Chapter 133 Roast, roast, eat, eat
"It's too hot to eat yet. Let it cool down a bit." Lin Chunyi used a stick to pull out another ear of corn.
Lin Lanshan was getting anxious as she looked at the corn that was tempting her but couldn't touch it yet.
She plucked two blades of grass from the side and placed them on the corn, then took a thin stick from the woodpile.
Then, pressing down on the corn under the grass with his right hand, he used his left hand to thread a thin stick through the cob's core, lifted it up, and said triumphantly:
"Haha, the brave should enjoy the world first!" She blew hard on the hot corn and took a bite.
I swished a mouthful of corn kernels around in my mouth a couple of times, then chewed and swallowed them.
"Sis, the roasted ones are definitely better than the boiled ones!" The first chew is crispy on the outside, and the next chew is a combination of crispy skin and tender flesh, with an exceptionally chewy texture.
After the first bite, the second bite wasn't too hot. Lin Lanshan happily munched on her roasted corn, one bite after another, occasionally blowing hot air from her mouth.
Lin Chunyi squatted on the ground, using a twig to pok at the freshly roasted corn, blowing on it to cool it down. She then imitated her sister, threading a stick through the corn and eating it.
The two squatted down and finished eating their roasted corn. Then they looked at each other, laughed, and sat down on the ground.
Lin Lanshan sat slumped on the ground, pointing her grime-covered fingers at her sister's face and laughing loudly.
"Hahaha, sis, your mouth and hands are covered in soot, like you just came out of a coal mine after a big meal!"
"You're the same, aren't you? There's a black ring around your mouth, and your teeth are all black when you laugh... Hahaha." Lin Chunyi also laughed, revealing her black teeth.
Earthen kilns are like that; it's difficult to control the temperature, and the food baked there is very easy to burn.
Luckily, the two sisters got to eat this kind of charcoal on their very first day of baking in their new oven.
The aroma of roasted corn made them look forward to the roasted potatoes and eggs that followed.
They all sat on the grass and didn't get up, just staring longingly at the stones at the kiln entrance, waiting idly.
The sound of footsteps approached from behind, and the two turned around to look...
Sure enough, their wild pets, which roam the mountains and fields and are often nowhere to be seen, have come!
They always wander off when they're working, and you can't find them anywhere. But as soon as there's something to eat, they come running back as if they've been given a GPS tracker.
"Uh!" "Gurgle!" "Caw!" They came from far away smelling the food, but where is the food? Why can't I see it?
The two owners had nothing in their hands except for two corn cobs and a few charred corn husks on the ground.
Peach leaned closer and smelled the two sisters; they smelled of food. Then she lowered her head and smelled the corn cobs on the ground.
That's it!
It opened its mouth and started crunching on the corn cob, while Tuanyuan and Ankang ran over to eat another one.
"You eat corn cobs? Is there anything edible in this stuff? Look how tempted you are, aren't you afraid of choking on them?"
"You look like we've been abusing you every day, like you've never had anything good to eat." Lin Lanshan curiously poked at the peach's puffed-out cheeks as it chewed.
"Mmm, mmm..." it responded between bites.
It doesn't really understand either, what's so delicious about this thing? It's hard to chew and doesn't have much flavor... but it does smell good!
The two children beside them, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, were struggling to peck at the corn cobs. An An and Kang Kang, on the other hand, couldn't get any into their mouths at all, and could only suck on the faint sweetness.
Lin Chunyi, however, thought they seemed to be enjoying their meal quite much, and chimed in:
"The corn cob still has a slightly sweet taste. I've chewed it before, and it's edible. And if it weren't edible, they wouldn't eat it, so it's fine."
Peach and Reunion: Our master really overestimates our appetites... We haven't been poisoned by wild food yet, all thanks to our willingness to eat anything and our complete fearlessness!
He's just lucky to be alive.
"Let me check if the potatoes and eggs are cooked. They seem to be enjoying them, and I'm getting hungry again."
Lin Lanshan moved the stone aside, used a stick to pry the fist-sized black lump out a few times, and then poked it in. "It's soft and mushy, so it should be cooked."
Lin Chunyi also came over to watch, waiting for her younger sister to take out the two potatoes covered in black ash.
She easily pierced the potato with the thin stick she had just used to pierce corn cobs. She couldn't feel any hard core; it was definitely cooked.
The two lumps, their skins charred black, were separated by a thin stick, revealing two halves of golden, soft potatoes, still steaming hot.
"Snapped!"
Lin Lanshan reacted quickly, covering the big mouth on the outstretched head. "Peach, you're ambushing me, aren't you? You're pretty fast, I almost couldn't stop you."
Come on, come on, go eat your corn on the cob! We haven't even had any roasted potatoes yet, there's no room for you.
Pets should have the self-awareness of pets; they should let their owners eat the best things first!
"Mmm~" Peach's mouth was covered by her, so she gave up resisting and rubbed against her hand, starting to act cute.
Faced with delicious food, Lin Lanshan was not tempted by anything, and wouldn't budge whether she was being coerced or not. "What are you whining about? Am I the master or are you the master? Let me taste the first bite before you eat."
It ruthlessly pushed its head away.
Lin Chunyi poked the black skin with a thin stick, and half a potato shook on the ground. A lot of hot air visibly rose from the flesh.
It was still very hot; I didn't dare touch it, let alone handle it.
He also scolded it, saying, "Don't even talk about who ate it first. It's still steaming hot. If you had taken a bite directly from there, your mouth would have been burned and swollen, believe me?"
She doesn't care whether it's hot or not and dares to put it directly on her hands and lips. Her IQ is comparable to her sister's.
"Eek~" It's only smelled the aroma, hasn't tasted a single bite yet, it really wants to eat it...
Seeing that their eldest sister had been thwarted, Tuanyuan and Ankang naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move and launch an open attack.
Dada came over and stared longingly at its two owners. It waited quietly for them to eat.
The two sisters blew on the cool air for a while before tentatively extending their black claws...
Delicate, soft, and fragrant roasted potatoes, sprinkled with a little chili salt, are absolutely delicious!
They each ate half, and their fingers were so black that the lines on their fingers were no longer visible.
Peach and Reunion stared at them, craning their necks to stare at them, and craning their necks even further to stare at them.
Even before taking a bite, their heads were still trying to move forward...
This probably explains why some pets are the same type of owners.
Even though I eat from morning till night every day and never leave anything behind, I still crave food all the time.
Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it; they raised them themselves.
Lin Chunyi, being stingy, cut the potato in half again.
Half for the peaches.
The other half was then divided in two, one for Reunion and the other for Peace and Health. "Eat up, eat up, look how hungry you are."
"...Is that all? Are you feeding it to the bugs?" Peach and Reunion looked at the potatoes on the ground, then at them, their eyes revealing this question.
