Chapter 35 Nourishing Ginseng
Mrs. Shen hadn't expected her sister-in-law to betray her with just a few words. She paused, then retorted irritably, "Why are you asking me!"
"I spent the whole afternoon working hard for him, and all he gave me were two pieces of pig intestines, and he still thinks he's right."
"The eldest daughter should go and make a scene with him."
Old Man Shen glanced at his mother with a gloomy expression. He hadn't expected that even in this situation, his mother would still be as clueless as before.
"The family has already split up, what's all the fuss about!"
"Eldest daughter, don't listen to your mother, hurry up and cook!"
When Mrs. Shen saw that Old Man Shen was stopping her from going, she pouted and retorted, "Why should I cook? I won't." After saying that, she stormed into the house.
Seeing his wife angry, Brother Shen immediately became anxious and complained to Old Man Shen, "Dad, what are you doing!"
"What are you arguing with my wife about when the second son's family caused this trouble?" With that, he threw the hoe on the ground and ran away.
Enraged, Shen's mother pointed at Shen's eldest son and began to mutter, "Look at him, look at how spineless he is. He only has one wife, and he won't find another one after she's gone."
Old Man Shen glanced at her irritably and said sarcastically, "Isn't it all because you spoiled her?"
Shen's mother rolled her eyes in anger, but dared not refute.
Seeing that she still wouldn't change even after all this, Old Man Shen could only helplessly advise her again, "From now on, stop trying to sow discord between the eldest and second son's families."
"The second son's family is different from the eldest son's family. They have brains and are not easily fooled." After saying that, he ignored her and went into the house.
Mother Shen rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, thinking to herself, "So what if she has a brain? She's still no match for my eldest daughter-in-law."
Xu Qinghe was completely unaware of Shen's mother's scheming.
At this moment, she was completely absorbed in Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan's praises and couldn't extricate herself.
"Auntie, your ribs smell so good! When can we eat them?" Shen Chengyue kept swallowing as he looked into the pot.
Shen Chengchuan drooled, and while tugging at Xu Qinghe's clothes, he said impatiently, "It smells so good, so good, I want to eat."
Even Xiao Hei resisted Shen Chengchuan's pressure, sitting by the stove, sticking out his tongue and drooling.
Xu Qinghe looked at the two people and the dog in front of her and smiled helplessly, "It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Zhi strode in from outside. Looking at the group of people gathered around the stove, he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Shen Chengyue immediately turned around and explained, "The ribs Auntie made smelled so good."
Shen Zhi immediately became interested upon hearing this, because everyone in the village had bought meat today, and the aroma of meat wafted from almost every household on the way back. He was already starving.
Hearing Shen Chengyue say this, he immediately came over, stood behind Xu Qinghe, and looked into the pot following her hand.
The pot was filled to the brim with stewed pork ribs, vermicelli, and green beans. Shen Zhi, who was already hungry, became even hungrier and couldn't help but urge, "When will it be ready?"
Xu Qinghe was both happy and helpless as several people urged her on, so she could only reply perfunctorily, "It'll be ready soon."
Shen Zhi said, "Then I'll go get a bowl." After saying that, he quickly walked into the house.
A moment later, she brought out a basin and served each of the two children a piece of pork rib. Seeing that they could chew it, she took the basin from Shen Zhi and prepared to serve the vegetables.
Looking at her slender hands, Shen Zhi didn't dare let go at all, and directly supported them on both sides, saying, "I'll do it."
Xu Qinghe glanced at his steady, large hands, but did not refuse. She picked up the spatula and began to scoop the food into the pot.
Just as the ribs were served, Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan finished gnawing on them, threw the bones in front of Xiao Hei, and chased after Shen Zhi into the house.
Xu Qinghe wiped her hands and followed him inside.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Hei tried to rush into the house with Xu Qinghe, but Xu Qinghe gently stopped him with her foot, saying, "Go, go, go, wait outside."
Because they only have one main room now, and all sorts of odds and ends from home are kept in this room.
Xiao Hei was too young, and whenever it went inside, it would either gnaw on this or bite that. It hadn't been dewormed yet, so Xu Qinghe didn't dare let it inside at all, and only allowed it to play outside.
When Xiao Hei saw that Xu Qinghe wouldn't let it in, it immediately wagged its tail pitifully at Xu Qinghe.
Xu Qinghe was so touched by it that she turned around to get it some ribs, but Shen Zhi stopped her.
"Just feed it cornbread; if you feed it too well, it will be harder to raise later."
Xu Qinghe looked at Shen Zhi's serious face, hesitated for a moment, then dipped the steamed bun in the rib soup and threw it out.
At this age, puppies don't have the problem of not being able to eat salt. They are fed whatever leftovers are available at home. Usually, if there are no leftovers, they are fed pig feed.
Xu Qinghe's feeding method is already quite luxurious.
After feeding Xiao Hei, Xu Qinghe sat down and started eating as well.
With just one bite, Xu Qinghe squinted her eyes in satisfaction. It was so delicious! The aroma of green beans, the soft and chewy texture of the glass noodles, and the meaty fragrance of the ribs made Xu Qinghe feel that she could eat two large bowls of rice if she ate freely.
It's a pity that I didn't make rice, but I made flatbread instead. However, the flatbread dipped in the pork rib soup was very delicious.
The family ate in silence, and the large plate of pork ribs stewed with green beans was completely devoured.
Shen Chengyue even half-reclined on the chair, patting his stomach and lazily saying, "It's so delicious. I wish I could eat something this delicious every day."
Shen Zhi glanced at him with a serious expression, thinking to himself, "I hope I won't become fat from eating so much."
Are there any emperors who are very fat?
Upon thinking of this, Shen Zhi immediately became nervous. "I'll go out and practice horse stance for half an hour later."
Shen Chengyue immediately became agitated upon hearing this, "How old am I? You want me to do a horse stance?"
Shen Zhi said calmly, "Starting education at five years old is not too early."
Xu Qinghe pursed her lips in surprise, not daring to make a sound, afraid that Shen Zhi would make her practice archery in the next second.
Just as Xu Qinghe was trying her best to minimize her presence, Shen Zhi's gaze indeed fell on her. "Don't forget to practice your archery. Your accuracy is too poor."
Only four out of ten arrows hit the target, far from what he had expected.
Thinking about the unpleasant experience of last night, Xu Qinghe immediately retorted, "I have something to do later."
Shen Zhi: "I'll do it for you."
Xu Qinghe...
I'm looking for a husband, not a coach.
In the end, the two of them couldn't resist Shen Zhi's insistence, so one practiced horse stance in the courtyard, and the other practiced archery in the courtyard.
Because Shen Chengchuan was too young, he escaped unscathed and happily played in the yard.
Xu Qinghe also entrusted the important task of cultivating ginseng to Shen Zhi.
Because she has to process meat at home tomorrow and won't have time to go to town, she plans to keep it at home for a couple of days until Shen Zhi has time, then they can go together.
Shen Zhi never imagined that the ginseng he dug up could grow again after being reburied, but seeing Xu Qinghe's serious look, he could only resign himself to burying it back and watering it.
