I trade in both worlds

"Wow, uncle, there are so many fish." Xu Qiwei said to Xu Jin, pointing at the phone.

"Yeah." Xu Jin nodded, staring at the phone without moving his eyes.

Xu Zhun looked at the lobster and said, "This is a lobster. I want to eat it."

"Yeah, I want to eat." Xu Qiwei echoed: "And Yuyu, I want to eat too."

After watching the video, Xu Zhun said firmly: "When I grow up, I will make money to buy you lobsters and fish."

"Thank you, uncle." Xu Qiwei applauded him with an admiring look on his face.

Xu Zhun waved his hand nonchalantly: "You're welcome, nephew."

Looking at the expressions of the two children, Xu Ziqing laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

Xu Xu didn't go over to watch the video, but was cleaning the table. They didn't spend a penny to eat two meals at other people's expense, so it was their duty to clean up after the meal. She couldn't just walk away after the meal.

Seeing that the bullfrogs and crayfish were contained in a rectangular iron bowl, she poured all the garbage on the table into one bowl and stacked the other bowls aside for easy cleaning later.

Xu Xu had never seen pigs or chickens here, so he knew that they didn't raise any. So he didn't know where to dump the garbage. He looked around but didn't see any swill buckets. He could only ask Xu Ziqing, "Sister Qing, where do you dump all the garbage?"

Xu Ziqing looked at the dining table and saw Xu Xu folding all the disposable lunch boxes aside. He blinked, pointed at the lunch boxes on the table and said, "Put these in the takeout bag. I'll take them out later and throw them away."

"Ah?" Xu Xu looked at the stacked lunch boxes with reluctance: "Should we throw these away even though they can still be used?"

Xu Ziqing walked over and picked up the plastic lunch box and explained, "Yes, these plastics are not resistant to high temperatures, and they are thin and brittle. They will break if you squeeze them with a little force. Even if you are careful, you can't use them more than a few times."

As he spoke, Xu Ziqing picked up the lid of a lunch box containing porridge and folded it hard. With a "bang", the lid broke off.

She raised the broken lid in her hand and said to Xu Xu proudly, "Look, it's broken already, so you'd better throw it away. It's really useless. Besides, this kind of box will be poisonous if you put too hot things in it. It's not good for your health if you eat too much."

"Poisonous?" Xu Xu was shocked: "Why are you pretending to eat it? Then we eat it..."

Seeing her worried look, Xu Ziqing quickly explained: "Don't worry, it's okay to use less, it won't have any effect, but using too much is not good."

Xu Ziqing was too lazy to explain why disposable lunch boxes are toxic, so he just brushed it off.

Hearing that everything was fine, Xu Xu felt relieved a little: "Why are all the things here disposable? You can make them better and not waste so much."

Seeing her painful expression, Xu Ziqing said with a smile: "Well, it is indeed a waste, but this thing is cheap and convenient for us."

Then he pointed to the iron tea tray with crayfish and said, "For something like this, you can wash it and take it home, but the package price for this thing will be 15 yuan extra. Those disposable lunch boxes may only add one or two yuan. It's cheap and convenient. You can just throw it away after eating and don't have to wash it."

Xu Xu couldn't understand why they had to throw away the dishes after eating. Washing two dishes wasn't a difficult task. He picked up the three iron plates with a troubled look on his face and said, "This is made of iron. Since you said it's usable, don't throw it away. I'll wash it and you can keep it for next time."

Xu Ziqing opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain for a moment. This thing is indeed useful, but finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, you can wash it and take it back. We don't need this at home. I always throw it away after eating takeout."

"You're so wasteful, throwing away such a good thing." Xu Xu looked at Xu Ziqing with a painful expression.

Thinking of getting three iron plates for free, Xu Xu smiled happily again and continued to reluctantly put the other lunch boxes into the takeaway bag: "Sister Qing, where should we throw these away? I'll go and throw them away."

Xu Ziqing put away his phone, stood up and said, "I'll take you out to the garbage station at the entrance of the village."

After walking a few steps, he remembered that there were still a group of children here, so he said, "Forget it, give me the garbage, I'll ride my bike back. I have several children at home, I can't just leave them here alone."

Actually, Xu Xu also wanted to go out and take a look, but it was not convenient to go out with a few children, so she agreed: "Okay, but can you tell me where to wash the dishes first? I'll wash this, and I have to clean the table too."

Xu Ziqing put down the garbage and took Xu Xu to the kitchen next to the restaurant: "Hey, this is the kitchen. We cook and wash dishes here."

"Kitchen?" Xu Xu touched the countertop, looked left and right but couldn't find the stove. "Sister Qing, your kitchen doesn't have a stove. Do you guys eat takeout and don't cook at home?"

"Cooking at home." Xu Ziqing paused for a moment before remembering that they used to burn wood. He pointed at the gas stove and said, "This is the stove, called a gas stove, which burns natural gas. We basically don't burn wood anymore."

Xu Xu looked at the gas stove, not understanding how it was burning: "How do you use this?"

Xu Ziqing scratched his head, remembering the bottle he bought for Xu Tiantian in the morning, so he took out a small soup pot from the cupboard under the stove and said to Xu Xu in the sink: "This is the faucet. My water heater is powered by air and solar energy. There is hot water all day long. Look at this switch. The front is hot water and the back is cold water. You can adjust the temperature according to your needs."

Xu Xu had come into contact with this before and knew that water would come out once you turned it. The only difference was that the one upstairs was the size of a palm and embedded in the wall, while the one in the kitchen was much larger and mounted on a basin.

"Where does the water come from?" Xu Xu wanted to know if he could install this at home: "I don't see any well in your house."

"Hmm..." After thinking for a long time, Xu Ziqing didn't know how to explain: "I only know that there are water plants that disinfect water and then transport it to places where water pipes are installed. The water in the water plant may be rivers, lakes, groundwater, or surface water."

"Oh." That means it can't be installed at home.

"This is a dishwashing sponge." Xu Ziqing continued to explain: "This is dishwashing liquid. Press it like this, squeeze a little on the sponge, wash it like this... After washing, rinse it with water, and that's it."

Xu Ziqing washed the soup pot, filled it halfway with water and put it on the stove. He said to Xu Xu, "Xu Xu, look at this valve. It's for natural gas, and this one is for the gas stove. We open the valve on the gas pipe, then press the valve on the gas stove, wait a few seconds, and then turn it to the right."
