Chapter 20 You have to grow long before you can eat it
After the child finished his work, he finally took a look.
The empty vegetable fields are all filled with vegetables, but...
Xu Fuqiang twitched the corner of his mouth and asked: "Qingzhi, these vegetable seedlings are a bit big. Are you sure... the vegetables you bought online are not for direct consumption?"
"Dad!" Xu Qingzhi pretended to be slightly angry, "These are vegetable seedlings, they need to grow long before they can be eaten."
Xu Fuqiang stopped exposing her and said with a smile: "It looks like it will continue to grow longer, okay, then dad will wait to eat the vegetables you grow."
"Well, just wait."
Xu Qingzhi carried the hoe home.
Xu Fuqiang picked some water spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. from the vegetable field and brought them with him.
After packing their things, the father and daughter took a bus to the county seat.
Before leaving, Xu Fuqiang was about to lock the door when he suddenly remembered, "Hey, Qingzhi, those two pets you have? Crows and cats?"
Xu Qingzhi's expression remained as usual, "They are very naughty, so I let them out to play. Birds can survive by eating bugs, and cats can catch mice and eat them, but they won't die. Dad, don't worry."
Xu Fuqiang nodded, "Okay, it's your cat and bird anyway. You know best. Dad can't understand these either."
"Well, let's go quickly, or we won't catch the last bus."
When we arrived at the county seat, it was already evening.
Wang Yanmei fried half of the chicken, stewed half into chicken soup, and made the whole duck into ginger-fried duck.
In addition to chicken and duck, water spinach, cucumbers and tomatoes picked from home were also fried.
There is also a fish and braised snacks bought from downstairs.
Zhou Hongwei frowned, his eyes full of disgust: "It's just these dishes, is there nothing else?"
"There are chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and soup. You are not satisfied yet. What kind of delicacies do you want?" The third aunt did not give him a good look. She went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes and said: "Yan
Mei, I’m also a shameless person. I heard that Fourth Sister was coming to your house for dinner, so I came with her. Don’t mind.”
"Third aunt, what are you talking about? I didn't know you were in the county today. If I knew, I would have called you." Wang Yanmei said warmly.
The third aunt smiled and helped carry the dishes out, while Xu Qingzhi put the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Not long after, a table of dishes was ready. Wang Yanmei was frying the last water spinach and called out: "Everyone, eat it while it's hot. I have another green vegetable here, which will be finished soon."
When people in Meicheng eat, they pay most attention to eating them while they are hot. Dish like chicken and duck are most fragrant when they are still steaming after being taken out of the pot.
A full round table can seat nine people without being crowded at all.
Xu Qingzhi left an empty seat next to her for her mother.
The fourth aunt was not polite either. When she smelled the fragrance at noon, she almost couldn't stand it, so she immediately grabbed a piece of chicken.
"Well, Fuqiang, the chicken you raised yourself tastes good." The fourth aunt said while eating.
Zhou Hongwei also took a piece of chicken and tasted it, thinking that the taste was not much different from the chicken he raised.
The third aunt didn't like to eat meat, so she directly extended her chopsticks to the tomato scrambled eggs, picked them up and put them in her mouth without even feeding her a mouthful of rice.
“Delicious!”
The third aunt's eyes widened, and she took another chopstick to eat, "What's going on? This tomato scrambled egg is so delicious, it's so fragrant."
"Yanmei's cooking skills are getting better and better recently." Xu Fuqiang naturally boasted, and picked up a chopstick of tomato scrambled eggs. When he ate it, he confirmed that it was still as delicious as lunch, really fragrant.
"No, it's not just the cooking skills that are good, but also the food." The third aunt quickly picked up another chopstick.
At this time, the water spinach was also fried and placed right in front of the third aunt.
The third aunt picked up a chopstick and tasted it, "This water spinach is also delicious."
Wang Jinlan and Zhou Hongwei looked at Third Aunt's exaggerated expression and wondered in their hearts. When visiting other people's homes for dinner, they would usually praise it and say it was delicious, but they were not as exaggerated as Third Aunt.
Wang Jinlan took a bite of tomato scrambled eggs. It was quite fragrant, but it felt like just ordinary eggs with slightly more delicious tomatoes, and a chopstick of water spinach.
Indeed...it tastes better than what we usually eat, but there is no need to exaggerate.
Wang Yanmei washed her hands, came over to eat, and said with a smile: "Third Aunt, this food is just to your taste."
"It's appetizing. It's so appetizing. I've been helping my eldest son take care of the children in Kyoto for six months, but I've never eaten such delicious food." said the third aunt.
Wang Linlin smiled and said: "Third aunt, you have stayed in the city for a long time. Now that you come back and eat this kind of local food, it feels particularly delicious. We are used to eating it every day."
The third aunt still thought this dish was good, much more delicious than the vegetables she had eaten in Kyoto. She quickly asked: "Fuqiang, did you grow this yourself?"
Xu Fuqiang nodded.
Third Aunt: "Can I buy some and send them to my son?"
"Third aunt, we are all from the same family, how can I let you buy it? I'll just ask Fuqiang to pick some and deliver them to you tomorrow." Wang Yanmei said.
The third aunt declined: "No, no, no, you grow your own food, so you should still be paid."
"Stop being polite to your children. Giving money is nothing like that." Grandma Chen Xiaoqing said at the right time.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore." The third aunt smiled, thinking about asking the child to send some local roast duck from Kyoto to give to Yanmei and his wife.
Wang Jinlan said: "Third Aunt, if you like it, I've grown some too. If you want to eat it, you can pick it anytime."
"Okay, thank you Jin Lan." The third aunt explained sheepishly, "Zhiming is very busy at the company and is very selective in his meals. The dishes I cook are not to his taste. I ate such delicious vegetables today. I thought
He should like it."
"Zhiming is the most promising person of our generation, and he can start a company in Kyoto." Wang Jinlan praised.
The third aunt shook her head modestly, but with a proud smile on her face, "It's just so-so."
Xu Qingzhi listened to their compliments to each other and became accustomed to it. This was a common scene at family dinners.
And the reaction of the third aunt was also within her expectation.
The reason these dishes are delicious is because I used a spiritual energy technique today to cover them with some spiritual energy. However, because of the short time and the lack of spiritual spring water, the spiritual energy content is very, very rare, almost non-existent.
Her father has tasted her space instant food, so naturally he won't think there is any difference in the taste of this food. Anyway, it is just as delicious.
Others will also think it's just delicious, and won't have such a big reaction as the third aunt.
Just like some people are sensitive to spicy food, and people who eat spicy food all year round will not think it is spicy if they taste a little spicy food, there are also people who are very sensitive to spiritual energy.
People who have not been exposed to Reiki for a long time in the city are different from those who occasionally come into contact with Reiki, so only my third aunt who has been in Kyoto all year round and comes back occasionally reacts so strongly.
If you taste the vegetables she grows...
Xu Qingzhi thought that the third aunt might want to clear up all the land in her house.
