It’s a waste if you don’t eat it!
There were so many watermelons, pears, lychees, cherries, chickens, ducks, fish and meat piled up in the space, which made people very greedy. So Hua Wanchi waved his hand and a few large bamboo baskets appeared in the corner of the house.
Zhou Yujiao happened to pass by and accidentally glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
“Oh my god!”
What did she see?
With so many good things, why not have some at home?
Zhou Yujiao flipped through the basket and saw big, snow-white pieces of fat and pork belly with distinct layers piled up in the basket. They looked fresh in color.
Hua Wanchi: I heard that there was a shortage of oil and water in the 1970s, and everyone loved fatty meat. She couldn’t eat it anyway, so she was happy to see her family eating it.
There were several big watermelons piled up in another basket. They had emerald green skins and fresh, green and crispy stems. They made a popping sound when you knocked on them. You could tell they were good watermelons.
Flowers bloom late: cool down, no need to thank me.
There was also a basket filled with plucked chickens and ducks. Zhou Yujiao covered her heart with her hands.
Hua Wanchi: Hehe, there’s nothing I can do about it. There are too many of them in the space. It’s their fault that they grow so fast.
Next to her was a basket of bright red cherries. Zhou Yujiao tasted one. It tasted good, but why did her mother-in-law buy so many? This thing can't be kept!
Hua Wanchi: She specially found a cherry tree and transplanted it into the space. Now she can’t eat all the fruits on the tree, and she has no shortage of fertilizer, so she took it out and let the whole family eat as much as they want!
"Hey, chili peppers! I can tell it's coming from the smell!"
She could smell the spicy aroma of the peppers even when standing. Zhou Yujiao smiled with satisfaction, picked up one and took a bite. Not bad, spicy and flavorful!
Hua Wanchi: I grow them for fun. She doesn't like them, but I heard people in this area love spicy food. Oh, that's not right. Stir-fried pork with chili peppers is quite delicious.
"What's this?"
Zhou Yujiao turned her puzzled gaze towards the lychees. They looked somewhat familiar, but she was certain they were not produced here.
After peeling one and taking a bite, Zhou Yujiao was immediately amazed. It was juicy, fresh and sweet, and the taste was really wonderful!
Hua Wanchi licked her lips. "This stuff was so expensive in my hometown in my previous life, and I could never buy fresh ones. But after trying something cheap and fresh in Yunnan Province, she bought a whole truckload!"
Zhou Yujiao glanced past the basket of fish and went straight to the last bamboo basket... a basket full of eggs!
There is never a shortage of eggs at home, but we don’t eat them every day!
With so many eggs, if each family member eats one a day, they still can’t finish them in a month!
Hua Wanchi: The most annoying thing is eggs. The chickens in this space love to lay eggs. Fortunately, there are robots, otherwise picking up these eggs would be more annoying than in my world.
Zhou Yujiao gasped and shouted, "Mom!"
"What's wrong?"
Wan Qingliu's response came first, and then the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Seeing the things on the ground, Wan Qingliu was stunned for a while.
After a while, she calmly said, "Oh, you're talking about this. Lili is getting married, and I bought these for the wedding banquet. You know these things aren't something you can just get if you want them, but I just happened to come across them and bought them all."
Ever since her granddaughter came, she has become an expert at covering up lies. She can tell them without any hesitation.
Zhou Yujiao nodded. Indeed, opportunities are hard to come by. If you don’t grab it now, you may not be able to buy it when you want to.
"Mom, should I salt this meat? It will spoil easily in such hot weather."
Wan Qingliu nodded and said, "Take one and eat it today. There are so many that you won't go without a fresh meal."
"Okay!"
Zhou Yujiao's face suddenly lit up with smiles. Who said adults don't crave meat? She also craves meat!
There is no shortage of bacon, but can it compare with fresh meat?
Zhou Yujiao's eyes lit up when she thought of the taste of meat.
At noon, the aroma of meat wafted from Lao Hua's house.
A dish of braised pork, a bowl of chicken soup, and three vegetables, and it feels like Chinese New Year at home.
When the other families in the village smelled the aroma, their children started crying and the adults were upset. Why did the Hua family eat meat every day? Zhao Ting, the daughter next door, started scolding and beating her daughter again.
Hearing that Wan Qingliu had specially brought a bowl of meat and stood at the door, deliberately making things difficult for Zhao Tingnu, he said to Fang Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, do you want to eat meat or not?"
Fang Zhaozhao blinked her eyes. Of course she wanted to, but she didn’t dare to say it for fear of being beaten by her mother!
Wan Qingliu picked up a piece of meat and shook it in the air. The bright red color, the dripping fat, and the bursts of fragrance made Fang Zhaozhao stare in amazement.
Wan Qingliu chuckled, "Come on, Aunt Wan will give you some meat. You'll get beaten if you don't eat it anyway. At least you can enjoy the taste of meat. Your mother didn't even get to eat it!"
Fang Zhaozhao secretly glanced at Zhao Tingnu, who had a bad expression on her face, and swallowed her saliva with a little excitement.
For a six-year-old child, the temptation of food was enough to control her entire reason. Fang Zhaozhao took advantage of her mother's stillness and immediately ran towards Wan Qingliu.
Wan Qingliu immediately hugged Fang Zhaozhao and led her into the house: "Hey, your mom doesn't let you eat well, does she? Come to Aunt Wan's house, there's rice and meat for you to eat!"
After saying that, Wan Qingliu looked at Zhao Tingnu, who was shaking with anger, with a smug look on his face.
The daughter was taken away like a dog for a piece of meat, which was tantamount to slapping Zhao Tingnu in the face.
Zhao Tingnu yelled, "You damn girl, how dare you go! If you go, just become their daughter and don't come back!"
Fang Zhaozhao didn't care about that, she just wanted to eat meat.
The pain from being beaten was no match for the temptation of the flesh. She acted as if she hadn't heard anything and didn't even glance at her mother.
