Adorable Food Goddess Chapter 29: Tighten the belt of your pants
The Broken Dragon Stone was opened, and Heifenggang began to plunder on a large scale. On the first day, two teams were sent down the mountain, and the harvest was minimal, because it was not the season for harvesting crops. The next day, seven teams were dispatched to more distant villages and towns to search for food, grass and property. However, by the evening the seven teams returned to only four teams, and they returned empty-handed. They were all in a state of embarrassment. It is said that there is a new spirit with the officers and soldiers. The people from the team are handed over, and there is no news about the other three teams.
The senior officials of the cottage immediately called an emergency meeting, and even the second boss who was still recuperating also attended.
Aunt Jiang came to help wash the clothes, with a rare solemn expression.
"Aunt Wu’s man is gone. The crying is a miserable one. If it weren’t for us to pull it, she would have been hit to death." Aunt Jiang sighed and exclaimed. Although she and Aunt Wu didn’t deal with each other, they are already It's so miserable, I won't mention those little grudges.
"Uh...Didn't the Aunt Wu men's team come back? How do you know that there are no more people?" Ye Jiayao knew that many people had died this time, but the detailed list seems to have not yet come out.
"The brothers from Panlongling just sent back more than 20 corpses, saying that the people from Xinyi Town threw the corpses at the bottom of the ridge and left. Aunt Wu's man was almost split in half..." Aunt Jiang couldn't help nausea thinking of the terrible scene.
Ye Jiayao shuddered. Since she came up the mountain, although there have been times when she was aggrieved, in general, she had a good life. She was not in a hurry to escape, she always felt that there was still a lot of time to plan slowly and look for opportunities slowly. However, this sudden change made her feel a strong crisis.
She is not sure whether the officers and soldiers will listen to her explanation after breaking through the cottage. Even if they do, no one believes it. Chunyu’s analysis is right. If the news of her being hijacked by Black Wind Post spreads out, the damage will be Ye Wei. The reputation of the two families, therefore, the Ye Wei family will definitely conceal the news and find ways to remedy it. Therefore, she said she was Miss Ye family, the daughter-in-law of Wei family, no one would believe her. Her identity will only be the wife of the third head of Heifenggang.
"I see, this time we have a copycat." Aunt Jiang couldn't help shaking his head.
"Aunt Jiang, if the cottage is breached, do you think we can survive?" Ye Jiayao asked worriedly.
Aunt Jiang smiled bitterly: "If the officers and soldiers attacked, we women might still survive, but if the Xinyi people attacked, it would be hard to say, their people are worse than the people in our village! But...like For a beautiful and young girl like the third wife, they may be merciful, like my bad old lady, who is not as good as cutting melons and vegetables, and their eyes will not blink."
Ye Jiayao can't even smile a bitter smile. Even if she can survive, she is probably reduced to another bandit woman! It's better to follow Chunyu! At least Chunyu Chang is handsome, invincible, and pleasing to the eyes, and Chunyu is sometimes very gentle and caring, like these two nights, he helped her cover her belly, one cover is all night, no matter what sleeping position she changes, his hands Always clutching her belly.
Comparing heart to heart, she thinks that she is in a different place, she may not be able to do it.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, I believe that the big boss will have a way, no matter how bad, there is a third boss, he will protect us." Ye Jiayao said with no confidence.
was talking, Chunyu and the others came back.
"Three masters, then I will set off after a little preparation." Peng Wu clasped his fist.
Xia Chunyu nodded solemnly: "Be careful yourself."
Ye Jiayao followed Chunyu into the house.
"Where is Peng Wu going?"
"Go down the mountain." Xia Chunyu said concisely, leading to the study, and took out the map to spread out to study.
"Go down the mountain so late? Isn't there still an ambush under the mountain?" Ye Jiayao asked concerned.
Xia Chunyu glared at her impatiently: "Can you not disturb me?"
Ye Jiayao snorted angrily and turned to find Song Qi.
Song Qizheng sent Peng Wu out and gave Peng Wu his short knife: "This dagger is handed down from my family. It is so sharp that you can see the blood seal your throat. Take it and return it to me."
Peng put five daggers in his waist and patted Song Qi on the shoulder: "Thanks, brother."
Ye Jiayao also stepped forward and told: "Peng Wu, be careful, if you can't beat it, just run."
Peng Wu smiled: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, I just take a few brothers down the mountain to check the situation, and try not to fight with others."
sent away Peng Wu, Ye Jiayao asked Song Qi: "Is the situation very bad?"
Song Qi scratched his scalp: "It’s a bit of a hassle. The officials and Xinyi people seem to have been stationed down the mountain. As soon as the nearby villagers saw our people, they ran to inform them. If we can’t get food, we will have to I’m stuck on the mountain."
Ye Jiayao's heart sank, it was really troublesome.
This night, Chunyu and Song Qi patrolled everywhere and strengthened their defenses. Chunyu did not come back to sleep until the latter half of the night.
The crisis is coming, Ye Jiayao feels that her physical discomfort has disappeared. She woke up early the next day and went to the kitchen to pick up ingredients.
Today’s ration is less than yesterday’s. There are only two catties of rice, one catty of noodles, one lotus root, two loofahs, and three eggs. Ye Jiayao knows that the supplies are tight now, but they are not too nervous to drink porridge. Right? Is Lao Yutou mistaken? There are several people in her house!
