Chapter 299 Lively Table
The old god also said that he estimated that he only had a few years left in his life, so he could only help the children lay the foundation to make them flexible and strong, so that they would not need to go through such complicated rituals as entering the Taoism.
Ah Yuan is truly overjoyed at this point, this is the best, the children will not suffer too much, and the physical training will benefit them for a lifetime, which is the highest requirement of being a mother.
As for delicious food, there is no shortage of it in the princess's mansion. The cake room allows the elderly to find food by themselves. There is a continuous supply of meat and vegetables on the stove. There are even several baskets of wild vegetables, so you can eat as you like!
The cook who came back from digging wild vegetables was very happy. She was born in a poor family and was no stranger to this stuff. Thanks to the word of mouth from the princess, the staple food at noon was shepherd's purse steamed stuffed buns.
The dough is like water, and becomes sticky when you grab it. You need to dip it in flour to roll it into a round shape. After wrapping it, you can't put more in it, just put it in the steamer to steam.
The old fairy made a list of herbal medicines, and Zhang Dashan went out to purchase them as if he were carrying an imperial edict. The era of children soaking in black medicine soup is coming.
Manager Xu was waiting for the old god to eat and watched him happily start to taste the newly baked cake. On his left was a roasted and crispy beggar's chicken. He didn't know whether it tasted salty or sweet when mixed together like this.
?
When it was time to officially have lunch, the old god waved his hand and stopped eating. He was too full!
However, the steamed stuffed buns stuffed with shepherd's purse were served piping hot. The old immortal who had abandoned the delicacies of mountains and seas could not give up the temptation of wild vegetables. In the end, he stuffed two more small buns into his stomach to fill the gap.
A Yuan accompanied the three children to eat, and the "little third child" was still provocative as usual. Now, the eldest brother is more discerning and knows how to protect his bowl and always be wary of the spoon.
In the end, being too smart to keep up with the changes of the times, "Little Lao San" discovered that the big brother's defense was very tight, so he switched to attacking the next three sets.
The little black girl raised her little feet hard, and finally stepped on the elbow of the "little boss", the place most prone to pain and numbness.
The results can be imagined.
The "little boss" opened his mouth again. Just now he was practicing eating hard, and this time he kicked and spilled the spoon and bowl again.
However, reality has long proved that no one will help you even if you cry for days, and you will have to bear the grievances yourself.
The "little boss" pushed his small bowl towards Tweety and murmured: "I want-".
This is a great progress! The word "want" is very important. Only by understanding this word can life have continued meaning.
Cui'er looked at the princess with a worried face, and finally got a nod, so she quickly took the bowl out to wash it, and filled it with a steaming shepherd's purse bun. She tore it open and divided it into countless small pieces.
Let the young master re-practice his ability to control the spoon.
The "little third child" did not wait for the expected goal, his expression was puzzled and unwilling, his body tilted on the baby chair, and his little feet attacked from below again.
What is commendable is that while doing these things, the little girl did not stop chewing in her mouth, and Qing'er pretended not to see it at all. Feed her again when it is time.
The old fairy was very happy to see it. Especially when the "little boss" organized a counterattack, his two little feet walked back and forth without missing a meal. It was so talented!
On the other hand, the "little second child" hid behind the scenes to watch the excitement, holding his own small bowl and eating fiercely, and once again won the first place in fullness.
After eating the portion in the bowl, you can drink a glass of milk. The "little boy" has a white beard on his mouth, and the two little people are still fighting endlessly.
Facts have once again proved that once a boy exerts his strength, a girl's body is no longer impressive. The "little laosan" lost continuously, her feet were sore from being kicked, and she suddenly burst into tears with a "Wow--".
The "little boss" seemed a little surprised. Shouldn't he be the one who cried the most in the past? Why did he change his position this time?
Cui'er carefully peeked at the princess's expression again. Fortunately, just like before, the mother-in-law ignored her and allowed the two children to switch positions of strength and weakness.
If you come out to hang out, you will always have to pay back.
Today's ending is that the "little old third" didn't eat enough and drank an extra glass of milk.
After taking the three children away to wash and change clothes, the old Taoist priest laughed "hehe" and pointed at A Yuan and shook his head: "Unexpectedly, in the royal princess's house, the method of raising children is the same as in the Taoist temple. The little ones are thrown away by the adults when they are young.
After entering the Taoist temple, I learned early on that I have to make my own survival. There are also disputes between brothers and strong and weak. Gradually, they can be balanced. Of the three children in your family, you don’t know who will be more successful when they grow up.
?”
A Yuan was stunned for a moment. The way he raised his children was the same as in the Taoist temple? Didn't he look like a loving mother? Could it be that other mothers really didn't manage like this?
