Because there are so many people during this period, it is difficult to "do magic", so eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and all kinds of vegetables are overflowing in the small space courtyard.
"Milk, let's go pick up the eggs!"
These five words made the old lady feel like she had been given a shot of blood. She looked around and saw that all the other women were about three feet away. She quickly carried her granddaughter on her back and walked a few steps further into the woods.
When a woman saw it, she shouted, "Auntie, don't go too far, be careful of snakes!"
"Okay, I got it." The old lady responded, and the woman didn't care anymore. She was busy picking food. Mushrooms, I'm going to make a mushroom soup for dinner to give everyone a change of taste.
Jiayin took the opportunity to quickly put a bunch of eggs, a bunch of chestnuts, and a bunch of dates in the grass.
There are more than thirty eggs, five or six pounds of chestnuts, and five or six pounds of dates.
In fact, she wanted to bring out more, but the eggs could be said to be born by pheasants, and the chestnuts and dates could be pushed to the diligent squirrels.
In addition, taking out duck and goose eggs is like a slap in the face at the speed of light. Where can ducks and geese come from deep in the mountains and forests?
There are also fruits and vegetables. Where are the fruit trees and the vegetable gardens?
Fortunately, she wasn't in a hurry, she took her time and there was always a chance.
She had neither the intention nor the ability to provide food and drink for the whole village.
But when I find an opportunity, I take out some things to improve the food for everyone.
After all, everyone in the Li family was also eating from a big pot, and there was no chance to eat alone...
Fortunately, the old lady was very easily satisfied. When she turned around and saw so many things, she wanted to dance with joy.
She also knew not to be too showy, so she quickly picked up the eggs, took off her coat, and wrapped chestnuts and dates.
Jiayin lay on the old lady's back. Seeing that the old lady's hair had turned a lot whiter, she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she whispered to the old lady to sit down.
She found two honey chicken cakes from the small space courtyard.
This is sold at the big market in my hometown town. It uses honey from the mountains. It doesn't look so beautiful, but it has a traditional taste. One piece is as big as a palm, and it is very affordable and sweet.
She went to the market the day before and bought three kilograms, and brought them all here the next day...
The old lady saw her granddaughter holding this weird "snack", stuttering and squinting her eyes happily.
She also took a tentative bite and turned to look in the direction of the camp before swallowing.
Jiayin guessed that she was thinking about her children and grandchildren, and she was reluctant to eat such delicious food alone.
"Milk, eat, eat! Give it to my brother tonight!"
Jiayin tried her best to stuff snacks into the old lady's mouth. The old lady hesitated for a moment and finally ate a big gulp. After finishing the meal, she helped her granddaughter watch out.
Jiayin simply took another big apple and ate most of it with her grandma.
The grandfather and grandson then returned to the camp carrying eggs, chestnuts and dates.
"Hongying, come on, let's see what I found!"
I have to say that the old lady is very talented in acting. She called out to the women at the top of her lungs, and then talked with everyone with great interest about how to find wild eggs and how to rob the squirrel's nest. .
Everyone else was surprised and happy, but Tao Hongying understood this "routine operation" very well.
So, she held her daughter's face, kissed her heavily, and then went to work.
The eggs are half boiled, and each of the little ones nourishes their bodies.
Uncle Zhao and several old men who are in poor health, as well as the village chief's aunt and Dr. Zhang, also need one each.
In this way, half of the eggs are used in one meal.
Everyone looked distressed, but his subordinates did not hesitate.
When you are away from home, there is nothing more worrying than the health of the elderly and children.
If one of them gets sick, everyone will be worried.
You can also put the dates aside, boil the chestnuts, peel them and put them in the porridge. This will not only fill your stomach but also save food.
The naughty boys followed, begging for a handful of chestnuts, and then threw them into the bonfire to burn.
When they were cooked, the chestnut kernels were soft and sweet, making them happy.
The first thing An Jiaxi did was run to feed his sister chestnuts.
The boys were not good at cooking, and the chestnuts were roasted black and half of them were burnt.
The two brothers broke off the good half and brought it to their sister's mouth.
Jiayin didn't mind it either, so he just took a few bites with a smile and let it go.
Jia An Jiaxi just stuffed it into his mouth, and it seemed like a black beard grew around his mouth.
The three brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, which made the women envious.
The children of the Li family are sensible. The naughty boy in their family only knows how to play wildly and never knows how to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
While Jiayin was learning to speak from her brothers and making them happy, she was distracted by steaming steamed buns in the space.
After practicing for more than a year, she has become very proficient in controlling space.
It's easy to collect grain, thresh and grind it, not to mention steaming steamed buns.
She was not willing to use all white flour, after all, the food stored in the small courtyard was limited.
Fortunately, there was cornmeal, half white flour and half cornmeal, added with yeast, fermented, and then put in a pot and burned it. When the work was finally finished, it was already midnight.
Everyone in the village had already eaten, and except for the night watch, everyone else was asleep.
The Li family built another piece of linoleum outside the shed to keep out the dew, and the baby slept inside. At the door was the old lady holding Jiayin, and outside were Jia An Jiaxi, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru.
As for Jiaren Jiayi, Jiahuan and Li Laoer, they all slept outside the circle with the men in the village, and even when they slept, they vaguely protected the old, weak, women and children.
Jiayin quietly pushed her grandma. The old lady felt light-hearted and thought her granddaughter wanted to pee, so she sat up directly.
Jiayin quickly hugged her neck and stuffed her with a warm steamed bun.
Mrs. Li trembled in shock and vaguely smelled the fragrance of the noodles, and she understood what was going on.
She didn't dare to speak, so she kissed her granddaughter excitedly, and then patted her two grandsons gently, "Stop talking, open your mouth."
Jiaxi Jia'an was asleep in a daze, but she was obedient and opened her mouth directly.
As a result, the sweet and solid taste in the mouth made them wake up immediately.
Steamed bun!
It's still a thin-faced steamed bun. I don't know what was added to it, but it has a slightly different kind of sweetness.
The two boys' eyes were bright as they ate, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
Just eat hard, chew hard, and the sour burning sensation in your empty stomach slowly disappears.
The feeling of being full is such a blessing!
The old lady didn't want to eat even one bite. She fed her grandson two steamed buns before she stopped. "Don't tell anyone to sleep."
Jiaxi Jiaan immediately closed her eyes, quietly sipping the sweetness remaining between her teeth, secretly excited. , but dared not say a word.
Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and went to find her three grandsons. Jiaren was alert and woke up when he heard the noise.
Mrs. Li directly stuffed him with three steamed buns, then waved her hand gently. Jiaren understood immediately and carefully hid the steamed buns in his arms.
After grandma hugged his sister and lay back down, he paused for a while, then he called Jiayi and Jiahuan, "I want to go big, I'm a little scared, you guys come with me."
Jiayi and Jiahuan immediately got up, and the three brothers He walked a dozen steps outside.
Tonight, Liu Biao led his men to keep watch for half the night. When he saw this, he said, "Don't go far."
The three brothers nodded quickly and found a place that was away from human eyes and not far from the camp.
Jiayi untied his pants and put the water in, but saw that Jiaren didn't move. Just when he was about to ask, Jiaren took out three steamed buns from his arms, and he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
Jia Huan, on the other hand, looked suddenly enlightened. No wonder he smelled the fragrance just now...
After a while, the three brothers returned to the camp together and continued to sleep.
No one knew that they had more warm buns in their stomachs than others.
With this steamed bun as a base, it feels like the cold grass beneath me has become a little warmer...
