Chapter 27: The Shadow in the Heart
"Mother! You're ready to come in. Tao Liuyi shouted in a loud voice, his heart was back, he was refreshed again, and he felt full of strength.
This voice was loud, and Shen and Tao Qini, who were far away, heard it really well.
The two walked in with baskets and cooking utensils.
"Here, comb, comb." Shen handed the grate to Tao Shifteen, "Wash first!" ”
Tao 15 took the grate, squatted beside Tan to wash the grate, sat on the pebbles and began to comb his hair, combing his hair in turn, and tying his long hair with strips of cloth.
"Do you eat the fish first, or wash it first, the water is comfortable." Tao Fifteen looked at the two of them and asked.
"Eat fish!" Tao Liuyi grabbed the fish on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What are you doing?" Tao Qini reached out and pressed the fish to stop him from gnawing on it.
"Eat fish!" Tao Liuyi raised his eyes and looked at her innocently and said, "Although it's not very tasty, it's bitter, but it's meat, and it's much better than tree bark." ”
This stupid boy, fish doesn't eat like this, but what do you say? Tao Qini said in her heart.
"There are a lot of fish over there, you can take it yourself, you don't have to rob me." Tao Liuyi's eyes were warm, and he looked at her with a smile and said.
Raw? Yao Changsheng looked at the two of them quietly, watching her performance.
Tao Qini naturally felt that there was a searchlight beside her, monitoring her at all times.
Is that stumping her? Tao Qini's eyes turned to Shen Shi and said, "Mother, you are a landlord's helper, don't you see how the landlord's family eats fish?" ”
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard the cook slaughter fish, but I don't know how to do it?" Shen looked at them with an annoyed expression and said.
Yao Changsheng Tao Qini with great interest, and the expression of watching the play should not be too obvious.
As long as the landlord's family eats fish, Tao Qini's glass-like eyes smiled, "I peeked at how the cook slaughtered her, I'll come." As he spoke, he took the fish that was still fluttering in Tao Liuyi's hand.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Yao Changsheng's eyes, he really despised her when he closed his eyes, and he should put away his arrogance.
He is no longer the powerful minister who has the power in the world, one person is below and above ten thousand, and everyone else is rushing to stammer.
Tao Qini was now grumbling with hunger, and walked directly towards the fish that was still bouncing with a big knife.
The big knife slapped the head of the fish, slapped the fish to death, and then took the big knife and began to scrape the scales.
"It turns out that the scales of this fish are going to be scraped off." Shen squatted beside him and looked at her quickly, and said in amazement.
"Not only must the scales be scraped off, but the gills must be removed, and the contents of the fish's stomach must be removed." Tao Qini's hand speed slowed down, and she explained how to peel it little by little.
It's no wonder that Shen doesn't know how to eat fish, as the lowest level of tenant farmer society, over the years, natural disasters and military disasters have eaten grass roots and bark to survive, and I have limited knowledge How to eat some things I really haven't seen?
"That Nier, I understand, just leave me alone, your knife is scary, what should I do if I accidentally hurt my hand?" Shen looked at her worriedly and said softly.
"Mother, don't worry!" Tao Qini said without raising her head, and the movements of her hands were unhurried, so that Shen could clearly see how to operate.
"You'd better find some branches first, put the fish through the mouth and through the belly, and we'll roast and eat it." Tao Qini directly commanded, saving them from feeling distressed.
When the three members of the Tao family heard this, they immediately took action in order to eat the fish in their mouths as soon as possible.
Tao Liuyi picked up firewood, Shen picked up branches, peeled the bark, and wore the fish she had peeled, and Tao Fifteen made a fire.
Seeing this, the corners of Yao Changsheng's mouth twitched, this is a treasure knife! How can you go and peel fish?
He couldn't bear to walk over, "That ......" Yao Changsheng said with his back to her.
Tao Qini looked up at his back when she heard this, didn't she look at people when she spoke? With questions in his eyes, he straightened up and leaned back slightly.
"That knife shouldn't be treated like that." Yao Changsheng continued, with a thick disapproval in his tone.
"That's easy, you peel the fish." Tao Qini's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said easily.
"I ...... I ......" Yao Changsheng was dumbfounded.
"Or you have a better tool for peeling fish." Tao Qini's jet-black pupils shimmered in the sunset, and she looked at him with a smile and said.
"Neither do I." Yao Changsheng bit his lower lip and said in a muffled voice.
"A knife is just a tool, and it's up to me what I do with it." Tao Qini's pure and translucent eyes looked at him and said clearly.
Yao Chang moved his mouth vividly, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, yes! The knife can be used however people want, what is their position?
"Excuse me." Yao Changsheng turned around and left a little unwillingly.
Tao Qini lowered her head and continued to peel the fish, she was really a nerd.
After the fire was raised, Tao Qini finished peeling the twenty or so fish.
Shen dressed the fish, and they each took the fish rack and roasted it on the fire.
Gradually, the smell of fish spreads, and the sound of swallowing saliva is getting louder and louder.
All of them were starving.
"Okay? Is it ready to eat? Tao Liu's eyes stared at the grilled fish with a green light, and he couldn't wait to ask.
"Alright, alright." Shen handed the two fish in his hand to Yao Changsheng and said, "Young Master Yao, you eat first." ”
"Eat! I don't eat fish. Yao Changsheng's eyes wandered and waved his hand.
Don't eat fish, the Tao family all looked at Yao Changsheng, "Why?" ”
"No why? Dislike. Yao Changsheng raised his eyes and looked at Shen Shi Dao, "It's good to pick some wildflowers and cook them for a while." ”
"How can this be? Wild vegetables don't go hungry at all, how good is that! Tao fifteen looked at him with puzzled eyes and said, "If you don't eat, you won't have the strength to go on the road." ”
"The fish is peeled and won't be unpalatable. It must smell good. Shen's black and white eyes looked at him and persuaded him.
"It's not the fish's problem, it's mine." Yao Changsheng looked at them and said with difficulty.
He doesn't eat fish, it should be said to be exact, he doesn't eat meat, this is a serious sequelae left behind by crawling out of the pile of dead people in the desert. He has been a vegetarian all his life, and he has never eaten any meat, even if he is a very good minister.
"Don't look at me, eat quickly!" Yao Changsheng looked at their eyes that cared about him, his heart warmed, and he said with a smile.
"Let's eat first on June 1st!" Shen handed the fish he had grilled to Tao Liu.
"Give it to Niel first! Her stomach growled with hunger. Tao Liuyi's warm eyes looked at Tao Qini and smiled.
"Then I won't ......" Tao Qini swallowed back the polite words, "Then I really ate it." ”
"Eat! Eat! Let what let's. Tao Liuyi looked at Shen and said, "Mother, give the fish to Ni'er to eat." ”
Shen handed the grilled golden fish to Tao Qini and instructed, "Eat slowly, be careful of scalding." ”
"Uh-huh!" Tao Qini nodded and took a big bite under her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and screaming!
Looking at her posture of eating fish, Yao Changsheng couldn't help but say, "You guys be careful of fish bones." ”
