Chapter 99 Are you afraid that she won’t hear?

"Let's share the food." Old Man Zhu saw that everyone was seated and moved his throat to suppress the excess secretions in his mouth.

Although the room was very quiet, for some reason, Ye Yuran felt like everyone was cheering. Everyone was staring at the chopsticks in her hand, their eyes moving with the chopsticks.

"Everyone should eat six first. Don't rush into it yet. I'll teach you how to eat it later."

There were six on the plate in front of everyone.

After all, Dabao and Erbao were a little young and couldn't help it. Just as they stretched out their hands, Mrs. Liu slapped them in the face.

"Mom!" Dabao and Erbao felt wronged, but they could only take it back.

Ye Yuran said to Mrs. Liu: "My dear, please dip your chopsticks into some red sauce first and let Dabao and Erbao taste it to see if they like it."

"Mom, you haven't eaten yet, how can you let the little one take the initiative?" Zhu Da said.

Ye Yuran glared at him: "You are the only one who has many things to do. You can do whatever I tell you."

Old Man Zhu: "Listen to your mother."

In fact, he also muttered a little guilty, if he didn't hurry up and eat, what was he doing, was he torturing people?

It's just that his face has long been covered with wrinkles sharpened by life. Even if he wants to smile, 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 support them all and has to pay more than ordinary people.

"Yes, mother." Mrs. Liu dipped her chopsticks into some jam, and Dabao and Erbao rushed to open their mouths.

Dabao: "It's sweet."

Erbao: "It's sour."

"Is it sour or sweet?" Mrs. Li looked at it eagerly. Seeing that the two children couldn't get an answer, she could only look at Ye Yuran, "Mom, I want to try it too."

Ye Yuran ignored her and continued to ask her grandson: "Do you like it?"

Dabao and Erbao nodded quickly: "I like it."

I wish I could click a few more times to show how much I like it.

Ye Yuran estimated that there were not many snacks in ancient times. Although she felt that the jam on the plate was a bit failed, to them, it was already a good taste that they could not usually eat.

So her previous consideration was right. We can no longer judge food by the standards of the previous life, but need to refer to everyone's opinions.

"As long as you like it!" she said, "My dear, take out a piece of cake, like this, put some sauce on it, then add some shredded radish, and cover it with another piece of cake..."

While talking, he demonstrated and taught everyone how to eat it correctly.

"This way you can eat it."

As soon as she finished speaking, before she could say that this was one of the ways to eat it, people at the table couldn't wait and started taking action.

Ye Yuran: "..."

Can she be grateful that she shared the food? Otherwise, with their frantic fighting, she would definitely not be able to eat the meal.

Ms. Li even picked up her chopsticks and tasted the red sauce she had long wanted to taste: "It turns out to be sour and sweet. No wonder Dabao and Erbao said one said it was sour and the other said it was sweet."

"How come it's sweet? Did you put sugar in it?"

Zhu Si's movements were so fast that the food sandwiched between the two pancakes almost didn't leak out, but his quick thinking allowed him to catch it directly with a bowl, so it wouldn't be wasted.

Pop it into your mouth suddenly, the sweet and sour taste of jam intertwined with the salty aroma of shredded radish, and the aroma of eggs, the taste is simply amazing.

"tasty!"

After three or four bites, he stuffed two pancakes with vegetables into his mouth.

It was delicious, but it was too little. There were only six pieces of cake, and it was finished in just a few bites.

Zhu Si looked at Mrs. Li eagerly, and when no one was paying attention, he whispered to her: "Can you give me a piece of cake?"

Mrs. Li had only finished two pieces of cake, but she liked them so much that she couldn't bear to part with them.

She quickly covered her bowl and plate protectively, and stared at him very vigilantly: "No! I am eating for two people with one mouth. This is absolutely not allowed."

Dabao and Erbao ate a little awkwardly. They are still children and their movements are not very flexible. It is impossible for them to take two pieces of cake and wrap vegetables to eat like adults.

After one piece of bread was finished, most of it was spilled into the bowl in front of them.

They don't use chopsticks, they just grab the bowl with their hands.

"Don't eat in such a hurry. This is cake, not porridge. Eat too much to fill your stomach." It wasn't that Ye Yuran spoke slowly, it was because they ate so fast that she didn't even finish one piece of cake.

"Mom, I think it's not that it will fill your stomach, but that everyone is not full at all."

Zhu San had also finished his portion. Like Zhu Si, he could only look longingly at the others who hadn't finished yet.

The most outrageous thing is that Zhu Si has a wife, so he can still ask his wife for begging. But when his wife returns to her parents' home, it is difficult for him to find someone to beg for.

Ye Yuran ate the last bite of the first piece of cake, took two more pieces of cake, tore them into pieces and put them into the bowl, scooped some shredded radish and soup into it, and then slowly redistributed two pieces to everyone.

Zhang Cake, in addition to Dabao and Erbao.

As she divided it, she said: "If you are not full, eat it in a different way, tear it up and soak it in the soup. Drink more soup and less cake. There is only so much food in the house, so many mouths in the house, and there is still so much time before the autumn harvest."

If you don’t save time and eat, if there is no food to eat in the autumn harvest, how will you find the strength to work?"

After all, she doesn't want everyone to eat with open stomachs. Even if she has a "golden finger", it still takes time.

She can only "aggrieve" them for the time being, and wait until her golden finger really works, and then let them eat enough. I'm afraid that by then, they won't want to eat anymore.

Everyone felt disappointed, but they also knew that what the mother told was the truth.

Pancakes are no different from porridge. They are made from real grains. My mother must have used a lot of grains to make such a big basket.

If you finish one meal, you really don’t know where your next meal will be.

Especially during the autumn harvest, if you don’t have enough food, you won’t have the energy to work.

The reason why Zhu San's daughter-in-law Zhang Yan ran back to her parents' home at this time was because the Zhu family only ate porridge, and she couldn't stand it anymore. She planned to go back to her parents' home to "have a few good meals" and then come back.

Because it was the last two cakes, Zhu San and Zhu Si both ate very frugally. They did not dare to imitate their mothers and just tear two cakes in, but only tore one piece.

Don't rush to eat, just drink the soup slowly and eat it with shredded radish. If you accidentally get some broken cakes, put the bigger ones back, forget about the smaller ones and eat them together.

In fact, when the cake is soaked and soft, it melts, and when mixed with the radish soup, it is almost like eating porridge.

After drinking two bowls of radish soup with pancake foam, everyone suddenly felt - so full!

It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a fun meal. How great would it be if I could do this every time?

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 anyone to feed him, he just sat quietly at the end of the table, holding his own bowl.

Eat slowly.

Get cakes, spread jam, pick up vegetables, drink soup...
