Bai Ziqian has always agreed that Shui Qing's cooking is delicious.
But the food wasn't necessarily good, because there were few varieties, and you could only eat the same few dishes over and over again.
After spending two days at Sun Jinhua's house, I realized the stark difference in the food when I returned to their home and stopped complaining.
Now, facing a table laden with hot dishes, cold platters, and stews, he looked up blankly, his face full of grievance, and asked, "Auntie, has the food become like this while I was away?"
Waaah, it turns out it wasn't that Aunt Shuiqing only knew how to cook those few dishes, it was just that she didn't cook them for him!
Li Huyu slapped her son on the back and said cheerfully, "What are you thinking! Who eats like this every day? This is obviously to entertain us."
Dahe stared at the dishes on the table in front of him without touching them, and said to Bai Ziqian, "If this is how you eat when you're here, then don't leave, okay?"
The other children nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
Bai Manshan laughed.
There was so much delicious food that his son didn't want to leave, and the other children didn't want him to leave either, because of the delicious food.
"Aside from rabbits, which we can't guarantee we'll have every day, we can have old hens and pork, provided your Uncle Bai family is here!" Shui Qing said with a smile.
The five little ones immediately cheered and shouted that the other three should stay.
The atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
Bai Manshan and Li Huyu were touched by the warm atmosphere and wanted to stay and enjoy the slow-paced rural life, but each had their own considerations, so they could only say, "We're afraid we can't stay for more than two days."
However, if your family agrees, Qian'er can stay for a while.
Bai Ziqian looked at Shui Qing with longing eyes.
Shui Qing waved her hand generously: "Stay as long as you want!"
Glancing at the dejected Ling Ran out of the corner of her eye, she added, "Let me make this clear from the start: we don't support idlers here. Everyone has to work and earn their living through their own abilities!"
Even if the Bull Demon King came, he would have to plow two acres of land before he could leave.
Upon hearing the last sentence, the desolation on Ling Ran's face lessened somewhat.
Bai Ziqian raised his hand and assured him, "No problem!"
"Dinner's ready!" Shui Qing announced.
The large round table was big enough to accommodate everyone, so there was no need to divide it into smaller tables. The four adults sat in the main seats, and the children were arranged in order of age.
I made the ginger and pepper rabbit dish with clear broth, so I didn't dare make it too spicy. I used bell peppers instead, which looks nice and isn't spicy.
Bai Manshan and Li Huyu, who are not good at eating spicy food, also found it quite palatable.
When Bai Manshan picked up a piece of hot and sour shredded potato with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, it took him a while to realize that this was the potato that Qian'er had been talking about!
He quickly swallowed the potato in his mouth and asked several questions in a row: "Are there any more potatoes?"
What is the yield per mu (unit of land area)?
Have you ever grown this?
Is it easy to grow?
Li Huyu knew her husband's businessman mind was working again, so she tugged at his sleeve and reminded him, "We're eating right now. How can they eat if you ask them questions like that?"
Bai Manshan looked embarrassed.
Fan Jin didn't pay attention, put down his chopsticks, and replied one by one: "There are some in the vegetable garden, only two or three plots are planted, and they are easy to grow if cut into pieces."
The exact yield per mu is unknown, but it should be significantly higher than that of corn.
Hearing that it was taller than corn, and much taller, Bai Manshan was even more satisfied.
When the sausage and potato rice was served, Bai Manshan, after taking a bite, couldn't wait to go to the vegetable garden to take a look!
