There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 55 This little girl wants to do something again

Qi Cheng carefully covered the sheets for several daughters-in-law and grandchildren, and then went to the campfire with a sewing basket.

The light beside the fire was not very bright, and almost all the old ladies in the village were sitting around here, either with their heads down and weeping, or with their shoe soles on their hands.

Qi Cheng thought about how many miles he would have to drive next, and the shoes of the adults and children in the family were the most expensive, so he also thought about getting more soles out of them.

Everyone nodded, and no one spoke, for fear of waking up the sleeping people.

During the next two days, almost all the men in the village went out to hunt for prey.

The children collected firewood nearby, while the women stayed outside the cave to store food.

The future road has not yet determined the distance, let alone whether it is safe on the road, so everyone wants to make some food that can be stored for a long time and convenient to eat.

Originally, there were only noodles and so on, but now that there is meat, there are many more styles to make.

Yi Meng's culinary skills are the best in Qi's family, so she is responsible for the food storage, and the sisters-in-law will help.

Whether it is pheasant, hare, roe deer or wild deer, all the meat is removed and cut into strips half a foot long and two fingers wide.

After the big wooden basin is cleaned, put the meat strips in, add salt, dogwood powder, star anise, fennel and other seasonings, and start kneading.

Grab the seasoning evenly, and then use a rope to thread one end of the meat strip, and hang it on a temporary shelf built aside to dry.

From morning till night, the open space of Qi's house was covered with strips of marinated meat.

The meat strips that have been drying for most of the day are picked off and brushed with a thin layer of oil on the skin, and then baked on the fire.

At this moment, the sun was almost sinking, and all the children came back, so the work of roasting meat was handed over to them.

The air was filled with the smell of barbecue and fried meat, which made the children drooling while turning over the barbecue strips. They all looked at the meat excitedly as they were nervous and frightened when they were besieged by wolves. .

There was a child who was greedy, and the adults found out after stealing the meat strips, and they directly exchanged for a meal of fried pork with bamboo strips.

Not only did the crying sound of wow not make everyone feel depressed, but they felt more at ease.

Crying and laughing, this is also a portrayal of life.

After working like this for three days, the Qi family prepared nearly one hundred catties of dried meat, and other families also roasted a lot.

Including their original food, if there is no accident, eating three full meals a day can completely last for two or three months.

But no one dared to think that they would be full for three meals a day.

In the past, this was a year's ration for the whole family, and eating it all in two or three months was simply a prodigal act.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the sun just came out, and more than 200 people in Yongping Village set off towards the east.

There is a road on this side that was determined after being led by Quan Quanjin for three days.

Walk eastward along the edge of the fire. If you walk fast, you can get out of the mountain in about three hours.

But among so many of them, there are livestock, carts, and old people and children, so the speed is destined not to be fast.

Quan Quanjin led his people to clean up an open space on the road.

The branches on the ground were cleared and covered with thick leaves.

The leaves are covered with oiled paper, and the oiled paper is covered with quilts and the like to prevent moisture and cool.

When everyone came to this flat land, the sun had already set.

After walking for about five hours, I only rested for less than two sticks of incense.

At this moment, everyone is exhausted physically and mentally.

Along the way, everyone saw lush green on the left, and scorched gray on the right.

Everyone felt as if they were walking between the world and hell. The strong visual contrast made everyone feel depressed.

The resting place is on the gray side, but everyone is facing the green side in unison, as if this can improve the mood.

There are ignorant children who cry tired and hungry, and are quickly suppressed by the adults at home.

The old people sat together in twos and threes rubbing their legs without speaking.

Many people's eyes are red and swollen.

After crying for almost a day, everyone couldn't cry anymore.

The oppressive atmosphere lasted until the evening of the second day.

After walking for two days, everyone finally walked out of the forest and stood on the flat land again.

Qi Manman, who had been sitting on the trolley for two days, saw the flat ground without trees, and immediately clapped his hands happily: "Uncle, Man Baoer has to go by himself!"

At this moment, Qi Manman was sitting on the wooden cart pushed by Qi Dafu.

Qi Shilang and Qi Chengshi were still sitting on the wooden cart.

The old lady walked for a long time. Before she slipped and nearly fell, her family arranged to sit on the wooden cart.

Because there was one more adult and two younger ones, Qi Ercai and Qi Sangui transferred most of the things on Qi Dafu's cart to their carts.

When Qi Cheng heard the words of his precious granddaughter, he hurriedly said: "Man Baoer, be good, you can go down later when we find a place to rest."

"No, grandma, why don't you just let Man Baoer go down? Man Baoer really wants to go down for a walk!"

Qi Manman blinked his big round eyes, looking at his grandma expectantly.

That way, if you don't agree to her, it's like doing a huge evil.

The word of promise was on his lips, but Qi Cheng resisted it.

Children's bones are soft, if they are tired, it will affect their whole life.

Seeing that grandma disagreed, Qi Manman had no choice but to change direction and look eagerly at his mother who was walking on the side.

"mother……"

As soon as Yi Meng heard the little girl call her, she knew that she was asking for her.

Glancing at her mother-in-law, seeing the other party shaking her head towards her, Yi Meng hurriedly said before the little girl continued: "Man Bao'er is the most obedient child, isn't she?"

"Yeah, Man Baoer is the most obedient!"

Qi Manman nodded vigorously.

She is the most obedient child, even the tenth brother is not as obedient as she is!
Yi Meng said again: "All good children can listen to adults, Man Bao'er is going to be disobedient now and become the most good child?"

"I, I am the most obedient!"

Qi Man pouts angrily: "No one is as good as Man Bao'er! Neither can Brother Ten!"

Although the little girl is only four years old, she is determined to win or lose.

Yi Meng was almost amused: "Man Bao'er, listen to grandma, and play in the field after we find a place to rest."

"Yes, but..."

Qi Manman's small face was full of confusion.

Yi Meng's heart skipped a beat, she always felt that this little girl was going to do something again.

"Man Bao'er, if you really want to take a walk, then mother will accompany you, and you can't walk too much, at most ten steps, okay?"

Yi Meng had a premonition that something would happen when the little girl got out of the car, if she was not allowed to get out of the car, they might miss something.

In short, you must get off the car, but you have to make an agreement with the child first, and you can't let her have fun.
