Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 17 Just Look at You

Wang asked: "Young lady, according to what you said, there are many taro around here?"

If so, the dire food problem could be alleviated.

With food, they will be able to fill their stomachs, restore their strength, arrive at a stable city faster, and be fully prepared to survive the cold winter.

Xu Yue shook her head helplessly, and looked at the Tong family and Qiu family who were already cooking taro in a pot.

Wang followed her gaze and immediately understood.

She patted the top of Xu Yue's hair, and smiled broadly, "Young lady is amazing, with these you brought back, plus the prey that Auntie brought back, it will be enough for us to eat for a while."

He didn't blame her for telling others about the taro in the mountains, but praised her for doing a great job.

Xu Yue's heart was warm, but she was still a little worried about the days ahead.

He asked in a low voice, "Aniang, how should we go next?"

Xu Erniang and Xu Da, who had already dealt with the pheasant and came back, all looked at Wang after hearing the words.

Before she knew it, she had already become the backbone of the family.

Although, this may be due to the gap between the strength values, but it has to be said that Wang's excellent ability to survive in the wild makes Xu Yue and others feel that she is more reliable than Xu Da, a cheap father.

Wang's analysis was clear: "There is water here, and we can still catch prey. Let's rest here for two days, prepare food and wait for the limelight to pass before going down the mountain."

Xu Da thinks it is feasible. After all, food is the most important thing. He escaped in a hurry before and didn't prepare anything. It is rare to have this opportunity now. Naturally, he must make good preparations.

just
The father and daughter looked at the villagers of Dawang Village who had returned from the forest in tacit understanding. The presence of these people has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that there are many people and strength, and they can keep the pond in front of them.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, the remaining food resources have to be shared with these people.

How could Mrs. Wang not know the worries of the father and daughter?
If you gain something, you will lose something, just like Xu Da said before, before they become stronger, the power of the group is still very necessary.

It is impossible to say that people are used when they are needed, and they are left behind when they are not needed.

What about next time?

Not every time you want to hire someone, there will happen to be so many people who will show up and let you take advantage of it.

"There are a lot of prey in the woods. I'll take them hunting tomorrow. At least let's keep this pond first and prepare the food we need for the journey."

Speaking of this, Wang worried about the water container.

This is ancient times, there is no foldable compressed water bottle, and they have to prepare basic water for at least half a month on the premise that they cannot determine where the next water source is.

If each person meets the basic security needs of one liter of water per day, five people will be five liters, and the amount of water for half a month will be 75 liters of water.

With Xu Dalang's great strength, coupled with her and Xu Da's sharing, it can be fully driven.

But what to use to hold so much water?

The traditional bamboo tube itself is very heavy, and the carrying capacity is doubled. A load of three hundred catties is not realistic.

Moreover, there is a risk of water leakage from the bamboo tube, most of which may be missed on the bumpy mountain road.

Wang was lost in thought.

The pheasant in the earthenware pot began to smell. The three brothers and sister Xu Yue stared at the earthen pot, even though their stomachs were already filled with taro, they were still so greedy that they swallowed.

Fresh chicken soup, even if nothing is added, this is the best meal since time travel.

Human talents are all forced out. Before time travel, Xu Da, who only knew how to taste delicious food, never knew that he, the young master of a rich family, could still shine on the skill of cooking.

He didn't expect that a pot of chicken soup, with only a few slices of dried ginger brought from home and a little salt water, would be so fragrant after being cooked on a high fire.

Xu Da is complacent and thinks he is a culinary genius.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang looked at each other, they saw it clearly, but they didn't tell the truth. In order to have a free chef in the future, they praised Father's talent without conscience, which made Xu Da even more excited.

The aroma is even worse, the pool is full of tempting chicken soup smell, the sound of swallowing saliva can be heard, and those eyes with green light make people panic.

It's good that Wang Da has a family. He followed Wang's back before, but let him pick up a rabbit that slipped from Wang's hand.

At this moment, half a cat was stewed to improve the children's food. The Wang family aunt and the Wang family's youngest son who had just started to talk were very satisfied.

Because of the presence of taro, the other villagers more or less relieved their hunger, so under the temptation of such delicious chicken soup, they just watched helplessly and did not come forward to snatch it.

Of course, they also knew that their skinny self might not be able to rob Mrs. Wang, who was capable of overcoming several disaster victims in other villages, so they didn't dare to rob them.

Xu Da took out five pottery bowls and filled a bowl of chicken soup for each of the family members. There were several pieces of meat in each bowl, which made people move their index fingers.

Xu Yue held the child's body, and didn't want to lose face. She picked it up and made a bowl of chicken soup first, which was so beautiful that she hiccupped.

When she moved, the others moved too.

Seeing that the Xu family and Wang Dayou's family were able to eat meat, Wang Dahai, who had previously practiced sexism, couldn't bear it anymore. He moved up and talked to Wang with a shy face, so that she would go hunting next time. Also bring yourself and others.

Wang smiled and was very generous, not only agreed, but also gave them a fatter rabbit.

Wang Dahai and the others were taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, they knelt down and praised Wang as a great benevolent person.

Xu Da silently drank the chicken soup and watched this scene, with a flash of contempt in his eyes.

It used to be called Mrs. Wang's Mrs. Xu, but now, it's called Mrs. Xu's sister-in-law.

It's just that there is never a free lunch in this world.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang stood up and said to Wang Dahai and the others: "I have one condition. If you agree, you will go hunting with me."

Wang Dahai and the others hugged the rabbit, responding to everything, and first said that they could do anything for Wang, and then they calmed down and waited for Wang to say the conditions.

Wang said relaxedly: "The condition is very simple, I can take you to hunt next, but all the prey you hunt must be handed over to me for distribution, and the fur of the animals must be given to me."

"If you agree, raise your hands. If you disagree, go find food yourself. I don't care about you. As for this rabbit, whether you agree or not, it's still yours. Just treat it as me doing good deeds for the children in the family."

Wang Dahai and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect the conditions to be so simple.

However, he was also afraid of being cheated, so Wang Dahai made a special confirmation, "Can you control the fullness? How do you divide the prey?"

"It's up to God whether you are full or not, but I can guarantee that everyone gets the same prey."

"But!" Wang's expression was serious, and he warned Wang Dahai, who was swaying his eyes, "Stealing and cheating, don't try to take advantage of everyone!"

Wang Dahai met the cold eyes and thought to himself, what are you doing looking at me, I don't want to be lazy.

Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Just look at you!"

Wang Dahai admitted his cowardice, and turned his head to look at the people behind him. Everyone agreed without any objection.
