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

Chapter 73: Playing tricks

"I heard from Sister Li that the wasteland we share is best plowed before winter. When the weather is cold and snow falls, we can start planting crops next spring and there will be fewer weeds in the land."

Old man Yuan and his wife were sitting opposite each other under the lamp. Old lady Yuan was flipping through the account books. Old man Yuan was helping with the abacus. The two sons were also listening carefully to what their mother said.

"Okay, mother, I will go to the village tomorrow to inquire about hiring someone to dig up the wasteland."

The second son Yuan Jun immediately took up Mrs. Yuan's words. As a result, the old man Yuan, who was making calculations, suddenly raised his head and stared at his second son. Yuan Jun was startled when he saw his father's cold eyes.

Mrs. Yuan didn't seem to notice the quarrel between father and son, and continued: "Also, I heard from Sister Li's son that their family has opened a small piece of land for growing vegetables.

Yao Lin can still grow some vegetables in winter, so why don't we get some too.

In previous years, Brother Ye would always get sores on his mouth if he didn't eat some vegetables during the winter. It would be great if he could grow some at home. "

"Mom, since you can grow it here in winter, I guess the price is not as expensive as it was at home. I'll just buy some when the time comes and start a vegetable plot..."

Yuan Erlang had just been stared at, now it was Yuan Sanlang's turn.

It’s not his fault. The main reason is that people like them have never farmed before.
Hearing his mother say this, he subconsciously wanted to refute, but his father glared at him. Yuan Sanlang shrank his head, and then suggested:
"How about going to Yapo's place in a few days to buy some people and let them grow vegetables for the family?"

"When you buy someone back, do you not spend money or eat?"

Mrs. Yuan stopped looking at the account books. She closed the account books and glared at her two sons. She then said, "How much money did our family have left on the way from the capital? So many properties were lost in Jiangbei." , our family has fallen into the village, and you are still thinking about buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, etc., all of us are living in the village, ah?!
One or two of you are still doing business with others. Isn’t your business all these years just luck?

Do you know what prices are outside now?

When spring comes next year, the situation in Yao Lin will be completely stable. Then your father will have to go to Yao Lin to find connections. It will be another expense. Have you calculated it? "

"Dad, don't you have several students who have won the Jinshi and become officials? Dad, are the connections you went to Yao Lin looking for from your students?"

Yuan Erlang and Sanlang couldn't resist Mrs. Yuan's series of questions and answers, so they had to beg for mercy and change the topic.

In the end, it’s better not to change the topic!
When he mentioned his former student, Old Yuan, his face darkened a few shades. Those who didn't know thought that his former student had made him unhappy by bullying his master and destroying his ancestors.

result--

"Neither Ancai nor Qingyan crossed the river."

As soon as these words came out, Erlang and Sanlang of the Yuan family were like geese being strangled by the neck, and they immediately fell silent.

But Jiang, what good outcome could there be?
The room fell into silence for a while. Fortunately, after a while, as Mrs. Yuan continued to flip through the account books, and Mr. Yuan followed his wife's calculations, the atmosphere became better.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yuan's topic returned to the matter of their arrival here:
"We came out and found that we have no foundation here. People in this village say that we are rich people who have moved from other places, and they all want to take advantage of us!
When people buy vegetables, they pay two kilograms of vegetables for one yuan, but we get five yuan for one kilogram of vegetables. If you don't care about these things and just spend money here and there without restraint, you will be targeted sooner or later.

If someone really comes charging at that time, who in our family will be able to resist him? "

Mrs. Yuan had a straightforward temperament. She stared at the Xiao fathers in front of her, all of whom were gentle-looking sons. They didn't even raise their heads as they spoke.

"Mom, let's listen to what you say."

"Tomorrow you go to Mei's house with some things and ask about the vegetable field. You can also ask about the twenty acres of wasteland outside the village. Don't just stay at home doing nothing all day long.

Dalang also knows how to keep an eye on a few children studying. Look at you two, you can't be good at anything.

You two daughters-in-law know how to learn to cook, sew, etc. Instead of eating nothing at home, you might as well do something to stretch your muscles! "

When Old Mrs. Yuan said this, even Old Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but look at his old wife.

He is one of the idle people in the Yuan family, right?

···
Mei Qian and the others didn't know what happened at the Yuan family. When Mei Qian was soaking red beans in the evening, she told Cui'er about the fact that Mrs. Yuan asked their family to make Qiuli ointment.

Cui Er said that after Xiao Hui grinds the yellow rice tomorrow morning, she and Shitou will go out to Xiao Hui and stop by the town to buy pears and some herbs mixed with Qiuli ointment.

"Sister-in-law, have you made Qiuli ointment before?"

"Well... I made it for my father. I know all the recipes."

Mei Qian: "..."

Very good, no wonder her mother wants to help Tweety by herself.

