Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Exchange for food

Spread seasoning on the chicken, wrap it in mud and put it in the fire to make a simple version of beggar's chicken.

The rabbit meat is cut into cubes, skewered with thin branches, and grilled over a charcoal fire.

The hare meat soon gave off a rich aroma, and the meaty aroma was so tantalizing that it made people salivate.

The oil in the rabbit meat fell into the fire drop by drop, making a squeaking sound. As various condiments were sprinkled on it, the aroma of the meat became more intense.

Hei Jin was so greedy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't dare to come over. He was afraid that Song Liyun would hit him again, so he could only stay away from him.

Fortunately, I have friends who are sympathetic and considerate.

Every time Song Liyun grilled a skewer, Xiao An would cool it down and send it over.

Hei Jin was so moved that he hugged Xiao An and kept kissing his face.

After eating the roasted rabbit, everyone was full. Song Liyun put away the beggar's chicken still wrapped in mud and the roasted rabbit that Song Zhenping left before starting to pack the tent.

Xiao An touched the one-person tent that looked like a small house and said persistently: "If you like it, come back!"

Now that there are more and more people around Pauline Curie, he still likes to be with only his brothers, sisters, and Heijin.

Setting up a tent in the mountains and forests like today was his happiest day.

Song Liyun touched his head: "Okay, we will come again tomorrow. Call me too."

She also felt that the house was getting noisier and noisier, and Xiao An and Hei Jin felt uncomfortable.

It would be better to enclose the forest outside Baolin Residence and build a separate paradise for Xiao An and Hei Jin.

It’s a rare trip, so you must return with a full load.

On the way home from the mountain, Song Liyun and Xiao An Heijin walked, played and collected things.

When Song Liyun got home, there were several piles of acorns in Song Liyun's space, as well as a lot of dead trees and firewood.

I have two more pheasants and three rabbits on hand.

Since his younger brother and sister were not at home, Song Zhenping felt uneasy that day. Before the sergeants finished their work, he waited by the river early.

When he saw Song Liyun and the others appearing on the other side, Song Zhenping finally felt relieved.

Stepping on the long ladder, the three brothers and sister reunited.

Xiao An held his brother's arm, showed him the cute little rabbit, and then showed him the rabbit skin he had peeled.

After watching the live rabbit and watching the dead rabbit, the scene is a bit strange.

Song Zhenping blinked hard, holding back tears, and laughed until her eyes were red.

Xiao An didn't even dare to speak loudly before, but now he can actually handle prey.

When the three brothers and sisters arrived home, the sergeants at the guard station had already finished their work and left. Only Han Ming was cleaning up the remaining garbage in Baolin Residence.

In the evening, I cooked millet porridge, added pickles, and reheated the beggar's chicken. It was a hearty meal.

Han Ming had only been in Baolinju for a few days, and he thought that drinking some cornstarch paste would be enough.

Unexpectedly, not only was he full, but he also ate meat almost every day. Now he probably couldn't get rid of it even with a knife.

Still, there is strength in numbers.

In just one day, the backyard has changed drastically. All the garden soil has been plowed, and two fire walls have divided the yard into four parts. A fire is burned in the middle to keep warm on both sides.

A large piece of the miscellaneous forest outside Baolin Residence was also cut down and used as a backup firewood pile, which was enough for burning for a period of time.

In the following time, everyone was in the cat winter, but Baolinju was a busy scene.

Acorn tofu still needs to be made, and there are more things to do with the greenhouse in the backyard. Brother Song Zhenping and Han Ming are very busy.

The area of ​​this expansion plus the original one brings the total greenhouse area to more than 500 square meters.

There are more vegetables to sow.

Chinese cabbage, beans, eggplant, peppers, and a piece of leek.

Among these seeds are mixed the good seeds brought by the last days.

Song Liyun was not sure. After being left in his own space for ten years, these excellent varieties carefully cultivated by scientific researchers had expired and could not sprout and grow again.

There is no thermostat, and the firewall needs to be monitored 24 hours a day.

There is no humidifier, so the greenhouse is sprinkled with water twice a day with a broom to cool down and moisturize.

These jobs were dirty, tiring and inseparable, and they were all done by Song Zhangping and Han Ming.

The task of delivering acorn tofu to the town fell on Song Liyun.

Since the greenhouse was set up, it has been snowing heavily for several days in Ruijin Town in the twelfth lunar month.

It snowed heavily all night, and the eaves were already covered with feet of snow.

Song Liyun took the pots out of the kitchen and placed them on the wooden rake.

Now Boss Mu needs three pots every day, and today he will also send one pot to the Jinglao Hall.

She tightened her clothes and was about to go out when Xiao An ran over and said, "Sister, go!"

"It's cold outside, you and your brother go farming."

Xiao An had accompanied her into the town twice. Today it was snowy and it was difficult to skate, so Song Liyun wouldn't let him go out.

Xiao An didn't force it, he just bit his lip and took off his rabbit fur scarf, tiptoed to put it on Song Liyun's neck, and whispered: "Morning, come back!"

"Well, Xiao An is so good. Are you reading the books I gave you?"

When Xiao An heard about the book, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded: "Look! It's beautiful!"

"Okay, sister will come back later and she will take a test on you!" Song Liyun said with a smile.

When Xiao An heard that the exam was about to take place, he bit his lip and ran away again.

Walking out of the yard, the wooden plow slid briskly on the snow.

She went out a little late today, thinking that the elderly had waited too long, so she went to the Elderly Hall first.

According to the agreement, Old Man Zhang and several others had been waiting by the roadside for a long time. When they saw Song Liyun coming, someone bowed and called her "Miss Song!"

There were also people carrying wooden pallets to greet us.

Song Liyun first took a pot of acorn tofu from his wooden plow and placed it on the old people's carriage.

Then he smiled at Old Man Zhang and said, "Old Man Zhang, I can only give you a bag of acorn flour today. I don't have much food at home. I will send you dry firewood tomorrow."

Old man Zhang held his hands in gratitude and said: "It doesn't matter, the girl has a kind heart and is already a great virtuous person."

During this time, the Song family not only sent food, but also acorn tofu and acorn noodles.

Although it's not much, it can already make their winter less difficult.

Someone took out three big bags with bulging contents from the side: "Miss Song, these are the acorns we peeled."

Looking at the bag, Song Liyun said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the acorns this time will be peeled in ten days?"

This is the job she arranged for the Elderly Hall.

Song Liyun knows very well that a bowl of rice breeds a benefactor, and a bucket of rice breeds an enemy.

The Song family gave Jinglao Tang acorns, tofu, firewood, and food for free.

Two months ago, the Song family was a desperate military household. They only knew how to make acorn tofu to earn money to buy food. There was no reason why they were so rich that they could support dozens of people in the nursing home.

When the acorn tofu arrived for the second time, Song Liyun asked Old Man Zhang and others if he could help peel the acorn shells.

There is no mechanical equipment for these. The acorn shells can only be opened by hand. You can handle a small amount by yourself, but definitely not if you have too much.

After just over a month of peeling, the fingers of the three Song siblings were already scarred.

She simply asked the people at the Elderly Hall if they were willing to help, and she could use grain and firewood as wages.

Old man Zhang and the others were idle. Seeing that they could get food and firewood just by doing these small things, they were naturally willing.

There is always a limit to what others give you for free. Give it when you are happy and don't give it when you are unhappy.

It’s better to eat something you earn lasts longer, and you can eat it more confidently.
