Chapter 32 Cooking and planning
Lu family, in the kitchen.
Lu Qing was lighting a fire, and a brand new iron pot was placed on the stove.
Lu Qing originally planned to carry this iron pot home in a low-key manner when it got dark.
But then he thought about it, they were all from the same village, how could they keep a low profile no matter how low-key they were.
Even if he secretly took the pot home, he still couldn't hide it when it was time to cook.
After all, the aroma of cooking is far different from the smell of steaming, and he can't block the kitchen to prevent the smell from coming out.
So he simply took the blame back openly and openly.
This naturally caused a small sensation in the village.
This is an iron pot. For the people in the village, it is completely regarded as a luxury product.
Even now, there are still some families in the village who cannot afford an iron pot.
Lu Qing actually carried such a big iron pot on his back, how could he not attract everyone's attention.
In response, Lu Qing directly claimed that the iron pot was given to him by Dr. Chen, which made the villagers jealous.
At the same time, I was stunned by the old doctor's generosity.
An iron pot is worth several taels of silver. The old doctor actually gave it away as soon as he said it would be given. He was really kind to Lu Qing.
But this also convinced everyone that the old doctor really regarded Lu Qing as a disciple, and he still valued him very much.
Otherwise, how could he give such a large iron pot to Lu Qing.
I have only ever heard that disciples should be filial to their masters. How could a master give such a valuable thing to his disciples?
Unless the master really loves the disciple very much.
Especially after seeing that the iron pot was already boiling, everyone became more convinced of their guess.
Recalling the crowds of villagers, Lu Qing felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to temporarily leave the silver with Old Doctor Chen. He just took two pieces of broken silver and brought them back.
Otherwise, such a large bag of silver would definitely not be able to escape everyone's eyes.
If a meddlesome person is curious and opens the bag while he is not paying attention, it will be troublesome.
The fire started, and soon the pot began to smoke.
Lu Qing took the oil vat and scooped out a large spoonful of lard.
Watching the lard melting in the pot, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.
Now that he has money, he no longer has to dig around to save fuel.
Every time he cooked before, he had to think about how to use the least amount of oil to make delicious dishes. It was really difficult for him.
With a happy mood, Lu Qing quickly prepared two dishes and one soup.
One fried fish, one fish soup, and one fried green vegetable.
Although limited to seasonings, these three dishes are still simple.
But when Lu Qing took his first bite of stir-fried vegetables, he was still so moved that he wanted to cry.
It’s not easy. This taste is what he has dreamed of for a long time.
"Brother, the food made in the big iron pot is delicious!"
On the other side, Xiaoyan also enjoyed eating.
Even though she usually doesn't like eating vegetables, she feels that vegetables are particularly delicious now.
"Of course, this big iron pot is a sharp tool for cooking. Otherwise, why would my brother keep thinking about having a big iron pot?"
"The big iron pot is really good~"
This meal, the brother and sister ate particularly sweetly.
All the food was eaten, not even the soup was left.
After eating, Xiaoyan touched her slightly bulging belly with a satisfied look on her face.
“Brother, shall we all use big iron pots to cook from now on?”
That's why he insisted on buying an iron pot.
But you don’t have to eat stir-fried vegetables for every meal. No matter how delicious the food is, you will still get tired of it after a long time.
It is also good to try other dishes occasionally.
After finishing the meal, Lu Qing read for a while.
When it gets a little dark, I put the book away.
He moved the old deck chair out of the yard, sat on it, and looked at the sunset on the horizon in the distance.
It looks like he is lost in thought, but he is actually thinking.
He was thinking about what Brother Da An had said before about Daji.
After his squandering tonight, there is really very little oil left at home and must be replenished.
There are also some things that he would not like to ask the old doctor to help him buy, and he also wants to buy them.
In addition to the things I borrowed from the villagers before, it is also time to pay them back.
Hence this big collection, it is imperative for him to do it.
"Then let's go tomorrow. Brother Da'an said that there are some rules to abide by when going to Daji, so I can go and ask him tomorrow."
Lu Qing made a decision quickly.
"Brother, will the little beast come to our house tonight?"
At this time, Xiaoyan suddenly asked.
“It should come.” Lu Qing was not sure either.
"Then Xiaoyan will wait for it to come tonight."
The little guy is very curious about the little beast that his brother mentioned, and wants to know what it looks like.
"That's okay, but if it doesn't come after it's late, you have to sleep well." Lu Qing said.
Xiaoyan immediately decided that she would brace herself for tonight and must wait until the little beast arrived.
It is a pity that the willpower of children is still a little bit behind.
Xiaoyan, who has always been used to going to bed early, her eyelids began to feel heavy as soon as it was one o'clock.
Coupled with the presence of the green turtle stone, in the end, although the little guy persisted for a while, he fell asleep not long after.
Not long after Xiaoyan fell asleep, Lu Qing heard the familiar sound of scratching at the door coming from outside.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Could this little thing really wait for Xiaoyan to fall asleep before appearing?
With the fish prepared in advance, Lu Qing opened the door.
Sure enough, I saw the figure of the little black beast.
This time, the little thing still retreated to the middle of the yard, but his appearance was obviously much more relaxed.
It is no longer the vigilant look before.
He didn't even know if it was Lu Qing's illusion. He seemed to see a look of expectation in the little thing's eyes after seeing him come out.
Could it be that this guy is really a spirit?
Lu Qing muttered in his heart, put the fish on the ground, and then stepped back.
As soon as he retreated to the door, the little black beast immediately stepped forward, picked up a fish and ran away.
Alright, although I am a little cautious, it is only a little bit.
Lu Qing laughed a little when he saw the little black beast starting to eat one and run back and forth like last night.
He didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, closed the door, yawned, and walked to the room.
He has a lot of things to do tomorrow, but he has no time to play with this little thing.
A night of silence.
When Lu Qing got up early the next morning, he saw that the wooden basin was empty again.
I don’t know how that little thing is digested. Although it doesn’t look big, its appetite is a bit surprising.
I finished two or three kilograms of fish casually, and my appetite was larger than that of an adult.
"Brother, did the little beast come last night?"
Xiaoyan also woke up and ran out of the room immediately and asked.
"Here, look, all the fish in the basin have been eaten."
Lu Qing pointed at the wooden basin.
"Ah! Brother, why don't you wake up Xiaoyan!" The little guy was very annoyed.
"I told you, if you fall asleep, I won't call you."
"Brother, Xiaoyan has decided not to sleep tonight, she must wait until the little beast comes!" The little guy said seriously.
"Okay, come on." Lu Qing said without caring at all.
He is now sure that the green turtle stone is indeed magical.
With it, Xiaoyan couldn't stay up all night even if she wanted to.
Once one o'clock comes, your eyes will definitely feel sleepy and you will sleep obediently.
It really saved him a lot of trouble.
"Xiaoyan, why don't you go to Grandpa Zhang's house today? Brother needs to go out for something."
"Where is brother going?"
"You will know when brother comes back."
After asking Uncle Zhang to look after Xiaoyan next door, Lu Qing took a piece of silver and walked to Wang Daan's house.
