Chapter 7 Can Escaping from the Famine Be Called Stealing?
The smell of this roast rabbit is wafting, and everyone who cooks nearby is ape-like, and their saliva is flowing.
Everyone went to escape the famine, and what they brought as much as possible was some dry food and pickles, which were convenient to carry.
Some people have brought the jerky, but they are basically the kind that is pickled and hard, and when you boil a porridge at night, cut a little and throw it into the pot to cook together, where is the aroma of roast rabbit meat.
At the end of the roast, the people who were hungry for cooking nearby were drooling.
When it was almost baked, Qiao Huaping took out the coarse salt brought by the family from the blanket, pinched a little, and sprinkled it evenly on the roast rabbit, and the roast rabbit was ready.
Qiao Huaping took the roast rabbit dressed in wood and went to the cave.
The people who cook in the neighborhood almost want to beat gongs and drums to say goodbye.
Because of the dampness and gloom in the cave, the smell was not too good, Qiao Huaping only took the roast rabbit to the entrance of the cave, and the fragrance caused many people resting in the cave to look up suddenly.
Incense, it's so fragrant.
Mei Qingyu, who was sitting on the linoleum cloth, even heard the sound of many people sucking saliva in the four corners.
"Wake up your brother and your sister and eat." Qiao Huaping raised the big roast rabbit in his hand and motioned to Mei Qingyu, "Eat this tonight." β
In fact, there was no need for Mei Qingyu to scream, the fragrance went straight to people's noses, and the remaining three children of the Mei family were awakened.
As soon as Mei Qinghuang opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Huaping standing at the entrance of the cave against the dim light, holding a fragrant roast rabbit, and calling them to get up and eat.
This picture he will never forget in his life.
His nose was inexplicably sour.
Not only him, but Mei Qingyao and Mei Qingying, who had just woken up, all looked at Qiao Huaping and the roast rabbit in her hand in a daze.
Qiao Huaping's patience is actually not very good, but in the face of a few children, she thinks she is quite patient.
"What's the matter, don't you want to eat?" Qiao Huaping said with a pleasant face, "Then I'll eat it myself!" Hey, this time the rabbit is roasted, the skin is charred and the meat is fragrant, oily, and then I will eat it, well, absolutely! β
With that, turn around and leave.
Several children of the Mei family glanced at each other, sucked saliva, and silently got up from the linoleum cloth, and walked quickly to the Qiao painting screen that left.
Qiao Huaping raised his eyebrows and smiled, avoiding the tuyere in a very humanitarian spirit, lest the fragrance make the children next door cry.
She found a depression and gently thrust the stick of the roast rabbit into the ground.
The wooden stick was like a tofu inserted into the ground, straight into the ground.
ββSince using that drop of water, Qiao Huaping's physical fitness has been strengthened in all aspects, his five senses have become sharper, and his strength has been much greater than before.
It's a pity that the speed of the stalactite spring dripping is too slow, she just glanced at the space before, the second drop of water can be condensed from the stalactite spring, look like that, it will take some time for it to drip.
It's really too slow, otherwise, Qiao Huaping still wants to enhance the physique of a few children, they will suffer less on the way to escape the famine, and she can save more.
Qiao Huaping took out four steaming pancakes from his blanket.
The eyes of the Mei family's children widened.
"Didn't I go back before? Take the food that other people don't want. Qiao Huaping winked at a few children, and said quickly, "This is a little secret between us, you can't tell anyone else." β
Keeping a little secret together is a very easy way to build a relationship.
Sure enough, after Qiao Huaping finished speaking, the defensiveness and vigilance in the eyes of several children dissipated unconsciously.
"You're stealing." Mei Qingyao snorted.
Qiao Huaping said righteously: "What words! Can escaping from the famine be called stealing? If I don't take it, the grain will just rot in the ground, what a waste! Waste is a very shameful act. I cherish the beautiful quality of food, Yaoyao, you don't understand, it's okay, but don't talk nonsense to slander me. β
Mei Qingyao was speechless.
If he says one word, Qiao Huaping can repay him ten sentences.
Qiao Huaping shook the cake in his hand again: "Do you want to eat it?" β
Mei Qingyao swallowed his saliva, and when he wanted to struggle, he saw that the third brother Mei Qinghuang had already reached out and took one of the cakes.
The little one also whispered "thank you".
Immediately afterwards, Mei Qingying also took a piece of cake.
The little girl also said slowly: "Thank you." β
Qiao Huaping's smile deepened a little.
Mei Qingyao puffed out her cheeks.
Mei Qingyu glanced at Mei Qingyao, took a piece of cake, and handed it to Mei Qingyao first.
Mei Qingyao took it a little awkwardly.
Mei Qingyu took another cake for herself.
After dividing the cakes, Qiao Huaping took out a knife from the blanket again, she gestured, and winked at the Mei brothers and sisters: "This is also the one I picked up when I went back before." I grinded, don't say, it's weird and easy to use. β
After speaking, she raised the knife in her hand, as if she only made a slight cut, and cut off a large piece of rabbit meat.
Qiao Huaping handed it to Mei Qingying: "Come, roll it up and eat it with the cake, the fat will seep into the cake, it will be more fragrant." β
Mei Qingying swallowed her saliva unconsciously, took it, and whispered, "Thank you." β
Qiao Huaping cut off another piece and handed it to Mei Qinghuang with a smile: "Huanghuang, here you go." β
Although the sky was dark, the excitement in Mei Qinghuang's eyes was bright, he took it, and couldn't wait to take a big bite, the little guy's eyes lit up again, and he was about to cry when he looked at it.
He chewed vaguely and said with a crying voice: "It's delicious......"
Qiao Huaping straightened his chest: "That's, don't you see who baked it?" β
While she was smelly, she picked up a knife and cut off a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to Mei Qingyu.
Mei Qingyu glanced at Qiao Huaping deeply, and when she took it, she also thanked her.
The last person to get the rabbit meat was Mei Qingyao, who was the boss.
Mei Qingyao thanked awkwardly.
Qiao Huaping said in his heart, don't say, although these four children have their own awkwardness, there is really no big problem in this education. took someone's things, and knew how to thank her for being a "vicious little stepmother".
It seems that the short-lived ghost man who died early is quite good at teaching children.
Satisfied, Qiao Huaping took out a cake from the blanket again, cut a piece of burnt rabbit meat, and ate it.
Mei Qinghuang quickly finished eating the rabbit meat in his hand, and was hesitating, when he saw Qiao Huaping handing over the knife: "Cut it yourself." β
Mei Qinghuang jumped up again and let out a happy "um".
He cut a piece of roasted golden buttery meat, hesitated, and handed the piece of meat in the direction of Qiao Huaping: "Here you go." β
Qiao Huaping said "Huh", but he didn't brush off the child's kindness, and took it with a smile: "Oh, I just finished eating the meat, thank you." β
The dim daylight covered the sudden flush on Mei Qinghuang's face.
Eating meat and cakes alone, a little dry, Qiao Huaping was thinking about boiling some water, when he saw Mei Qingyu turn around and go back to the cave, took the water bladder, glanced at Qiao Huaping, and handed the water bladder over.
Qiao Huaping sighed again, the short-lived ghost man taught the child really well, and when she settled down, she would burn some yellow paper for the short-lived ghost.
Eating the rabbit meat cut by Mei Qinghuang, drinking the water handed by Mei Qingyu, and blowing the cool evening breeze, Qiao Huaping was comfortable, and he heard the sound of footsteps.
Qiao Huaping looked in the direction of the footsteps, and saw an old woman walking in this direction with a little boy with a runny nose in her hand.
