Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 514 Divide the buns!

"Is dad ready for dinner? What are you having for lunch?"

Liu Ergou was so hungry that he couldn't wait, but the old man Liu didn't speak, and Liu Ergou didn't dare to mess around. After all, they didn't have lunch yesterday. They drank porridge in the morning and went out of the city to catch locusts, and then returned to the city after catching them I drank another bowl of porridge and cooked that big pot of pimple soup.
But when he left the city today, Liu Ergou knew from his sister Liu Caihuaer that there would be lunch today, so Liu Ergou worked very hard in the morning.

"Hmph, you bastard, don't you really want to eat steamed buns?"

Interrupted by Liu Ergou, Old Man Liu snorted coldly for a moment, then took out a colorless coarse cloth handkerchief from his bosom, and then carefully opened the coarse cloth handkerchief, which turned out to be two pieces of bread.

It was only the size of a palm, and the chopsticks were thick, but this small piece of bun made Liu Ergou's saliva flow down immediately!
(Northern people's noodles and buns are the same thing, and noodles are also called baked buns)

"Father, when did you bake the buns? Why is it so fragrant?"

Liu Ergou's eyeballs almost fell to the throat above the two membranes, and he rolled up and down involuntarily. The smell from the two buns in Old Man Liu's hand made Liu Ergou go crazy at this moment.

"Look at your worthless appearance, isn't it just two pieces of steamed buns? You two will eat these two pieces of steamed buns at noon today, and you will work harder for me after eating. You must catch more today than yesterday, you know? "

Old man Liu immediately slapped Liu Ergou, but turned around and stuffed a piece of steamed bun into Liu Ergou's mouth.

A piece of steamed bun the size of a slap was held in Liu Ergou's mouth. Liu Ergou clenched his teeth for a moment, and he wouldn't let go of what he said!

"It looks delicious!" Old man Liu raised his hand and wanted to slap Liu Ergou again, but this time Liu Ergou dodged it lightly!
"Don't... Dad, don't beat me this time, it's a pity that the bun was knocked out!"

After avoiding Old Man Liu's slap, Liu Ergou pulled the piece of bun out of his mouth, and there was already a big gap on the top of the slap-sized baked bun!

But he was bitten off by Liu Ergou, and he was speaking indistinctly at the moment!

Old man Liu ignored Liu Ergou this time, and directly handed another piece of steamed bun to Liu Caihua: "Cauliflower, eat this piece of steamed bun!"

Old man Liu gave the remaining bun to Liu Caihuaer,
Looking at the locusts all over the ground, old man Liu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, now they are all relying on these locusts to survive!
In fact, there are more locusts at night. If you can get a lantern to come, you don't have to run, and you can catch it by standing next to the lantern!
It's a pity that if you want to catch locusts, you have to go out of the city. I don't say anything during the day, but it's a bit too dangerous to go out at night. Lanterns, catch locusts at night!

Besides, this year's severe drought, the locust plague is not just from Henan, these common people have nothing to eat, and the beasts all over the mountains, what tigers, leopards, wild wolves, etc., are also hungry and panicked Woolen cloth.

It's a pity that they are all fierce beasts, very savage, and hungry again, more fierce than usual,
There are people who have the idea of ​​these beasts, but unfortunately most of the time they don't eat these beasts, but are eaten by these beasts
Seeing that old man Liu stuffed all the remaining piece of steamed bun to himself, Liu Caihua shook his hand and said with a simple smile: "Father, you should eat this piece of steamed bun. I have a small appetite. I ate it yesterday." You're full, aren't you hungry now?"

"Nonsense, I ate such a small bowl yesterday, and today I worked for a long time, how can I not be hungry? Cauliflower listens to my father, so hurry up and eat this piece of bun. Dad is very hungry, you don't have to Fuck you!"

The old man Liu couldn't help but stuff this piece of grinding directly to Liu Caihua'er.

Caihua is holding the piece of steamed bun in her hand, although it doesn't weigh a few taels, but at this moment, Liu Caihua feels that this piece of steamed bun is as heavy as a millstone, and he almost can't hold it anymore!
After thinking about it carefully, Liu Caihua broke the piece of bun into two pieces, and handed one piece to Old Man Liu: "Father, you can eat it too. If you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either!"

"Cauliflower, you..."

Old man Liu was speechless for a moment, but seeing how filial his daughter was, old man Liu still felt warm in his heart.

But at this moment, another head suddenly appeared between Liu Caihua and Old Man Liu.

It was Liu Ergou's hard work, and he had already swallowed the bun. Looking at the half bun in the hands of Old Man Liu and Liu Caihua, Liu Ergou drooled and said, "Father, if you don't want to eat it, you will eat it." Or give it to me!"

Old man Liu was immersed in Liu Caihua's filial piety just now, but now he is being annoyed by Liu Ergou's words.

Old man Liu stretched out his hand, and slapped Liu Ergou directly on the head with his big ear scraper!
"Kill you unfilial thing!"

However, the slap did not fall in the end, because Liu Ergou dodged it again: "Father, don't just greet me on the head, be careful to slap your son stupid!"

Liu Ergou's words directly made old man Liu so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry!

But a farce is over like this. Originally, the piece of steamed bun of old man Liu was very small, and he didn't have a few mouthfuls when he divided it into two. However, after eating this half piece of steamed bun, he still poured out a lot of strength. Old man Liu The family of three did not continue to rest, and continued to devote themselves to the great cause of catching locusts.

It was not until the evening when it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see that the old man Liu's family of three finally called it a day. From sunrise to sunset for a whole day, the three members of the old man Liu's family caught more than four pockets of locusts.

According to yesterday's experience, these four pockets of locusts are worth about four hundred catties, and ten catties for one penny, so today these four pockets are worth forty pennies!
Although forty cents is not much, it is definitely more than what they usually earn from farming. It is a pity that this kind of thing is definitely not common, otherwise, catching locusts every day is much more cost-effective than farming!

If the price of locusts can rise even further, old man Liu can't help thinking!

"Father, let's go back quickly. His Royal Highness Yan Wang is still serving porridge. If we go back quickly, we can have another bowl of porridge. Can we cook another pot of pimple soup at night?"

Liu Ergou turned over a pocket, his eyes were full of wolf-like light, especially at this moment when the sky was getting dark, it looked a little greenish.

"You're an idiot who knows how to eat!"

Old man Liu helped Liu Caihua set up a lighter bag, and carried the remaining two bags on his shoulders. The locusts in the two bags weighed two hundred catties, and they pressed on Old Man Liu's body, directly squeezing Old Man Liu's waist. All bent.

However, old man Liu held on to these two pockets tightly and refused to let go. Although these are locusts, they are food after the money is exchanged.
What is food, it is something to eat, it is something to live!
