Luo Cuihua smiled and said, "That's right. Yiyi followed his father and brothers into the mountains not for nothing; we can also catch game at the critical moment."

Cheng Dazhu smiled and nodded, and then looked at his little grandson who was squatting on the ground and playing together; he discovered that this little granddaughter was lively and cheerful, and he couldn't tell the difference on weekdays, but she was reliable at critical moments.

Looking at the eldest granddaughter who was following the eldest daughter-in-law on the other side, the girl was listless and didn't know how to help her mother.

Cheng Dazhu shook his head silently, and could only comfort himself, the same rice can support all kinds of people.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Cuihua took out the wild vegetables she picked from the wooden house. After holding them for a long time, the wild vegetables were already gone. She saw Cheng Dazhu's silent look and asked.

Cheng Dazhu looked back at her and said nothing, only shaking his head; Luo Cuihua looked anxious, but since everyone was together, she could know about something immediately, so she relaxed a little.

Li Lianhua's three daughters-in-law took care of the rabbit, took the remaining water and poured it into the pot. Without any other cooking process, they poured the rabbit directly into the pot. After the water in the pot boiled, they took some more seemingly Throw in clean wild vegetables.

Mingyi was stunned when she saw this scene, but she didn't seem to find it strange.

This was basically the case along the way. Water was scarce. I wiped the pots and pans with hay first and then rinsed them with clean water.

Mingyi admires the ancients' good intestines and stomachs.

"Sister, we have rabbit meat today. I will give you two more pieces of my brother's meat later." Cheng Mingli said with a smile, "Tomorrow we will go with dad, and we will go to the grassland to dig more wild vegetables; let's see See if there are any rabbits left, and if there are any, let’s get them back.”

"Okay." Mingyi nodded. There should be other game in the huge grassland. "Bring the fire dumplings tomorrow and look for rabbit holes when you encounter them."

"My sister is smart, I didn't even expect it."

Mingyi was thinking about how she should be careful when eating meat tonight, not to eat the dust on the wild vegetables into her mouth; she could only hold a little more soup and wash it off later.

If you eat something with sand and soil, if you are lucky, it will be expelled, but if you are unlucky, it will become solid.

Why do future generations have to boil water before drinking it?

This is just because there are bacteria in raw water that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Secondly, there are some impurities in the water. Boiling it and letting it cool can properly precipitate some impurities.

The smell of meat spreads as the water in the pot boils, and the whole camp can smell it a little bit. People who haven't eaten meat for a long time can smell the smell of meat, and the olfactory stimulation is even greater. Many people swallow their saliva, including children who can't help but be greedy. Many of them went to squat around the camp near Cheng Dazhu's house.

If you can’t eat it, you can smell it.

"The meat is so delicious!"

"I want to eat meat, dad and mom, I want to eat meat."

After being stimulated at Cheng Dazhu's house, many children ran back to pursue their elders.

Suddenly, the whole camping place echoed with the cries of children. It was really too long after not eating meat for a long time.

Cheng Mingli led Mingyi and walked to Chen Daya, "Mother."

"You guys are here, are you hungry? Come here, mother will get you a piece of meat to eat first." Chen Daya raised his head and glanced at his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law who were working on their own. She took a small bowl and fished it out of the pot. Put two pieces of meat into the bowl, and then put some wild vegetables to cover it, "Take it to the side and eat it, don't let anyone see it, you know?"

Cheng Mingli felt ashamed for a moment and wanted to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye he saw his sister staring at the bowl in her mother's hand. He endured the shame of eating alone and took his sister to the shed where his parents lived. After entering, he quickly handed it to his sister. , as if holding a bowl of hot potatoes in his hand.

"Sister eats."

Mingyi nodded and did not take the bowl. Instead, she fished out the wild vegetables with her bare hands and tasted them. The fishy smell of meat in her mouth was not very delicious.This knowledge made her move her eyes away with a slight disappointment, "Brother eats too, and Mom has a lot of wild vegetables. Brother eats a little to satisfy his craving. When we eat later, the youngest of us will definitely eat the least, so let's eat first. a little."

Cheng Mingli wanted to say that if the elders haven't eaten, the younger ones can't eat first; however, the food was given by mother and the younger sister had already taken a bite, so it would be pretentious to say this.

Thinking about this, I can only give up.

After eating a few mouthfuls with Mingyi, the wild vegetables in the bowl were gone.

Mingyi took a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed it slowly. She handed the bowl to Cheng Mingli. There was still a piece of meat in the bowl. Cheng Mingli took it after hesitating for a moment. After a while, he saw that his sister had finished eating and then handed it to her. .

"Sister, I'll give this piece to you too."

Mingyi glanced at the bowl and then at Cheng Mingli; this silly brother was cute and silly, and he loved his sister very much.

"I ate a piece. This piece belongs to my brother." He pushed him back and ran out of the shed without giving him a chance to speak.

Cheng Mingli chased to the door and stopped when he saw his sister running to his mother. He turned his back, stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewed it quickly and swallowed it, then brought the bowl to his mother.

"Mom, I brought the bowl for you."

"Take your sister to play nearby, don't let Xing Xingzi catch you."

Chen Daya glanced at Cheng Mingyue, who was sitting next to her and never reached out her hand, her eyes flashing with displeasure; after all, she was a niece, it was hard to say anything, an eight-year-old girl had nothing to do all day long, she only knew how to eat.

Look at her family's appearance, even those younger than her know how to go out to find food.

"Brother doesn't need to accompany me. Mom, I'm going to find dad." Mingyi said and ran towards Cheng Yuanxi.

Chen Daya said to his son: "Follow me yet."

Cheng Mingli nodded and chased after her, running to his sister before stopping; there was still the taste of meat in his mouth, a long-lost taste, "Dad, my sister and I came to play with you."

"Come." Cheng Yuanxi took his son and daughter to sit on the floor next to his father, and asked his children to sit beside him and chat with Cheng Dazhu.

At dinner, Luo Cuihua filled out two bowls of wild vegetable soup and asked Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuanxi to deliver it to the village chief and clan chief; no meat was given, and the soup was fishy, ​​so she was sticking to the bottom line.

She couldn't do it by taking out the food from home at every turn; besides, she gave it to the clan leader and village chief but not to anyone else, what would people think?
After all, the wild vegetable soup had no meat, and others were speechless.

The dining table was made of rocks and branches. The family sat around the simple table, with a pair of bowls and chopsticks placed in front of each person.

Luo Cuihua was responsible for allocating the food, wild vegetables and hare stewed in two and a half large pots; Luo Cuihua was responsible for allocating the hare meat, but the wild vegetables were not allocated, and the other pot contained porridge with a clearly visible bottom.

Cheng Dazhu was given a bowl of rabbit meat, and Luo Cuihua got a small half of the bowl for herself, which should be worth five or six yuan; followed by her three sons, grandson, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. The two rabbits seemed to be a lot of meat, so they divided it up. Although Yi also got a bowl, her brother's bowl only had half a bowl, and her mother's bowl had five yuan.

The three Cheng Yuanxi brothers each divided most of the bowl.

Li Lianhua and Feng Juhua’s bowls are the same as Chen Daya’s, five yuan.

There seems to be a lot of meat, but in fact not much is available.
