Chapter 14 Fried Corn
The sun had risen overhead, and the two squirrels were helpless against a corn larger than them in the sun outside the hut. The owner of the cabin was still lying on that bed, so weak that he could no longer cough loudly.
"Do you know how to get these things down?" He Shibi pointed to the rows of corn kernels tightly embedded in the corn and asked Lan Duo. Landuo's head shook like a wave drum, and the flesh on his face was the waves.
He Shibi looked around for tools that could be used, and then quickly ran to an axe, but unfortunately, it couldn't lift it with all its might. Every tool in the tool room, even the handle, was as thick and heavy as the trunk of a weeping willow to them, and none of them were Lu Zhishen.
Eventually, He's got a nail from the corner, and it was just a good thing for him. It inserts the nail into the gap between the corn kernels, and then presses itself on one end of the nail and uses the lever principle to warp it hard, and a corn kernel reluctantly falls off the corn, and then it inserts the nail into the gap between the corn kernels again, and pries the corn kernels off with all its strength. Lan Duo lay on the corn, helped it fix the corn, did not let the corn roll everywhere, while He Shibi was not paying attention, it reached out and grabbed a fallen corn kernel, and wanted to stuff it into its mouth, but glanced at He Shibi, who was very hard, swallowed and put the corn kernel back.
"Your strength is too small to do such a thing." I said to it.
It thrust the nail into the corn again, and its hand had already worn off the hair, "If the strength of a person is a thousand, and my strength is one, then they can do a task that can be completed once, as long as I am willing to do it a thousand times, I can also complete it, right?" With that, he continued to stick the nail into the corn with all his might.
A grain of corn refused to come down, and it jumped up and slammed into the end of the nail, relying on inertia and gravity to pry it off, and at the same time the nail flew out, slashing through Lando's head and sticking into the dirt in front of it. The corn kernels that Lan Duo had just held in his hand were scared away. "Look at the nails! It just wanted to kill me! ”
He Shibi's palms quickly wore out, but they only peeled half of a corn. Kehe Shibi didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, until the nails were also covered in blood.
Lan Duo glanced at He Shibi distressedly, and took a bite of it, the bite force of the foodie was very amazing, it directly gnawed the corn kernels off the corn, and then threw the corn kernels back with its mouth.
"Is that really okay?" The addition of Rando sped up their efficiency, even though Randot contributed only half of the total amount it had gnawed.
"It will work! I remember that my grandfather's little grandson made a plate of fried corn for him, and my grandfather was happy for a long time. "He's blood has been trickling down the nails. Lan Duo pushed away He's Bi, used his teeth as a chisel like a hungry wild boar, and gnawed off the corn kernels like a big move. I have to say that a foodie's mouth is a very powerful tool. Landuo's efficiency is much faster than He's Bi's, and although it seems that Landuo doesn't have a good time dealing with erected corn, when it can't hold on, the peeled corn is enough for one person to eat.
"Thank you!" He Shibi picked up the large pile of corn that had been peeled off and patted Lan Duo on the shoulder, Lan Duo lowered his head and smiled, his mouth frayed.
He Shibi put the corn into a carton that he found out of nowhere, and put the carton on top of his head, and Landuo followed behind it, but he didn't say "hey... Hey...", its mouth was swollen to the point where it couldn't speak.
In fact, for two palm-sized squirrels, frying corn is a super project. First of all, they had to throw out the mushroom soup that they had so hard to cook in the morning, because the old hunter only had that pot at home. From a human perspective, that's the equivalent of two people scooping up an entire pool of water with an unpowered excavator, and by the time they're done, the sun is about to set.
But that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that they're going to "fry" corn. And for the two squirrels who have passed the level and have taken a ready-to-eat life, fire itself is a taboo, let alone cooking.
Can you imagine the consequences of a bear child who never cooks and cooks? If this bear child has never seen how to cook, then the "thing" he made for the first time is probably his own mother will hesitate to eat it, right? What if the bear child's brain is not fully developed and does not think from a human perspective? I'm afraid his mother won't dare to eat the "things" he made. And He's Bi and Lan Duo are just two bear children who have never seen cooking, have incomplete brain development, and don't think about problems from a human perspective.
