Chapter 6: Good Fortune Continues to Strike
After the rabbit is skinned, there are three or four catties, and it is a small half pot when cut out. Mrs. Yao was careful and instructed Li Xiaohua to wash seven or eight large potatoes, and asked Li Xiaoduo to pick a handful of garlic seedlings in her vegetable garden, half a basket of green peppers and leeks, and a few pieces of old ginger and dried peppers. A few dishes are combined, and the tender is fried in two large pots, and the whole kitchen is filled with the aroma of rabbit meat.
At night, before it gets dark, in order to save lamp oil, the whole family eats in the yard. A few half-sized children are responsible for moving the table, and a few girls are responsible for setting up stools, of course, Li Lanxi is not in the ranks of the work, she just needs to wait for dinner.
There is meat to eat today, and there is a big pot, even if it is a New Year's holiday, the family will cut a few catties of meat, and Mrs. Yao will not let it be eaten at one time. In addition, there are many people, and one person will get two or three pieces of meat each time, and there are two large pots like today, which are basically none, and everyone is very excited.
In fact, it is said that there are two large pots, and most of them are potatoes, but even so, the taste of this potato is different from the usual taste.
It's still the old rule of dividing dishes, and no one pays attention to multigrain porridge, so divide the dishes first.
Old Man Li and Li Lanxi are still full of big bowls, a lot of rabbit meat, and only a few potatoes. The other people are also a big bowl, there are more potatoes in the bowl, and there are only a few pieces of rabbit meat, but even so, everyone is very satisfied, after all, slowly a big bowl, there are not many opportunities like this, and adults and children can't stop eating.
Most of the people I usually eat are coarse grains and wild vegetables, and there is little oil and salt, and basically everyone has no oil and water in their stomachs.
Li Lanxi wanted to lose weight, but when she saw such a big bowl of rabbit meat, she hurriedly gave some to Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao was struggling with the food, and when she saw that she wanted the dishes from her daughter, she hurriedly said, "Why don't you give it back to me, you eat it quickly, there is more in the mother's bowl, you don't need yours, you eat more."
Li Lanxi said coquettishly with a bitter face, "Mother, I picked wild fruits to eat on the mountain, and my stomach was overwhelmed, but I really couldn't eat so much, you see my belly, it is bulging", and said, not forgetting to hold my stomach to show Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao really looked at her belly, it seemed to be really round, and after thinking about it, she said, "It's okay, you can't eat it, wait until you're hungry at night."
Li Lanxi didn't care, and divided some into her bowl, and then gave some to Old Man Li's bowl, even so, there was still most of the bowl left in the bowl, Li Lanxi knew that if she didn't eat at all, her mother would definitely nag again, chewing and eating slowly.
Mrs. Yao's heart is beautiful, and the food under her mouth is very fragrant. Seeing it, a bunch of sons and grandchildren, who has ever thought about giving themselves points, only their own daughters, that is to hurt themselves, and they don't hurt her in vain.
There is no leftover in the two large pots of rabbit meat, the family is very satisfied, no one eats the pot of multigrain porridge, Yao Pozi asked the Qian family to put it in the kitchen, so as not to be crawled by rats at night, and keep it for breakfast tomorrow morning.
That night, the family slept peacefully, and Li Lanxi was a little uncomfortable lying on the bed.
It is really unspeakable for a rabbit to make them so satisfied, and they have only made such a small contribution when they come here.
In the previous world, it is estimated that she can't go back, in this case, she should cherish the life here. The relatives here are also her relatives, not to mention making them rich and glorious, at least let them eat and wear without worry, otherwise what is the point of her coming here? What motivates her to live?
After thinking about these things clearly, Li Lanxi fell asleep, tomorrow, tomorrow, starting tomorrow, she wants to make herself stronger.
The next day, when Mrs. Yao's loud voice rang regularly, all the people got up to work one after another, Li Lanxi slept late at night, and she couldn't get up a little, and she couldn't change her bed-ridden problem.
The potatoes in the field have almost been harvested, and today is the end, and Old Man Li is finally relieved. The cellar was full of potatoes, the ration of the year, and they accounted for more than half of the staple food.
After breakfast, the men went down to the field with hoes, and the women fed the pigs and chickens and cleaned.
When Li Lanxi got up, everyone else had been working for a long time, and she was a little embarrassed.
