Chapter 261 Eat from a big pot
When Lin Xi led a group of kids down the mountain, the villagers were queuing up to get food, each holding a large bowl.
They brought their own bowls and chopsticks from home, and asked the wives who served the meals to scoop half a bowl of rice for them, and then cover them with half a bowl of vegetables. Then everyone squatted aside with the steaming, piled-up large bowls and concentrated on eating.
Lin Xi looked at this situation and thought it was just like the communal meals she had eaten in her previous life.
"Children, you are back just in time. Go to your parents and get bowls and chopsticks, and come over to eat some food!"
The village chief's wife, who was distributing food to the villagers, noticed Lin Xi and others with her sharp eyes, waved at them with a smile on her face and said.
The children were all hungry, and upon hearing what was said, they ran to the wives who were cooking, put down the fish, and then dispersed to ask their parents for bowls and chopsticks.
"Xi'er, are we going to stew all this fish?"
Cao looked at the baskets of spiritual fish on the ground and couldn't help but hesitate. Wouldn't it be a waste to eat so many spiritual fish at one time?
While scooping vegetables for the children, Daya Niang agreed, "Yes, Lin Xi, this is too much. I think we can just stew five or six to satisfy everyone's cravings, and save the rest for later!"
"That's right, girl Lin Xi, didn't you say that you will need this spirit fish to replenish your spiritual power in the future? We can't just eat it as an ordinary fish, it's such a waste!"
After Damazi's mother scooped a large spoonful of cabbage stewed with pork for Goudan, she looked at the spirit fish on the ground and said with reluctance.
The rest of the villagers also said that they should just stew a few for everyone to taste, and leave the rest for the children to eat for their future practice. The adults could take pills for their practice, so this way they could save some spirit fish.
What if all the big fish in the pond are eaten up and the small fish have not yet grown up? Wouldn’t that affect the children’s cultivation?
Everyone still puts their children first in their hearts. They want to practice cultivation only for the sake of good health and longevity, and to be able to spend more time with their children. They don't really think they can become immortals. If cultivating immortals were really that easy, the world would be full of immortals.
Although Lin Xi knew that with his boundary bead, the spiritual fish was inexhaustible, he still chose to respect the villagers' ideas. He left seven or eight fish for Cao and others to stew, and put the rest in a corner of the shed.
"Lin Xi girl, come, eat more meat!"
The old mother with big pockmarks scooped a big spoonful of pork into Lin Xi's bowl and looked at her with a look of love on her face.
Lin Xi thanked her and happily took the bowl to the side to eat.
Damazi, who was standing behind Lin Xi, saw this and came up to his mother with a big bowl in his hand and said, "Mom, I want to eat more meat, too!"
"Here, eat it. Your Aunt Cao and Miss Lin Xi bought a whole pig today. You can eat as much as you want today!"
Hemp Seed's mother scooped up a large spoonful of meat without hesitation and put it into her son's bowl.
Seeing her son happily eating while walking, she also grinned happily, her teeth showing and her eyes not visible.
Seeing that there were still many children queuing behind, she scooped some meat for each of them.
Sister Cao said that today we have to eat the whole pig. We will be busy for the next period of time and we have to replenish our energy.
The relationship between the villagers became better and better, and they became closer and closer. No one was polite to the Cao family anymore.
"Oh my, Xiaohong, your rice bowl is really big! It seems that being big means you eat more!"
The village chief's wife glanced at the rice bowl floating in front of Xiaohong, then glanced at the small bowl floating in front of Xiaoque, and teased it.
"Hehe! The master said that if you eat more, you will grow faster! Auntie, please give me a little less meat first, I want to save some for the spirit fish later!"
Hearing Xiaohong calling her aunt, the village chief's wife couldn't stop smiling. How many people in this world can be called aunt by a divine beast?
She happily scooped a large spoonful of cabbage stewed with meat for Xiaohong, and scooped half a bowl for Xiaoque, Xiaobai and Xiaogui respectively. The three little guys were very polite and sweet-mouthed, calling her aunt and auntie all the time.
They also acted coquettishly and cutely towards the daughters-in-law who were distributing the food, which made the daughters-in-law feel very maternal. They kept asking them to eat slowly and leave more spirit fish for them later.
Seeing that the four little guys were getting along very well with the villagers, Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction and continued to shovel the meat in the bowl into her mouth. This pork, which had not been treated with hormones, was delicious and she could never eat enough.
In her previous life, she thought that it was because living conditions had improved that pork, chicken, etc. did not taste as good as when she was a child. Only after she came here did she realize that it was not because conditions had improved, but that the pork and chicken she ate when she grew up were indeed different from those she ate when she was a child.
"The fish is ready. If you want to eat fish, come and get some!"
Hearing what the village head's wife said, the wives who were responsible for serving food to the villagers hurriedly put down their bowls, each took a large pot of stewed fish and placed it in front of themselves, and picked up a large spoon to prepare to share the fish with everyone.
The adults asked Xiaohong and the other three kids to line up in the front, and they lined up at the back.
The wives deliberately put more fish meat into the bowls of the children and the four little ones, and the rest of the villagers only got a piece each and scooped a big bowl of fish soup.
Even so, everyone smiled with satisfaction as they drank a big bowl of delicious fish soup.
The villagers ate in groups of three or five and chatted about family matters. Those who had big appetites got up several times to get more rice. There was a lot of meat in today's dishes, and everyone's mouths were full of greasy food.
After the meal, the villagers washed their bowls and chopsticks and put the spatulas and other items they brought from home back home.
Seeing this, Cao was very puzzled. Wouldn't she need it for cooking at night? Why were they all taken away?
She quietly pulled the village chief's wife aside and asked in confusion.
The village head's wife laughed and said, "Sister, for the next period of time, every family will have to build a house. We have discussed and decided that no one needs to worry about food. After finishing work every day, you can go back to your own home to eat. This will save trouble, but it will make your family suffer a loss. We all ate a pig for nothing!"
"Don't worry, let my sister and her family take turns to eat at the homes of the villagers! Let's go to my house first. I'll go back tonight and kill two chickens, and we'll stew potatoes!"
The big-headed woman came over and smiled.
Cao declined repeatedly, saying that there were too many things to buy in the county town and it would be convenient to cook here without bothering the villagers.
The three chatted for a while, then ran to the village chief to listen to his arrangements for the afternoon.
