In the book, I was fed by my sister
Chapter 23 Chestnut Barley
"where have you been?"
As soon as Song Li stepped into the village, she was pulled back by Li Zi.
Song Li was too lazy to pay attention to the child. She remembered that her elder sister had said she would bring back watermelons before going to the city, so she hurried home.
"Why don't you talk to me? Okay! You go to the mountains secretly! I want to talk to Sister Ranran." After saying that, Li Zi ran forward.
"Hey!" Song Li reached out and grabbed Li Zi. Seeing the fat girl in front of her puffed up like a pufferfish, she slowed down her voice and said, "Come to me tomorrow morning. I will definitely go out and play with you."
"Humph, I'm not a three-year-old child! I'm four years old and I don't believe it. You didn't even play with me today! I'm angry!"
"Would you like some cake?" Seeing that the fat girl was not easy to coax, Song Li took out the remaining small piece of cake in her arms and tempted Li Zi, "There are bacon pieces in it, it's delicious."
Li Zi looked at the cake with envy. Although it was cold, it contained bacon particles. She knew it was delicious without even tasting it.
Seeing the fat girl swallowing saliva frantically, Song Li continued to tempt her, "My sister also bought some watermelons. Do you want to eat some? As long as you promise not to talk nonsense."
When Li Zi heard that there was water melon to eat, her eyes lit up. She took the cake and said, "I will listen to you in everything! I will never say anything nonsense!" After swearing, she pinched the small piece of cake together and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Mmm... it's... delicious. Your... sister's cooking skills are much better than mine."
"Come on, come home with me and eat watermelons."
As soon as Song Li got home, she saw her sister fishing watermelons out of the well.
When Song Ran saw Li Zi, he greeted her enthusiastically, "Li Zi, you're here too, come quickly! The watermelons have just been fished out of the well, they are cold."
"Thank you, Sister Ranran."
"Where did you go today?
"Right...right at the hall. Thank you, Sister Ranran, for the melon. I'm going home to eat." After saying this, Li Zi ran away. She would blush whenever she told a lie, and she was afraid that she would be exposed if she stayed any longer.
Song Li was eating a delicious watermelon when she heard some noise in the backyard and asked, "Sister, is there anything in the backyard?"
"Where are the chicks I bought? Not only chicks, but also ducks. They are all kept in the backyard. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Song Li came to the backyard and looked at the dozen or so chickens and ducks. She had already imagined what these ducks would look like when they grew up.
However, these chickens and ducks were not very energetic, so she input some supernatural power into the leaves.
It is good for human health if eaten, so it must be good for livestock as well.
When I came out from the backyard, I saw my sister scalding half a chicken repeatedly in boiling water and then in cold water.
"Sister, do you want to eat chicken tonight?"
"I'm going to make scallion and pepper chicken."
Grandma Gu hummed a little tune in front of the stove and raised her head and said, "The last time I ate it, it was your father who made it. I still remember the taste."
Song Ran repeatedly blanched the chicken in cold and boiling water, until the skin turned yellow and tightened. She put the whole chicken in the pot of boiling water, added ginger slices, scallions, and salt, and boiled it. When the water boiled again, she carefully skimmed off the foam on top.
While the chicken was cooking, Song Ran washed and chopped a small half bowl of soaked Sichuan peppercorns and a little Cornus officinalis. He then cut a handful of green onions and added them to the Sichuan peppercorns and chopped them again, sprinkling a little salt from time to time during the whole process.
Pour hot oil on the chopped green onions and peppers, and the aroma will instantly emerge.
Boil the chicken for 25 minutes, and then simmer for a while to let it soak up the flavor. Take out the chicken and let it cool. At this time, the bones still have a little blood, which is when the chicken is the most tender. Tear the cooled chicken by hand, scoop two spoons of freshly made scallion and sesame, add a spoonful of chicken soup and mix well. A green sesame chicken is ready.
Song Ran blanched some vegetable leaves in the chicken soup, and the two dishes for dinner were ready.
"Okay, time for dinner."
Grandma Gu got up from the firewood pile, washed her hands and came over.
On the table there was a dish of scallion and spicy chicken, a simple version of chicken and cabbage soup, and a plate of steamed eggplant, with a bowl of dipping sauce next to the eggplant.
Grandma Gu picked up a piece of chicken. The aroma of green onions and the numbing taste of Sichuan pepper whetted her appetite.
"I've tasted this at your father's place, and it's exactly the same."
The leaves blanched in chicken soup are fresh, elegant and fragrant.
Song Li ate so much that her belly was about to pop out.
After dinner, Song Li lay in the yard, feeling the gentle night breeze, and fell asleep after eating the last piece of water melon.
Early in the morning, before the morning mist had dissipated, Li Zi came to the Song family.
"Song Li! Song Li! Are you home?"
Song Li picked up a piece of cake and then picked up another piece.
"Little darling, remember to go home at lunch time." Song Ran instructed.
"Hmm." He couldn't answer as he was chewing something in his mouth, so he made a "hmm" sound in response.
After opening the door, Song Li handed over the cake.
