Chapter 5: No food
Anyway, it's all out, why don't you buy some pheasants and take them out as if they were caught by yourself to improve the food at home? Although the Wang family is a little calculating, her cheap mother is still very good to him, and the brothers in the family still let her.
Just do it, Shen Ruoqing immediately released a pheasant. In the system mall, this pheasant is more expensive than a domestic chicken, and such a two-and-a-half-pound pheasant costs Shen Ruoqing five yuan! The moment it was released, Shen Ruoqing immediately pounced, but fortunately, the pheasant didn't run away.
"Sanya! Look! ”
"Pheasant! Pheasant! Sister-in-law! Grab it, don't let it run! Shen Xue exclaimed, and hurriedly came over to help, and the two of them finally subdued this pheasant.
tied the pheasant's legs, Shen Xue sighed again that her sister-in-law's luck was really good, maybe it was really like what her milk said, her sister-in-law was a lucky star.
"Sister-in-law, let's go back." Put the pheasant at the bottom of the bamboo basket, covered with wild vegetables, Shen Xue said that she would go to hunt pigweed in the afternoon to earn centimeters.
"It's late, let's go back."
After this trip, Shen Ruoqing earned a total of forty-three yuan and five cents, and originally earned forty-eight yuan and five cents, but it cost five yuan to buy pheasants. With the last deposit, she now has sixty-one cents and six cents! (Eggs are two cents a piece)
I didn't expect to earn more than 40 yuan in such a morning!
The regular workers in the city only pay more than 30 yuan a month!
In the countryside, it is not possible to save more than 40 yuan all year round! She earned more than 40 yuan this morning!
"Milk, we're back!" Shen Xue was a child in the end, her joy and anger were shown on her face, and she happily put the basket in the middle of the yard and closed the door.
"Milk, what do you think this is?"
Wang glanced at it, it was all a miscellaneous wild vegetables, and some wild grasses that could not be eaten at all, and sneered: "It's just some wild grass, what else can there be?" ”
"Pheasant! My sister-in-law caught a pheasant, but she was fat! ”
What?
Pheasant?
Mrs. Ji pulled the bamboo basket, and sure enough, the contents were revealed.
She picked up the pheasant: "This must be more than two catties, even bigger than the one I got from Sun's house last time, you said it was caught by the good baby?" ”
"That's not it, I saw it with my own eyes, my sister-in-law just grabbed that and caught the pheasant! My sister-in-law is amazing! ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Shen Ruoqing.
"Mom, I'm just lucky!"
"Yo, my good baby, I'll just say that my good baby is blessed with astrology!"
Mrs. Ji praised Shen Ruoqing again and again, "It's just right, this chicken can make up for you again!" ”
Wang was a little dissatisfied: "Mom, I think my little sister is almost fine." ”
"What is almost, did you catch this chicken? You're pointing fingers here? Don't you see such a big hole, how can you do it if you don't make up for it? As far as I said, you will slaughter this chicken when you get your eldest daughter-in-law back. Don't even drink the soup this time! ”
Wang's stomach has been more than eight months old, probably because there is no nutrition, her face is sallow, and her belly is not so bulging, hearing this, she is even more unhappy.
"Mom, it's okay if I don't drink it, but your good grandson in this belly can't drink it!"
"Mom, I was a little tired of eating chicken soup last time, so let's eat it together this time." Shen Ruoqing said.
"How can you get tired of drinking chicken soup? Good baby, are you really tired? ”
Shen Ruoqing nodded. Actually, she wasn't really tired, but she also wanted Mrs. Ji to taste the chicken soup.
"Then I'll sell it tomorrow, just in exchange for some food."
Because Shen Ruoqing and the others went to dig wild vegetables today, today's lunch is wild vegetable paste, and the young and strong laborers and Shen Ruoqing can divide half a sweet potato.
In the afternoon, Shen Xue was going to hunt pigweed, so Shen Ruoqing went to the dry well alone to dig medicinal herbs. I made another 60 dollars in this afternoon. The main reason is that the purchase price of new medicinal materials is relatively high, five yuan and two pounds, plus other miscellaneous ones, and I made 60 yuan. She now has $121.74! The two cents less was because she bought another bun to eat.
When he came back in the evening, Shen Ruoqing spent 4 cents to buy a few bird eggs and went back.
Naturally, these bird eggs all went into Shen Ruoqing's stomach. The Wang family could have divided into two, but her behavior today made Mrs. Ji very unhappy, so she didn't get it.
Originally, Shen Ruoqing wanted to make up for Mrs. Ji's body, but she didn't expect that after the last sweet potato, her cheap mother would be wary of her, and she didn't succeed, so she had to eat all her eggs with tears.
After all, it's because of poverty! Shen Ruoqing is determined to slowly change Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji in the province has to stage a battle of wits and courage with her every time she eats a little food.
It's June, and it's hot. Early in the morning, Mrs. Ji came to ask Shen Ruoqing to get up.
There is no way, there is still a way to go to the city, this is not a New Year, but there is no car to go to the city in the village of the festival. If you want to get to the city, you have to walk on your own feet.
Shen Ruoqing was excited, quickly got up and washed up, and followed Mrs. Ji on the way to the city.
"Good baby, eat some to cushion your stomach." Mrs. Ji took out a handful of dried sweet potatoes and stuffed them into Shen Ruoqing's arms.
At this time, their family did not have breakfast, but walking consumed physical strength, so Mrs. Ji prepared a handful of dried sweet potatoes.
"Mom, you eat too."
The road to the city is not close, Rao is Shen Ruoqing has already walked very fast, and it still took more than two hours to arrive. Luckily, they left early. Without a watch, Shen Ruoqing didn't know the exact time, but when he came to the city and looked at the big clock in the middle of the People's Square, he knew that it was already half past seven in the morning.
It's also that Shen Ruoqing walked too slowly, if Mrs. Ji was alone, she would have arrived in the city in less than two hours.
Facing the city in the 60s, Shen Ruoqing is still very curious, looking here and there, and getting rid of a hillbilly. This city is much more dilapidated than she imagined, and the faces of the people walking on the street are also vegetable, as if they are not full, except that the patches on their clothes are much less than those of Shen Ruoqing and Mrs. Ji, and she doesn't see any difference between the people in this city and their countrymen.
"Good baby, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperatives first."
Mrs. Ji took Shen Ruoqing into a supply and marketing cooperative that sells vegetables, rice, salt and oil.
"What, why don't you have rice? Sweet potato corn also doesn't? Mrs. Ji screamed, she came so early to buy some food, but now there is no food to sell to her.
"This month's food supply is gone, if you want to buy food, come early next month!" The attitude of the staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives is not as bad as Shen Ruoqing imagined, but it is not kind.
"Now everywhere is in short supply, I just sold out of food two days ago, the old lady should come early next month!"
Sure enough, the counter selling grain was empty.
