Chapter 31 God has many children
"What are you thinking about? How can we possibly meet such a powerful person?" It was obvious that these were not things of this world.

There was also a villager squatting in front of a white plastic bucket and sniffing: "It smells so good, is this the peanut oil that grandma was talking about?"

"Yes, this bucket weighs twenty pounds."

"That would take a lot of peanuts."

"You're not talking nonsense, of course."

The people in Taohua Village had never seen so much peanut oil, let alone eaten it.

In addition to picking camellia seeds to extract oil every year, villagers also grit their teeth and cut some pork to make oil.

But even if the oil is refined, people still don’t want to use it when cooking. They just dip a little bit of it in the oil and swirl it in the pan.

At first glance, seeing so much oil, especially peanut oil, which even the rich people in the town might not be willing to eat, is really astonishing.

"Our aunt is so amazing!"

From the beginning of the escape until now, Bai Tao has taken out so many things that shocked the villagers. They were shocked at the beginning, but now they are more worried.

"Do you think that my aunt's behavior would harm her?"

"Of course there are. How can there be no harm if you work so hard?"

One villager lowered his voice and said, "I am saying something extremely treasonous."

"Even if our aunt is God's daughter, if she keeps taking things from down there, she's afraid she'll get scolded, right?"

Once this topic was brought up, others nodded.

"Yes, yes, I am worried too."

"There are many children in God's family. If my aunt ate and used it alone, it wouldn't matter, but my aunt gave it to us. Her other sisters and brothers might stare at it and they will definitely have objections."

It's the same in ordinary people's families. It's not uncommon for parents to favor one child, and the others will see it and remember it.

The villagers' topic drifted further and further away, and soon they were talking about the old dog in the next village.

"We still have to be frugal. We should go hunting when we need to rest and look for wild vegetables when we need to. We can't let my aunt take everything."

In fact, there are not many edible wild vegetables in late autumn, not to mention after a day of rain, the ground suddenly froze and there were even fewer wild vegetables.

"Yes, yes, yes, don't make me suffer so much."

I became wise late in life. What if everyone else is useless and God finds out and takes me away?

They only have this one aunt.

Everyone was talking and chatting without stopping the work at hand.

Bai Duoxi was a little confused. Her aunt had just told her not to save oil. A barrel of oil would last about five or six days.

But with so much oil, will it only last for three to five days?

What's the difference between that and drinking the oil directly?

But, I have to obey my aunt's orders.

After thinking about it, Bai Duoxi decided to put a little more than usual. He thought the taste would definitely not be bad.

Soon, everything was ready, and the steamer for steaming rice had already been put into the washed rice and sausage.

The people who went to dig purple cypress were also very busy.

The leaves of the purple cypress are purple at this time of year, which is extremely conspicuous even in a dense forest. However, it is not easy to dig them, after all, the rain did not stop until noon.

But the people in Taohua Village came in groups of three or five, and they searched very carefully.

"Sister, this!" Bai Shitou said as he rushed forward.

He was dragging a bamboo basket that was almost as tall as himself. There were already more than twenty purple cypress trees in the basket.

Bai Xiaocao had just picked up the newly dug purple cypress when he heard his brother's voice. He hurried over to take a look: "Wow, there are three plants. Your brother is really awesome." After receiving the praise, Bai Shitou looked up and smiled shyly, then lowered his head and continued to wave the small shovel in his hand.

"Sister, will my aunt like these?" Bai Shitou suddenly asked this question after carefully putting the dug out purple cypress into the bamboo basket.

Bai Xiaocao was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Of course."

Since my aunt asked for it, she must like it.

Hearing this, Bai Shitou nodded thoughtfully, left the remaining one for his sister to dig, and looked around for a new one.

Not far from the two of them, from time to time, other people could be heard exclaiming when they found purple cypresses: "I found two, no one is allowed to snatch them from me."

"Hahaha, I saw another one."

"I found a big one, my aunt will definitely praise me!"

"I have two here, they are also big, my aunt will like them too."

"Huh, you must like me."

"Like mine."

It's obvious that these voices, filled with the sound of vying for favor, are all coming from children. After all, when adults discover something, they'll just bury their heads in digging and won't have the time to chatter.

"Of course I like the ones who dig more. That's why I like the ones who dig more."

When Bai Shitou heard this, he couldn't help but look at the bamboo basket. He and his sister dug a lot, so I think the aunt would like it.
The rice was almost done steaming, and Bai Duoxijiu was preparing to start cooking.

Bai Tao came out of the cave upon hearing the news.

She sat on a black frame of peppers stacked nearby, looking as if she was supervising something, and the first thing she said was, "Put more oil in it."

Fried pork with peppers needs more oil to be fragrant. The dish is originally cooked in a big pot, and if you are reluctant to add oil and only add water to cook it, Bai Tao can imagine how bad it will taste.

Bai Tao came out to check it out in person because she was worried.

Bai Duoxi was dumbfounded. Ah, why did my aunt come out?

Bai Duoxi swallowed and felt the pressure of cooking for the first time.

Under Bai Tao's unignorable gaze, Bai Duoxi poured a little more oil than he had originally planned.

But he felt that it was just his illusion that a lot of water was poured. To Bai Tao, it was only a few dozen milliliters.

Bai Tao was speechless. There was a big pot of food, but only this little bit of oil was used. What was it good for?

"Pour some more." As she spoke, she swung her feet around the black frame.

Seeing him hesitate, Bai Tao urged in a baby voice: "Put more, there is so much in the bucket."

Bai Duoxi stammered, unable to hide her reluctance on her face: "Auntie, this is not a small amount."

Pork belly is naturally fragrant and tastes good even without too much oil. It tastes good even when boiled in water with a little salt.

Bai Tao had no idea of ​​Bai Duoxi's depression. She stood up, stepped on the frame, put her hands on her hips, and ordered, "Fall again!"

"Why are you so stingy? I didn't shortchange you on the oil for cooking." Why should you be so frugal? The peanut oil is about to expire and there are still four barrels in the warehouse.

"Come on, pour it. Stop only when I say stop." Seeing her glaring angrily, Bai Duoxi had no choice but to nod repeatedly.

This time, while slowly pouring the oil, he distractedly looked in the direction of Bai Tao and tried to persuade her: "Auntie, actually..."

"Don't talk." She knew what was being said without even hearing it.

"Oh." Bai Duoxi kept silent until Bai Tao said it was okay, then he quickly picked up the oil barrel.

Looking at the amount of oil being emptied, Bai Duoxi felt so distressed, as he had used too much.

He subconsciously picked up the spoon, and just as he raised it, he thought of something and looked to the side, and saw Bai Tao looking at him with her head tilted.
