The food tonight was particularly greasy. By the time all the dishes were served on the table, the aroma had filled the entire house. The children couldn't wait to try these vegetables they had never seen before and how delicious they were. However, they still suppressed the urge to pick up their chopsticks. After their grandfather took the first bite, they couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and reach for the delicious food they had been staring at for a long time.
After everyone took their first bite, they all squinted their eyes and chewed the delicious food in their mouths! At this time, Xiaoliu said in surprise, "Sister, this is too delicious, right? It's sour. Is it made from that red fruit?" Qibao listened to Liu's words and replied, "That's called tomato. If Liuge likes it, we can eat it every day from now on!"
When the other children heard what the younger sister said, they all nodded happily, their chopsticks constantly picking up the delicious food on the plates, their mouths too busy to speak! Even the adults nodded repeatedly, saying "delicious, delicious" as they ate.
Everyone's bowl was filled with glistening rice, especially when soaked in the vegetable broth. It was incredibly delicious! They devoured the food so quickly that the table was completely empty, not even the broth left. Everyone was still rubbing their stomachs, savoring the delicious meal.
Uncle Xu said, "Qibao, I didn't expect the food at your master's place to be so delicious. This is the first time I've felt that vegetables are more delicious than meat!"
Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Yes, these vegetables can definitely be sold. They are the only ones we have! We will definitely make money! Qibao, I will rely on you more in the future." As he said this, he pretended to bow to Qibao. Everyone present laughed out loud! Qibao was also laughing at Uncle Xu's joke!
Qibao said, "Everyone, help digest your food first. I'll have some delicious food for everyone to try later. It's definitely something you've never tasted before." He looked mysterious. When the children heard Qibao say there were some delicious things, they all gathered around his sister and asked, "Sister, what else do you have? Can you show us?" Xiaoliu looked at Qibao with sparkling eyes, drooling, and secretly picked up the corner of his big brother's clothes to wipe his saliva.
Qibao found this extremely funny and said hurriedly, "Brother, don't be impatient. Wait until you have digested the food before eating, otherwise you will get a stomachache."
When Xu Laosan saw that all the children in the family were surrounding Qibao, he said with a fierce face, "You little bastards, stop bothering your sister. Qibao is right. Look at your bulging bellies. Can your stomachs hold more food?" The other adults laughed when they saw this!
Zhang said, "Wenwu, take your brothers to the foot of the mountain to collect some firewood. We are running out of firewood at home."
When Xu Wenwu heard his mother say this, he said, "I know, Mom!"
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had cleaned up the table and the kitchen, Qibao took out the fruits that had been prepared in the space. Everyone looked at these fruits that they had never seen before and asked Qibao what they were. Qibao introduced the names of these fruits one by one. Then they picked up one and tasted it, and they all praised it. The boys ate until the juice was dripping all over the fruit. The whole basket of fruits was finished and their stomachs were full again. The seven brothers and sisters sat in a row in their yard. The eldest brother whispered, "Sister, is this really our home? Why does it feel so unreal?" He said with a happy smile. As the eldest child in the family, he not only helped the adults take care of his younger siblings, but also shared the housework within his ability. He didn't talk much, but he cared about his younger siblings. The younger ones usually listened to their eldest brother.
The third brother said, "Brother, this is our home. We are living a good life now. We can eat white rice and such delicious fruits. There are so many vegetables in the vegetable garden that we can't finish eating them all. We can go to school in the future and have a new house to live in. This is not a dream!"
Even the toughest Xiao Wu said, "Yes, I can learn martial arts with my sister in the future. This is all real, not a dream!"
Qibao listened to his brothers' words and said distressedly, "Brothers, this is just the beginning. It will be better in the future. In the future, you can buy whatever you want to eat and whatever you want. You just need to do what you want!"
When the little ones heard what their sister said, they all laughed foolishly, as if they were looking forward to a better life in the future!
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone in each room washed up and went to bed. At this time, the courtyard was quiet, and gradually there was no sound...
No words all night
At daybreak the next day, the adults in the family got up and helped load the vegetables onto the oxcart. This time, the old man and his three sons were going to town together. Of course, Qibao was going too, as he was very familiar with these vegetables. After everything was ready, Uncle Xu drove the oxcart, and the others rode slowly towards town. By the time they arrived in town, it was already completely daylight.
First, they came to the door of the nearest Yipinxian restaurant. No one would go to the restaurant to eat in the morning. There were only a few waiters cleaning the restaurant. Uncle Xu had just walked up to the restaurant and had not yet entered when he saw a waiter blocking the door and said, "What are you doing? The kitchen is not yet open. If you want to beg for food, go somewhere else. Don't you even look at yourself? How dare you come into such a place? Can you afford it? Go, go, hurry up and leave!"
Seeing the waiter say this, Uncle Xu said patiently, "Brother, we are not here to beg. We are villagers near the town. We want to sell the fresh vegetables grown in our own fields to the restaurant. Could you please take me to meet your shopkeeper?"
The waiter reached out and pushed Uncle Xu, saying, "Don't you see what kind of moral character you have? You're dressed like this, you're nothing but a beggar, and you still want to see our boss? What good things can a peasant like you have? It's nothing but some cabbage sticks. If you don't leave now, I'll have you kicked out!"
Qibao couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward to support his second uncle and said, "Uncle, let's go. We won't sell it to his family. He's not the only one who owns a restaurant in this town!" As he said that, he glared at the waiter with a cold look!
The waiter was so frightened by being stared at that he was scared by a five-year-old kid. By the time he realized that he had been scared by a five-year-old kid, the family had already driven away in the ox cart. He was so angry that he could only turn around and go into the restaurant cursing.
Xu Laosan said angrily, "How dare you look down on me like this? This is one of the best restaurants in town. I think it will close sooner or later!"
Grandpa Xu said, "Well, isn't there a Zuixianlou? Let's go there and try. I believe there will be no restaurant that will refuse to buy such good vegetables." He was not worried that they would not be able to sell. These dishes were unique, and it would be his loss if he missed out on Yipinxian!
