Chapter 352: It must be a god!
A loud shout came out of the blue, startling everyone.
It also scared a piece of pizza out of Tie Niu's hand in the corner of the room. Fortunately, the crust was covered with dust. The girl closest to him picked up the pizza at his feet, thought about it, and handed the one in her hand to him.
"Uncle Tieniu, you can eat this. It's clean."
Tie Niu shook his head vigorously, but still took his own dusty hot pancake, brushed off the dust on it, and still had bright eyes as he ate happily, not feeling any disgust at all because the food was dirty.
The people in front were arguing with each other, wondering if such delicious food was given by gods.
Meanwhile, Tie Niu took a big bite, chewing until his mouth was filled with the delicious flavor. Then he said to the Pang brothers and sisters closest to him in a decisive tone, "The pancake is so delicious, it must have been made by the gods! I've never eaten it before!"
Seeing how he was eating, the brother and sister also started eating with great enthusiasm. The three of them gathered together and enjoyed the meal very much.
"Here's some water for you. Eat slowly and don't choke." Mrs. Pang handed water bags to the children and Tie Niu brothers.
Pang Jiming sat outside his wife and children, chewing slowly.
It also makes the people around him who are eating voraciously look unsightly.
It was delicious, but I ate it too fast. Before I could savor the flavor, it was gone!
At this time, several people around him looked at the half meat pie in Pang Jiming's hand, swallowing their saliva, their eyes shining with greed.
Unfortunately, no one dared to move.
This time, lunch was served at noon, the door was open, and there was a little charcoal fire burning in the house for heating. Although it was not warm, it was not cold either. This privilege was only possible thanks to the many patients who had come before.
The officers stood in the middle of the yard, holding sticks and whips. If someone shouted in any room, the officers outside would rush in and drag the person away in the next second.
Anyone with eyes saw the punishment that just happened outside.
It's really not worth it to get whipped in the cold and snow just to grab a bite of food.
Therefore, no one in each room dared to act rashly and could only watch the prisoners eating slowly.
"Oh! Tsk tsk tsk, look, it fell! What a waste! It's a waste to give it to you."
Some people can't help but feel sorry for others when they see a little crumbs slipping from the corners of their mouths.
With the strict orders from the adults today, many prisoners who are slow eaters are very happy. They don’t have to worry about others snatching their food away, and can enjoy their meals slowly and comfortably, which is a rare opportunity these days.
As for the buzzing noises around me, I am no longer afraid of them. Listening to them for a few seconds won’t make me eat less. I am happy.
"Whether it's given by adults or gods, I want to kowtow to them!"
Someone ate with great satisfaction and sighed.
Pang Jiming ate his lunch slowly and leisurely, not wholeheartedly enjoying himself. Instead, he took a bite, chewed it twice, and then stared at the quarter of the roujiamo in his hand with a puzzled look.
He turned his head and whispered to his wife, "Why is the filling in this pancake a bit spicy, but the taste is very different from what we are used to."
Pang's wife had also tasted it. Although there were not many of these meat-filled pancakes, and it was considered good enough for the family to share half of them, she still ate some of them. She was also curious about her husband's question.
"Indeed, it's quite different. Husband, look at this!" She pointed at a piece of chopped chili in the filling, "It seems to have the spicy flavor of this green vegetable."
Pang Jiming also saw it, picked up a few pieces of crumbs with his fingertips, and put them into his mouth to chew.
A spicy smell lingers in the mouth.
He nodded and said, "It must be related to this thing."
"Well, it enhances the flavor and freshness. It's really delicious. I've never seen it before." Pang's wife, who had always been taking care of the housework, was also very interested.
Pang Jiming looked up and saw several greedy eyes staring at him. He took the remaining one or two bites in one gulp.
well--
I could hear countless sighs of regret around me.
The two children had finished eating with Tie Niu a long time ago. The children had small stomachs, and the hot pancakes were oily and meaty, which made them very filling. Many people felt very happy and satisfied after this meal.
“It would be nice if I could eat it every day.”
"Tsk—you're a convict! You're lucky you didn't starve to death, what are you dreaming of?"
Tie Niu looked up and saw the two children bickering over their fill, finding it quite amusing. He covered his mouth and whispered to the two children, "I wish I could eat such delicious cakes every day."
"Me too!"
"Me too!!"
The two children chatted with him with their eyes shining. Pang Jiming and his wife behind him heard their conversation, looked at each other and smiled.
Well, who wouldn't want that?
The atmosphere in the room was originally quite good. Even though some people had expressed their feelings and some had objected, it did not affect the good mood of the group of convicts who had satisfied their appetites.
Pang Jiming turned around and chatted with Tie Niu, asking if he could find an opportunity to buy him a new pair of straw sandals. He also talked to his wife about how, if possible, he could get some scraps of cloth to mend clothes and the children's shoes.
"The weather is getting colder."
Pang’s wife has always listened to her husband, so she nodded and took it to heart.
As for scraps of cloth and the like, Mrs. Pang had some ideas in her mind. If she remembered correctly, the second girl of the Xie family who left her husband's home and followed him seemed to have exchanged some scraps of cloth in the village ahead. Although the color and material were certainly not as good as before, they were in this situation now, so why would they care about whether it was good or bad? It was good enough to have some.
If her husband had no connections, she would like to try the Xie family, but she was short of money and had not saved anything to exchange.
Besides, she thought the Xie family didn't seem to be a family that needed anything.
She had never mentioned this matter openly to her husband Pang Ji, perhaps because she didn't know how to bring it up.
She always felt that her husband was very wary of families like the Xie family, the Chai family and other famous families in the team.
What's more, Miss Xie from the Xie family had once had a relationship with Zhuang Tanhua, who caused their Pang family to fall into this state.
She knew her husband's temper and would not vent his anger on a poor woman for no reason. However, she still had some resentment in her heart and was unwilling to contact him.
Pang’s wife thought to herself, forget it, let’s think of another way.
The four of them, plus Tie Niu, made up a whole group of five people in a corner. The little girl's hair was messy, so Pang's wife dipped her fingertips in the light snow outside the window, let it melt, and then wet it on the dry hair, then combed her daughter's hair and tied it into a bun.
Tie Niu squatted on the ground, pulling out the hay that had long since changed color from the straw mat, mixed with some weeds he had collected when he was in Wulibao, and quietly weaving something there.
"Uncle Tieniu, what are you making up?"
"Weave a small basket."
"What's the use of making a small basket?"
Tie Niu looked around and whispered, "Weave a small basket and go to the river to catch some small fish to offer to the gods."
"ah?"
Three heads, one big and two small, were whispering.
"Then my sister and I will help you catch more small fish. Will the gods give us delicious food next time?"
"Of course."
Pang Jiming could hear the funny mosquito sounds behind him without turning around. He shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, it’s great to be free from worries and fears.
