Chapter 877: Famine, Natural Disasters 34
"Take the look on your face." Slap her in the face and remind.
"It hurts!" Cheng Mingyue shrank for a moment, and her eyebrows were displeased, "Mother, why are you beating me." ”
"Why did you say you were beaten?"
Cheng Mingyue thought of her mother's words just now, and her mouth was pouting and she didn't want to speak; If she continues to talk about it, she will definitely be nagged by her mother, looking at her impatient appearance at this time, her mother must also be partial to Cheng Mingyi.
Wouldn't it be good for the Cheng family to have a daughter of her, why did Sanfang give birth to a special one to oppose her.
The more she thought about it, the more Cheng Mingyue felt that this concept was right, and the Cheng family only needed her as a girl.
Cheng Mingyi shouldn't exist!
Drilling into the tip of the horns, Cheng Mingyue's mind was weird, and her psychology gradually became distorted.
She buried her head, Li Lianhua didn't notice the change in her daughter at this moment; She looked at her little niece sitting among the cousins, and they were talking and laughing.
"Yiyi, how did you catch game, there are no obvious external injuries on hares and pheasants." Cheng Mingxin sat down in front of her and asked carefully.
"Fourth cousin, I caught it directly, maybe I was lucky enough to catch it."
Facing her immature and clear eyes, Cheng Mingxin will be suspicious, if this is the case, then he will be too useless; My cousin can catch it, but he can't catch it.
Cheng Mingli said: "Fourth cousin, the rabbit was caught by my sister and I who smoked the rabbit hole, and as for the pheasant, it may be really lucky; Pheasants can fly fast, which is really hard to catch. ”
After he said it, Cheng Mingxin believed eighty percent.
The others nodded their heads again and again, more or less in belief.
"Yiyi can catch so many rabbits, which means that there is still a lot of game around the valley, so we should be diligent and look for more; After breakfast, who wants to go and find meat to eat together? Cheng Mingyi asked the brothers.
Cheng Minglian was the first to speak, "Big brother, I'm going." ”
"I'll go too." Cheng said wisely.
Cheng Mingxin nodded, "I'm going too, Brother Lobby will take me." ”
Wang Fengya and Zhang Zhaodi didn't speak, they don't have your skills, but they can go to find wild vegetables; Taking advantage of the fact that there are many wild vegetables now, more are picked, cleaned, dried and preserved.
There is chicken soup for breakfast, and some dry food is eaten sweetly with chicken soup; In order to prevent the cooked chicken soup from spoiling, Luo Cuihua divided the soup and meat all over the head.
Mingyi finished breakfast in three or two bites, and her stomach was still hungry; There is only so much food at home, and if you eat wild vegetables, you can't starve to death, but your stomach is even more hungry.
Cheng Mingli looked at his sister and quietly touched her little belly, and whispered into her ear and asked, "Not full?" ”
"Hmm." Mingyi nodded.
"We'll go out and find something to eat later." Cheng Mingli came up with the idea of salt, and each room had a bag of salt in his hand, and there were not many of them, and they were all saving to eat.
They went out to look for game, and if there was no salt, they could not find honey as they had done yesterday; Even if you find game, the taste is not very good, and that's the reality.
After breakfast, Mingyi wanted to hurry to the meadow.
Cheng Mingli grabbed her, "Sister, wait a while, I have something to do with my mother." ”
"Okay." Mingyi nodded, and watched Cheng Mingli go to Chen Daya, who was cleaning the dishes and chopsticks.
I don't know what he said to Chen Daya, Chen Daya dragged him to the place where he lived; When Cheng Mingli came out, he only held a kitchen knife in his hand.
Walking out of the valley, Cheng Mingli saw that there was no one around, so he took out an oil-paper bag from his arms.
"Sister, look."
Mingyi took it and opened it suspiciously, and his eyes were full of surprise, "It's salt!" ”
"Well, I'll get it from my mother, don't tell anyone else." Cheng Mingli said.
"We quietly took the salt, how can my mother explain it to my grandmother?"
Cheng Mingli looked indifferent, "Don't worry, the grandmother said that each family keeps a bag of salt, and there should be a bag in the grandmother's hand; As for the lack of salt on my mother's side, I don't have to worry about it. ”
"However, my mother will be blamed." Mingyi frowned, hoping to go to the next town quickly.
The gold finger in her hand only has space to use, and there is no salt in the space!
"No!" Cheng Mingli's words are categorical.
Under Mingyi's puzzled gaze, Cheng Mingli sighed helplessly and touched his sister's hair, "You! I don't care about the situation of each room, I naturally don't know, the big house and the second room have private salt, and the salt in their hands is definitely not as much as in the mother's hands; Even if my mother gave us half of it, it was more than them. ”
"How so?" Mingyi couldn't figure it out, they all ate together, how did they use salt?
"Don't you notice that they sometimes use salt to gargle or put in water bags?" Cheng Mingli shook his head, feeling that his sister was too innocent.
"We don't have salt in our hydration bags!"
Cheng Mingli said 'um', "Daddy is trying to save as much as possible, and Daddy also knows the situation of the other two rooms; You don't have to worry about this, if you really want to check it, the salt in the three rooms will be checked, and your mother will not be blamed. ”
Mingyi held the salt in his hand, and such a small bag was expensive.
"That's good, today we will hunt for half a day in the morning, and I will teach my brother to practice martial arts for half a day in the afternoon."
"Well, that's it." Cheng Mingli raised a smile and led her to the meadow.
When they reached the meadow, they separated to find the rabbit hole, which had been smoked yesterday and did not need to be seen; Most of the rabbits that have been disturbed will not go back, so they will start looking for other directions.
After searching for more than an hour, Mingyi found two rabbit holes; According to the pattern of these rabbit holes, they found three more burrows near them.
Cheng Mingli also found a rabbit hole and followed the pattern to find their other holes.
According to yesterday's operation, light the fire and smoke; Three fat rabbits were caught in the first place, one of which was pregnant, and Mingyi and Mingli coincidentally released it.
The second place caught one, and the third place is where Cheng Mingli found it; I caught two big and five small rabbits, the small one was a half-sized rabbit, and it was also a size that could be eaten.
"Great harvest!" Mingyi cheered.
Cheng Mingli looked at these rabbits and was distracted, Mingyi ran out with three rabbits for a distance, and after seeing that his brother didn't come, he ran back and asked curiously.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, we have caught so many rabbits, and we must have found a good place in the eyes of others; Moreover, these rabbits will not eat much of what will get into your mouth. "There's no honey to bake, just a little salt.
Mingyi suppressed the smile on her face and said generously: "It's okay, brother, we have a knife, cut it into small pieces and dry it; When the jerky is also eaten, we make one today, take another one back, and cut the rest out to dry. With such a big sun, take it back for one day, and take it out again the next day to continue drying, two suns are enough. ”
Drought and high temperature, the hottest time of the day reached more than 40 degrees, and it has not rained for a long time.
Just find a big rock and put the meat in the sun, and it will dry in no time.
