Abandoned Wives of the Ages: Getting Rich from Space Warehouses

Chapter 86: Will this rice be cooked?

"Onions?" Grandma Cui didn't react for a moment. It's a good place to buy vegetables. Why are you buying onions?

"As for onions, garlic will do as well." Yu Qing explained: "I have opened some land next to my house, and I want to grow onions and garlic. If I need spices for cooking in the future, I can always have them."

"So it's like this. I still have some left at home. It's hanging on the wood stove. It probably hasn't sprouted yet. I wanted to save it for cooking coriander during the Chinese New Year. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

"It's true, that's great, thank you grandma." Yu Qing, who was unexpectedly surprised, had a sweet voice.

Grandma Cui smiled happily when she heard this, took her to the kitchen, and asked her to climb up on a stool and take it down.

It was packed in a bamboo basket that was dark with smoke. The onions and garlic together weighed about three kilograms. Grandma Cui gave her two cents per kilogram.

Because the green vegetables are all half big, Grandma Cui said they cost two cents per catty, so Yu Qingrang calculated the price at three cents per catty, and sold them when they grow bigger. One vegetable is worth the weight of two or even three vegetables. She is not good at it.

Bullying the elderly.

Twelve pounds of green vegetables only cost 36 cents, plus three pounds of seeds, the total cost was only 66 cents. At this moment, Yu Qing really realized that prices in this era are really cheap.

Likewise, it is too difficult for farmers.

It was getting late and she had to rush back to prepare food and cook. Yu Qing settled the money and hurried to the power station with a basket in hand.

Grandma Cui's grandson saw that no one else was around, so he smiled and came to Grandma Cui's side, "Grandma, you sold a lot of money today. Since the vegetables we grow at home are edible, you can bring some spinach back for lunch."

?Your grandson and I haven’t even eaten spinach this year, he’s very greedy.”

Despite her age, Grandma Cui was very nimble and slapped him on the back with her backhand, "You are a greedy kid. Do you want to eat dragon meat? Do I have to find dragon meat for you?"

The green vegetables in that field are not even two fingers long, and you just think about Huo Huoguang and eat up all the seedlings. Are you going to drink the northwest wind in the future?"

"Grandma, it's just a bowl of spinach. Does my father know that you are so stingy?"

"Hey!" Grandma Cui pretended to hit her again, but Mr. Cui quickly jumped away.

Grandma Cui said funny and angrily: "You know what? You will eat the seeds this year and the eggs next year, do you understand? Those vegetables are eaten before they have grown up. We are such a big family, and we are not allowed to eat half of my land for one meal? How many days can we eat?"

The vegetables in my private plot are no longer white."

"Then when can we eat it?"

"When the spinach grows to two palms long, the cabbage should be cored." Grandma Cui angrily gave a deadline. She lied to Yu Qing that he could eat it, but she just wanted to sell it for two more dollars.

Cui Xiaozi smacked his lips. Tsk, I don’t know how long we have to wait!

A bowl of spinach, which can be eaten all year round in future generations, may be an extremely small thing.

But in this era where off-season planting in greenhouses has not yet become popular, it is extremely precious.

Rare things are more valuable, and this applies to all eras.

Yu Qing didn't know what happened to the Cui family after she left. It was already eleven o'clock when she returned home with a basket of vegetables.

The power station got off work at twelve o'clock in the morning. In order to prevent everyone from waiting for food, Yu Qing put down the basket and took a drink of water. Without having time to rest, she washed the iron tripod pot she bought last time from the small kitchen several times and prepared to cook.

Several children in Sister Pan's family go to school with their grandparents in the city, and today they are the only ones here.

Sister Lu's family has a larger population. Except for the eldest who goes to school in the city, the two younger ones also came to the power station. There are four of them coming to eat.

Coupled with a few single colleagues who were close to her, she had to cook for eleven people.

When Yu Qing was washing rice, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't be in such a hurry to treat guests. She should try cooking rice in an iron tripod pot a few more times before treating guests.

This is the first time she uses this primitive method to cook it. Is it really possible to cook it well?
