Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 24 The Chen family is so scheming
What to do with sour noodles.

Mei Qian also wanted to know this question.

Mei Qian has always been very aware of her cooking skills, but it seems that no one else in the family is aware of it.

[Xiaomei, isn’t this really delicious? 】

Mei Qian looked at the noodle that could faintly smell the sour taste even if she held it in her hand, feeling miserable in her heart.

Xiaomei: [If it’s cooked, it should be edible, but it definitely won’t taste good. I will refuse to host your upload exchange request. 】

What Xiaomei said is very clear:

You eat what you have, but please don't harm the exchangers in other planes.

Mei Qian held her forehead in distress, wondering if it was her imagination. She felt a little uncomfortable after being caught in a heavy rain.

As she was thinking this, she heard sniffling sounds from the side. The key was that there were quite a few sounds.

Mei Qian carefully observed the whole family, and it seemed that everyone in the family had some symptoms of cold.

In ancient times, people would disappear if they were not careful due to wind and cold.

If I don’t have a good meal today, my body won’t be able to handle it and I’ll have to lie down together tonight.

Mei Qian thought so, and secretly replaced the rancid flour in her hand with a pack of high-energy milk tea powder that she had exchanged before in the system.

Although it can't cure diseases, it can replenish energy in a short period of time. It is absolutely necessary for them to become weak due to being in a hurry and being caught in the rain today.

This high-energy milk tea is an absolute good thing at the moment. By the way, Mei Qian feels that she should teach her milk a "lesson".

Not only did she take out the high-energy milk tea powder, but she also poured the three drops of toilet water exchanged by the mixed-blood elves into the pot and started boiling it.

Because there is a lot of water in the Mei Qian, the rich flavor of the milk tea is diluted a lot.

In addition, the whole family's noses were blocked, so the fragrance of the milk tea was not noticeable for a while.

While making soup (cha), the symptoms of Lao Mei's family began to worsen, and even Mei Qian felt that her nose was becoming more and more blocked.

After the hot soup was distributed to everyone, everyone started to drink it without thinking. The first person to react to this drink was Han.
"Yeah! This noodle soup tastes quite delicious when you drink it!"

Before anyone else could agree, Mei Qian tilted her head and said:
"Is that so? Why does it feel sour when I drink it, and the taste is very ordinary. Auntie, have you caught a cold and your taste has changed? Just now you started to say that your nose was blocked and you were coughing."

Mei Qian said, smacking her lips in a serious manner, and asked: "Nai, is it true? Eating something doesn't taste right when you catch a cold?"

"Well, that's right."

After Mei Qian said this, Mrs. Mei also suspected that she had caught a cold and had a taste problem.

When everyone saw what Mrs. Mei had said, no one really doubted the special taste of Mei Qian's noodle soup for a while. Even Han surname swallowed his doubts, and then started smashing his mouth, whispering in a low voice. Happy saying:

"It would be great if my taste changed every time I encountered something unpleasant~"

In response, Mei Qian held the bowl and her mouth twitched.

Her aunt is really cruel. She can even curse her own body just because she stutters. She is so cruel~
As the high-energy milk tea was consumed, everyone's bodies gradually warmed up. The heat radiating from the inside out refreshed everyone in Lao Mei's family.

But as soon as the cold was dispelled from the body, someone’s stomach growled first, and then Lao Mei’s family started their own “detoxification” project in the wild.

"Isn't this because you have a bad stomach?"

Because Mei Qian was mentally prepared in advance, she was the first to finish and come back. She boiled a pot of hot water again and waited for the others to come back.

When everyone was almost back, she said the above sentence.

Hearing Mei Qian's words, Han said directly:

"Girl Qian, are you saying there is something wrong with the dinner you made?"

"Maybe, after all, the sour flour that the milk gave me is not edible." Mei Qian reminded herself that Mrs. Mei gave her the flour in the evening.

Mrs. Mei blushed. She didn't expect that the food she couldn't bear to waste would look like this.

"I'm lucky today. I just had diarrhea. What if something goes wrong accidentally later?"

Mei Qian understands Mrs. Mei's mentality of frugality, but some things are spoiled and cannot be eaten.

Before she traveled through time, she had seen a news story about an old lady who almost lost her entire village because of her frugality.

It just so happened that she took advantage of the detoxification function of toilet water and directly taught everyone a lesson about smoking without harm.

This is better than regretting it later if something goes wrong.

After hearing Mei Qian's words, Mrs. Mei's eyes naturally fell on the fire again.

There were lumps of dough that seemed to be lumpy, sour and sour due to moisture.

Mrs. Mei's eyes were full of struggle at this moment.

Seeing this, Mei Qian added fuel to the fire: "Our family's current situation cannot withstand illness or injury. If we really can't enter the city tomorrow, life outside will not be easy."

