It Was Too Delicious
After the stewed at was cooked, the whole house was filled with fragrance. Jian Qingqing turned off the heat to let it cool down slowly, and then she began to prepare dinner.
For tonight’s dinner, she planned to use all the refined grains to make dry rice!
It could be said that the whole family had not eaten pure rice for more than half a year. After last sumr’s harvest, the drought had continued. After that, they could not plant proper grains. If it were not for the fact that their village had a very deep well dug, they would probably have beco refugees.
Even so, their family had still sold a lot of land. Now, there were only ten miles of paddy fields and so dry land left.
There were many families who sold their land, and so of them had to sell almost all of them in order to survive. So this year, many people rented fields, and their family had also rented twenty miles. The harvest had to be given to 70 percent of the landlords, and the rest had to pay taxes.
Therefore, Old Man Jian and the others worked very hard, and they had to eat better.
After the rice was cooked, Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye also ca back. They could sll the fragrance from afar, and the two of them imdiately ran excitedly.
“Sister! It slls so good!”
Before they saw anyone, Jian Qingqing heard Xiao Hu’s shout from afar. She also responded loudly, “Co quickly! I’ll give you at to eat!”
Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye each carried a basket and rushed into the house. “Sis! It slls so good!”
As he said that, Xiao Hu swallowed his saliva.
Xiao Ye also wanted to say that it slled good, but just as he opened his mouth, saliva flowed out.
Jian Qingqing helped him wipe his hands. “Quickly go and wash your hands. I’ll feed you at.”
The two of them rubbed their hands anxiously. In less than ten seconds, they stood in front of Jian Qingqing with their mouths open, waiting to feed her.
Jian Qingqing did not bla them for not washing their hands properly. It was already good enough that these starving children would still listen to her words.
She picked up two pieces of fat and lean at and put them into their mouths.
Xiao Hu was a little impatient, so he swallowed them in two gulps. Then, he was stunned and did not move for a long ti. When he reacted, he pursed his lips and a big string of tears fell.
“Wow, I didn’t even have a good taste. I don’t know what it tastes like!” Xiao Hu cried very loudly and was extrely sad.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’ll give you another piece.”
Jian Qingqing picked up another piece of pig intestine and placed it into his open mouth.
Xiao Hu’s crying imdiately stopped. He closed his mouth and carefully tasted the taste of the stewed large intestine.
“It’s too delicious! It’s too fragrant!”
Xiao Ye was a patient person. When the at was placed in his mouth, he could not bear to bite it. He kept swallowing the juice.
Jian Qingqing gently touched his head. “Eat it quickly. I’ll give you another piece after you finish.”
Xiao Ye shook his head. As he ate, he mumbled, “I’ll eat it when Grandpa cos back.”
Jian Qingqing did not try to persuade him anymore. She picked up the wild vegetables and mushrooms that Xiao Hu brought back.
Xiao Hu finally recovered. He said to Jian Qingqing with his stewed large intestine in his mouth, “Sister, these wild vegetables were given to us by Little Rong. The ones on top were picked by us.”
Jian Qingqing took out Little Rong’s portion and weighed it. It weighed about 6 to 7 catties. Then, she picked up the vegetables that Xiao Hu and the others had picked. It weighed about 11 to 12 catties. This was enough.
Jian Qingqing took the wild vegetables to wash and prepared to cook. She was very happy in her heart.
Ah! Today is a good day!
Jian Qingqing happily humd a little song while she cooked.
Usually, although she could secretly eat in the Spatial Kitchen, she was not in the mood. It was better to eat together as a family.
Today’s dinner was very sumptuous. Jian Qingqing did not plan to sell all the stewed at. She took half a catty of pork and two ounces of pork into the water for the shopkeeper to taste first. If they liked it, she would buy more at back to be braised.
So, today they ate rice and braised at.
