Chapter 18 From luxury to frugality
When Shen Qingyu returned home, it was already past lunch, and the children were eating with the two masters.
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 guys eat well, what are you doing running out?" ”
When the two gentlemen heard the movement, they also went out to see.
Xiao Yunqi's face was slightly awkward: "I thought you were eating in the town, so I didn't wait for you." ”
Shen Qingyu didn't care: "This is very good, you don't have to wait for me in the future." Let's eat, let's go wash my hands. ”
"Mother......" Dabao wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qingyu asked while washing his hands.
Erbao pulled Dabao's sleeve.
Dabao: "It's nothing, come and eat." ”
Entering the hall, Shen Qingyu was also surprised: a big pot of pork belly stewed potatoes on the table looked quite large, but the three children were eating very gentle, and Xiaobao was even eating white rice.
"Why don't you eat meat?" Shen Qingyu asked as he put a piece into his mouth.
Then Shen Qingyu looked strange: no wonder the children don't like to eat.
This pork belly stew with potatoes can't be said to be unpalatable, but it's definitely not delicious.
The pork belly is not oily, nor is it soft, and it is boiled directly with white water and potatoes, and it is very greasy to eat.
The taste is also on the salty side.
Shen Qingyu sighed and looked at the two masters: "Who are you cooking?" ”
Xiao Yunqi dared to act: "I." ”
Wen Che was ashamed: "I don't know how to cook." ”
Shen Qingyu nodded: "It's much more delicious than I used to make." ”
The three babies were dumbfounded.
Originally, when they watched their mothers eat vegetables, they were still full of hope: Mother, you can taste it, or you will make it delicious, or you will do it in the future, right?
Who knew that Shen Qingyu actually compared the food cooked by his father with the food of his mother's past......
I couldn't even eat meat before.
How does this compare?
Shen Qingyu put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the three children, his tone was calm, and his eyes were serious: "Do you think that Daddy's cooking is not as delicious as the food that my mother cooked recently?" ”
The three children nodded like garlic.
"How about Daddy's cooking than my mother's cooking a long time ago?"
The triplets looked at each other, and the representative of Dabao spoke: "It's better than what my mother made before." ”
"In that case, why can't you eat it?" Shen Qingyu's expression was still peaceful.
This also made the triplets less afraid.
Dabao thought for a while and then spoke: "It's because we have recently eaten delicious food made by our mother, and we are used to it." If you eat this flavor again, you won't get used to it. ”
Shen Qingyu nodded: "When I entered the town today, the grain and oil shop said that if it doesn't rain again, it will affect the planting, and the price of rice and flour may rise." At that time, many people may not be able to eat, let alone eat meat. ”
Triplets: "......"
"Food can't be wasted, now that you're full, go and learn to read from your cousin." I'll heat up the rest of the meal again in the evening, and we'll go on with it. ”
The triplets nodded and ate obediently.
Shen Qingyu looked at Wen Che again: "Wen Che, I want to ask you for something today." ”
Wen Che put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Cousin-in-law, please speak." ”
"I heard a sentence at the gate of the township school today, which is called from luxury to frugality. You talk to the kids in a moment. ”
"Done." Wen Che simply agreed neatly.
The profession is very relevant: who has the most understanding of this sentence, and no one in the whole country has more experience than Wen Che!
After Shen Qingyu said this, he sandwiched a few pieces of meat and potatoes and took a big bite of the meal.
Seeing Shen Qingyu eating deliciously, the triplets couldn't help but eat it.
Xiao Yunqi was surprised and disappointed: from beginning to end, she didn't say a bad word about herself.
She's such a sharp-tongued woman......
It's because I signed and left the book with myself, not a family, so I don't talk about myself?
After the meal, Shen Qingyu arranged for Dabao to wash the dishes, Erbao to wash the pigweed, and Sanbao to feed the donkey.
The donkey called "hungry, hungry": the baby was very aggrieved and was slapped in the face by the owner......
Sanbao's little hand touched the donkey's face again and again and persuaded him: "Beating is kissing and scolding is love." My mother beat you because she felt sorry for you...... You're good......"
The donkey was even more aggrieved: "Ah, hungry ......"
After the triplets were busy, they went to Wenche's house to study, and Shen Qingyu went back to the room to close the door and entered the space.
The soybeans in the stove room have just swelled, and the soybeans next to the space spiritual spring have already sprouted.
This time difference is at least twice as much!
The valley in the space was full of grass, Shen Qingyu took out the seeds of soybeans, mung beans, rice, wheat and other seeds, and with just one thought, the land was turned over by itself, and the seeds of various beans, wheat and rice were also planted by himself.
There was still a little open space, and Shen Qingyu threw in two broken red tomatoes.
As the last bit of clearing was planted, the space roared and kicked Shen Qingyu out.
"The space is 100% planted for the first time, and the space is being upgraded, so stay tuned for ......" The long-lost electronic prompt sounded.
"Huh?" Shen Qingyu sat on the bed in surprise, surprised and delighted.
Can the space be upgraded?
What's new after the upgrade?
Looking forward to it.
Shen Qingyu cooks pigs, feeds pigs, and washes triplets...... It's evening again, and it's time to cook.
The leftover vegetables at noon are put on the stove, the pork belly is picked out, the oil is slowly fried over low heat, and then the potatoes are fried in and stewed in water.
In fact, Xiao Yunqi's braised potatoes with pork belly are not inedible, but the heat is not enough, and the salt is also on the noodles, so it didn't go in.
When it is fully simmered, it will be delicious.
At dinner, the children's appetite was good again.
After eating, Dabao sighed with emotion: "Eat potatoes and meat every day...... It's so blissful. ”
Shen Qingyu suddenly: But isn't it?
Often it's potatoes and meat, and then it's eggs, tomatoes......
The tomatoes were picked last winter and frozen.
Now that the weather is hot and completely thawed, the tomatoes can't be eaten.
There are two old pumpkins in the corner of the backyard.
The wild vegetables on the mountain are tender at this time, but the three children are too young to ask them to go up the mountain.
Spring bamboo shoots are starting to come out......
"Xiao Yunqi?" Shen Qingyu's face was kind.
"What?" Xiao Yunqi was subconsciously nervous, but he was 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 or something?" Shen Qingyu suggested.
Xiao Yunqi's face was weird: "Cheng." ”
I'm thinking about what excuse to use to get out, and it's a good excuse.
"Mother, I'll go too! I know a lot of wild vegetables! And I have Xiao Huang with me, Xiao Huang will protect me, and it will be fine. Xiaobao enthusiastically recommended himself.
"You're young, what are you going to do? Insecurity. Shen Qingyu subconsciously objected.
Xiao Yunqi immediately objected: "No! I can't go fast with you! ”
With a child, how can you do what you want to do?
Xiaobao pursed his mouth aggrievedly, and Wen Che immediately comforted him: "You have to learn to read and write with me in the morning, and my sisters must read and write." ”
The triplets had no choice but to give up.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yunqi went out to the mountain.
Shen Qingyu also went out and continued to sell glutinous rice.
Yesterday, I told Qi Han that the dock could be placed, and today I went directly to the dock first.
But as soon as Shen Qingyu entered the town, he saw that someone also took a similar wooden barrel and was selling glutinous rice, and directly sold it for seven cents a piece.
Imitated?!
