Chapter 860: Famine, Natural Disasters 17

Luo Cuihua smiled, "Yes, it's not for nothing that we followed his father and brothers into the mountain; You can catch game at critical times. ”

Cheng Dazhu smiled and bowed his head, and then looked at the little grandson and granddaughter who were squatting on the ground and playing together; He discovered that this little granddaughter is lively and cheerful, and she can't see any difference on weekdays, but she is reliable at a critical time.

Looking at the eldest granddaughter who followed the eldest daughter-in-law on the other side, the girl was listless and didn't know how to help her mother.

Cheng Dazhu shook his head silently, he could only comfort himself, the same rice raises hundreds of people.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Cuihua picked up the wild vegetables from the wooden house, and after covering them for a long time, the wild vegetables had already been gone; She saw Cheng Dazhu's silent appearance and asked.

Cheng Dazhu glanced back at her, didn't say anything, only shook his head; Luo Cuihua was in a hurry, but she could know about it as soon as everyone was together, so she relaxed a little.

Li Lianhua's three daughters-in-law handled the rabbit, took the remaining water and poured it into the pot, and poured the rabbit directly into the pot without other cooking processes; When the water in the pot boiled, I took some wild vegetables that seemed clean and threw them in.

Mingyi was stunned when she saw this scene, as if she didn't feel strange.

This is basically the case along the way, water is scarce, and the hay used for cleaning pots and pans on weekdays is wiped first, and then used water once.

Mingyi admired the good stomach of the ancients.

"Sister, I have rabbit meat today, and I'll give you two more pieces of meat from my brother later." Cheng Mingli said with a smile, "Tomorrow we will go with my father, and we will go to the grass to dig more wild vegetables; Let's see if there are any rabbits, and if so, let's get them back. ”

"Okay." Mingyi nodded, there should be other game in the huge meadow, "Bring the fire fold tomorrow, and look for the rabbit hole when you encounter it." ”

"My sister is smart, I didn't even expect it."

Mingyi was thinking that she had to be careful when eating meat tonight, not eating the dust from the wild vegetables in her mouth; I can only fill a little more soup and wash it when the time comes.

If you eat something with sand or soil, you can get rid of it if you're lucky, and it's easy to get fruit if you're unlucky.

Why did the Hereafter boil the water before drinking?

Just because there are bacteria in the raw water that cannot be seen by the naked eye, the second is that there will be impurities in the water, and some impurities can be properly precipitated by boiling and cooling.

The smell of meat permeated as the water in the pot boiled, and the whole camp could smell a little; People who haven't opened meat for a long time smell meat, and their sense of smell is even more stimulating, and there are many people who swallow saliva repeatedly, and among them, the children can't help but run to the camp of Cheng Dazhu's house and squat around.

If you can't eat it, you can smell it.

"The meat is so delicious!"

"I want to eat meat, Daddy, I want to eat meat."

was stimulated by Cheng Dazhu's house, and many children ran back to find the elders in the family to pester.

Suddenly, the whole camping place echoed with the cries of children, it was too gluttonous not to eat meat for a long time.

Cheng Mingli led Mingyi to Chen Daya's side, "Mother." ”

"Are you hungry when you're here? Come, my mother will scoop up a piece of meat for you and eat it first. Chen Daya raised her head and glanced at the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law who were busy with their work, took a small bowl, fished two pieces of meat from the pot and put them in the bowl, and then filled some wild vegetables to cover them, "Take it to the side and eat it, don't let people see it, you know?" ”

Cheng Mingli felt ashamed for a while, and wanted to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw his sister staring at the bowl in his mother's hand; endured the shame of eating alone, took my sister to the shed where their father and mother lived, and hurriedly handed it to my sister after entering, as if she was holding a bowl of hot potatoes in her hand.

"Sister eats."

Mingyi nodded, didn't take the bowl, but fished the wild vegetables with his bare hands and tasted them; The smell of meat in a mouthful is actually not very delicious.

This realization made her look away with a little disappointment, "My brother also eats, my mother has a lot of wild vegetables, and my brother eats a little to satisfy his cravings; When it's time to eat later, we'll eat the least, so let's eat a little bit now. ”

Cheng Mingli wanted to say that if the elders didn't eat, the juniors couldn't eat first; However, the thing was given by the mother, and the younger sister had already taken a bite, so it would be hypocritical to say this.

Thinking about this, I can only stop.

After a few bites of Mingyi, the wild vegetables in the bowl were gone.

Mingyi scooped up a piece of meat and chewed it slowly in his mouth, and handed the bowl to Cheng Mingli; There was still a piece of meat in the bowl, Cheng Mingli hesitated for a moment and then took it, and after a while, he saw that his sister had finished eating it and sent it to her again.

"Sister, I'll give you this piece too."

Mingyi glanced at the bowl, and then at Cheng Mingli; This silly brother is silly and cute, and he loves his sister very much.

"I ate a piece, and this piece belongs to my brother." Pushing back, no longer giving him a chance to speak, he got out of the shed and ran out.

Cheng Mingli chased to the door, and stopped when he saw his sister running to his mother's side; Turn around, stuff the meat into your mouth, chew it quickly, swallow it, and bring the bowl to your mother.

"Mother, I've brought you the bowl."

"Take my sister to the side to play, don't burn Mars."

Chen Daya glanced at Cheng Mingyue, who was sitting next to her and had never stretched out her hand from beginning to end, her eyes flashing with displeasure; It's a niece and nephew, it's hard to say anything, an eight-year-old girl has nothing to do all day long, only knows how to eat.

Look at her family etiquette, younger than her know to go out to find food.

"I don't need my brother to accompany me, mother, I'll go find my father." After Mingyi finished speaking, he walked towards Cheng Yuanxi.

Chen Daya said to her son: "Don't follow up yet." ”

Cheng Mingli nodded and chased after him, and ran to his sister's side before stopping; There is still a taste of meat in the mouth, a long-lost taste, "Dad, my sister and I came to play with you." ”

"Come on." Cheng Yuanxi pulled a son and a daughter to sit on the ground beside his father, and asked the children to sit beside him and chat with Cheng Dazhu.

At dinner, Luo Cuihua took out two bowls of wild vegetable soup and asked Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuanxi to send them to the village chief and patriarch; There is no meat, and the soup is also meaty, which can be regarded as sticking to the bottom line.

She can't take out the food at home at every turn, but she can't do it; Moreover, she gave it to the patriarch and the village chief but not to anyone else, what do people think?

The wild vegetable soup has no meat, and others can't speak.

The dining table was made of stones and tree branches, and the family sat around a simple table, with a pair of chopsticks in front of each person.

Luo Cuihua is responsible for distributing the food, the wild vegetables and hares stewed in two and a half large pots; Luo Cuihua was responsible for distributing the hare meat, the wild vegetables were not distributed, and the other pot was filled with porridge with a clear bottom.

Cheng Dazhu got a bowl of rabbit meat, and Luo Cuihua fished out a small half bowl for herself, which should have five or six pieces; After that, there were three sons and grandsons, daughters-in-law and granddaughters, and the two rabbits seemed to have a lot of meat, and they were distributed, although Mingyi also got a bowl, there was only half a bowl in the brother's bowl, and five pieces in the mother's bowl.

The three Cheng Yuanxi brothers distributed most of the bowl.

Li Lianhua and Feng Juhua are the same as Chen Daya in the bowl, five pieces.

It seems like a lot of meat, but in fact, there is not much to share.
