Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Outside the school in Guojiacun.

Meng Xia picked some good-quality seafood and put them on plates respectively. He took Chang Pingning with him to the school to make it easier for the rich people waiting in the school to choose.

As the two were walking on the road, Meng Xia reminded Chang Pingning in a low voice that she planned to ask the enthusiastic aunts to help clean the ingredients for a while, and wanted Chang Pingning to help observe the efforts of these sisters-in-law.

Chang Pingning nodded.

The two of them were talking quietly when the figure of Mr. You from the school appeared at the corner. After seeing them, he walked towards them with a cold face.

"Hurry up." Meng Xia said, urging Chang Pingning to walk faster.

Chang Pingning didn't understand why Mr. You looked ugly when he saw them.But since Meng Xia didn't want to conflict with Mr. You, she could just follow Meng Xia.

The two of them brought some good-quality seafood for the rich people in the school to choose from. After they finished selecting, Meng Xia quoted a price for each dish. Adding up the prices of all the dishes, the total was three coins.

Chang Pingning listened on the sidelines without any reaction on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.

Three coins is enough for the people in their village to go to Cyclamen for a simple meal.

Chang Pingning was worried that the people in front of him would refuse, but he didn't expect that they just reconfirmed the dishes and prices and agreed to Meng Xia's asking price.

Chang Pingning held back the shock in his heart and exited the school room with Meng Xia.

There were faint sounds of conversation coming from inside the house.

"It's much cheaper than the seafood in the town. Last time I went to the restaurant in the town, a scallop cost two cents."

"Hey, the prices in town are good. I just don't know if the taste in this village is like what Brother Liu introduced..."

The conversation gradually died down.

Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia in surprise. She originally thought that the asking price for Meng Xia's seafood dishes was high enough, but she didn't expect that someone would accept it. When they accepted it, they thought the price was cheap.

"Okay, hurry up and go to Aunt Guangying's house to cook!" Meng Xia seemed to know the psychology behind Chang Pingning's surprised expression, smiled at Chang Pingning, and urged her to go back to cook.

The seafood provided by the aunts was cooked in sand that had been spit out for a while at home. In addition, there were two or three enthusiastic aunts helping to clean the seafood. Chang Pingning came to help Meng Xia again.

It didn't take long for Meng Xia to finish the five dishes and one soup ordered by several wealthy people: steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, stir-fried crab roe, steamed grouper, salt and pepper prawns, salt-baked razor clams, and mustard green soup.

Chang Pingning and the aunts in the kitchen were drooling as they watched Meng Xia skillfully cook the seafood dishes, while praising Meng Xia's craftsmanship.

Meng Xia smiled when she heard everyone's compliments and did not say anything pretentious. She seemed to be used to others praising her cooking skills.

Then Meng Xia asked Aunt Guangying to find some food baskets from home so that she could take the prepared food to school.

Aunt Guangying's home did not have enough food baskets, so an aunt who lived nearby went home and brought three food baskets, so that she could easily put five vegetables and one soup into the food baskets.

Meng Xia called Chang Pingning and two aunts to deliver food to the school. There were four of them in total.After they put the dishes on the table, Meng Xia asked Chang Pingning and the other three to leave, with no intention of letting them stay any longer.

The three of them returned to Aunt Guangying's kitchen, and everyone began to discuss Meng Xia's cooking skills. As they chatted, the topic turned to the prices of these six dishes.

"Miss Meng is worthy of being a cook. These five dishes and one soup are so delicious. I guess in addition to the promised dish money, I can also receive a lot of rewards."

An aunt teased the three people who came back: "She drove you three back so early, isn't she planning to secretly receive the reward herself?"

After hearing this, Aunt Guangying looked a little unhappy: "Didn't our sisters agree to give the seafood at home to Mr. Meng? Why are you thinking about her receiving the reward again?"

"Sister Guangying, don't be angry. It's a huge benefit to us, Miss Meng, no, Mr. Meng. If she hadn't taught us how to read, I wouldn't have known how to write my name for half my life. We I will definitely not be jealous of Mr. Meng’s reward.”

After one aunt started looking for compensation, the other aunts also thanked Meng Xia one after another and spontaneously expressed that they would not be jealous of Meng Xia's reward.

Chang Pingning was a little stunned. He didn't know whether these aunts were telling him specifically to hint that he should not ask Meng Xia for reward, or whether they wanted him to tell Meng Xia what they said.

"Auntie is probably too worried." Chang Pingning decided to change the subject, "Miss Meng asked us to come back early, probably because she didn't want us to run into Mr. You. We met Mr. You twice today..."

Chang Pingning told several aunts about Mr. You's bad attitude towards her and Meng Xia in the school.

"What 'sir'? Huh, it's just the husband of Guo Yuhua's family who stepped in." Aunt Guangying snorted coldly, apparently disdainful of Mr. You's attitude.

Chang Pingning looked at the angry attitudes of the aunts in front of him and knew that he had successfully changed the subject. He took the initiative to ask, why did Mr. You have a bad attitude towards Meng Xia?

Although the aunts didn't know the specific reasons, Chang Pingning felt everyone's disdain for this gentleman from their words.

This Mr. You’s full name is You Yunwang.But his luck was not as good as his name. Although he had studied for several years, he failed to pass the exam every year.In order to continue studying and take exams, he reluctantly agreed to marry into Guojiacun and become Guo Yuhua's sannyasin.

In their first few years of marriage, You Yunwang still had the dream of going to high school in one fell swoop, and the burden of the family fell on Guo Yuhua.But I don’t know if it’s because he couldn’t pass the exam. Anyway, he has never graduated from high school and he only knows a few words.

It was not until Guo Yuhua married Guo Songqing that she refused to let You Yunwang continue to take the exam. Instead, she went to the village chief's wife and arranged for You Yunwang to teach in the village school.But it was just to teach the boys in the village how to read. If there were people in the village who really wanted their children to take the exam, they were later sent to the town or other nearby villages.

Only then did Chang Pingning understand why Mr. You in the school was so dissatisfied with Meng Xia for not restraining himself.

Probably because he was worried that Meng Xia's appearance would affect his job.

While they were chatting in the kitchen, Meng Xia came back. She reminded Chang Pingning to go to the school with her later to clean up the dishes and chopsticks left by the rich people, and then clean up the tables and chairs in the room.Although it is an empty house, it is still a school in the village. It is not good if it is dirty and messy.

Chang Pingning nodded, thinking that Meng Xia would say something more, but she didn't expect that Meng Xia started to clean up Aunt Guangying's kitchen and had no intention of saying more.

Chang Pingning was surprised. Meng Xia really didn't plan to pay these aunts anymore?Her five dishes and one soup were sold for three coins.
