With the change in the family's food and clothing standards, the fried dough twists and nougat that Tiedan used to be able to bring along naturally became a luxury.
Many of his underlings were drooling, but Tie Dan just squinted at them and said, "If someone hadn't tried to report us, we wouldn't be in this situation, with nothing good to eat."
Don't blame others. If you hadn't been so nosy and told your family about it, this wouldn't have happened.
After saying that, he glared at the few kids.
When the underlings heard Tiedan's words, they thought about how they would brag to their families when they got home, and they all looked like wilted eggplants, listless and dejected.
He was filled with deep regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he should have kept it hidden and secretly eaten it. He shouldn't have told his parents or taken it home.
Now things are much better. They can't bear to eat it themselves, so they secretly take it home for their parents to taste.
Unexpectedly, these unreliable parents had such big mouths that they went and told others.
But there's no going back in this world.
They could only follow behind Tie Dan, listening to his words, hoping that Tie Dan would forgive them.
Tie Dan wasn't stupid. He knew he couldn't just criticize his underlings all the time, or they would definitely rebel.
So, after leaving his underlings out for a while, he took them to collect bird eggs, catch fish, and flip crabs.
These things, when gathered together by several children, amount to quite a lot.
Tie Dan assigned tasks, telling his underlings to go home and get pots, spatulas, seasonings, and bowls and chopsticks.
After bringing it over, they placed it by the river. Tie Dan carried a few stones from the river and piled them up to make a simple stove.
Then he rummaged through the seasonings his underlings had brought and, sure enough, found a jar.
The jar contained a thin layer of rapeseed oil that barely covered the bottom. It was only after Ning Jing told Fu Hongxing about the rapeseed oil that Fu Hongxing went to the village chief, and only then did the village chief gather everyone together to plant rapeseed.
After the rapeseed flowers and bears fruit, the rapeseed is pressed, and sure enough, a lot of rapeseed oil is produced, which makes everyone very happy.
Not to mention, there are peanuts too!
Nowadays, not many people go to town to buy tea seed oil to eat.
The rapeseed and peanuts grown at home can be pressed for oil, so the adults in the village don't really pay much attention to the amount of oil they use at home.
That's how people are; if they couldn't get something to eat before, they'd crave it even more.
The more you want it, the less likely you are to get it; the less likely you are to get it, the more you want it.
Having already obtained it, they no longer cared about it, so the children in the family secretly took away the oil jar that still had a thin layer of rapeseed oil on it.
Tie Dan didn't care whether the kid would get a beating if his parents found out.
He quickly heated the oil in the pan, then stirred the beaten bird eggs and put them directly in.
With a sizzle, the hot pan was instantly half-cooked when the bird egg was poured on it.
Looking at the half-cooked bird egg, Tie Dan then plucked off a clean wild scallion that was placed aside and threw it into the pot.
Then, before the egg on top had completely solidified, he flipped the pan over and turned the bird egg over.
Tie Dan quickly prepared a bowl of stir-fried bird eggs with wild scallions.
The next fish were made into soup, and the crabs were stir-fried with cooking wine and chili peppers.
Although it smells pungent, it tastes absolutely delicious.
