Chapter 18 From Extravagance to Frugality

When Shen Qingyu returned home, it was 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 guys eat well, what are you doing out here?"

When the two men heard the movement, they also went out to watch.

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 at all: "This is good, you don't have to wait for me in the future. Let's have dinner, I'll go wash your hands."

"Mother..." Dabao hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingyu asked while washing her hands.

Er Bao tugged at Da Bao's sleeve.

Dabao: "It's nothing, come and eat."

Entering the main room, Shen Qingyu was surprised: there was a big pot of stewed pork belly with potatoes on the table. It looked like a big pot, but the three children ate very politely, and Xiao Bao was even eating white rice.

"Why don't you eat meat?" Shen Qingyu asked, putting a piece into his mouth.

Then Shen Qingyu's expression became strange: No wonder the children don't like to eat.

This stewed pork belly with potatoes cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it is definitely not delicious.

The pork belly is not oily, and it is not soft and rotten. It is cooked directly with white water and potatoes, and it is very greasy after eating.

The taste is also salty.

Shen Qingyu sighed and looked at the two men: "Who cooks for you?"

Xiao Yunqi acted boldly: "Me."

Wen Che felt ashamed: "I don't know how to cook."

Shen Qingyu nodded: "It's much more delicious than what I used to make."

The three children were dumbfounded.

Originally, they were full of hope when they saw their mother eating vegetables: Mother, you can try it, it’s still delicious, or should you cook it in the future?

Who would have thought that Shen Qingyu would actually compare the food cooked by her father with the food her mother used to...

I couldn't even eat meat before.

How does this compare?

Shen Qingyu put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked at the three children, with a calm tone and serious eyes: "Do you think that the food made by Daddy is not as good as the food that Mother made recently?"

The three children nodded like pounding garlic.

"Then how is the meal made by daddy compared to the meal made by mother a long time ago?"

The triplets looked at each other, and Dabao said, "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.

It also made the triplets less intimidating.

After thinking about it for a while, Dabao said, "It's because we have eaten the delicious food made by mother recently and got used to it. If we eat this kind of taste again, we won't be used to it."

Shen Qingyu nodded: "I went into the town today, and the grain and oil shop said that if it doesn't rain any more, it will affect the planting, and the price of rice and noodles may increase. By then, many people may not be able to eat, let alone meat."

Triplets: "..."

"Food can't be wasted. If you are full now, go learn to read from your cousin. I will reheat the rest of the food at night, and we will continue to eat."

The triplets nodded and ate obediently.

Shen Qingyu looked at Wen Che again: "Wen Che, I want to ask you something today."

Wen Che put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Cousin-in-law, please tell me."

"I heard a saying at the gate of the rural school today, it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. You can talk to the children later."

"Success." Wen Che simply agreed.

The profession is perfect: whoever understands this sentence best, and no one in the whole country understands it better than Wen Che!

After Shen Qingyu said this, he picked up a few pieces of meat and potatoes, and began to eat the food with big mouthfuls.

Seeing Shen Qingyu's delicious food, the triplets couldn't help but started to eat.

Xiao Yunqi was surprised and disappointed: From the beginning to the end, she never said anything bad about herself.

She is obviously such a sharp-tongued woman...

Is it because you signed a divorce agreement with yourself, and you 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 pigweed, and Sanbao to feed the donkey.

The donkey yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Sanbao touched the donkey's face with his little hand and tried to persuade him, "Beating means kissing and scolding but love. My mother beat you because she loves you... Be good..."

The donkey was even more aggrieved: "Ah hungry..."

The triplets finished their work and went to study in Wenche's room. Shen Qingyu went back to the room and closed the door, and entered the space.

The soybeans in the kitchen were only swollen, and the soybeans next to the spiritual spring in the space had already germinated.

This time difference is at least double!
The valleys in the space are full of grass. Shen Qingyu took out the seeds of soybeans, mung beans, rice, wheat, etc., and with a thought, the land was turned over by itself, and all kinds of beans, wheat, and rice seeds were planted by themselves.

There was still a little space left, Shen Qingyu threw in two broken red tomatoes.

As the last bit of open space was planted, the space boomed and Shen Qingyu was kicked out.

"For the first time, the planting area of ​​the space is 100%. The space is being upgraded, so stay tuned..." The long-lost electronic prompt sounded.

"Huh?" Shen Qingyu sat on the bed in surprise, both surprised and delighted.

Can the space be upgraded?
What's new after the upgrade?
look forward to.

Shen Qingyu cooked pigs, fed the pigs, washed clothes for the triplets... It was evening again, and it was time to cook.

At noon, the leftover dishes were put on the stove, and the pork belly was picked out, and the oil was slowly fried on a low heat, then the potatoes were put in and fried, and then stewed in water.

In fact, Xiao Yunqi's stewed potatoes with pork belly are not inedible, but the heat is not enough, and the salt is all on the surface, so it doesn't go in.

It's delicious when it's cooked through.

Sure enough, the children's appetites improved again at dinner.

After he was full, Dabao said with emotion: "Eating potatoes and meat every day... I am so happy."

Shen Qingyu came to a sudden: Isn't it?

Often it's potatoes and meat, or eggs and tomatoes...

The tomatoes were picked and frozen last winter.

Now that the weather is hot, and the freeze is completely thawed, the tomatoes can't be eaten anymore.

There are two old pumpkins in the corner of the backyard.

The wild vegetables on the mountain are tender at the moment, but the three children are too young to ask them to go up the mountain.

Spring bamboo shoots are starting to appear...

"Xiao Yunqi?" Shen Qingyu's expression was kind.

"What?" Xiao Yunqi was subconsciously nervous, but 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?" Shen Qingyu suggested.

Xiao Yunqi's expression was strange: "Success."

Just thinking about what excuse to use to go out, this excuse is quite good.

"Mom, I'm going too! I know a lot of wild vegetables! And I have Xiao Huang with me, Xiao Huang will protect me, and nothing will happen." Xiao Bao enthusiastically recommended himself.

"You're still young, what are you going to do? It's not safe." Shen Qingyu objected subconsciously.

Xiao Yunqi immediately objected: "No way! I can't go fast with you!"

With a child, how can you do what you want to do?
Xiaobao pursed his lips in grievance, and Wen Che immediately comforted him: "You will learn to read and read with me in the morning, and all the sisters must learn to read."

The triplets had to give up.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yunqi went out and went up the mountain.

Shen Qingyu also went out to continue selling glutinous rice.

I agreed with Qi Han yesterday that the pier can be placed, so I will go directly to the pier today.

But as soon as Shen Qingyu entered the town, he saw someone selling glutinous rice with similar wooden barrels, and they directly sold them for seven cents a piece.

Be imitated? !
 Ask for a wave of favorites and recommendations.
