As Tian Tian smelled it, she couldn't help swallowing.
At this time, Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo also ran over and looked at the soybean meal inside the sack with greedy looks on their faces.
Even Chen Guihua came into the room and stared at the sack.
Old Mrs. Tian was not surprised at all. She gave each of them a handful of soybean meal and said, "Take it as a snack!"
Tian Tian held a handful of soybean meal in her hands blankly, feeling a little dazed, but she watched Tian Baobao and the others happily stuffing the soybean meal into their mouths and smelling the fragrance of the soybean meal in their hands.
Tian Tian couldn't help swallowing and took a small bite of the soybean meal. It was crispy and had the aroma of grains.
Old Mrs. Tian grabbed a handful of soybean meal and said, "This year's soybean meal is really good. It smells good."
Seeing that Tian Tian and the others were all given soybean meal and eating it with such relish, Chen Guihua swallowed her saliva and finally couldn't help but said, "Mom! You think soybean meal looks so good, but I don't know what it tastes like. How about I try it first?"
Old Mrs. Tian glared at Chen Guihua and said, "What are you trying to taste? You are a mother and an aunt, and you have the nerve to stare at the little food in your son and nephew's hands. Aren't you ashamed?"
Chen Guihua smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to ask for it, but she still stared at Tian Baobao and the others, swallowing her saliva.
Seeing that Chen Guihua had calmed down, Old Lady Tian withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and said to Lin Meiyu, "Go pour out the rice in the mortar outside and pound the soybean dregs into flour. We will make soybean flour pancakes tonight."
This bean flour cake is real dry food, which can satisfy your hunger much better than those vegetable soups and vegetables. After hearing this, Lin Meiyu happily agreed and prepared to go out to pound the rice. After hearing this, Chen Guihua's eyes rolled and she followed him out.
But Tian Baobao stared at Grandma Tian blankly, "Grandma, what should I do with the rice I pounded?"
Old Mrs. Tian glanced at Tian Baobao and said, "It's impossible to make it today anyway. You can pound the rice tomorrow morning and grandma will make it for you in the afternoon."
Tian Baobao didn't care when Grandma Tian said she would do it. He just nodded obediently when he heard Grandma Tian say she would do it for him. Anyway, Grandma Tian had promised him and never broke her word, so he wasn't worried that Grandma Tian would lie to him.
The soybean meal is crispy and easy to pound into flour. Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua do this job frequently and they get the hang of it very quickly.
In particular, Chen Guihua was anxious to eat the bean flour dry food, so she waved her pounding hands without feeling tired, and soon pounded the soybean dregs into bean flour.
Tian Tian doesn’t know how to make bean flour pancakes, so Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua made them. They are not much different from ordinary pancakes, except that bean flour pancakes seem to be a little harder.
While the two of them were making bean flour pancakes, Tian Tian stewed a big pot of eggplant, potato and beans. When Lin Meiyu finished making the bean flour pancakes, she went straight to the edge of the pot and surrounded it.
While waiting for the bean flour cakes to be made, Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo both brought a small stool and stood beside the stove, saying they would watch the fire for them.
Tian Baobao was also an expert at making fire. Seeing him watching there, Lin Meiyu and the others went out to do other things.
The big pot soon started to boil and the bean flour cakes inside were all pasted in place.
When Lin Meiyu lifted the lid of the pot, steam rushed towards her face. Soon, no one could be seen in the entire kitchen, which was filled with steam.
Tian Tian opened the door wide for a while before all the steam dissipated.
Lin Meiyu used a spatula to scrape off all the bean flour pancakes that were stuck to the edge of the pot and put them in a basin. She saw that the side of the pancakes that was stuck to the pot looked browned and crispy.
"It's time to eat! Tiantian, go set the table and get some bowls and chopsticks." Lin Meiyu said as she served the food out of the pot.
"Tian Baobao, go to the mountain and call your father back!" Chen Guihua stared at the pancakes and vegetables, swallowing her saliva, and instructed Tian Baobao.
After Tian Lilin got the food, he went up the mountain to chop firewood and hasn't returned home yet.
Tian Baobao was drooling as he stared at the bean flour cake. After hearing what Chen Guihua said, he ran outside.
Because of Tian Baobao's urgency, Tian Lilin was quickly found by Tian Baobao.
The family waited until Tian Lilin arrived before starting to eat.
The Tian family had been eating soup for a long time, and finally had a dry meal. Everyone had a full stomach.
Even Tian Tian, who always had a small appetite in front of everyone, ate one and a half bean flour cakes.
The bean flour cake looks very similar to corn flour on the outside, but it has a slightly harder and crumbly texture than corn flour. It also tastes like soybeans, probably because it has been used to extract oil. It also has a baked aroma when eaten.
It was the first time for Tian Tian to eat this kind of bean flour pancake. She thought it was quite delicious and she accidentally ate too much.
Old Mrs. Tian put the remaining bean flour cakes and vegetables in the pot to warm them up. This was the dinner for Tian Lisong.
The days are shorter now and it gets dark early in the evening. Plus, there aren't many entertainment activities at this time, and lamp oil requires money and tickets. Except when necessary, everyone goes to bed as soon as it gets dark.
So at this time, we eat two meals a day, one in the morning around eight o'clock, and another meal around two o'clock in the afternoon, and we skip the evening meal.
When the sun was about to set in the evening, Tian Lisong came back with a tired face.
His original idea was to count and pack up the food to be distributed to each household, and then when the time came to measure the food, he could just go and pack up his own food.
All this had originally been agreed upon with the team leader, but when he saw that everyone in the team had gone there, he said that he did not want to keep everyone in the team waiting that long and insisted on distributing the food.
Tian Lisong had no choice but to agree.
It was fine at the beginning when the grain was distributed, because the grain they got was already weighed.
As a result, the grain had not been calculated in the end. Some people were trying to distribute the grain here, while others were calculating how much grain each family got. People also had to go to the granary to weigh the grain. The team was short of manpower to begin with, and with so many people it was a bit noisy, so the grain has not been distributed until now.
"Dad! You're back!" Tian Zhuo was playing at the gate. He was the first person to see Tian Lisong and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
Although Tian Lisong was tired, he still picked up Tian Zhuo who was running towards him and threw him up twice, which made Tian Zhuo laugh. Then he took Tian Zhuo into the yard.
Tian Lisong had been hungry and tired these days. After he finished eating all the bean flour cakes that Old Lady Tian had left for him, he went into the house to sleep.
After Tian Tian finished her housework, she returned to her room and began racking her brains to think of what to give to Shen Lingling.
In her previous life, she was an ordinary student, with no special skills or talents, and could do nothing except study hard.
She also learned the skill of mending clothes here. Pig intestine hairbands are simple, so she was able to make them.
