Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Song Baoer was not happy at all during dinner. She ate simple food every day, and she wanted to eat dry rice and meat. She acted like a spoiled child to her parents and said she wanted to eat meat.

Old Man Song and Mrs. Liu felt sorry for Baoer because the harvest had been poor in the past few months and they hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Thinking about the money at home, Mrs. Liu hardened her heart and decided to take out ten cents to buy meat tomorrow.

When Zhu washed the pots and dishes in the kitchen and was about to go back to her room, Song Yiyue took out a piece of meat from her arms and gave it to her.

"Where are you from?" Zhu asked in a worried voice, looking around to see if there was anyone there.

"But I saw it caught from a rabbit hole outside this afternoon." I asked her to take it back and share it among the others.

Zhu did not ask where the remaining rabbit meat was. She just put the strips of meat in her arms, carefully returned to the room, stumbled into the bed in the dark, woke up her husband, unwrapped the leaves of the strips of meat in her arms, and found more than half a pound of rabbit meat. She took out a strip of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

After Song Laosan was woken up, a piece of rabbit meat was stuffed into his mouth. He bit it unconsciously and ate it into his stomach.

"Where did it come from?" Song Laosan looked at the meat in the woman's hand with great surprise.

She told him the reason and told him not to tell anyone else. She looked at her son Song Hai in the bed, woke him up carefully, held him in her arms, and took out a piece of rabbit meat for him to chew slowly.

Song Hai is young, but he knows that good things belong to you only when you eat them, otherwise they will be snatched away by his cousin.

The couple ate one strip of meat and wrapped up the rest to eat later.

Song Yiyue gave Eryue three pieces of rabbit meat in the room and asked her to eat them quickly and go to bed.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the meat. She put it directly into her mouth and finished it all in a short while. She licked her fingers with satisfaction.

I asked my elder sister in a low voice if I would be able to eat meat in the future.

"You can eat meat if you obey, but you can't tell your family."

Eryue nodded immediately and listened to her elder sister obediently, not telling anyone in the family, otherwise she would not get to eat any meat.

At dawn, he drank only a bowl of water and went out to dig wild vegetables. His grandmother scolded him for being a cheapskate because he would not take the initiative to pour water for his aunt.

Song Baoer disliked Song Yiyue a little, and was in a good mood when she saw her mother scolding her.

She acted coquettishly to Mrs. Liu and said she wanted to eat meat today because she hadn't seen shredded pork for a long time.

The old woman Zhimen said to Song Baoer with concern that she would definitely let her eat meat today.

He went into the room, took out ten cents, walked out of the house, and went to the pork shop run by a butcher in the next village to buy three taels of lean meat with a little oil. When he got home, he cut half of it to eat at noon, and marinated the other half with coarse salt and hid it in the old couple's room.

Song Yiyue went directly to a deeper place in the back mountain where few people went. He found a shady place, took out the steamed buns from the space and ate several of them with chili sauce before he was full.

She rested for a while before getting up and looking for mushrooms and wild vegetables. She put all the edible ones into the space for him.

If you come across any precious medicinal herbs or wild fruit trees, plant them in the black soil of space.

The herbs we encountered along the way were relatively common medicinal herbs, such as those for treating colds, fevers, and inflammations. Some of them were also specially grown on the black soil.

I picked a lot of edible mushrooms, dug up a lot of purslane, and found a small piece of wild celery.

I found a lot of ferns in the weeds, and picked the tenderest sprouts. They taste best when served cold.

Wild onions were found on a small hillside and transplanted into the space. Wild ginger was found in the rocks. It was very small and had a very strong spicy taste. It was especially suitable for keeping away the cold on cloudy and rainy days. A lot of its roots were transplanted into the black soil.

I found it was getting late, so I put most of the wild vegetables and mushrooms in the basket and put the rest into the warehouse in the space. I would make them into dried vegetables when I had time. It would be very convenient in times of famine. I could just pour boiling water over them and they would make a bowl of vegetable soup.

She returned home along the same route and put all the wild vegetables she picked in the kitchen. When Niu saw so many wild vegetables, she was in a good mood and told her to go back and have a rest and she would come to help later.

Seeing so many fresh wild vegetables in the kitchen, Mrs. Liu planned to stir-fry shredded pork with bracken and make a wild vegetable and mushroom soup so that Baoer could eat more.

Song Yiyue was lying on the bed, recalling the memories and plots left to her by the original owner. In a few months, the weather will be hot, the river will dry up, and the crops will be harvested. There are only two months to prepare supplies and escape the famine safely.

Without the golden finger, Song Baoer would not be able to survive the famine safely. There is no need to pay attention to her, as her fate is already doomed. As long as you don't provoke her, nothing will happen to her.

The parents were reluctant to take the initiative to divide the family property, mainly because they were afraid of being accused of being unfilial by outsiders, and also to reduce their labor service.

In order to allow her family to survive the famine safely, she could only chop wood and dig wild vegetables outside to store some food. Her space must not be exposed to her family, as human greed cannot stand the test.

At noon, Mrs. Liu took charge of the cooking. She asked her eldest daughter-in-law to prepare porridge and stir-fried pork with bracken. She simply added some soy sauce and salt, and made a special wild vegetable and mushroom soup with an egg in it.

When it was time to eat, everyone stared at the kitchen, hoping to eat more meat at noon.

When she asked her daughters-in-law to bring the food to the table, she took the rice spoon and prepared to distribute the rice. She looked at these people who were counting on her to distribute the rice with a happy mood, and her desire for control swelled at this moment.

I distributed thick porridge to the men in the family, and put a lot of shredded meat and fern in it.

When Bao'er came, she scooped out most of the egg drops from the wild vegetable and mushroom soup, put them into the porridge, added a lot of shredded meat, and placed a full bowl in front of her.

Song Baoer looked at the rest of the people proudly, especially the girls. It showed how much her parents doted on her, not letting her work, and keeping her fair skin.

Song Yiyue rolled her eyes as she lowered her head, thinking, "Will you still be like this when you escape from the famine?" I'm not sure yet.

By the time the granddaughters were done, there was only soup at the bottom of the bowl, with a few bracken leaves to give them a taste of meat. There was a little wild vegetable left in the wild vegetable and mushroom soup, which they shared with them.

Song Daya, the eldest wife, was particularly jealous of Song Baoer because she was able to eat well and have such good skin, but she did not dare to resist her grandmother who was in charge of the family finances, so she could only eat the wild vegetables in silence.

The sisters Song Xiaohe and Song Xiaotao from the second room drank the porridge silently, and before anyone could react, they directly put the remaining porridge with egg flowers into their own bowls.

Liu grabbed her daughter's bowl of soup with eggs and placed it in front of her son, asking him to drink it quickly. Song He drank it without even looking at his two sisters, wiped his mouth and threw the bowl to them.

Old Man Song and Mrs. Liu didn't care who ate the remaining distributed food. As long as no one snatched it from Baoer, they pretended not to hear or see anything.
