Chapter 16: Still too poor
"Aren't there wild mushrooms and wild vegetables at home today? Add a pound of wild vegetables and a pound of wild mushrooms to the porridge, how can you use half a bowl of rice. Sun said as he snatched the bowl from Mu Li's hand, poured all the rice in the bowl into the rice bowl, and reached in to grab a handful of rice.
Sun's hands, accustomed to farm work, are very thick, but also very big, a handful of rice has more than three taels, she is too much, and leaked some rice into the tank, only to put the pitiful little rice in her hand into the basin, asked Mu Li to wash.
Mu Li looked at the rice grains in the basin that were not even covered in the basin, and looked at Sun helplessly: "Mother, there is too little rice." ”
There are six people in the family, six mouths, or four men and two women, just a pound of rice and a pound of wild vegetables and a pound of mushrooms to think about things, which is too economical.
"It's a lot, a pound of wild vegetables is cooked with a pound of mushrooms, there will be a lot." Sun is accustomed to it.
Mu Li frowned, but she could only take it and cook it.
Today, I took the risk of picking these wild mushrooms and came back, just to let my family eat enough tonight, but I didn't expect that after having mushrooms and wild vegetables, Sun actually deducted most of the rice.
Mu Li shook her head and didn't insist anymore, in the end, her family was too poor.
After washing the rice, he poured the rice into the pot with a large basin of water, licked the firewood again, and Mu Li went to get wild mushrooms, a few catties of wild mushrooms, half a catty of wild mushrooms in the afternoon, plus half a catty of wild mushrooms just now, there is not a lot left.
Mu Li wanted to pick a pound and a half of wild mushrooms, but there was no way, the amount of rice had decreased, so she had to add more wild mushrooms, otherwise she would rely on so many things to fill the stomachs of the three adults.
Unexpectedly, the Sun family already knew how much her daughter had been running a family recently, and when Mu Li picked up almost a catty, she was not allowed to pick it up again, and then took the catty of wild mushrooms and asked her to chop up the wild vegetables she had washed just now, so that she could make porridge.
The wild mushrooms are all broken, no need to cut them, and they can be boiled directly in the pot after washing, so this is called Mu Li, who wants to secretly take out some wild mushrooms from the space and cook them in the pot.
"Mother, it's too little, I can't eat enough at all, if you want wild mushrooms, there are still a lot of them." Mu Li frowned and said.
"When have you eaten enough at home, as for wild mushrooms, if you can still store them in the sun, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat them all?" Sun Shi glanced at this girl who had been too ignorant recently, and said: "The rice at home is almost gone, and your father has to borrow rice from others, and the things in the field will not be harvested until three months later. ”
Sun didn't know that if there was little dinner, everyone would not be full, but if it was really as Mu Li said, how much rice would it take and how many days of food would be reduced?
Moreover, even if you save it like this, you won't be able to last many days.
Mu Li couldn't refute it.
In other words, she is too poor, and she has to find a way to solve the food crisis at home as soon as possible.
"Hey, why is there so much less salt?"
When the porridge was about to be cooked, Sun wanted to take the salt and put it, but when he saw that the salt in the salt jar was a lot less, he immediately glared at Mu Li.
Where is the lack of salt, she put a little bit of wild mushroom soup twice, it's really not much, it can be seen that Sun's salt is a few particles?
"I just put a little bit of it in the wild mushroom soup." Mu Li could only say, with such a little salt, you can find that it is less.
Sun glared: "The wild mushroom soup is very delicious, you don't need to put salt, and you are not allowed to put it in the future." ”
