Hard times have room

Chapter 611 Want to eat meat

"Dad, why did you come back? I'm going to find you." Paulin saw Wang Jiandang walking back with peanuts at the gate of the courtyard.

She is about to go out to find someone. When she went to call someone before, someone who would come back soon, but after so long, she hasn't seen anyone yet, so she plans to find someone to see if they are out. what happened.

"It's okay, I just said a few words to your Uncle Wang Cheng." After Wang Jiandang finished speaking, he handed the peanut in his hand to Bao Lin, and then went straight to the table in the main room.

Pauline stood helplessly behind, holding the handful of peanuts, smiled, and put the peanuts directly next to the ones she and her mother brought back before.

The family of three was eating in the main room, and the food was called an incense. Suddenly, Wang Jiandang seemed to remember something: "Paulin, have you fed the bamboo rat?"

He just asked the same question. After Paulin came home, she left all the feeding of the bamboo rats to her. Same.

"Not yet, but don't worry, those bamboo rats are fatter than us, and they'll be fine if they don't eat for a day." Paulin said with a smile, and then lowered her head to drink porridge.

When she finished drinking a mouthful of porridge, she looked up and saw the couple staring at her: "What. What's the matter?"

She seemed to think of something: "Uh, as soon as I finish eating, I will go to feed it, I can't forget this, I have fed them for so long, except for a few special occasions, I have not forgotten other times. feed them."

"Really, otherwise they wouldn't have grown so fat."

After Pauline finished speaking, she nodded her head in a serious way, increasing the credibility of her words.

She is a little flustered now. Are her parents very dissatisfied with her joke just now, or why are they still staring at her now.

"Okay, okay, we believe you." Su Hongying smiled gently at Pauline, and then swallowed her saliva in disguise.

"By the way, you just said that the bamboo rat at home is very good. I don't know if it's true?"

She didn't care much about the bamboo rat at home. At the beginning, it was fed by Wang Jiandang, and then it was handed over to Paulin. The father and daughter have always been in charge. She may not go there for a month or two. Look at it once, and naturally I am not too familiar with the bamboo rat.

If it wasn't for the bamboo rat's idea today, she wouldn't even think about it.

"Well, yes, one by one, but I'm taking good care of them when they gain weight. The youngest looks over two pounds." Paulin thought for a moment and gave this value.

This value was measured visually by her. She didn't know how much it weighed, but she knew that as long as it was an adult bamboo rat, its weight was usually around two to four kilograms. Therefore, the value she said was really an ordinary bamboo rat. Body weight of mice.

She has caught all those bamboo squirrels, but she doesn't have the ability to know the weight of things in her hands with a single swipe. Maybe she will practice it later, but for now, she doesn't even have a scale at home, so she goes outside. Borrow it from someone else.

Today's scales are very expensive. Generally, people who have scales at home, the scales are handed down from the older generation, or the family is rich, especially rich, oh, yes, it has to be related.

"Is it really that fat?" Su Hongying said while swallowing. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so she was greedy.

Of course, things like fish and grasshoppers are not considered meat, fish are fish, meat is meat, separate, and grasshoppers are not serious meat at all, it is a substitute for food, an expedient measure.

The meat she thought must be chicken, duck, pork, rat, serious meat.

If she didn't say this, she hadn't thought about the bamboo rats at home. After all, she didn't feed them. Those bamboo rats didn't swirl around in front of her every day. Naturally, that idea couldn't reach them. Rat.

Thinking of this, Su Hongying looked at Wang Jiandang on the opposite side.

"Paulin, do you think bamboo rat meat tastes good?"

"You've been feeding for so long, are you reluctant to eat?" Su Hongying asked while looking at the person opposite.

When her thoughts of eating bamboo rats came together, she couldn't hold back, she couldn't think, and she kept swallowing saliva, which reminded me of the delicious food she ate before.

There are many bamboos in Shanghe Village, and there is a big bamboo mountain. There are still many bamboo rats. She has eaten it before, but it is only a piece or two of meat.

In the past, the old lady was accustomed to careful planning. A bamboo rat could be cut in half, and a large family could eat half of it. Of course, the head, paws, tail, etc., were counted in the half that was chopped and eaten directly, and the rest Yes, hang them all up, make them into bamboo rats, and save them to eat later.

A big family, only half a bamboo rat, her unpopular daughter-in-law can divide a few pieces of meat, that is something you can think about, usually two very small bamboo rat tails, but Wang The founding party would give her what was in his bowl, and then the husband and wife finished their meal under the eyes of old lady Wang.

"Wait, what's there to bear? This bamboo rat is fed, isn't it just for eating?" Paulin now understands her mother's meaning a little bit, but she didn't make it clear.

Although the bamboo rat at home was caught by her and fed by her, she really didn't have any feelings about it.

"Okay, listen to you, our bamboo rat should eat it, it's time to feed it for so long." Su Hongying was waiting for these words, and directly gave the matter.

"When are you going to eat? I can't wait."

Looking at her mother's pitiful eyes, Pauline couldn't bear it, but it really couldn't be done these two days.

"Wait for two or three days. When the contents of the quilt next to our house are dug up, you can eat it."

"If you eat it now, it's hard to keep the smell of meat slipping out and being smelled, which is not good."

Although, what they eat is not something shameful, maybe it's better to hide it, she is not willing to spread the news about the meat at home.

Although others came to ask, they can be said to have caught it by chance. This is very logical and can be explained.

However, her family has eaten meat in the end. This is the key point. Before, some people in the village might not even have to eat bran and veggies. That is to say, now they have dug up the sweet potato field and got the sweet potato, and then they can eat food again. At this time, eating meat is really too conspicuous.

Moreover, there is something to be said about eating meat. There are elderly people in their family. At that time, any unpleasant things can be said from the mouths of some people.

"Okay, just wait for another two or three days. I haven't eaten meat for so long, and it's all over. I can afford to wait for the remaining two or three days." Su Hongying replied very disappointedly.

The most painful thing in the world is waiting. Things are clearly right in front of you, but due to some reasons, you need to wait. Although you can't move now, you can't control your heart that is about to move. Isn't this torture!