Li Zi opened his mouth wide: "Such a big piece, is it all for me?"
"Where are we going today?" Li Zi broke off a small piece and put the rest in his pocket.
"Look at you, you're not going into the mountains today."
"Then I'll take you to meet my friend!"
Li Zi brought Song Li to a dilapidated house. The area around the house was overgrown with weeds. There were a lot of fruit trees planted in the yard, all of which extended beyond the wall.
Li Zi looked inside and shouted, "Da Mai!" Then he said to Song Li, "She is a fool. I hope you won't leave and can play with us for a while."
"Fool?"
"Yes, my mother said she was a fool, and Li Rongrong and the others also said she was a fool. But I thought she was pretty good. I gave her some food and she listened to me. The fruit on the tree was too high and I was too fat to climb up, so I let her pick it. She was so pitiful. Li Guan would beat her whenever he saw her in the village."
The gate opened and the person who walked out was not a fool, but a panicked man.
"Uncle Manpeng, why are you here? Are you here to play with Damai too?"
"Well, Li Zi, go in. Uncle is going to work."
Li Zi and Song Ran entered the room. There was a dazed woman sitting on the bed. She was no more than twenty years old. The sunlight shone on her face through the small window at the head of the bed. Perhaps because she did not work in the fields, her face was very fair and tender, like a pear in September.
"When the woman saw someone coming in, her black and white eyes were filled with a smile: "Li Zi, you finally came to play with me." Da Mai stood up from the bed.
The long dress covered her white legs, but failed to cover the fishy smell in the air.
"Da Mai, let me introduce you to my new friend. She is super powerful and can defeat Li Guan. From now on, you can go out and play with me."
"Friends? That's awesome!" Barley clapped his hands excitedly, "I gave you the chestnuts and new friends to eat. Someone just gave them to me."
Song Li took it and looked at the small piece of white rice cake in her hand. She didn't feel ashamed to exchange her body for food.
In the end times, it's not uncommon to do this just to survive. But she felt it was strange, shouldn't this place have the protection of parents and relatives? Why would this woman be like this?
"Where are her parents?"
"I don't know either." Li Zi ate like a little hamster and gave the pancake he had just put in his pocket to Da Mai. "Sister Song Li made this. It's delicious! Come and try it."
"Hmm! So delicious! It's the most delicious cake I've ever eaten!" Da Mai nodded happily while eating it.
The three of them were walking on the road, and when they met people coming and going, Da Mai would always unconsciously hunch his shoulders.
When they arrived at the hall, Da Mai's lack of security became even more serious. She actually hid behind Li Zi, who was only as high as her belly.
In the hall today, all the girls were driven away, and a group of boys were playing with sticks.
Li Guan came over with a stick in his hand, and when he saw Da Mai, he pointed the stick at her and said, "Stupid idiot! Didn't I tell you not to appear in front of me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Da Mai lowered his head, his shoulders trembling as he kept saying sorry.
"Li Guan! Do you think we are afraid of you? Song Li is my good friend now!"
"I failed last time. Are you coming to challenge me again, little dwarf?"
A dwarf? She? Song Li felt that this troublemaker in front of her really didn't know how high the heavens were.
"Your black eye hasn't gone away yet, are you sure?"
Li Guan looked at Song Li, who was a head shorter than him. Although he was not tall, his imposing manner did make him hesitate. However, he looked at his brothers behind him and said, "Come on!"
"Brother, come on, let's avenge our previous shame!"
Li Zi was not to be outdone: "Song Li, beat her down!"
Da Mai was infected by the atmosphere and joined the challenge: "Beat him! Beat him!"
Li Guan gathered all his strength and rushed towards Song Li.
In the early days of Song Li's supernatural powers, he had fought with many people. The outcome of the fight determined whether he could have enough food to eat and whether he could have a tomorrow.
She had plenty of skills and agility in fighting, so before Li Guan could react, he was thrown to the ground.
"Great!" Barley and Chestnut cheered.
Li Guan got up and wiped his snot and tears, "I will fight you."
Song Li raised her hand to grab his throat and kicked him in the knee. While he was lying on the ground and hadn't reacted, she used her knee to strangle Li Guan's neck, "Are you still going to fight?"
Li Guan was out of breath and his face turned red: "Spare... my life."
Song Li stood up and said, "Go away."
Li Guan ran away crying, and the remaining boys looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Do you guys want to fight too?"
Everyone waved their hands hastily, "Let's go play by the river!"
"Yeah yeah yeah, that's great!" Chestnut clapped happily, and Barley followed suit.
There were only three of them left in the whole hall. Song Li was lying on a big rock, Li Zi and Damai were playing hopscotch, white clouds were floating leisurely, and the morning passed quickly.
Song Li saw the smoke rising from the village and said, "Let's go home and eat."
"We'll come back to see you this afternoon."
When Song Li got home and saw the gate wide open, her heart seemed to skip a beat.
"Sister!" Song Li called out loudly but no one responded.
The firewood in the stove was half burned, and Song Li used his special ability to scan the area within a hundred meters.
There was no sign of Sister A or Granny Gu.
