This reason is so logical and well-founded that it sounds irrefutable.
Everyone looked away and then looked at the child.
Erdan thought about it and picked up a piece for Ms. Meng first. It looked relatively small on the whole plate.
As soon as the food entered her mouth, Ms. Meng felt a strong sensation on the tip of her tongue. However, she had suffered a lot in those days, so now everything she ate was easy to swallow. So she chewed it twice and swallowed it.
"It's delicious," she said.
Chen Bai looked at his wife and asked again suspiciously, "Is it really delicious? Are you pretending? Why do I feel like you don't think it's delicious?"
She didn't behave like this when she ate the food Xiao Su cooked before.
Ms. Meng looked at her husband and said, "It's really delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."
Something in that smile made Chen Bai pause.
So when Erdan fed him a piece of grilled tofu, he felt his tongue was hurt.
Intense, severe, unspeakable hurt.
But, “Oh, it’s delicious.”
In order to gain the trust of his son-in-law and daughter, he added two more sentences, "I didn't expect that the tofu fried by the child didn't look very good on the surface, and it was a bit dry, but it tasted good and was a bit crispy."
Qian Yin was the third one to eat. His facial expression twisted for a moment before he swallowed it.
He was born into a relatively good family and had hardly suffered any hardship. Although he was not very particular about food, his family still tried their best to make it delicious.
Like this piece of tofu today, he felt it was more refreshing than drinking coffee...
Chen Yan spit out the tofu after taking her first bite. "What's that taste?!"
She was stunned. It turned out that the taste of different seasonings mixed together was not necessarily delicious!
"No wonder you didn't want to eat it. It turns out you knew the tofu wasn't tasty." Chen Yan looked at Su Qinghu, eyes full of condemnation and anger. "You actually knew that. Why didn't you stop me?"
Before Su Qinghu could say anything, Qian Duoshu came forward and handed his mother a bottle of soda. Seeing his mother calm down and take the soda, he said, "Mom, you're wasting food. Also, my aunt hasn't even tasted this tofu before, so she doesn't know if it's delicious or not."
How could Chen Yan have ever been treated like this? When she was little, her parents left her to the care of the elderly at home because of work. However, because their allowances were often sent home, and various coupons and other things were valid throughout the country, she didn't suffer much as a child. In fact, she could even say that she lived a very comfortable life.
It is understandable that a person who has never eaten any inferior food and has developed eating habits at her husband's house cannot accept this tofu.
Especially since there was one person who escaped!
Looking at Su Qinghu's rosy and bright face, beautiful figure, and leisurely demeanor, coupled with her son's words about his elbow being disloyal, Chen Yan was furious.
"Duoduo, mom always teaches you to be observant. Are you observant? She's such a good cook. She knows what seasonings to use, what not to use, and what flavors come out when different seasonings are mixed together. She must know more than us."
"You know so much, how could you not know whether this tofu is delicious or not?"
Qian Duoshu: “…”
"So when you speak, don't always take outsiders into consideration. Think more about everything."
Qian Duoshu felt that his mother was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute her. He watched her finish a bottle of soda and then took it.
When he took it, Erdan spoke up, "You told me to observe more, and you often told me to observe more. Why don't you observe more?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "often".
"My mom must have observed us more while she was grilling the skewers. She observed us and knew what we put in the food. She could roughly guess whether it was delicious or not, so she didn't participate in our bet."
"You must not have observed us closely enough to know that our fried tofu wasn't tasty."
Erdan grinned, "Alright, alright, don't be angry, everyone. We lost this bet. So, each of you will get ten cents."
He dug into his pocket, took out a few one-cent bills, and happily handed them out one by one.
While sending the money, I felt something was wrong, so I looked up and took the money back immediately.
snort!
He didn't participate just now, so now he can just eat his three pieces of tofu. Anyway, he won't share the pain with his brother!
Dadan's eyes curved slightly, but he said nothing.
Erdan turned back and looked at the ten cents he had stuffed into the four people's hands. "Don't be polite. I'm willing to accept the loss. I'll pay you back if I ask for it. You can put it away. I won't ask for it back."
After saying that, he walked towards Qian Duoshu and took a piece of tofu from his plate.
Suddenly meeting his bright eyes, she thought for a moment and took the last piece of tofu from his plate.
"Brother, you are loyal enough, right? The money for our bet was given by you. Now I will share the remaining tofu with you! You don't have to eat any of it!" Erdan puffed out his little chest, stuffed a piece into his mouth, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
I just ate the first piece and I am so full.
If he eats two more pieces now, he will die!
"I'll make up for Second Brother's debt." Qian Duoshu blinked and looked at the remaining piece of tofu on his plate with some curiosity. "So it really doesn't taste good? Iron plate tofu doesn't taste like the one we make?"
Erdan: “…Hmm.”
If it was really delicious, he wouldn't have such an expression, right? He was almost crying.
After eating the last piece of tofu, Erdan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He looked at his empty plate, then at the little kid in front of him, and was a little dazed.
What's going on? This isn't right!
There were four people in total, including my grandparents, aunt and uncle. He ate one of the four pieces of tofu, leaving three pieces.
The little kid had three pieces of tofu. He ate one piece, so there should be only two pieces left.
The two of them had five dollars left.
The adults shared four pieces of money in a bet, so logically there should only be one piece left.
Then why did he take two pieces of tofu from the little bean curd's plate?
Where did the extra piece come from?
"Brother?" Erdan looked at Dadan suddenly, "You're so dishonest! You're even sneaking around and throwing things onto other people's plates?"
Then he looked at Qian Duoshu, completely disappointed, "Can you be more careful? I've been trying so hard to save the two of us from taking advantage of you, but now you can't even protect your own plate and let someone take advantage of you!"
Qian Duoshu blinked: "It's not big brother, it's Duoduo."
Erdan almost choked.
Su Qinghu almost burst out laughing, it was quite funny.
"Second brother helps Duoduo, Duoduo helps big brother, we are a loving family." People grinned, "Big brother is very good to us."
