"Master, people have already eaten, why don't you go out yet?"
The brunette came back at some point. Its belly was already bulging, and it seemed to be full. Tian Qingqing, who looked at him in a daze, asked.
Tian Qingqing shook his head: "If we don't go out tonight, we will just watch them in the space." β
Black girl: "How are you going to eat if you don't go out?" There is no cooked food in the space. Otherwise, let's go to the table and quietly get some, they won't be able to see us anyway. β
Tian Qingqing hurriedly stopped: "Don't go, there will be movement to alarm them." β
The black girl glanced at Tian Qingqing: "If you want to fill your stomach, how can you do it without making a move?" Your ability can't remotely ingest artificially made meals?! β
Tian Qingqing's heart suddenly lit up when he heard this: Yes, you have to fill your stomach, you can't make any movement! So, to achieve your goal, why not make some movement to alarm them?! Don't let them be too scary, but get things done!!
Tian Qingqing smiled at the black girl: "Thank you, for reminding me." β
"Then you hurry up and eat, if it's too late, there will be no food." The brunette urged.
"Don't move here, I'll do it." Tian Qingqing was afraid that it would not be serious and frightened people too much, so he instructed: "If you think this place is boring, go back to the space courtyard." β
Black girl: "I'm still here to watch over you." I see how you have a brain tonight, as if you don't know what you're supposed to do. β
"It was so sudden that I wasn't prepared for it at all. There are old and young here, and I really don't know how to do it? Tian Qingqing let out a long breath as she spoke: "It's okay now, I have an idea." Don't bother me. With that, he got up and walked outside.
I ate less than a bowl of dumplings at noon, two popsicles in the afternoon, and nothing more. After being reminded by the black girl, Tian Qingqing really felt hungry in her belly.
Look at the dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals, they are almost bottoming out. Looking at the people who were eating, they were talking loudly while eating, and the stars flew all over the table. Tian Qingqing suddenly lost her appetite.
But the stomach is "growling" uncontrollably.
Tian Qingqing came to the kitchen again, wanting to find something to fill his stomach here, even if it was a piece of dry food.
In the kitchen, the little concubine Dai Shujuan is rolling noodles, and the big concubine basket Caiye is beating eggs in front of the stove. Neither of them spoke, each doing their own work, each thinking about their own thoughts in their hearts, and thinking about their own little ninety-nine.
It seems that there is no doubt that I will eat Lao Mian tonight.
Eating Lao Mian is the most expensive, and people in the countryside generally don't eat it. Especially for treats, eating Lao Mian is considered a first-class meal. It seems that the big concubine who has always been instigated is a family splitter, and she drinks and eats noodles, and today is a bloody investment!
There was nothing in the kitchen except raw noodles and some leftover lettuce. Tian Qingqing suddenly remembered that the dry food might have been kept in the Xili room, because she had seen her grandmother take it out of there in the past, so she turned back and went to the Xili room.
Hao Jianguo, Hao Jianying, and Hao Xuanxuan, the three siblings, are all here. Probably in order to seal their mouths and control their legs, Basket Caiye placed a fried peanut rice plate and two stir-fry plates on the windowsill, the contents of which were pre-allocated from the plates on the wine table.
There is also a small bag of candy, which is exactly the same as Tian Qingqing's family. It seems that Hao Lanxin brought it this afternoon, and the basket of colored leaves was not willing to give it to the children at that time, and stayed at night to coax them, so as not to let Xiao Xuanxuan pester the adults and prevent them from working.
I don't know if it was taught by the basket color leaf or spontaneous by Hao Jianguo, they ate the peanuts and rice. One for each person, and no one is allowed to take it after eating. Even if little Hao Xuanxuan couldn't help but stretch out her little hand, she would also be beaten back by the "ruthless" eldest brother Hao Jianguo. Xiao Xuanxuan knew that she was at a loss, and she smirked "hehe".
The same goes for candy, there is one in front of one person, and there is not much left in the paper bag.
This method is exactly what Tian Qingqing wants. She was also afraid that after she made a disturbance, she would scare her three young and innocent little cousins.
Especially Hao Xuanxuan, who is only three years old now. When Basket Caiye died, she was not yet an adult, lying on the spirit foil and crying to death. Let Tian Miaomiao, who is one year younger than her, shed tears with her.
Thinking of this, Tian Qingqing was kind-hearted, but at the same time, he was afraid that they would be frightened when they went out after eating, so he ran to the space hall and took some candy and fried peanuts that he had prepared there, at this time, peanuts had become a common dish in Tian Qingqing's house, and for the convenience of eating, Tian Qingqing prepared some in the space, and it was just right to take them out at this time.
The three brothers and sisters were eating peanuts one by one, and their attention was all focused on the plate. Tian Qingqing waited and waited, but he didn't have a chance to put the candy and peanuts in his hand.
Suddenly, he had an idea, and took a small rag doll that Xiao Xuanxuan usually played with from the front table to the ground......
