Chapter 339: Don’t give up the basics for the sake of trivial matters
"As long as business is good, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first." Qiao Mo still had a lot of things to do at home, so he finished the water in the cup and said goodbye.
"Momo, hello." Chen Ran and Tang Xinmei sent her to the door.
"Sister Xinmei, Sister Ran, don't keep sewing on the sewing machines all day. You should also pay attention to rest and study. Don't wait until school starts and forget everything." Qiao Mo reminded them before leaving.
"We know that. Although we are busy making clothes these days, we still find time to review every day." Tang Xinmei nodded. She knew that they were students and their main task was to study. Although it was vacation now, they could not neglect the important things.
"It's good that you know it." Qiao Mo also knew that they were not the kind of people who were obsessed with money, so he just reminded them and didn't say anything more.
When Qiao Mo arrived home, Qiao Chengting was already cooking, but she added half of the sweet potato rice to the rice. Qiao Mo could only shake his head helplessly: she put the sweet potato rice in the kitchen for others to see, she only ate rice at home.
"Auntie, put less sweet potato rice next time you cook."
"When I buy grain at the grain station, it's half fine grain and half coarse grain. What will I do if I don't eat the coarse grain?" Qiao Chengting said disapprovingly, but in her heart she thought, if she doesn't eat here, will she let her niece eat all the sweet potato rice when she dies? What would she be then?
"We can find someone to exchange it for fine grains." Qiao Mo explained that many families are short of food now, and they can find someone to exchange food at the grain store. Three pounds of sweet potato rice can be exchanged for one pound of rice, and there are many people who are willing to exchange.
"It would be good to eat some sweet potato rice." Qiao Chengting had suffered a lot, so she felt good as long as she could fill her stomach. Why would she have such high demands?
"Dry sweet potato rice is too unpalatable. I can just put more sweet potatoes in the rice after the sweet potatoes are harvested." Qiao Mo planted a field of sweet potatoes and corn in the backyard, all of which he would eat fresh.
"Got it. I'll put less in next day." Qiao Chengting could only nod. "I picked some beans and eggplants. Mo Mo, you can tell me what to do."
"Since there are only two of us, let's cook some beans and stir-fry some bacon with green peppers." Qiao Mo took out a piece of bacon from the storage room, cut it into pieces, washed it, and cut it into thin slices. He also washed some green peppers and cut them into pieces.
"Momo, save this meat for when guests come."
"Aunt, we are well off now. We don't need to save any meat to entertain guests. We will cook a meat dish every day from now on. I will try to buy some meat in the morning. If not, we can eat bacon and cured fish." Qiao Mo took Qiao Chengting into the storage room, told her what was in the house, and asked her to cook according to her instructions.
"You and Wei Hua are really brother and sister. You say exactly the same things." Qiao Chengting sighed as she looked at the preserved vegetables in the storage room.
"Aunt, life is all about food and clothing. We work hard to make money so that we can eat better and wear better clothes." Qiao Mo said, putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Momo, if you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. We can't eat everything up." Qiao Chengting said disapprovingly.
"Aunt, we haven't eaten it all. We have saved enough for future tuition, medical funds, and start-up capital for business, so you don't have to worry." Qiao Mo knew that she was worried about something, but he didn't expect her to worry about these things.
