Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 28 028 Meat
Mu Yu never asked Yang Erlang what he was thinking, she knew that Yang Erlang was also confused now, and believed that he would tell her as soon as he figured it out.

She just needs to do her own thing and wait for that time to come.

She returned to the ruined temple with a hundred weeds, and quickly divided the weeds into sevens and eights, and collected a pile of sundries.

I'm in a good mood, I got a complete coat, and with the ones I received earlier, I have already made up a suit of clothes without holes or patches.

Just as she was thinking, she saw Yang Erlang walking towards her, and she squinted her eyes after just one glance.

Yang Erlang, seems to be, laughing?
God knows, her relationship with Yang Erlang began when he lost his mother, and after that she only saw a blank expression on Yang Erlang's face.

Laugh, how is it possible?

But as Yang Erlang approached, she found that it seemed to be a real smile, although it was extremely inconspicuous.

Although puzzled in her heart, she also looked back with a smile.

When Yang Erlang entered the room, she just wanted to ask what good things happened today, but when she saw the things in Yang Erlang's hands, the smile on her face froze.

Yang Erlang walked up to her and put the things in his hands on the ground. Although there was no smile on his face, he could still see his satisfaction and satisfaction.

She guessed that it was probably the same as the expression on her face when she finished counting the weeds and food in the mustard space today, and Yang Erlang was also very satisfied with his harvest today.

"There's still time, let's cook it and eat it."

Mu Yu looked at the mass of dead things with brown fur on the ground, endured the bloody and stinky smell from the tip of his nose, and stretched out his hand to flip it over.

Although it was skinny and bloody in some places, it could still be seen vaguely. It wasn't a cat, a dog, or a wolf. It should be a fox.

Mu Yu took the rag beside him and carefully wiped his hands clean, while thinking about the words in his heart,

"Let's not eat this...how about we exchange it with others?"

Yang Erlang looked at her, and she also looked at Yang Erlang, neither of them spoke for a while.

In the end, Yang Erlang shifted his gaze to the fox on the ground, exhaled as if in compromise, then picked up the fox and walked out.

Mu Yu looked at his back, a little helpless.

Of course, it's not because of some damn reason that she cherishes life and can't kill. After experiencing the horror of hunger, she feels that if she is really forced to do so, as long as it is not human, there is nothing that other animals can't eat.

The reason why I don't eat this is mainly because I am afraid of any germs.

Under the current conditions, a cold and fever may kill people, not to mention the germs that the fox may carry.

You have to think about eating domesticated chicken, duck and pork. Don't you pay more attention to wild ways like foxes?
Anyway, if you're still hungry, there's no need to take the risk of eating this.

As for how to explain it, she had thought of it a long time ago. Eating foxes is bad luck. This reason is easy to understand and very useful.

However, the problem now is not here.

Where did Yang Erlang catch the fox?

There is not a single grass root left in the wasteland around the ruined temple, and even ants cannot survive. Of course, it is impossible for foxes to survive here, let alone in the streets and alleys.

Therefore, Yang Erlang went to a place outside the scope of the ruined temple.

And she knew that there were two places where foxes could be caught, one was near the river depression at the southernmost part of Huangsha City, and the other was Beishan, where the man-eating beggars gathered.

The former is too far away, and it will take time and energy to go back and forth. It doesn't fit the current situation, so rule it out.

Then it is the second situation, which was caught in Beishan.

Although she hadn't visited Beishan's territory, she knew that it was named after a small hill and that it was not far away, so the fox was most likely caught near Beishan.

So what did Yang Erlang go to Beishan?To catch a fox?

I'm afraid this is not necessarily the case. Foxes are not easy to see even in the deep mountains and old forests in ordinary years. What's more, in this city, ordinary people may not even think that there are foxes in that small hill.

Therefore, she was more inclined that Yang Erlang went to Beishan for something else, and then accidentally caught this fox.

As for the reason why Yang Erlang went to Beishan...

She raised her head to look at the door, the sky had already turned gloomy, Yang Erlang stepped into the door with something in his hands, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

"Here, in exchange for the eggs and cornbread."

In Mu Yu's sight, Yang Erlang's face became clear again, and it was no different from before. She put away the speculation in her heart, and calmly took the cornbread and bird eggs from Yang Erlang's hands.

For a fox not much bigger than a wild cat, it was quite a bargain in exchange for two cornbreads and four bird eggs.

Speaking of which, she dare not eat animals like foxes, but bird eggs are acceptable.

Both she and Yang Erlang haven't eaten meat for a long time, and it would be nice to have bird eggs to satisfy their cravings.

But it was too late at this time, and it was too late to cook, so I put away the eggs and cooked them again tomorrow morning.

Yang Erlang had two steamed buns, and she also had two in her hand, and if each person shared ten weeds, he would not starve.

The two of them got together to eat, they both ate quickly and silently, and they finished stuffing in a short time.

Mu Yu poured two bowls of water from the pitcher, handed one bowl to Yang Erlang, drank one bowl himself, and finally asked him,

"Let's cook the eggs tomorrow morning. By the way, who did you trade the eggs with?"

Yang Erlang drank the water wholeheartedly, without raising his head, he said,
"Boss Zhao and the others."

Mu Yu: ... Well, actually, I guessed it a long time ago.

"I mean, if it's not hard for them to find eggs, we can trade them for them once in a while..."

Yang Erlang thought about it seriously this time, and said,
"Bird's eggs are not easy to come by, and such a good thing can only happen once in a while."

Mu Yu was somewhat disappointed.

Bird eggs are considered meat food, and the nutrition they can provide cannot be replaced by weeds or cornbread. Besides, the taste of bird eggs is also very good.

But think about it, how can there be any food that is easy to get during the famine?
As soon as she cheered up, she heard Yang Erlang say thoughtfully,
"Bird eggs are not easy to get. Eggs are easier. Residents on the East Street have chickens, and you can hear the sound of chickens crowing in the morning."

Mu Yu's eyes lit up, yes, eggs are better than bird eggs!

But there is also a problem, bird eggs are traded with beggars who have bird eggs, and eggs need to be traded with chicken farmers.

It's just that the transaction object is different, and the difficulty of this matter has been raised by a level.

Because of the cannibalism of beggars in Beishan, the people in the city resented the appearance of beggars, and sometimes even used sticks to expel them. They did not allow beggars to stay there for a long time, let alone trade things.

This situation is a little tricky.

Mu Yu thought about it all night without making up her mind, but the moment she ate the soft and delicious boiled eggs the next morning, she made a decision.

Eggs need to be replaced!
