Chapter 2: Sign in successfully and get [Mantou]*1...
[Successful sign-in, get [Mantou]*10]
"Wow--"
Ten steamed buns suddenly appeared from where Bai Miao was clasping her hands, stacked up high enough to reach her mouth.
When she opened her mouth and exclaimed "Wow", a steamed bun was directly stuck to her mouth. She could take a bite with just a light bite.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi were also shocked by the pile of steamed buns and were speechless for a moment.
Until Bai Miao rolled his eyes and took a bite of the steamed bun beside his mouth.
The stacked buns fell apart in an instant.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi hurriedly caught the steamed buns that fell into the air, and then looked at the little sister biting the steamed buns, and they both laughed instantly.
Bai Miao also laughed, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the steamed bun fell out of her mouth.
Bai Yu was quick to catch the steamed bun, feeling its soft texture and swallowing the saliva that was rising from the bottom of her heart: "Miaomiao, is it delicious?"
Bai Miao licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and nodded quickly: "Sweet, delicious."
She stretched out her hands towards Bai Yu.
Bai Yu put the steamed bun between her two hands. Seeing her holding the steamed bun that was almost as big as her face, she opened her mouth to bite it, and soon her whole face was buried in the bun.
The sound of Bai Xi swallowing brought Bai Yu back to his senses.
He looked down at the steamed buns in his hand, grabbed one and put it in his mouth, taking a big bite.
I don’t know where the steamed bun came from in the shell, but it was still warm to the touch, and even more warm and soft when put into the mouth. Bai Yu hadn’t eaten such a soft steamed bun for a long time.
Seeing her take action, Bai Xi also picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
For a moment, the three of them were silent, just concentrating on eating the steamed buns.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi are older, but their appetites are not big. They feel full after eating a big steamed bun.
"I remember when my parents were still alive, one time when we went ashore, my father bought a big meat bun for each of us three. I still remember the taste of that meat bun. It was so fragrant and delicious."
"I remember that time, too. We happened to be in a good spot and caught a lot of fish, including some valuable ones. We sold them for a full eight hundred coins after we brought them ashore. But since then, we haven't had such a good time again."
"Not only did we not encounter such a good situation, but also..."
Bai Xi couldn't continue speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Bai Miao put down the steamed bun he had been chewing for a long time and asked seriously, "Three meat buns, and there's no one for me?"
Bai Yu laughed, raised her hand to pick up the steamed bread crumbs on Bai Miao's face, and replied patiently: "At that time, you were still in mother's belly. Dad bought three meat buns, and mother also got one. If mother ate it, you ate it too."
"Then I'll eat it too." Bai Miao picked up the steamed bun again with satisfaction and buried his head in it to continue chewing.
After taking a few bites, she put down her hands and handed the steamed bun to her elder sister.
"Are you full?" Bai Yu took the steamed bun.
Bai Miao nodded and touched his belly with his fingers: "I'm full."
Bai Yu looked at her poking her belly and laughed again. He cut the bun in his hand into two, eating half himself and giving the other half to Bai Xi.
The two of them had long been accustomed to sharing what their sister had eaten.
This time, both of them ate slowly and talked while eating.
"It seems that there is only one chance to sign in for this shell a day."
"Yeah, and only my little sister can use it."
"That's okay. We're a family. It's better for my little sister to be able to use it than for no one else to be able to use it," Bai Yu said, taking small bites of her steamed bun while watching her little sister poking at the shell. "But today we can be sure that something can really fall out of the shell."
"What if such a good thing falls off?" Bai Xi was worried and looked at the little sister who was poking the shells.
"Don't go into the water today. Make a small net with the fishing line, put the shells in it, and hang it around my little sister's neck so they won't fall off easily." Bai Yu stuffed the last bite of steamed bun into her mouth, hugged her little sister, and took the shell from her hand. "Miaomiao, don't poke it again. If you poke it, we won't have any steamed buns to eat. You can only poke it once a day."
Bai Miao let go, clasped his hands in front of him, and stayed obediently in Bai Yu's arms.
Bai Xi found a cloth bag in the cabin and put all the buns into it one by one. At the same time, he asked, "Are we still going to look for Uncle and Uncle Two today?"
"We're not going today. We have salt and steamed buns, so we can last a few days," Bai Yu said. "Let's see what we can sign in and get tomorrow. But no matter what it is, we'll go find the uncles tomorrow."
"Or do we want to go to the shore?" Bai Xi asked.
"Of course," Bai Yu nodded, looking at the obedient little sister in her arms, "The matter of Shell is a secret between the three of us. We can't tell anyone. No one can know about it, including my uncle, my second uncle, my aunt, and Sister He."
Bai Xi stuffed the last steamed bun into the bag and held it loosely. "You can't tell me what you signed in? Some things may not be hidden."
"Find a reason," Bai Yu said, looking out of the cabin as a boat passed by in the distance. "Just say we exchanged fish for salt with a passing boat. Didn't we also exchange fish for salt before?"
