“You could say that,” Mo Qianchang paused for a moment, “but it’s different from salt. Let’s put it this way: salt is a necessity, while seasonings are for flavoring.”
As she spoke, Mo Qianshang scooped the food out of the pot.
You can plant some chili peppers and scallions in the yard. The system has seeds, although you can buy them outside, but there are very few.
Generally, only restaurants tend to receive more money from restaurants; ordinary families often don't get any at all.
At this point, being able to fill one's stomach is already a blessing; who has any other thoughts?
Mo Qianshang placed the dishes on the table and then went to prepare the others. When she had served all the dishes, she found that the children were sitting neatly at the table, but none of them had touched their chopsticks.
The children watched longingly, their eyes silently asking if dinner was ready.
"Have you all washed your hands? Dinner is ready."
The children all nodded in agreement, and Mo Qianshang couldn't help but admire these little gluttons.
After Mo Qianshang said that dinner was served, the children all picked up their chopsticks, took their favorite dishes, and ate heartily.
"Mommy, it's delicious..."
Qin Yuya mumbled these words as she ate, and Mo Qianshang, fearing she might choke, quickly told her to finish eating before speaking.
Mo Qianshang was quite pleased to see that none of the children were picky eaters, but what she didn't know was that the children weren't being picky; it was just that her cooking was too delicious.
After dinner, the children took the initiative to share the housework, some washing the dishes and others sweeping the floor.
Mo Qianshang was also happy to have some free time. With nothing else to do, she and Xiao Yaoshi made two pairs of shoes for the children while it was still bright.
To make the children more comfortable to wear, Mo Qianshang added several extra soft pads, making the clothes lightweight and comfortable to wear.
As long as the shoes the kids wear are durable, that's fine. These little rascals are at the age where they love to play, they're not only very mischievous, but they're also growing taller very quickly.
Especially Qin Heming, who is the eldest brother, after he started receiving nutrition from you, his clothes would become a little too small after wearing them for more than a month. Therefore, when Xiao Yaoshi made clothes for them, she would make them extra long and sew up the excess parts so that she could take them down later without having to make them so frequently.
Qin Qingyu grew up quite quickly. Sometimes he would wear clothes that his older brother Qin Heming had discarded. Although they were a bit old, they didn't have any patches, so they were already quite good.
Qin Qingyu felt that it wasn't easy for his mother to earn money to support them. It didn't matter that he was a boy, but his younger sister couldn't be dressed poorly.
Qin Zixuan, needless to say, usually only wore two sets of clothes to school, and had to change into his older brothers' old clothes when he came back.
Because he was so prolific, even though he didn't know what he was doing, he always managed to tear a couple of holes in his clothes.
When Qin Baiyi arrived, he was already surrounded by three boys, all of whom wanted him to teach them martial arts, especially Qin Zixuan.
Watching Mo Qianshang making shoes for the children, chatting with Xiao Yaoshi as she worked, she seemed to be enjoying a peaceful and idyllic life.
At this moment, Mo Qianshang looked up and smiled at the children. Qin Baiyi received the gaze, and although he knew that the smile was not directed at him, he still blushed shamefully.
He could hear his heart pounding in his chest, and felt it beating faster. He even slowed his breathing, afraid of disturbing this beautiful moment.
"Uncle in white, didn't you say you'd teach me a new martial art if I showed you?"
Qin Zixuan tugged at his father's sleeve and shook it, "Father, you're distracted by Mom."
Qin Baiyi snapped out of his daze and told Qin Heming and Qin Qingyu to practice horse stance, while Qin Zixuan showed him the results of their efforts over the past few days.
Qin Heming and Qin Qingyu are mainly focusing on building a solid foundation. If their lower body is unstable, learning martial arts will be useless.
Before long, both of them were covered in sweat. Practicing the horse stance not only exercises the body but also improves physical fitness. Qin Yuya found it very interesting and pulled Liu Xiaoyue to imitate her.
Neither of the two girls could hold on for long before their legs started to ache terribly, so Mo Qianshang had to teach them how to stretch, and the pain subsided after a while.
Qin Zixuan's practice was quite impressive, and Qin Baiyi wouldn't go back on his word since he had promised.
He was very patient in teaching his own son, and only let Qin Zixuan figure it out on his own after he knew that Qin Zixuan could already imitate the movements.
Next, let the two children who were practicing horse stance rest for a while, and then we'll teach them something else.
Time passed by unnoticed, and the moon quietly climbed into the sky.
Watching the children, their faces flushed and panting heavily, drinking large bowls of water in one gulp, I noticed that although it was tough, none of them complained of being tired.
Mo Qianshang added some salt to the water, making it taste a bit salty, but it could quickly replenish what the body needed.
It was getting late, so we boiled water for the children to take a bath, and they all fell asleep on the bed.
Mo Qianshang quietly closed the door and went to Qin Yuya's room, where she was still awake.
"Mommy, you're here! Can you sleep with me tonight?" Qin Yuya asked, still full of energy after her bath.
"Of course, but Mother needs to take a bath first, she'll be right back."
Qin Yuya obediently lay down and waited for her mother. This time, she tried her best to keep her eyes wide open. Even if she was sleepy, she would wait for her mother to come before she could sleep.
Knowing that a little one was thinking about her, Mo Qianshang quickly took a shower and went into Qin Yuya's room.
Qin Yuya's big eyes lit up when she saw Mo Qianshang arrive. "Mother, you're here! I've already warmed the bed for you."
Mo Qianshang unceremoniously crawled into bed, hugged Qin Yuya, covered her with the blanket, and lay down.
"Mother, I have trouble sleeping."
Qin Yuya felt she still had some energy. Although it wasn't the first time she had slept with her mother, she was so happy that she couldn't fall asleep because her mother had said she would spend more time with her.
"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little white rabbit. It was very proud and arrogant, and every day it challenged the animals in the forest to races. No animal could outrun it. One day, it saw a little tortoise and decided to tease it. It said to the tortoise, 'Little tortoise, let's have a race! From this hilltop to that hilltop, whoever gets there first wins!' The tortoise agreed. The little rabbit ran halfway and saw the tortoise falling behind, thinking it had it in the bag. So it found a big rock, lay down on it, and took a nap. The tortoise kept climbing and climbing. Even though the little rabbit was asleep, it kept climbing. When the little rabbit woke up, the tortoise was almost at the finish line. The little rabbit ran as fast as it could, but it was too late. The tortoise had already reached the finish line..."
As Qin Yuya listened, she slowly closed her eyes. Seeing that she was sleepy, Mo Qianshang softened her voice and held her as she slept.
