Chapter 111 Late at night holding firewood
"It smells so good!"
"It's really broth!"
The people who brought the broth couldn't help but exclaim one by one when they looked at the oily floating in the bowl and the sporadic minced meat.
Then I couldn't wait to eat it to the side.
"Ergou, this bowl is for you!"
Aunt Liu saw Sun Ergou, so she put the wooden spoon in her hand on the top of the large pot of broth for half a circle, and after a spoonful came down, there was more minced meat in it than in three bowls of others.
"Auntie, auntie, I ......"
Sun Ergou was excited and waved his hand hurriedly.
"What am I? Hurry up and eat it to the side, and it won't be good to wait for the bottom of the bowl to be hot! ”
Aunt Liu said very domineeringly, and handed the bowl with the broth in her hand to Sun Ergou.
Sun Ergou, who couldn't speak, had to take the bowl of rice, went to the basket on the side, took chopsticks and two cakes and left.
"Her sister-in-law, you are eccentric again! Look at what you have scooped with that spoonful, how big the gap is......"
Someone said half-seriously, half-jokingly.
"If you are twenty years younger, I will also serve you such a meal, how old are you, and you still want to compete with a baby who has not grown up......"
Aunt Liu scolded with a smile in return, and once again put the spoon on the top layer and walked around for half a circle, scooped up a lot of minced meat, put it in a new bowl, and put some others out, after filling the bowl, she said with a smile: "Three donkeys, this is yours." ”
The three donkeys smiled gratefully at Aunt Liu, and after taking it, they also picked up two coarse grain cakes and a pair of chopsticks from the basket on the side, and took them to the side to eat.
"Brother Ergou, why don't you eat? This broth is so delicious, and I haven't eaten such delicious food when I'm at home during the New Year's Festival. ”
After the three donkeys squatted there with a bowl and sucked the heat, they couldn't wait to eat a few bites, and found that Sun Ergou on the side was just squatting there and slowly chewing the coarse grain cakes, looking at the broth on the ground and being stunned, without moving the chopsticks, and asked a little puzzled.
Although the things of the three donkeys and the two dogs are different, the two of them are in the same dormitory, and the two dogs are three years older than the three donkeys, but they are still a child who has not grown up.
In their room, among the people who lived, the two of them were the youngest, and they were able to play together, so the relationship between the two was the best.
"I... I don't know what's wrong today, my stomach is upset, I can't eat. ”
Sun Ergou came back to his senses, and after being stunned for a moment, he said to the third donkey.
"Brother Ergou, this meal is really fragrant, you try to eat some, maybe you can eat it."
The three donkeys said with some concern, but in the midst of their worries, they couldn't hide the wonderful enjoyment that this delicious broth could bring to people.
Sun Ergou hummed, picked up a piece of fatty meat from his bowl with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth, but stopped when he reached his mouth, hesitated for a while, and put it back in the bowl.
"Three donkeys, you eat quickly, finish the broth in the bowl, go and fight another bowl, I will give you my bowl again, and you will be able to eat."
Sun Ergou said.
The third donkey smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Ergou, how can I eat your food." ”
said this, but the speed of eating quietly sped up a lot.
The three donkeys are not thinking about Sun Ergou's bowl of rice, but about those in the jar, eating fast, maybe they can drink another bowl, and when they encounter such good food, everyone wants to eat more.
In the future, Aunt Liu will serve herself another meal, so she will first let her serve half a bowl with herself, so that after she finishes eating the food in the bowl, she can fill a full bowl and eat it slowly.
The three donkeys ate in such a hurry, and this idea suddenly rose in their hearts, and they suddenly felt that their method was very good.
If you really do this, no matter what, you will be able to eat half a bowl of rice for every meal in the future......
The third donkey still ate Sun Ergou's bowl of rice in the end, and he hiccuped.
There is no way, the second dog insists on not eating, so that the bowl of rice will be wasted, as a person who often starves, the third donkey will naturally not let such a thing happen.
As night fell, the room was filled with a flurry of snoring.
After a day's work, everyone was tired, and tonight they ate such delicious food, which soothed their stomachs, so everyone returned to their residences and talked to each other about the deliciousness of the food, and after the generosity of the Han family, they all quickly entered the dream.
The three donkeys touched their stomachs, reminisced about the deliciousness of the meal they ate tonight, and calculated how much money they had earned today.
Sun Ergou didn't fall asleep, he lay on the bed holding the package, and looked at the roof in the dark with his eyes open, and he was distracted there, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passed slowly, the night grew darker and darker, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter.
After making up his mind several times, Sun Ergou finally got up quietly with the package, lightly touched the door, gently opened the door a gap, and then flashed outside.
He paused outside the door for a moment, shook his teeth, and walked towards the place where the firewood and grass were piled up.
Because of the need to boil salt, there are not a few firewood and grass stored in the Qingque Salt Farm, and Sun Ergou soon came here.
He opened the package in his arms, took out the two cakes and kicked them in his arms, and took out the fire knife and flint and the fire-starting thing from the two shoes, and kicked them in his arms as well, and then tied the package in the dark and tied it tightly on his back.
Then he picked up the firewood and grass from here and walked to the house.
According to the man's explanation to him, he should have carried the firewood and grass to the dormitory area at this time, but when he thought of his experience in the salt field in the past two or three days, especially when he remembered the bowl of broth with oil flowers and meat skin floating tonight and Aunt Liu's laughter, he couldn't do such a thing.
The place he was going to now was the house where the salt was stored, and when he set it on fire, there was a fire in the salt works, and the house was burned, and he was done with what the man had said.
His brother and sister-in-law will be safe.
Gently leaning the firewood and grass in his arms against the house, Sun Ergou touched the cake in his arms with his hand.
These two coarse grain cakes were mixed with poison, and when he had lit the fire himself, he ate them.
In this way, his brother and sister-in-law are saved, and he doesn't have to feel guilty like that.
He touched the two cakes through his clothes, turned around and continued to the firewood and grass pile, gently picked up the firewood and grass and carried it to the warehouse, and stacked it at the door.
The night was quiet, and the salt field was also quiet, only Sun Ergou quietly carried firewood and grass, and walked quietly through the courtyard......
