Chapter 11 It’s still worth eating
"Ah, oh, no, auntie, I don't catch a cold." Bai Duoxi was embarrassed for a moment and hurriedly explained.

"Oh, that's okay. Drink some ginger soup to get rid of the cold. It's just a precaution."

Bai Duoxi agreed, but still unwilling to give up, she solemnly explained to Bai Tao why she was nervous just now: "Auntie, I wasn't nervous just now."

A grown man, nervous but sincere, said he was not nervous. Bai Tao tilted her head to look at him for two seconds, then nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I got it."

Bai Duoxi couldn't be happy, "Auntie, the reluctance on your face is so obvious. I can't do it even if I want to lie to myself and say that you believe it."

However, he soon put this frustration behind him. Before that, the village chief and others had to wait until his aunt had put the things away before letting them move.

He is the first one who can take things in this way.

Look, many villagers are looking at him with envy.

Feeling the gazes of his fellow villagers, Bai Duoxi was no longer nervous. He was so happy that he couldn't suppress his grin.

The other villagers were indeed very envious of Bai Duoxi. Even Bai Dashan, who had arranged everything and came back to see this scene, stood not far away with a look of envy on his face.

This guy is lucky and got a great bargain!

If I hadn't been busy myself, it would never have been his turn!
After taking the eggs, take the naan, ten naan in a bag.

With the previous experience of handling eggs, Bai Duoxi was naturally much more relaxed when he next handled the baked naan.

After squatting for too long, Bai Tao felt a little cold when the wind blew, so she stood up and stretched her hands and feet while giving instructions.

"One of these naan for each person. This is dried seaweed. Boil some water in the pot and throw it in. Beat some eggs and cook some seaweed egg drop soup. One bowl for each person. Let's eat this for lunch tonight."

"You don't need to cook this thing for too long. Just throw it in and it will be cooked when the water boils." After all, the villagers had never seen dried seaweed, so Bai Tao had to say more.

"Hey." Bai Duoxi nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I will do my best."

"Okay, I'll trust you to do it."

Bai Tao's casual remark made Bai Duoxi's mouth open even wider, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Dashan." Bai Tao caught a glimpse of Bai Dashan standing not far away with a hesitant look on his face, so she raised her voice and called him over.

"Call a few people to help Duoxi and make him quicker. We have to get going after lunch."

After hearing this, Bai Dashan stopped secretly envious and came forward with a smile: "Yes, auntie."

Looking at the things in front of him and thinking about what Bai Tao said just now about not eating the sausage, Bai Dashan must have understood something.

The ham sausage is so delicious, soft and tasty, even more fragrant than meat. I must be refusing to eat it for the sake of everyone else.

Afraid that everyone would not want to eat it, she made up reasons why she didn't want to eat it.

It’s really hard for my aunt to prepare so much food for everyone.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Bai Dashan felt, and his eyes became red: "Aunt, actually you just need to eat it."

He choked up and said, "Everyone is used to eating two meals a day, so it doesn't matter if we don't eat..." Nothing.

He had barely said half of his words when his stomach started to growl unceremoniously.

"Uh..." Bai Dashan's old face turned red, but he pretended to be calm, as if the rumbling stomach just now was not his.

"Habits are one thing, being hungry is another. Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. When you are hungry, you have to eat."

Bai Tao continued in a baby voice, "We are so tired from traveling, we deserve to have an extra meal."

If you consume your energy for a long time and are always hungry, your resistance will be poor. If you get sick, you won't be able to find a doctor in the middle of nowhere.

It’s always more cost-effective to eat your fill than to get sick from hunger and spend money to see a doctor!
"Go get it done, be quick." She waved her hand, as if to say, "I'm your aunt, you'll be fine if you listen to me." After taking out all the things, Bai Dashan knew that his aunt was worried about the big guys. Although he was reluctant to part with them, his aunt was right. He had to hurry on his way, so he had to eat well to have strength.

People in the countryside raise chickens to lay eggs, but it is rare to see hundreds of eggs laid together.

When the villagers heard that adults could eat three, they were dumbfounded. Is this how you eat eggs?
Who can eat three eggs a day? Even the emperor wouldn’t eat like that, right?!
Some people immediately felt reluctant to leave.

"We can just eat one each, and leave the rest. It never hurts to save." The aunt felt sorry for the guys, but they should not be so shameless.

"I think so."

"My aunt is young, and she is just worried about the big guys, but we are old, and we can't help but think more."

I escaped in a hurry and have nothing, so I save whatever I can.

"Yes, yes."

"That's the truth."

As everyone was talking, they expressed their ideas to Bai Dashan.

Bai Dashan was just about to talk to his fellow villagers about this matter. After hearing this, he agreed and said, "I'm glad that everyone thinks this way."

Bai Tao heard this and waved her hand indifferently: "It has been sent out, it is up to you how to deal with it."

After she finished speaking, she reminded him, "But you will have strength only if you are full, right? However, each child can only eat one egg. If they eat too much..."

After a pause, he explained in words that ancient people could understand: "Young children have fragile stomachs and it is difficult for them to digest too much food."

After all, the villagers have been suffering from long-term malnutrition and their stomachs are not in good condition, especially the young children. As the saying goes, a weak body cannot be nourished.

Bai Dashan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my aunt is very thoughtful."

On Bai Duoxi's side, as soon as he put the eggs into the pot, he was surrounded by people.

"You are really good, you have caught my eye."

"That's right, Duoxi, you are so lucky."

“It’s good to be able to cook.”

Although Bai Duoxi's good cooking skills would not be subject to any malicious ridicule in Taohua Village, in ancient times when gentlemen stayed away from the kitchen, it was still not accepted by people for a grown man to go into the kitchen and cook.

But now, because Bai Tao praised Bai Duoxi's cooking skills, everyone envied him.

Faced with the envy of his fellow villagers, Bai Duoxi didn't know how to restrain himself at all. He was very happy and after pushing the firewood into the pot, he began to chat with everyone.

He raised his chin and looked very proud: "That's right. Thanks to my cooking ability, my aunt doesn't mind, otherwise I wouldn't have this opportunity."

Everyone may be envious, but the way you show off makes people want to put a sack on you and beat you with a club.

"Humph, you look so proud. It's just a boiled egg, as if everyone can't do it."

"That's right. If you weren't right in front of me, this wouldn't be your turn!"

"That's right, what are you so proud of..."

Bai Duoxi immediately refused to do it when she heard it. She glared at him and retorted, "What's wrong with boiled eggs? Is this about boiled eggs? This is my aunt's recognition of my cooking skills."
