Chapter 7

It is obviously not the first time they have done this, and the division of labor and cooperation are very good. Si Chen took Si Xue to take two rabbits and a pheasant to the village owner's house to exchange rice. .

Their cooking utensils are very simple. I don’t know where to pick up a broken pottery pot. There is a big gap in the top of the pot. It can only hold one-third of the water. If it is too much, it will flow out after boiling. The pot is not small. Even if it is only one third, it is enough for the four of them to eat.

Zhou Qiqi wanted to rush out to clean them up, but after thinking about it, she still didn't go there. She quietly climbed up the tree and lay down on a big tree branch with her legs crossed, glancing down from time to time, without making a sound.

It's not that time yet, don't worry.

The children didn't have knives, and the chicken couldn't be cut open. The whole pot of chicken was boiled, and after a while, Si Chen and Si Zhao came back with a cloth bag full of patches on their backs.

Zhou Qiqi looked down, guessing that it contained rice, Si Chen's bag was ten catties, Si Xue's bag was fifteen catties, after all, Si Xue was strong.

When they opened the bag, she poked her head in and saw that it was indeed rice, and there were no other miscellaneous grains.

After all, the state of Zhou did not have so many agricultural products. The main crops for farming were rice and wheat, and there were no high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

Zhou Qiqi did some calculations and felt a bit at a loss.

The three prey were all quite fat, even if they were slaughtered, they would have to weigh at least 25 catties together, so I exchanged for [-] catties of rice, and felt that the meat was not worth much.

If it is outside, one catty of meat can be exchanged for two catties of rice.

It stands to reason that the meat here should be more expensive than outside. After all, there is no way to raise livestock in the cottage, and it is easy to attract wild animals, and a powerful one will kill people.

Zhou Qiqi twitched her nose, this village master of Dasong must be no fun.

If it wasn't for the fact that the prey couldn't be released, and there wasn't so much salt to pickle it, and it could only be eaten for two days at most, she would have to run to clean up the big pine village master.

Contrary to Zhou Qiqi, the children were very happy, thinking that the village master of Dasong was a good person, and he actually exchanged so much rice for them.

Save the 25 catties of rice, and add wild vegetables to make porridge, which can last for a month.

After a month, the rice can be harvested.

"Big sister, let's put half a bowl of rice into the pot. I haven't eaten rice porridge for more than a month. I heard that chicken soup porridge is very delicious. Let's eat more while we have the opportunity?" Si Chen sucked hard. Sniffing, I was so hungry that I would bleed down.

"Sister, chicken porridge."

“The chicken porridge is sure to be delicious.”

Watching them keep spitting, Si Yuan hesitated, wondering if half a bowl would be too much?
In the past, porridge was cooked with a handful of rice and a large pot of wild vegetable porridge.Days like that are unbelievable. They have not even been able to drink rice soup for a month, and there are only wild vegetables in the porridge.

But looking at the expectant eyes of her younger siblings, she herself was so greedy that she gritted her teeth and put half a bowl of rice in.

This bowl is not small, half a bowl weighs a catty and a half.

After putting it away, I regretted it, the rice was enough to cook two or three times, so I couldn't help but glared at Si Chen.

Si Chen didn't see it at all, and he didn't care if he saw it. He stared at the broken tank like a hungry wolf. If he wasn't rational, he might have jumped on it.

He wasn't the only one who had this urge. As time went by, the taste of the chicken porridge became stronger and stronger. Even with only ginger and salt, it was enough to make them greedy.

I can't blame them for being so greedy, it's so delicious, I don't remember how long I haven't eaten meat.In the past, when Dad was still alive, they could still taste some meat during Chinese New Year.

After following my aunt, a vicious adult, I didn't even get to eat meat during the Chinese New Year.

So they didn't like this aunt at all, and even hated it, thinking that just like what others said, the aunt abused them on purpose.

Before Dad and Uncle were alive, no matter how difficult life was, they would not be asked to work, at most they would pick some wild vegetables.

The vicious aunt is different. They are driven to work with sticks every day, or they will be beaten severely.

They are still children, so tired every day, doubting whether they will grow up.

After about half an hour, the children couldn't bear the scent after all. Seeing that the younger brother was about to start, Si Yuan was so frightened that he quickly turned off the flame.

"Wait, eat it when it's cold, or it will be scalded." Si Yuan looked at his younger brother defensively, but he didn't forget that a few years ago, there was a person in the village who was greedy and very hungry, and the freshly cooked porridge hadn't waited for him. Let it cool down and drink it in a bowl, and you will die within a few days.

Si Chen was also very greedy, but he was also aware of this, so he looked at the little girl very defensively, worried that she would not be able to resist stealing food.

Fortunately, the two brothers and sisters were on guard, otherwise the two younger ones would have scooped up the porridge and ate it. Didn't you see that they were all holding clam shells in their hands and reaching into the pot?
It's just that Si Xue is very strong, her eyes are glowing green when she looks at the pot, she can't stop her when she looks at Si Yuan, and the porridge is still steaming hot, Zhou Qiqi can't help frowning when she sees it. That's trouble.

Just in case, Zhou Qiqi still jumped down.

Whoosh!
The movement was extremely fast, and after carrying the pot, it floated up the tree.

In the next second, Si Xue pushed Si Yuan away and rushed towards the broken pot, not expecting that the fragrant pot was gone, and only the smoking firewood was left in place.

Si Xue was stunned, and soon burst into tears: "Porridge, my porridge, I want chicken porridge, woohoo, I want porridge, porridge..."

The brothers and sisters were also dumbfounded. They were busy blocking people, but they didn't see what was taking the pot away. They just felt that something was passing by in front of them.

"What about the chicken porridge?"

"Ah, why is it gone?"

"Who stole my chicken porridge."

The four children came back to their senses and yelled loudly, looking around in circles, jumping up and down in anxiety, tears streaming down their faces.

Zhou Qiqi sat on the branch of a big pine tree, and there was a broken pot next to it, which was constantly steaming, which showed that it was not ordinary hot.

She turned her head and smelled it, and it was quite fragrant.

He looked down at his hands, they were still clean, so he broke off a chicken leg, took a bite and tasted it.

The meat is good, and it tastes delicious when you cook it casually. It tastes better than the roasted yesterday.

Zhou Qiqi looked down while eating, and felt that these children's eyesight is not very good, even if she is fast, she can't even see the human figure, right?

I thought I saw a ghost, so ridiculous.

The children jumped in anxiety and looked around, but they didn't see anyone, so they really thought they saw a ghost.

Si Zhao burst into tears with a 'wow', causing Si Xue to cry even louder, as if the sky had turned upside down.The two older ones looked at each other, wanting to cry too.

So scared, trembling.

Too many people died in Dasong Village. They wondered if some souls were enticed by the smell of the chicken porridge and took the chicken porridge away.

Snapped!
Suddenly a chicken bone fell from the sky and hit Si Chen on the head.

Si Chen didn't pay attention to it at first, thinking that the dry branches were blown by the wind, but seeing his eldest sister staring straight at the ground, he couldn't help but look down.
