Chapter 43: Chapter 0043: To See or Not to See 3_1 Chapter 43: Chapter 0043: To See or Not to See 3_1 The materials are so good, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, so the things inside are naturally of substantial value. Without exception, they are all jewelry pieces. Some are better than those given by Mrs. Xu, some are not as good, but none of them are cheap. Gold jewelry is scarce, most are jade and gemstones. These are currently the most worthless things on the market, Feng Qingxue chuckled. Gold can be sold to banks, but jade and gemstones are of no interest to anyone. Having carefully stored them away, Feng Qingxue returned home. The sisters’ stomachs were getting better, she specially brought back a piece of mutton with a large bone attached. As soon as she took it out of the basket, it was seen by Feng Qingyun who was about to express her love for the towel. Feng Qingyun was so surprised that she jumped up. “Sister, is this meat? Is it meat? Is it the same meat that father and mother secretly gave to my elder and second brother?” Although she hadn’t eaten it before, she had seen it. The smell when cooked was really good. A pang filled Feng Qingxue’s heart. The meat that the Feng family used to eat was given by Uncle Wang, unfortunately, only the males of the Feng family got to eat it. Not to mention Qingyun, even the original Feng Qingxue couldn’t have a bite. The difference was that Feng Qingxue’s childhood living conditions were much better than those in the famine era. She was able to eat a piece or two of meat on holidays, while Feng Qingyun really never had a chance to eat meat since birth. “Yes, it is meat, it’s mutton.” Feng Qingxue’s voice was soft, “Sister will make mutton soup for you.” Mutton soup is good for the stomach. “Wonderful, wonderful, we’re having meat!” Feng Qingyun’s face lit up with joy, she bounced and jumped around. She didn’t ask a word about where the stuff came from. Feng Qingxue sighed a breath of relief, her biggest fear was her sister relentlessly asking where things came from. The mutton was washed clean and cut into pieces and put in a ceramic pot, filled with enough water. After boiling and skimming off the scum, some slices of ginger, which was also brought back by Feng Qingxue, were added, and the fragrance permeated the whole house. Feng Qingyun was smacking her lips, happily stoking the fire in front of the stove, her eyes fixed on the ceramic pot gleaming with light. Before the mutton was cooked, it started to rain outside. The cool breeze seeped through the doors and windows, penetrating straight into the house. Feng Qingxue chuckled, “Mutton soup is the best for keeping out the cold, Qingyun, eat more mutton later.” When she was young, in her previous life, she often had mutton soup all year round. Feng Qingyun nodded vigorously. After the mutton was cooked, she drank a big bowl of soup and ate several pieces of mutton. The taste was wonderful, even after eating so much she still wasn’t satisfied. Feng Qingxue rarely eats meat at night, she only scooped up a bowl of clear soup, soaking a piece of multigrain bread in it. This was because Feng Qingyun lacked nutrition, otherwise, she would not have made mutton at night. “The leftovers will be eaten tomorrow. It won’t turn bad now because it’s cold.” When Feng Qingxue said this, Feng Qingyun, who was always looking at the pot, reluctantly withdrew her gaze. After dinner, Feng Qingxue had Feng Qingyun walk around the house to digest before going to sleep, otherwise, she wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping after eating so much. “Eat well in the morning, eat plentifully at noon, and eat less at night,” is a principle. In her sleep, Feng Qingyun kept smacking her lips, shouting, “The mutton is delicious!” Feng Qingxue couldn’t fall asleep because of what Uncle Wang had told her. Hearing this talk in her sleep, she couldn’t help but laugh, and feel a little sad. In an era with scarce resources, everyone had a strong desire for food. After tucking Feng Qingyun in, she closed her eyes too. Her eyes were closed, but she isn’t asleep. She was thinking about Lu Jiang, considering if she should meet him.
