Chapter 5 Delicious
"Let's divide the grain. Seeing that everyone was seated, Old Man Zhu moved his throat and suppressed the excess secretions in his mouth.
Although the room was very quiet, for some reason, Ye Yuran had a feeling that everyone was cheering, and everyone stared at the chopsticks in her hand, and their eyes moved with the chopsticks.
"Everyone eats six first, don't rush to do it first, I'll teach you how to eat before you talk. ”
There were six of them on the plate in front of everyone.
Dabao and Erbao were a little small after all, and some couldn't help it, but when they reached out, they were slapped by Liu.
"Mother!" Dabao and Erbao were wronged, but they could only take it back.
Ye Yuran said to the Liu family: "Old family, you also use chopsticks to dip a little red sauce first, let Dabao and Erbao taste the taste, and see if they like it or not." ”
"Mother, you haven't eaten yet, how can you let the little one do it first?" Zhu Da said.
Ye Yuran glared at him: "You have a lot to do." I do what I say. ”
Old man Zhu: "Listen to your mother." ”
In fact, he also muttered, don't hurry up to eat, what is this for, torturing people?
It's just that his face has long been covered with wrinkles that have been sharpened by life, and even if he wants to laugh, he doesn't know what to do to show some joy.
After all, he has so many sons, although he is proud, he wants to feed them all, and he pays more than ordinary people.
"Yes, mother. Liu dipped his chopsticks in a little jam, and Dabao and Erbao scrambled to open their mouths.
Dabao: "It's sweet." ”
Erbao: "It's sour." ”
"Is it sour or sweet?" Li Shi looked at it with blank eyes, and saw that he couldn't get an answer to ask the two children, so he could only look at Ye Yuran, "Mother, I want to taste it too." ”
Ye Yuran ignored her and continued to ask her grandson: "Then do you like it?"
Dabao and Erbao nodded hurriedly: "I like it." ”
I can't wait to click a few more times to show how much I like it.
Ye Yuran estimated that there were no snacks in ancient times, although she felt that the jam on the plate was a bit of a failure, but for them, this was already a good taste that they couldn't usually eat.
So her previous consideration was right, eating this kind of thing can no longer be judged by the standards of the previous life, but needs to refer to everyone's opinions.
"If you like it!" she said, "Everyone, take a piece of bread out, like this, spread a little sauce on it, and then put a little shredded radish, and cover it with a cake ......."
While talking, demonstrate and teach everyone how to eat it correctly.
"So it's ready to eat. ”
As soon as the words fell, before she could say that this was one of the ways to eat, the people at the table couldn't wait and started to do it.
Ye Yuran: "......"
Could she be glad that she ate it in a split way? Otherwise, with their frantic appearance, she would not have been able to eat this meal.
Li even picked up the chopsticks and tasted the red sauce she had wanted to taste for a long time: "It turned out to be sweet and sour, no wonder Dabao and Erbao said one said it was sour and the other said it was sweet." ”
"How can it be sweet, is it sugar?"
Zhu Sidi moved quickly, and the dishes between the two cakes almost didn't leak, but his head was flexible, and he caught it directly with the bowl, and he wouldn't waste it.
Suddenly stuffed into the mouth, the sweet and sour taste of the jam is intertwined with the salty aroma of the shredded radish, and the aroma of the egg, the taste is simply amazing.
"Delicious!"
After three or four bites, he stuffed two cakes with vegetables into his mouth.
It's delicious, it's just too little, it's only six cakes, and it's over in a few bites.
Zhu Si looked at Li Si with blank eyes, and while no one was paying attention, he whispered to her, "Can you give me a piece of cake?"
Li has only eaten two cakes, and he likes them so much, where will he give them up?
She quickly covered her bowl and plate, and stared at him very vigilantly: "No! I eat two people with one mouth, absolutely not." ”
Dabao and Erbao ate a little embarrassed, they are still children, and their movements are a little inflexible, and it is impossible to do what adults do, completely take two cakes and wrap them in vegetables to eat.
When they had finished eating a loaf of bread, most of it was sprinkled into the bowl in front of them.
They also don't use chopsticks, they hold the bowl and grab it directly with their hands.
"Don't eat in such a hurry, this is bread, not porridge, eat too much to support your stomach. It's not that Ye Yuran said slowly, it's that they ate too fast, and she didn't even finish a piece of bread.
"Mother, I don't think it's that I can support my stomach, but everyone hasn't eaten at all. ”
Zhu San's portion was also finished, and he, like Zhu Si, could only look at the other people who hadn't finished eating.
The most excessive thing is that Zhu Si has a daughter-in-law, so he can still ask his daughter-in-law to ask for it, and his daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' house, and it is difficult for him to find someone to ask for.
Ye Yuran ate the last bite of the first cake, took two more cakes, tore them into pieces and put them in the bowl, scooped some shredded radishes and soup into it, and then slowly redistributed two cakes to everyone, except for Dabao and Erbao.
While dividing, she said: "If you don't have enough to eat, you can eat it differently, tear up the soup, drink more soup, and eat less cakes." There is only so much food at home, so many mouths at home, and there is still so much time before the autumn harvest, if you don't save some food, and there is no food to eat during the autumn harvest, where will you have the strength to work?"
In the end, she doesn't want everyone to eat with an open stomach, even if she has a "golden finger", it will take time.
can only "wrong" them temporarily, and when her golden finger really works, let them eat when the time comes. I'm afraid that by then, they won't want to eat anymore.
Everyone was disappointed, but they also knew that their mother was telling the truth.
The cake is not like porridge, it is made of real grain, and my mother made such a big basket, and must have used a lot of food.
If you finish one meal, you really don't know where the next meal will be.
Especially during the autumn harvest, if you don't have enough to eat, you won't have the strength to work.
The reason why Zhu San's daughter-in-law Zhang Yan ran back to her parents' house at this time was because the Zhu family only drank porridge, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she was going back to her parents' house to "mix" a few full meals, and then come back.
Because it was the last two cakes, Zhu San and Zhu Si ate very sparingly, and they didn't dare to follow their mother's example, so they directly tore two cakes into it, but only tore one piece.
I am not in a hurry to eat it, I drink the soup slowly, eat it with shredded radish, and if I accidentally catch the broken cake, put the larger one back, and forget the smaller one, and eat it together.
In fact, when the cake is soft, it melts, and when it is mixed with radish soup, it is similar to drinking porridge.
After drinking two bowls of radish soup with bread foam in a row, everyone suddenly felt - so full!
It's been a long time since I've had such a hearty meal, and if only this could be done, wouldn't it be great?
Of course, this is just a thought.
Ye Yuran noticed that although Zhu Qi was a fool, he didn't seem to be as "clumsy" as the original owner remembered. He didn't need to be fed, so he sat quietly at the end of the table, holding his bowl and eating slowly.
Take the cake, spread the jam, pick up the vegetables, and drink the soup......
He was just a little slower and clumsy than everyone else, but he didn't waste a bit of food and was able to take care of himself himself.
