Black-bellied baby: mother, don't run away

Chapter 51 Mad Cow Village 2
"What are these things?" Cai'er frowned, pointing at the things Mrs. Chen brought up, and said with disgust.

There were two large rough bowls on the table. In the bowls were dark dishes that could not be named, and in the other bowls were pancakes, which were between yellow and black, making it easy to eat. Think of a excrement.

"I've said it a long time ago, I'm afraid you won't be used to the rough food that our ordinary people eat." Aunt Chen's face was a little embarrassed, and she was a little at a loss. "Girl, look, how about I go to the restaurant in the town and buy something to bring back for you to eat?" Probably felt a little sorry for taking the money.

As soon as I entered this village, I felt that the village was poor, but I didn't expect it to be so poor.Xiao Qingqing couldn't recognize what kind of dish it was, it should be some kind of wild vegetable.

He picked up a chopstick tentatively, and it turned out to be unpalatable as expected.

"I don't need to go to the restaurant anymore. I wonder if you still have any ingredients at home?" Considering that it would take a lot of time to go back and forth to the town, and they were already hungry, Xiao Qingwei decided to use local materials to see if there were any There is nothing to eat.

"We are an ordinary family, and there is nothing good in the kitchen. If this lady doesn't mind, you can go and see for yourself." Aunt Chen said with some embarrassment.She has already brought out the food that she is usually reluctant to eat to entertain this lady, how can there be anything better.She had already decided to return the gold coin that was still warm in her hand to the young lady.

"Okay." Xiao Qingwei followed Aunt Chen to the kitchen familiarly. The kitchen is small and there are few things, which can be seen at a glance.

There is not a grain of rice in the rice jar, there is a small bag of cornmeal, which should be less than half a catty, and a freshly pickled pickle... Looking through the entire kitchen, I can't even find a single egg.

"Ma'am, are you growing sweet potatoes in your yard?" Xiao asked softly.She remembered that sweet potato leaves were edible.

"It's sweet potatoes. Cotton is grown in decent fields, and it can't sell a few copper coins a year. It's not enough to eat. I have to plant some sweet potatoes in the yard to relieve it. But the sweet potatoes have not been planted for long, and they can't Eat." Aunt Chen said. "By the way, there are still some dried sweet potatoes, I'll get them to you."

Aunt Chen thought they wanted to eat dried sweet potatoes, so she went to the back of the small cabinet in the kitchen and took out the only handful of dried sweet potatoes left.It seems that here, this dried sweet potato is quite precious.

Seeing the dried sweet potatoes in Aunt Chen's hand, Cai'er frowned involuntarily.

This was completely different from the dried sweet potatoes they ate. It was dark and hard, and compared to the soft and delicious dried sweet potatoes bought at the market, it was a world apart.

"This is dried sweet potato, ma'am, don't be kidding me." Cai'er thought that there was no difference between grains and grains, and this dark thing couldn't be dried sweet potato no matter how you looked at it.

"Cai'er—" Xiao Weiwei winked at Cai'er, signaling her to stop talking.

"Ma'am, you can keep this dried sweet potato, we don't eat it either, I just want to pick some sweet potato leaves to eat." Xiao said softly.Just make some pancakes with cornmeal, and you should be able to eat a meal.

"Is that sweet potato leaf edible? I haven't seen anyone who has eaten this sweet potato leaf in these years. Don't eat it." Aunt Chen quickly stopped it. "You are a nobleman, don't eat those things, otherwise, I will go to the butcher's house in the village to cut some meat and cook it for my wife."

Aunt Chen, who has always been frugal, suddenly remembered that now that she has money, she can buy some meat and come back.I thought to myself that I was confused.This cannot be blamed on Mrs. Chen, because of poverty, she may not eat meat for a while all year round.

It turned out that there was a butcher in the village. Aunt Chen didn't mention it at first, so she thought there was no such thing. "Then that's great, I'll trouble Auntie." Saying that, Xiao Qingqing took another ten gold coins to Aunt Chen.

"Girl, the gold coins you just gave me can't be used anymore, so you can't give them to me anymore." Aunt Chen decided not to ask Xiao Qingqing's gold coins anymore, and went to the butcher's house to cut the meat.

"Little Baozi, go play in the yard by yourself, mother will cook something delicious for you, okay?" Little Baozi slept all the way, and now he has woken up.

"Mother, where have we been?" After Xiao Baozi woke up, he saw that the surrounding environment was very strange.

"This place is called Mad Cow Village. You can play in the yard, don't go out of the yard." This kind of small village has simple folk customs, so there shouldn't be any danger, Xiao Qingqing is also assured that the little bun can play in the yard by himself.

When Xiao Baozi saw the new environment, he wanted to go out and play a long time ago. Xiao Qingqing agreed to play in the courtyard by himself, and was very curious about everything.

Xiao gently pinched a handful of sweet potato tips (the tender sweet potato leaves), and told Cai'er to clean all the pots and pans.The most inconvenient thing in ancient times is to fetch water, and you have to pick it from a well.Rich families will find someone to dig a well in the yard, and richer families in the countryside will also find someone to dig a well.Apparently, the family that Xiao Qingwei lived in was not wealthy, there was no well in the yard, and if one wanted to get water, one had to go to the well at the head of the village.

Fortunately, this family is at the head of the village, and the well is next to theirs.As soon as he came, Xiao Qingqing saw it.Seeing that there was no water in the water tank, Xiao Qingqing asked Cai'er to fetch some water.It was already morning, and almost everyone in the village had gone to the fields, and Cai'er came back after a while.

Farmers are not particular about it, and there is no special person to clean the kitchen, which is covered with a layer of dust.Cai'er cleaned it carefully, and it felt completely new.

Maybe the butcher's house is far away, and Mrs. Chen hasn't come back yet.Xiao Qingqing asked Cai'er to help him, and after a while, he made some pancakes and a plate of green vegetables.

The smell of food wafted out from the kitchen, and Xiao Baozi came in smelling the smell.

"Mother, what delicious food did you cook?" Xiao Baozi played in the patio, his stomach was already empty, he could smell the aroma, and couldn't wait to eat.

"Wait a minute, be careful it's hot." Xiao said softly, took a pancake, broke it in half, and put it on the table to dry.

Aunt Chen has come back now, and there is a person behind her. I saw that the person's clothes were covered with dense oil stains, and even exuded an oily smell on his body. He must be a butcher. A piece of pork.

"Girl, I'll keep you waiting." It turned out that Mrs. Chen had money, and was afraid of neglecting her distinguished guests, so she simply bought half a pig. The meat can't be lifted.

Seeing that she couldn't take it, the butcher told her to wait a while, and then sent her back after all the butchers had left, which took a lot of time.

"Ma'am, where do you put this?" Butcher Wang looked at the spotless kitchen and stood at the door of the kitchen, a little afraid to go in.

"Oh, just give it to me." Cai'er cleverly took the pork. "Trouble the elder brother to send it here."
