Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 49 Drought by the Sea?
Old Jiang's heart trembled, and he pointed at his eldest grandson Jiang Mingtang: "Push the cart and let your father pull the ox cart."

Jiang Mingtang looked at the old cow lying on the ground, and then looked at Jiang Dashan with mournful eyes.It seemed that Jiang Dashan had turned into a live cow, and was about to end up like an old cow.

Jiang Dashan was very disturbed by his son, but he did not refuse the old Jiangtou's order.

His eyes darkened, and he said in his heart, pull the ox cart, pull the ox cart, and the fairy water saved will be his sooner or later!His alone!
When he became a master, he took his wife and children to live in Kyoto.He doesn't want these eccentric parents anymore, let them and Jiang Dongliang, the little son who doesn't understand the world, go there!

Old Jiang's cattle are dying, and Lizheng's cattle are not doing much better either.It can't pull the car anymore, and it keeps going and stopping all the way.Continuing to keep it will only slow down the progress of the entire team.

Li Zheng decided that the team would rest on the spot, and he would also kill his own cattle and share the meat with everyone.

They also wanted to kill cattle, and Old Jiangtou only wanted to make beef jerky for his family to eat, but Lizheng was willing to share the meat with everyone.

When everyone thanked Li Zheng, it was inevitable that they would bring out the selfish old ginger and talk about it.

Old Jiang's head squinted and complained about Lizheng: "Lizheng is amazing, my family kills cattle and you kill cattle, and you share the meat with everyone, so it shows that you are more generous than me."

Li Zheng rolled his eyes and asked, "A cow has so much meat, can your family eat it?" The weather is so hot, the meat can't be kept at all, and it will stink overnight.

Old Jiangtou said: "If you can't finish eating, you can make the meat into jerky like my family. Why give it to others for nothing?"

Li Zheng explained patiently: "It takes time and effort to make jerky, and it needs to be baked and dried. My family members are already too tired to lift their feet because of the rush. I don't want them to work so hard. "

Lizheng felt sorry for his family, but Lao Jiang didn't feel sorry for his head.He does not discriminate.He planned to keep the eldest son's family of four from sleeping tonight, and gather around the fire to roast the whole cow's meat into jerky.

When Jiang Dashan received the task, his shoulders collapsed.

Xin Lamei and Jiang Mingzhu hugged each other directly and began to cry.This is the rhythm that will exhaust them to death.

Mrs. Jiang scolded: "Old lady, I'm not dead yet, are you crying now? If you don't shut up, don't eat my food or drink my water!"

When Xin Lamei heard this, she stopped crying and covered her daughter's mouth to prevent her from crying...

Not long after, Li Zheng's family sent Jiang Erya a whole beef tenderloin, which is the most delicate part of a cow.

Jiang Erya was not polite, took the beef tenderloin, cut it into thin slices, salted it, wrapped it in flour, rolled it in egg liquid, put it in the pan, and fried it to eat.

That smell is so gluttonous!

Others want to follow her method to fry beef, or they can't get out the flour, or they don't have egg liquid, so they can only burn it on the fire and eat it directly.

Whether it is delicious or not, the most important thing is to fill your stomach.

Jiang Erya was still not satisfied with the pan-fried beef tenderloin, she said to Jiang Erniu: "This taste is still a bit bad, it would be better if some pepper was added."

Not far away, Jiang Dashan suddenly raised his head. Jiang Erya, a little village girl who has never been out of the village, how could she have heard of such a precious thing as pepper?

She also knows that fried beef tastes better with pepper?

He had been the second shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant for several years, and if it wasn't for a picky guest who came to the capital that time, he wouldn't have known about it.

This is so strange!

Since then, behind Jiang Erya, there has always been a pair of probing eyes...

Eat well and sleep well, the next day is slightly bright, and the team continues to walk east.

After walking for a long time, Jiang Erya felt something was wrong.

She called Li Zheng aside and said: "If the escort's father's route map is correct, we will go east another twenty miles and we will arrive at Dongchang County City.

Our feet have actually stepped on the boundary of Xuyang County, Dongchang County.

But we have all seen that the situation in Xuyang County is no different from that in our Qingjiang County.The same drought, the same barrenness, the same emptiness...

Dongchang County, is there really no shortage of water? "

Jiang Erya asked her dog system this question for a long time, but the dog system kept avoiding answering, so she had to ask Lizheng.

Lizheng is very sure that there is definitely water in Dongchang County!How can Dongchang County lack water?It is by the sea!

Li Zheng didn't understand that whether a place lacks water or not depends not only on whether it is close to the sea, but also comprehensively considers the influence of air pressure belts, ocean currents, and wind direction, etc.

Li Zheng didn't understand, but Jiang Erya understood a little.

She said: "You have to be mentally prepared. The situation in Dongchang County should not be too optimistic. The situation in Xuyang County is clearly here. Xuyang County is only twenty miles away from Dongchang County."

Lizheng thought about it, and said uncertainly: "Xuyang County is still twenty miles away from Dongchang County. Is it possible that Xuyang County is too far away from the sea? The water vapor in the sea can't get through ?”

After much deliberation, Lizheng still decided that at dawn tomorrow, he would continue to lead the crowd eastward for another twenty miles.

Everyone came here for Dongchang County. If they stopped at Xuyang County, [-] miles outside Dongchang County, and didn't see for themselves whether there was water in the city of Dongchang County, no one would give up.

After hearing Lizheng's decision, Jiang Erya sighed inwardly. There is a high probability that the journey of twenty miles tomorrow will be for nothing...

……

The next morning, everyone finally saw Dongchang County City.

This is the destination they have been looking forward to and looking forward to for more than ten days.

But they did not cheer, on the contrary, they were unusually silent.

Looking from a distance, I saw that the city gate of Dongchang County was closed tightly, and there were thousands of victims outside the city. The victims were surrounding the city wall, begging the officers and soldiers above the city wall in distress.

"Officer, please open the city gate and let us in."

"Officer, we are dying of thirst, please help us..."

Dozens of officers and soldiers on the city wall showed unbearable expressions on their faces, but none of them dared to answer.

One of the officers and soldiers was so hot that he took off the small water bag on his waist, took a small sip of water, and moistened his throat that was about to smoke.

He was sweating and said to his colleagues: "At this time of the year, the typhoon kept blowing and the rain kept falling. The roof of our house was blown away by the wind every now and then, which made my parents worry...

Who would have thought that this year it would be like this!I dare not even take a sip of water. "

The colleague shook the small water bag on his waist, and said: "After the governor issued the water restriction order, each of us can only receive such a small bag of water every day, how can it be enough to drink.

Tonight, I guess I will be too thirsty to sleep again.

What can we do?

I can only endure this.

The sheriff is right to ask us to close the city gates.

Once the gates of the city are opened, these thousands of disaster victims will pour in, and the people in our city will suffer even more..."

　I am PKing on the recommendation position, and I need everyone's recommendation tickets, sign-in, likes, and check-ins... Thank you everyone!