"Smack."
"What's the noise?" Hao Jianguo was the first to react, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where the sound was made.
Hao Jianying and Xiao Xuanxuan climbed to the edge of the kang and looked at the ground on their stomachs.
"Ragdoll, it's falling to the ground." Xiao Xuanxuan pointed to her rag doll on the ground and said loudly.
"Ahem......," Hao Jianguo said, "Regardless of it, let's continue to eat us." β
Tian Qingqing hurriedly took this opportunity to put the candy into the paper bag and the peanuts into the plate.
I don't want to put too many peanuts, and they are older than the original. There was no chance of picking it up again, because the three of them had already returned to the windowsill.
Tian Qingqing hurriedly covered one side with a space wall, allowing them to see a part of it first, and then gradually increase it.
After all, it's a child, so foolish, and all the attention is focused on eating. None of the three of them said anything, and continued to eat one by one.
Tian Qingqing thought it was funny.
I looked around the house, but I didn't find any grates. I had to give up.
But the hunger is unbearable. Peeled a candy and put it in my mouth, chewed a few peanuts, and still didn't solve the problem. I hurriedly ran to the space courtyard, picked two big and red tomatoes, and took a pair of chopsticks, before returning to the wine table, pondering and eating while watching, looking for an opportunity to "make a noise".
Tian Qingqing was really hungry this time, and the two big tomatoes were eaten by her in a short time, and she felt unsatisfied.
At this time, the two fish on the wine table had eaten up the flesh on the top, and two white fish spines, together with long ribbed spines, were placed on them. And there's a lot more to the fish below. If someone wants to eat, they use chopsticks to dig under the fish bones.
Tian Qingqing suddenly remembered that there was such a custom in the local area: if it was to build a house and put up beams, discuss a heavy incident, or hold a send-off banquet, people were taboo to turn the fish on the plate over and eat it. If you want to eat, you have to use chopsticks to dig under the fish bones. Why, Tian Qingqing didn't know. It's a bit like the saying that flipping a fish in a boat will cause the boat to capsize, and it's a symbol of bad luck. It seems that these people are aware of this custom: after the first half of the slice is eaten, they can eat it with chopsticks, and they do not turn the fish over.
Why don't you take advantage of it today?! ββTian Qingqing thought to herself.
With all eyes on the dishes on the table, how can you accomplish this?
Movement!
Right! We should make some noise! It's like using ragdolls to divert Hao Jianguo's attention!
Tian Qingqing thought about it, and scanned the hall with his eyes. When he noticed a round gong hanging on the wall above his head, he stood up, pushed the gong up with his hand, and then let go of his hand.
The gong broke away from the nail, "snapped", and fell on the stove, and then "Guro" "Gulu" rolled off the stove.
The sound alarmed everyone at the table, and they all turned their eyes in the direction of the sound.
Tian Qingqing hurriedly leaned on the table and turned over the two fish with the pair of chopsticks prepared in advance.
"The gong fell. The children must not have hung up. Hao Lancheng said self-deprecatingly, picking up the gong that "Gulu" had reached his feet. Re-hung on the original nails.
When people focused their eyes on the table again, they couldn't help but be stunned: the two fish that had already eaten the upper part of the fish were now facing upwards, and the oily flesh shimmered seductively.
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, guessing in my heart who took advantage of the moment the gong fell to the ground and turned the two fish over one by one.
Hao Lancheng frowned, looked at his younger brother Hao Lanshun angrily, and said, "Did you turn the fish over?" β
Hao Lanshun also glared at him, and said a little angrily: "As soon as the gong sounded, I stood up with chopsticks and watched." Didn't move the fish at all! If you don't believe it, ask your father and second brother (sitting next to him is the man Tian Qingqing only knows the second uncle)"
"Alright, alright, turn it over. This is a legend that if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, who has ever seen something really happen? Hao Fujian played the disc calmly.
The old man has spoken, and he is the master again, so no one says anything more. Everyone continued to drink and eat again, and feasted.
This turn is more conducive to people to eat. In a few moments, the two fish were eaten only by their bones.
The fish incident didn't cause much shock, and Tian Qingqing was a little unwilling. Seeing that the initiator Hao Lancheng was very happy to eat a mouthful of wine and food, he couldn't help but bump into it angrily.
Tian Qingqing thought to herself: You have to be like this when you play with the old man! Don't you know that those who harm others also harm themselves, and if you separate the elderly, your husband and wife will be separated from yin and yang. Let you suffer a little today so that you will not be lonely in the future. Such an inhuman scum should not have saved you, who made you my uncle and my mother's compatriot brother! For the sake of your brother and sister, I will save you tonight, and I hope you will accept this lesson and be an upright man from now on.
Tian Qingqing thought about it, so he snatched the chopsticks from Hao Lancheng's hand and threw them at the northeast corner of the hall. (To be continued) RS
