Chapter 62: Shameless
Yam eggs are not only more fragrant than potatoes, but also more satiety than eating potatoes because they contain more starch and nutrients.
In less than half an hour, all the people in Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village ate all their piles of simmered yam eggs, and sat on the ground to rest one by one.
Moreover, they probably think that the yam eggs are too small and too troublesome to peel.
When they eat, they wipe the soil and fire ashes on the yam eggs, and then they eat them directly in their mouths, without even peeling off the skin.
It looks really sour.
On the other hand, Zhoujia Village, because the situation is different from them, they have not been hungry in the past few months, and everyone pays attention to peeling when they eat.
Only children who are greedy and greedy, with their parents helping to peel the skin, eat relatively quickly.
The vast majority of adults eat slowly and methodically.
There are still a lot of yam eggs in each of their hands that have not been eaten.
As for Xiao Qiongzhi, it's the same.
The two old ladies of Zhoujia Village, who were responsible for distributing yam eggs, doted on her in their hearts, and deliberately gave a lot more to her and Zheng Bang, and in addition, they also gave a share to the uncle who drove the oxcart.
She thought that the amount of food that Liu Wuxiu and Chu Yunniang had been restricted by Liu Wuxiu and Chu Yunniang at home, and she only kept her tight, the dog and the stone had basically not eaten enough, and she had the heart to eat with them, and she did not shirk what the old lady gave her and Zheng Bang more.
However, she thought that the yam eggs had not been washed, and had been simmered, stained with soil and fire ashes, and were relatively dirty.
Before eating, she deliberately wrapped the portion that belonged to her and Zheng Bang in a handkerchief, and asked Zheng Bang to accompany her, take it to the nearby river, and wash it.
It's a dog, a stone, lazy, didn't wash the yam eggs, just wiped them twice with their sleeves and ate them.
When Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang came back, they happened to eat up all the yam eggs they had allocated, and they all stared at the yam eggs in Xiao Qiongzhi's handkerchief with bright eyes.
Xiao Qiongzhi immediately grabbed out four handfuls and distributed them among them, leaving only about one-third of the portion and keeping it for himself and Zheng Bang to eat.
It's just that she thinks she is ingenious, and it is very difficult to peel this yam egg, and so far, she has only peeled about 20 of them.
Fortunately, it is interesting to see that they look like twenty irregularly shaped yellow pearls, piled up in the corner of a handkerchief, and the unique fresh fragrance of yam eggs shines.
"I still want it!" At this time, Shi had already eaten up the yam eggs that Xiao Qiongzhi had given him.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the twenty or so yam eggs that Xiao Qiongzhi had peeled, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Xiao Qiongzhi hated his completely shameless scoundrel habit of stuttering so much that he was so angry that he stretched out his hand and hit him.
He didn't grasp it steadily, and dropped the twenty or so yam eggs that he didn't have time to stuff into his mouth.
He hurriedly lowered his head in distress to pick up the yam eggs, and counted Xiao Qiongzhi loudly: "Zhi'er, what are you doing beating me?" You won't eat it anyway, so why don't you allow me to eat it? You waste food so much, I want to tell Uncle Yun and my mother! ”
Who said not to eat it?
What does it mean for the wicked to sue first?
That's it.
Xiao Qiongzhi was so angry that she was in no mood to reason with him.
She turned her head to look at the dog and said lightly, "Dog, you can take the stone with the old lady of our village and them." ”
"Zhi'er, don't be angry, it's not right for my brother to rob you of something to eat, but we are a family, you just drive us away for this, and you are not right." The dog looked at the stone, and then at the large pile of unpeeled yam eggs on Xiao Qiongzhi's handkerchief, and replied a little unhappily.
Obviously, Xiao Qiongzhi was too stingy, and he obviously had a lot of yam eggs left, but he was reluctant to give them to him and his brother to eat.
This made Xiao Qiongzhi even more angry.
There are a lot of yam eggs on the handkerchief, and that's because not only is she slow to peel yam eggs, but Zheng Bang is also slow to peel them.
She noticed that Zheng Bang only grabbed a small handful after she washed the yam eggs and brought them back, stood aside to peel them, and until now, she hasn't come to grab the second handful!
How much can a handful have?
At most, it's just like she just peeled, about twenty.
However, the two brothers, Dog and Stone, when they met something to eat, one was more scoundrel than the other, and their character and literacy were too poor.
If you continue to keep them like this, sooner or later you will lose a big one.
She sank her face and told the dog in a cold voice: "First, after the fire in your house, my mother and I are willing to take you in and treat you as family members, which is love, but not responsibility, if you use this as a reason to blackmail me, it is a big mistake!" ”
"Second, I didn't drive you away, I just didn't want to affect my mood to eat because of you."
"After all, I haven't eaten a single yam egg until now, and you, not only have you eaten up your own yam eggs, but also eaten up nearly forty percent of the yam eggs I gave you from me and my uncle, and now, one has come to snatch my peeled yam eggs, and the other is staring at my remaining yam eggs, and can't turn your eyes!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Qiongzhi pointed to him and the stone, looked at Zheng Bang, and said, "Uncle, they are not leaving, please send them back to the old lady of our village." ”
"Zhi'er, we don't-"
When the dog and the stone heard this, they were about to retort in unison, when Zheng Bang had already come over and quickly stretched out his finger to point at their dumb holes.
Like an eagle catching a chicken, he carried one in one hand and sent it back to the ranks of the villagers of Zhoujia Village.
The villagers of Zhoujia Village all heard the argument between Xiao Qiongzhi and the dog and the stone just now, and they all felt that the dog and the stone were wrong.
After they were sent over, everyone glared at them with contempt and shy away from them.
Only Da Niu and Shi Shan squeezed through the crowd.
"Dogs, stones, no wonder you have stopped playing with me since Zhi'er came to our village, it turned out that Zhi'er was kind-hearted and wanted to fool her things to eat! You guys are such scoundrels! In the future, I will never treat you as brothers again! The stone angrily threw a few words at the dog and the stone, and returned to the crowd in a huff.
"Dog, stone, you two are really not as good as pigs and dogs!"
"Sister Zhi'er's house is for you to live and eat, Uncle Dayong and Uncle Da Ying also teach us to read and read and learn kung fu every day, but they don't ask us for any restraints, such a great kindness is a person, and it will take a lifetime to repay it!"
"But you don't know how to reciprocate, but after Sister Zhi'er gave you so much of the food she and Uncle Hero's share, you are still not satisfied! I still want to rely on her! ”
"Whew! With your kind of goods, not only will I not play with you anymore in the future, but if anyone in our family dares to play with you, I will break their legs! After the big bull angrily reprimanded Datong, he was still unwilling, his eyes widened, and he glared at the dog and the stone sternly before striding back to the crowd.
It's so manly.
Xiao Qiongzhi looked interesting, her mood improved a lot, and she continued to patiently peel the yam eggs slowly.
At this time, the patriarchs of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village suddenly came to her in unison.
"Little master, can you do the three of us a favor, please your uncle and your uncle, also teach the children of our three villages to read and learn kung fu?" The patriarch of Wangjia Village pointed to himself and the patriarchs of Xujia Village and Liujia Village, and asked cautiously.
