Delicious food
Apu and Rita hurried home. Grandma was still comparing the width of the scarf with one hand, holding two knitting needles in the other, and muttering about the stitch number.
One of them snatched the half-finished scarf from grandma's hand, and the other handed her the cold-weather package with a serious expression, just like a prison guard.
"What's going on?" Not only was Grandma Apu confused, but Arthur, who was also visiting, also laughed and said, "Apu, why are you two siblings so serious?"
Without saying anything, Apu quickly opened the lunch box. The hearty meal, still steaming, was stuffed into the old man's arms without question.
"Grandma, eat quickly!"
"Ouch!" Perhaps frugality is the nature of the older generation, not to mention that Grandma Apu is a real farmer.
This meal consisted of three dishes and a soup, featuring beef and mutton, in vibrant red and green. There was also a small dessert. She was used to the usual "home-cooked dishes," so she knew immediately that this was no ordinary set meal.
"Why buy so much! How can I eat so much? What a waste! I have to save money and buy a permanent resident quota! Grandma is not hungry!"
"You are sick now!" Fortunately, Rita is there. Grandma doesn't listen to Apu, but she dares not disobey Rita, the most promising person in the family.
"You have to eat such a rich meal to replenish calories and maintain body temperature. Some people who don't believe in superstition have already gotten into trouble. Grandma, please don't neglect your health for the sake of saving!"
Rita briefly told the story of Luo Zhiwen. When she mentioned that Luo Jiawen had only his mother at such a young age, Grandma Apu immediately felt the same way.
Arthur sat aside with a frown on his face, listening to everything.
He wore furs and was a "VIP" in the territory. He ate and drank well every day and had never even suffered from the state of "weakness and illness". He knew nothing about this matter.
But seeing Rita and Apu, the two siblings, looking so alert and concerned, one knew that this situation was definitely not a good one.
Arthur couldn't help but think of Margaret, Pete and his grandmother far away, and many ordinary civilians who had no thick clothes to wear.
Even the hungry residents wearing such thick clothes have acquired negative status. They...
A wave of worry washed over Arthur.
"It's so scary!" Grandma Apu said, looking at the food in her hands with concern. Years of life experience warned her: "Won't these cold-resistant meals be more expensive?"
A Pu was afraid that grandma wouldn't eat it, so he quickly said, "Grandma, don't worry! These are the original prices!"
"The lord changed the restaurant's standard from home-cooked dishes to gourmet cuisine. It's the same price, but they're selling us more and better food!"
Apu was trying to comfort his grandmother, telling her to eat more without worry, and he couldn't help but smile as he said this.
Thanks to this "delicious meal," his weak and sickly state disappeared. With this healthy body, he could now work and travel freely without worrying about sudden illness.
He was extremely glad that he had made the choice to come to this territory. Although the purpose of this territory was only to "eat and drink enough", it was the most simple aspiration of ordinary people, including himself.
"Good Lord! Thank you!" Grandma Apu nodded repeatedly. Her experience was deeper and broader than Apu's, and she was even more grateful. This was a lord who completely cared about the residents.
Thinking about this, I searched in the wicker basket at hand, but found nothing.
She picked up the knitting needles again and said, "I have to knit something for the lord."
"Grandma! You can't work so hard anymore!" Her granddaughter's voice brought her back to reality.
Grandma Apu nodded suddenly, put down the knitting needles in her hand, and under the "supervision" of her grandchildren, she picked up the lunch box in her hand and started eating bite by bite.
As the food entered my mouth, my body gradually became warm and comfortable, and the dizziness and weakness I had felt before suddenly disappeared a lot.
[The calories you consumed are enough to resist the cold, and you have successfully escaped the "dying" state.
However, the danger is not completely gone. Please rest for at least three more days (72 hours) to recover your physical condition, otherwise you may return to the brink of death at any time.
Grandma Apu showed the light screen to her granddaughter and grandson, and finally the younger generation felt at ease.
After repeatedly telling her not to overwork herself, she left home and returned to work.
While things were over, Arthur felt a heavy and complicated burden on his heart.
He originally thought that it was extremely shocking that even in the Hungry Hungry Territory, civilians could buy clothes like sweaters and down jackets that were complex in craftsmanship.
I didn’t expect that the territory would take the initiative to improve the quality of food, so that ordinary people can not only eat their fill, but also eat deliciously and stay healthy, without charging any extra money!
Arthur had two delicious meals here, and he thought that the points given by the messenger were useful.
I think those sumptuous meals were specially prepared to welcome "distinguished guests", just as the royal family attaches great importance to its diplomatic image.
However, just now when Arthur saw the food that Apu brought back, he realized that what he ate for these two meals was no different from what ordinary hungry residents ate!
There are all kinds of food, such as stir-fried meat and vegetables, soup and rice, dumplings, and bread, all of which are prepared to suit your appetite.
It's not the delicate, delicate dishes you'd find at a banquet, nor is it the crude, overcooked mess of raw and cooked food cooked in one pot. It's a simple meal that whets your appetite, with a wide variety and balanced nutrition.
Arthur recalled the vegetable pancake lunch Peeta had brought with him when he came to buy clothes. The dough, mixed with grains, was so stiff that he had to swallow it raw with just water.
Of course, he didn't dislike vegetable cakes.
The vegetable cakes were made by my grandmother, and no one would complain about the care of their family.
What he disliked was the working meals provided by Margaret, which were very similar to the meals in Hungry Hungry's hotel. However, the food provided there was inferior leftovers from the nobles, like Hungry Hungry's discarded yellow cabbage leaves, which always appeared in the working meals.
Even worse, the meat and vegetables in the work meal were pitifully small, barely enough for two mouthfuls. For these portions, they had to add five extra points!
Ordinary people only choose vegetarian flatbreads. Although the price is a little lower, it is still higher than the prices in the Hungry Hungry Territory.
But let me ask, is this nutritious? Can I feel full?
As Grandma Apu just announced on the light screen, can people consume enough calories to resist the invasion of cold?
Arthur knew the answer without even having to think about it.
Thinking of this, I became restless.
An idea in my mind grew bigger and bigger, taking root and sprouting.
.
If Ye Miaomiao knew at this moment that the "delicious food" working meal was even praised by Margaret's guests, she would definitely feel very pleased.
However, although the "delicious food" is good, it actually increases the meat consumption in the territory.
If it were only the former, it would be fine, but what is worse is that with the arrival of winter, animals have the instinct to hibernate.
Not only chicken coops, but even pig houses, cattle and sheep pens, the meat output will be reduced a lot!
On the one hand, usage increases, while on the other hand, income decreases.
Ye Miaomiao, who was extremely vigilant about the coming of winter and had been observing the consumption of various supplies, was shocked to find that the amount of meat that had been accumulating in the warehouse had suddenly stopped growing.
There wasn't much meat stored in the warehouses, which wasn't a good sign.
