Chapter 28: Uninvited Guests
Another can of grasshoppers, Yuan Ning added some flour, added an egg, with five-spice powder, salt, stirred evenly and fried it in the oil pan, and the taste was even better.
By this time, the rapeseed oil sent by Su Heting had already gone down by half.
Zhong Ling was distressed when she saw her being so willing to release oil, and kept persuading on the side: "Sister, you put less!" ”
Yuan Ning pushed her, "Come on, don't look at me, hurry up and eat!" ”
Zhong Ling felt sorry for her, and divided half a bowl of grasshoppers and fed them to Yuan Ning while eating them.
Yuan Ning was also quick with his hands and feet, and soon fried all the grasshoppers, and there was still some oil left in the pot.
After the fire was removed, Yuan Ning and Zhong Ling also sat at the dinner table, and saw that Bo Zhong and Shu Yu were sitting in a proper manner, and no one moved their chopsticks, Yuan Ning said angrily: "Why don't you eat?" Not hungry? ”
Shu Yu said obediently: "Let's wait for the eldest sister to eat together!" ”
Yuan Ning smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Okay! Let's have dinner together! ”
As soon as a few people raised their chopsticks, they heard someone outside the fence say, "What a fragrant smell!" ”
The voice is somewhat familiar.
Yuan Ning turned his face to see that it was Su Heting, but today Su Heting was dressed differently than before, the last time he came, he was still wearing Si Swenwen, but today he was wearing a short shirt, carrying luggage, his face was also blackened, and his appearance looked quite rough.
Bo Zhong and the others didn't recognize it.
Yuan Ning frowned and commanded in a low voice: "You guys hurry up and eat!" He got up and went out, pretending not to recognize him, standing in front of the door and asking, "Is the guest going to ask for directions?" ”
Su Heting looked at the sly look that flashed in her eyes, and knew that she was deliberately pretending to be strange, so he touched his stomach and said, "I'm passing by, I'm hungry, and I want to beg for food." However, don't worry, I don't eat for nothing, I can give money. ”
Yuan Ning's eyes rolled, this person didn't know what the origin was, originally she planned to do more than less, but seeing that this person has a lot of identity, if she buys things and goes to the county town in the future, there is such a person, you can also find some ways, so she smiled and nodded: "If you don't think our food in the countryside is rough, come in and sit." ”
Su Heting entered the courtyard and sniffed. It's really a fragrance that I haven't smelled before.
Bo Zhong also recognized him by close observation, knowing that such an adult man must have a lot of food, so he was not very happy.
But Zhong Ling and Shu Yu didn't recognize it.
Yuan Ning let Su Heting sit down in his place, added the dishes to the bowl by himself, took a pair of chopsticks for Su Heting again, and went to eat by himself.
A small square table, sitting down these people is just one thing, she knows that the era she is in now pays attention to the difference between men and women, and does things rigorously!
Bo Zhong and the others were not happy to see that Su Heting had squeezed out their own sisters.
Yuan Ning said before they opened their mouths: "You guys are so good to greet guests!" ”
The three didn't dare to say anything else, and just ate with their heads bored.
There are four dishes on the table, one fried loofah, one cold cabbage, and two are two flavors of fried grasshoppers.
Su Heting stretched out his chopsticks, "This is a shrimp?" He went to the grasshopper coated in flour, tasted it, and praised it, "It's delicious!" It just doesn't taste like shrimp. ”
Shu Yu had already eaten almost, his eyes rolled when he heard the words, he got up and ran to the sack, pulled out a string of grasshoppers, ran back and raised them high, and said with a smile: "Guest, look! That's what we're eating! ”
Yuan Ning looked at Su Heting with interest, and when he saw that his face turned green instantly, he couldn't help but laugh.
Su Heting happened to pick up a chopsticks grasshopper and was about to send it to his mouth, but when he heard the words, he didn't eat it, and after a while, he said embarrassedly: "Why are you ...... Eat this? ”
Half of the rice in Yuanning's bowl was eaten, and he sighed when he heard this: "The guests don't know, our family is too poor to afford meat, so we have no choice but to find some meat to eat by ourselves."
"We're all young, we don't have any meat and we don't grow tall. It's so mixed up, so I can be full, and the children who don't have a father or mother are so pitiful......"
After that, she came over to add vegetables, took away a lot of grasshoppers facing Su Heting's side, and sandwiched some vegetarian dishes.
Su Heting lowered his eyes, and sighed in his heart, it is not easy for this little girl to support a family by herself!
The corner of her eyes swept over, and she hadn't seen her for a while, but this girl seemed to have grown a lot taller? There is also a bit of meat on the cheeks, unlike when we met for the first time, the cheeks really had no meat at all, and the whole person was as thin as a dead branch.
When she gets fat like this, her facial features are clearer, and you can see that she is a delicate little girl.
He thought for a moment, and saw that the few little guys at the dinner table were eating with relish, and they were afraid that he would grab the food, so he put down his chopsticks quickly.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that he had come here just to experience the suffering of the people? Naturally, what they eat, they also eat. What's more, in retrospect, this thing really doesn't taste bad!
He also scrambled with him, praising the cook's good skills while eating.
Bo Zhong and the others were stunned, they didn't expect such an adult to grab food from a few of their children.
Several people looked at each other, and the action of eating was faster.
Su Heting also said during the meal: "I have eaten fried monkeys before, that one is not bad, you can still eat it pickled!" ”
Bo Zhong pursed his lips, "How can we have the time to catch the monkey?" There are so many people in the village who know about monkeys, and we can't catch many of them. ”
Su Heting was curious, "Why do you have time to catch this?" He listened to the chopsticks, how could he really grab something to eat with the children?
Bo Zhong pouted and said, "There are so many such things in the field, eat the crops!" "They don't have much in the field, so they go to the adjacent field to catch it, and they can't ask for it.
Su Heting frowned slightly, "There are a lot of these things in the crops?" Disaster? ”
Bo Zhong thought about it, didn't quite understand how many disasters there were, bit his chopsticks and said, "Anyway, there are a lot." ”
Su Heting looked at Yuan Ning, Yuan Ning searched in the memory of the original owner, shook his head and said, "It's not a disaster, this year's rain is okay." ”
Su Heting understood.
After eating, Su Heting and Yuan Ning discussed: "Girl, how about taking me out for a walk?" ”
Yuan Ning pretended to refuse: "This is not very good, right?" After all, there is a difference between men and women. ”
Su Heting smiled: "You still think a lot!" Rest assured, no one will gossip. "He is a tall adult man, Yuan Ning is just a little girl in her early tens, so when two people walk together, who can make bad remarks, that idea is too dirty.
Yuan Ning didn't say anything anymore, nodded in agreement, and asked, "What do you want to see?" ”
Su Heting pondered for a moment, "You can take me to your family's fruit grove for a spin." I won't delay you in your work. ”
