The four little ones eagerly took it in their hands, looking at the snail meat, but they felt a little unable to start.
Li Tannian took a bamboo stick from under the stove, picked out the snail meat in front of them, removed the internal organs at the top, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The four little ones stared at her intently, watching her hand over the bamboo sticks, and they all followed her example in selecting snail meat.
When the snail meat enters your mouth, the soft and fragrant flavor spreads between your lips and teeth.
"I didn't expect the snails to be so delicious." Lu Dabao was a little surprised. Not many people eat the snails in the village because they are too fishy, but the snails made by the stepmother not only have no fishy smell, but also taste delicious.
!
"Stepmother, how do you know there is so much to eat?" Sanya's eyes were full of hope. If these snails were bought on the street, many people would buy them.
Erbaoba chirped a few times: "Next time, I will pick up more snails and bring them back, they are so delicious." It was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue!
Xiaosi Bao was the youngest, but he also ate the fastest. As soon as he finished eating, he pulled on Li Tannian's skirt and asked for the snails.
Li Tannian took out a plate, handed it to Lu Dabao, and gave strict instructions: "Little Si Bao can only eat two, and there is bone soup to drink at night. Don't let him accumulate food again."
Lu Dabao nodded quickly, and Li Tannian stewed bone soup in the pot again, and told Lu Dabao to watch the fire, and then he went out with a hunting snare and an ax on his back.
Erbao and Sanya each grabbed a small handful of snails and hurriedly followed them out.
Now, when they followed Li Tannian out again, they no longer had to ask her if it was okay. Li Tannian also acquiesced to these two little tails.
The three ladies didn't go far when they met Liu Jinhua, who was returning from washing clothes with a wooden basin. Their eyes met, and a trace of resentment flashed in Liu Jinhua's eyes.
When Li Tannian passed by, she couldn't help but snorted.
Li Tannian turned to look at her, and Liu Jinhua seemed to have thought of some bad memory. She quickly quickened her pace and walked straight for a long distance. Then she turned back and spat: "Wait for me, wait for Huba's father to come back, look."
How can he deal with you!"
Li Tannian stamped his feet, but before he could turn around, Huwa's surprised voice came from behind him: "Mom, why are you running so fast?"
Li Tannian:······
When Erbao and Sanya saw that Liu Jinhua was afraid of what happened, they couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.
The three of them entered the mountain. Li Tannian first put the hunting snare in place, and then took two small bean sprouts to chop bamboo. Just now they ate it themselves. Naturally, they could poke the meat with skewers and eat it, but if they wanted to sell it, they still had to cook it.
Some clean signs came out.
The bamboos in the mountains are ownerless, and you can cut down as many as you want.
Li Tannian cut down the largest one, cut the bamboo into four small pieces, bundled it with vines from the mountain, and took it down the mountain.
There are still a lot of spring bamboo shoots in this season. Li Tannian wanted to chop some more spring bamboo shoots back, but it was getting dark, so she had to come again next time.
In the evening, Li Tannian went to the mountainside to pick some artemisia and brought it back to stew the bones.
When going down the mountain, he was about to encounter a patch of artemisia annua. Li Tannian thought about the big bone soup simmering in the pot, so he pinched a handful of artemisia annua.
The Artemisia annua in April is lush and green, and if she picks a large branch at random, it will still be tender.
When the three mothers returned to the house and took out the bamboo sticks, Li Tannian stewed the artemisia and big bones together.
In addition, she kneaded dough and spread out a basin of pancakes.
The big bone and artemisia soup not only relieves greasiness, but also has a unique fragrance. With the noodles, the four little ones drank two or three bowls of the big bone and artemisia soup.
After eating and drinking enough, Li Tannian felt exhausted after a long day.
After hastily washing up, she went back to her room to rest, but while she was asleep, the door to her room was pushed open.
Li Tannian turned around and saw Xiao Sibao walking toward her on tiptoes.
Li Tannian stared at the little guy blankly, speechless for a moment, then saw him carefully lifting off her quilt and stuffing himself directly onto her bed.
Then, a shallow and long breathing sound came from the quilt.
Li Tannian:······
She has never seen someone who rubs the bed so contentedly.
In order to prevent the little guy from being out of breath after being in the quilt for a long time, Li Tannian tried to reach out and lift his small body up.
If the sleeping little Si Bao felt something, he jumped directly into her arms and rubbed her chest hard before falling asleep again.
Li Tannian curled his lips, thinking that he still knew how to climb up the pole, and smelled a pungent sour smell coming from his hair.
Needless to say, she also knew how much they sweated while playing latticework during the day.
It seems that it's time for me to make some saponin oil for them. This hygiene must be done well. It would be bad if they get lice.
After thinking about it, Li Tannian gradually fell asleep.
The next day, before dawn, she got up from the bed, and the little guy hugged her tightly.
Li Tannian wanted to go directly to the town, but was afraid that he would cry when he woke up, so he carefully carried him to the east room.
The three little ones in the house woke up when she came in. Erbao and Sanya were afraid that she would be like yesterday, so they quietly went to the town alone and got dressed in a hurry.
"What are you doing up here? There's no need to sell mats today." Sanya couldn't help but snorted when she saw Erbao getting dressed.
She wanted to accompany her stepmother to the town alone, so that she could talk to her stepmother more.
"You can go, why can't I go?" Erbao was dissatisfied.
"You are a sissy snatcher." Sanya pursed her lips.
When Lu Dabao heard his younger brothers and sisters quarreling, he was about to get up and stop it when Li Tannian stuffed a small dumpling into his arms.
Lu Dabao was startled. He looked at the little four treasures in his arms, then at Li Tannian, and he understood immediately.
My little brother sneaked into Li Tannian's house yesterday.
"Isn't my little brother next to you last night? Why don't you know he left?" Sanya looked at Erbao belatedly.
Erbao glanced at Sanya depressedly: "It's like he's not next to you." The younger brother used to sleep between him and his sister, and the younger sister didn't notice that the younger brother had run away, so why did he have to find out.
The two little guys glared at each other, and finally looked at Little Si Bao, who was sleeping on the bed.
They finally understood that the younger brother was the real one who stole the girl!
