal for the four of us for New Year’s Eve.”

"I used to prepare New Year's Eve dinner for about ten people all by myself, and I did everything from start to finish without asking anyone for help." The original owner was truly extraordinary, as she didn't need anyone's assistance.

Even if she says it's hard and asks for help, she probably won't get any, so she might as well save her energy.

Preparing a New Year's Eve dinner for ten or more people all by yourself? Zhao Yadong was stunned. "You can manage all that by yourself?"

"Why not? I still need to wash all the clothes my family has changed out of, and I need to take a bath on New Year's Eve."

“I’ve been working since I was ten years old,” Zhang Yu said casually. “I’ve gotten used to it.”

"So these tasks are really not tiring for me." Zhang Yu didn't look at Zhao Yadong and the others' expressions, and didn't want to see their pitying looks.

"Looking back now, I really should thank them for training me and letting me take over all the housework. You don't know, after I came to Northeast China, my house was really in chaos, since there was one less person to do the work."

“They thought that something a young girl like me could easily handle, my sister Zhang Juan could also handle, but she still hasn’t done it well. Thanks to her, my parents now realize my importance.” Zhang Yu knows that school is on winter break now, but she doesn’t know if Zhang Juan has gone shopping for New Year’s goods.

We should go shopping, otherwise this New Year's Eve will really become a big joke.

Zhang Juan was busy going from vegetable market to supply and marketing cooperative with coupons, buying this and that. To be honest, if her neighbor hadn't seen her helpless look and kindly offered to take her shopping, she really wouldn't have known that buying New Year's goods was so tedious.

Some things are purchased here, some things are purchased there, and more importantly, even if you have money and coupons, you may not be able to buy them because there are limits on the quantity of each item.

Looking at Zhang Juan's dejected face, the neighbors couldn't help but compare her to Zhang Yu, saying, "They're sisters, but the difference is huge."

"That's right. When Xiaoyu was around, we were always the first to grab it."

"That's right, they're always the ones rushing ahead, but look at Zhao Juan now, she's even more slow than us older folks."

"That's right. When Xiaoyu was around, she would help me carry things, but now that girl Zhang Juan is here, she doesn't even want me to help her carry things, let alone help me carry things."

When Zhang Juan heard what her neighbors were saying behind her back, she would have been indignant in the past. It was just buying something; Zhang Yu could do it, so why couldn't she?

Now that she's taken over, she realizes how difficult it really is. It requires both brainpower and physical strength; it's truly exhausting.

More importantly, when she brought back the things she had finally managed to snag, her parents didn't praise her at all. Instead, they complained that she was slow, that she hadn't cooked, or done the laundry, and so on.

In short, after returning home, there were still many chores waiting for her to do. Zhang Juan was very unhappy and had made a fuss about it before, but her parents' attitude was that if Zhang Yu could do something, why couldn't she do it?

She even said that with two fewer people in the house, the housework would be easier. Zhang Juan really wanted to curse. There were two fewer people in the house, but she wasn't Zhang Yu, and she wasn't that efficient at housework.

Zhang Juan hated Zhang Fu and his gang to the core. As for Zhang Yu, there was no use in hating him. What troubled her even more was that she didn't know what to do for the New Year's Eve dinner.
