After the separation, the space of Lingquan was filled up, and he was so angry that he went crazy
Chapter 7 Eating wild vegetables to a pulp
The door to the west wing of the main house is locked, and the family's food is stored inside.
At every meal, Lin Lanjuan would dig around and take out some food from the room and ask the original owner to cook it.
But this family is indeed poor.
The only ones who have made progress are Wang Yushu and Wang Ronghua.
There is also rice grown in the fields. If the harvest is good, you can earn five or six taels of silver a year. In a bad year, you can make two or three taels. If there is a famine, it is common to have no harvest.
Wang Yushu earns about 200 yuan a month working on the landlord's land.
Wang Ronghua works in the shop doing odd jobs and transporting goods. It would be good to earn 500 yuan a month.
In ancient times, one tael of silver was equivalent to one thousand yuan, while a bucket of rice cost fifty to one hundred yuan. The price depended on the annual harvest.
A bucket of rice weighs only twelve kilograms.
Mixed noodles, cornmeal, and buckwheat flour that can fill your stomach are much cheaper, but most of them are mixed with wild vegetables and other things.
So if we eat rice, the whole family will probably starve to death.
Landlords only have something to do for a few months throughout the year, so Wang Yushu doesn't make much money throughout the year. Sometimes it's good to earn one or two taels a year.
It's so difficult to fill our stomachs, let alone eating meat, which is more expensive than rice.
As for Wang Ronghua, he has been doing hard labor all year round and has many old injuries on his body, including his knees and waist, which have varying degrees of damage.
At the end of the year, he only earns two or three taels at most.
Therefore, one tael of silver is enough for the whole family to live for a month. If the annual income of the whole family is good, it will be more than ten taels. If not, it will only starve.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Lanjuan had already come out of the main room.
She was holding a small bag with cornmeal in her left hand, and an egg in her hand.
The right hand is holding a basket. In the basket are the mushrooms that the original owner picked yesterday, and a handful of wild vegetables.
Eggs are also rare, costing about three cents each, a chicken costs more than thirty cents per catty, and pork costs more than fifty cents per catty.
In a word, I can't afford it.
Su Yue stepped forward to take the things from Lin Lanjuan's hand and walked directly to the kitchen.
Lin Lanjuan stared at her with a straight face and said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat secretly, I am watching you."
Su Yue rolled her eyes, recalled the taste of wild vegetables and cornmeal paste, and curled her lips without saying anything.
If she hadn't found a way out now, and for the sake of the two children, who the hell would still serve you.
When she earns her first pot of gold, the first thing she will do is to separate the family! !
When she got to the kitchen, Su Yue put things on the stove and started cooking.
Lin Lanjuan stood at the kitchen door and stared.
In this era, not only rice and noodles are rare, but also oil and salt. A pound of salt costs twenty yuan, and it is the worst kind of coarse salt. You have to save it and use it for several months.
As for oil and water, you can’t eat it even once a year.
Su Yue once again felt that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This meal was the most painful meal she had ever made.
It's pitiful that she, the cooking god of her generation and the heir to the gold medal royal chef, would end up like this.
There was no oil, little salt, and ingredients were scarce. She didn't know how to cook.
In agony, she finally finished cooking.
Mushrooms and eggs can be boiled in water. Sprinkle some salt on top to make wild vegetables and cornmeal even better. Anyway, just boil them in water.
This is really similar to what pigs eat.
After cooking, Lin Lanjuan immediately came in to share the food.
Every bit of the mushroom and egg soup was taken away to Du Xiaoli.
Most of the wild vegetables were mushy, and she and Du Xiaoli, mother and daughter, took them away, leaving only a little bit for Su Yue, mother and son.
Su Yue could only endure this, but her impatience would ruin her big plans.
Looking at what was little left at the bottom of the pot, a mixture of yellow cornmeal and black vegetable leaves, she really had no appetite for it.
Don't even think about the taste. It must be bitter and astringent.
"mother…………"
Wang Erya stood on tiptoe and looked into the pot, swallowing eagerly.
Wang Dashan was much more reserved than her, but his eyes kept glancing into the pot.
Su Yue quickly scooped the food into two bowls for the two children to share.
She swore that this was definitely the last such miserable meal they would eat.
The two children ate with gusto, but they handed the bowls to Su Yue at the same time before taking two bites.
"Mom, you eat."
Su Yue was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
The two children were very hungry themselves, but they still wanted to give it to Su Yue. Su Yue could only refuse it repeatedly, saying that she was not hungry, and then they gave up.
After eating half full, both children smiled contentedly.
Su Yue took a look at the injury on Wang Erya's hand. It was no longer important. She could just secretly apply some ointment at night.
After eating, Su Yue threw the dirty bowl into the pot and didn't intend to care about it anymore.
She will not work as hard as the original owner.
He took the two children out directly.
As for the unwashed dishes, the dirty clothes piled up next to the well, and the poultry in the backyard, she would no longer care about them.
Now she had to go to the mountains to look around, pick some herbs, or find something edible.
There are many treasures in the mountains, and there are even more good things.
The place she traveled to is called Dayu Dynasty, which is Guangyang Prefecture, Yuntian County, Yunshan Town, and Wangjia Village in the southwest of Dayu Dynasty.
It is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital.
The past few years were not peaceful, there were wars, and young men were being captured everywhere.
The husband of the original owner was kidnapped in this way, and there has been no news since. It has been seven or eight years, and his life and death are unknown.
Two years ago, I heard that the war had been over a long time ago, but I haven't come back yet, so I guess it's gone. After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield.
Therefore, Su Yue has a high probability of becoming a widow.
Lin Lanjuan was eating with Du Xiaoli, mother and son in the east wing, and was completely unaware that Su Yue had gone out with her two children.
Wang Dahua looked at the mushroom and egg soup on the table and swallowed her saliva. The wild vegetables in the bowl were so mushy that she really had no appetite. It was bitter, astringent and unpalatable.
But Du Xiaoli had no intention of giving it to her at all. She drank in small sips and gently touched her belly.
Lin Lanjuan held the bowl and ate the paste in the bowl. She also told Du Xiaoli: "Xiao Li, eat more to replenish your body."
Du Xiaoli curled her lips and chuckled: "Of course, I will give birth to a big fat boy this time."
"Mom, I want to eat eggs too." Wang Dahua was so greedy that he couldn't bear it anymore.
Wang Xiaohua on the side glanced at her when she heard this, and then continued to eat the wild vegetable paste in the bowl.
Du Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Wang Dahua angrily, and scolded her with disgust: "You girl, you can eat whatever you want. This is to replenish your brother's health."
Wang Dahua curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "How did you know it was your younger brother..."
"Shut up."
Du Xiaoli raised her hand and slapped Wang Dahua hard.
"It must be my younger brother. Even if I'm not my younger brother, you don't want to eat it."
Wang Dahua covered her face, opened her mouth and cried loudly.
Lin Lanjuan put down her chopsticks with a snap and scolded her coldly: "Howl, you are such a big girl and you are still so greedy. You may not be able to show your face when you marry into your husband's family in the future.
