Chapter 16 The Embarrassment of Eating Meat

Liuzhi pushed the door open and entered. The light in the room was very dark. After standing at the door for a while, his eyes got used to the darkness and he could probably see the furnishings in the room.

The space in the room is very small, a single bed is placed near the window, and quilts and clothes are piled in a mess on the bed.Next to it was a large table with several notebooks on it.

Willow was surprised to see a few yellow wild flowers in a glass cup on the table.This makes the whole room warm.

I leaned over and smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance.The small flowers should have been picked for a few days, and they don't look delicate, but it doesn't affect my liking for it.

There was some ridicule in the room, and Liu Zhi opened the window to let in some air.

Liu Zhi, who was bored, lifted the lid of the pot, but there was nothing in the pot, and the pot was clean.Open the cabinet next to it and see a small bag of cornmeal.

Liu Zhi wanted to make him something to eat, and then asked him for help.

It is easiest to make steamed buns with hot noodles. After a while, the buns are steamed in a pot.There seemed to be no food in the house, and there was no taste in just eating steamed buns. Liuzhi walked out of the room to see if he could dig some wild vegetables around.

Bitter vegetables and dandelions are everywhere on the hillside.It's just that the taste is rather bitter, and everyone doesn't want to eat it.What people don't like to eat is the favorite of chickens and ducks.

Looking at these patches of wheat, the growth is gratifying, which makes people feel at ease.

When the autumn harvest comes, everyone's faces are beaming, waiting for the grains to return to the warehouse.The whole village is immersed in the joy of harvest.

Willow Branch found some plantains that are not too bitter. Wash this wild vegetable and blanch it in boiling water for cold dressing. It tastes good.

It would be great if there were eggs, just make egg soup with steamed corn bread and cold dishes, such a meal is delicious even if you think about it.It's a pity that there is no one nearby, otherwise you can ask for a few to make soup.

Liu Zhi washes and cuts the wild vegetables, and then mixes them when Du Chenqiang comes back.

After doing these things, Du Chenqiang still didn't come back.Liu Zhi waited a little anxiously, and looked around when he went out, but he didn't see Du Chenqiang's figure. He didn't know where this guy went.

Recalling his previous life, Liu Zhi felt that he was very pitiful, and was afraid of everything to death.

Ever since she married Shi Biao, not only did she have to work tirelessly, but Shi Biao often suspected that she was hooking up with men outside.Shi Biao said that the man outside should be referring to Du Chenqiang.

Knowing that Liu Zhi's life at her husband's house is difficult, Du Chenqiang privately sends some food to Liu Zhi.

Seeing Liu Zhi's haggard face and thin body, Du Chenqiang felt distressed, but he couldn't share a little for her.

Every time I see Du Chenqiang, I feel like a thief, very guilty.

Even though he couldn't get enough to eat at his in-law's house, he refused the willow branch given by Du Chenqiang: "I eat very well at my in-law's house. You don't need to bring these here, just eat it yourself."

Du Chenqiang, who was rejected, felt the fear of her in-laws in her heart.

Liu Zhi fell into the memory, staring blankly at the wild flowers in front of her.Even Du Chen forced the door to come in without noticing.

Du Chenqiang saw her dazed, holding a rabbit in front of her eyes.This action startled Liu Zhi. "Mom" cried out. "What is it?"

Relieved, Liu Zhi stretched out his hand angrily and slapped Du Chenqiang on the shoulder, "Oh, so you went to catch rabbits, I thought you went somewhere wild."

"There are a lot of wild rabbits on the back mountain. You know that rabbits are very fond of digging holes. They destroyed all the crops planted by farmers. I just asked a few partners to catch rabbits when I had time."

"It took so long to catch a rabbit?"

"I caught a lot of rabbits, and put them in my partner's house to raise them, and I'm going to sell them in the county."

"I caught one to satisfy my hunger. You are a person with good food, let's eat together later."

The meat was very tender, and it was cooked through after a few stir-fries. There were no extra bowls and chopsticks, so the two of them ate around the pot.No matter what the willow branches are, they grab the meat with their hands and stuff it into their mouths.While eating, I didn’t forget to say: “It’s delicious, it’s so fragrant.”

Du Chenqiang was amused when he saw Liu Zhi eating meat like crazy, Du Chenqiang took a piece of meat and chewed it a few times, then frowned.

Liu Zhi ate meat with his mouth full, and looked at Du Chenqiang in puzzlement.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious! It's so fragrant."

"It's delicious. I forgot to put salt. It doesn't taste at all. I'll put some salt and fry it again."

"No need, it's just as delicious without salt, I like it."

The greedy worms in the belly of the willow branch that hadn't eaten meat for a long time were hooked out.Liu Zhi doesn't care how well it is cooked, as long as the meat can be eaten in his mouth, he is satisfied.

Liu Zhi was a little anxious to eat, so Du Chenqiang handed her a glass of water to signal her to drink.

Liu Zhi choked and felt uncomfortable and asked slowly after drinking the water: "Do you have time tomorrow morning?"

"I'm going to sell kimchi at the market in the county seat tomorrow, because there are a lot of things I can't get on foot. Don't you have a bicycle? Help me carry the things over there."

"You're going to sell kimchi? Are you going to sell things as a woman, can you do it?" Du Chenqiang was a little surprised, and his tone of voice was a little doubtful.

"What's wrong, you look down on me, why can't I sell kimchi." Liu Zhi was very angry at Du Chenqiang's suspicion

"It's too small to look down on people. Just wait and see, I will not only sell kimchi in the county town, but also in the city and province. I'm afraid you will be jealous."

"Oh, why are you still angry. I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Selling things will be very hard, and many things are not as simple as you think."

"As long as the things I sell are good, I'm not afraid that no one will buy them."

"I don't need your help, I'll solve it myself." Liu Zhi was really angry, he didn't eat the meat, left Du Chen, who was astonished, slammed the door and left.

The door, which was not very strong at first, was crumbling by the willow branches.Du Chenqiang hurriedly got up and supported the door that was about to fall.Shaking his head: "The little girl is quite impatient, and she gets angry after saying a word casually."

Liu Zhi walked down the path angrily, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with him today.Du Chenqiang's words made him fly into a rage.

Slamming the door and leaving like this is just a quick way, but there is no way to go to the county seat tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi slapped himself on the forehead fiercely, "Damn it, it's a big deal to be short-tempered."

Liuzhi walked home dejectedly. Tomorrow, she had to spend money to ride a donkey cart.
