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

Chapter 5 Think of a new way

Suddenly the whole family's attention turned to themselves.

Mei Qian has a feeling of being distracted during a meeting, suddenly being called upon by the leader, and then being watched by all her colleagues.

"Just... get some more food? It's a long journey to the south. After all, we have to have food to be confident."

Mei Qian didn't have any other better suggestions for a while.

As soon as she came here, she was faced with fleeing.

Mei Qian has no experience in this area, and she doesn't know what will happen next. It's not easy to protect herself first.

Secondly, the only bargain her system can bring is food, so Mei Qian naturally wants to maximize the use of this system.

But after finishing her thoughts, Mei Qian's thoughts changed, and she looked at Mrs. Mei and asked: "Nai, you didn't say that you couldn't enter the city just now. Is there... any other way?"

In response to Mei Qian's alertness and alertness, Mrs. Mei looked at Mei Qian even more kindly.

Hearing Mei Qian ask this, everyone else looked at Mrs. Mei, but Mrs. Mei didn't say anything immediately this time.

Mrs. Mei only said: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, so that no one of you on the road can tell anyone who has nothing to say."

There were still many days before they left for Mingcheng. There were many people on the road and Mrs. Mei didn't think she was smart. She just had the advantage of living longer and having more experience.

The matter of crossing Mingcheng to the south may be discovered by interested people in a few days and spread. By then, who among so many people will not know how to inquire about the news?

Mrs. Mei was really worried that everyone in the family knew about this, lest she be coaxed into telling the truth by some thoughtful people.

When they heard that Mrs. Mei didn't want to say anything, everyone in the family was upset because of her, which made them feel uncomfortable.

Mei Qian noticed the confidence in Mrs. Mei's tone when she said the last part, and thought that she was somewhat sure about her breast.

Seeing that someone was taking care of this, Mei Qian, who was already a little sleepy, felt relieved. The sleepiness came back again, so she snuggled up to Mrs. Jiang and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang gently covered Mei Qian with a little more of the thin blanket they were covering together.

···
"It's weird, I'm not hungry yet."

At dawn, the refugee army began to move again, and everyone did not stop to rest until noon.

Mei Qian was still boiling water when she heard her aunt say this.

"I'm not hungry either."

Mei Erhu also feels this way.

As a representative of a middle-aged and poor old man, Mei Shitou also agreed when he heard it: "Me too, I'm not hungry at all now."

It didn't matter if only one person in the family said that. So many people said they were not hungry. Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Jiang listened carefully and felt it carefully, and were surprised to find that this was really the case.

They had been on their way this morning and hadn't eaten anything yet.

"Second sister, what about you? Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry."

Mei Qian also shook her head. Seeing that everyone in the family seemed curious about the new world, she knew it was the compressed biscuits.

"Maybe you ate too much last night?" At this time, Mei Erhu suddenly mentioned Mei Qian's meal last night and said, "Girl Qian, the meal yesterday was delicious and plentiful."

"Then I think it's good if you have a full meal and don't have to eat for several meals. Otherwise, will this be the case from now on?"

The eldest aunt was also very satisfied with last night's dinner. She believed what her second uncle said and even suggested that Mei Qian do the same in the future. Isn't it better to be full after one meal and still not hungry after several meals than to spread it out evenly and have clear soup with little water in each meal?
On the other hand, Mrs. Mei muttered a little doubtfully. If she is full after this meal, can she do it without eating many more meals in the future?

However, in ancient times, no one did any scientific research to combat counterfeiting, and no one could answer Mrs. Mei’s doubts.

And the real experience of the whole family is here, so no one objected to Mei Qian's statement that she cooked a full meal for the whole family and kept them from being hungry for several meals.

They believed it, but Mei Qian felt guilty!

After all, compressed biscuits cannot be exchanged every time. Just in case, Mei Qian added in advance:
"Let's try to be as full as possible every time. When we feel hungry, we will wait until the next meal time to cook."

We don’t have to say that one meal counts for several meals. If we are hungry, we will cook and eat. If we are not hungry, we will not eat.

This proposal was naturally approved by everyone.

Unexpectedly, this meal of two packets of compressed biscuit powder, mixed with a little whole wheat flour and wild vegetables cooked into a paste, actually made the family feel hungry on the morning of the third day.

In other words, after eating that meal, they were in charge of their whole family for a day and a night!
What kind of feast is this?
This astonishing discovery made Mrs. Mei wonder if her family members were already too hungry, so she didn't feel anything at all.

However, everyone was still full of energy and energy despite being in such a hurry yesterday. They were not dizzy or even weak because of not being able to eat for a long time.

Just because they don't eat doesn't mean that Mei Qian and her family don't do other things during their break.

Just like what Mei Qian said that night, having food in hand always gives you confidence.

The pile of refugees who fled were also divided into different levels. For example, their family had a donkey carrying their family's belongings. Among the refugees, those who had a small amount of money belonged to the group with a small family fortune. The people around them were almost all like their family.

But the refugees on the outermost side of the refugee pile are already unable to eat.

"I can't dig any wild vegetables these days."

Han threw the bag in front of Mei Qian that could be seen at a glance. Mei Qian took a look at the few thin and shriveled wild vegetables inside, and her expression became worse.

In the past few days, they have also discovered that there are fewer and fewer things to eat in the fields.

In the past two days, the proportion of wild vegetables in Mei Qian's wild vegetable paste has become smaller and smaller. Although it can still be put into the trading platform, the amount of compressed biscuits in exchange has also become smaller.

So far, Mei Qian is still three trading opportunities short of reaching ten.

And for so many transactions, except for the first interstellar exchanger, the others are all the apocalyptic exchangers.

Gradually, Mei Qian also discovered that the apocalyptic exchanger loved the wild vegetables here in Mei Qian.

So these days, Mei Qian has been encouraging her aunt to dig wild vegetables together.

But these wild vegetables are becoming more and more difficult to dig, even the wild vegetables that are too old to chew are gone.

Looking at the batter that was mixed in advance today, Mei Qian felt that the quality of the scattered wild vegetables boiled into the pot would probably not attract the apocalyptic exchanger.

Since she can't attract the apocalyptic exchangers, it's time for her to change her target!

Mei Qian thought so, and then put the pot on the fire to heat it up.

This time, no water was added to it. Mei Qian poured the prepared batter directly into the pot, making a squeaking sound.

Mei Qian evenly spread the batter on the pot, and slid a circle of water along the edge of the pot. Mei Qian then put the lid on the pot, and deliberately turned down the fire underneath.

Soon, a burning aroma from the grains wafted out from the pot. The moment Mei Qian opened the lid, she sprinkled the chopped wild vegetables and a little salt directly on top of the pancake...

　The new exchangers are on their way, and the old exchangers are still looking for food in Aba Aba.

　　Thanks to little baby Ran Yueyue for giving me a flower~
