Chapter 130: The Craving for a Staple Food
Tian Qiaoling took out a round melon from the fourth aunt's basket, put it in the basin, and washed it carefully.
Tian Xiuzhu sniffed hard a few times. "It really smells. Our muskmelons are more fragrant than the melons of the eggs. ”
Tian Erniu nodded in agreement.
Tian Junling praised: "I think the fourth aunt is very good. No one knew how to plant it, but it was the first time that the fourth aunt had planted so well. Only smart people can figure it out, ordinary people can't understand it. ”
Under the praise of the children, Shen Yunxi wiped the bone knife clean, put the melon on the small table, and cut it gently.
The yellow skin of the melon is split in half. The golden melon pulp inside was revealed. The sweetness on the face made everyone drool and swallow without stopping.
Shen Yunxi hurriedly cut the melon into small pieces. The child looked greedy and said, "Eat quickly!"
Tian Xiuzhu hurriedly picked up a piece of melon and put it on Shen Yunxi's mouth.
Shen Yunxi took a bite and said, "It's delicious." You should eat quickly! Qiaoling, Junling, you're welcome. Your mother is not at home. We also left some melons in the pot for your mother to eat. ”
"Thank you, auntie." After listening to the words of the fourth aunt, Tian Qiaoling and Tian Junling hurriedly picked up the melon and ate it.
After a while, a melon was shared by several people. In fact, only a small fraction was shared by one person.
Shen Yunxi saw that everyone was not having fun, so he took out a croissant honey from the basin and cut it open. The rest are waiting for Zheng Guizhen's sister-in-law to come back.
After eating the two melons, although it is not yet enjoyable, it is already very satisfied.
Tian Xiuzhu gently snuggled in Shen Yunxi's arms: "Mother, can we eat melons every day?"
Shen Yunxi nodded: "Of course you can eat every day." But remember, we can only eat two melons a day!"
Tian Daniu listened, shook his head and said, "Mother, let's eat one." I don't eat it, I leave it to my sister and sister. Let's save it up and sell it. ”
Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "Da Niu, it's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you, it's just that this melon is cold." You can eat a little every day to relieve the heat, but not too much. If you eat too much, you'll have diarrhea!"
There are so many melons in the field, the children can eat as much as they want, but they can't eat more.
Tian Qiaoling thought for a while: "Fourth aunt, these melons are so sweet. It's okay to take a bite of fragrant food every day. You can't eat them as a meal. If you have too much diarrhea, you will feel uncomfortable and you will have to pay to see a doctor. Let's save up the rest of the melons and sell them together to buy grain, rice, and bread. Wouldn't it be better?"
Tian Qiaoling's words were approved and nodded by everyone.
Tian Erniu said: "Mother, I also want to eat cakes." It would be nice if you could add some stir-fried meat dishes. ”
"I want rice and scrambled eggs!"
"I want to eat sesame cakes!"
"I want to eat white and big buns!"
......
The children talked about the various foods they liked, and their cravings for staples outweighed pompous snacks.
"Well, when we get the baskets, I'll pick them off and pull them in the ox cart to sell the melons!" Shen Yunxi also wanted to sell what he had grown as soon as possible, so that he could buy what he needed.
Not only food, but also clothing, as well as useful things.
Zheng Guizhen came back from hunting. She was out of luck today. Only one pheasant was caught.
Shen Yunxi directly washed and cut the melons in the basin, gave half of them to Zheng Guizhen, and cut the remaining half into small pieces for the children to eat.
Zheng Guizhen stretched out her hand and handed it to Shen Yunxi
"We've already eaten. You can eat this!" Shen Yunxi didn't answer, picked up the pheasant in front of him, "I'll pluck out the chicken feathers and drink chicken soup at night." ”
Zheng Guizhen nodded: "Whatever you want!"
