Poor family mother and son

Chapter 319
The main dish was served, and the stir-fried fish nuggets in black bean sauce did not cause much reaction.

People in the boat gang eat fish every day, and fish don't cost money.

On the contrary, the spicy tofu, boiled pork slices, Maoxuewang, and twice-cooked rabbit meat made everyone's mouth full of oil.

Be it peanuts or chili peppers, they have not spread to the south of the Yangtze River.

There are many places in the north where it is planted, but the area is not large.

And in the past few years, everyone has been focusing on cotton, and many farmers have planted cotton on the farmland that was abandoned in the past.

After all, peanuts and peppers cannot be eaten as food, and apart from Chu Qing, there are too few people who spend money to buy them.

Cotton is still worth a lot of money, and even if it is not sold, it can be kept for use.

In every dish today, there is no shortage of peppers.

Locals are more used to eating sweet food.Especially in Yibin Mansion and surrounding areas, the food is sweet and joyless.

There is a big reason that Yibin Mansion is one of the main sugar production bases of Daxuan.Cane sugar, which is precious in the north, is affordable by ordinary people here.

But now, there is only a hint of sweetness in each dish, but it is spicy, salty and fresh.

Although I was not used to it when I first entered the mouth, after a few mouthfuls, everyone couldn't stop their chopsticks.

Especially Shui Xiaomao, who was so hot that he was sweating all over his head, sucking in air-conditioning incessantly, tears and snot, and wanted to rub it on his sleeves, but when he saw the clean and soft material, he couldn't bear it, so he just Suck the snot and slip back, as for the tears, I don't care about it.

Shui Damao is better than him, after all, he is a few years older, there are many ways to do it, it doesn't matter if the nose is runny, he pinches his nose with his thumb and forefinger, blows hard, and then throws it into the river.

It was the first time for the children to eat something like this, and they enjoyed it very much.However, there were too many monks and too little porridge, and the children who had just served two chopsticks bottomed out the dishes.

They are all half-grown children, and their appetites are not small.

Xiaobao ate a lot of snacks in the morning, and now he is not very hungry, so he stopped talking early and specially helped the young children grab food.

Gan Lai and Chu Yuan kept cooking by the iron stove.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of shopping along the way, and it was not a problem to feed these dozen people.

Chu Yuan was in charge of all kinds of cooking, and after staying with Chu Qing for a long time, he really learned a lot of dishes.

Gan Lai belongs to the kind of person who has no talent for cooking, and he has a taste for everything.

But there is one thing that is great: even though you can't do well, you never give up.

Right now, Gan Lai is frying eggs and scrambled eggs non-stop, and egg custard is still stewing on a small clay stove beside him.These are eggs procured for the hairy.

These few don't need any great craftsmanship, as long as they don't get confused.

Just smelling the taste, not caring about eating, my stomach growled when I was happy.

Chu Yuan rolled up the fried omelette with ten egg yolks and put it in Gan Lai's mouth.

This aunt can't be hungry, otherwise it will really turn into ooze and pile up on the ground without moving.

Shui Maomao tasted every dish, it was really delicious, but he had to stop his chopsticks, although the spiciness was good, it made his rotten tooth hurt even more.

"Zi... Ha!" Swallowing another sip of corn wine, Shui Maomao stretched out his face wrinkled by the spirits, wiped the oil on his mouth with his dirty sleeve, and said hesitantly: "Boy, I have I want to discuss something with you."

Hearing Shui Maomao's words, Xiao Bao put down his chopsticks and waited for his next words.

"I wanted to discuss it with you after you came back from the darts, but..." Shui Maomao glanced at the children around him who were hardworking, and said, "I still want to give you a specific impression first."

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Bao became more serious: "You say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

This is from the bottom of my heart.

Shui Maomao gave them two pair of swimsuits, which he and Gan Lai wore all the time, because it was Shui Maomao who discovered the danger and reminded them to take precautions.

However, there is no water to rely on during this journey, which means that all the dangers in the water have been resolved by Shui Maomao.

It really echoed what Shui Maomao said back then: "As long as you are in the water, I will protect you."

Xiaobao has always given the greatest respect to this kind of people who keep their word and act with resoluteness.

"Don't rush to promise, listen to me first. These children," Shui Maomao's eyes swept back and forth on the children's faces: "You can also see that they are as sick as me... um.... "

Xiaobao also followed Shui Maomao's eyes and looked at the children.Except for his special appearance, Xiao Bao doesn't think it's a disease.

There are many people who look different.

Look at the people of Voss, they have brown eyes, some are blue, some are green, their skin is also white, some are yellow, some are half white and not yellow, some have black hair, some are golden .

"I don't know what you think?" Shui Maomao looked at Xiaobao's expression, but didn't see any fluctuations.

Xiaobao blinked and asked, "Are you sick? Are you feeling sick? I don't think there's anything wrong. Humans don't look exactly the same."

"I think it's a disease. We are all sensitive to light. We are very uncomfortable when the sun is shining, we can't see clearly, and our skin will be peeled off." Shui Maomao rolled up his sleeves while Xiaobao saw his There are shallow pits on the arms one by one, as if the skin has been peeled off and never grows.

Shui Maomao continued: "I've been like this all my life, but the children are still young, they shouldn't suffer like this from me, so..."

The sins that should not be suffered are not only physical, but also psychological.

Shui Maomao paused, as if it was difficult to speak, but he still said: "I want to entrust them to you."

Xiaobao was stunned for a while, unable to recover.

What is "entrust?" Why entrust?What happened to Shui Mao Mao?

Although the children had been chomping on the vegetables, they slowed down when they heard this, and even closed their mouths to chew.

There was a sudden silence in the cabin.

"Of course, you don't have to agree." Shui Maomao said immediately when she saw Xiaobao was in a daze.

Xiaobao is also a child, how can he throw such a big burden on Xiaobao?

"I promise!" Xiaobao finally came to his senses, and immediately said, "I promised to take care of them, but, Shui Maomao, are you sick? Or where are you going? Or have no money? Why do you want to entrust them?"

Xiaobao thinks that Shui Maomao is a good little old man, and if he encounters any difficulties, he can help him without hesitation.

Xiaobao's eyes were full of concern, which moved Shui Maomao's heart.

He said: "Stinky boy! Don't think that I am poor because I am dressed in shabby clothes! I am rich.

I was just thinking, if your mother is an official, she should be able to meet some capable people, and see if she can cure the children's diseases and make them live like human beings.

It's not in vain to bother you two, these children will follow you in the future, and I have passed on to them the skills that my master passed on to me. They are all good skills and can help you.

You don’t have to rush to respond when I say this, I’ll bring them here today, first to show you a closer look at them to see if you can accept them, they have a pretty good impression of you.

Second, I'm saying goodbye to you too.When you get here, there is no danger for you on the water, and I can no longer follow you, beyond my ability.

You think about it slowly, don't rush, just give me an answer when you come back from the dart.It doesn't matter if you don't agree, it's not your responsibility. "
