Late at night, Qin Niu's origins were unclear, and if he were to commit an indecent act, it would disgrace the mistress of the house.
Soon, the mistress brought out two boiled purse-shaped eggs.
"Brother Qin, our family is poor and we don't have much to offer you. These two eggs, please don't disdain them, just make do and fill your stomach. If you would like to eat this cornbread, I'll take it back to the kitchen and warm it up for you."
The cornbread was generally made from coarse grains.
Rich families never ate this.
It was only for the servants to eat.
To offer it to a guest was indeed a bit shabby, but for some poor families, even cornbread was not enough to satisfy their hunger.
The saying goes that the full man does not understand the plight of the hungry, and it originates from this kind of situation.
The rich get tired of eating meat and fish every day and think of changing tastes constantly.
The poor can't even get enough rice to eat.
