Chapter 235: Draw that big and fragrant cake】
Qin Yian opened his eyes and raised his head proudly when he heard the question.
"It's warmer in there than on the kang. The temperature can reach more than 20 degrees, and sometimes it can even reach 30 degrees. It won't be bad if it's frozen, it will just be very warm."
Curious person number two, Mr. Lu was even more surprised after hearing this. He still looked a little bit unconvinced, but in his heart he thought that the two young people were working together to make fun of them, the elderly.
"Is it really blooming? Are you not lying to us?"
"Why should I lie to you? I can't grow eggplants by lying to you. Didn't I go out this afternoon? I didn't just go to sell meat. I was mainly to take care of the vegetables in the greenhouse. I just came back and you can't guess what the situation is inside."
Lu Jinghe looked at Old Man Lu and was responsible for answering this question. His half-confrontational, half-answering attitude made the old man believe him more and he began to listen carefully.
"There is one that is growing particularly fast. Half of its flowers have already withered, and you can already see eggplants as big as your fingernail growing out. Also, the big peppers have grown to 20 centimeters tall. Two of them have already bloomed a few flowers. The other seedlings are also growing well, and the cucumbers are not far from breaking off the vine."
"You didn't see it, but it's lush and green inside and growing beautifully. Just wait and eat them. It will be soon. I estimate that the first eggplant can be picked and brought to you in about ten days."
Lu Jinghe's face was also full of pride, and the people who were watching and listening believed it even more.
Qin Jiaguo knew that the two little ones were playing with something, but he had always been watching the children playing and never took it seriously. Now that he knew that they had really played with something, he was full of surprise and said:
"Take your grandfather to have a look one day. Seeing it with your own eyes is more useful than anything else. If it grows, we will also give you some fresh vegetables and enjoy your blessing!"
Qin Mo, who was cutting beef in the yard, was also attracted to come over to have a mouthful of the fun.
"So amazing? Little niece, do you grow tomatoes?"
Qin Yian looked at the meat in her hand and remembered a dish he had eaten in the summer. The saliva in his mouth began to secrete. He licked his lips and felt nostalgic.
"If you have the guts, you might be able to eat tomatoes when you come back for the New Year. I'll make you some beef stew with tomatoes. It's delicious and goes well with rice. You can eat several bowls of it with the soup. This dish is best made by your second brother and my father. Let him make it for you. We can also cook pork ribs with tomatoes, tomato hot pot, and everything else with tomatoes. We'll make delicious food every time."
Qin Yian began to draw a big pancake, which was big and fragrant, and particularly attractive.
"Beef stew with tomatoes? Tomatoes and pork ribs, tomato hot pot? Tomatoes can make so many delicious things? Okay, when can we go and see it? I want to go and see it too. I won't be back to school until tomorrow afternoon. Is that okay?"
Qin Mo's eyes lit up, meaning that she was free tomorrow morning, so why not go tomorrow morning.
Several elders around also looked at him expectantly, waiting for Qin Yian's answer.
It's not a big deal, Qin Yian agreed with a cheerful smile.
"You're welcome anytime. You can come and see it now. Let Jinghe take you there. I'll take a walk to help you digest your food, so that you won't be so curious that you can't sleep at night and keep thinking about it."
"I think it's okay, I think it's okay."
Qin Zhengyi nodded hurriedly, looking for his crutches and leg protection, and couldn't sit still at all.
Old Master Lu and Qin Jiaguo also stood up quickly, supporting people on the left and right to get ready.
Only Qin Mo hesitated, holding the beef reluctantly: "But I, I still have to brine the meat."
"That's easy. You have a lot of beef. It will take a long time to brine it. The brine is ready. We'll put it in the pot for you now and let Qin Yue help watch it. He will. The meat may not be cooked when we come back."
Qin Yian pointed at Qin Yue who was doing homework nearby. Qin Yue raised his hand excitedly and assured: "I can do it, leave it to me!"
Xia Xiulan came out with a cup of scented tea and waved to Qin Mo: "Mom and I won't go. We will help you watch it. You go."
"Okay!"
Qin Mo picked up the washed meat excitedly. Qin Yian asked Lu Jinghe to help. After a few seconds, the meat was put into the pot and started to brine.
A group of people rushed to Qin Yian's winter greenhouse. After looking at the vegetables and feeling the temperature inside the greenhouse, they were full of admiration and praise.
Several elders could see the curious and amazed expression on their faces, just like Grandma Liu's first visit to the Grand View Garden.
Qin Jiaguo was so hot that he took off the scarf around his neck and his coat, and said in amazement: "The temperature here is really high. How did you do it?"
Qin Yian pointed at the materials for building the greenhouse.
"The temperature in the cellar can be maintained at a certain level, and so can our shed. It's mainly because of the insulation material. The specific method of achieving this must be kept secret for the time being. Everything is in vain until the dish is completely successful."
Grandpa Lu looked at the vibrant vegetables in the pot and immediately looked at his grandson and Qin's granddaughter with a different eye. A sense of pride arose from the bottom of his heart.
"Before I came here, I still had doubts in my heart. I never thought that you guys really succeeded. I am really shocked to see so many kinds of vegetables that are only available in summer or spring in this winter. Great!" "
That's right. If they are all grown, I don't know how many old men and women will envy us. Then we will envy them, especially that old man Ning who shows off his children every day. It's our turn now, haha!"
Qin Zhengyi was excited just thinking about it. Looking at these vegetables, he was looking forward to them growing up quickly. If it weren't for the purpose of shocking the other party, he would have wanted to go to him and chat with him right now.
"That's right, that's right. Our young people are still amazing!"
Old Master Lu nodded in agreement.
The old men and their children were all very proud of the dishes, and they were all looking forward to them. They had already thought about what they would do when the dishes were ready.
Qin Yian and Lu Jinghe were listening on the side, and they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
