Chapter 75 Multi-grain Pancakes



Whether it was multi-grain pancakes or wild vegetable soup, Li Mengyue added a little spiritual spring water.

Because in her opinion, the people helping with housework include young men in their youth and older uncles like Li De.

Logically speaking, they should be in good health, but she saw that they were all more or less malnourished.

Lingquan water can not only quickly replenish the body's physical strength, but also has the effect of strengthening the body.

In special circumstances, it can also be used as a magic medicine. You should know that pouring some magic spring water on external injuries can not only make the wound recover quickly, but also prevent infection. In addition, the hemostatic effect is also great.

After eating the multi-grain pancakes and wild vegetable soup with spiritual spring water, the workers will quickly recover their strength and become more energetic.

Li De and his companions looked at the multi-grain pancakes on the table and began to drool. Unable to resist the temptation of the delicious food, they sat down one by one, took the pancakes and started to eat them with big mouthfuls.

"Oh, this pancake is so delicious that my tongue is about to fall off." Wang Niu said with tears in his eyes while eating.

The others also agreed with Wang Niu's words, but they were busy eating pancakes and did not say anything, but nodded in agreement.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two workers plus Li An ate up all the pancakes that Li Mengyue brought over, and even drank up all the wild vegetable soup.

After eating, everyone was stunned when they looked at the empty food baskets and soup bowls.

They hadn't planned to stay for dinner, but they ate so much.

Wang Niu scratched his head and said to Li An, "Uncle Li An, if you have any work to do at home, just ask me to come over and do it. As long as I can stay for a meal, that's fine."

Li An was very proud to see his daughter cooking and being welcomed by everyone.

So he followed Wang Niu's words and said, "Hey, if I have anything, I'll come to you."

Li De looked at Wang Niu.

"Niu, what are you talking about? Brother Li An would come to me if he had something to do, why would he come to you?"

Wang Niu wanted to refute, but he really had no reason. Besides, he was about the same age as Mengyue's sister, and it was a bit unreasonable for him to often come to Uncle Li An's house to help with work.

But he really wanted to eat the food cooked by sister Mengyue. He had never eaten such delicious food in his life.

Woo... How happy it would be if I could eat such delicious food every day!

Now I envy Uncle Li An, Xiaoyu and Xiaohao. They are sister Mengyue’s family and can eat it every day. I am really jealous of them!

No one knows Wang Niu's psychological activities.

However, when Li Mengyue came in, she noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange, but she didn't care too much and put the packaged multi-grain pancakes on the table.

I said casually, "Thank you all for your hard work today. I prepared two pancakes for everyone to take home for your families to try."

I was feeling sad that I would never be able to eat such delicious pancakes again, when I suddenly heard that I could take two back home.

Wang Niu's mouth opened into a big grin, and he took two pancakes directly, saying with a smile: "Sister Mengyue is thoughtful. Since that's the case, I won't be polite."

The others wanted to say no, but before they could say anything, they were stunned by Wang Niu's coquettish behavior.

It was a bit awkward to refuse, so I followed Wang Niu and took two pancakes each.

After thanking Li Mengyue and saying goodbye to Li An, he went home in the afterglow of the sunset.

After everyone who helped with the work left, Li began to clean up the dishes.

Seeing her mother busy all the time, Li Mengyue stepped forward, took Li's arm, and said softly, "Mom, stop working for now. I have something I want to tell you."

"Ah! Yueyue, what's wrong? What happened?" Li asked worriedly.

Seeing her mother getting so nervous because of a word she said, Li Mengyue felt both warm and sad in her heart.

She was happy that her mother cared about her, but she was sad because her mother had suffered so much torture in the Li family that she had become a frightened bird, and would be terrified at the slightest disturbance.

"Mom, it's okay. I want to tell you that I want to start a small business."

Hearing her daughter say that everything was fine, Li's tense heart relaxed.

However, when she heard that her daughter wanted to do business, Li began to worry again.

It was all because of her and her husband's failure that held their daughter back.

Li Mengyue saw that her mother was nervous, but she didn't want to say much. It took decades to develop this habit, and it would not be changed in a short time.

At this point she spoke directly, "Dad, Mom, there are a lot of locusts on the ground right now, and there are even more eggs. I want to buy locusts from the villagers, fry them at home, make them into snacks of different flavors, and sell them in town."

Even though Li An was mentally prepared and relatively capable of handling things, he was still stunned and opened his mouth wide when he heard his daughter's words.

"Girl...Girl, what did you say?"

"Dad, I want to sell locusts."

Hearing his daughter's affirmative answer, Li An took a deep breath and thought about what to say to make his daughter give up this idea.

It's not that he doesn't want to support his daughter, it's just that his daughter's idea is too shocking.

In his entire life, he had never heard of eating locusts, let alone doing a snack business.

"Daughter, it's not that Dad doesn't support you, but everyone knows that locusts are inedible. You spent money, energy, and time making this, but no one buys it. Isn't it a waste of effort?"

"Listen to Daddy, you don't have to do anything. When Daddy's legs are weak, I'll go to town and find a job and buy you food."

After Li An finished speaking, Li Shi continued to persuade him, "Yes, Yueyue, locusts are poisonous and can't be eaten. Let's not do this business, okay?"

Li Mengyue knew that starting a small business would definitely face opposition, but she didn't expect that the first people to stop her from doing it would be her own parents.

But she also understood that her parents were doing it for her, but she had already decided to do it. No matter how beautiful her parents' words were, they could not stop her from doing it.

"Dad, Mom, locusts are completely edible as long as they are prepared properly. Like the locusts we have now, they are non-toxic and can be roasted or fried. There are also other ways to cook them. The food made with locusts tastes very good."

"I saw that Yu and Hao caught a lot of locusts. I will cook them for you later. Once you taste them, you will know whether they are edible or not and whether they are poisonous or not."

Li opened her mouth to say no, she really didn't want to eat, but her daughter had already stood up and walked out the door.

He raised his hand, then put it down helplessly.
