After Chen Youyi woke up, Sun Lao came to see it again and said that it was nothing serious, and he only needed to recuperate for a period of time to recover.

But she herself didn't think it was so exaggerated, except that her body was strangled, which caused her body to be sore for a few days, like running a marathon, and when the muscle soreness eased, there would be no major problems.

"No, Sun Lao has said, you have to rest." Regarding Chen Youyi's request that he could continue to help with the work, the Qin family unanimously objected.

Mu Xiulian pressed the person on the chair and complained: "Don't cause trouble for me, I thank you, don't go anywhere these days, just stay at home!" ”

The tone was a little fierce, but Chen Youyi saw through her knife mouth tofu heart, and looked at her careful care in the past few days, she knew that she was distressed, Chen Youyi was grateful and moved. It's just that I've done a lot of things some time ago, and it's okay to rest for a few days.

"Mother, why do you still eat python meat today, I've eaten it for several days, I don't like to eat it." Qin Huai walked around the kitchen and spit bitter water at Mu Xiulian, his whole face wrinkled, it seemed that he really didn't like it.

These python meat was the one that failed to hunt Chen Youyi that day, but was cut off by Qin Ziheng with a knife. After Chen Youyi woke up, she strongly requested to pick it up as rations.

"The law of the jungle, it can't eat me, so don't blame me for making it a meal!" Chen Youyi hated this python so much that she finally got back to life and was almost killed again.

Qin Ziheng had no opinion, and quickly went back to get back the snake meat that was broken in two, and he was still very skilled in peeling and removing the bones.

"In the past, in the army, what you caught and what you eat, snakes, voles, are all delicious food that soldiers are gluttonous about." Although most of them are ordinary snakes, pythons don't eat much, but the handling techniques are similar.

Chen Youyi imagined that kind of life, and always felt a little sad, even if Qin Ziheng couldn't help but have a little curved arc at the corner of his mouth when he said it.

Qin Ziheng's handling of snakes is good, but his cooking skills are a lot worse, either boiled in water, or roasted with fire, and the seasoning will only be smeared with a little salt on it, and finally under the guidance of Chen Youyi, he fried and stewed, and ate a delicious snake meat feast with tricks.

"I didn't expect snake meat to be eaten like this." Qin Ziheng was surprised by Chen Youyi's thoughts, and praised: "You are really talented, these ways of eating, even the big restaurants in the capital have never seen them." ”

Isn't it? Chen Youyi said in his heart, I am the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom, and you don't have it at this time. Unfortunately, some methods require the use of an oven to be more extreme, and due to the limitations of tools, they can only be compromised.

In such a situation, it is also a delicacy, and the Qin family is full of oil. Even Mu Xiulian, after refusing to take the first bite and disgusting the snake meat, was tempted by the aroma to eat a piece, she followed the meal with pleasure.

"I'll take this bowl and give it to Sister-in-law Zhang," Chen Youyi packed two large bowls of fragrant roast snake meat and sent it to Sister-in-law Zhang: "If it weren't for Sister-in-law Zhang this time, it would be really choking, I have to thank her in person." ”

Chen Youyi couldn't be clearer about the dangers of high fever, if it weren't for Zhang's sister-in-law's earthwork, she would either not be treated in time, or she would have spent all the savings at home.

came to Sister-in-law Zhang's house with a food box, and Chen Youyi saw that Sister-in-law Zhang's house was really not doing well. There was only one hut, which looked quite old, and traces of tinkering were everywhere. The only advantage is that it is very clean inside and out.

"Why did you come here in person? Sit down, sit down! Sister-in-law Zhang was turning out some beans to dry, and when she saw Chen Youyi coming over, she quickly moved a stool and asked her to sit down.

Chen Youyi said with a smile: "I'm here to thank my sister-in-law, if my sister-in-law hadn't gone out in the middle of the night to dig up fine leaves and boil soup for me, I don't know what to do now, you are my life-saving benefactor." ”

This is what I heard from Mu Xiulian later, sister-in-law Zhang knew about Chen Youyi's illness, so she got up before dawn, dug up the herbs and fried them herself.

"What you said is from the villagers, who doesn't have a headache and brain fever?" Sister-in-law Zhang said heartily: "It's also a coincidence, when I was young, I was also frightened and burned for several days. ”

Either way, it's a favor.

Chen Youyi handed the food box to Sister-in-law Zhang and said, "This is the snake meat of that python, it tastes very good, I want to give it to my sister-in-law to taste." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang was very surprised when she saw it, and she was amazed: "In the past, some people caught snakes and killed them to eat, but they never tasted so good!" This snake meat is better than the barbecue in the county restaurant, and I have never eaten such a delicious barbecue! ”

In addition to the common spices, some peppercorns are also added, and the taste is of course more than other barbecue meats, which also gives Chen Youyi a reassurance, she is also worried that people here are not used to eating spicy, will they not accept it, and now it seems that she is too worried.

Previously they didn't eat it, more because they didn't.

After thanking Sister-in-law Zhang, Chen Youyi went to Sister-in-law Lin's house again and sent a bowl to their mother and son. Sister-in-law Lin also came to visit after learning that Chen Youyi had an accident.

After seeing the poverty of Sister-in-law Zhang's family, and seeing that Sister-in-law Lin's family was also poor, Chen Youyi felt very uncomfortable. On the way back, she deliberately took a long detour and walked around the village.

Since she came here, she quickly went to the county seat to do business, and then she was busy softening the attitude of the Qin family, most of the time she was in the Qin family and her own house, and she really didn't observe the situation in the village well.

Today, she saw that the hardship of life in the village was even more serious than she imagined.

"There are fields in the village, mountains and water, fish and shrimp, and a lot of precipitation, so it stands to reason that you won't be so nervous." After going back, Chen Youyi was full of questions, and went to Qin Ziheng to ask for an explanation: "Why did you see that everyone in the village lived in tatters, and she was almost hungry." ”

Although it is not hungry and not much better, white rice is not enough to eat in one meal. In the three meals a day, there are always one or two meals that need to drink half a bowl of rice to cook a large pot of porridge.

When Qin Ziheng heard this, he looked at Chen Youyi, and the emotion in his eyes made Chen Youyi's heart inexplicably weak. Qin Ziheng quickly retracted his gaze, and then looked at it as usual.

"It's not God who makes the villagers hungry." Qin Ziheng said: "Most of the fields in the village are owned by the landlords in the county, and everyone has worked hard for a year, and half of them have to be handed over to the landlords as renters. ”

"In addition," he said in a light tone, but sounded a little indifferent: "There are also a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes from the imperial court, and the people in the village have to pay all kinds of taxes from the imperial court after paying the landlord's rent, and all that is left is barely enough to eat." ”