"That's fine," Bai Xi nodded, "but we can't just say it directly. If they saw it, we'll just say so. If they didn't say anything, we don't have to say it specifically, right?"
"Yes, I won't tell you." Bai Yu nodded. "Our cabin is small, so basically no one will come up here, but the shells must be hidden well."
"A simple fishing net would hurt," Bai Xi hung the bag of steamed buns on the cabin, took off another bag, and pulled out a large piece of cloth from it. "Can I sew this into a pocket and put the shells in it?"
"Okay," Bai Yu thought, thinking this was better than a fishing net. Although he was reluctant to use up such fine cloth, the shells were actually more valuable right now. "Then you sew this up today, and I'll go fishing in the water. If I can catch a few, I can exchange them for more things when I get to shore."
"good."
The two sisters discussed it and whispered to Bai Miao, asking her not to tell anyone else about the shells, the steamed buns, or the sign-in.
Bai Miao nodded one by one: "Well, no, I won't say anything."
Bai Yu was still worried.
Bai Xi comforted her: "It's okay, go ahead. I'll tell her a few more times today. Once she understands, she won't have any more steamed buns to eat, so she won't tell anyone."
"Then tell me more, I'm going." Bai Yu nodded, changed into the clothes hanging outside the cabin, tied the rope around himself, and went into the water with the basket.
After Bai Yu went into the water, Bai Miao came over to lie down next to Bai Xi and said, "Second sister, are you not going to rain today?"
"Second sister wants to sew a pocket. After it's sewn, it will be used to hold shells, otherwise the shells will easily fall out." Bai Xi held the cloth and needle and thread in her hand. "By the way, I'll accompany you today, okay?"
"Okay, Second Sister has been here all day," Bai Miao leaned her head against Bai Xi and counted her toes, "One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, five, one, three, five, five, two, nine, nine..."
Each toe has its own number on her side.
Bai Xi listened to her counting and started sewing the pocket with a smile.
It should be larger than the shell, but not too big.
After sewing for a while, she heard the voices of "Sign in successfully" and "Sign in successfully" in her ears. Turning around, she saw Bai Miao holding an ordinary shell, pressing it and talking.
She was very well behaved. She was not allowed to play with beautiful shells, so she played with ordinary shells.
"Miaomiao, if there are outsiders here, you can't play like this."
"I know. If other people were here, I would play folding grass with them," Bai Miao lifted her white and tender feet. "Second sister, none of them are as good as me at folding grass. I am much better at it."
"Well, you had a great time." Bai Xi nodded with a smile.
Bai Miao was born late, and the age difference between her and Bai Xi was seven years, and the age difference between her and Bai Yu was even twelve years. In addition, their father was the youngest, so Bai Miao was also the youngest among her peers.
Even the grandson of my uncle is older than Bai Miao.
So most of the kids who played with her gave in to her, which made her always feel like she was the best.
But she is only three and a half years old, so no one would bother with her.
The cloth bag was sewn very quickly. Bai Xi sewed very carefully. In less than half an hour, she had finished sewing the bag and then carefully sewed two layers of strong straps.
After putting the shells in, she tightened the rope on her head and tied the cloth bag tightly.
Then she hung the belt around Bai Miao's neck, placed it inside her clothes, and gently pressed it with her hands on the outside: "Miao Miao, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Bai Miao lowered his head and felt carefully: "No."
"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, tell your second sister and she'll do it again." Bai Xi patted the spot where the pocket was and reminded him seriously, "Miao Miao, you must remember what your eldest sister told your second sister. You must never tell anyone about the shells, otherwise we won't be able to eat steamed buns, vegetables, or even fish in the future."
If they reveal the matter of the shell, all three sisters will die.
Bai Miao placed his hand on the back of Bai Xi's hand, also pressing the shell, and whispered, "There's no fish to eat. Can we only eat shell meat?"
Bai Xi shook his head: "There's no shell meat to eat either."
Bai Miao asked again: "Then...what about stinky fish? Can stinky fish be eaten?"
Bai Xi shook his head again: "No."
People only eat stinky fish in special circumstances, when even fresh fish cannot be caught, and they will use it to fill their stomachs. In Bai Miao's mind, stinky fish has the lowest status among foods.
Bai Miao's small face wrinkled into a ball: "No, you absolutely cannot talk about the shells!"
Bai Miao's face was still wrinkled until Bai Yu came up.
Bai Yu still wanted to go into the water to catch fish, so she pulled the rope beside the boat and said, "What did you say to her?"
Bai Xi recounted the conversation between the two.
Bai Yu laughed and shook off the water on her face: "She can't even eat stinky fish, so she doesn't know what to eat next. I guess she won't tell anyone about this."
Bai Xi also laughed: "I didn't tell her, she asked herself."
"It seems eating is really important to her," Bai Yu loosened the rope, "We've had a good catch today. You might as well take a day off and spend more time with my little sister on the shore. I'm going down now."
After saying that, Bai Yu dived into the water again and swam away like a fish.
