章 17: Feeling Sorry for Brother Monkey

'Forget it. I can't think about it anymore.'

Yan Qixun couldn't help but remind Gongyu Hao, "Second Brother, you should also buy some soybeans tomorrow. There are only turnips, cabbages, green garlic, and spinach on our farm. But we won't even have enough spring garlic and spinach to last us a few days. If we have soybeans, we can grow them into bean sprouts or grind them up to drink."

"What are bean sprouts?" Her mother couldn't understand what she was saying.

"When soybeans are soaked in cold water, they will start to grow in three to five days. They can also be fried, boiled, or be used to make soup. They are considered to be seasonal vegetables during winter. Oh, you can also use red beans and green beans for this."

When she heard this, Gongyu Mingxi said, "There is no need for you to go into the city to buy them. Soybeans are common, so every family in the village will have some. You can exchange one of our pheasants for some soybeans."