It looks like Li Wei, who always lets Bao'er crawl around and stick to her body, and obeys whatever she wants; looks like Luliu, who also loves Yaya very much, and Yaya pushes the bowl over,
He still smiles proudly, as if the child has grown up and is capable.
Is their method the right one? My management method inherited from the orphanage is exactly the same as that of the Taoist temple. Does that mean that I, as a mother, am incompetent and have not fulfilled my obligations?
My sister never wanted her children to enjoy the living atmosphere of an orphanage, even though she once thought it was pretty good.
There was some unspeakable sadness in A Yuan's voice, and her denial of herself was caused by the old god's unintentional words.
"I - never thought - that I have to let them have a great future, as long as they are - healthy - happy - it will be fine."
The old god shook his robe sleeves and swayed out, leaving Ah Yuan, who had always been as proud as a peacock, with tears in his eyes.
Women's emotions are sometimes out of control, and an unintentional word may bring about endless consequences.
For example, at this moment, Old John came forward cautiously and wanted to apologize for what happened last time, but Ah Yuan waved his hand: "You can become an apprentice in the carpentry workshop. I have approved it. You can learn whatever you want."
When a princess is in a bad mood, she cannot take it out on others. She can only take care of the tomato seedlings in the garden by herself, like a real old farmer, holding up her trouser legs, loosening the soil in the ridges, and watering.
Because they were still the second generation of cultivated tomato seedlings, and the seeds were too precious, and they couldn’t bear to throw away a few of them, Ah Yuan left all the big, plump seeds to the tenants, and made do with some “defective products” himself.
In fact, before the fruit comes out, who can absolutely judge what kind of seeds are most suitable?
The soil in this garden is fertile, but growing flowers is actually more difficult than farming. I wonder if the original Princess Izumi would have approved of selling all the precious flowers in the garden and turning it into a tomato garden.
The dozens of feet of silk fabrics that were consumed have been removed from the vegetable garden. The maids have washed them cleanly and repaired the damaged areas so that they can be used again when the weather is cool.
The vegetable seedlings that are half a palm high are very beautiful. Because it is the first time to do it by myself, there is no basis for the thinness. Some are three or two together, and some are even five or six crowded. If I water them today, they will be all the same tomorrow morning.
Keep them loose and move some away.
In fact, the princess's mansion not only needs gardeners to tend the precious flowers in the gardens, but also needs a farmer who knows how to farm in all four seasons. Even in the eyes of a person who has experienced starvation since childhood, growing vegetables is far more practical and practical than growing flowers.
precious.
"Manager Xu, please post a notice. The Princess' Mansion is hiring a farmer. Those with vegetable growing experience will be given priority."
Finally tired from sweating and feeling relieved, the princess came out of the vegetable garden and gave the first order.
Awen went home, accompanied Afu, who was still dull, and dragged old John who was always probing his head.
Look, everyone has knots that they can't untie.
This dinner was quite crowded due to the large number of people, and Zhang Dashan, as the children's "nephew", was allowed to serve.
Together with the elusive old immortal, and even an uninvited guest, Master Zhengdongfang, the Qintian Supervisor who has not been seen for a long time, the team is quite large.
To be honest, the princess's master's dining table has never been occupied by more than five adults. Now seven adults are eating, three children are making trouble, three maids are feeding, and a group of boys are serving food...
…
Steamed wild vegetables, mixed with smashed garlic, is a delicacy that even a god would make; braised pork is suitable for those men who feel that no matter how much oil and water they have in their stomachs, they still don’t have enough. Old John pours the gravy into the rice.
Stir and stir, eating one tablespoon after another is very satisfying. He is also lonely. There are so many people accompanying him to eat, and his stomach is full even without food!
"Sister-in-law, you want to recruit a farmer, and I happen to have a suitable candidate. Just leave it alone. I will ask him to spare some time every day to cultivate your vegetable field, and I will promise not to disturb the life of the house."
Wen's eyes were chattering wildly, although the upper and lower outlines of his eyes were still a little smaller and thinner.
"Okay, we don't need others to delay our own fields, just take the time to take care of it for us. You can pay the wages as long as you don't take it out of the public account. I see that Manager Xu is about to come to me and cry again."
Yuan couldn't bear to see how this younger brother was tempted. He would definitely come up with some unlucky idea as soon as his eyes rolled around. It was a good time to find some source of his salary.
"No problem! Sister-in-law, just wait to eat wolf peaches from now on!"
It's so rare, this guy is so generous? Usually he's used to only getting in and not getting out.
Could it be that the way I educate my own children is incorrect, but it is suitable for my younger siblings?
Because there were so many people at this meal, the three children sat together in a row. The warmonger Song Haohao did not accept the lesson learned at noon, and once again openly put one foot on the "little boss"'s foot and stepped on it with one hand.
I explored the cheeks of the "little guy" next door. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
