Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 62 Visiting the Teacher

"I saw that you went home to work. Is everything going well?"

Ms. Li was still somewhat worried about Xia Shiyu, as she remembered that Xia Shiyu had always had good grades.

According to current parents' expectations, they would definitely hope that their children would have a job outside, so she is still a little worried.

Xia Shiyu said, "It's alright, Teacher Li. I'm quite comfortable farming now. My work isn't as stressful as before, and my income is still decent. Don't worry."

"That's good, that's good." Teacher Li nodded with relief.

The two chatted for a while longer, about an hour, before Xia Shiyu checked the time and said she had to go back.

Teacher Li tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Why don't you stay for lunch before you leave?"

Xia Shiyu explained, "No need, teacher, I'll come again next time. My lettuce is ready and I need to talk to other vendors when I get back."

"By the way, Teacher Li, remember to eat the dishes I gave you as soon as possible, otherwise they won't be fresh. If you can't finish them, you can give them to your family and friends."

Teacher Li nodded, "Don't worry, I won't waste this kind gesture from you."

Finally, Xia Shiyu left, and Teacher Li saw him off a few steps to the door before turning back.

Chen Yi watched as people came out and started chatting with her mother.

"Mom, I'll cook some of the vegetables that student brought over for lunch today. They look quite fresh."

Teacher Li nodded, "Okay, just do it."

Chen Yi prepared the vegetables to cook. Because she is the child of teachers, and both her parents are teachers, their students often come to their house.

However, they usually send milk or health supplements, and it's rare to receive vegetables.

However, Chen Yi was quite satisfied with the dishes that had been delivered to her. These days, it's not easy to find farm-style dishes, and it was a token of appreciation that the person had gone to the trouble of delivering them.

She washed the vegetables carefully and then cooked them in the pan.

School was closed at noon, so Chen's father came home.

He put the textbook aside, went to the table, and when he went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes, he saw a large pile of fresh vegetables on the ground next to him.

"Why are there so many vegetables here? Did someone deliver them?"

"Oh, that was delivered by one of Mom's students."

"Oh, I see."

After putting the food on the table, Chen Yi urged her parents to eat, "Mom and Dad, hurry up and eat, you have classes this afternoon."

"well"

After Chen Yi finished speaking, she sat down herself. When she saw the lettuce delivered today, she immediately thought of the oyster sauce lettuce she had eaten before. She thought it tasted very good, so she tried it according to the online tutorial. The result looked pretty good.

Even the lettuce looks as vibrant as the filtered images of vegetables online.

So she picked up a piece of lettuce with great anticipation, but after a few seconds she fell silent.

Teacher Li looked at her curiously. She hadn't eaten any vegetables while drinking porridge, and she found it a bit strange to see her daughter like this.

"What's wrong? Is the food not good?"

Chen Yi shook her head, her expression serious. "No, it's just too delicious. Mom, I suspect I'm already a master chef."

Mr. Chen frowned. "Xiao Yi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Yi put a piece of lettuce in each of her parents' bowls, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can try it. You'll definitely praise me this time."

The two looked at the lettuce in the bowl with some skepticism, then took a bite. The crispness and saltiness were just right.

The two exchanged a shocked glance. "Has Xiaoyi's cooking improved so much?!"

"Hmph, what are you talking about?" Chen Yi said, somewhat displeased.

The two shook their heads. Putting everything else aside, at least the dish was indeed delicious.

The two sped up, and Chen Yi, seeing this, also started grabbing at the lettuce. Soon, the large plate of lettuce was completely consumed.

Mr. Chen stopped eating with some regret and went to pick up other dishes.

This one bite and everything changed! The water spinach is so delicious! The tomato and egg soup is so tasty! And the stir-fried lean meat is... a little salty?

Hmm? He was a little skeptical. After trying a few dishes, he found that only a few vegetarian dishes were truly delicious.

"Xiaoyi, this meat dish isn't as good as the other dishes."

"Really? Then I'll try it." Chen Yi was wondering how her cooking skills had suddenly improved so much, but after taking a bite of the meat she had cooked, she fell silent.

Teacher Li also picked up a piece of meat, took a couple of bites, and realized that this was her daughter's usual level. She looked at the dishes on the table, and almost all of them were brought by Xia Shiyu.

She smiled and said, "Xiaoyi, I've realized it's not a problem with your cooking skills, it's a problem with the dishes. The dishes Shiyu brought today did look quite good."

Chen Yi sighed, feigning regret, "As expected, I'm not that gifted."

This remark elicited laughter from the dinner table.

Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "Wife, the vegetables your student grows are pretty good. I didn't expect them to taste so good."

"Right, when I first saw her posts on WeChat Moments, I was a little worried that she might be having trouble at work. But it seems she's really capable. I could tell she was a capable person from the time I started taking care of her."

Chen Yi nodded frantically beside her, "Yes, the vegetables this student grew are so delicious! No wonder he's a student you taught, Mom."

Teacher Li shook her head. "You little rascal, but the food is really delicious. There are no leftovers today. But we can't finish all of this. We'll send some to your brother's place later."

"Okay," Chen Yi nodded. Her brother got married and had his own room; he didn't live with them.

After taking a couple of bites, Mr. Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "This dish is really delicious. If the cafeteria could serve food this good, the students would be so happy."

Teacher Li nodded in agreement. "That's true."

Chen Yi quickly dissuaded her parents from their idea, "Forget it, Dad. If this food is this delicious, it must be expensive. Besides, you're not the head of logistics. If the cost of buying the food goes up, the students might not pay for it, and they might even report us to the education bureau."

Mr. Chen sighed, "That's the solution too. Let's just forget about it and keep this food for ourselves."

Innovation is quite difficult in the workplace, and he's getting older, so it's best for him not to get involved in such things.

"Yes, I should just focus on teaching. The children are living in pretty good conditions now, and the food in the cafeteria is sometimes quite good."

The family murmured "Mmm," and then quickly moved on to the next topic.

After her parents went to work in the afternoon, Chen Yi drove and delivered some of the groceries to her brother's house.

"Sister-in-law, this is because Mom's former students brought too much food today. We were afraid of wasting it, so we brought you some. We cooked it for lunch and it was delicious. You must have some."

My sister-in-law glanced at it and happily took it, saying, "Great, great, this dish looks very good to me. Thank you!"

"Okay, then I'll be leaving now." Chen Yi waved and left.
