Chapter 18 Difficulties in transitioning from luxury to frugality
When Shen Qingyu returned home, it was already past lunch time, and the children were eating with the two men.
Hearing the movement of the donkey cart, the three children rushed out to pick it up.
Shen Qingyu looked at the three children who were still full of oil, and was a little surprised: "You are eating well, why are you running out?"
When the two men heard the commotion, they also went out to take a look.
Xiao Yunqi looked a little awkward: "I thought you were eating in town, so I didn't wait for you."
Shen Qingyu didn't care at all: "That's good, you don't have to wait for me in the future. Let's eat, I'll wash my hands."
"Mother..." Dabao stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qingyu turned around and asked while washing her hands.
Erbao pulled Dabao's sleeves.
Dabao: "Nothing, come and eat."
Entering the main room, Shen Qingyu was surprised: there was a large pot of pork belly stewed with potatoes on the table. It looked quite big, but the three children ate very elegantly. Xiaobao was even eating white rice.
"Why don't you eat meat?" Shen Qingyu asked, taking a piece into his mouth.
Then Shen Qingyu looked strange: No wonder the children don't like to eat it.
This pork belly stew with potatoes cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it is definitely not delicious.
The pork belly is not oily and not soft. It is boiled directly with white water and potatoes, and it is very greasy when you eat it.
The taste is also a bit salty.
Shen Qingyu sighed and looked at the two men: "Who cooked the food for you?"
Xiao Yunqi dared to take action: "I."
Wenche felt ashamed: "I can't cook."
Shen Qingyu nodded: "It tastes much better than what I made before."
The three children were dumbfounded.
Originally, when they saw their mother eating vegetables, they were still full of hope: Mom, try it, your cooking is still delicious, how about you cook it from now on?
Who would have thought that Shen Qingyu would actually compare the food cooked by his father with the food cooked by his mother...
I couldn't even eat meat before.
How does this compare?
Shen Qingyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the three children, her tone was calm, and her eyes were serious: "Do you think dad's cooking is not as delicious as mom's recent cooking?"
The three children nodded like garlic.
"How about the food cooked by dad compared to the food cooked by mother a long time ago?"
The triplets looked at each other, and representative Dabao spoke: "It tastes better than what my mother made before."
"If that's the case, why can't you eat it?" Shen Qingyu's expression remained calm.
This also made the triplets less scared.
Dabao thought for a while and then said: "It's because we've been used to eating delicious food made by my mother recently. If we eat this kind of food again, we won't be used to it."
Shen Qingyu nodded: "I went into town today and the grain and oil shop said that if it doesn't rain again and affects the planting, the price of rice, flour and food may increase. By then, many people may not be able to eat, let alone eat meat."
Triplets: "..."
"Food should not be wasted. Now that you are full, go and learn how to read from your cousin. I will heat up the remaining food in the evening and we will continue to eat."
The triplets nodded and ate obediently.
Shen Qingyu looked at Wenche again: "Wenche, I want to ask you something today."
Wenche put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Cousin, please speak."
"I heard a saying at the gate of the rural school today that it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Please tell the children about it later."
"Sure." Wenche agreed simply.
Professionals are very relevant: Who knows this sentence best? No one in the whole country knows it better than Wen Che!
After Shen Qingyu said this, he picked up a few pieces of meat and potatoes and started eating the food.
Seeing Shen Qingyu eating so well, the triplets couldn't help but start eating.
Xiao Yunqi was surprised and disappointed: from beginning to end, she never said a bad word about herself.
She is obviously such a sharp-tongued woman...
Is it because you and I signed a divorce agreement and are not a family, so you don’t talk about yourself?
After the meal, Shen Qingyu arranged for Dabao to wash the dishes, Erbao to wash the pig grass, and Sanbao to feed the donkey.
The donkey screamed "Ah, hungry, hungry": The baby is very wronged and was slapped in the face by the owner...
Sanbao's little hands touched the donkey's face and persuaded: "Hitting is a kiss and a scolding, and it is love. My mother beats you because she feels sorry for you...be good..."
The donkey felt even more aggrieved: "Ah, I'm hungry..."
The triplets finished their work and went to Wenche's room to study. Shen Qingyu went back to the room, closed the door, and entered the space.
The soybeans in the kitchen have just swollen, and the soybeans next to the spatial spiritual spring have already sprouted.
The time difference is at least twice that!
The valley in the space was full of grass. Shen Qingyu took out the seeds of soybeans, mung beans, rice, and wheat. With just a thought, the land was plowed by himself, and all kinds of beans, wheat, and rice seeds were planted by himself.
There was still a little space left, and Shen Qingyu threw in two chopped red tomatoes.
As the last bit of open space was planted, the space rumbled and Shen Qingyu was kicked out.
"For the first time, the planting area of the space is 100%. The space is being upgraded. Please stay tuned..." The long-lost electronic prompt sounded.
"Huh?" Shen Qingyu sat on the bed in surprise, surprised and happy.
Can the space be upgraded?
What new changes will there be after the upgrade?
look forward to.
Shen Qingyu cooked pigs, fed the pigs, washed the triplets... It was evening again, and it was time to cook.
Put the remaining vegetables on the stove at noon, pick out the pork belly, fry it slowly over low heat to get the oil, then put the potatoes in and stir-fry, add water and simmer.
In fact, Xiao Yunqi's pork belly and braised potatoes are not inedible, but the heat is not enough, and the salt is all on the surface and has not gone in.
It will be delicious when it is cooked through.
The children's appetites indeed improved again during dinner.
After eating, Dabao sighed: "I am so happy to eat potatoes and meat every day."
Shen Qingyu suddenly realized: Isn’t it?
It's usually potatoes and meat, or eggs and tomatoes...
The tomatoes were picked and frozen last winter.
Now that the weather is hot and it has completely thawed, we can't eat tomatoes anymore.
There are actually two old pumpkins placed in the corner of the backyard.
The wild vegetables on the mountain are now very tender, but the three children are too young to ask them to go up the mountain.
The spring bamboo shoots are starting to appear...
"Xiao Yunqi?" Shen Qingyu looked kind.
"What?" Xiao Yunqi was nervous subconsciously, but inexplicably looking forward to what was going on?
"There are many spring bamboo shoots and wild vegetables on the mountain. If you are free during the day, can you go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables?" Shen Qingyu suggested.
Xiao Yunqi looked strange: "Sure."
I was thinking about an excuse to go out, and this excuse is pretty good.
"Mom, I'm going too! I know a lot of wild vegetables! And I have Xiao Huang following me. Xiao Huang will protect me and everything will be fine." Xiao Bao enthusiastically introduced himself.
"You're still young, what are you doing? It's not safe." Shen Qingyu subconsciously objected.
Xiao Yunqi immediately objected: "No! I can't walk fast with you!"
How can you do the things you want to do when you have a child?
Xiaobao pursed his lips in grievance, and Wenche immediately comforted him: "You have to learn to read and read with me in the morning, and all the sisters must learn to read."
The triplets had no choice but to give up.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yunqi went out to the mountains.
Shen Qingyu also went out and continued selling glutinous rice.
Yesterday I told Qi Han that the dock can be set up, so I will go directly to the dock today.
But as soon as Shen Qingyu entered the town, she saw someone selling glutinous rice in a similar wooden barrel, and sold it for seven cents a piece.
