Yang looked at her eldest daughter with some surprise, then at her youngest daughter: "The upper teeth must be buried underground so they can grow quickly and healthily."
Then she turned her head and looked at her son who was gargling with salt water. "When you go to bury your tooth later, remember to bury it deep enough so that the cats and dogs passing by won't dig it out."
Su Xuanhe didn't expect his mother to suddenly talk to him. He subconsciously wanted to agree, but he forgot that there was still a mouthful of salt water in his mouth. He swallowed it with a "gulp" and then stood there in a daze.
"Hahaha, brother is so stupid!" This time it was Su Xueyan who laughed loudly.
Little Su Xuanhe said that the irreparable damage to his heart could only be compensated by eating.
Yang patted her son on the back to calm him down, then turned to her eldest daughter. "If it's a lower tooth, throw it on the roof. In short, the deeper the upper teeth, the better, and the higher the lower teeth, the better."
Su Qingluan nodded: the latter half of the custom was similar to what she knew.
Although she knew that the speed and alignment of teeth growth had nothing to do with where the baby teeth were placed, Su Qingluan still found this custom of tooth replacement very interesting.
After a lot of trouble, the few people were finally able to sit down and have their afternoon meal.
Fortunately, it is a hot summer day, and the Wensi tofu soup is relatively thick, so it cools down slowly.
Even the stir-fried vegetables, which are most susceptible to heat loss, are served warm.
Yang sighed again: "How come Daya's hands are so skillful, the tofu can actually be cut into thin strips."
The tofu shreds are suspended in the thick soup, and from a distance they look like white clouds or soft gauze. A sip of it is sour and spicy, and it stimulates the appetite. After making you sweat on a hot day, the evening breeze blows gently, and you feel immediately cooled down.
Because the Wensi Tofu Soup has a very smooth texture, even the two children who can't eat spicy food couldn't help but drink two bowls each.
However, compared to Wensi tofu, Su Guangfu’s favorite is bean cake.
Because the bean cake has been slightly fermented in advance, the side away from the pot wall has been fumigated by high-temperature steam, making the cake soft and elastic, and very chewy to eat.
The other side forms a rice crust, which is so crispy that it falls apart when you bite it, and also has the aroma of a slightly burnt staple food.
Su Guangfu obviously liked the taste of the pancakes very much. He ate two in one go and then took the half that his little daughter had broken off.
"Erzhuang," the farmer looked up at his son, "Why don't you eat the pancakes? Your sister makes them, they're not sore in the throat and they're delicious!"
Su Xueyan also nodded repeatedly and assured: "Brother, the pancakes made by my sister are delicious!"
In fact, the food of pancake itself does not require much technical content. It’s just that when Su Qingluan was grinding the beans this time, she remembered that her sister and brother always said that the coarse flour dry food at home hurt their throats and they couldn’t perform. So she was more careful and added more flour than usual when grinding the bean flour.
Sure enough, the bean flour that was ground once more was much finer, and coupled with the slight fermentation and slightly crispy texture on the pancake, it naturally tasted much better than the previous one that was just thrown into the pot and steamed.
Su Qingluan planned to talk about these key points with Yang later, so that even if she didn't help occasionally, Yang could still make delicious pancakes.
As for Su Xuanhe, although he had received assurances from both his father and sister, he seemed to be possessed by some lady from a noble family, and he no longer ate as voraciously as before.
Instead, he carefully picked up one or two leaves and gently put them in his mouth, chewing them as slowly as a snail could crawl.
Su Guangfu frowned as he watched, but Yang was amused and scolded him, "Are you embroidering here, young lady?"
Su Xuanhe swallowed the food in his mouth and said a little aggrievedly, "If I don't eat slowly...what if I lose another tooth later?"
"How could it be such a coincidence?" Yang consoled her son. "Your mother has lived half her life, and I've never heard of losing two in one day..."
Snap!
Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound knocking on the wooden dining table. The family looked closely and saw that it was another front tooth with a faint trace of blood.
Su Qingluan immediately looked up and saw that Su Xuanhe was missing another lower front tooth in his mouth, which was wide open in shock!
And I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but this front tooth is not corresponding to the previous one, but just staggered, the upper one is the left front tooth, and the lower one is the right front tooth!
Little Su Xuanhe looked as if he had lost all hope in life.
But Su Xueyan was still adding insult to injury: "Brother, it's like you have two black holes in your mouth now..."
Su Xuanhe immediately shut his mouth tightly after hearing this. Because he closed his mouth so tightly, his originally rosy lips turned a little pale.
"Why are you shutting up?" Su Qingluan rolled her eyes. "Aren't you just deceiving yourself? Rinse your mouth again."
What else could Su Xuanhe do? He could only continue rinsing his mouth obediently, then place the other front tooth on the table and throw it onto the roof later.
"Put the two teeth farther apart," Yang quickly told Su Xuanhe not to put the second tooth next to the first, "don't put it upside down later!"
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Put the second one in front of me. Don't look so sad." The latter part of the sentence was directed to Su Xuanhe. "Think about it this way. Losing two teeth at once means you can complete your tooth replacement faster and suffer less. Isn't that great?"
Su Xuanhe thought about it and agreed, so he started eating again.
Considering that he had just lost two teeth, he was still very careful when eating, especially when eating bean cakes.
