"Hey, what do you mean by that, Zhu? You're a rich girl who's never been out of touch with reality. You have no idea about our suffering. What gives you the right to lecture us?"
Zhu Qinghao gave a cold sneer, cast a glance at her and told her to figure it out herself, then left.
There's no need to waste words with someone like that.
She may not have personally experienced the suffering of many people, but she knows that down-to-earth people will not, like Zhu Pandi and Shi Qiang, recklessly overdraw their future.
After Zhu Qinghao returned home, the first thing she did was eat, and the second thing she did was go to Si Tian's place.
She recounted her encounter with the two people at the infirmary, then changed her story, revealing the medicine they wanted to buy and warning her to be careful.
As expected of someone who has read many novels, Si Tian understood the meaning behind Zhu Qinghao's casual remark and patted her chest to assure her that she would definitely be careful of these two people.
After finishing their business, the two started chatting about everything under the sun, trying to find some fun in this dull winter.
As they talked, Si Tian was suddenly inspired by Zhu Qinghao.
"Hey~ I have an idea. We don't have many fresh vegetables to eat in winter, right? I know a vegetable that can be eaten in just over a week!"
Zhu Qinghao was indeed not very familiar with this area, and upon hearing Si Tian's words, she was quite surprised and quickly asked her:
"What? It can be grown in just over a week? That fast?"
Si Tian nodded with a happy expression, like a chick pecking at rice.
"That's right! It's that fast! Do you want to try it?"
This needs to be kept in a room with a heated kang (traditional Chinese bed) at all times because it's quite sensitive to temperature; it won't grow if it's too cold.
Zhu Qinghao definitely wants to give it a try. After all, she still has to supply vegetables to the cowshed in winter. If there's something that can be done openly and honestly, she'd definitely be willing to do it openly and honestly.
"I want to know! So what kind of dish is it? Is it good?"
Si Tian thought for a moment, then suddenly felt at a loss for words and didn't know how to describe it to her.
"Hmm... wait here, I have some at home, how about we make some tonight and try it?"
Well, this girl is about to start taking things out again.
Zhu Qinghao thought this to herself, but didn't show any other emotions on her face. She just looked expectantly in the direction Si Tian was returning from.
Before long, Si Tian brought out a basket of white, tender shoots from an unknown plant inside the house. They looked extremely delicate.
"Is this... a tiny sprout?"
Si Tian walked over with a basket in her hand, allowing Zhu Qing to see it up close.
"These are bean sprouts. This is the dish I just told you about. These are the little sprouts that have grown from beans. They are ready to be eaten right now."
If the temperature were higher, it would be ready to eat in three to five days, but it's winter now, and the temperature here is too low. If it's kept in a room with a heated kang (traditional Chinese bed), it would probably last about a week.
Zhu Qinghao had a vague recollection of eating bean sprouts, though only a few times, and they seemed to look quite different, so she was somewhat hesitant to recognize them.
"I think I've seen this before, but it's thicker and shorter than yours, and the two small leaves on top don't look like this..."
Si Tian knew she was referring to bean sprouts, so she explained to her:
"That's right, they're all the same thing, just made from different beans, so the bean sprouts that grow out are different."
What you're describing is most likely soybean sprouts or peanut sprouts. What I have here are mung bean sprouts; they're both quite delicious. Would you like to try some?
Zhu Qinghao was naturally willing to try. It was rare to have such fresh vegetables openly available in the dead of winter, and in her memory, there were probably not many people who knew how to sprout beans.
"Great! Since you know how to grow it, let's give it a try. I've never eaten this before. How can we cook it? Should we stir-fry it?"
While Zhu Qinghao asked this question aloud, she was already calculating in her heart that this bean sprout seemed to have a greater use.