When Mrs. Yao saw her get up, she first brought her a bowl of yesterday's multigrain porridge, and then went to the house to pick up two eggs and boiled white water eggs for her.
Wang was feeding the chickens on the side, and when he saw the eggs in his mother-in-law's hand, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. It is estimated that she thought of eating the rabbit that Li Lanxi brought back yesterday, so she didn't say anything for the time being, of course, even if she said it, Yao Pozi would definitely ignore her, this family is Yao Pozi's house, and it is not her turn to speak.
Li Lanxi was depressed with a bitter face, lose weight, lose weight, mother, can you stop opening a small stove for me.
Li Lanxi ate the porridge and put the eggs in her pocket, according to her mother's meaning, this must not be wasted, when she is hungry, when will she eat.
Li Lanxi thought about it, she was going to enter the mountain again today, but this time, she was going to go alone and take no one with her. She wasn't worried about Mrs. Yao, because she would have persuaded her anyway.
She went into the kitchen and found a basket to put on her back, and then found a small hoe to put in it. When you're ready, let's go find Mrs. Yao.
"What, girl, can we not go, the mountains are not fun, there are big insects, if you want to play, I will call Xiaohua to play with you" Yao Pozi is not very happy, many children in the village are also full of mountains, adults are not too worried, as long as they don't go to the deep mountains and forests, there will be no danger, but even so, she is still not very worried that her daughter will go alone.
Li Lanxi shook her head and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I don't go to the mountains, I'll just look around, it's too boring at home."
Mrs. Yao said that Li Lanxi was unmoved, anyway, she was going to the mountains.
Mrs. Yao could only compromise in the end, but the condition was that she had to take Li Xiaohua with her, and she was not at ease alone.
Li Lanxi could only reluctantly agree, as long as he could go up the mountain, take it with him.
Li Xiaohua was a little unhappy when she was called by Mrs. Yao to accompany Li Lanxi up the mountain, she was still busy hunting pigweed, how could she have time to play? Think about eating the rabbit meat she got back yesterday, forget it, go with her, it's a big deal that she will go to hunt pigweed in the afternoon.
The two of them carried a basket on their backs and went up the mountain, this time Li Lanxi was not hypocritical, although she was also easy to get tired, but she made up her mind to lose weight, she couldn't stop, and no matter how tired she was, she had to hold on.
This season seems to be April and May, and the mountains and forests are very humid and full of green leaves. Li Lanxi observed the surroundings as she walked, and the road they walked was the road that the villagers usually walked. After taking the pill, she felt that her vision and hearing had improved a lot, of course, it could also be her mental effect, after all, the pill was cyclical and gradual, there was no reason for it to have an effect so quickly.
Li Xiaohua was also looking around, she was looking to see if there were any mushrooms or something, there were no mushrooms in this season, but she couldn't help but want to look for them, what if there were.
After walking for two or three hours, they were already on the edge of the deep mountains and forests, Li Xiaohua would not let her continue to walk inside, and the two of them looked around to see if there was anything to eat.
Li Lanxi thought that he would encounter a lot of good things, but the reality was very cruel, the villagers in these sections of the road often came, and they knew it by looking at the road out. The nearby hunters will also come often, and those who can eat them are basically preemptive, not to mention the prey, and the wild fruits are also scattered, except for those that can't be picked, the green, and the ripe fruits are basically not visible.
Li Lanxi is reluctant to be discouraged, he could meet rabbits yesterday, and he will definitely be able to meet others today, even if it is a large animal, it is okay to give a pheasant.
Li Lanxi was desperately thinking about the pheasant, if he could catch the pheasant and sell it for money, he could make his mother happy for a while, thinking of Mrs. Yao's smiling face, Li Lanxi didn't notice that he was so satisfied.
"Giggle....."
Li Lanxi seemed to hear the crow of the chicken, and before he could react, he saw two pheasants popping out of the bushes, one ran to Li Lanxi's feet, clucked twice, stretched his legs, crooked his neck, and pretended to be dead. The other one, flapping its wings and fluttering, flew to Li Lanxi's head, gurgled twice, sat on one butt, and posed like a hen about to lay eggs.
Before Li Lanxi could react, he was already blinded by these two pheasants, what, what?
Even Li Xiaohua was staring at the side with big eyes, incredulous. Is this pheasant running on my aunt's head? Is it going to?
