The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 9

It took less than two days for the konjac vermicelli fever in the downstream villages to reach the upstream villages. Besides the villagers, there are also a lot of konjac fans in the mountains.

Cuihua decides to go back to her mother's house, and Lao Hu's house can also have more food, right?The culprits were hanging on Cuihua's arms, one on the other, and had to be driven out.

"I'm going to see my parents-in-law!"

"Mother, you are afraid of traveling alone, we will accompany you!"

"Mom, you are the best, you are the best mother, just take us with you!"

"What's the matter, when I beat you up a few days ago, didn't you become a good mother again?"

"No, you are a good mother! You are the best mother!"

I took the honey chestnut cake I made last night and kept half of it at home and half at my mother’s home. I dragged the two cubs and climbed the mountain road for more than an hour before arriving at Lao Hu’s house. The days of home immediately flooded into my heart, looking at the yard was very cordial.

Houses with civil structures, high stone walls, deep mountains to prevent wild animals from attacking, every house has high walls, and dogs barking can be heard from far away.The Hu family's hunting dog, Old Hei, is a wolfhound, a combination of a wolf and a dog. The ten-year-old dog is very sensitive. When he ran to the gate of the courtyard and saw Cuihua, his barking changed.

Mrs. Zhang went out with the soles of her shoes and saw that it was her daughter, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome the three of them into the main room, hugging the big head and the second head and kissing each other, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! I'm here to see you! Do you miss me?" "Ouch , mother-in-law, be good! I miss you all!"

Seeing that Cuihua was speechless, she unloaded the chestnut cake from her back basket and handed it to Mrs. Zhang, "Mother, I made it myself. Let me give you a taste." "Good! Good! Good!" The set, the daughter-in-law gave it and happily took it.

Before they could say a few words, a group of dolls ran out from their respective rooms, and their shoes were all gone. One said, "Gu!"

The eldest brother’s Xiaoshan is the largest, eating seven-year-old rice, the big head is the second, the second is the third, the third brother’s Xiaocao is the fourth, the eldest brother’s Xiaohua is the fifth, the second brother’s Xiaochuan is the youngest, and he was the one who lost his shoes just now .

Looking at my aunt eagerly, why else?Mrs. Zhang laughed and cursed and took out the chestnut cake brought by Cuihua, and shared two pieces with each of them.

Although I have already eaten a few pieces last night, there is no pastry that I would get tired of eating, so I quickly stuffed two more pieces.I took Xiaoshan to see Lao Hei. Recently, Lao Hei just gave birth to a litter of puppies, and the two heads seemed to be unable to walk.

After the children had finished running, the eldest sister-in-law Zhao Sanniang and the third sister-in-law Jiang Laidi came slowly. Zhao Sanniang has a handicraft of Sichuan embroidery and usually embroiders in her own room most of the time.

Jiang Laidi is so pure that she can't do much work. She often complains that she has a headache and calls her five-year-old daughter Xiaocao very much. Mrs. Zhang can only close her eyes. The mother's family of the mountain.

A few women are playing together, Cuihua hurriedly explained her intentions, and brought a five-jin bundle of konjac vermicelli.

"How many bowls of this dry powder can be cooked?"

"How does it taste? Is it still the taste of konjac tofu?"

"How can I cook and eat?"

After Cuihua finished answering the questions of several people, all of them praised it. Although Laohu’s family has no paddy fields, there should not be too many slopes. There are many konjacs planted, and the temperature on the mountain is lower, so there is no digging yet.

Old Hu took Daniu and Erniu to the county town to deliver prey and hadn't come back yet. The third child was yelled home by Zhang's Geshan.

Mrs. Zhang took Lao San and Cuihua to the konjac field, picked and picked them, and grinded two large buckets of taro slurry before dinner.When Cuihua's father, Hu Dahai, took his two sons back to the mountain with a few bags of grain, he was very happy to see his daughter back.

After eating konjac fans after dinner, no one would say yes to them. Cuihua explained the production process of the vermicelli to her family several times in detail, and presented the old man Yuan as a gift.

The old Hu’s family said that they will do a big job, and the main food price has risen again. Now rice has risen to [-] yuan a catty, and game is only at this price. A meal of porridge and vermicelli can save a lot of rice, right? .

Cuihua wants to stay at her mother's house for one night, and the culprits sleep with Xiaoshan in the uncle's house, and they make a fuss all night. The second one strongly asks to take the two dogs back to watch the house, and Xiaoshan generously agrees.

The next day, when Ertou proposed to keep a dog, Cuihua put it in a difficult situation on purpose.

"Is there not much food for the dog at home?" "We will eat half a bowl less in the future, so we can do more work!"

"What if the dog poops everywhere?" "We shovel it ourselves!"

Well, in fact, she is also a dog lover, who can say no to a milky dog.Besides, we can secretly feed the puppies, as long as they can't talk, it's good.Hey, it's harder than a dog to give the brothers a sneaky extra meal.

Hu's family still needs to dig konjac today. After breakfast, Cuihua hurried back to the village with her children. She carried two pheasants on her back, which were caught just this morning, and two dogs, Niang Sanhua. It took an hour to get home. It was easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain!

Although Mrs. Ma muttered for a long time that keeping dogs wasted food, he couldn't bear the children, so he couldn't discuss it. One person at each end named a dog, the big dog was called Black Tiger, and the two-headed dog was called Black Panther, and he wasn't afraid of their father. Hei Wa turned his face.

I also installed a bamboo basket for the dogs in the bedroom to make a nest.

In the evening, when Cuihua enters the space, she brings the dogs in. Once the milk is arranged, the mother of the patron don't hug her thighs too tightly. No matter how intimate she is with the two babies during the day, she only looks for the mother of the patron at night.

In less than ten days, even Mrs. Ma thought it was miraculous that the dog could be fed with such a little porridge, which is so easy to raise!
