Looking at Tian Zhuo's bright eyes and Tian Baobao's eyes that kept glancing at her, Tian Tian curled her lips and said, "This is really well roasted, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, even the bones are roasted crispy. With this skill, you can become a chef in the future."
Tian Baobao's mouth corners slightly raised, and he straightened his chest calmly, and said to Qiao Er: "If you like to eat, I will roast a few more sparrows for you later."
"Then I'll wait for your roasted sparrow!" Tian Tian patted Tian Baobao's shoulder encouragingly, wrapped the sparrow with a missing leg in her hand with a handkerchief, and put it in her pocket.
"Why don't you eat?" Tian Baobao was very happy to hear Tian Tian praising him, but the next moment he saw Tian Tian put away his roasted sparrows.
"Something so delicious must be savored slowly. We're about to eat, so I'll eat it before going to bed at night!" Tian Tian said seriously.
This roasted sparrow was really disgusting. Not only was the feathers not plucked clean, but they didn't even add any seasoning when roasting it. She only ate one leg and it was so fishy. She would wait until she got back to her own little room and dip the rest in some seasoning before eating it.
Tian Tian didn't think of throwing away the roasted sparrows. It was a token of love from Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo.
In this day and age, roasted sparrows are one of the few meats that children can eat. Tian Zhuo and Tian Baobao were willing to give her a sparrow, so Tian Tian would not throw it away without knowing what was good for her.
Tian Baobao got a satisfactory answer, and he and Tian Zhuo squatted beside him to help Tian Tian pick small roots of garlic.
Although they were a little naughty, they were used to the work and their hands and feet were nimble. The three of them quickly picked all the garlic roots.
Just then, Tian Lisong and the others came back, so Tian Tian cleaned the table and prepared to eat.
When Chen Guihua came back, she went into the house and lifted the pot. Her eyes lit up when she saw the eggplant and potato shreds soup in the pot. She loved Tian Tian's cooking so much. Not only was it delicious, but the soup she made every night was always filling. After drinking it, she didn't need to drink water to fill her stomach at night and could sleep well.
Old Mrs. Tian just came out of the east room. When she saw Chen Guihua lifting the lid of the pot, her face darkened. "Eat, eat, eat! All you think about the whole day is eating. When you come back, you can't wait to get into the pot. Our Tian family is missing a bite of you. Look at you, you starving ghost!"
Chen Guihua felt a little aggrieved. She had worked all day and had not been lazy. The work points she had earned were enough to match that of a thin man. She came back and lifted the lid of the pot to see what was wrong with the food.
"Mom! Can we eat now? I'm starving!" Tian Lilin heard Chen Guihua being scolded again outside and hurried in to smooth things over.
Old Mrs. Tian wasn't really dissatisfied with Chen Guihua, she just said it casually. Today, when she saw Chen Guihua's useless look, she blurted it out.
Originally, Old Mrs. Tian had calmed down, but when she turned around and saw Chen Guihua looking aggrieved, she became furious again. Why did she act like a wicked mother-in-law?
"What are you doing standing here? Wash your hands and serve food! Even wood is more flexible than you!"
After hearing this, Chen Guihua hurried out to wash her hands and get busy.
When they sat at the table to serve the rice, Chen Guihua took the lead in picking up the rice spoon and bowl and scooped a large bowl of dry food for Tian Baobao.
In other families, the mother is the one who cooks and distributes food to everyone. Each person has a fixed amount to drink. Men can drink more and women can drink less.
There is no such rule in Grandma Tian's family. During the previous famine, in order to ensure that everyone in the family eats the same amount, Grandma Tian was the one who cooked and served everyone rice.
Later, the famine was over and the harvest was good. Everyone served their own food for every meal so that they wouldn't complain about others if they had a little more or less.
"Hmph!" Old Mrs. Tian saw this and snorted coldly, but she didn't say anything to Chen Guihua. Although what Chen Guihua scooped out were all dry food, she still served Tian Baobao according to the child's appetite and didn't go too far.
After all, he is Chen Guihua's son, and it is not wrong to want her son to eat more.
"Mom!" Chen Guihua smiled ingratiatingly at Old Lady Tian, and served another bowl of soup to her.
Everyone at the table looked at each other and picked up their spoons to scoop soup for themselves.
Tian Tian didn't serve herself much. She would have something to eat when she returned to her room at night, so she didn't plan to share the already small amount of soup with them, allowing the others to eat more.
"Tian Tian, why did you only serve so little? Is it enough? Give yourself more." Lin Meiyu asked when she saw that Tian Tian's bowl was full of soup, and reached out to add some dry food for Tian Tian.
Everyone at the table immediately looked into Tian Tian's bowl and saw that the soup was indeed watery.
"Mom, I don't need it. I ate a lot of roasted chestnuts in the afternoon. I'm not hungry." Tian Tian hid back holding the bowl.
"Weren't you feeling uncomfortable in the afternoon? Ghosts are afraid of evil people and illnesses are afraid of being full. Eat more and have a good sleep, and you'll be better tomorrow." Old Mrs. Tian also said.
? !
"Are you unhappy again this afternoon?" Lin Meiyu reached out to touch Tian Tian's head worriedly.
Why has this child been in so many troubles lately?
Tian Tian obediently let Lin Meiyu check her temperature.
"I'm really fine. I'll be almost well by the time I get home." Tian Tian looked at everyone's concerned eyes and assured them again and again, almost swearing to the sky. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Lin Meiyu poured another large spoonful of soup into Tian Tian's bowl before going to eat her own meal.
Tian Tian looked at her bowl of soup and sighed sadly.
Although her family was wealthy, they could not eat full every day. Except for the busiest days during the autumn harvest, they could only eat 60% to 70% full the rest of the time.
Tian Tian didn't do any work all day, but she ate so much at night that she felt a little embarrassed.
She finished the soup in the bowl, passed some to Tian Zhuo, put the bowl on the table and said, "Dad, Mom, I can't eat anymore."
Despite repeated questioning by Lin Meiyu and Tian Lisong, Tian Tian still firmly said that she was full.
Tian Zhuo looked at Tian Tian worriedly. He knew that Tian Tian had only drunk a few sips of the soup. He opened his mouth to complain, but Tian Tian quickly covered his mouth.
Tian Tian quietly pointed to her pocket.
Tian Zhuo suddenly realized that Tian Tian also had roasted sparrows!
No wonder my sister doesn’t want to drink the soup. If there was meat to eat, I wouldn’t want to drink the soup either.
Tian Zhuo felt a little greedy when thinking about the roasted sparrows, so he took a big gulp of the soup to satisfy his craving.
After finishing their meal and washing the dishes, it was already dark. There was no electricity at night and nothing to pass the time, so the Tian family all went to sleep on the kang.
Tian Tian locked the door of her room, covered her hungry stomach and ate the snail shell.
She can enter and exit the snail shell at will. When her consciousness enters the space, her body outside is like sleeping.
When her body entered the snail shell, she could also move inside the snail shell with the shell, but this way of moving was extremely slow, especially now that there were many things in the shell and she couldn't move it, so it was even slower.
