Chapter 31, Eat

"Ignore them." Old Man Qi stretched out his hand to block Qi Bao'er's sight.

I just regretted that I didn't have two more hands to cover Bao'er's ears so that she could hear these dirty words.

In fact, people like Tian Daya are relatively civilized in scolding in the village. The mother-in-law scolds the daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law scolds the granddaughter for being a spoiler.

"Master, what do they eat?" It's different from their steamed buns.

Old man Qi told Qi Bao'er: "Those are steamed buns with added bran. You can buy a pound of bran in the town for one penny. The bran is light, and it only costs ten or twenty cents to buy a sack. Add some cornmeal to make the steamed buns."

, even if you are very hungry, you can still eat.”

There is no such thing as bran here. Yingzhou is located in the north of Qilin State. There is little rain and the rice yield is too low, so everyone grows drought-tolerant crops such as wheat and soybeans.

It is unclear when the grain dealers began to transport rice bran from the south for sale. In the countryside, at least in the surrounding villages that Old Man Qi knew, most people could not live without this food for two meals a day.

Tian Daya's buns are good, at least they add corn flour, while other buns are just rice bran and wild vegetables, which is hard to swallow.

"Why is it that color?" The grass is green, but the rice bran and cornmeal are not that color?

"Rice bran is a rough thing, and it will be difficult to pass out after eating it. There is a grass called mustard on the mountain that will cause diarrhea if eaten. Let's pound out the juice of the mustard and add it to it."

Old man Qi sighed, the people in the village were poor, but those who grew grain had no food to eat, and they were the ones I was talking about.

Farmers have to work on the land all year round. During the slack period, they can only do part-time jobs and earn little money. What can they do if their families don’t have money? They can only exchange grain for money as soon as it is harvested. It is the cheapest to exchange it yourself.

Come and eat.

You said that for this kind of thing, most of the girls in the village can only eat half of a meal, and some even share half of the meal with two people. They also have to keep walking with everyone, and some even have to walk at the same time.

It cannot be stopped in the hand.

Thinking of the girls in the village, Old Man Qi couldn't help but hug Qi Bao'er's hand tightly. He was extremely glad that Bao'er was born in his family. If this was the same as those girls...

Can't think, can't think.

Qi Baoer also silently hugged old man Qi tightly.

Without comparison, you wouldn't know how happy you are. At least their family doesn't eat such whole grains. They don't have white-flour steamed buns and steamed buns, but at least there is no bran added to the steamed buns.

Her milk used to be the fine part after grinding wheat bran at home. The coarse milk used to be fed to pigs when the family had pigs. Later, they stopped raising pigs and switched to raising cows, so they used it to feed cows.

Don't ask why they eat so poorly. The yield here is low and there are few varieties. Just say that the sweet potatoes and potatoes she is familiar with are not available here.

According to her father, it was even worse in the past. The people cultivated their own land, but their pockets in the granary were all empty during the New Year. It was only after the eldest princess introduced corn from the Suzaku Kingdom that they would not go hungry.

"Sir." Qi Bao'er's small hand accurately covered Old Qi's mouth. This was a 'magic skill' she had developed over the past two days.

In the past, Qi Bao'er never cared about other people's opinions and thoughts. He was used to going his own way. If he didn't like it, it was okay. Let's fight first.

Yesterday afternoon, she peeled an egg for Da Lang to eat. Coincidentally, a little girl they didn’t know happened to see her not far away from them. The little girl’s eyes were filled with covetousness and envy at first, but she looked again in the blink of an eye.

Dali's eyes were filled with hatred.

Qi Bao'er is not afraid that someone will come at her with malicious intentions. It's the other party's ability to get rid of her. Even if they use conspiracy and tricks, she doesn't think it's a big deal. It's only a person's ability to make a conspiracy happen.

But this person didn't hate her for having food in her hands, but instead resented her elder brother?

Later, she told her father about this matter and asked her father if his eldest brother had made a grudge against someone.

Her father told her that because she was a lucky baby in the village, no one would or dared to treat her maliciously for fear of being punished by God. Moreover, before setting off, they even spread the word to the outside world that she had an expert master.

Is her so-called master who is also afraid of her secretly protecting her?

Therefore, when they are extremely hungry and see that others are well fed or even well fed, they feel resentment in their hearts. This resentment does not dare to be directed at her, so it can only be directed at the people she treats kindly.

Why is Qi Baoer your sister?

Why should I pray for Bao'er to give you something to eat?

Rather than praying for Bao'er to have something to eat.

From then on, Qi Bao'er never ate in public. When cooking for his family, he would put something in his palm and slap it on the other person's mouth, and the thing would go into the other person's mouth without anyone noticing.

The sweet one is caramel.

Old man Qi smiled at Qi Bao'er without saying anything, so as not to let others see that he was eating.

You didn't say you don't want to or anything. Bao'er never allows you to shirk when doing things. On the contrary, if you go back and forth too much, you will attract other people's attention.

Now many people in the team are starting to starve. It’s not that they’ve eaten all the food they brought, but that in the past, when they were really hungry before finishing the dry food, they could just take a few bites of it. Now, no matter whether they’re hungry or not, they can only hold on.

When the team stops.

There are many shameless women in the village, so it's okay for Bao'er to eat alone. Fuwa's power has not diminished yet, but is gradually increasing. In addition, she now has a master who is intimidating her.

But if other people in their family also eat it, someone will be sticky.

Just like in the morning, Mrs. Ge, the daughter-in-law of Qi Hanzhong, saw her daughter-in-law eating kudzu root [the strong part of a plant, which contains sugar after being dried], and came over crying with her grandson in her arms.

He was senior in the clan. Many people in Bao'er who were about the same age as her father had to call her aunt. When Qi Hanzhong was around, she had to call him uncle. Even if Mrs. Ge had become a grandmother, his wife would still be her aunt.

The junior hugged the younger one and followed him with tears in his eyes. His wife was a shameless person, so she gave away a whole bag of kudzu root.

Qi Bao'er also stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth. She had never eaten this kind of candy before, but now she could chew it with relish.

Liu Lang saw that the mouths of the grandfather and grandson were moving as they approached. He turned around and whispered to Si Lang next to him, "Fourth brother, my sister and I are starting a small stove."

Qi Bao'er used the word "xiaozao" accidentally. At first, everyone didn't understand what it meant. Qi Bao'er was not a person willing to take the initiative to explain. It was not until the whole family was given "xiaozao" that the whole family was now deeply aware of it.

Remember this word.

Siliang licked his lips and swallowed. He was also very greedy. He had to wait for the whole family to arrive before he could eat. He was already hungry.

"Be good, you can eat soon."

One is the father at the top, who must be filial, and the other is the sister at the bottom, who must be loved. We are not greedy.

Mrs. Tian also greeted her grandfather and grandson with a wooden basin, "I'm just waiting for you. Why are you not hungry? You've been dragging it until now."
