Chapter 84: Ideas about Douhua

[Host, do you still remember the steaming brown sugar soy milk on the stove in the early morning? 】

She happily received a half-ripe persimmon from Mrs. Mei. When Mei Qian was sitting on the threshold of the main room and tasting it, she heard a voice from Xiaomei complaining.

Her tone made Mei Qian suspect that Xiaomei had seen something strange behind her back.

[No, how could I forget? Don't worry. 】

Mei Qian perfunctoryly treated Xiaomei, finished eating the soft and glutinous persimmon, and then let out a sigh of satisfaction.

[Anyway, there should be another portion of Douhua Fish to be uploaded and exchanged together today, so don’t rush me~]

The morning bean curd and plum blossoms have been packed out, and they are waiting to be stewed together with the fish bought yesterday behind the house.

After saying that, Mei Qian looked up at the fish hanging under the eaves of the corridor, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

This kind of life where you eat a meal and think about it again~ Mei Qian didn’t even dare to think about it a few months ago!
"I'm going to die. Why do I eat food so fast?"

Just as Mei Qian was feeling that life was good, Mrs. Mei started cursing in her bedroom-cum-warehouse.

Mei Qian sat at the door of the hall and listened.

"Why is it that when I come to Yao Lin's place, everyone in my family is like a pig spirit. They eat every day, every meal, and get hungry when the time comes. Who is this?"

Mei Qian: "..."

Why did Mei Qian's curse words sound so weird to her?
Mei Qian had forgotten that it was the compressed biscuit powder and nutrient solution she used to give her milk that created the illusion that one meal every two days was enough.

"It's so annoying! I have to go to the town to buy food tomorrow."

Mrs. Mei walked out of the house angrily and met Mei Qian who was sitting on the threshold with sharp eyes.

Mei Qian: 0.0?

“Cook less next time!”

After saying that, Mrs. Mei raised her feet and was about to go out. Mei Qian couldn't help shouting at her back: "Milk! So are we still eating fish today?"

"Eat! What if it gets spoiled?"

When Mrs. Mei said this, she was angry and angry, as if someone owed her money. Later, during dinner, everyone in the family also discovered this problem.

After all, her mother would not attack the whole family indiscriminately like this, especially the two adult men who had relatively big appetites. She was directly labeled as a loser by her mother.

Mei Rice Rice Tong No. 1 Second Uncle:?

Mei·Rice Bucket No. 2·Shitou:?

"Look at how sensible this little girl is, she knows to eat less!"

The uncle and nephew looked at the two pieces of yellow rice and bean buns in their bowls, and then looked at Mei Qian, who had been drinking soup and eating tofu curds and fish from the beginning to the end.

Mei Qian: "..."

Mei Qian, who doesn't really like sticky and glutinous staple food, didn't expect that she would be picked out by her mother to set an example even after eating.

"Tomorrow, Shitou will accompany me to the town to buy some food."

Seeing that she had praised Mei Qian, but no one at home said anything to her, Mrs. Mei became even more unhappy and said directly, "We are running out of food!"

Oh ~
Everyone suddenly realized that there was a reason!

The key thing is that Han didn't open the pot and pick up the pot, and said: "Don't we have a lot of food? We didn't finish all the food during the escape. I remember there was a lot left after crossing the river."

"What? Is it because I ate it?"

Mrs. Mei glared at Mr. Han, who immediately shook his head and stopped answering.

Mei Erhu said to Mrs. Mei, "Mom, I forgot to tell you that I plan to go hunting in the mountains behind this village with Shitou in two days."

When Mrs. Mei heard this, the unhappy expression on her face disappeared a little, but she didn't disappear completely. Instead, she asked with a little uncertainty: "Is this mountain safe?"

"It's okay. To be on the safe side, Shitou and I had always set up a trap near the foot of the mountain.
I had caught rabbits and pheasants before, and I had carefully looked around the traps, but I didn't see any traces of large beasts.

