Chapter 688

Old Tao Bi made a gesture, Li Chanjuan understood his meaning instantly, her face tangled for a while, and soon glared at him: "I think you are looking for death! The seller knows we have bacon here. Won't he ask where it comes from? "

Lao Tao sighed: "I don't know it's a fire, so I'm just talking about it. But I'm still going to keep some things. I don't want to say that I can make a little money if I sell them now. We can't even rent a house now. We can't sleep on the street."

Li Chanjuan was relieved and nodded: "that's true. I heard that lard is very expensive in the city, let alone bacon." After thinking about it, Li Chanjuan decided, "just keep the biggest piece of bacon, and then sell it and rent a small yard."

Now the rent of a small house with one door and one courtyard in the city is very affordable. The situation of less people and more houses after natural disasters will not change for about ten years.

It's new year's day. Li Chanjuan also wants her family to have some good food. That can of lard with fried potatoes is very delicious.

For days, Li Chanjuan and her husband have been used to careful calculation, always ready for the future.

Space.

"Ah -"

"ah ~ ~" the little Dragonfly raises its head and opens its mouth.

Duanmu Xiang took a close look at her small face. The swelling in the little guy's mouth has subsided and returned to normal color.

"Well, it's OK. We can eat meat."

As soon as the little Dragonfly heard the meat, she immediately cheered and ran to Xu Qing for something delicious.

Xu Qing is cutting noodles. There are not many noodles at home. This time, Xu Qing has made a lot of noodles. Half of them are reserved for the Spring Festival, and the other half is given to Li Changting's third sister.

Noodles are easy to cook, easy to eat and full.

Next to a Ying will cut the noodles wrapped in paper, stained with paste seal, and then yard into the basket.

Little Dragonfly holds Xu Qing's thigh to beg for food.

"It's not time for lunch yet. Can I make you fish balls later?"

"Good ~" mood a United States, the little guy began to huohuohuo things at hand, a small claw grasp, a pinch of noodles will be broken into two pieces.

Xu Qinghu pretended to fight. The little Dragonfly ran away and went to the edge of the ridge to see the fish.

Xu qingqiaomian filled a can of spicy oil from the kitchen, sealed the mouth and put it in the basket. When Li Changting came in, he took it out.

Li Changting carried the basket out of the space, but when it was almost night, he asked Xiao Wu to quietly send it to Li Chanjuan's family.

The basket was tightly covered with drawer cloth. Xiao Wu didn't know what was in it, but he probably guessed that it was the food that the Lord gave to the family.

Small five just send it, and then take Li Changting's words to them.

"Don't expose the things in this basket. Eat them yourself."

Li Chanjuan's family responded excitedly and gratefully sent Xiao Wu out.

After Xiao Wu left, Lao Tao couldn't wait to open the basket to see what was in it.

"Oh dear!" He low call, surprise tunnel, "unexpectedly is so many noodles!"

In the basket is 20 jin dried noodles, which is full of the whole basket. In the corner, there is a big porcelain jar, sealed with a cork.

Lao Tao carefully pulled out the cork and went to the mouth of the jar to smell it! It's like spicy oil! "

"I smell it, too!" The daughter and son couldn't help coming together. Each of them smelled the fragrance in the jar and said with a smile, "it's really fragrant!"

Li Chanjuan carefully took out all the noodles in the basket and put them on the small short table. When she found that there was nothing else in the basket except dried noodles and a can of spicy oil, she decided that her younger brother simply brought them food.

They still haven't eaten more than half of the things they brought in a few days ago. They are reluctant to keep them for the new year.

I didn't expect to send food again so soon!

"This noodle is not cheap. I'm afraid only those generals in Qinglong mountain have such good things. I didn't expect that the general would give us such a generous hand!" Lao Tao's dark thoughts about his brother-in-law were shaken now.

Li Chanjuan picked up a bag of dried noodles and smelled: "it smells good! It's the same as what we just made. Look how beautiful the noodles are. It's definitely made of good flour! "

Lao Tao agreed and nodded: "twenty Jin is enough for us to eat for a month!"

Li Chanjuan smell speech white he one eye: "you still want to eat such good noodles every day, beautiful you!"

Although Li Changting brought the food to his family, he also led the grain sent by the imperial court. Although they were all coarse grains, the most common ones were potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were either steamed or roasted.

By the time of the natural disaster, they had already eaten them until they vomited.

If there are conditions, no one is willing to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Lao Tao said: "what's the matter with eating every day? You see how good my brother-in-law is. Before we finished eating all the previous things, he sent new ones. Maybe he sent them again before we finished eating the noodles."Li Chanjuan hesitated.

Lao Tao then advised: "you think it's going to be new year's day. Let's eat better during this time. I don't know what day it is after new year's day. Even if my brother-in-law won't give us food after this meal, I'll recognize the fishy potatoes at that time."

Li Chanjuan struggled for a while and looked at a pair of children. When the natural disaster happened, her daughter was 17 years old and her son was only 15 years old. It was the time for her to grow up. As a result, she had been hungry and full for five years. The two children are so thin that her son didn't grow up.

Li Chanjuan was cruel: "well, from today on, I'll cook a kilo of noodles for dinner every day, and I'll sleep well only when I'm full. I'll make up for you during this period, and I'll have the strength to work after spring."

The son and daughter all cheered. For them, having enough to eat and sleep is the happiest thing in winter.

Li Chanjuan: "in the morning, we still eat the grain sent by the imperial court. I'll see what grain the general sent last time can keep. What we can't keep will be eaten slowly."

Ordinary people only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Before the natural disaster, every family ate three meals, even the rural families, but the rich families ate three meals a day. When they were hungry, they ate two meals.

After natural disasters, people are not so particular about it. Sometimes they can only eat one meal a day, and some of them are good.

If this is still in the border town, Li Chanjuan must feed her family every day. Now she has no conditions. If she doesn't move on the Kang, she won't be hungry easily. Two meals are enough.

Li Chanjuan put the noodles back in the basket, wrapped them in cloth and put them in the salute in the corner, pretending to be humble.

"When I was young, my grandmother asked someone to do a divination for me," Lao Tao said