As soon as Mei Qian said this, let alone Mrs. Mei, Han listened and directly stepped forward and kicked the caked dough into the fire.

Seeing the situation, Mrs. Mei opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. In the end, it just turned into a sigh: "Oh, I live frugally every day and it was wasted by the rain without even catching a bite!" This food was wasted without being eaten. It's gone, just like cutting out the flesh of Mrs. Mei. Mrs. Mei also bluntly said that people have become squeamish in recent years. She said that she even ate dirt when she was fleeing the famine.

In response, Mei Qian could only silently give Mrs. Mei a thumbs up, and then silently vowed in her heart that she would not be reduced to eating dirt.

"By the way, where is Erhu?"

After speaking, Mrs. Mei looked at the large family and suddenly realized that someone was missing.

At this time, Mei Qian also noticed. They looked at Mei Shitou, who also shook his head. He was not with Mei Erhu when they were outside just now.

Just when everyone was about to go find Mei Erhu, they saw Mei Erhu coming back with a bad look.

As soon as he came back, before the whole family had time to ask him where he had been, they heard Mei Erhu say: "Just now, I happened to meet Manager Chen San on my way back, and he talked to me."

"What?"

"He asked our family if we wanted to continue walking with their family."

As soon as Mei Erhu said it, Mei Qian and Mrs. Mei were the first to understand the voice-over of Steward Chen San——

The Chen family is going to say goodbye to them here, and more specifically, they don't plan to take them into the city.

"Does he have a way to let our family enter the city?"

Mrs. Mei asked tentatively.

Mei Erhu nodded, but before the whole family could be happy, Mei Erhu said again: "Steward Chen San wants us to sign slave status and follow the Chen family into the city."

"what?!"

Mrs. Mei almost couldn't suppress her voice. She looked at Mei Erhu with wide eyes and said, "You haven't already agreed, right?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? You didn't agree. How dare I agree? I just said to think about it."

As Mei Erhu spoke, he kept looking at Mrs. Mei, whose face turned dark, and asked: "Mom, what do you think?"

"Don't even think about it. If you become a slave, your life and death will all belong to the master's family. From now on, you will be a slave and a maid. Are you crazy? What kind of slaves can you do if you leave good people alone?"

Naturally, Mei Qian would not agree to the other party's proposal. The Chen family's situation was no less than taking advantage of the situation.

However, they are not related to me, so if they really want to get in, it is impossible without paying a price, but the price proposed by the Chen family is too high.

"Manager Chen said, 'I would rather be a peace dog than a troubled person', and he also said that after they enter the city tomorrow, they will not leave the city again. If we regret it later, it will be difficult to enter the city."

Mei Erhu observed Mrs. Mei's expression as he spoke, and continued: "Manager Chen San also said that there will be more and more people outside the city, and it will be easy to cause trouble..."

After saying that, Mei Erhu saw that his mother had gradually calmed down from her initial anger.

"Tomorrow morning, we will set off too."

After Mrs. Mei finished speaking, the eyes of the family suddenly lit up.

They still remembered that Mrs. Mei said at the beginning that she still had a good idea of ​​how to proceed after arriving in Mingcheng.

Hearing what Mrs. Mei said, everyone's hearts instantly returned to their stomachs. Han smiled and supported Mrs. Mei, flattering her:

"Mom is still awesome, otherwise our family wouldn't know what to do~"

"Humph~"

Mrs. Mei really enjoyed the flattery of her eldest daughter-in-law. She slowly sat down and faced the somewhat distracted Mei Qian.

"What's wrong, Qian girl?"

"It's nothing, I just figured out some things."

Mei Qian stared at the boiling hot water and continued following Han's words just now: "Auntie is right, if we hadn't had someone as knowledgeable as our family, Chen San's management would have been so messed up by others. "

As soon as Mei Qian said these words, Mrs. Mei straightened herself up and looked at Mei Qian.

Mei Qianpi smiled and said, "I'm afraid there will be many people following the Chen family into the city early tomorrow morning, right?"

Only now did she understand why the people taken in by the Chen family were more mixed than other families.

It turns out that they were the ones that people were interested in from the beginning.

　The news about the old lady sending away the entire village was unbelievable when I read it before.

　　It is said that an old woman mixed the expired rat poison into the rice to poison the rats.

　　Later, because I couldn't bear to throw away the rice mixed with rat poison, I washed it and cooked it.

　　A pot of rice almost sent the whole family away, and my wife, who ate the most, was indeed sent away.

　　The old lady ate the least, recovered the earliest, and came back the fastest. She fed the poisonous rice to the chickens, and a lot of them died.

　　My old man was lying on the couch, just in time to invite the whole village to a feast.

　　During the banquet, a dead chicken was served to everyone, and finally the whole village went to the hospital...
