Chapter 18: Hiding food to eat
Bai Erzhu busily said: “Niang, I’m not really sure, but if I go this time to the town, maybe I can really get food . ”
Seeing him with a serious look, and seems not lying . Old Lady Bai ask: “What’s going on? Let’s talk about it . ”
Bai Erzhu leaned towards his aging mother’s ear and whispered in a very low voice: “Niang, when I was working in the field and cleaning up the gra.s.s, I heard from the two people that went to the town and buy some foods that, the Xu Family bun’s shop prepared 100 pieces of steamed buns for the 5 partic.i.p.ants in the compet.i.tion . These 5 contestants will be asked to eat these steamed buns . The contestant who will eat the most will be given 1 bag of flour . ”
“Niang, 1 bag of flour, 1 bag of flour, how long do you think it will help our family?” Bai Erzhu’s smile reached up to his ears . As if this bag of flour had already been delivered to their house .
Old Lady Bai was amazed and ask: “Is there really such a good compet.i.tion in this world? They will ask you to eat steamed buns? And after you eat, they will also give 1 bag of flour? Does the owner of the steamed bun shop has a muddled brain?”
Bai Erzhu said: “The owner doesn’t have a muddled brain . Of course, there is also condition to partic.i.p.ate . It’s not just any person could partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion . The partic.i.p.ant will be asked to pay the money first . ”
Old Lady Bai ask: “How much is it?”
After eating a small bowl of porridge and a few vegetables with no oil . Who will not get hungry at night? So, if they can really hide some food to eat in the evening, that would be great
Bai Dazhu smiled and said with a low voice: “Stupid wife, tonight you will cook the meal . If you add a bit more rice and hide the food early before everyone eats, who will know?”.
Mrs . Liu gradually smiled: “I see . Okay, I will listen to you . ” The unpleasant mood she felt earlier gradually dissipated
However, seeing Bai Dazhu turning to go, she busily said: “Hey! Didn’t you said that you will help me? Where are you going?”.
Bai Dazhu did not return inside the kitchen, he only said: “Just a simple task, yet you still want me to help? I am busy the whole day, I’ll go and sleep . After the sun went down, the mosquitoes are flying everywhere . I wouldn’t be able to sleep by then . Remember to wake me up, when you finished cooking dinner . ”.
