Chapter 176 Your Countryside is Different from My Countryside
The people of the Great Qi Dynasty were also confused, "..."
etc.
Ask them to count how many dishes are there?
Is this the kind of food that poor families can prepare? Are you kidding me?
Jian Yunsang couldn't help but shake his head, "This is too sumptuous."
"No, no, these are all home-cooked dishes. We went to town to buy some fresh pork belly and chicken wings. My cousin caught some fish in the pond a few days ago and gave it to us. There are no spring bamboo shoots yet, but the winter bamboo shoots are at their freshest, so I dug a few. We raise our own chickens and eggs. We exchanged soybeans for the tofu, and my grandparents grew the bean sprouts themselves. The other eggplants, cabbages, and radishes were all picked from the fields. We didn't spend much money, so don't worry, Teacher Jian."
Grandma Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it didn't cost much."
Jian Yunsang was helpless, and Su Fangrong quickly said, "Teacher Jian, please try my cooking skills."
As if he had thought of something, he quickly said, "By the way, Master, do you want to drink? My grandpa brewed the wine himself, would you like to try it?"
"No, I have to drive back to the county town in the afternoon."
Su Fangrong didn't go to get the wine. Instead, she poured drinks for a few people and gave Chao Chao a box of milk.
The people of Daqi under the sky watched them eat the extremely sumptuous 'poverty meal'.
However, the way they entertain guests in rural areas is different, with a few more dishes.
But... at most there will be more meat dishes, and there will never be more meat dishes than vegetarian dishes, and there will also be a pot of white rice.
Sure enough, your countryside is different from ours.
Lin Lan sighed, "Before, I always thought that it was fortunate that Chaochao's family in the future was very wealthy. If she was born in the countryside, she might not have lived such a happy life. Now that I think about it, even if she was in the countryside, Chaochao should not...have suffered."
At least, it won’t be like in Shangliu Village.
As they were sighing like this, they heard the guards escorting them say, "We'll be at the dock soon, everyone get ready."
Lin Lan and the others were stunned, "We're here already?"
The head of the guard replied, "After we get off the boat, we still need to take a carriage and will not arrive in the capital until tomorrow."
Although they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, everyone felt inexplicably nervous.
Once they arrive in the capital, will they meet the emperor?
What would the emperor be like? What would he say and do to them?
If he asked about Chao Chao, how should I answer? Although the guards had taught me etiquette, what if I was too nervous and suddenly couldn't remember? If I accidentally made a mistake, would I be held accountable?
There were so many things on their minds that they had no time to even look at the sky dome and quickly packed up their things.
Chaochao finished her lunch first, so Jian Yunsang asked her to take her box of milk and leave the table and go to the living room to play the tangram puzzle that Grandpa Zhou used to make.
The little girl worked hard for a while, and when she went back to the kitchen, everyone had finished eating. Her parents and Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were talking in the yard, and only Su Fangrong was in the kitchen, wiping the table.
Seeing Chao Chao, she turned around and asked, "Chao Chao, do you want to take a nap first?"
She remembered that children all had the habit of taking naps.
Chao Chao shook his head and said, "No, I get up late in the morning."
Because she got up late in the morning, it was not early when they arrived at Jinwen Village, and they had lunch soon after.
Su Fangrong smiled and said, "Okay, then wait for me for a while, I'll pour the water and take you around the village."
Jian Yunsang just walked in and smiled when he heard this, "Where are you going?"
"Go pick oranges in the orange forest? Or as I said before, there's an internet celebrity coming to our village to help sell oranges live. They've even set up a stage on the open space in front of the ancestral hall. It's pretty nice. Do you want to join in the fun?"
Su Fangrong had finished pouring the water, took off her apron and wiped her hands.
Jian Yunsang thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to go and take a look. Have they started the live broadcast?"
She hadn't seen anyone else's live broadcast yet, and she was still a little curious.
Su Fangrong shook her head. "Not yet. They said it would start tomorrow. I don't know if they are here today. A lot of people came yesterday. They arranged the lighting and background boards, and rehearsed for a while."
She didn't quite understand. This was a live broadcast. Was a rehearsal required?
But it’s not surprising. Maybe we need to check the process or something.
After Su Fangrong finished speaking, she went inside to change her clothes. When she came out, she said to the two elderly people, "Grandpa and grandma, I will take Teacher Jian and the others to the ancestral hall first."
Just as she finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Fangrong, are you ready to go out?"
"Uncle Qi is here. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Chao Chao looked up and found that it was Uncle Qi next door who had taught her how to brush cement before.
The other person was very friendly to her, so Chaochao smiled at him too.
Uncle Qi chuckled and asked Su Fangrong, "Do you have any potatoes at home? Lend me some."
"Yes, Uncle Qi, wait a minute. I'll get it for you."
As she was talking, Su Fangrong had already hurried into the house and came out with a few big potatoes in her hands. "Uncle Qi, haven't you eaten yet?"
Uncle Qi took the potato and smiled, "Eat it. This is my eldest grandson who wanted to eat potato chips. My son said the ones we buy are unhealthy, so I thought of making them myself. I don't have any potatoes at home, so I asked you to borrow some."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and saw Chao Chao looking at the potatoes in his hand curiously. Thinking that children all like to eat potato chips, he said to Chao Chao, "Sister, when Uncle Qi finishes making them later, can I give you some too?"
Chao Chao hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, uncle."
She had some potato chips that she had bought at the supermarket earlier and kept in the car. She ate half a bag of them while on the road just now.
It turns out that children all like to eat potato chips. No wonder there were several bags of potato chips in Brother Yuanyuan’s big bag of snacks.
Uncle Qi left, but Chaochao's eyes were still on him.
He Nanzhou looked down at her, "What's wrong?"
"Dad, are the potato chips I eat made from that thing called potatoes?"
"Yes, not only potato chips, but also the yellow ginger-like shredded potato that we had for lunch today. It's the soft and tender potato cubes that Zhao Ma put in the beef brisket stew at home, and the yellow mashed potatoes that I made for you are all made of potatoes."
Chao Chao widened his eyes in shock. Are these all made of potatoes?
She carefully recalled what her father had said. Potato chips and shredded potatoes were a bit crispy, while potato cubes and mashed potatoes were sticky and had completely different tastes.
Although Chaochao had eaten potatoes several times, she didn't know what it was called.
After all, she had eaten so many new and interesting things since she came back that she would occasionally ask, and sometimes she would forget to ask.
Zhao Ma can cook a lot of dishes, but she only uses potatoes two or three times.
