028 Chicken
Knowing Li Erlin's decision from Li Ping'an's mouth, Chen Dajuan's face suddenly became ugly.
Also, whoever hands over the food in the house for nothing will not be in a good mood. But Chen Dajuan also understands that if everyone doesn't have to eat, no one is sure what the consequences will be if their family still has food. The number of them combined is far less than that of others, let alone the small and the old.
However, understanding is understanding, Chen Dajuan was still angry and complained: "You didn't tell me earlier, if you knew this, I would have put more rice to cook porridge." ”
"Blame me, blame me!" Li Ping'an took the pot and complained about his father in his heart, he thought that Li Erlin had discussed it with Chen Dajuan before making this decision, but his father didn't?
It's a bit too much.
But he didn't think about pushing this pot to Li Erlin, he didn't need to say it at all, his mother could think of it herself.
In short, this pot must still be Li Erlin's in the end, and Chen Dajuan will not talk about him when he takes his body at this time.
Suddenly, Chen Dajuan remembered something, and asked Li Ping'an: "Did your father say what to do with the chickens at home?" ”
"And chickens?" Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and immediately patted his head, in the past two days, things have happened one after another, and he has been a little exhausted, and he didn't remember that there were still chickens at home. But part of the reason is that he hasn't even seen a single chicken feather in the past two days.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Chen Dajuan was speechless, this kid usually thinks about killing chickens to eat, but he didn't think about it at this time.
Li Ping'an smiled awkwardly, "Where is the chicken?" Why didn't I see it? ”
"They're all killed, and I haven't taken them out, of course you can't see them!"
Chickens are also valuable things, although the chicken cubs are small and cheap, but it is not so smooth to feed and raise them. There are not many households that raise chickens in Xiaochen Village, her family raises more than a dozen chickens, and they are the only ones in the village.
In addition to being killed by Li Ping'an to eat, there are now ten chickens, two roosters and eight hens, which are worth eight or nine hundred wen in exchange for copper coins, how could she not bring them? However, Chen Dajuan still kept an eye on it, and before going up the mountain, she was ruthless, and called two concubines to kill all ten chickens, cut them into pieces, and put them in clay pots.
However, when she found so many people on the mountain, she didn't dare to take them out and cook them.
Now it's Li Ping'an's turn to be speechless, his mother killed the chicken and didn't eat it quickly, and actually hid it for two days! If it's winter, it's okay, it will snow in winter here, and the temperature can still be kept fresh at a low point, but the key is summer now, although these two days are cloudy, but the temperature is not low, this chicken can still be eaten?
asked his mother to take out the clay pot with chicken, Li Ping'an opened the lid and sniffed it, and Chen Dajuan chattered on the side: "I wiped it with salt, and it won't stink in two days." ”
It's just that there is no air drying, the conditions do not allow, and the time does not allow it.
Li Ping'an really didn't smell anything, but he wasn't sure if the chicken had gone bad, so he still couldn't bear the pain: "Forget it, don't want it, if something goes wrong with eating, you can't go to see Langzhong at this time." ”
Chen Dajuan almost wanted to drip blood in her heart, so she came over and twitched her nose and sniffed carefully, "It doesn't stink, how can you not want it, we will cook it and eat it at night, and we will share some of it from each family, and we will eat it all today." ”
"...... "Is this trying to have a group annihilation?"
Li Ping'an resolutely objected and persuaded: "Mother, just if these chickens are washed away by the flood and don't eat them, I will take them and throw them away immediately." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the clay pot and hurriedly walked out, not giving Chen Dajuan a chance to stop him, Chen Dajuan chased out of the grass shed, and saw Li Ping'an running fast, knowing that he couldn't catch up, so he had to stop and wipe his tears.
Why can't I eat it? Ten chickens, what a waste of losing them all, what a pity?
Li Ping'an turned around and couldn't see the grass hut before stopping, putting the clay pot on the ground, he crossed his waist and gasped, and felt that it was a pity to throw all these chickens away like this.
In the end, he was not willing to throw it away, but carried it to the outskirts of the mountain, and he planned to throw the chicken on top of the trap dug in the morning, so as to lure some wild beasts.
Just as he was about to enter, he saw two faint figures in the dark forest from a distance, he looked at it for a while, and when the figures approached, he found that it was Li Erlin and Zhang Yu, so he raised his hand and shouted.
"What are you doing here, what's in this jar?" Li Erlin asked.
Li Ping'an said the matter helplessly, Li Erlin's usual mood was stable, and he just nodded lightly, "I'll move the jar, you lead the way." ”
So the servants came to the place where Li Ping'an and Zhang Xiaoshan dug the trap, Zhang Yu observed it, and found that there was nothing to adjust the trap, so he helped the handle arrange the bait.
"It's really a big deal now, I hope I can have a good harvest." No matter how awesome the hunter is, he can't guarantee that he will be rewarded every time he hunts, Zhang Yu only hopes that these chickens can attract some wild beasts, and that will not be a loss.
"Hopefully." Li Erlin said lightly.
Li Ping'an thought of the purpose of the two of them entering the deep mountains, which would make room for him and asked, "Dad, have you found a water source?" ”
"Found it." A smile appeared on Li Erlin's face, "There is a pool, the water is quite clean, but it is a little far away." ”
This is the first good news I've heard in the past two days, and as long as there is water, it doesn't matter if you're far away.
After this incident, when she returned to the grass shed, Chen Dajuan's eyes were red, and she saw that Li Erlin was like a little girl who had done something wrong, and she lowered her head at a glance.
"Ping An told me that it's not a big problem, and it's better to waste than to eat badly. Besides, it can't be said to be a waste, they are all used to lure wild beasts, and it is not a loss to catch one. Li Erlin comforted, it is true, the selling price of wild things is much higher than that of domestic chickens, even if you catch a pheasant, it is worth two or three domestic chickens.
Then he looked at the gruel in the bowl with half water and half rice, and said, "I forgot to tell you something......
is talking about food, Li Erlin's meaning is the same as Li Ping'an's, while the food is still theirs, they should eat more, and if it makes no sense, they should wronged the children first.
Chen Dajuan originally had this plan, and nodded after listening to it.
After Li Erlin was full, he didn't care about resting, and hurriedly went to the location of the village chief's house. They are not the only ones who lack water, everyone is short of water at home, and it is impossible for them to come back without telling everyone to fetch water.
Therefore, it is necessary to tell the village chief about finding the water source and organize people to fetch water together.
Chen Song was also worried about the water source, and when he heard Li Erlin's intention, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked his son to call all the family members to gather. A quarter of an hour later, the Bailai people carried buckets and sticks, and under the leadership of Li Erlin and Zhang Yu, they fought into the deep mountains.
Li Ping'an, who was forced to stay again, looked at this momentum and thought to himself that as long as he didn't encounter wolves, the beast would have to take a detour when he saw so many people.
