All right! I'll eat you for lunch.
The civet was thrown to the ground by Fu Bao. Huang Nianmei blinked and calmly put the civet away and said, "This is a furry mouse. I ate it at noon today."
Fu Bao found some perilla and fragrant leaves nearby, and found a beehive. After a long time, when Fu Bao woke up, the civets had already been skinned.
Fu Bao took out the beehive hidden behind the tree, which scared Huang Nianmei so much that she shivered: "This... this is a bee's nest. Grandma, where did you get it from?"
Fu Bao smiled and said nothing, while Huang Nianmei stuffed fragrant leaves and perilla into the civet and started roasting it.
Following Fubao's advice, he also brushed a layer of honey on the outside. The smell made all the children lick their lips.
It was so fragrant that Brother Shitou couldn't help but said: "Brother... I want to eat meat..."
Shitou patted his head and said, "This is someone else's thing. You should work hard."
Huang Nianmei roasted it for an hour, then cut a thigh, slowly cut the meat, and cooled it for Fubao.
The other meats were separated, and all the children present had them. Several children devoured the meat, it was so delicious.
Xiaomei was given two large pieces of meat, and she ate it directly with a smile on her face. She didn't expect there to be such delicious food in this world.
Fu Bao carefully wrapped up the remaining meat and gave it to Mrs. Huang and Mr. Huang.
After Sanqi was finished, Fu Bao took them to another place and picked atractylodes.
Atractylodes can be used to treat dampness in the spleen and stomach, fatigue and sleepiness, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea, phlegm and fluid retention, dampness, superficial symptoms of dampness, severe pain in the head and body, warm paralysis syndrome, and severe soreness in the limbs and joints. Diseases such as flaccidity and night blindness.
It was quite useful. After collecting medicinal materials for a day, Huang Nianmei took them back home.
There were five large baskets of medicinal materials, and I didn't know if they could be sold for money. The other children were somewhat uneasy.
If they could sell it for money, their family wouldn't have to worry.
When Old Man Huang arrived home, he was stunned when he saw five large baskets: "Ouch! Why did you pick so many medicinal materials today?"
Old Mrs. Huang smiled and said: "Isn't Fu Bao capable? You and Lao Wu go to the drug store now to see if they accept it? It's best to exchange it for food."
Mrs. Huang lowered her voice and looked after her.
After dinner, Mrs. Huang was anxiously waiting for them with Fu Bao in her arms.
It wasn't until after 9 o'clock in the evening, when everyone was asleep, that the two men drove the bullock cart back. The cart was filled with eight bags of coarse grains, which made Mrs. Huang very happy.
"This drug store really has collected so much coarse grains? Let's take a walk and send them to the cave first." Old Mrs. Huang lowered her voice and couldn't help laughing.
There was still a long way to go from the cave, so Mrs. Huang asked Old Man Huang to carry 5 bags of coarse grains down. There were still 3 bags of coarse grains left, which would be divided among the children in the village.
"Our family now has more than 20 bags of coarse grains and 2 bags of fine grains, which is enough to last for a long time!" Mrs. Huang kissed Fu Bao hard and carried her back home.
Fubao couldn't help but feel happy that he could manage these grains for at least a year and a half.
Early the next morning, the children all walked to the door and were waiting for Huang Nianmei and the others.
Mrs. Huang directly called them in. In front of each of them was a bag of coarse grains.
Old Mrs. Huang said: "When you come and bring it back in the evening, you have to collect the herbs carefully. Once you collect the herbs, you will have more food."
A dozen children rubbed their eyes, as if they were dreaming.
Tears flowed from Xiaomei's eyes. Old Mrs. Huang said: "Xiaomei! Your food is stored in my house, and I don't want yours, just..."
"Nai, I don't want food. I come here to eat every day." Xiaomei said quickly.
Mrs. Huang nodded and said: "Good children, you must remember that no one is allowed to tell anyone, otherwise there will be no food."
Are you kidding, who is the fool? Naturally, I won’t talk about this.
Fu Bao lay on Huang Nianmei's body, it's better to have a brother!
Every day I have someone to carry me up the mountain, and someone to carry me down the mountain. I don’t have to dig out medicine myself. I can be a supervisor. How beautiful!
Today we picked parsnips and polygonatum, and several large baskets were filled. Today we ate roasted tits for lunch, and more than a dozen tits fell from the trees.
One roasted tit per person, the taste is quite good.
Seeing that his life was getting better and better, Old Man Huang pulled out five bags of grain in the evening and said, "It's broken. The owner of the drugstore said that we won't be able to replace grain in the future. Food is becoming increasingly scarce, and it hasn't rained yet. I’m afraid... this year won’t be very good.”
Mrs. Huang wiped her sweat, put the two bags of grain into the cave, and divided the last three bags of coarse grains between them.
This road was blocked again, and Fu Bao couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. If she dressed like the 1980s, she could buy some cloth, make clothes, and make a lot of money casually.
No matter how bad it is, Lin Yan is very good at selling fast food, so she can still make a lot of money.
But now in the 1960s, it is really miserable, so miserable that it makes people despair.
Fortunately, since she has been here for so long, the family has enough food, otherwise it would be terrifying to think about it.
In the evening, those families came over secretly to get food, and Old Mrs. Huang also let it slip and said, "Food will be even tighter soon. You must be mentally prepared. These food may be what you need to survive!"
Stone Girl suddenly fell to her knees: "Auntie, please save me. I will leave my food at your house, okay?"
She was afraid that Qian Xiu'e would take the food away when she took it home, and then the whole family would really have no way to survive.
Mrs. Huang nodded and said, "When your family needs it, come and get it, and I will save it for you."
This bag of coarse grains can save some food and can last for several months. For them, it is a life-saving straw.
After dividing the food, Mrs. Huang said with lingering fear: "I always feel very flustered. I'll ask the immortal..."
But Daxian ignored her this time, probably because he was not at home. The village chief came again in the evening, smoking a dry cigarette, and his whole face was full of worry.
Mrs. Huang walked out with Fu Bao in her arms. Fu Bao almost choked to death from the smell of dry tobacco.
Mrs. Huang quickly said: "Don't smoke dry cigarettes in my house. It smells so strong. Why did you come to me?"
The village chief quickly put out the dry pipe and sighed: "The brigade said that there was not enough rain this year, and they were afraid that there would be no food this year. They asked us to make preparations early, hahaha..."
His eyes were red: "How to prepare? What to prepare for, waiting to die?"
His expression at this moment was desperate. Old Mrs. Huang looked out the window and said:
"First, let every household prepare more water, just in case, just in case... there is a drought, and there will be no water.
Then it’s about thinking of ways to get food. It’s not about thinking of ways, it’s about trying every possible way to get food.
Wherever there are wild vegetables, as long as they are edible, they have to be gathered home. I am afraid that this will not end in one or two years. "
As soon as he said this, the village chief and village party secretary were all silent. They were fully prepared, but how to prepare?
