Chapter 104： Eat secretly

Chapter 104 Stealing food

Due to the large number of 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 and pick up the eggs!”

Five words, the old lady felt like a shot of chicken blood. She looked around and saw that 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 mushrooms and simmering mushroom soup for dinner to give everyone a change of taste.

Jiayin took the opportunity to quickly place a bunch of eggs, a bunch of chestnuts, and a bunch of dates in the grass.

More than thirty eggs, five or six catties of chestnuts, and five or six catties of dates.

Actually, she wanted to bring out more, but the eggs can be said to be from pheasants, and the chestnuts and dates can be pushed to the diligent squirrels.

Others, 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 is not in a hurry. She takes her time and there is always a chance.

She has neither the plan nor the ability to provide food and drink for the whole village.

But when I find an opportunity, I just take out some things and improve the food for everyone.

After all, everyone in the Li family is also eating from a big pot, so there is no chance to eat alone...

Fortunately, the old lady was easily satisfied. When she turned her head 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 cakes from the 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 catties, and brought them all here the next day...

The old lady saw her granddaughter holding this weird "snack" and eating it while 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. She was reluctant to eat such delicious food alone.

“Milk, eat, eat! Give it to my brother at night!”

Jiayin tried his best to put snacks into the old lady's mouth. The old lady hesitated for a while, then ate a big gulp. After eating, she helped her granddaughter keep watch.

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 find!”

I have to say that the old lady was very talented in acting. She called all the women over, and then talked enthusiastically with everyone 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 should be boiled half way, and each of the little ones should replenish their health.

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 up 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 person gets sick, everyone will be worried.

You can also put the dates aside, boil the chestnuts, peel them and put them in the porridge, which will not only fill your stomach but also save food.

The naughty boys followed him, 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, and they were so happy that they pooped.

The first thing An Jiaxi did was run to feed his sister chestnuts. The boys were not good at their craftsmanship. 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.

He didn’t mind the good news either, so he just took a few bites with a smile.

Jia An Jiaxi just stuffed it into his mouth, and it looked 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.

Jiayin was busy learning to talk with her brothers and making them happy, while 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, let alone steam 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 watchman, 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 Good News, and outside were Jia An Jiaxi, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru.

As for Jiarenjia, Yi Jiahuan, Li Laoer and others, 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-headed 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.

Old Mrs. Li trembled in shock, vaguely smelling the fragrance of the noodles, and she understood what was going on.

She didn’t dare to speak. She kissed her granddaughter excitedly, then patted her two grandsons gently, “Stop talking and open your mouth.”

Jiaxi Jia’an was in a daze, but he was obedient and opened his mouth directly.

The result was a solid sweetness in the mouth, which made them wake up immediately.

Steamed bun!

It is still a thin-flour steamed bun. I don’t know what is added to it, but it has a slightly different sweetness.

The two boys’ eyes were shining brightly after eating, but they did not 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 so happy!

The old lady didn't want to eat even one bite. She had to feed her grandson two steamed buns before she stopped. "Don't tell anyone to go to sleep."

Jiaxi Jiaan immediately closed her eyes, quietly sipping the sweetness remaining between her teeth, feeling secretly excited, but not daring to say a word.

Old Mrs. Li took her granddaughter and went to find her three grandsons. Jiaren was alert and woke up when he heard the movement.

Mrs. Li directly stuffed him with three steamed buns, and then waved her hand gently. Jiaren understood immediately and carefully hid the steamed buns in his arms.

After grandma hugged her sister and lay back down, and after a pause, he called out to Jia Yi and Jia Huan, "I think I'm a little scared. Please go with me."

Jia Yi Jia Huan immediately stood up, and the three brothers walked a dozen steps outside.

Tonight, Liu Biaotou led his men to keep watch until midnight. When he saw this, he told him, "Don't go too 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 belt to put some water in, but saw that Jiaren hadn't moved. Just as 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 knows that they have more warm buns in their stomachs than others.

With this steamed bun as a base, it feels like the cold grass beneath me is a little warmer...
