Han Anniang looked at the two pieces of bacon in the bowl, bit the chopsticks, and said softly: "Uncle has been a little different after waking up." ”

"What's different?" Chen Mo's face was pale, and he said quietly.

"The slave family... I can't say it, I just feel a little different. But it's good that Uncle is like this. Han Anniang pursed her lips and staggered her gaze.

"Sister-in-law, let's eat..."

Chen Mo studied the system while pulling the rice.

The meat he ate just now made his blood nourishment technique come (entry 0.3/100. )

Almost all of the bacon was eaten by him.

It is estimated that it will be three or four taels (calculated according to one catty and ten taels), and the blood cultivation technique shows that the progress is 0.3, so doesn't it mean that one catty of meat can get 1 point.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Chen Mo said: "Sister-in-law, do you have a scale at home?" ”

"Yes."

"Sister-in-law, bring me the scales and come over and do me a favor."

The cellar is under the kang of the original father's room, only the family knows, to drill into the bottom of the kang, lift the lid above, to go down to the cellar, the concealment is very good.

It's just that it's more difficult to get in and out.

Chen Mo came to the cellar with a scale and a kitchen knife, and with a kitchen knife, his strength reached "4+5".

It seems that the TRW knife method is not limited to the type of knife.

Chen Mo took the kitchen knife and swung it vigorously.

[+1 for the number of swings, +1 for Tianhe Sword experience.] 】

Sure enough, kitchen knives can too.

There was not much space in the cellar, and his move startled Han Anniang next to him: "Uncle, what are you doing?" ”

"Nothing."

Chen Mo took a kitchen knife and cut off a piece of bacon, weighed it with a scale, about half a catty.

Then he handed over this half-catty piece of bacon to Han Anniang: "Sister-in-law, bring this piece of bacon to eat at night." ”

Han Anniang didn't pick it up, and muttered: "Uncle, if you eat like this, you won't be able to manage the food stored at home for long." ”

Han Anniang originally thought that her uncle just wanted to eat meat to satisfy her hunger, but now it seems that her uncle wants to eat meat.

Not to mention that in this year of catastrophe, even before, I couldn't afford to eat.

"Sister-in-law, I have my intentions, you just listen to me." Chen Mo said.

……

It's almost winter, the sky is getting dark very fast, and before the sky is dark, Han Anniang made dinner early.

The bacon is smoked off with a knife, then washed with water, sliced with a knife, and steamed with wheat rice before eating.

In the evening, Han Anniang didn't eat a bite of this half catty of bacon, but Chen Mo ate it all.

Blood Nourishment comes (introductory 0.8/100.) )

"It seems that a pound of meat is a little experience..."

There are only more than two catties of meat left at home, which is not enough to support him to fill up his experience.

In normal times, a hundred catties of meat and a sheep are almost enough.

But in this year of catastrophe, it is not so easy.

The price of pigs, cattle and sheep has skyrocketed, and with his current net worth, he can't afford to buy a sheep.

There are only two other ways to get meat.

However, these two methods must first restore the body to the level of ordinary people.

……

Before dawn, the entire village of Fukuzawa was shrouded in night, and fell into silence.

There is no entertainment in the countryside at night, and in order to save fuel, the Chen family will not light up the lights at night, so they go to bed very early.

First, I have to get up and work tomorrow morning.

The second is to eat less, and sleeping can reduce the consumption in the body.

Chen Mo couldn't sleep, although he emphasized in his heart that if he came, he would be safe.

But as a "promising youth" in the 21st century, he plays novels during the day, drinks and applauds at night, and suddenly comes to such a troubled world where he is worried about eating meat, and he is already very good if he is not crazy.

As soon as you close your eyes, you can hear the wind outside the house.

Chen Mo forced himself to sleep.

The sky is awake.

Listening to the movement in the courtyard, Chen Mo woke up and wanted to raise his hand to rub his face, but suddenly found that his hand that swung the knife yesterday hurt badly.

"I can't get enough exercise..."

When he came to the courtyard, Chen Mo found that Han Anniang had woken up, with a headscarf tied on her head and a firewood knife pinned to her waist, dressed like a typical village girl.

"The slave family went up the mountain to chop wood, and if my uncle was hungry, he would cook and eat by himself." Seeing Chen Mo wake up, Han Anniang said.

While the sky is not yet bright, the sun is not out, and it is not sunny, it is the right time to work.

When the sun rises at nine or ten o'clock, I can't stand it.

In order to survive the winter, it is necessary to prepare enough firewood.

"Up the mountain?" Chen Mo was stunned: "Sister-in-law, you are alone, not afraid of the big insects on the mountain?" ”

Chen Mo thought of two ways to get meat before, one was to go up the mountain to hunt.

However, the beasts in the mountains are rampant, and for the time being, they are not something he can deal with now.

And this reflects the lack of understanding of life in the original body.

According to Han Anniang, when there was not enough food to eat last year, young adults from several nearby villages joined forces to go to the mountains to hunt.

Although the big insect is fierce, it is also afraid of people.

After entering the mountain several times, those beasts that could hurt people were driven into the depths of the mountain, and Han Anniang just chopped some firewood on the outskirts of the mountain and transported it back.

And the original body stays at home all day and doesn't go out much, so naturally I don't understand.

"Then sister-in-law, I'll go with you." Chen Mo said.

"But uncle, you're gone, who will take care of the house?"

"Just put everything valuable in the cellar and lock the door."

"But that's..."

"It's nothing to lose something, sister-in-law, your safety is important, you wait for me." Chen Mo went back to the house to pack his things.

When he was at home, someone dared to come to the door to tease his sister-in-law, in such a troubled world, if his sister-in-law was looked down upon in the wild, Chen Mo really didn't dare to imagine what would happen.

Chen Mo didn't notice that when he went back to the house, a touch of joy appeared in Han Anniang's beautiful eyes.

It is definitely false to say that a person goes to the mountains to chop firewood and is not afraid, but it is about to be winter, and there must always be someone in the family who comes out to do things.

Now that she has someone as her companion, Han Anniang's heart is a lot more stable.

"Uncle, is this concerned about the slave family..."

After Chen Mo cleaned up, he went back to the kitchen and got a kitchen knife, with a knife in his hand, his strength was "4+5", and his heart was a little more stable.

The mountain is called Daze Mountain, and on the way, Han Anniang told him that the mountains are all owned by the government, and it is illegal to cut them down without permission.

However, the government comes to collect the tax on cutting wood every year, and this year it has collected it twice.

In addition to the tax on chopping wood, there is also a tax on hunting.

That's right, hunting is taxed.

And it's compulsory every year, not to mention that you don't have to pay if you don't go to the mountains to hunt, the government doesn't care about you.

However, this is not the most outrageous, the most outrageous is also a poll tax, which is called body money according to the government's words, and one of the men in the family is counted as one, and as long as he is an adult, he has to pay the body money.

Since last year, men who are not adults in the family have to pay money.

It is already difficult for the people to live, and it is even more difficult for them to survive because they have to pay this tax and that tax.

After understanding, Chen Mo's face was calm, and he finally felt the sentence in the history book "Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger".

After going up the mountain, Chen Mo took the firewood knife from Han Anniang's hand and was responsible for chopping firewood, accumulating experience in Tianhe knife technique by the way, while Han Anniang was responsible for collecting firewood and tying it.

It's a pity that there are no pheasants or hares found in the periphery, Chen Mo originally wanted to hunt game and supplement meat.

As for the deep mountains, he didn't dare to go now.