Later, didn't I go to the village chief and ask him? There aren't any big wild animals in the mountains behind us. We just need to be careful not to get bitten by wild boars. "When we were in the north, things in the mountains were much more dangerous than here. Mei Erhu didn't laugh when he heard the village chief say that the most ferocious beast in the mountains here was the wild boar.

"I plan to go into the mountains with Shitou while the weather is still warm and bring down a wild boar."

Mei Qian also found a lot of memories about Mei Erhu hunting in her original memory. Mei Qian didn't know the specific skills of her father, but when she was a child, Mei Qian remembered that her father had even hunted wild beasts.

In the next few years, he would take plum stones into the mountains and teach hunting skills.

Their uncles and nephews went into the mountains for as little as three or two days, or as long as seven or eight days.

Every time I come back, the harvest is not small. The uncle and nephew look after each other and nothing happens.

"In addition to wild boar, if you can hunt for good skin like fox, you can sell it for a good price when you come back."

Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou talked more and more, and the expression on Mrs. Mei's face gradually softened.

Although Mrs. Mei still has a lot of money in her hands, this money is used to save lives at critical moments. She cannot just waste it on her family.

After that, she asked Mei Qian to take some time in the past two days to make some dry food for Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou.

Cui'er was worried at first when Mrs. Mei and the others talked about hunting, but soon she saw that her family didn't seem as nervous about it as she was, so she didn't show it.

It wasn't until after the meal that she talked to Mei Qian about what was going on.

After receiving the extraordinary skills of Mei Shitou and Mei Erhu, Cui'er was slightly relieved.

"When my father and the others come out of the mountain this time, they will probably know what is going on in the mountain. If you are curious, sister-in-law, ask your eldest brother to take us for a walk at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside~
Sister-in-law, you have medical skills and you know herbal medicine. Maybe you can find some wild herbs in the mountains. You can use them yourself, or sister-in-law, you can sell them~"

After Mei Qian said this, Cui'er turned from worrying about Mei's stone to imagining her future trips to the mountains.

After a while during lunch break, Mrs. Mei called Mei Qian into the room to talk.

As soon as Mrs. Mei entered, she asked Mei Qian about Douhua.

This moment has finally arrived.

At the end of the day, Mrs. Mei finally remembered this matter.

Even if she used Old Man Mei as an excuse and said that she was making it for Old Mrs. Mei to eat, she thought about it sooner or later because of how hard she thought about it every day.

Mei Qian pretended to be surprised and asked: "Nai, do you want to sell Douhua?"

Mrs. Mei crossed her legs on the bed and nodded:
"I had a bowl of sweet food this morning, and at noon you boiled the tofu pudding in the fish soup. The salty taste is also good.

Although it is not very filling, if you eat this in the morning, it will be very useful. "

"Milk, are you planning to make breakfast?"

"Yeah." Mrs. Mei didn't hide anything.

Upon seeing this, Mei Qian said: "Nai, this tofu curd is actually similar to the principle of making tofu, but it is a little tenderer than tofu.

If this is a business, I'm afraid it won't last long. "

Mei Qian did not directly deny the idea of ​​​​her milk. She slightly reminded Mrs. Mei that this business would not last long.

If she wants to take advantage of the popularity and make money for everyone to eat fresh food, she will withdraw when other people's tofu puddings come out one after another.

If this was the case, Mei Qian would be able to do something with Mrs. Mei.

But if her mother planned to use this tofu pudding to start a family heirloom business, Mei Qian was prepared to dispel Mrs. Mei's idea.

"Then - what if our family changes the name of this tofu pudding, delays the emergence of other brands on the market, and takes the opportunity to make a fortune first. How about we close the stall when someone really figures it out?"

Mei Qian was really happy to hear Mrs. Mei's words. Mei Qian immediately smiled: "Of course, I can change my name. I'm good at that~"

 Mei Qian: Hey~ Isn’t it just about choosing a name? I know how to do it!

  Xiaomei: [Name the victim + N]

  A certain male protagonist: Let me out, let me out!
  Author: ...just wait