"Just know the recipe."

Mei Qian nodded slightly, avoiding Cui'er's earnest gaze.

Mei Qian was certain that she would be unable to leave the kitchen in a short period of time.

"I see that Mrs. Tao brought a lot of honey. I guess the amount of Qiuli ointment she made is not good. We can keep the rest and drink it with water at home to moisten the lungs and reduce phlegm."

When Cui'er mentioned this, Mei Qian couldn't help but start thinking about Qiuli ointment. [Xiaomei, when the time comes to make the Qiuli paste, can you take it out of the pot while my sister-in-law is not paying attention~]

Although Xiaomei understood what Mei Qian meant, she still felt vicious in her description of Mei Qian.

Even if it is a system, it doesn't feel any pain, but did it hear it correctly?

Does the host let it be fished directly from the pot?

If he agrees to this easily, in the future his host will let him fish directly from whatever he is cooking!

Not to mention, Mei Qian had this idea.

Otherwise, every time the food would have to pass through her hands, Mei Qian felt guilty when someone noticed that something was suddenly missing.

Li Baizhou almost discovered it several times on the boat before. Li Baizhou even reminded Mei Qian in private that she shouldn't eat too fast as it would be bad for her stomach.

This made Mei Qian embarrassed for a long time.

[Host, this system has a distance limit even for retrieving objects from the air. You can't expect me to collect them wherever you point. You also have to be very close to the food. 】

【Understood~】

When Xiao Mei could do this, Mei Qian immediately relaxed.

It was dark the next day, and Mrs. Mei, as a senior citizen of Jue Shao, had already gotten up.

Mei Qian, who was sleeping lightly, was also awakened by Mrs. Mei's motion to get up. She stretched out and got up from the bed.

Going to the kitchen, Mei Qian mixed the red beans that had been soaked overnight and boiled them with water. Mei Qian also added water to the small pot on the side and boiled them together.

During the cooking time, Mei Qian started to wash up. After she cleaned herself up and the water was boiling, Mei Qian took some more red bean soup that had not yet been sanded out and put it in the earthenware pot. The millet is simmered in the hanging stove.

While Mei Qian was doing this, the small courtyard gradually became lively as everyone got up.

"If you go back to buy pears, remember to buy two fish."

I forgot to mention it last night, so early this morning before Cui'er and the others left, Mrs. Mei added another sentence.

Unlike the capital city, the water system here in Yao Lin is developed. There are many lakes and rivers around, and river fresh food is plentiful and cheap.

It’s just that the old lady He Xianmei doesn’t know how to do it_(3　∠)_
"I'll buy two pieces of tofu later."

In Mrs. Mei’s memory, tofu is indispensable for any delicious fish soup.

Mentioning this tofu, Mei Qian also thought of the more than ten kilograms of beans she bought from home, and now she still has more than half of them left.

Whether it's soy milk or tofu, Mei Qian has always wanted to try it, but she never got around to making it.

No, Mei Qian thought about it and said to Cui'er in private that she would buy some gypsum when she went back to the drugstore to make Qiuli plaster.

"Why did you buy this?"

Cui'er couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Of course it will be useful. Don't worry. When the time comes, you will tell me that I want to use it."

After all this time, Mrs. Mei is still quite indulgent towards Mei Qian's behavior.

After all, there are not many people in the family who can worry about it. Mei Qian and her mother Jiang, and the others, Mrs. Mei is more or less murmuring in her heart.

Mei Qian and the rest of the family still had a solid breakfast. Mrs. Mei said she would not eat lunch today because of the Mid-Autumn Festival and they had a hearty meal in the evening. Therefore, Mei Qian's breakfast could not only have red bean and millet porridge.

She also made cakes.

While making pancakes, Mei Qian had some weird thoughts and took out a fist-sized salt-and-pepper roasted potato and was eager to try it.

Mei Qian crushed the potatoes in a bowl and mixed them with whole wheat flour and strong-tasting wild vegetables picked from the river outside the village.

The taste of this wild vegetable is a bit like the cress of later generations. The taste is a bit washed out, but the effect is also very good. It immediately draws people's attention away from the changed texture and taste of the pancake.

The peculiar flavor, Mei Qian didn't find it easy to accept when she first took a bite, but the salt and pepper flavor in the potatoes was quite strong. The wild vegetables were roasted to a charred aroma, mixed with the aroma of salt and pepper, and the whole pancake tasted very chewy. .

The more you eat, the more you get addicted.

Therefore, before having breakfast, Mei Qian specially uploaded this unique breakfast set to the system and wrote a special promotional message——

#OMG! Why is there such delicious food? I can’t stop eating it! ! ! #
　Hahahahaha, Mei Qian: I know how to market~
　　Mysterious Exchanger: Every cause must have its effect, and your retribution is me~
