Chapter 920: Famine, Natural Disasters 77
The patriarch was silent.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
The village chief's concerns are not unfounded.
"You're right." The patriarch sighed heavily, "Then let them form a team and go into the mountains, and whoever finds what belongs to whom." ”
"Well, that's it."
The village chief made a decision, and the patriarch summoned the tribesmen to tell him and the village chief about his decision, "You go into the mountains to take care of each other, and whoever finds the food first belongs to whom, and you must not fight for it." ”
"Listen to the patriarch and the village chief."
The people have no opinion, if what they find is divided equally, they will not want it.
Whoever finds it is the fairest, who is not a big family? What should I do if I am separated from my family?
After a hard work, the fruits have to be divided, and only a little harvest can be obtained; They all know in their hearts, and they will do this if they are stupid.
The clansmen formed a team to go into the mountains to strengthen each other's courage, and the sons of the patriarch and the village chief also followed into the mountains to find food; I don't want to hunt for game, but I want to find something to wrap my stomach.
The seafood on the seaside can only pick up a few kinds of food that you can recognize, but there are only so many of those kinds; It is impossible to have edible food on the beach every day, and it is difficult for them to survive without finding a way.
I don't know when the county will be able to give an answer.
The clansmen entered the mountain, Cheng Mingli and Mingyi did not enter the mountain again, there were too many people, did they enter the deep mountain or not after entering the mountain? If you go into the mountains and everyone follows you, isn't that looking for trouble?
"Dad, we can't get in the county seat, and our food is about to bottom out." There was still a thin layer of grain left in the bag, and the pancakes had already been eaten, and Cheng Mingli couldn't help but worry.
Cheng Yuanxi nodded, "There is a father and mother, what are you worried about." ”
"Dad, the patriarch can't help it, can you and your mother have a way?" He's not stupid.
"Let's go, it's time to go to the beach; No one went to the beach in the afternoon, so we went to take a look. Cheng Yuanxi stood up and looked at his wife and daughter, "Child, I will take Mingli and etiquette to the beach, and you will watch some bags at home." ”
Chen Daya raised his voice and said, "Okay, be careful. ”
"Got it."
Mingyi ran over, Cheng Yuanxi held his son in one hand and his daughter in the other, and the two children carried the only wooden barrel in the family and set off.
Walking to the beach, there are many shells, gravel, and strange creatures on the beach.
Mingyi knows some, but he can't finish it; Mingli only knows a few kinds that can be eaten, like the octopus that was washed ashore by the waves, it is seen and left, because it can't be processed, and the octopus is difficult to eat.
In ancient times, even people who lived by the sea would eat it.
"Sister, there are fish here, such a big one."
Cheng Mingli ran to the rocky reef by the sand, and the sea water washed in the reef will leave more seafood behind; No, due to the rocky reef, they could not follow the sea back to the sea smoothly.
"Crabs, there's big crabs here."
Cheng Mingli rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves and went directly into the water.
Mingyi ran over with a smoke, and threw the barrel into a groove to prevent it from rolling away, "Brother, where is it?" ”
"Crack, come on." Cheng Mingli reached out and took it out.
Mingyi was taken aback, is my brother so fierce?
Crabs, that's crabs, big crabs! The kind that will break if you clamp your hand.
"My brother, how can you reach out?" Mingyi grabbed her brother's hand and pulled the person away.
Cheng Mingli rubbed his hands, he was confused for a moment, and when he reacted, his face was full of joy and fear, "I didn't think about it so much, I only thought about fish, and I didn't think about crabs." ”
"Forget it, you go on your feet."
Seeing that she couldn't find any tools around, she got up and ran to the woods, swishing up the trees and breaking off two branches as thick as her forearms; The branches snapped off, dragged them and ran back.
"Brother, use this." Stuffing one into Cheng Mingli's hand, she ran to the puddle to poke the gap where the crabs and fish were hidden.
When the crab is attacked, it wants to fight back; However, as soon as it clamped the stick, Mingyi could feel the weight on it when he drew the stick, and he pulled it and threw it onto the shore in one go.
I don't dare to catch crabs if I don't have any ability.
Mingyi sighed with emotion.
threw out five crabs in succession, and even poked the fish several times; The fish is like a fish in water inside, and after poking it, it will change places and continue to squat, and it will not come out at all.
The fish swing is the hardest to catch.
Cheng Mingli picked up the crab and threw it at the barrel, he wanted to go down to help, but the pit was so big; The gap was so wide that he couldn't help when he went down.
"Sister, hasn't the fish come out yet?"
"No, it's really hiding." Mingyi buried her head and continued to poke, she could clearly feel that she had poked a fish, and this fish should not be small; The touch of each part of the poke is different, and it can be seen that it is a big fish.
Mingyi poked it for a while but couldn't get it out, so he lost his patience; Anyway, the gap is not very deep, so I reached out to catch it, pinched the tail of the fish, and pulled it out by pinching the tail of the fish.
Throwing away the stick, Mingyi picked up the fish and threw it into the barrel.
There was no water in the bucket, and there were five vicious crabs, and the big fish were caught and jumped; The bucket is so big, the big fish goes in and bends and folds, and it can't jump out at all.
Mingyi walked out of the puddle and walked to the bucket to see what kind of fish it was.
It is a large yellow croaker, with an elongated, flattened side, golden-yellow body, and an elongated caudal peduncle.
This one is about seven or eight pounds.
"Brother, there is fish to eat tonight." Mingyi was pleasantly surprised, the large yellow croaker tasted sweet and salty, flat in nature, and entered the liver and kidney two meridians.
In traditional Chinese medicine, yellow croaker is believed to have a good effect on anemia, insomnia, dizziness, loss of appetite and postpartum weakness in women.
Cheng Mingli smiled and nodded, "My sister is capable." ”
"Let's go, keep looking." It should have been the high tide last night, and the clansmen had little harvest for several days in a row, and no one came here today to find out, "Take advantage of the fact that no one has found the high tide now, look for more, look carefully; Otherwise, if we bring back so much food, they will come back and ask us where we found it. ”
They couldn't refuse everyone in the clan, and when it really got to the point where the clan came to ask, they had to say it.
Clan is a confidence, but also a constraint, but also an invisible constraint.
If the ancient clan makes good use of it, it is a kind of confidence, and if it is not used well, it may backfire on itself.
"Listen to my sister."
The siblings went their separate ways, looking for puddles, and if there were puddles, they would see if there was any edible seafood.
Last night, the tide was high, and the rocky reef was slightly slippery, but the harvest was not small; The blue crabs found a bunch, and there were more than twenty of them threaded with straw ropes; There are more than 30 flower crabs, and the pike crab is the most, with 50 or 60 crabs.
Great harvest.
Carrying a wooden barrel, the crab was dragged down the rocky reef and back to the beach.
"Dad, come on, my brother and I have found a lot of crabs." Carrying the crab and rushing towards Cheng Yuanxi, he braked sharply in front of him, "Dad, look." ”
Cheng Yuanxi smiled and nodded, "It's a good thing, the soup is delicious." ”
"Don't cook the soup, steam it." Mingyi hurriedly shook his head, cooking every day, cooking wild vegetables, cooking rice porridge, and seafood is still boiled; The key is that there is no seasoning, and the mouth is full of fishy seafood.
