There is no shortage of food on the way to escape famine, and Miss Luck is busy farming

Chapter 24 Egg Custard and Rice
When Qiao Dong heard what his sister said, he had no choice but to take the shoes.

He didn't know how much money his sister said he had. He just thought it was a few taels of silver given by the rich man who was rescued. Apart from buying food and these new shoes, he shouldn't have any more. How much is left.

He secretly swore that when he settled down, he would go to the city to find a job as soon as possible and work hard to save a lot of money for his sister so that she would not be bullied by her husband's family in the future.

Everyone in the family received a pair of new shoes, and they were happy and touched.

"Ranran, don't waste money on us like this in the future. What does it mean for us rough men to go this far? Anyway, the blisters will form scabs again after they break, and they will turn into calluses after they break a few times. We are all used to it. You Keep this money for yourself and buy more things for your daughter’s house.”

Qiao Erhe and the three brothers all advised their eldest niece not to spend money on these three rough men.

Qiao Ran said sincerely: "Second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, you are the backbone of the family now. You have worked the hardest along the way, so you deserve to wear a new pair of cloth shoes. Don't worry about money, I can get more in the future With the money back, the most important thing for us now is not to delay our journey. As for the rest, it won’t be too late to work hard to make money after we settle down."

Mrs. Qiao also spoke: "Ranran feels sorry for you. Just keep this feeling in your heart. You must protect Ranran in the future and don't let her be bullied by outsiders."

The three uncles and one aunt all nodded solemnly. They must protect such a good niece.

Several younger brothers and sisters also nodded fiercely.

They must also protect their eldest sister and prevent her from being bullied!

Qiao Ran took out the twenty-odd eggs and duck eggs she had "bought", as well as two kilograms of brown sugar.

"Third aunt has a baby in her belly. It's such a hard journey. Both third aunt and the baby have worked hard. From now on, let third aunt eat two eggs and drink some brown sugar water to replenish her body! Third aunt, you are too thin. I'm afraid of your stomach. The baby inside is not nutritious enough. If you eat well, you can make him fatter so that he can be raised easily in the future."

Lin Guizhen was almost moved to tears.

She also saw that this eldest niece was no longer stupid now, and was truly sincerely good to them, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces.

Tears flashed in her eyes, and she said touchedly: "Ranran, thank you for being so kind to Third Aunt. It's just that I don't have to work hard now. The carriage you got allows me to sit in the carriage every day, and I don't have to work so hard on the road. I can quickly You will be able to regain your health. It’s so hard for you to walk, so I’ll give you these eggs and brown sugar!”

Qiao Ran said: "Third aunt, please don't be polite. I'm as strong as a cow. Walking this small distance is nothing. You and the baby in my belly are more important."

Lin Guizhen wanted to say something more. Mrs. Qiao, who was watching the love scene from the side, said: "Okay, these are Ran Ran's wishes. Don't refuse. Just remember Ran Ran's kindness in your heart. Pay her back well."

Everyone had no choice but to swallow the words they wanted to say back into their stomachs, silently remembering Qiao Ran's kindness to them.

With the newly purchased grain, the people in Qingshui Village had a luxurious lunch, making dry rice for the first time in so many days.

The Qiao family is no exception. With so much food, oil and salt, they naturally have to give everyone a good meal.

Chen Huiniang cooked a large pot of white rice, luxuriously fried a plate of wild vegetables and a plate of sauerkraut in oil, and baked a pancake for everyone with cornmeal.

In addition, I beat two eggs and steamed a large bowl of custard.

Although there is no seasoning on the side, only a little oil and salt are added, and a few drops of soy sauce are added.

But such a smooth and tender bowl of custard is still very tempting.

The fragrant custard was placed in front of Lin Guizhen, which was all for her body.

How dare Lin Guizhen have the nerve to eat such a large bowl of custard by herself?Seeing the children drooling and peeking at the bowl of custard, she couldn't bear it anymore.

She first took her mother-in-law's bowl and scooped a large spoonful of custard into her mother-in-law's bowl with a small wooden spoon.

Mrs. Qiao quickly took her bowl back and said angrily: "This is Ranran's nutritional supplement for you and the fetus in your belly. Why are you giving it to me, an old woman? There is no need to waste it!"

Seeing her mother-in-law trying to put the custard back into her bowl, Lin Guizhen quickly stopped her.

"Mom, I can't eat so much by myself. You've worked hard along the way, so I should feed you."

After saying that, she put a spoonful of custard in the bowls of several children, and then took the bowls of Qiao Ran and Lin Huiniang.

Lin Huiniang hurriedly stopped her: "Okay, third aunt, you have less than half of the custard left. Share it with us. What will you eat? We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Hurry up and eat. , the custard won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

Lin Guizhen still insisted on putting a spoonful of custard into each of their two bowls, and only a small half of the custard was left in the bowl.

With everyone's insistence, Lin Guizhen picked up the bowl and ate the extremely delicious custard with tears in her eyes.

The little ones were no longer interested in the bread. They found the fragrant white rice with a spoonful of custard in front of them particularly tempting.

They didn't ask for bread, but held their rice bowls and ate deliciously, as if it was the most delicious delicacy in the world.

The aroma of Qiao's food spread to the surroundings with the wind, making everyone salivate when they smelled it. They suddenly felt that the newly bought food at home no longer smelled good.

Soon they were all surprised to find that not only Qiao's family, but also several other families' rice was also very fragrant.

Those aromas came from the families to whom Qiao Ran had given rice.

Those families were also very surprised. They felt that the rice in their bowls was sweeter than any rice they had ever eaten in their lives.

The round and distinct pieces of rice exude a sweet smell that makes you want to eat.

Even if there are no delicious dishes to serve, they can still finish three big bowls of pure white rice in one go!
They just thought it was a psychological effect of not eating rice for a long time. They all ate their rice while thanking Qiao's family for their generosity.

But the people around are different. It's the same rice. They smell the rice in their bowls, but why isn't it as fragrant as the rice wafting in the air?
Is it possible that this rice can be divided into three, six or nine grades?
Qiao Ran went to a wealthy family to buy it. Could it be that it was fragrant rice that only wealthy families could afford?
Everyone was confused about the aroma of the rice, but Qiao Ran didn't notice it at all.

She was used to eating home-grown fragrant rice, so she didn't think it was anything new.

With that spoonful of egg custard, the plate of fried wild vegetables, and the plate of sauerkraut, although he was full, Qiao Ren still felt a little aggrieved.

She wants to eat meat!She wants to eat delicious meat!
She wants to eat tender steak!She wants to eat crispy pork ribs!She wants to eat steamed sea bass!She wants to eat braised prawns! …

There were so many things she wanted to eat, and they were all in her space, but in front of her there were only a plate of wild vegetables with a bitter taste, and a plate of pickled sauerkraut that only had a sour taste.

When can I eat a meal of meat openly?
