Chapter 282: Launching a New Category
The four little girls timidly but gratefully each took a small piece of sesame candy.
Shen Qing gave each person two extra long sections and did not keep the rest, but distributed them to the people who came with him.
Liu Cuihua also took a small piece and put it into her mouth with one hand, while using the other hand to catch the fallen cooked sesame seeds. As she ate, she praised: "It's so sweet, so fragrant, and so delicious!"
Ever since Shen Qing and the other ten families came here, she has really lived a good life.
The return gift at the last wedding banquet was also sesame candy, a full pound. How could they have ever been willing to spend money on it before? Even if they did, they would only buy one or two pieces to share with the children to sweeten their mouths. They, the adults, would never let them eat it!
Who would have thought that people in the village could make it? Not only that, but it was even sweeter and more delicious than those in Jincheng.
And considering that we are from the same village, it only costs 55 wen per catty, which is nearly 30 wen cheaper than the price of more than 80 wen in the city!
Thinking of the sixty or seventy taels of silver in savings at home, and looking at the children who really loved to eat, the three families each ordered three pounds.
We also ordered some tofu and dried bean curd from Zhao Mingyue, and we've been eating them together these days. I never thought life could be this good...
Pinggu was reluctant to eat the candies she got. She had eaten a lot of delicious food with her madam in the past when she was in the capital. But after her madam passed away and they came to the mountains, she could only get a few candies during the New Year to add to the festive atmosphere.
Since her son liked it, she left it all for him to eat.
She looked at her four daughters, handed out the sesame candies they had been given, and said habitually, "You guys eat. I just drank some brown sugar water at the host's house, so I'm not hungry."
"No need, mother. We have some. You can eat them!"
"We have three pieces. Besides, you're injured, so of course you have to eat the good stuff."
"Mom, please don't give it to us, and don't keep it for yourself. I'm going to leave a piece for you, so you can have something to eat tomorrow."
"I also saved a piece, so you can have something to eat the day after tomorrow~"
Pinggu looked at her four daughters' faces which became more and more proud as they spoke, and her nose felt sour and astringent. The son whom she loved with all her heart only wanted to ask for things from her, and her four daughters wanted to leave any candy for her.
They are obviously several years younger than the eldest brother Youcai, but they are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
She took a deep breath, smiled and threatened: "You are not allowed to keep any of it. Eat it all. Otherwise, if you faint from hunger later, what will the master do if he sends you back?"
The four little girls blinked, showing frightened expressions, and asked blankly: "Will they send it back?"
"I don't want to be sent back, I want to be with my mother!"
After hearing this, the two little ones immediately ate the remaining candies, fearing that they would faint from hunger.
After all, Xiaojin and Xiaoyin are older and more sensible. They know that their mother is trying to scare them. However, when buying a person, who would want to buy someone with poor health?
They couldn't cause trouble for their mother, and even more so for the host family, so they both ate the sesame candy in small bites in silence.
Shen Qing was very pleased to see that the four little girls were eating.
The five people, including Pinggu, were too thin, so thin that they were just skin and bones, like disaster victims. She was afraid that the strong wind would blow the five people away.
What's more, they are afraid that the five of them will faint while walking on the mountain road. After all, they hadn't solved the problem before and were still holding on with breath. Now that the problem is solved, the breath they were holding has relaxed, and their body functions can't keep up. Once hypoglycemia occurs, they are most likely to fall.
Falling on this mountain road is no joke.
The five of them finished eating the candy, and the next moment, a long-lost sound rang in Shen Qing's mind.
"'Do the right thing and you'll be rewarded' is now online. We'll open the seed category for you for free and give you four extra one-cubic-meter lockers."
Shen Qing: .....The mall she has been thinking about day and night, you have finally opened a new category!
Do you know how much she has been thinking about you during this period?
Wait, seeds? She needed meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit, cakes, and daily necessities more than anything else. If that didn't work, she could open a cloth item. Why did she only open a seed item that she didn't need right now?
Fortunately, there are four one-cubic-meter storage cabinets. Although one cubic meter is not large, four of them are equivalent to the storage capacity of four small refrigerators. Whatever you put in can be taken out in the same way. This function is better than a refrigerator and very practical!
Next time I go to Jincheng, I can stock up on more eggs and meat...but I don’t know when I will be in the city next time.
But these are not the main points. The main point is that the mall gave rewards, which means that Pinggu and her four daughters did the right thing!

On the way back, the men continued to work in the workshop.
Liu Cuihua followed Shen Qing to his house to see if he needed any help.
Shen Qing looked at the five people with greasy hair and dirty bodies, especially Pinggu's clothes, which had dried blood stains on them. She hadn't changed them since she came back from the injury last time.
But it was also true that the eldest Xiao Jin was only eleven years old. It was freezing cold, and he didn't dare to bathe or wash his mother and sisters' hair.
She glanced at the sky and estimated that it was around one o'clock, the hottest time of the day, which was a good time for the five of them to wash up and get ready.
She first walked up to Huo Bing and Guan Li who rushed out from the kitchen and whispered, "Make five bowls of noodles, just enough to fill you up, not too much, and put an egg in each bowl.
Add some green vegetables and oil residue, but not too much oil residue to make it greasy.
The five people were very hungry. They couldn't eat too much at once, nor could they eat too greasy food. They should have some soup to fill their stomachs first, and then have dinner after a few hours. It is best to eat small meals frequently.
"I got it, Mom. It will be over in a moment." The two of them responded and quickly turned and went into the kitchen.
Shen Qing then pointed to a small room on the west side and asked Liu Cuihua, "Cuihua, that's the bathroom. Please help boil some hot water so the five of them can wash themselves properly. I'll go get them some clothes to change into."
The five people had not had enough to eat for several days, so it was definitely not possible to ask them to boil water for their own bath. After they ate the noodles and rested for a while, the hot water in the bathroom was boiled and the room was warm, which was just right.
"Okay!" Liu Cuihua responded cheerfully.
When she entered the bathroom, Liu Cuihua was shocked again.
A large stove was built separately, and several large wooden barrels were placed next to it. Each barrel was washed clean and there was plenty of cold water inside, which could be directly scooped into the large iron pot.
After the hot water is boiled, scoop it into the bathtub, and then boil another pot. Add two pots of hot water to the cold water and you can start taking a bath. While the iron pot continues to boil, you can keep the room warm and add a ladle of hot water from time to time.
By the way, after washing your hair, you can dry it in front of the stove!
God, she never thought taking a bath could be so exquisite and comfortable!
If I make one at home, will taking a bath no longer be a problem next winter?
It's crazy and exciting!
On the other side, Shen Qing led the five people into the main room, and a warm breath rushed towards them.
"Please sit down first. I'll go find some clothes for you to change into." She had to carefully check which seeds were the most important!
