Chapter 2254

"Don't be lazy at home. Go into the mountains and find something to eat." The old woman urged.

Meng Li looked at her angrily: "Niang, can't you speak better? I have to say those ugly words to defeat the bad mood. "

"Then I will? I'm not in the mood to flatter you in such a life. "

The old woman rubbed her hands and put her hand into the water, but the water was not warm enough. She immediately took it out again.

Meng Li has no choice but to take the back basket under the eaves and turn around. The back basket is made of bamboo. It's so cool that there's nothing warm in this house.

At the beginning of spring, I can't find many things in the mountains, but it's hard to get by. Now I'm short of food at home, so I have to find some wild vegetable roots. If I'm lucky, I'd better meet pheasants and rabbits. I have to pick up some firewood to go back. If I have nothing to do, I'll go up the mountains to pick up firewood and sell some money.

But in fact, there are poor families all around. When they have nothing to do, they search in the mountains. There are not many things they can find. The firewood they pick up is enough for their families. It's unrealistic to want to sell extra firewood.

Meng Li went up the mountain with her basket on her back. She picked it up when she thought it was useful. There was dew everywhere, so her clothes were wet and even colder. Fortunately, there was still a little sunshine coming out, and she dried them again. She raised her head and faced the sun. She was warm. She narrowed her eyes and couldn't help laughing.

This smile is difficult to her, smile pain, because before too cold, the whole winter down there is no nutrition, more impossible to have water things, so that the face is too dry and stiff.

I found some wild vegetables, some roots, some firewood, and only half of the basket was filled. Rao Shi came to find these things after she went a wide way. Mentally, many other people were also looking for things in the mountains. Everyone had a hard time, but their family was the hardest.

After all, with so many children, the pillar of the family fell down again.

Meng Li sighed deeply and couldn't help reaching out and stroking her stomach. The space was empty and she was hungry.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are hungry. You still have nutrients. But this body hasn't been touched with oil for a long time. There is a deep desire for meat. This desire is too strong and greedy.

Meat.

The family is so poor that it's impossible to buy meat. Even if you buy meat, you have to be scolded by the old lady. You can count on the mountain.

There must be a pheasant or a hare on this big mountain. Meng Li released her mental energy to look for it. It took her a long time to find a pheasant. The pheasant hid in the grass outside the forest. Meng Li quickly left a mental imprint on it. Don't let it run away.

Then he hurried to catch a pheasant. The pheasant weighs a few Jin. Meng Li smiles and feels satisfied. He can eat meat.

This body is too short of oil and water. It's hard to use it. We have to solve the deep needs of the body first.

If you put the pheasant at the bottom of the basket, you are also afraid of being seen by the neighbors. Life is too poor for people to see, so they should come to ask for some meat with bowls.

But seven people in the family can't have a good time eating this chicken. There is no extra handout for others.

Back home, she didn't say a word and hid in the kitchen. The old woman walked in quickly. In fact, she wanted to see the harvest in the morning. Who knew that a faint pheasant was found in the basket.

Her mouth was open in surprise, which was enough to plug an egg. Meng Li put her index finger in front of her lips and said, "Shhh...

the old woman knew very well. She immediately closed her mouth and then swallowed her saliva. She said to Meng Li," I caught it on the mountain? "

Meng Li nodded: "well."

The old lady rubbed her hands, then reached out and stroked the feather on the back of the pheasant. She said, "this is quite fat."

"Well." Meng Li's expression is light.

No matter fat or thin, I have found such a one, even a thin one.

The old woman immediately sighed: "the last time I found meat was last winter. Ren Da found it in the mountain."

Meng Li didn't answer and wanted to kill the pheasant to pluck its hair. Seeing Meng Li's posture, the old woman stopped her and hesitated. She said, "let's sell it and buy some medicine for Ren Da."

"This pheasant can't be sold much. If you can't get any medicine, you might as well give Ren Dabu a tonic." Meng Li said without raising his head.

This body is too short of oil and water. If you don't get food, you will feel nervous and insecure. Besides, you can't sell any money. Ren Da's leg will take care of it.

The old woman was a little angry: "you don't care about your husband either."

"I know how to eat, you greedy woman."

Meng Li frowned slightly: "Niang, what is gluttonous? Can I eat alone? And the children, everyone is short of oil and water, how long has no oil and water in the stomach? Mother, don't you feel bad? Are you really not greedy? "

"The last time I sold those grains, it didn't make Ren Da's legs better. It depends on this chicken?"

"Now that you've learned to talk back, you're going to turn the world upside down." The old woman was also angry. She couldn't see Meng Li's attitude.Meng Li didn't want to argue with her. She came to change the life of the client's family instead of dealing with the old woman, so she softened her face and softened her tone:

"the children are pitiful. Ren Da is also pitiful. She hasn't eaten meat for a long time, so it's better to make up for it."

The old woman saw that Meng Li was soft again, so she felt comfortable. She snorted and said, "greedy woman." Then there was nothing else.

"Just a minute." Anyway, it's time to cook. There's no big difference between eating in the morning and eating in the afternoon.

"I'll tell the children not to make any noise." The old woman touched the pheasant's feather and said, "it's a pity."

She went out of the door, Meng Li took out the firewood pile on the mountain to one side, those are not too dry, still can't burn, have to put for a period of time, there are some wild vegetables, she began to take care of.

In fact, there are not many wild vegetables. Most of them are wild vegetable roots. No one wants to eat them. Wild vegetable roots are the roots left by others who have taken away the vegetables on them. The reason why they have left roots is that they think it's useless to take them home and let them sprout. This kind of people who have left wild vegetable roots are not extremely poor, even though they are not poor enough to eat them.

Once upon a time, the client's family only cut wild vegetables and didn't uproot them. Now it's helpless to uproot them.

In fact, the taste of these wild vegetables is really bad, especially there is no oil or seasoning. They can only be cooked by steaming in the pot. The taste tastes like chewing wax. Meng Li thinks about how to make them delicious, but the four children flock in to see the pheasant.

I always think my grandmother lied to them. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Does meat really exist?
