Chapter 162: The Grace of a Meal

The cargo ship was very large, and the place where they sat on the ship was very small, and the boatmen yelled at them viciously not to walk around, and Gan Wenli comforted them, this ship was not specially designed to carry people, so the attitude was not good, but after the ship drove away smoothly, they could still move around a little.

Zou Xiaoxi hugged Gan Shiyi tightly and asked her in a low voice if she was hungry, Gan Xiaotang shook her head, she looked curiously at the other people sitting in the cabin, and it could be seen that there were many young ladies dressed as men, some were willing to blacken their faces and plug their ears and eyes, and some were perfunctory and only changed into men's clothes, their hair was wrapped in a cloth towel, and their bodies were fragrant.

Gan Xiaotang looked at his mother and aunt again, and they were still dressed up quite similarly.

There was a small cubicle in the cabin, and there were two gong buckets in it, and the boatman said early in the morning that he would save some urine, and that he could only go out at night to pour the gong buckets and pour them himself.

Everyone was reluctant to sit next to each other, Gan Wenli's chosen position was next to the door, opposite to the cubicle, but he was in the upper hand, he knew that so many people were in one room, and the air in the room would be polluted in the next few days, and fresh air would come in next to the door.

Gan Mingli didn't ask why he chose it at the door, this air inlet was cold, he took out a half-used big blanket in his luggage, which was originally prepared to be used to lay on the ground in an unclean place to sit, and now he and Zou Xinsheng are supporting this blanket one after another, wrapping Zou Xiaoxi, Zou Xiaomei and Gan Shiyi inside, airtight.

"Second brother sit next to me." Gan Mingli greeted and said, and the two of them sat at the door like gods.

There are travelers who are in groups and those who are alone, there are those who huddle in the corner with their burdens, and there are also big horns who lie on the ground and only care about their own pleasure, and the nearest one in the compartment is a man who describes himself as down-and-out and ragged.

He didn't sit there at first, but he was chased away in disgust after he had sat down, and he tossed and turned in the cabin several times, and finally at the edge of the cubicle, no one looked at him.

Gan Xiaotang secretly looked at him from behind the blanket, and accidentally the two met each other's eyes, and she immediately buried her face in Zou Xiaoxi's arms, and Zou Xiaoxi thought she was sleepy.

It was groggy in the cabin, and I didn't know what time it was outside, at first there were still people talking, but gradually they all calmed down, and Gan Xiaotang staggered and fell asleep.

When he was woken up again, there was a bean-sized light in the cabin, "The ship has stopped, it won't go again at night, do you want to follow your brother to the deck." ”

Gan Xiaotang was not awake yet, but her hand had already stretched out, Gan Mingli hugged her and walked outside, Zou Xiaoxi was supported by Zou Xiaomei, and moved her numb hands and feet. Zou Xiaomei also said that it would be nice if she could borrow a stove from the boat boss and cook something hot to eat.

Gan Xiaotang came to the deck, looking at the wide water, the ship was docked some distance from the shore, and there was no dock in this place, so it could not be completely to the shore.

The sun hung in the sky and left only a mild salted egg yolk, and the birds skimmed the water, leaving a trail of water.

Gan Xiaotang was not interested after only looking at it, Gan Mingli took her back again, and replaced other people to come out to breathe, Zou Xiaoxi divided the dry food, and there were some braised beef and sauerkraut in the cooking cake, which was crispy and sour, Gan Xiaotang couldn't eat half of it, and let Gan Mingli eat the remaining half.

After Gan Xiaotang drank the water, Zou Xiaoxi handed her a jar with candied plums in it and asked her to eat it in her mouth.

Everyone else in the cabin was also eating, and the cooking cakes with meat and vegetables like them were already considered good dry food, and most of them were steamed buns, choking on their chests while eating.

Gan Xiaotang noticed that the man on the side of the cubicle didn't seem to be eating, since he looked at her, the man slept on the ground, motionless, and some people in the middle were worried that he would die in the cabin, and he would kick him when he passed by, and only after getting a reaction did he scold and walk away.

