Chapter 32 I'm Not a Three-Year-Old Child

"Uh, auntie, you are still here."

Seeing this, Bai Tao blurted out: "Don't you want to come back?" Why isn't she here? She hasn't even left!

"Uh, no, no." Bai Duoxi shook his head quickly.

He absolutely couldn't let the old lady know that he wanted to rush over and scoop the oil from the pot back into the oil barrel, otherwise he would definitely get scolded.

Bai Tao is not stupid. She can't pretend not to see the painful expression on his face as he holds the spoon.

She was helpless and funny.

He waved his hand, called the people over, and said earnestly: "Traveling is the most exhausting, it's not as easy as the busy farming season. If you don't have some food in your stomach, you won't be able to bear it."

Bai Duoxi opened his mouth. There was no shortage of food. There was pork belly, bacon, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. All of them were delicious dishes.

"Auntie, there's so much meat."

Since we started fleeing, every meal we had was delicious. I'm afraid even the rich people in town wouldn't be willing to eat like this? !

"Yeah, that's why we need to add more oil and make it more delicious, otherwise the meat will be wasted! "

Bai Tao didn't know what Bai Duoxi was thinking. She patted his shoulder to comfort him and said, "Okay, go and do your work. I won't stand by and tell you what to do."

After she finished speaking, she jumped down from the frame, turned around and reminded: "When scrambling eggs with tomatoes, put more oil. Oh, and put more eggs. I like to eat eggs in scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

The first half of the sentence made Bai Duoxi's heart skip a beat. Ah, are they going to pour so much oil again?

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Bai Duoxi was shocked and responded loudly: "Hey, auntie, don't worry."

If my aunt likes it, then I must be willing to give it more.

Bai Tao didn't return to the cave, but paced back and forth between several tents, looking here and there.

I also picked some plantain and chickweed and sold them to the mall for seventy-three coins.

When the aroma of food wafted in the air, it was getting dark and people who had gone out to dig purple cypress came back one after another.

Seeing Bai Tao, everyone grinned happily: "Auntie~"

"Auntie, we are back."

Bai Duoxi thought Bai Tao was worried and afraid that he would not put enough oil, but he didn't know that Bai Tao was waiting for the people who were digging purple cypress to come back.

When the grass-digging team came back, Bai Tao didn't even need to look. Just by listening to the constant beeping from the mall, she knew that they had brought back a lot.

"Auntie, I dug up a lot."

The children began to chatter and compare themselves with each other.

"I have a lot too, Auntie. I also dug a lot..."

"I have the most. I have three big ones."

If they hadn't been in front of Bai Tao, they would probably have started a fight out of frustration.

"You're back. You've worked hard. Clean up and it's time for dinner." Bai Tao responded one by one with a sweet smile on her face.

She felt that she had earned back the money she spent on food today.

"Auntie, this is..."

"No hurry, no hurry, let's eat first." Although she had gnawed on two pieces of beef jerky, she was still hungry.

When the old and young heard this, they put away the cypress they had dug, and then lined up to wash their hands and take out their lunch boxes. Bai Tao didn't have to line up herself, as Bai Duoxi brought the food to her.

When she saw that there was almost no tomato and only a lot of eggs, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"I like to eat eggs in scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but that doesn't mean I don't want to eat tomatoes."

"Why don't you pick out all the eggs in the pot for me?" Bai Tao rolled her eyes.

It would be so boring to eat eggs without a few pieces of tomatoes.

In fact, the reason why Bai Tao said she liked eating eggs was that she was afraid that Bai Duoxi would use less eggs to save money. Of course, she really liked the eggs in this dish.

"Uh..." Bai Duoxi was embarrassed, her eyes wandering around with a guilty conscience, trying to convince her, and said, "No, auntie, I just took a spoonful, and then, and then..."

Bai Dashan just happened to bring over seaweed egg drop soup and originally wanted to say a few words to help, but after seeing the eggs in Bai Tao's lunch box, he couldn't say anything against his conscience.

"You think I'm a three-year-old kid."

Bai Tao interrupted him and said, "Is your spoon so powerful? Maybe this bowl of eggs and your spoon are in love with each other?"

"Pfft..." Bai Dashan laughed, but was immediately glared at by Bai Tao. He quickly lowered his head to show that he did nothing, but his erect ears and shrugging shoulders said it all.

"Well, well..." Bai Duoxi saw that she had failed to hide it, so she could only laugh dryly: "Aunt, I saw that you were too tired these days, so I thought of letting you have some more nourishment."

When Bai Dashan heard this, he also raised his head and advised: "Yes, yes, aunt, we are relieved if you are in good health. Eat more and replenish your body."

"You can't become fat in one meal." Bai Tao: "Go quickly, bring me some eggs and some tomatoes to go with them."

"Beat her less, I'm only five years old, not a pig." Giving her the amount of food that an adult should eat, isn't that too much of a compliment to her?

After receiving the instructions, although there were still a lot of eggs, it was finally not so exaggerated.

After digging purple cypress trees, everyone was already starving, and when they came back and smelled the fragrance of the food, they were all looking forward to it.

There were Chinese sausage, pork belly fried with peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and seaweed egg drop soup, while the children got chicken legs one by one.

Looking at the chicken legs in their bowls, many little kids' eyes lit up green.

"Wow, that's great. The delicious thing that auntie was talking about is the chicken drumstick, right?!"

Villagers also raise chickens and ducks at home, but the chickens and ducks are kept for laying eggs. After saving some chicken and duck eggs, they can sell them in town and exchange them for soy sauce, oil, salt and the like.

In a year, not even a chicken would be killed, let alone a child eating a whole chicken leg.

Every child got a chicken leg for dinner. The children were very happy, but the villagers were a little confused. There are only two legs for a chicken, so why were there only legs and no other parts?

You can't just chop off the chicken legs and sell them, right?
The villagers had no idea that their guess was close to the truth.

Some people also searched around the camp and quietly pulled Bai Duoxi aside to ask her. They were relieved after confirming that it was not the aunt who asked them to keep the chicken legs and throw away the others.

The perfectly stewed chicken legs are sprinkled with sesame seeds. When you take a bite, your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat. How can I describe how delicious it is?

After taking the first bite, many children only dare to take small bites the second time, for fear that they will finish it all at once and then have to watch others eat.

"Mom, the chicken legs are so delicious."

"If you know it's delicious, you should honor your aunt. If it weren't for your aunt, you wouldn't even have chicken bones, let alone such delicious chicken legs."

"Mother, I know this without you having to tell me. My aunt is a fairy. Having her is the blessing that our Taohua Village has cultivated for several lifetimes, no, more than ten lifetimes..."
