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, no matter how low-key they could be.

Even if he secretly took the pot home, he still couldn't hide it when it came time to cook.

After all, the aroma of cooking was far different from the smell of steaming, and he couldn't block the kitchen to prevent the smell from coming out.

So he simply took the blame back openly and openly.

This time, it naturally caused a small sensation in the village.

This is an iron pot. For the people in their village, it can be 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 back such a big iron pot, 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.

However, this also convinced everyone that the old doctor really regarded Lu Qing as a disciple, and he still valued him very much.

Otherwise, why would 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 precious thing to his disciples?

Unless the master really loves that disciple very much.

Especially after seeing that the iron pot was already boiling, everyone became even more convinced of their guess.

Recalling the crowd of villagers watching, Lu Qing felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to temporarily leave the silver with Old Doctor Chen, and he just took two broken pieces of silver and brought them back.

Otherwise, such a large bag of silver will definitely not escape everyone's eyes.

If a meddlesome person gets 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.

In a happy mood, Lu Qing quickly prepared two dishes and one soup.

A fried fish, a fish soup, and a stir-fried green vegetable.

Although limited to seasonings, these three dishes still appear 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 great 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 was particularly delicious for the brother and sister.

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, from now on we will all use big iron pots to cook, right?

good.

Lu Qing nodded without hesitation.

Isn't that 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's also good to try other dishes occasionally.

After finishing the meal, Lu Qing read for a while.

When it got a little dark, I put the book away.

He moved the old deck chair out of the yard, lay on it, and looked at the sunset in the distance.

It looks like he is lost in thought, but he is actually thinking.

He was thinking about what Brother Daan said before about Daji.

After his squandering tonight, the oil at home was really running low and had to be replenished.

There are also some things that he can't easily ask the old doctor to help him buy, and he also wants to buy them.

In addition, it was time to return the things I had borrowed from the villagers.

So it was imperative for him to do this big episode.

Then let's go tomorrow. Brother Da'an said there are some rules to abide by when going to the market, so I can go ask him tomorrow.

Lu Qing made a decision quickly.

Brother, will the little beast come to our house again 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 was very curious about the little beast his brother was talking about, and wanted to know what it looked like.

Okay, but if it's too late and it doesn't come, you have to sleep well. Lu Qing said.

Okay~

Xiaoyan immediately decided that she would cheer up tonight and wait until the little beast arrived.

It's a pity that children's willpower is still a little bit behind.

Xiaoyan, who has always been used to going to bed early, her eyelids started 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?

Holding 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.

No longer the vigilant look before.

He didn't even know if it was Lu Qing's illusion, but he seemed to see a look of anticipation in the little thing's eyes after seeing him come out.

Is this guy really a sperm?

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.

Okay, although I'm a little cautious, it's just a little bit.

Lu Qing laughed a little when he saw the little black beast starting to run back and forth like he did 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 doesn't have 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 the little thing digested it. Although it didn’t look big, its appetite was a bit surprising.

Two or three kilograms of fish were eaten casually, and the 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 we come, 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 and must wait until the little beast comes! the little guy said seriously.

Okay, come on. Lu Qing said without caring at all.

He was now sure that the green turtle stone was indeed magical.

With it, Xiaoyan couldn't stay up late 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, would you like to go to Grandpa Zhang's house to play today? My brother has something to do.

Where are you going, brother?

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.
