C8 (1/2)
After a short while, the old couple started to argue over the spoonful of rice. In the end, Liu Mei threatened her with not even cooking anymore, so she took the opportunity when Zhang Daniu hesitated slightly to grab it and scooped another bowl. With one hand still holding the spoon, she poured the other hand into her mouth.
Zhang Daniu didn't show any weakness either. Seeing that Liu Mei wasn't going to let go, he picked up the pot and poured the rest into his bowl. Seeing that there was still one last bite left in the pot, he poured it directly into his mouth …
”Father, mother, this is …” Zhang Xiaoloong didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the old couple. He never thought that he would see such a scene, ”This big pot of porridge was already finished by you, are you going to eat this steamed bun or vegetables?”
”I'm not eating anymore!” The couple shouted in unison this time.
The old couple finished the pot and set their eyes on the bowl in front of Zhang Xiaoloong. They were determined to not stop until they had drunk it all.
Dad, mom, you guys should have enough, ”Zhang Xiaoloong pointed towards the yard helplessly.” These few acres of corn, even if you guys only drink corn porridge every day, it won't be enough to cover your meals no matter how good the porridge is.
As he spoke, he also picked up the bowl and took a sip.
As soon as the mouthful of porridge entered his mouth, it was immediately filled with a sweet and fragrant taste, bringing with it a warm feeling. As it slid down his throat, it was as if he had massaged his stomach and intestines, and all the pores on his body were suffused with a refreshing sensation.
Even though Zhang Xiaoloong was mentally prepared, his eyes still lit up at the deliciousness of the dish. It was indeed delicious.
”Your son is right. Let's eat.” Although Liu Mei was a little reluctant, she still sat down and started to eat the rice without the porridge.
”Xiaoloong, the reason why the congee has become so delicious is also because of the geographical reason that you mentioned?” Zhang Daniu, who sat down, suddenly asked.
”Ugh …” Yes, it should be. ” Zhang Xiaoloong was just playing around. He can't possibly say that it's because I poured God Power into it, right?
”Then, next year when corn is grown in this field, will it still be as tasty as it is now?” Zhang Daniu asked.
”What's wrong? Eating for a year isn't enough. Do you want to eat for a few more years?” Liu Mei rolled her eyes at her husband.
”Your hair is growing short, isn't it? If he grew like this every year, then he would become a treasure while contracting out this land, ”Zhang Daniu's face was filled with disgust,” Don't even mention Qinghe Village, even the entire Qingyuan County wouldn't be able to find a place to produce this corn. If that's the case, then when we sell this corn, we will have to sell it for a little more than others, and our harvest this season will be able to match other people's for two seasons.
”It can be that expensive?” Liu Mei became more spirited the moment she heard that, but she still found it hard to believe.
”You don't know, I heard that the rich people in the city don't even feel like eating meat anymore. They just like corn and sorghum, these coarse grains. Such a delicious corn like ours, if they touched it, they wouldn't care about spending a lot of money.” Zhang Daniu said seriously. Actually, he had only heard of it before, so he wasn't too sure about it.
