Chapter 14: heartbeat (1/2)
Pei Xiu thought about it for a while, and didn't worry anymore. It's a big deal to send her to the town. Anyway, she has nothing to do with her.
After washing and drying the old clothes and quilts, Pei Xiu went back to cook again. Zhou Cheng took a few children up the mountain to check the traps. He made a few traps on the mountain, and he would go up the mountain to check it every few days, or he would go deep into the mountains for a few days when the farming was slack. He often brought back prey, but few children could rarely eat meat, and they were all taken by the original body. When she went to sell it, Zhou Cheng was helpless, knowing that she also wanted to save more money. Occasionally, he would take the children up the mountain and give the children a toothbrush.
I don't know when they will be back. The meat at home has been eaten up. It is best to bring something back. If not, she will have to buy a pair of pig water and bones in two days. After eating bone broth and pig water for a few days, she was willing to put oil in cooking, and the faces of several children looked much better, no longer sallow and sallow.
He still cooked porridge, fried pickles, fried cabbage, and picked a handful of chives and scrambled eggs. The pig's water and bones were all eaten, and there was no meat. Eggs are no longer for sale. Recently, several children are very active in catching bugs every day. The four hens lay eggs every day, and Pei Xiu keeps them for them to eat. Or hard-boiled eggs, and they make food for them in different ways every day, and they are more active in feeding the chickens.
After making breakfast, a few children came back in a hurry, like eggplants beaten by frost, and at a glance, they knew that they had not received the goods today.
Pei Xiu greeted them to come over for dinner, and said to them: ''After dinner, go to the river to find some shrimps, or small fish, and wrap them in flour at night and fry them for you to eat. ''
A few children were instantly excited and could not wait to hurry up, grab the porridge and run away after eating. The food has been good recently, and even scrambled eggs with leeks can't attract them.
Zhou Cheng said to Pei Xiu: ''Don't be too accustomed to them, eat whatever you want, as long as you're not hungry. ''
''I know, it's just that a few children are too thin, their faces are not good-looking, and the hair on the bench is sparse and yellow. Thinking about giving them supplements and eating something good, they are all growing, but don't lose your body. There are only cabbage, radishes and leeks left in the vegetable garden, and they won't be able to eat them for long. When winter comes, only pickles can be eaten, and now they can eat better. '' Pei Xiu had some thoughts in her heart, but she hasn't practiced it yet, so it's not good to say it now.
Zhou Cheng saw that Pei Xiu had a lot of information in his heart, but Pei Xiu had been saving for so many years, and the family still had some money. At that time, he will go to the deep mountains before winter to see if he can hunt some more prey.
''Would you like to go to town tomorrow? I want to buy another pair of pigs for water, and I also want bones. This thing is cheap, and it tastes good when cooked. Several children love it. If you have pig's trotters, buy two''. Pei Xiu likes to eat pig trotters stewed with soybeans. She has grown her own soybeans at home. She didn't buy pig's trotters last time. She hadn't eaten them for many days. She was also a little greedy.
''Um. Is there anything else to buy. ''
Pei Xiu thought about it, ''You can buy some leek seeds for me, as well as **** seeds. You can also buy some other seeds if you can. ''
Zhou Cheng said strangely, ''What are you buying seeds for now, it won't be long before winter begins, when it snows, the land will freeze into blocks, and nothing can be planted. ''
