It's really amazing; it seems like their family's life has been getting better and better ever since Mian'er woke up.
Of course, the comparison is with other people whose homes were confiscated and who were exiled, not with their previous wealthy lives.
She is very satisfied with things as they are now, and even the daily routine of cooking feels fulfilling.
Moreover, her daughter secretly praised her last night, saying that she talks a lot now and always has a smile on her face, which makes her very happy.
She used to want to be liked, but in other people's homes, no one would think she was good.
Things are different now. The whole family praises her and expresses their gratitude when they eat her cooking.
This feeling of being needed was something she had always wanted but never received in that family.
She feels great right now; even in adversity, her spirits are high.
Before long, Lin Huwei had finished separating the sheep bones and meat. Shen Xingmian sliced the meat into thin slices, preparing to dip it in the sauce before eating.
If she had eaten this yesterday, the origin of the seasoning would have been hard to explain, but today she just came back from a big shopping trip, so it's not surprising that she has whatever she has on hand.
So she prepared a large bowl of sauce according to her favorite hot pot dipping sauce recipe from her modern days, and chopped up chili peppers, scallions, and cilantro separately, so that anyone who wanted to eat it could add as much as they wanted.
Apart from her aunt and herself, none of the family members had ever been in the kitchen. They only knew that the lamb slices were tender and delicious, and even more so when dipped in the thick sauce, but they couldn't tell what was in the sauce at all.
Only Mu Zhizhi looked puzzled, feeling that the flavor was a bit too rich, but she just glanced at Shen Xingmian and didn't ask anything.
Shen Xingmian was of course aware of her aunt's gaze. If she were the kind of person who would pry into things, she would probably stop caring about other people's meals in order to avoid trouble, and just focus on feeding her father, mother and grandfather.
But since her aunt was so understanding and considerate, she decided to continue quietly like this for the time being.
This was the most enjoyable meal Shen Xingmian had since arriving in ancient times.
She didn't forget to scoop out a bowl of sliced meat and transfer it into her spatial dimension. She would then take it out again when she reached the carriage so that her grandfather and the young prince could also have a hearty meal.
The main dish was noodles stretched by my aunt, along with potatoes cooked until soft and crumbly and a little bit of bright green vegetables, which made up a hot pot meal with mutton as the main ingredient.
Add the mutton and sauce to the bowl and mix well. One bite and you'll experience a rich and complex flavor that's incredibly delicious.
In modern times, Shen Xingmian initially hesitated to order too much meat when eating hot pot, preferring mostly vegetables because he was truly too poor.
So she absolutely loved this simple hot pot meal with its generous amount of meat!
Fortunately, she was very thin, so she didn't feel guilty about eating a lot and could eat to her heart's content.
In the past, there were so many high-oil and high-sugar foods in modern times that people could not resist the temptation. Whether it was for the sake of losing weight or for the sake of health, she had to pay attention to the issue of "seven-tenths full".
She also saw a quote online that resonated with her: "It's so hard to understand what 'seven-tenths full' means. I'm either hungry or stuffed all the time. What exactly does 'seven-tenths full' mean?"
At that moment, she felt like she was a completely different person!
Because she often went hungry as a child, Shen Xingmian developed an exceptionally strong craving for food as she grew up. In the words of netizens, she spent all the money she earned on food.
The Engel coefficient is extremely high.
Later, nuclear contamination appeared, gradually spreading from the ocean to every corner of the earth, and the number of people with cancer began to increase dramatically, and later even genetic problems emerged.
After the emergence of superpowers, the world went completely into chaos.
Law enforcement agencies have no control over those with superpowers, some radicals even take pleasure in live-streaming murders, food and water are no longer safe, and the world is in chaos.
Shen Xingmian had lived alone for a long time and was very good at enduring loneliness, but she really couldn't stand not being able to eat good food. That kind of miserable life, like a rat in a sewer, was not much better for her than death.
It would be so meaningless to live if you couldn't even afford meat.
That's why she ultimately chose to fight the octopus monster to the death, because survival held no appeal for her.
I don't know if it was because her actions seemed particularly noble at the time that God was especially kind to her and gave her this opportunity.
It smells so good!
It refers to the meat in your mouth, and also to the life you have now that you are loved.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Yanyue's gaze kept drifting involuntarily to her left foot, which had just been treated that day. There were still some bloodstains on the gauze, but compared to how much blood had flowed when she was injured, it was nothing.
He didn't feel any discomfort in his wound until dinner time, and it was no different from his right foot, which still had a torn Achilles tendon.
He is looking forward to tomorrow, and even more so to every day after he recovers from his injury.
None of the knowledge he had acquired in the past mentioned that a severed Achilles tendon could be cured, nor did it mention that there was an antidote for "March Poison".
If there really are fairies in this world, then they must look just like her.
He couldn't resist looking for gaps in the curtain of leaves, and when he peered through, he saw Shen Xingmian holding a bowl, eating with a happy and satisfied expression.
The way she ate looked so delicious, it made me want to eat more too, and I unconsciously started eating faster.
When Xiao Yanyue returned, Shen Zhiheng also went over to look out of curiosity. He saw that right in front of him was his beloved granddaughter, and he immediately understood.
Sure enough, everyone who gets to know his sweetheart well gradually becomes attracted to her; that's charm, isn't it?
He still feels very proud of this.
When Shen Xingmian went to wash up by the river after eating, she noticed that the water level had dropped significantly. Coupled with the rising price of food in the city, she had a bad feeling.
Hopefully, a drought is on the horizon.
She grew up in the north, where there was a severe drought every summer, but that wasn't the worst part, since most people there grew corn, which is very drought-resistant.
What's really frustrating is that just when it's time for the autumn harvest, there are continuous torrential rains, and the fields are so muddy that it's impossible to get in.
Once the weather cleared up, people could finally enter the fields; the crops had all sprouted from being soaked.
All year round, all for nothing, no harvest at all.
Regardless of the outcome, it will be a devastating blow to farmers.
You should know that the taxes here are very high. Even if farmers work hard in the fields all year round, their income is barely enough for their family to eat and drink.
If you save money by living frugally, you can barely make a little money left over. But if someone in the family gets sick, that little bit of money will be gone. You might even have to borrow money from relatives and friends to make ends meet, and then pay it back the following autumn harvest.
In such circumstances, if there is a complete crop failure in any year, then there is really no way to survive.
