After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields - Chapter 608

Chapter 608 One-day trip

Chewing the last bit of dry food made by Li, Qin Yao and Liu Ji sighed in rare tacit understanding as they looked at the table full of Yuzhou dishes that were both useless and expensive.

 If you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t have enough energy.

 If you have no strength, you will have no energy.

 If you don’t feel energetic, you don’t want to go anywhere.

The family of seven resolutely rejected Zhou Meng’s various travel suggestions. After sending him away, the men and women were divided into two groups and returned to their respective guest rooms with Qin Yao and Liu Ji. They lay down and stopped moving.

The uniform and feeble look seemed like a collective depression.

 It’s obvious that I’ve only been out for three days!

I still remember how happy and full of longing the family looked when we set out three days ago. It was so lively and full of vigor.

 “Can’t do this anymore!”

Liu Ji suddenly sat up from the bed with a sudden jerk, making the three brothers beside him tremble in fright. He looked nervously at his father. Could it be that he was driven crazy by the unpalatable food?

Dalang’s eyes were full of worry, “Dad?”

Liu Ji waved his hand, “It’s time to wake up. Let’s go shopping with dad on the street. Your mother has lost her appetite these days and looks like she’s losing weight from hunger.”

 The point is, his own stomach can’t bear it. If he doesn’t eat a decent meal, how will he have the energy to go to Beijing?

 He also wanted to see the teacher one last time!

As he spoke, Liu Ji didn’t care what the three children’s reactions were, and kicked them out of bed, “Put on your shoes, let’s hurry up, maybe we can have a full dinner today.”

Dalang Erlang Sanlang nodded in confusion, quickly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and followed the hot-tempered father out of the inn.

When they got to the street, the three brothers realized what they were doing. Erlang looked at his own father in surprise, who was bargaining with the peasant woman until she burst into tears, “Are you hungry and thin?”

Liu Ji picked up wild vegetables without looking back, “I haven’t eaten for a few days, but I’ve lost weight because of hunger. My face has become smaller.”

Dalang’s mouth twitched slightly, “It’s because he’s tanned. He looks smaller.”

 Does he remember that when Grandma just rolled up her sleeves to have lunch, her arms were full of tendon meat, and she could kill a tiger with one fist. Where did she lose weight?

Liu Ji turned back angrily and glared at the three boys, “You are the only ones who talk a lot. Take the dishes and go see if there is any fresh meat.”

It’s best to buy spareribs. This evil woman in the family has a different appetite than others. Others prefer fat meat, but she likes to eat the thin bones.

The peasant woman handed over the wild vegetables, and each of the brothers took a handful, which was just right.

Holding the three bundles of wild vegetables that their father bought for ten cents, the three brothers followed behind. Looking at Liu Ji who was actively searching for ribs, they were infected by his spirit. They looked at each other and laughed.

The main city of Yuzhou is so big. There is a long street just selling vegetables, and you can walk there for more than half an hour.

The four father and son bought ribs and went to the grocery store to buy a lot of spices. There were many merchants here, and the items were all available, and the prices were much cheaper than those in Zijin Mansion.

Liu Ji was holding a chicken in his left hand and two lean ribs in his right hand. He looked back at the wild vegetables and spices held by his three sons, calculating the difference in price in his mind, and was surprised.

 The things he just bought cost 128 Wen less than those in Kaiyang County.

The old father immediately showed a wicked smile and turned back to discuss with his three sons, “If your mother-in-law asks, just tell me that these things cost two taels of silver, do you understand?”

Erlang’s mind was quick, and he instantly realized the little Jiujiu in his father’s heart. He smiled wickedly like father and son, “The sealing fee is ten cents.” Liu Ji readily agreed: “Deal!”

Saburo chuckled. With ten coins, you can buy two large bunches of candied haws.

Dalang helplessly glared at his two younger brothers and reminded him seriously: “Auntie is not stupid. You only need to ask the locals to find out the price difference. Dad, it’s better not to take the risk. For one hundred and twenty-eight yuan Not worth the money.”

 Liu Ji was surprised, “How did you know it was 128 articles?”

 The three boys said in unison: “Forget it. It’s so obvious. Isn’t it difficult to calculate? Dad?”

 Liu Ji choked. All the children looked like him. It was not good to be too smart.

But he worked so hard to do the shopping, and he also had to cook a delicious meal himself, so charging the evil woman a little 128 cents is not too much, right?

A sumptuous dinner was served on the table, and the family of seven finally had a comfortable meal of hot soup and rice. Qin Yao finished five bowls of rice in a row, contentedly leaning back on the chair and squinting to eat.

She didn’t ask how much the food cost, and Liu Ji didn’t take the initiative to explain it. The couple knew it well and acquiesced to this approach.

After all, for Qin Yao now, the emotional value of the meal Liu Ji provided tonight is more than 128 Wen.

 Besides

“Liu Ji, you should cook our dinner next. You have to have a hot bite every day to feel comfortable, don’t you think?”

Qin Yao spoke in a lazy tone, squinting her eyes and looking over with a smile. How could Liu Ji dare to say no? She responded with a meek smile, “As long as you are satisfied with your meal, I will cook three meals a day.” No regrets!”

Qin Yao stretched out her finger and tapped him in the air with satisfaction, “You performed very well today, I’m very satisfied.”

Liu Ji, who knew he had deducted money, tried his best to smile.

With Liu Ji cooking, Qin Yao’s abused stomach was greatly comforted. Early the next morning, after having a delicious breakfast, she happily led her apprentice and children out to play.

Liu Ji was the last one to go out. As a habit, he filled his mother’s water bottles with cold water and put them into a cloth bag. He also put in a box of meatloaf that he had just made this morning. After finishing preparations, he locked the guest room door and caught up. The footsteps of these girls.

Yin Le was a discerning man. He noticed the heavy cloth bag on his master’s shoulder and hurried back to help take away his kettle.

 Liu Ji’s mouth twitched fiercely, thinking to himself, do I miss your kettle?

Forget it, don’t be as knowledgeable as this ignorant girl, so as not to provoke her protective master and make yourself unhappy.

 Overall, today’s one-day trip to Chongqing was quite satisfactory.

The children watched juggling that they had never seen before, visited the largest grocery store here, and saw many strange objects from all over the world. Each of them also bought a small gadget that did not take up much space, and they brought their own food for lunch. Yesterday’s negative mood was greatly compensated by the food.

　　From mid-morning to early evening when the sun turned west, I finally made a circle around the main city of Yuzhou. Although it was just a quick tour, it still counts as a visit.

When the family happily returned to the inn, they passed by the reward notice wall in the main city of Yuzhou, where many missing persons notices were newly posted.

 Qin Yao glanced casually and saw that there were many people looking for lost livestock. As long as they provided clues, they could receive rewards ranging from 200 to 50 taels.

She suddenly thought that if she went to the capital, she might be able to earn a lot of pocket money from these rewards.

 “Aniang!” Si Niang, who was riding on Liu Ji’s shoulder, suddenly pointed at the reward notice wall and asked curiously: “What is selling someone for a little while?”
