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

Chapter 41 Thinking about eating meat
"Brother and sister, why are you so...!"

Mrs. Han was shocked when she saw Mrs. Jiang suddenly drinking water!

She was outspoken and directly asked Mrs. Jiang how she could drink as much as she wanted when she was pregnant. After asking, she said angrily: "Even if you don't care about my face, you still have to care about your own body?"

Jiang: "..."

This last sentence is unnecessary.

"Come on, you're the only one who's suspicious! Look at the second son's house, and then look at you."

Mrs. Mei blocked her exit and said Han's "shameless" statement.

During this process, Mei Qian just stared at Jiang in a daze.

Jiang's feelings for her and her father were always like this, moisturizing things silently.

She doesn't talk much at ordinary times, but she always silently supports herself and her father in her own way at the most critical moments.

Before, I used to wear straw sandals and talk to others with a full belly. Now I take the initiative to drink water...

Mei Qian's eyes were a little red. She had a very vague concept of her mother. She just felt that if Jiang could always be so kind to her, how happy would that be?
The whole family has never been as persuasive as Jiang's belly, drinking unclean water.

Now everyone watched Mrs. Jiang drink the water and no longer hesitated. Even her eldest mother-in-law, Mrs. Han, just muttered twice and finally drank the water that she thought was unlucky.

The Mei family's decision about whether to drink water from the river this time really inspired Li Baizhou a lot.

Even though it's just a matter of something as trivial as whether to drink water or not, the reactions of all the Mei family members are worthy of repeated scrutiny.

And the final result was good. Everyone still chose to drink the writing water, including Li Baizhou.

When Li Baizhou drank water, his eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was thinking about something. It was not that Mei Qian didn't notice it.

But she didn't ask any more questions.

If she asked, she would find out from the other party that the reason why the other party fell into deep thought was because of the drinking incident in their family.

Mei Qian could only smile politely and praise, "Really? That's great to be able to help you!"

Then I must secretly say a few words in my heart, "This person's mind is like coal, he thinks about it all day long, and a drink of water can inspire him."

However, after everyone drank the water with nutrient solution, they both quenched their thirst and satiated themselves.

But after Li Baizhou finished drinking the water, he asked silently, "Have we not eaten all day?"

When he asked, Lao Mei's family fell silent again.

Mei Qian looked at Li Baizhou speechlessly. Mei Qian couldn't understand why this man was so obsessed with eating.

I have said it so many times before, eat when you are hungry, eat when you are hungry.

"Are you hungry?" Mei Qian couldn't help but ask.

"I……"

In fact, Li Baizhou was indeed a little hungry this evening.

Maybe it's because he just drank water, but he's not hungry now.

However, as we all know, how can a person be full just by drinking water?

Li Baizhou nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed hungry."

No wonder!
Mei Qian never doubted that the nutrient solution was malfunctioning.

After all, she herself had drank it more than once. Apart from the different taste, the effect was naturally superb, of course she knew.

Mei Qian glanced directly at the people in Lao Mei's family. Everyone who met Mei Qian's gaze shook their heads to express that they were not hungry.

This was good. When everyone's eyes came to Li Baizhou again, he was frightened by everyone.

"Are you really... not hungry?"

Li Baizhou also had some doubts about life.

"I'm not hungry."

The Mei family shook their heads very honestly.

Li Baizhou couldn't help but look down at his belly and touched it. Upon seeing this, Mei Qian asked again: "Are you really hungry?"

"Well... I'm not hungry yet."

This time he told the truth. Mei Qian just chuckled and didn't pursue it further.

"Let's talk about it later when you're hungry."

"Then if I'm hungry, will you really cook for me?"

"What do you mean?"

Mei Qian glanced at him and asked, "Shouldn't it be you? Are you cooking for yourself? We will provide food, so you can cook more when the time comes."

Mei Qian paused for about 2 seconds between the first and last half of her sentence.

When she said this, Li Baizhou felt relieved.

But he turned to look at the water ducks huddled together at the stern of the boat.

After these two days of hard work, these water ducks looked like they were almost out of breath.

So he quietly suggested: "How about turning back? I'll take care of these water ducks, right?"

It was windy and rainy these two days on the boat. It was exposed to the scorching sun. It looks like he won't live long. "

"Can you do this?"

Mei Qian was also energetic now, and she was even more happy when Li Baizhou nodded.

Previously, Mei Qian had been putting off doing it because she didn't know how to deal with this water duck. Now that someone can do it, Mei Qian thinks it's an opportunity.

This solved the embarrassment of her not being able to cook duck and gave her another opportunity to exchange delicious food.

Mei Qian: "Do you think this water duck tastes good when roasted?"

Li Baizhou: "It's very fragrant, but it may be a bit toothless. It would be better if it is stewed in soup."

Mei Qian: "I think it's better to bake it..."

Just seeing the two of them eating meat together, Mrs. Mei couldn't sit still for a while and said, "Why does this kid want to eat meat every time? He ate fish last meal, but he is thinking about ducks this time, huh?"

"Then you only have one meal for several days. How can you do it without eating something good?"

After Li Baizhou said this, Mei Qian almost stopped laughing.

"What?! Can't you live without eating something good?" Mrs. Mei frowned and refused to let go of the fact that both meals were meat.

They have plenty of food to eat right now. If they let go of the food, what about behind?

Too many good days can wear down one's will.

"No, look at that water duck. It's almost out of gas. It's a waste if you don't eat it."

Mei Qian interrupted at the right time and pointed at the pile of water ducks at the stern of the boat that were almost blinding. .

Mrs. Mei saw it, but she still said: "It's not enough to eat all this, and it's a waste of firewood. There isn't much firewood on the boat. Find a time to go ashore tomorrow to get some firewood."

Mrs. Mei finally relented, but even though she relaxed and acted like a duck, she still agreed to various conditions of Mrs. Mei.

For example, tomorrow we will go ashore to get firewood and catch some fish.

Li Baizhou agreed to the former without even thinking about it, but for the latter... Let alone Li Baizhou, Mei Qian was a little confused.

"You've caught fish, don't you want to eat fish?"

This is not much bigger than a quail, a water duck with a handful of bones, and a big fish that is plump and less fishy. Do you have any hesitation about what to eat?
Mei Qian's words for Li Baizhou naturally aroused Mrs. Mei's displeasure, but Mrs. Mei didn't hesitate. She pointed to the baskets Jiang had made and said, "Throw the fish you caught there and hang them by the side of the boat to soak in the water." Here, the fish cannot be lost and can still live.

Since we can’t raise this water duck to lay eggs, how about raising a few fish? "

Mei Qian: "..."

Li Baizhou: "..."

In the end, it became a very unequal condition of getting firewood and fish, so that tomorrow's duck would be able to eat water.

However, Mei Qian and the others fell into a big crisis when they went ashore to cut firewood and look for supplies the next day...

　Li Baizhou: Why do some people feel full just by drinking water?

　　Mei Qian: Wake up, you are.

　　Later generations talked about history: "The ancients boasted and drank a bowl of water for two days. Six people had ten kilograms of food for more than two months."
