Chapter 35 Spicy Potatoes
After Hua Xiali returned home and got the basket, he walked towards the elementary school with Hua Si Nian. As they walked, Hua Si Nian said, "Xia Li, will you go when Qing Mei gets married?"

We are all from the same village and need to show up at weddings and funerals.

Hua Xiali might go to other people's weddings or funerals, but she would not go to Hua Qingmei's wedding. Although the tragedy of her previous life was caused by Wang Liang and herself, Hua Qingmei knew the world inside the grass bead bracelet, but Wang Liang did not tell her. Instead, he took away her opportunity and moved her family away.

If Hua Qingmei in her previous life had told her about this matter and suggested that the two of them share this spiritual spring space, or if she had given some to Hua Qingmei, she would not have hated Hua Qingmei so much. It was obviously hers, but Hua Qingmei took it all for herself. It would have been strange if she didn't hate Hua Qingmei.

What does it have to do with her if Hua Qingmei gets married? Her mother has already given her twenty eggs, isn't that enough?
If her mother had not already sent the eggs over, she would not have wanted to give Hua Qingmei even a pile of chicken shit.

The terrain behind the primary school is relatively high and the soil is very dry. Even weeds cannot grow well, let alone growing crops. Hua Xiali feels helpless when she sees large tracts of land abandoned here and not being used properly. It's a pity that she doesn't have so much money now, otherwise she would definitely buy this land.

Although the land will be demolished in twenty years, there are still twenty years left. She can use this land to make more money for herself in these twenty years!

There are quite a lot of wild garlic here, with clusters of emerald green wild garlic growing together. After Hua Xiali and Hua Si Nian arrived at the place, they didn't say anything, but squatted down and started digging wild garlic.

With a shovel, the wild garlic was dug out. Grab the wild garlic, shake off the dirt on it, and then put it in the basket.

The two of them didn't chat, they just concentrated on digging wild garlic, so they soon dug a large handful. They were not greedy, and thought it was enough for the family to eat for a day, so they went back quickly.

After lunch, Hua Xiali, with the help of his mother, moved all the things needed for the snack stand onto the wooden cart. Hua Xiali dusted his hands and said, "Mom, I don't know what time I will be back in the evening, so you don't have to wait for me to have dinner. Just leave the door open for me, and don't let my brother-in-law come to pick me up. I will take these tools to my uncle's house, so I don't have to work so hard to push them back."

Hua's mother's throat was choked with sobs and she nodded, "Hey, be careful."

"Don't worry, Mom!" Hua Xiali smiled brightly. It was just a stall. Nothing would happen. There was no urban management now. Urban management would not be in place until seven years later. Even if there was one, their small town and county would not have it. In her previous life, she moved to the city with her children when they were in junior high school. She had lived in the city for decades and had never seen such a situation.

Hua's mother helped Hua Xiali push the wooden cart out of the yard. Hua Xiali put the rope over his shoulder and set off dragging the wooden cart.

Hua's mother stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Hua Xiali's thin back, who was the pillar of support for the family. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she felt choked with discomfort in her heart.

Now the eldest and the youngest are both turning a deaf ear to the world outside and focusing on reading the books of sages. They don't have to worry about anything. The burden of the family falls on the shoulders of Xia Li and Zhang Yongfeng.

I hope I can really make money by setting up a snack stand, so that Xia Li can return to the classroom as soon as possible. It would be a shame for him not to take the college entrance examination if he can get awards every year.

Hua Xiali dragged a cart of things with great difficulty to the high school gate. She parked the cart there, walked into the shade, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. She waited to see if she could put the things in the yard of Hua Chunli's dormitory, because it was closer there.

After all, my uncle's house is still twenty minutes away from here. And if you leave things at my uncle's house every day, you must give him certain benefits, otherwise he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Hua Xiali." Hua Xiali was just about to talk to the guard and ask him to let her in when she saw the principal walking towards her from the playground.

"Hello, principal." Hua Xiali quickly saluted the principal. Seeing that it was really Hua Xiali, the principal was very excited, "Hua Xiali, are you back to school?"

Hua Xiali shook his head apologetically and pointed at the things on the wooden cart. "I'm here to set up a stall. I can't come back to class this year because my dad is still unable to get up and needs acupuncture treatment every two weeks. I plan to make some money first and then take my dad to the city hospital for a checkup."

The principal took a look at the things on the wooden cart and realized that she was going to set up a snack stand. "Did you push it here from the countryside?"

Hua Xiali nodded, "Yes, but it takes a lot of time to push these things from the countryside, so I plan to ask my sister if I can put these things in the dormitory yard, which will save me a lot of trouble."

"Put it behind the security guard from now on!" said the principal.

Hua Xiali's eyes lit up, and he was filled with joy. He thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Principal."

The high school opens at five in the morning and closes at eleven at night, so she can push the teppanyaki in at any time. It's really perfect.

The principal said something to the security guard in the guard booth and turned back. Hua Xiali thanked the security guard repeatedly, then quickly found a spot across the street, set up his own stall, and then lit a fire to fry potatoes. After they were done, he prepared a portion for the security guard and sent it over.

This is a Y-shaped intersection, where three roads meet. The passenger flow is very large. Even in the middle of the afternoon, people can be seen walking past from time to time.

Hua Xiali began to shout, "Spicy potatoes, free to try. If they don't taste good, you don't have to pay. If you like them, you can buy them..."

When they heard about the free tasting, people passing by stopped and Hua Xiali handed each of them a bamboo stick and asked them to pick up a piece of potato and eat it.

After everyone tasted the potatoes, their eyes lit up. They didn’t expect that potatoes cooked like this could be so delicious.

As soon as they asked about the price, some people backed off, thinking it was not cost-effective. Potatoes that used to cost five cents a pound were now sold for fifty cents per portion, and they didn't even know if a portion contained a pound. No matter how they thought about it, they felt it was a huge loss.

If some people are reluctant to buy something, there will naturally be others who are willing to do so. After some people ask the price, they will immediately pay for it.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, school was over. Day students or students who lived outside came out for dinner, and those who lived in the dormitory went to the cafeteria to eat. Hua Xiali had a food tasting activity, and many people stopped in front of her stall. The more people stopped, the more people bought, and Hua Xiali's income naturally increased.

When there were fewer and fewer people in front of the stall, Hua Xiali saw Hua Chunli coming over.

"Sister, have you had dinner?" Hua Xiali asked with a smile.
