Bai Erzhu hurriedly said, "Don't tell me, I might be able to pick up food this time when I enter the city."
Seeing him with a serious face, Mrs. Bai didn't seem to be lying, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Bai Erzhu leaned into the ear of the old lady and deliberately lowered his voice: "Mother, when I am working in the field today, it is convenient for me to go halfway to the bushes. I heard two people who came to collect mountain products from the city talking, and they explained the truth. The Xu’s steamed buns in the town were opened. One hundred steamed buns were prepared. Five people were invited to compete to eat steamed buns. Whoever ate the most was rewarded with a bag of flour."
"Mother, this is a bag of flour. How long will it last for our family?" Bai Erzhu smiled from ear to ear, as if the bag of flour had been delivered to their Bai family's door.
The old lady Bai looked incredulous, "There are still such good things in this world? I ask you to eat steamed buns without money, and I will give you a bag of flour after eating. Then the boss of Xu Ji Baozi Shop has got water in his head?"
Bai Erzhu said: "People's minds are not in the water. Participating in the competition is also conditional. It is not an individual who can participate. You have to pay first."
Old lady Bai asked: "How much?"
Bai Erzhu stretched out a palm: "Not much, fifty essays."
The old lady had the final say, and said suspiciously: "These fifty wen is enough to buy ten big steamed buns, will you come back after the match?"
Bai Erzhu smiled and said: "Of course, as long as you win the game, you will not only get back fifty cents, but also give away a bag of white noodles. What a good deal!"
This calculation is indeed very cost-effective, the old lady nodded: "Okay, then you will go to the city tomorrow, but you must carry the white noodles back. Our family hasn't tasted the steamed buns in some days."
Bai Erzhu smiled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to the old lady: "Take the money."
The old lady went back to the house to fetch the money. Bai Erzhu hurriedly followed in. Seeing the old lady taking out a handful of coppers from the locked wooden box and counting them one by one, he smiled and said, "Mother, give me sixty essays. I will bring them. Keep it on your body to ensure that you don’t mess around."
The old lady was thinking about the bag of white flour, thinking that ten wen is not too much, so give it to him, so she simply counted sixty wen to him.
The Liu in the kitchen grabbed two of the rice in the tank and washed it out. Seeing her husband squeezed in, he hurriedly asked, "What did you do with your eyebrows just now?"
Bai Dazhu glanced behind him and saw that no one was coming, he whispered: "After a while, we will cook the porridge and hide the thicker in a bowl. Let's eat when we are hungry at night."
Liu clan was taken aback, his eyes rounded and said: "It's amazing to let my mother know."
Drinking gruel and swallowing vegetables all day, without any oily water, will be hungry in the middle of the night. If you can really get some food and hide it until the evening, it will be great.
Bai Dazhu smiled softly: "You idiot, you are cooking today. You put a handful of rice and hide a bowl when they don't pay attention. Who knows?"
Liu gradually smiled: "That's right, it's up to you." The unhappiness in his heart when he was assigned to cook dinner also disappeared at this time.
Seeing Bai Dazhu turned around to leave, she hurriedly called: "Hey-didn't you say you want to hit me? Where will this go?"
Bai Da stigma did not reply: "Is it necessary for me to kill you if I just live like this? Work on yourself, I will go to bed, the sun outside at noon is too poisonous, it's mosquitoes and flies, I didn't sleep. Okay, I can’t open my eyes anymore, so remember to call me when the meeting starts."
