Chapter 59 Life is getting better than before



"Is that so? Then I won't be able to eat when I go home in the future?" Wen Shanshan was very disappointed. After all, she couldn't move the soil and water here to Kyoto.

"Our vegetables can be delivered by express. When you go back, if you want to buy vegetables, just place an order with me." Xu Qingzhi said.

Wen Shanshan's eyes lit up, "That's great!"

She no longer has to worry about not being able to eat such delicious food when she returns to Kyoto.

However, she just arrived and she doesn't want to go back. Why?

But Wen Shanshan knew that after her brother's mood improved, she would still have to go back to work and complete her studies. Sooner or later, she would have to leave.

But as long as the food can be delivered, she can eat it wherever she goes. It’s a pity that she can’t meet her idol.

Wen Shanshan was a little depressed again. After some inner struggle, she decided to give up and focus on the present. She stopped thinking about the future and started to taste other dishes happily.

"This cucumber salad is delicious. It tastes crisp and sweet."

"The water spinach is so tender and delicious."

"The tomato and egg soup is so fragrant, with a strong tomato flavor and no fishy smell from the eggs at all."

"Auntie, your cooking skills are really great. Every dish is cooked so deliciously."

Every time Wen Shanshan ate a dish, she couldn't help but praise it because it was so delicious.

She felt that coming here for dinner today was the best decision she had ever made, and it was the first time she felt happy about eating.

In the past, she just felt full and the food was delicious, but she had never felt so happy to be able to eat such delicious food as she did today.

Wang Yanmei was fine when she was praised by her family, but she felt a little embarrassed when she was suddenly praised so enthusiastically by outsiders.

She smiled and said politely, "If you think it's delicious, come again tomorrow and bring your brother with you."

"Okay!" Wen Shanshan agreed happily.

Uncle Wang also thought the dishes were delicious, but he was a grown man after all, so he wouldn't express his excitement like a little girl. He just picked up the cup and raised it towards Wang Yanmei: "Yanmei, your cooking skills are really good, much better than those three-star chefs in the high-end restaurants in Kyoto."

Wang Yanmei picked up the sour plum soup and touched it, and said modestly: "My cooking skills are pretty good, as long as you like it."

Aunt Liu also thought that the dishes were delicious. She had been working as a nanny for many years, especially taking care of the young master. In order to get him to eat, she learned to cook all kinds of dishes, but she could never make them taste so good.

Aunt Liu looked at Miss Shanshan who was enjoying her meal so much for the first time and suddenly began to worry. What would she do if she lost her job?

After dinner, Xu Qingzhi went to get a glass of sour plum soup.

The jar of sour plum soup that I just made in the afternoon is almost empty.

The white cat was pulling at Xu Qingzhi's trouser legs.

"Meow~" Master, I want to drink too.

Xu Qingzhi poured a little into its food bowl.

After finishing dinner, Wen Shanshan walked over and saw the white cat. Its fur was white and shiny and looked soft, so she subconsciously reached out to touch it.

The white cat hid alertly, looked at the stranger, its cute round eyes shrank, and it meowed fiercely.

Go away, don't touch me! Wen Shanshan took her hand back awkwardly, looking a little disappointed. Her family also has a cat, and she has always liked cats. Of course, she knew that the white cat didn't want to be touched by her.

Xu Qingzhi could tell that Wen Shanshan really liked cats, so he said, "It's quite wary of outsiders, but once you get familiar with it, you can touch it."

"Yeah, it's a good thing that cats are vigilant. When I was a child, one of the cats in my family was friendly to everyone. Later, it ran out to play and never came back. We couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked." Wen Shanshan felt a little sad when she thought about it.

Xu Qingzhi was not good at comforting others, so he kept silent.

A crow flew over from a distance, occupied the magpie's nest, and drank the sour plum soup in the white cat's bowl while the white cat was staring at the stranger warily.

"Qingzhi, is this a crow from outside or one we raise at home?" Wen Shanshan asked curiously.

Xu Qingzhi: "I raised him."

Wen Shanshan continued to be curious and asked, "If this crow is not locked up in a cage, won't it fly away?"

"No, it's very well behaved."

Wen Shanshan watched the crow eat. The bald spot on its head had a few hairs growing out, which was trembling and very cute. This time, she did not directly touch it, but asked Xu Qingzhi: "Can I touch it?"

The crow finished drinking the sour plum soup, raised its neck and made a "cackle" sound.

You can't let her touch this crow. This crow is the most powerful crow in the Poseidon Forest. How can an ordinary person like her touch it! The two spirit pets raised by Xu Qingzhi are inherently a bit arrogant.

Xu Qingzhi had always known it.

When she first saved them and contracted to become their master, they all said that she had made a fortune.

Xu Qingzhi had no choice but to politely refuse: "Wait until you get more familiar with them, and they will let you touch them."

"Well, okay then." Wen Shanshan thought, if she couldn't touch her idol's smooth face, it would be fine to touch her idol's pets. After all, there would always be a chance. "By the way, what are their names?"

"The cat calls for ingots, and the crow calls for wealth."

"Hahaha, what a cute name." Wen Shanshan looked at the crow, and her eyes involuntarily glued to Xu Qingzhi's face again.

Her idol's facial features are really beautiful and her skin is impeccable. Looking at her from such a close distance, there are no blackheads on her nose and not even pores on her face.

Unlike her, the blackheads on her nose are getting more and more, and the pores on both sides of her nose are also very big.

Uncle Wang had finished his meal, and it was getting late, past eight o'clock.

There is no moon tonight, and it is pitch black outside.

Wang Yanmei saw that there were still some bayberries at home, so she packed some in a bag and had someone take them away.

"The bayberries at home are ripe now. You can pick some up and eat them."

Uncle Wang politely waved his hand, "No need, Yanmei, keep it for yourself."

"Take it, take it. It's just some bayberries. There are hundreds of trees planted in the back mountain. You can't eat them all by yourself." Wang Yanmei said enthusiastically.

Xu Fuqiang also said, "Brother Wang, just take it. The bayberries we grow at home are not sprayed with pesticides. This is the first time they have borne fruit this year. They are quite delicious. Take them and try them."

Uncle Wang stopped refusing and took it.

"Okay, then I won't be polite. This is eating and taking at the same time, hahahaha..."

"Why are you being so polite to me? After you went to Kyoto, my family was in financial difficulty and I had no money for my children's education. I even borrowed money from you several times." Xu Fuqiang said this with a hint of gratitude.

In the past, he had no prospects and couldn't make any money, so he relied on these relatives and friends for help. Although the money has been repaid, the friendship is still there.

Uncle Wang just waved his hand, as if not talking about the past: "Why bother talking about this? We are all brothers, and we should do what we should do."

Xu Fuqiang just smiled and said, "Don't mention it, with the country's reform and opening up, people's lives are getting better and better than before. In the past, we even had to worry about not having enough food to eat."

"Yes, life is better now." said Uncle Wang.

Seeing that the two brothers were about to start chatting again, Wang Yanmei saw that it was getting late and said quickly: "It's getting dark outside, Brother Wang, drive slowly. Shanshan, if you like the meat I cook, come back another day."

Wen Shanshan didn't forget to eat. Aunt Wang asked her to bring her brother to eat together tomorrow, so she said, "Okay, I will definitely bring my brother tomorrow."
