A war that started because of a child's jealousy was suppressed by Su Qinghu as soon as it showed a little bit of gunpowder smell.
The three children happily fried tofu with the small spatulas that were used to scrape putty, and occasionally brushed some of the various seasonings prepared by Su Qinghu on it.
Su Qinghu gave them some restrictions, telling them to eat as much as they could, and no one would eat it for them if it didn't taste good. He also didn't stop them and let them tinker with it.
Holding the skewer in one hand and a small spatula in the other, he ate while flipping the fried tofu. By the time he realized that the tofu tasted a little wrong, it was too late.
Looking at the tofu that had changed color and then at Su Qinghu, the children hurriedly shoveled the tofu into a white porcelain plate.
The three of them looked at each other, and the clear question in their eyes was "Is it edible?"
How could Su Qinghu not see it?
But when I saw it, I pretended not to know.
"Second brother?" Qian Duoshu looked at Erdan and asked softly, "Can I eat it?"
Erdan: “…”
To be honest, he wasn't sure if it was edible. They had added soy sauce and honey to the sizzling tofu sauce they had prepared.
Erdan took a look at the words on the seasoning bottle. Well, there is also cinnamon powder.
It seems like there is a bit too much cinnamon and pepper powder?
"Can't I eat it?" Qian Duoshu glanced at the adults furtively, but was caught red-handed by them.
He: “…We’ll finish it.”
My aunt just said that no matter how bad the tofu tastes, as long as they fried it themselves, they must finish it.
After he finished speaking, he went to look at the iron plate. There were one piece, two pieces, three pieces of tofu on the iron plate... well, ten pieces.
There is an extra piece and there is no way to divide it equally.
Unless the last piece is cut into thirds...
Erdan took a deep breath. He was the most active in adding the seasoning just now, so it was natural that he should be the first to eat it.
Picking up a piece of fried tofu that was a little hard, Erdan opened his mouth and took a bite with a serious expression.
Everyone looked at him.
Erdan began to chew, his expression became more and more interesting, and his eyes began to sparkle.
"Hmm, so hot!" He said as he chewed, "Let's split ten pieces of tofu between the three of us. My brother and Xiao... Duoduo will each have three pieces, and I'll have four pieces for myself!"
Dadan looked at his expression, a bad premonition flashed in his eyes, "I want to wait until I finish eating barbecue before eating this."
Erdan began to condemn Dadan with his eyes.
Dadan: "Tofu is very filling. I want to eat barbecued meat and vegetables first."
The roasted meat was golden brown, and the aroma of meat, cumin, and chili peppers blended together to create an alluring flavor. Although the vegetables were not as overbearing as the meat, the roasted colors were very beautiful.
Leeks, potato chips, beans, mushrooms, each one looks delicious...
He didn't look at Erdan, so Erdan had to shift his gaze and look at little Qian Duoshu, blinking slightly.
Qian Duoshu: "Second brother, I can eat tofu first."
He can’t eat much skewers this time, so he can come to his aunt’s house next time and ask her to cook for him.
Erdan: "Eat it, eat it! This tofu is delicious. You'll never find it again. And tofu is best eaten while it's hot."
"Yeah." Little Qian Duoshu nodded.
Watching him eat a piece, Erdan looked at him with wide eyes, "Is it delicious?"
Qian Duoshu: “…Yeah.”
The tip of my tongue felt a little numb and bitter, but my second brother said it was delicious. So this must be what barbecue tastes like, right?
The kid, who had never eaten barbecue since childhood, let Erdan fulfill his wish.
"Really? Really? I told you it was delicious." Erdan approached Qian Duoshu, put his hand on his shoulder like a brother, patted him, and leaned close to his little face, grinning, "Follow me and you'll have good food."
Qian Duoshu's face began to change, and tears gradually filled his eyes.
My tongue is numb and astringent...
Erdan was anxious when he saw Qian Duoshu's tears, and he winked at him repeatedly, hoping that he would be patient until the adults started to ask questions.
Little Qian Duoshu pursed his lips, looked at Erdan's expression, and tried his best to be like Erdan.
"Is it really that delicious? You put a lot of cinnamon powder and pepper powder in it." Chen Bai was curious. "Oh, and you also put a lot of soy sauce in it."
"Why don't I believe what you said, that this thing is delicious."
Erdan: "Let's make a bet. If it tastes good, you give us ten cents. If it doesn't, we give you ten cents."
It's just a dime, what's there to be afraid of?
"Okay." Chen Bai said, put down the skewers of meat he was flipping, and reached out to eat a piece.
"Wait." Erdan quickly covered his own special iron plate tofu and looked at everyone, "Grandpa wants to make a bet with us, who else wants to bet with us? Come on. If you pass by, don't miss it, there will be no such store after this village~~~~~"
He spoke cheerfully, almost with confidence, which made Chen Bai want to try it even more.
"Hurry up, who else wants to bet?" he urged. "It's just ten cents, anyone can afford it!"
To amuse the children.
Chen Yan looked at her son, then at Su Qinghu, and thinking of what she had just said, she said, "I'll do it."
Qian Yin didn't want to participate, but after being pinched by his wife, he sighed and raised his hand, "And me."
Duoduo is unusually quiet right now. If there is nothing fishy going on between these two brothers, he might eat up the lab!
Erdan: "Alright, there are three of us participating, so we all have to accept the loss! If I win your money later, I won't keep it all for myself. I'll save it all and buy something for my old age when I have more."
That's such a bold statement!
Qian Yin glanced at him, a little confused. Maybe... it's not that bad?
And Chen Yan, "You're not right. There are three of us participating? There are still two people you haven't asked."
"..." Erdan glanced at Su Qinghu and Ms. Meng, sighed, and looked at the plate in his hand. "Duoduo and I only have seven pieces of tofu together. If you eat three pieces, we still have four pieces. Then Duoduo and I can only eat two pieces of tofu each..."
When Qian Yin heard his way of distribution, he wanted to laugh. This kid is very smart.
He and his wife would probably choose to eat Duoduo's dish, and in the end even if it didn't taste good, Duoduo would only eat one piece.
As for Erdan, there were four pieces on his plate. The old man ate one, so there were three left.
There are three pieces left, but I have to redistribute them with Duoduo...
He smiled, but didn't say anything.
Ms. Meng was puzzled, thinking that if it tasted bad, it would not satisfy the appetite of bad kids, so she nodded and said, "I'll come too."
Su Qinghu: "I refuse."
Everyone participated except her, so all eyes were on her.
Su Qinghu: "After returning from this business trip, I spent all the change I had on me. I don't have a penny left."
"Even if it tastes really good, I still can't afford it."
