Hard times have room

Chapter 527 The Poor Will Think Change
"This Pauline, your dad and I don't have any ideas. If you have any ideas, just talk about it. We are a family, so there is nothing to be ashamed of."

It is also a failure for parents to mix up like them. Usually, the more sensible and capable Pauline is, the more self-blame they feel as parents.

She doesn't know what other parents think, but she wants to give all the best things in the world to Bao Lin, so that she can grow up carefree and not let her be worse than others, but the truth is Proof, it's just an idea.

She is still an ordinary peasant woman in Shanghe Village, who can't even solve the simplest food and clothing problem. She has to rely on her own daughter to make ideas. Is there anything more frustrating than this?
Although she also thought about it, she came up with a way, but obviously, she didn't have the brain.

"Mom and Dad, now the wild vegetables and grasshoppers in the ground have to travel a long way, and harvesting in remote areas is considered acceptable. If things go on like this, we will go further and further and harvest less and less."

"In this case, can we try to target the surrounding areas of Shanghe Village?"

"Dad, do you remember what I told you two months ago, the loach in the field? Now I think we can focus on this thing, the surrounding wild vegetables and grasshoppers are gone, just right, this When the loach is the most plump time of the year, we can go to the field to dig the loach."

If this happened two months ago, it would have been to fence the fields, mix the water, and fish in the water. At that time, catching loach might have been much easier. Now the ground is dry and cracked, and some water plants can still grow in some paddy fields. Thanks to the big river next to it.

The water in this field is dry, and the loach has naturally burrowed into the ground long ago, and it is impossible to dig without a hoe.

After the loach was brought back, Paulin had already thought about what to do, so she just shaved it, took out the internal organs of the loach, salted it, and put it in the sun to dry. It should be very good, um, it should be OK to steam it.

When Paulin thought of this, she swallowed her saliva at the right time. She couldn't think about this kind of thing, she couldn't help it when she thought about it, especially for someone like her who had been "hungry" for a long time.

"Is this feasible? And the loach." Wang Jiandang still has some concerns. At this time, every day, the things outside are a little less, and they are slowly being consumed. If you don't go, others will not wait for you, let alone. Leave it to you, this time can't be wasted.

But I can't give it a try. Anyway, the current situation is bad enough. Things like frogs and eels, when the water in the paddy fields was quickly evaporated by the hot and dry sun a month ago, would not be very good. I saw it, and now I can't find it.

The grasshopper has already stocked up a lot at home. Even if the family has been taking this as a staple food these days, the speed of consumption can’t keep up with the speed of bringing it home. Those dried at home are enough to eat for more than a month. Well, there is no shortage of this stuff, and it's not a big deal to delay it for a day or two.

"Okay, tomorrow our family of three will go, and we will go to the field next to Leigongjing. It has always been used to raise rice seedlings. It is very fertile, and there are many things in it." As for what there is, Wang Jiandang did not elaborate. .

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's not okay to live like this all the time. You have to change." For this decision, Su Hongying agreed with 120 people. The position in my heart is almost equal to that bitter wild vegetable.

If it wasn't for her having no choice, she would have hidden this thing in the house long ago, pressing the bottom of the box, how could she not leave it like this now.

What's more, she still remembers the taste of the roasted loach that Bao Lin made last time, and she misses it very much. This opportunity to change the taste is definitely not to be missed.

"By the way, Pauline, this loach has been dug back. Is it still like before, keep it in a water tank and fish it out when eating?"

"No, this time I plan to dry the loach I dug into a dry loach. However, how to do it specifically, we have to dig the loach back tomorrow. I will know if it will work after I try it."

"If this is true, then we can try to exchange this thing for food on the black market, maybe it is feasible." This is Pauline's ultimate goal.

As for how to find the black market, that's not a problem at all. At this time, when the black market is at its most rampant, as long as you reach the county seat, there are many people coming and going in a hidden place.

At this time, many people rely on the black market to live. Even the top ones turn a blind eye to the black market. Without the turnover of the black market, many people in this county will starve to death. Therefore, as long as there is no major disturbance in the black market, everything will be fine.

After all, many of the leaders above have an intersection with the black market. What used to be available in department stores can’t be bought now. That is to say, there may be goods in the black market. The current black market, due to the current situation, has ushered in its Moments of light.

"Okay, we can try this, maybe we can make it." When it comes to food, Su Hongying was immediately excited, and these words came out in a flash.

It would be great if this happened. Now the family lacks food the most.

"Okay, then it's settled. Tomorrow we go to dig loach, and we won't go to Daqingling to dig wild vegetables to catch grasshoppers." Bao Lin decided to make a decision that she had been thinking about for a long time.

At this time, the surrounding area of ​​Shanghe Village had almost been "cleaned up". As soon as the wild vegetables grew and showed a little bit of greenery, someone would come and shovel away the roots.

Even wild vegetables are like this, not to mention those grasshoppers that can be eaten and regarded as meat. Those who have meat and can eat are almost caught by people, and the rest are all those little ones. Yes, the color is gray and black, there is no meat, it looks ugly, and the head is still pointed, so naturally no one is interested.

Because no one is going to catch all kinds of grasshoppers, these little things are about to flood. Anyway, when you go out and step on the edge of the thatch, you can often startle a large, hundreds of them.

This kind of grasshopper is still very alert. When there is a little movement, it will jump to the surrounding area instead of staying in place, which will be considered unsafe by them.

At present, the fields of Shanghe Village are mostly all kinds of grass. Although people can't eat it, it has become the best habitat for mosquitoes. If you swipe it with a stick, you can start a large area.
