Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

“What is a salt mine?”

"It's just... salty... rocks and stuff."

The second and third brothers both shook their heads.

The youngest child only understood half of what he heard: "Why are stones salty?"

Su Yunluo patiently told her: "Because some stones have salt in them, they are salty."

The boss, who had been silent all this time, raised his head silently and said, "I've seen it."

"Really? Where is it? Can you take me to see it?" Su Yunluo was overjoyed.

The eldest thought about it, then nodded: "Okay. It's near where we caught the wild boar yesterday."

"Okay, we'll set off soon then."

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Su Yunluo told her three younger children to sleep well at home, and she took the eldest child out with her.

The moonlight is hazy tonight and there are many clouds in the sky, which block the moon from time to time, resulting in a poor view.

My walking speed is much slower than yesterday.

"It's just ahead." The destination the boss mentioned was finally approaching.

Su Yunluo breathed a sigh of relief.

The most frightening thing when walking at night is encountering wild animals. Although I have poison on hand, I am still afraid of accidents.

Fortunately, we arrived safely.

"Shh~" The boss suddenly grabbed her.

Su Yunluo quickly stopped.

The boss pointed forward.

Su Yunluo saw a large exposed rock wall not far away.

There was a wild goat standing in front of the rock wall, licking something on it.

Su Yunluo felt that he was hopeless.

Because her first reaction when she saw the wild goats was to eat mutton hotpot!

Her excitement had not yet subsided, and she had no time to think about how to catch the wild goat, before a few more wild goats came over one after another.

Then a few more deer came.

Finally, wild boars and bison appeared.

Su Yunluo was stunned.

All the animals that came stood in front of the rock wall and ate.

Are they... coming here to eat salt?

Although seeing so many animals was very eye-catching, Su Yunluo did not move. Instead, he took the boss and quietly hid nearby, watching the animals silently until dawn, when the animals dispersed.

Su Yunluo did not try to alert the enemy from beginning to end.

After making sure that the animals had not appeared again, she went to check with the eldest brother.

The rock walls were wet, with saliva left from animals licking them.

There were also some footprints left by animals on the ground.

Su Yunluo reached out and found a piece of rock without animal saliva at the top. He used his fingernails to pick off a little bit and put it in his mouth to taste it.

"Hmm~ It's really salty." Su Yunluo looked at the boss in surprise: "How did you find this place?"

The eldest brother looked at her straight, and then asked as if he had made a big decision: "Who are you?"

Su Yunluo's heart skipped a beat.

All the surprises just now seemed to be paused in an instant.

The first ray of sunlight that appeared from the horizon, which seemed dazzling just now, suddenly became dim.

After an extremely intense ideological struggle, Su Yunluo slowly calmed down.

To cope with all changes, we should remain unchanged. Let’s see what the boss said first: “Why do you ask that?”

Wang Yuanmou didn't want to doubt his mother, but his mother had changed so much in the past few days.

It's like... a completely different person.

the most important is……

"Because you were the one who brought me to this place."

“We’ve always gotten our salt from here.”

Su Yunluo: "This..."

"Besides, my mother is most afraid of blood. Whenever my father came back from hunting, he would prepare the meat and then cook it for my mother. Once, I saw with my own eyes that my mother fainted because she saw too much blood. But you..." Wang Yuanmou thought of the night before yesterday, when his mother actually killed a pig with her own hands without blinking!

Su Yunluo finally understood why those kids looked at her like that that night...

The original owner fainted from blood...

She did have this memory in her mind.

But at that time I was immersed in the joy of hunting a whole pig, and my mind was full of how to fill my stomach, so I didn't think about it.

Su Yunluo licked his lips and started talking nonsense: "Didn't I have a serious illness before? When people are sick, they may have memory loss and can't remember things clearly, so it's normal to forget some things. Also, I did faint when bleeding, but I can't watch my children starve to death because of fainting, right? I only had one belief at the time: for my children, I can't faint! Absolutely not faint! Facts have proved that the power of maternal love is really too great. I really don't faint when bleeding anymore!"

Wang Yuanmou listened to her speech carefully, wondering whether he should believe her.

Su Yunluo waited quietly for the other party to make a judgment.

After a long time, the expression on Wang Yuanmou's face finally eased, and there was no more doubt in his eyes: "Mom, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Su Yunluo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "There are so many salt mines here, let's take advantage of the fact that no one is around and smash some down and bring them back."

After a series of clanging and knocking, a lot of hard rocks were knocked off.

Put it in the backpack and carry it home.

When we got home, the children were already up and waiting in the house.

Seeing Su Yunluo and the others coming back, he quickly opened the door and ran out to greet them.

Su Yunluo responded one by one with a smile: "Are you hungry? I'll make you some food."

Subconsciously, he prepared to roll the buns, but soon his hands stopped moving.

The boss has begun to doubt her identity. What if he is asked where these steamed buns came from, how should she answer?

Forget it, I won’t eat steamed buns today.

Su Yunluo thought about it and got an idea.

Cut the pork tenderloin into thin slices, wrap both sides with yellow flour, and then beat it 9981 times with a rolling pin.

Each slice of pork tenderloin is pounded paper thin.

When the water boils, add precious salt and put the pounded meat slices into the pot.

Wait for the water to boil again, stir, cover the pot and simmer for two minutes before serving.

"This is called meat soup. It's smooth and not greasy. You guys try it."

Su Yunluo took a bite and immediately smiled.

really not bad!

The fresh and fragrant meat slices and the smoothness of the yellow noodles are her favorite taste.

At this time, if you can add a handful of coriander and a little bit of chili oil, it will definitely be the ultimate enjoyment on this cold morning!

Look at the children again, they are slurping and eating like little pigs.

After eating and drinking, Su Yunluo washed the only pot in the house and began to refine salt.

Put the salt ore you brought back into a pot, pour in water, heat it over a fire, and let it slowly dissolve.

"Mom, you can't eat too much salt." Wang Yuanmou saw her boil a large pot of salt water and couldn't help but remind her.

Su Yunluo smiled and nodded: "I haven't forgotten this. This kind of salt really can't be eaten too much, because it contains a lot of impurities, including stones and heavy metals. But after refining, it can become salt for daily use."
