Seeing that Zhao Yuzhu had almost finished washing the clothes, Shen Qingyu turned around and went to the kitchen.
Lighting the fire, cooking, picking vegetables...
Shen Qingyu proceeded in an orderly manner.
The Third Princess was extremely bored and couldn't even talk to the Mad Taoist, so she simply went to the kitchen to find Shen Qingyu.
Watching Shen Qingyu deftly wash and chop vegetables, and take out braised meat from the wall cabinet (space storage room), the Third Princess, sitting by the door, had her eyes light up.
"Sister-in-law, you're so capable!"
Shen Qingyu chuckled: "I also want to lie down and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, but I can't rely on others, so I have to work hard and rely on myself."
The third princess was slightly taken aback, then realized: "My cousin is very good at making money. He can easily provide you with a life surrounded by servants."
Shen Qingyu shook her head: "I'm not used to having outsiders living in my house for extended periods."
There aren't many chores to do; I can manage by myself.
The third princess misunderstood: Could these words be referring to her?
Clearing her throat, the Third Princess smiled ingratiatingly, "Sister-in-law, I'm just a glutton. Your cooking is so delicious, my mouth waters just thinking about it, so I always want to come over for a meal..."
"You're leaving the capital soon again, and I don't know when I'll be able to eat here again..."
The Third Princess looked regretful whenever this was mentioned.
Since the Third Princess was so frank, Shen Qingyu didn't know what else to say: "I'll bring you some braised meat back later? And I'll make you some dried braised meat too, you can take that back with you, okay?"
What's wrong with that?
The third princess immediately beamed with joy: "There's no rush now. Just give it to me a day in advance when you're leaving."
It means they'll be coming over for free meals again in the next few days.
The rice porridge was boiling and gradually reducing in volume. Shen Qingyu came out after removing the firewood and advised her, "It's too hot here. Go to your room. The triplets are playing with the dog. Go find them."
"Okay! I'll go first."
The third princess turned and ran.
On the bed of the three little ones, the puppy opened its wet eyes and whimpered as the three little ones petted it.
The little guy initially had lice on his body, which Shen Qingyu couldn't stand. She bought insecticide from the space store and secretly dripped it on the back of the puppy's neck before daring to let the children play with him.
"Little Flower, Little Flower, do you want some of this?"
The thing Xiao Bao is holding is braised dried meat. He asked his mother for it, saying it was for his own consumption, but he turned around and used it to tease the dog.
The little puppy looked at the jerky with its eyes still wet: I want to eat it!
Xiao Bao chuckled and popped a piece of braised jerky into his mouth: "My mom said you can't eat salt, so you can't have this!"
Little puppy: "Waaah..." My owner is bullying me!
Erbao reached out: "I want some too."
Xiao Bao pulled his small satchel over from beside the bed: "There's plenty more here, sister, take it all if you like."
He was surprisingly generous.
The third princess had been watching from the doorway for a while, and now she reached out her hand: "Xiao Bao, can I have some too?"
Xiao Bao looked at the Third Princess and picked out a smaller one: "Here, this is for you."
The third princess looked at the piece of jerky the size of chopsticks and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Am I not even as good as a dog?"
The jerky he used to tease the dog was bigger than the one he had in his hand.
Xiao Bao retorted righteously, "The puppy is my child, how can you compare?"
Erbao, having seen more of the world recently, offered one to the third princess, saying, "Auntie, this is for you."
The third princess was almost moved to tears: "Thank you so much, Erbao!"
Turning around, the Third Princess took out a small bag of pastries: "Here, consider this a return gift for the dried meat you gave me. These are pastries from the Imperial Kitchen."
Xiao Bao's eyes immediately showed envy, and when he looked at the Third Princess again, he became even more eager.
His eyes clearly said: I still have jerky, do you still have snacks?
The third princess suppressed a laugh and pretended not to understand, then started eating dried meat.
See? Kids really need to see more of the world!
Otherwise, it would be too stingy to even part with two pieces of dried meat, and as a result, you would miss out on the snacks.
Fortunately, the second child wasn't the only one; after opening the small bag of snacks, he shared it with the first and second children.
The three little ones squinted their eyes as they ate: "It tastes so good, just as good as the one Grandma brought last time she came over."
When Zhao Yuzhu, who had finished washing the clothes, came over and saw this scene, she was both amused and exasperated, and thanked the Third Princess.
The Third Princess waved her hand: "They call me cousin, so I brought them some snacks. Should I thank them?"
Zhao Yuzhu stopped being coy. Seeing that Shen Qingyu was enjoying the braised pork jerky and didn't know that Shen Qingyu had already promised to give her braised pork and jerky, she went straight to the kitchen and got another plate of braised pork jerky.
The moment the third princess saw the braised pork jerky, her mood instantly improved. She immediately took the oil paper from the snacks the three little ones had eaten, wrapped the braised pork jerky in it, and casually put it into her handbag.
Xiao Bao looked at the Third Princess's handbag in surprise: "Your handbag looks just like ours."
The third princess chuckled, "I just noticed that you all have these little crossbody bags, and I thought they were very convenient, so I made one too!"
Da Bao gave a thumbs up: "This ability to apply what you've learned is truly impressive!"
I was actually praised by a child who is just over six years old!
And the praise was quite appropriate!
The Third Princess almost burst out laughing at Da Bao: "Da Bao, how old are you? Why do you talk like an old scholar?"
Da Bao raised his chin proudly: "That's how our uncle taught us!"
Erbao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! When we did well, that's how Uncle praised us!"
Xiao Bao added, "My uncle learned it from my mom! My mom loves to praise people like that."
