Fearing that everyone might not know how to eat river shrimp, Wenxi first took a salted shrimp, peeled it, and ate it. Then everyone else followed suit. The river shrimp had fragrant roe and plump, firm meat, making it very delicious.
"What kind of shrimp is this? I didn't expect it to be so meaty and so delicious," Qin's mother exclaimed.
Wen Xi said with a smile, "This is called a river shrimp. It is widely distributed in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds in my country. It is a very common type of large river shrimp."
Seeing that everyone enjoyed the food, Wenxi said with a smile, "Since everyone likes river shrimp, I'll bring you another kind of river shrimp that you haven't tried before next time I come."
Qin's mother said with a smile, "Liangliang, thank you so much for letting us taste such delicious food."
Wenxi thought the Qin family must have eaten all sorts of delicious food, and they were just saying that to make her happy, since not many people could afford to live in a small villa.
If Wenxi hadn't come to this mission world, the Qin family would definitely have suffered misfortune. But with Wenxi's reminder, Grandpa Qin will probably make arrangements in advance to preserve the Qin family's strength and wait for a future comeback.
"Uncle Qin, could you please help me buy all kinds of vegetable and fruit seeds?" Wen Xi remembered the words in the original text, which said that in the future many seeds would be monopolized by foreign countries and people would not be able to save their own seeds. Everyone would have to buy new seeds every year. Therefore, Wen Xi wanted to preserve and continue some excellent varieties in advance.
Qin's father nodded, "Alright, leave this matter to me."
"Thank you, Uncle Qin." Buying seeds requires a permit; without one, it's impossible for an individual to purchase seeds in large quantities.
Therefore, Wenxi could only ask Qin's father to help with the purchase. Why not use someone with connections?
After the meal, Grandma Qin sent Wenxi and Qin Mi upstairs to rest, saying that the young people didn't need to worry about the kitchen.
Once upstairs, Qin Mi's eyes were fixed on Wen Xi without fail, and he even followed Wen Xi around her the whole time.
Now that it's winter, fresh vegetables and fruits can be stored for longer and won't spoil in a short time, so Wenxi harvested ten catties of cowpeas, cucumbers, eggplants, green peppers, tomatoes, gourds, water spinach, amaranth, cilantro, and yellow cabbage.
Ten pounds each of apples, pears, oranges, grapes, kiwis, persimmons, strawberries, cherries, peaches, and dates were transferred.
Ten pounds each of pork, beef, mutton, pork ribs, beef ribs, and lamb ribs were transferred.
One hundred chicken eggs, one hundred duck eggs, and one hundred goose eggs were transferred out.
Ten dried chickens, ten dried ducks, ten dried rabbits, ten dried fish, and ten pieces of cured meat, weighing approximately 100 jin (50 kg).
Then Wenxi turned to Qin Mi and said, "Qin Mi, after I leave, give these things to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin and tell them to put them away and eat them slowly."
“Liangliang…” Qin Mi looked at Wen Xi, her eyes reddening.
"Qin Mi, what's wrong?" Wen Xi asked, puzzled, and gently pushed him.
"Liangliang, if you stay here for three months like last time, then come find me after you've finished dealing with your business. Spend more time with me the rest of the time. Treat me like a kitten or puppy, pamper me more, okay?" Qin Mi pulled Wen Xi's hand over and pressed it against his face, looking at Wen Xi earnestly with his eyes, like a puppy that knows it is about to be abandoned by its owner.
Wen Xi's heart softened, "Okay."
She didn't have much to do here, just doing odd jobs at the orphanage and selling food every day, which was quite boring. Besides, she didn't need any money from this world, and she had already stockpiled enough old items. There was really no need for her to stay here. She could go to Qin Mi's place to check on the growth of those trees.
Time passed by, and Wenxi gradually fell asleep. Qin Mi propped his head up and watched Wenxi.
"Liangliang, I only have three days this time, so you'll stay at home for the next two days, okay?"
Wenxi's cheeks flushed, and she nodded gently. She didn't know if they would ever have the chance to meet again, so it didn't matter where they lived.
Afterwards, Qin Mi continued to look at Wen Xi. Although Wen Xi had returned to her own world and was going to live her own life, he hoped that Wen Xi would not forget him in the long river of time, and that he would still have a place in her heart.
Qin Mi gazed at her stunning profile as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Qin Mi didn't wake up until his parents came home from get off work and he heard them talking downstairs. He looked at Wen Xi, who was still fast asleep. Her face was like delicate porcelain, her long eyelashes were like two elegant brushes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. He wondered if she was having a sweet dream.
There was still a lot of food left over from lunch. It was the dead of winter, so we could just heat it up and eat it. Grandma Qin also stir-fried two of the most common winter vegetables: radishes and cabbage.
Although the Qin family was wealthy, supplies were scarce at this time, and nothing could be bought anywhere. No matter how rich the Qin family was, it was useless. Although the black market had supplies provided by Wenxi, they were always snatched up immediately.
However, since the Qin family had so many supplies left by Wenxi last time, they didn't have to fight for supplies like everyone else. It's just that fresh vegetables are not easy to get because the temperature was quite high when Wenxi came last time, and fresh vegetables don't last long; they've all dried them.
When Wen Xi woke up, she was surprised to find the room dark. She hadn't expected to have slept from after dinner until now. She sat up abruptly, her consciousness returning. She was relieved that nothing had happened between her and Qin Mi, otherwise things would have been difficult to handle.
After all, this is a mission world, and Qin Mi was just her previous mission target. She can't possibly have something going on with every male mission target she encounters in the future, can she?
As soon as Wen Xi got up, Qin Mi pushed open the door and walked in. "Liangliang, you're awake? Dinner is ready, you can eat now."
"I understand, I'll go wash up first." Wen Xi nodded and went to the bathroom. After a quick wash, she applied some skincare products, braided a clean and neat pigtail, and then went downstairs with Qin Mi to have dinner.
After dinner, Qin Mi took Wen Xi for a walk near the villa. The city was much more prosperous than the countryside, and there were streetlights outside, so you wouldn't be completely blind at night.
However, it was quite cold at night, and almost no one came out for a walk. Qin Mi reached out and took Wen Xi's hand. His large hand had a thin layer of calluses and was warm, as if it could indeed warm people's hearts.
Wenxi hasn't been to the orphanage for the past two days because the orphanage is well-stocked and there's nothing she's needed for. She hasn't gone to sell food either, but has stayed at the Qin family's house.
