Chapter 30: Be poor every minute
Knowing that Baitao wanted Zibai, not only was no one curious, but the children in the village all expressed that they wanted to dig it, and they would not let him.
"We have satchels, and my aunt agrees that we have grown up. Why don't we let us dig purple cypresses?"
"You adults are allowed to look for things for my aunt, but we are not allowed to get close to my aunt?"
"Don't look at us as small people, we can move much faster than you."
"We also have satchels, and we have grown up..."
"My aunt is also ours."
"We must also honor our aunt."
Having said that, it is no longer appropriate to stop the children.
Each family had no choice but to agree, and told the children not to run far away, but to stay with three or five friends...
"When you carry the shoulder bag given by your aunt, you have to listen to your words even more. My aunt told you not to run too far..."
"You guys said you were going to dig up purple cypress. If I find out that you are causing trouble and running away for fun, watch your butts."
Everyone else has a mother, older brothers and sisters, or a father or grandparents to guide them, but Bai Xiaocao and his younger brother don't.
Bai Xiaocao looked at the others, then subconsciously held her brother's hand tightly, and said: "Shitou, you and your sister are together, just like when you were digging wild vegetables in the village before, stay close to your sister, don't go too far."< br>
Bai Shitou nodded obediently.
Children from poor families are already in charge, not to mention that their parents died early.
Not to mention that the white stone is not big, in fact, in Taohua Village, five or six-year-old children carry bamboo baskets and follow the older brothers and sisters in the village up the mountain to collect firewood, cut grass, and dig wild vegetables.
Many children aged seven or eight will carry their younger siblings, who are one and two years old, up the mountain with them, so that the adults in the family can be free to tend the fields.
The scene was so heated at the moment, Baitao wondered to herself, should she say something now?
After thinking about it, she cleared her throat, and seeing everyone looking over, she warned, "Don't run too far, we'll have delicious food tonight."
When they heard that they were going to eat delicious food in the evening, the adults were fine, but the children cheered happily: "That's great~"
"Auntie, we listen to you."
The adults were helpless and funny. They laughed and scolded the monkey and said nothing more.
Little did Baitao know at this time that because of her sudden idea of arranging satchels, the people of Taohua Village later started the custom of sewing satchels for their children to symbolize their growth.
As these children followed their mothers, sisters and brothers to dig purple cypress, the cave suddenly became quieter.
The remaining people who stayed in the cave were not idle. Baitao scratched his head with his little hands. Everyone was working, should he do something too?
After thinking about it, she immediately called Bai Duoxi.
"What shall we have for dinner?"
It was less than four hours before seven o'clock in the evening, but it was getting dark early now, and Bai Tao was fine, so he started thinking about the dinner menu.
Bai Duoxi reported what he had as usual, but before he was halfway through his words, Baitao shook his head and interrupted.
"Eat something else."
With so much money, you should have a luxurious meal once in a while.
Bai Duo was overjoyed, her aunt had an idea, so she nodded: "Auntie, I will listen to your arrangement."
"It seems like I haven't eaten rice for a long time." Baitao turned over the recipe in his hand and said this when he looked up.
She seemed to have forgotten that she had eaten a special lunch box before, and she licked her lips in the direction of the white pumice stone inside: "There are three hundred kilograms of rice in it. You can make rice for the big guys." While speaking, the white peach handle was I took out the rice I bought at a special price, and then bought another 100 kilograms to make up for it.
She murmured in her heart that it was more cost-effective to buy the products on sale. She should have bought more in the first place. Now these 100 kilograms of rice cost 500 yuan, which was a loss.
"Also, the meat of the sausage is a bit sweet, so you can put it into the rice and steam it, three pieces per person."
The original price of bacon sausage was 25 yuan and 6 yuan per catty, but she bought 300 jins. It was part of a group purchase, priced at 13 yuan and 8 yuan per catty.
The weather was cold, so it was best to eat some chili peppers. Baitao bought some chili peppers with less spiciness, and took out the 80 kilograms of frozen pork belly from before, so he fried the pork belly with chili peppers.
Eighty kilograms of pork belly is definitely not enough to feed more than 200 people. Calculated as one kilogram of meat per adult, Baitao bought another 120 kilograms.
The regular price of pork belly is 19.9 yuan per pound, but it is 2,388 yuan.
A chicken drumstick for each person under ten years old costs 6.8 yuan each. If I buy 60 in total, it will cost 408 yuan.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, everyone of all ages will like it.
I took out the remaining eggs from last time and bought some tomatoes, which cost 1.9 yuan a pound, which cost 722 yuan.
"That's all for now." Baitao said, waving his hand to indicate that Bai Duoxi could go to work.
"Hey, aunt, don't worry, I'll make preparations right away."
When he saw the neatly arranged things in the cave, even though he had seen such a scene many times and was mentally prepared for it, Bai Duoxi still gasped sharply.
But soon, he calmed down, called someone to move the things outside together, and began to prepare meticulously.
A dinner costs more than 8,000 coins, Baitao muttered to himself while browsing the mall.
Other people's family is a half-year-old boy who is living in poverty. She is a person of more than 200 people, and her aunt is going to be living in poverty in a minute.
After muttering and thinking of Zibai, Baitao turned around and ordered a lot of toothpaste, toothbrushes and soap.
She can't just be clean herself, others must also be hygienic to prevent all kinds of diseases caused by poor hygiene.
I originally wanted to buy shampoo, but when I thought about how I was escaping, something with so much foam and a lot of water was not suitable.
Outside the cave, Bai Duoxi took several villagers who were recognized as good cooks in the village and started preparing dinner.
There were no chili peppers at this time. Some villagers had eaten them before when eating lunch boxes, but this was the first time to see them in their entirety.
Everyone gathered around the black frame containing the chili peppers, holding the chili peppers in their hands and looking around in admiration.
"Is this the chili that my aunt said? Is this what I ate last time?"
“It looks weird, but it’s indescribably beautiful.”
"My aunt said that there are many varieties of chili peppers. This kind is not spicy and can be eaten by children aged four or five." Bai Duoxi said casually.
A villager looked at the tomatoes with both hands and was reluctant to put them down: "I don't know how these tomatoes were grown. They are so big and red."
There are tomatoes in this world, but despite their small size, even when they are ripe, they are green with reddish color, which is different from the white peaches.
"Yes, it would be great if I could meet someone who grows tomatoes like this and ask for advice." Farmers will naturally admire and admire someone who can grow good crops.
