Chapter 25 I won’t kill you
The walls of the cave are extremely strong, and the location deep inside the cave is not large, so only three people can barely stand side by side.
Seven or eight villagers took turns digging and chiseling at the entrance of the small cave. It took more than two hours to carve out a small opening large enough for an adult to enter and exit.
Before the hole was dug, the haggis soup was cooked.
"Auntie, this is your haggis soup, but, but..."
Baitao was caught up in the joy of getting another large sum of money today, and did not notice Bai Duoxi's hesitant expression.
"It smells very good." As she said that, she picked up the lunch box and took a big sip of the haggis soup. The next second, it spurted out.
Looking up, Baitao looked at Bai Duoxi questioningly: "Where's the salt? Where did the salt go? Why does this soup have no taste at all?"
The haggis soup is quite fragrant, but I can't eat it without a little salt.
Bai Duoxi muttered awkwardly: "Auntie, everyone was in a hurry and didn't bring much salt, but I tried it and it still tastes good."
Baitao was speechless for a while after hearing this.
Fortunately, each bag of yesterday's dumplings came with seasoning salt, otherwise she would probably have tasted dumplings without salt.
But it's all Bai Duoxi's fault. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. What's more, she bought salt and forgot to take it out.
In the past, I either ate box lunches or grilled naan without adding additional salt for seasoning, so Baitao really can’t remember it.
Taking out several packets of salt from his bag one after another, Baitao was about to tell everyone not to eat it and put the haggis soup back into the pot and add some salt. However, he saw that many villagers had already eaten half a bowl of haggis soup and the drink was delicious, so he had to Changed the subject.
"You season my haggis soup for me. I really can't eat it without salt."
"If others think it's bland, let them sprinkle some salt on it."
After finishing speaking, Baitao looked at Bai Duoxi again and asked: "If you are missing something next time, don't just do it. Come and ask me, do you understand?"
No matter how good the lamb offal soup is, it will taste tasteless without a little salt.
This time it’s haggis soup, what if it’s something else next time?
No matter what it is, it doesn’t taste good without salt to season it.
Bai Duoxi nodded hurriedly: "Auntie, I will remember it."
In Bai Duoxi's opinion, Yanba's packaging bag is similar to that of dumplings, and he can already open the packaging bag very skillfully.
The next second, he was stunned. Is this salt?
Salt Ba has been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court since ancient times. The salt tax is high and the sale is never cheap, but the official salt is not so good.
Isn’t salt a big lump of salt with some brown or gray-black impurities almost always on it?
But the salt and snow in his hands were white and fine, even finer than the finest sand by the stream, without any impurities.
This salt looks whiter than snow and cleaner than snow.
The next second, Bai Duoxi patted her head. What was she thinking? How could that salt compare with what my aunt gave me?
The things given by my aunt are naturally the best!
Just when he was spreading the salt, he slapped himself on the head. His hand shook and some salt fell out of the bowl.
Bai Duoxi suddenly felt heartbroken. While scolding herself in her heart, she quickly swept the fallen salt to her other hand.
With the idea that such good salt should not be wasted, he poured the salt in his hand into his mouth in the next second.
Hmm...Bai Duoxi's facial features wrinkled up, so salty.
But this salt tastes really good, not bitter at all, just salty.
tasty! Bai Dashan happened to be passing by and saw this scene, and scolded him speechlessly: "I won't kill you."
Bai Duoxi sneered: "Hey, we can't waste it."
"But, village chief, this salt is delicious! Really!"
"Nonsense!" Bai Dashan said this and walked into the cave without stopping. He thought to himself, there is nothing good about anything given by his aunt.
The haggis soup is still cold. Add some salt and stir. It tastes much better.
Taking the lamb offal soup that Bai Duoxi brought again, this time, Baitao took a small test sip, and then took a big sip with confidence.
"Auntie, how does it taste?" Bai Duoxi asked cautiously.
Baitao smashed his mouth, pretending to taste it carefully, and nodded slowly: "Well, it tastes much better."
After hearing this, Bai Duoxi breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and kept saying: "That's good, that's good..."
If his aunt didn't think it tasted good, he wouldn't be able to cook for her shamelessly.
Bai Tao didn't know Bai Duoxi's dilemma. She held the lunch box with both hands and took a sip of the mutton soup. After putting it down, she picked up the fried pancake in the snack basket next to her, took a bite, chewed a few times and squinted with satisfaction. eyes.
You have to eat like this to feel comfortable on a cold and rainy day.
Chewing fried pancakes, taking a sip of haggis soup, chewing the haggis in the soup, it can be explained how comfortable and comfortable it is.
Bai Tao was so young that she was very full after eating a bowl of haggis soup and a fried pancake. Children around the same age as her also had similar appetites.
The most that other villagers can eat is two bowls of mutton soup, and those who eat less can have a bowl of mutton soup with two fried cakes.
There was a lot of pepper in the haggis soup. After everyone finished eating, they felt warm all over. Even if their heads were a little dazed due to the wind in the morning, they felt a hundred times more energetic now.
After eating and drinking enough, it didn't take long for the small hole to be dug.
The hole was opened, and several villagers went in first. They looked around and made sure there was no danger. Then they stuck their heads out and nodded to Bai Dashan who was waiting for news.
Bai Dashan then went to invite Baitao.
"Auntie, they have already gone in to take a look. They didn't encounter any snakes or insects, but there were some rocks. Do you want them to pick them out or do you go and take a look yourself?"
When Bai Tao heard this, her eyes lit up: "I want to see it myself."
Just kidding, of course she would have to go see it herself to be sure.
White pumice does not have a fixed appearance. If it were not for the prompt from the mall, and if it feels a little warm when you buy it, you may not even know which one is which.
In the cave, I saw a five-year-old baby with a child's bun and a large red flowered jacket. She walked away and ran towards the depths of the cave.
Because the big flower coat is thick and the little baby's legs are short, it looks wobbly when running, and the little hands are swaying.
It seemed like she would fall down due to the heavy clothes she wore in the next second, but every time she would take the next step in time.
Behind her, Bai Dashan held a kerosene lamp and trotted after her, constantly telling her: "Slow down, aunt, please slow down, be careful where you step, don't fall..."< br>
The White Pumice Cave is not very big, only about thirty square meters in area.
Baitao quickly ran into the cave and saw a pile of stones at first sight.
The villagers who came in first knew that Baitao wanted the stones in the cave, so they piled up all the stones in the cave and waited for her to pick them out.
(Ahem, the little cuties who like it, have a bubble~)
