  It is hot in summer, and there are very few vegetables in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. On the contrary, after the weather gets colder, there are more and more vegetables of all kinds.

  At this time, green vegetables are extremely cheap. If you go to the countryside to buy them yourself, just give a few copper dollars, and the farmers are willing to sell all the vegetables in the field.

  Tofu is similarly cheap. In the countryside here, every household with land will grow soybeans.

  When the soybeans are still green, they can be cooked and eaten together with the pods. When the soybeans are old, they can be exchanged for tofu.

  If it is softened by soaking in water, add some cheapest pork skin and minced pork on the meat stand and cook it in a large pot. The whole family can happily eat meat once and have a round belly.

  Every family grows soybeans, so the price of soybeans will naturally not go up, and a handful of soybeans can make a lot of tofu, so the price of tofu is not expensive.

  But lard and pork liver are not cheap, but there are not many of these two in the dish, so adding a little is purely to supplement nutrition for the children.

  Mu Qiong has always felt that nutrition is very important, and Zhu Wanwan is influenced by him and also attaches great importance to these, so that the children eat well.

  The classmates brought by Zheng Weixin were surprised when they saw this scene: "The children in this orphanage eat really well."

  "It looks clean here."

  "Much better than I imagined."

  ...

  The orphanage in front of me is much better than the orphanage written by Mu Qiong in "Wandering".

  Of course, they were all rich people, so they weren't jealous, they just felt a little emotional, and then looked at these children curiously.

  Many of the students who came with Zheng Weixin are medical students. One of them saw a four or five-year-old child filling a large bowl of rice for himself, and couldn't help but ask: "Little friend, why did you fill so much rice?" Meal? Have you finished eating?" Such a small child eats so much, I am afraid that his stomach will be overwhelmed!

  The child hugged the bowl that was much bigger than his head, looked at them warily, then buried his head in eating, and finally ate up the meal that even adults might not be able to finish.

  Zheng Weixin and the people he brought were dumbfounded.

  Aunt Hong and Qi Xiufen had finished sharing the food, they also filled the food and sat down among the children to eat.

  They ate the same as the children, except that the food and rice were not put in the same bowl, but served separately.

  The college student who was worried that the child would not finish eating ran over, and said to Aunt Hong: "Auntie, some children eat too much, and their bodies will not be able to bear it."

  "It's impossible," Aunt Hong said. "Generally, the children who eat a lot are those who just arrived. When they get hungry, they try their best to stuff their stomachs with food. But it will be fine after a while." ."

  Zheng Weixin and the others were stunned, and it was only at this time that they clearly realized that these children were orphans.

  After Aunt Hong finished speaking, she started eating again. At this time, those children had already gone to the well to fetch water and started washing their own dishes.
