Chapter 46: Save money to buy tea

Pickled radish is vegetarian, sweet and sour, and tastes great. Even boiled radish is delicious when eaten with it.

Lu Yuan felt sorry for himself for letting his father eat so well.

This radish tastes just great.

The unpleasant smell of radish can actually become so sweet, and the taste is so delicious.

The meat is delicious too.

However, Lu Yuan could tell from what he ate that meat did not replenish as much energy as radish.

So he acted very friendly and gave all the big pieces of meat to Xu Qiuyue.

No waste.

Perhaps because the food was so delicious, Lu Yuan noticed the resentful look in Lu's mother's eyes.

"Mother, I know you and father have worked hard. Eating only radishes will not fill you up. I won't eat white rice. Please eat more white rice and don't waste it."

Father Lu got up and went to get the food.

I ate two full bowls of rice with soup.

Lu Yuan did not see any reluctance on Lu Changqing's face.

On the contrary, Lu Changqing had an expression of great enjoyment.

If it weren't for Lu's mother's ferocious expression, Lu Yuan would almost think that the soup he cooked was delicious.

He doesn't even want to taste the taste of boiled radish.

So he didn't taste his soup.

Lu Changqing was very happy.

Although the food was poor, I was very happy.

Lu Yuan did not waste any money during this meal.

Lu Yuan ate all the white radishes.

There were two dishes on the table, one was boiled radish in water and the other was boiled radish with meat.

It had been many years since he had eaten such a simple home-cooked meal.

He hates waste.

The meat in Lu Yuan's meal today was all worthless pig bones.

Compared to what Lu Yuan had eaten before, this meal was considered very shabby.

Lu Yuan has undergone such a big change, so it doesn’t matter if he eats a little bit less.

Lu Yuan can endure hardships, so what's the big deal for him to endure these?

Moreover, boiled radish and soaked white rice are delicious.

If Lu Yuan ate a lot of meat and fish, his father might not agree with him, but in his father's opinion, Lu Yuan's food was also poor, so he was willing to cooperate.

Lu Changqing deliberately ate more because he didn't want his mother Lu to eat it too.

It just so happened that the peach blossom pastry he brought back from outside could be given to Mother Lu to eat in the evening.

Under normal circumstances, Mother Lu might have gotten tired of these snacks.

Lu Yuan was afraid that his father might not be able to help himself and drink the remaining radish soup. Then he would realize how delicious the radish soup was and the extraordinary nature of the ingredients and would lose his temper again.

So he ate it all without leaving any soup residue.

Only a pile of bones was left.

I haven't eaten, so the soup in my stomach is easy to digest.

After returning, you can have some snacks.

He actually wanted to drink osmanthus tea.

But Xu Qiuyue said that his five hundred taels of gold were not enough and he could not afford the drink.

One cup costs ten thousand taels of gold.

And we don’t accept gold notes, only gold.

It’s just that expensive.

Lu Yuan thought again of the cup of osmanthus tea that Xu Qiuyue had poured out, and said it was poisonous and asked him to spit it out.

Fortunately, he didn't vomit.

When he has collected 10,000 taels of gold, he will definitely have a sip of it.

Lu Yuan had plenty of gold notes in his hands.

But ten thousand taels of gold are not enough.

He was really selling the shop and he didn't lie to Father Lu. But he was trying to collect money to buy osmanthus tea.

The effect of osmanthus tea is not inferior to that of Xiantian Pill.

He also has to wait for Xiantian Dan in the black market.

He has gained a lot of knowledge these days.

The largest black market in Sheng Country is here, so the quality of the things here is so good.

There was another reason why Lu Yuan stayed in Taohua Town and didn't go out. He wanted to get good stuff on the black market.

He was really stupid before. He traveled all over the country, but he didn't even notice the best market was right under his nose.

But Xu Qiuyue was pretty nice to him and gave him pickled radishes and radish cakes in the evening.

It is said that a boss she had worked with for a long time had a bumper harvest of radishes, and after this period there will be no more radishes to eat.

This radish cake tastes pretty good when made into a dessert.

Reading some books and eating some cakes in the evening is a pretty leisurely life.

Compared to before, Lu Yuan had a different feeling.

Lu Yuan now prefers to stay in Xu Qiuyue's yard and read books.

Because there were so many delicious foods in Xu Qiuyue's yard, Xu Qiuyue couldn't go there secretly to eat delicious food behind his back.

As for osmanthus tea, it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.

But Xu Qiuyue was still very generous with other foods. She was worthy of the five hundred taels of gold and was willing to let him eat most of the snacks.

However, Xu Qiuyue would not take the initiative to give it to him, so if he didn’t see it, he would miss it.

Xu Qiuyue really knows how to eat.

In the hot summer, this smoothie is sweet, fragrant and cool. It is so comfortable to take a bite of it.

Most people can't make this. Xu Qiuyue used her internal energy to freeze this delicacy. If one has such profound internal energy, no warrior would be willing to be a cook.

Lu Yuan could feel that the ice made from the sentinel stone was far less delicious than the ice made with internal force.

However, the thousand-year-old black ice from the snow-capped mountains is all supplied to the royal family.

It is something that money cannot buy.

Another problem is the high cost.

···········
late at night.

Father Lu took out a bag of peach blossom cakes from his sleeve and handed it to Mother Lu.

"That radish really doesn't taste good. Eat this instead. Don't worry, I won't let you live a hard life with me. I will buy some cakes from the shops in town and bring them back for you every day when I come back.

I will give you all my future monthly salary. If you are hungry, go out and order some food. Don’t starve yourself.”

"Husband, you are so kind to me."

"Try it quickly to see if this peach blossom pastry is sweet."

"Very sweet."

Mother Lu hasn't felt this way for many years.

She was somewhat touched.

Originally, she wanted to talk to Lu Yuan and ask him not to treat Father Lu like that.

Now I think this is not a bad idea.

"Changqing, let's go out to eat together from now on. Yuan'er has been staying in the mansion for a long time and doesn't go out all day. I'm afraid he won't stay there for a long time. If it really doesn't work, let's stay in the government office for a while. There is a kitchen in the government office. I'll bring a cook over to make some delicious food for us."

"Rong'er, for Yuan'er, no matter how much you pay, it's worth it.

I know his character very well. He is studying so honestly just to compete with me.

If I don't come back, he will find it boring and will soon return to his old ways.

I want to see who will give up first, him or me.

As long as he doesn't waste money and doesn't do evil, I can tolerate whatever he does."

"You! I don't understand what you're thinking. Can't you just watch Yuan'er eat something good? You have to scold him every day. It's obvious that Yuan'er is soft-hearted and doesn't take any hardship. Look at Qiuyue, how well she coaxes him!"

Mother Lu said to Father Lu somewhat helplessly that she actually didn't quite understand.

Other families went through this as well.

But Lu Changqing refused to give in.

Lu Yuan was actually quite smart when he was a child.

Although he is not stupid now, his mind is not on the right track.