After all the water in the pot was boiled, they didn't even put the oil, and Heshi Bi poured all the corn kernels into the pot. The huge pot and spoon were held by He's Bi and slowly stirred the stars in the pot in an awkward manner.
When humans cook, they put some powder in it, but what is the powder? In the non-human mind, fine sand equals powder, and powder equals condiment, then...... Sprinkle it in...... What is white powder? The skin of the wall is crumpled and looks like it..... Sprinkle it in......
When it really came out of the pot, the plate of fried corn paste was raw, mixed with white wall skin and gray fine sand.
"Dark Cuisine" was laboriously carried by the two little ones to the old hunter's pillow. He Shibi gently patted the old hunter's cheek, and then pulled Lan Duo to quickly hide under the old hunter's bed.
The old hunter's eyes were slit, and his hound-like nose sniffed, and at once he spotted the plate of fried corn beside the pillow. The old hunter's eyes immediately widened.
"Ling'er?" He struggled to sit up, his eyes full of incredulity, and hurriedly looked around the house, and then looked around, as if looking for someone's shadow.
"Ling'er!" His thin body as a piece of paper struggled to move off the bed, and he didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran out of the door tremblingly, "You're back, aren't you?!" You're coming to see me, aren't you? Come out, Ling'er. ”
The cold wind blew through the forest, and there was a lonely rustle in the forest, and no one answered the cry of the old hunter. The old hunter looked around eagerly, refusing to spare any corner, and kept calling out his little grandson's name, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Come out, Ling'er, are you right here! Come out...... Grandpa misses you so much. The old hunter's slumped body moved to the backyard, and his eyes could no longer contain a steady stream of tears. Let me see you! Even if it's just a glance......" The old hunter threw himself on his knees in front of the mound in the backyard, tears streaming down the slingshot that had been placed in front of the mound, and the strange pictures of stones on the ground were disturbed by his trembling hands.
The old hunter wept like a child, and knelt down in front of the mound to recite the name of his little grandson. Crying and crying, the old hunter's eyes slowly closed, and he fainted.
He Shibi lay on the window edge of the wooden house, lowered his head and glanced at the fried corn that had not moved a mouthful by the old hunter's bed, and then looked at the old hunter who had fainted on the ground, jumped off the window edge, and lifted the old hunter's hands with both hands, but its strength was too small to lift it at all. A red paper talisman burned in the hand of the air dream, and two red rays of light poured out from the burning red paper talisman and merged into the bodies of He's Bi and Landuo, and He's bi and Landuo's bodies immediately became much larger, and their strength also increased proportionally with the increase in their bodies. It wasn't until they carried the old hunter back to bed that they reverted to their original ways.
Tilting his head to look at the old hunter with a weak breath for a long time, He Shibi suddenly bowed to us with his hands folded. "Immortals!" It suddenly grabbed the corner of Yume's coat, although it didn't catch anything, "Please make me look like grandpa's grandson, okay?" He Shibi's eyes sparkled.
I also looked at her inquiringly, "Is that okay?" ”
"Your body is too small to withstand such a large body and spells. That would cost you half your life. ”
"If you can, you can give your whole life too." He Shibi wanted to kneel down like an old hunter, but its body did not allow it to kneel in this position, so it crawled on the ground with its whole body.
Dream was silent for a moment, "It's only five minutes, and if you don't want the old hunter to see that you've been transformed from his grandson into a squirrel, you have to come out before the time is up." ”
"Thank you, gods!" He Shibi's eyes were full of crystal light, but there was a trace of doubt in an instant, "How long is five minutes?" ”
"The time it took for Randot to finish eating twenty fruits."
Lying on the ground desperately gnawing on the fruit that had been conjured before, Lan Duo ate an unknown fruit in more than ten seconds, and immediately pricked up his ears when he heard someone mention it, and smiled embarrassedly at He's Bi, and his swollen mouth made a vague voice, "I'll eat slower in the future......"
The afterglow of the sun was robbed of its last rays by the fierce night, and Dream took out her red living book, tore a blue note from it, and in silent thought, the blue light played a short overture to the arrival of night......
