Chapter 289 Song Chongjin's Thoughts (1/2)



"There are fish and chicken in the space, as well as a lot of vegetables that I stored before. I still have some cured meat and sausage left, and there is also cured fish."

Boiled fish, shredded chicken, chicken stew with mushrooms, steamed fish, stir-fried water spinach with cured meat, and stir-fried chives with eggs—that makes six dishes!

A mix of meat and vegetables is fine.

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao thought for a moment and said, "That's acceptable too!"

If she's not satisfied with these six dishes, then we'll add two more.

I remember last time I was at Qin Mu's house, she really liked the river snails I made, and when we left, she even asked to take the rest with her.

She likes river snails. Although the stream has now turned into a river, I'll try to see if I can catch some.

If that doesn't work, go check out the river over there in Beishan.

That place is no different from the stream we came from before.

If we can get some, we'll make some stir-fried river snails for you later. Hmm, if we have crayfish or something, spicy crayfish would be fine too.

If not, river shrimp will do. Then stir-fry the river shrimp with chives, don't use eggs.

"Okay, since you're in charge of cooking anyway, you can arrange it as you see fit, sis."

By the way, I won't accept these ten taels of silver either.

When each of my nieces-in-law came in later, I would replace this with a small amount (about 50 grams) and give it to them as a greeting gift.

Chi Qiao objected directly: "That's not appropriate! Qiaoya only entered the family a few months earlier than them. If we give her to them, what about Qiaoya?"

But if you want both Qiaoya, what will Aye's wife and Aden's wife think?

Since they're going to be included, then they should all be included. After all, they're all your nieces-in-law; you can't favor one over the other.

There's a saying: "It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality." Little Fish, don't do something so foolish.

Chi Yu hadn't thought that much about it; she just felt that if she accepted the money, everyone would eventually find out.

Since that's the case, and she's not a greedy person, she decided to share the money with her new nieces-in-law.

However, what my sister said makes sense. If she only gives it to a few newcomers, the older ones will inevitably have some doubts.

Not only Qiaoya, but also Liumei and Liulingling might harbor resentment.

"Sister, what do you think is appropriate for me to give them when they reunite as relatives?"

When Ah Ye's wife and Ah Deng's wife first came into the family, I was still young, so I gave them handkerchiefs.

It's just a token gesture, and since they bought it in, no one will say anything.

When Qiaoya arrived, I gave her a piece of cloth. Given the circumstances, giving her cloth was appropriate.

If we give her cloth now, Ah Kang's wife might not want it.

I've seen her a few times; she's always dressed in brocade.

The weather is hot now, but not unbearably so, yet she is wearing gauze.

I think if we're going to give it to them, they should be able to use it!

Chi Qiao thought for a moment and said, "How about you give Xiao Yu a crystal ring or earrings?"

If you're going to send gifts, send the same thing to everyone.

Both of these are small items, unlike bracelets or necklaces, but they are still quite precious.

Chi Yu hesitated for a moment. To her, these were all part of a set, and without one of them, the whole thing would be incomplete.

The set that was pawned before the New Year was cheap, but since it was in a small town, it was worth three or five hundred taels, which was acceptable.

When we go to big cities in the future, the prices will definitely go up.

If one item is missing, the price of the whole set will decrease.

That would be better than just sending the fabric directly, since that's the condition anyway!

Despite thinking this, Chi Yu asked, "Sister, besides this, what about the others?"

To be honest, Chi Qiao had no idea how much of her sister's messy pile of stuff actually was.

Hearing her ask that, I said, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish, we'll go back and lay out all your things so I can take a look."
