Chapter 12 It's all my fault for not being educated
"My aunt said that she trusts me to do things!" When he said this, he looked extremely proud and spoke each word clearly, as if he was afraid that no one had heard him clearly.

"You don't know, my aunt just now..."

Bai Duoxi still wanted to continue showing off, but when people like him, who were already jealous, heard this, they were unwilling to stay and listen.

Everyone was upset, but you still didn't calm down, so everyone looked at each other, found an excuse, and dispersed while mumbling.

"Hey, don't leave. Listen to me and you guys. My aunt just praised me."

Bai Duoxierkang was unable to hold the man back, and snorted with a look of dissatisfaction. Really, why are you guys so stingy? What's wrong with chatting a few more words?

Some villagers were also complained by their wives or parents: "Look at you, if you could just cook, wouldn't you be able to go when your aunt calls for help?"

"We all have two shoulders to support one head, why is it that the food cooked by Brother Xi tastes good when there are many people, but not you?"

"You can't even cook. You've lived all these years in vain!"

"What a great opportunity, but you can't cook. It's useless."

The villagers who were complained by their wives and parents wanted to say something but didn't know what to say: "Uh..."

Looking at Bai Duoxi who was grinning happily while stirring the eggs in the pot, well, they actually regretted not studying cooking well!

I don’t know how far into the woods Old Blackhead and his men went. The eggs were cooked, the naan was baked, and the seaweed egg drop soup was served into everyone’s bowls, but they haven’t come back yet.

After finding out that some food had been reserved for Lao Heitou and the others, Bai Tao led the other villagers to eat first.

Bai Duoxi’s cooking skills are really good. Although it was his first time to bake naan, he was able to bake it just right, crispy and fragrant.

While eating, Bai Tao accidentally noticed that some villagers had red eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. Is it really so disgusting?

She took another bite of the naan and it wasn't bad, especially the crispy and fragrant taste after being roasted. It was just that it was a bit choking if she bit too big, so she had to drink a mouthful of roasted naan and a sip of soup.

We earned so much today, so we're just giving these to everyone to eat. Bai Tao felt a little guilty when he thought about it.

Isn't she being a little too stingy?
Seems like, a little bit?
Should she cultivate more habit of villagers to 'respect' her?
Only when the villagers find more things can they sell them for money.

Thinking of this, Bai Tao coughed twice and said, "Ahem, ahem... Well, we still have to rest at noon, so let's just eat a little."

After saying that, Bai Tao promised again: "In the evening, we will have a good meal in the evening."

As soon as she said this, she immediately aroused the disapproval of the villagers, and everyone started talking about it.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? This cake is so delicious!"

"Auntie, these are good enough."

"Yes, auntie, we have never eaten such delicious bread."

Deal with it?

This is not just a settlement. My auntie provides delicious food for everyone for every meal. They have eaten better these two days than any other Chinese New Year.

Not to mention the previous two meals, just talk about this morning's breakfast. The rice used to make porridge was intact, every grain of rice was intact, and there was not a single grain missing.

The porridge is tender and smooth, not harsh on the throat at all, and so fragrant that everyone wants to swallow it with their tongue.

They were also farmers, but they had never seen rice that was so white and had such complete grains.

Now Xiangwu is eating soft pancakes again, and each person has three eggs. Even gods would be envious of such a life, right? !

Because they had never seen baked naan before, the villagers called it "flatbread".

Bai Tao was stunned when she heard this: "Don't you think it tastes bad?"

"No!" "How can it be unpalatable, auntie? This cake is delicious." As she said this, as if afraid that Bai Tao would not believe it, a woman next to her opened her mouth and took a big bite.

However, this was just her own opinion of a big bite. Because she was reluctant to do so, it naturally had no convincing effect in Bai Tao's eyes.

Bai Tao said with a look on her face, "Don't lie to me, it's not bad. Why are you crying?"

"what?"

"this…"

The villagers felt a little embarrassed by the question. They looked at each other and someone spoke.

"Auntie, this bread is not bad, really. It is very delicious, soft and fragrant, and has sesame seeds."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just so delicious, everyone can, can..." What should it be called? The person who spoke got so anxious that his face turned red, blaming himself for not learning a few more words.

At this time, Bai Dashan on the side took over the conversation: "Auntie, you guys are not crying, this is called, what is it called, oh, yes, it is tears of joy."

At this moment, Bai Dashan was glad that he had studied hard during the two years of school when he was a child, otherwise he would not have been able to utter such a cultured word.

"Yes, yes."

"Yes, yes, auntie, that's what the village chief meant."

Seeing the villagers' sincere faces, Bai Tao nodded doubtfully: "Okay."

At this time, there was a noise coming from the woods next to them. Everyone suddenly quieted down and picked up any stones or sticks at hand.

Under everyone's guarded gaze, Lao Heitou and his men came out, and the people in Taohua Village finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're back. I've saved food for you. Hey, what are you doing..."

He was fine when he left, how come he came back so dirty?

The key point is that the faces of several people were more or less swollen, as if they were stung by something.

Bai Dashan exclaimed in surprise: "Did you encounter a hornet's nest?"

"No." The old black man shook his head: "I just encountered a nest of honey."

It turned out that when they were catching wild rabbits, they encountered worker bees collecting nectar. Lao Heitou was experienced and knew at a glance that there must be a beehive nearby.

It is rare to encounter a beehive at this time of year. It would be great if he could collect some to nourish his body, so he took his men and followed.

There was indeed a beehive, and they did attack it, but they didn't have any suitable tools, and their clothes were not thick enough, so even after being prepared, everyone got stung several times.

A few people shook off the remaining honey's pursuit and took a detour before they got back.

They came back just to get things to collect honey. After all, it was such a big beehive and they got stung. It would be a shame not to collect the honey.

When Bai Tao heard that they needed something to hold honey, she walked behind a big tree on the side of the road without saying a word, and came out with two plastic buckets in her hands.

If the bucket wasn't bigger than the bamboo basket, she wouldn't have to go behind the tree. It was too scary to have something appear out of thin air right in front of her.

"Here, use this to carry it." One bucket is worth nine mall coins.

The dark blue bucket looked ordinary and even a bit ugly to Bai Tao. The reason she bought it was because it was cheap.

But in the eyes of the villagers, the brand new bucket was smooth and beautiful. Without even touching it, everyone could tell it was invaluable just by looking at it from a distance.
