Exile at the beginning: farming with power space

Chapter 15 The batter of rice

Sure enough, not long after, two of the officials came out of the village head's house with burdens on their shoulders.

A hundred and eighty steps away, Qitian stared eagerly at the steaming wooden barrel and asked Meng Qingping, "Second Uncle, what can we eat today?"

When Meng Qingping thought of the food that could be prepared so quickly, he made a good guess. "Nine times out of ten it's corn batter."

Fu Xinci's eyes lit up when her grandfather said it was corn flour.Although the corn batter is not hungry, it is good for people who travel long distances in this hot weather.

After all, there is a lot of soup in the batter, which can add some water, which is much better than the hard and sour steamed buns.

The members of the Meng clan were also extremely happy, anyway, they finally had something to eat.I have done a lot of posture to watch the officials, and they will each get a bowl.

Only Mei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stared at Meng Xiaohe's direction with dark expressions and hated secretly.That dead girl is not here, and they are missing half a bowl of batter.

Qi He didn't care so much, when he saw an official coming over with a wooden barrel, he threw the Heitian seedling in his hand aside, and ran in the direction of the village chief's house.

When he came out of the village chief's house again, he ran towards them without looking back, holding a wooden basin in both hands.Jiang Touer followed behind him and called him worriedly: "You little brat, slow down, don't fall."

Seeing that Qi He didn't slow down, Jiang Tou'er had no choice but to explain to him with a smile: "My old man only said a joke, and you kid really took it seriously."

"Hey, thank you, Grandpa Jiang." Qi He replied, and his steps gradually slowed down, step by step towards the place where the grandparents of the Meng family stayed.

"You bastard." Seeing that Qi He had finally slowed down, Jiang Tou'er turned around and instructed the officials to bring the rest of the batter.

Seeing Grandpa Meng and the others looking at him, Qi He immediately showed a mouthful of small white teeth as if asking for credit: "Look, Grandpa Meng, I asked Brother Da Zhuang to ask for some corn batter today, which should be enough for Qishan and the others to eat." After Qi He finished speaking, he put the wooden basin on the ground in front of Grandpa Meng, and then quickly ran to the officer's place to get the wooden bowl.

The Qishan siblings looked at the steamy yellow corn batter in the wooden basin in front of the second uncle, and their eyes lit up immediately.

Especially Qi Ren, whose crystal saliva kept dripping down the corners of his mouth.If the second uncle said that the batter was too hot and forbade them to get close to the wooden basin, he would have been unable to control his small body and threw himself on the wooden basin.

Looking at the eyes of the little nephew, Meng Qingping knew that the children were very hungry.He didn't say much, just shook the wooden basin gently, just to cool the corn batter in the wooden basin faster.

On their side, the children were obedient, even if they could clearly hear the sound of "gurgling" in their stomachs, they all swallowed silently and did not move.

The situation on the side of the Meng clan is quite different. Even if the corn batter in the wooden barrel is hot and hot, you can feel the heat of the batter at a distance, those people don't care so much, they move their legs and feet together quickly come over.

Needless to say, everyone knows they are hungry!

Seeing the wolf-like gleam in the eyes of the members of the Meng clan, Guan Hu immediately yelled loudly: "Squat down for me, don't move! Otherwise, the knife in my hand is not a vegetarian."

"Dishonest, don't blame us for going in with white knives and coming out with red knives." Seeing his brother's change of face, Guan Bao echoed fiercely with his eyes wide open.

The few people in the front stopped walking as if they had just woken up after hearing Brother Guan Hu's words and the waist knives out of their sheaths in their hands.

A few people glanced at the ferocious official servant without a trace, and immediately knelt down in admiration.It's just the longing in the eyes, never missing an iota.

The Guan Hu brothers didn't dare to relax, and the two officials who had brought the battered corn didn't dare to be careless either.It wasn't until Jiang Touer came over with other officials that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, it's like his mother's starving ghost reincarnated when I eat someday." Guan Hu's heart sank, and he was in the mood to curse.

"Isn't it? It's like this every day." Guan Bao grumbled like his brother.

"Okay, everyone is ready, let's have dinner if there is no trouble." Jiang Tou'er also knew that these prisoners were hungry, so he didn't talk nonsense, and asked his policemen to share the batter with them.

On Fu Xinci's side, Meng Qingping had already poured batter into the wooden bowl.Yu'er is better, he ate a lot of snacks last night, and the tempting sweet taste has been recalled in his mind.

Qi Ren is no longer good, since he followed the adults on the road of exile, he hasn't had enough to eat.

Now seeing the solid batter in the wooden bowl, the growling in my stomach became even more joyful.

Meng Qingping also knew that the children's patience had reached the limit, so he handed the first wooden bowl to Qishan, which was almost dry.The second bowl was given to Qi He, and then the wooden bowl containing batter was handed over to Fu Xinci and his brother.

Seeing that he could finally eat the batter, Qi Ren held the wooden bowl with his elder brother's hand, sucked, sucked, took a few mouthfuls, and Qi Ren drank most of the bowl of batter.

When Qi Ren came to his senses, seeing that he had eaten so much batter, he immediately stopped talking, his eyes were red with self-blame.

"Brother, sister, I..." Qiren couldn't continue, he bowed his head in shame for his ignorance, and began to cry in a low voice.

"Little brother, don't cry, we have enough to eat. Look, there is still a lot in the bowl." Seeing that the younger brother was crying because of self-blame, Qi Shan couldn't help but comfort him.

"Yes, we have enough to eat." Qi Tian also followed his brother's words.

"Yes! My sister is not hungry, my sister is not hungry at all." As the elder sister, Meng Xiaohe took the younger brother into her arms and said softly while holding him.

"I…"

Regardless of Qi Ren's young age, he has already experienced the warmth and coldness of the world.At this moment, he knew that if he ate more, it meant that his brothers and sisters had to eat less.

I also thought that my father was not in good health, and my mother fell to the root of the disease when she gave birth to him.During this trip, his brother and sister carried him instead, but when he was eating, he forgot the hard work of his sister and brother. He really went too far.

Qi He didn't know that the little brother of the Meng family was blaming himself to death for half a bowl of batter, and he was just holding the wooden bowl to his mouth, and he swallowed all the batter in the bowl after three or two mouthfuls.

After he licked the noodle bowl clean, he realized that the four Meng family siblings were different.

Meng Qingping had noticed the actions of the four children a long time ago, and after secretly sighing, he saved half a bowl of batter and handed it over.

"Second Uncle." The four children called out in unison.During the exile, the second uncle was the only elder who showed kindness to them and gave them food.
