Chapter 123: Survival in the Drought Year (13)

Suning couldn't stop laughing, "Eat yours, I won't!"

Goudan then grinned open his mouth with only two front teeth, ate in small bites, with an intoxicated smile on his face, "The meat is delicious."

Su Ning wanted to raise his hand to touch his head, but realized that he couldn't raise his arm. At first glance, there was a layer of black stuff on it, which seemed to be herbal medicine?
……

I went out of the house and came to the yard. The wild boars and pheasants that were put in the yard last night were gone. Grandma and my mother sat on the bench mending clothes, drying mushrooms and fungus.

Su Ning sniffed his nose, and there was a faint smell of blood in the yard.

"Grandma, mother—" Su Ning happily ran up to the two, "Where are grandpa and daddy?"

"I'm selling pork and pheasant." Grandma replied with a smile, "Chunhua, come here, grandma will wash your face, and eat meat after washing. Grandma has left a big piece of meat for you."

Thinking about the smell before, Suning nodded subconsciously, washed his face obediently, followed grandma into the kitchen, and saw a deep clay pot sitting on the small stove, with white smoke curling up from the top of the pot.

Further up, there is half a pheasant that has been cut and cleaned hanging from the roof.

The other half is simmering in a pot.

Grandma took a big bowl, broke the buns into pieces and threw them into the bowl, then opened the lid of the earthen pot, and scooped out the soup and meat with a spoon.

I don't know if it's because of the original ecological environment in ancient times, or because her body hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and the clear and light meat and soup smell delicious.

Grandma put a bowl full of steamed buns in broth on a high stool, and moved a low stool in front of her, "Sit here and eat, Grandma will feed you."

Suning didn't ask idiotic questions like 'why not go out to eat'.

When every household can't afford meat, your house suddenly smells of meat, can the neighbors find it?

It's a trivial matter to attract jealousy overtly and secretly. What I fear most is that someone will follow their example and go to the mountains to catch pheasants, and something will happen, and then it will be blamed on them.

These words are not alarmist, but she heard Su's mother say it with her own ears.

Therefore, it is better to do this kind of business of getting rich and eating meat quietly.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Suning looked at the bowl, and at a glance, there were about six or seven pieces of meat.

The stewed meat is very crispy, the bones and flesh are separated, there is a layer of golden oily flowers floating on the soup, and a handful of tender green onion leaves, and underneath is the golden corn bun, soaked in the boiling soup, already Become fluffy and fluffy.

"Grandma, I'll eat by myself." Su Ning tried to lift his arm, but it hurt, but within the tolerable range, it was too shy to ask someone to feed him.

Grandma didn't force it either.

Taking the spoon, Suning took a sip of the clear soup first. It was slightly salty in the mouth. Perhaps it was because of the long stewing time that the soup was not weak. With the freshness of shallots, it had a long taste.

After drinking half a bowl of soup, I ate a small piece of crispy meat at the urging of my grandma.

Compared with the mellow and layered soup, the meat quality is much dull and monotonous.

There is no other taste except a slight salty taste.

But Suning didn't dislike it either. After eating two bites of meat in a row, he felt that his stomach was almost half full, so he dug out the biggest piece of meat and stuffed it into grandma's mouth, "Grandma eat."

There is less rain this year, and the pheasants are not as fat as in previous years. How much meat can half a chicken have?

There are six or seven yuan in her bowl alone, and I saw a lot of meat in the clay pot just now.

Excluding the few pieces of dog eggs, grandma and the others probably drank some soup.

As long as the piece of meat entered the mouth, grandma was so distressed that she quickly spit it out in her hand, "You child, grandma has eaten it, this is for you."

As he spoke, he was about to put the meat in his hand back into her bowl.

Seeing the drooling piece of meat approaching, Su Ning was terrified, and quickly took the bowl away, "Grandma, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it either."

It's really not that she dislikes grandma, she really can't eat such things as saliva!
Suning's tone was very firm, and she stood by the door, as if she would go out if her grandma disagreed.

"Grandma has eaten it, and she ate a big bowl. Look, grandma's belly is bulging, and it's full of chicken." Grandma said, patting her belly.

Grandma is indeed full, as can be seen from her stomach.

An ordinary child would probably believe this, but now Chunhua has the heart of an adult in her body, no one knows how much chicken can be cooked from half a chicken, no one knows better than a super chef like her!

"Grandma is lying, half a chicken is only this big, there are so many in the clay pot, so much in the bowl, plus grandpa, parents and dog eggs, there is no role for grandma at all." Suning put down the bowl and stretched out Start gestures.

Grandma let out an ouch, and said in a timely manner: "My good granddaughter is so smart, even grandma can't beat you, okay, grandma eats this piece of meat."

Seeing grandma eat the meat, Suning let out a sigh of relief, it's really not easy!

I reckon the old lady outside should eat it, after all, she has a big belly and is the person who should eat the most in the family.

She quickly ate the rest of the meat and steamed buns, put down the bowl, and belched two satisfied.

……

At noon, grandma made vegetable porridge with oily chicken soup, and the only two pieces of meat in it were given to Suning and Goudan.

Grandpa and dad didn't come back until dusk. They probably walked back, and the straw sandals on their feet were worn out.

As soon as the gate of the yard was closed, the faces of the two showed joy. Looking at the half-empty panniers behind the two of them, they knew that all the wild boar meat should have been sold out this time.

Sure enough, after scrubbing, the four adults immediately gathered in the main room to whisper. From the open door, you can see the joy and happiness on the faces of the four people.

Suning let Egg help to watch, knowing that this time the wild pork was sold for a total of 220 catties, [-] Wen per catty, which is [-] Wen. According to the general algorithm, it is [-].

After the calculation, Suning couldn't help but frowned. Adding three catties of pheasant and fifteen cents per catty, the total was still less than five taels.

According to Yuan Bo's memory, if he wanted to use money to offset his military service, he would have to pay at least 15 taels of silver for one person, and 30 taels for two people.

Converted to wild boars, there are six.

The problem is that even if she has six wild boars, not so many people buy them?

After all, it is a small place with limited consumption and purchasing power.

It seems that I still have to go into the mountains with the people in the village. There were a lot of prey in the village in the previous life, and they were all sold in the end. It seems that someone found a way and sold them to a family of officials.

She was squatting on the ground and drawing circles slowly, a pair of feet walked up to her, and a pair of big hands hugged her up. The familiar breath was that of her father.

"Father, where did you and grandpa sell pork?" Suning asked.

"In the town, what's the matter, Chunhua wants to go too?" the old man teased.

……