Old Yutou said: "The two eggs are for the second boss. The boss has ordered. From now on, except for the second boss who recovers, the rest of the people, including himself, will have their food cut in half. Everyone must tighten their pants. Living with a belt."
But the belt of the pants was too tight all of a sudden, Ye Jiayao had no choice but to take the ration back to the small courtyard and start to stew porridge. With such a small amount of rice, he could only drink porridge. The flour is added to the old noodles to make a few steamed buns.
Fortunately, Uncle Jiang sent the moldy tofu made by Aunt Jiang. Song Qi and Chunyu each had a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and a breakfast would be enough.
I thought that Chunyu would be uncomfortable with eating, but Chunyu had no reaction at all. When she saw Ye Jiayao drinking porridge and not eating steamed buns, she asked: "How many steamed buns did you make? Why don't you eat them?"
Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "I don't want to eat it now, you can eat it, there is still in the pot, I will eat it later."
Xia Chunyu ate the second steamed bun.
"Song Qi, let's go." Xia Chunyu ate his sword and went out. Song Qi drank the rice porridge and waved to Ye Jiayao, and ran after him.
Ye Jiayao chewed slowly and ate breakfast, counted the steamed buns in the pot, there were eight, and made twelve in total. She didn’t eat it. Song Qi and Chunyu each had six. If Peng Wu came back , One person can only be divided into four. They are men, they have to work hard, even if they don’t eat well, they should try to eat as much as possible.
Packed up the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Jiayao picked a weeping potted grass from the backyard and put it in her pocket, and then took the basket to find Aunt Jiang. In extraordinary times, she must also find ways to play a role, not to become a burden to others, don’t She can't do the same thing, she should still be able to find something to eat.
"Aunt Jiang, I want to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables." She didn't dare to go up the mountain alone, and wanted to take Aunt Jiang to be bold.
Aunt Jiang said: "It just so happens that Aunt Zhao and the others are going to dig wild vegetables, let's go together!"
So Ye Jiayao and Aunt Jiang went up the mountain together with some aunts.
"There are many traps on this mountain, you should be careful." Aunt Zhao is more experienced, and warns everyone along the way, taking everyone to avoid traps, iron clamps and so on.
"In fact, they are marked, as long as everyone pays attention." Aunt Zhao pointed to a piece of dry grass on the ground, and pointed to a branch on the side.
"Moreover, who dug each trap is marked, so that there will be no competition for prey." Aunt Jiang whispered to Ye Jiayao.
Ye Jiayao was scared for a while, she almost set foot on it just now. She thought she was most afraid of encountering snakes when going up the mountain, but she had to beware of traps. Fortunately, she went to join Aunt Jiang, otherwise no one would know if she died on the mountain.
Regarding wild vegetables, Ye Jiayao only recognizes wild onion, shepherd’s purse, dandelion, purslane, and bracken. Under the guidance of Aunt Jiang, he also knows Artemisia serrata. Its sprouts are delicious when scrambled with eggs; calamus , Can be stewed in soup; big bitter chestnut, has the effect of cooling and detoxification; and red amaranth, the cold dress is the most refreshing...
"Don't dig it up all at once, leave the roots, they will grow back in a few days." Jiang said.
"Yeah!" Ye Jiayao was digging wild vegetables excitedly. These wild vegetables and small animals all over the mountains and plains, this Heifenggang is simply a cornucopia! Ye Jiayao was originally worried that she would run out of ammunition and starve to death, but now she is not worried at all.
It didn’t take long for everyone to return with joy~ IndoMTL.com~ Ye Jiayao deliberately picked wormwood, calamus and red amaranth, one for scrambled eggs, the other for cold dishes, and the calamus with a little wind stew soup. Three dishes. Ye Jiayao was excited and decided to pick wild vegetables every day.
Make lunch, Ye Jiayao waited for a while, Chunyu and Song Qicai came back.
"Why come back so late today, the food is cold, or should I go to warm it up?" Ye Jiayao said.
Xia Chunyu waved his hand: "No, just eat something, I will go out later."
The two sat down, and Ye Jiayao went to pack porridge and steamed buns.
Xia Chunyu looked at the vegetables on the table and frowned. Isn't this wild vegetables? Yesterday, the big boss just ordered to tighten his belt and live his life. Today, he will eat wild vegetables?
"Who sent these wild vegetables?" Xia Chunyu asked.
Ye Jiayao proudly said: "I went up the mountain to pick it myself."
Xia Chunyu suddenly lowered his face and roared: "Who made you go up the mountain, do you know how dangerous the mountain is?"
, you care about her so much! Ye Jiayao felt that his roar was full of human touch for the first time, and said with a smile: "I will go with Aunt Jiang and Aunt Zhao, there will be no danger."
Xia Chunyu calmed down and said coldly, "Why is it not dangerous? You girls, if you run into a wild boar or a wild wolf, you won’t be able to run or fight, and you won’t be able to fight. It’s not a dead end. You are not allowed to go in the future."
Song Qi echoed: "Yes, my sister-in-law, from now on I take the time to go to the mountain and get something to eat back every day, so don't go."
"What are you doing? We don't go far, just in the nearby mountains, what can be dangerous, you elders can worry about your own affairs, don't worry about your maiden affairs." Ye Jiayao pouted her lips, she didn't want to do it. Eat waste waiting to die.