Gan Xiaotang's curiosity gradually rose, as long as he was awake, he kept secretly paying attention to him, and after confirming that he had not eaten or drunk, he was moved by compassion, and after going to the toilet and coming out, he wanted to go by himself, so he threw an oiled paper bag on the man.

The man moved, and he looked up just in time to see Zou Xiaoxiao picking up Gan Xiaotang, and Gan Xiaotang also said to you with a mouth shape. The man was stunned for a moment, the oil paper bag exuded a fragrance, which made his originally unconscious stomach react, this is not a steamed bun, he stopped and said. "Little brother's stuff is gone."

Gan Wenli came over to take a look and said with a smile, "Little brother, please invite you to dinner, don't dislike it." ”

Zou Xiaoxi quietly asked Gan Xiaotang what he was doing, and Gan Xiaotang said that he hadn't eaten, so pitiful, he would starve to death.

Then they watched the man eat the cookcake slowly and with great preciousness, and Gan Xiaotang suspected that he had chewed thirty times in every bite.

"Mother, aren't our cookcakes delicious?" Gan Xiaotang asked.

"Whether it's delicious or not, you can say it yourself." Zou Xiaoxi said, "Then your cooking cakes are eaten by others, what do you eat?" ”

"I don't want to eat it." Gan Xiaotang said, "The cooking cake is too hard, I can't bite it." I'll just eat plums. ”

How can you cook and eat dim sum, Zou Xiaoxi went out of the cabin in the middle of the afternoon, and found the boatman and said that he had good cooking skills, if you don't dislike it, I will make you something to eat in the evening.

The boatmen also eat dry food on the ship, and they only make tooth sacrifices when they load and unload goods at the dock, and a person suddenly appears to cook for them, Zou Xiaoxi said, "The main thing is that I have a little baby, she can't eat dry food, I want to borrow a fire and get her something to eat." ”

The captain of the boat agreed, and some people made food to eat, and asked someone to go and catch a few fish, and eat buns every day, and the birds faded out of their beaks.

The seasoning on the boat was only salt, but fortunately, Zou Xiaoxi brought a little seasoning with him, and Zou Xiaoxi made them grilled fish and cooked a large pot of fish soup.

The boat boss was happy to eat, so he asked her to take her share to feed the cubs, Zou Xiaoxi had already prepared it, brought a small can out, filled a can of fish soup back, and tore up a steamed bun while it was hot and put it into the fish soup for Gan Shiyi to eat.

"Mother went to cook for someone else?" Gan Xiaotang asked.

"Cooking is not an easy task." Zou Xiaoxi said, the adults are okay, Eleven is still so small, and they suffered this loss with them, but Eleven, who was very squeamish at home, has not cried for half a minute until now.

This makes Zou Xiaoxi not hurt her.

Gan Xiaotang still didn't want to eat half a can, Zou Xiaoxi let Zou Xiaomei eat it again, the two shirked, and the last person tasted it hot.

The boss of the boat was impressed by Zou Xiaoxi's cooking skills, early the next morning, when the boat was about to leave, he called Zou Xiaoxi again, asked her to make breakfast, and stabbed it from the sack, stole some rice, Zou Xiaoxi made a fish porridge, the fish meat slices were set aside, the fish head and fish bones were boiled in soup, the dregs were fished out and put in the soaked rice, and the fish was boiled and boiled slowly over low heat, and the fish meat was put on low heat after boiling, and the fish meat was put on the bottom of the porridge when it was thickened, and it was separated by gently pulling it, putting salt, putting white pepper, and stirring it to get out of the pot.

The boat boss waited impatiently for breakfast, but after eating the fish porridge, he shut up, snorted and drank two large sea bowls, the condiments were not complete, and the fish he ate always had a fishy smell, they floated on the water all year round, and they didn't like to eat fish when they were used to the fishy smell, but they didn't expect the fish to be so delicious.

It is no exaggeration to say that because of this bowl of hot fish porridge in the morning, he felt for the first time that people still have such happiness in life.
