Chapter 37: The Stepmother Seeks Revenge

Gu Mai took the initiative to say. "I can continue to clean up this chicken."

"Will you?" He asked, mainly because she was too young, and now she was five or six years old.

"Uh-huh!" Gu Mai nodded. "I see my dad cleaned up the chickens, and I know where to wash them."

He Beichen said. "Okay, then you clean up, I'm going to find the wood."

Gu Mai searched around, and found a broken iron basin and a casserole with stubble. "Let's make some more rice!"

Gu Mai grabbed a few handfuls of rice and put them in the casserole and handed them to him. "Brother, by the way, wash the rice and bring it back!"

He Beichen frowned. "You just order food like this, and you have to eat until your father comes back, and if you eat like this, you won't have enough to eat."

"But I'm hungry." Gu Mai said pitifully.

In fact, her stomach is really hungry, she hasn't eaten a full meal for a long time, and looking at the snow-white chicken, just looking at the raw meat is already salivating, and when the meat is cooked, she is not even more hungry.

As soon as he thought of soaking rice in chicken soup, the aroma of chicken soup soaked in every plump grain of rice, and Gu Mai's saliva began to flood.

He Beichen grabbed the rice back again, leaving only a little grain of rice. "These are enough for you to eat alone, my brother is not hungry, don't eat."

Gu Mai pursed his mouth. "How can my brother not be hungry...... Anyway, I don't care, I want my brother to eat with me. She grabbed some more rice and put it back into the casserole.

He Beichen was especially anxious for her. "Little sister, the food is really not eaten like this, and you will be hungry when the time comes."

Gu Mai smiled. "No, I weighed it before and said that this is four catties of fine grain, I can exchange it for 16 catties of coarse grain, now we eat a little bit, it is estimated that it is only one or two rice, then I still have three catties and nine taels of rice left, and I can still exchange 15 catties and eight taels of coarse grain, these coarse grains must be enough for me to eat until my father comes back."

He Beichen touched Gu Mai's head, and his eyes looked like a little fool.

Gu Mai was a little unconvinced. "Little brother, did I miscalculate? I don't think I'm wrong. ”

"Well, you're right, you're smart. But you have to know that nowadays everyone can't eat enough coarse grains, and no one will exchange coarse grains for you. He Beichen said a practical problem.

Forehead...... Gu Mai thought of this, she did patronize and remember the exchange of prices now, forgetting that people at this time would rather eat a basket of rotten apricots than a good peach.

"That's okay, anyway, we'll eat this one, I'll just eat more carefully in the future, and I can more or less change out some coarse grains." And what if my dad comes back early......"

Gu Mai saw that He Beichen still didn't agree, and continued. "If I really don't have enough to eat, my little brother will come and help me find a way to continue to catch pheasants for me to eat, okay!"

He Beichen nodded. "Okay, in a few days a hare will come out, I'll catch a hare for you, the meat of the hare is fatter and more fragrant."

"Good ......" Gu Mai salivated again just by listening to the word 'hare'.

She forced herself to calm down, the pheasant hadn't eaten yet, so she had better get the pheasant first.

……

He Beichen went to the river to wash the rice, then filled it with water and sat the casserole on another fire.

Gu Mai had also cleaned up and washed the pheasants, and then used a knife to unload a few pieces of the pheasants and stew them in a pot.
