Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 108 Another year

"This time Enke, the number of people who want to come to the aristocratic family will be very small. It is said that His Majesty will recruit the children of the aristocratic family individually."

Lin Qin sat in the study and talked about this matter with Old Yuan.

Old Yuan didn't comment on this, but looked at Lin Qin to see what else he thought.

Lin Qin put down his brush and said: "In the past, I would have thought it was unfair. Aristocratic families could become officials without passing the imperial examination. But now... there are only a handful of people who hold high positions among the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court and come from aristocratic families."

Chen Cuihe also said the same thing.

The sarcasm and anger in his eyes were undisguised.

From the very beginning when he fled south, he discovered the subtle attitude of the court towards the aristocratic family.

In the end, they stopped the people going south through the canal, and the reason was high-sounding.

The area where they stayed when they crossed to the south of the Gyeonggi area was different from the area where they stayed when they crossed the canal. After he arrived in Yaolin and contacted his old friends, he was shocked to discover that there were actually many aristocratic families who were silent during this escape south. Disappeared.

Now even in matters like Enke, the court does not want people from aristocratic families to get involved.

"In that case, don't blame us for finding another way to survive..."

···
Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou were on the Kang very quickly, faster than Mei Qian and Mrs. Mei growing bean sprouts together.

After the Yuan family and the Lin family had set up a fire to dry the kang, the first crop of soybean sprouts appeared.

Mrs. Mei immediately decided to make bean sprout soup for dinner.

Because Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou earned some money from playing on the Kang in the past two days, Mei Qian took advantage of her joy and suggested stewing pork leg bones and bean sprouts together.

There was a pig leg left over from the wild boar that Mei Erhu had brought back earlier. Due to her careful calculation, more than half of the dried pig leg was left uneaten.

Mei Qian put two small bowls of pork bone and bean sprout soup into the upload system. In less than a moment, Mei Qian received three drops of toilet water essence from the mixed-blood elf, and exchanged it with Li Youyou from the apocalyptic plane for a new food - compression. Steamed buns×2.

When she saw the words "compressed steamed buns", Mei Qian was somewhat confused.

[Host, don’t look at these two steamed buns in front of you, they are only about the size of a baby’s fist, but they weigh a lot. Moreover, when it is heated by steam, it can expand to more than ten times its original volume. 】

Mei Qian:? ? ?
What kind of super expanding agent is this?
Xiaomei didn't say anything, but when she did, Mei Qian looked at the two "little Yuanzi" with a burning look in her eyes.

"It's just a pity that this thing can't be taken out casually." One steamed bun turns into "ten", and this cannot be done casually.

A steaming pot of bean sprouts and pork bone soup, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and a pot of brown noodle steamed buns.

This dinner was indeed quite sumptuous. Mrs. Mei glanced at Mei Qian several times. Mei Qian was in a good mood today and she did eat a lot.

So, except for Mrs. Mei who felt a little distressed, everyone in the family was quite satisfied with the dinner.

After dinner, Cui'er took the initiative to help wash the pots and dishes, but as soon as she left the yard, she softly exclaimed: "Ah! It's snowing!"

"what?"

When the family heard this, they came out of the house one after another and looked up at the gray sky. Sure enough, the goose-feather-like snow fell down like this.

Mei Qian immediately carried the two-month-old puppy Doubao back to her house.

Mrs. Mei also moved a nest of chicks directly into Xiao Hui's donkey awning. In response, Xiao Hui snorted twice and didn't say much else.

It's not that he can't feel the weather changes, but Xiao Hui's eyes are somewhat dissatisfied as he stares at the half-sized chickens in the shed.

It doesn't look very warm.

When it was completely dark, Mei Qian ate sesame balls and looked through the window at the ground that had accumulated a layer of snow. Mei Qian got on the kang, lay on the warm kang and let out a sigh of relief. Her mind was already thinking about the thick snow that would pile up in the yard early tomorrow morning.

She finally has the freedom to play in the snow! !
So early the next morning, Mrs. Mei saw several human figures printed on the snow in the yard.

Maybe it was because the snow was just right. Through the coherent movements of these figures, Mrs. Mei even felt that she had seen Mei Qian fall and roll in the snow.

Mrs. Mei: "..."

The days when it snows are beautiful, but the days when the snow melts are so cold that life is worse than death.

In this way, the days of life and death continued from November to the end of January of the following year.

The snow in the south has a high moisture content. When the snow melts, not only is the temperature extremely cold, but the roads are frozen solid in the morning. When the sun rises and shines, the ground becomes muddy again.

Mrs. Mei, who originally thought that after the New Year, the weather would be warmer, she would be able to visit the house as she pleased, but she did not expect that she would not be willing to go out after the New Year.

As soon as she went out, she was stuck in the mud. On the other two occasions, if Mei Qian hadn't been there, Mrs. Mei would have slipped and knocked her old bones.

"Obviously someone is doing it, but you still have to collect the money. You don't want anyone else to earn the money?"

On this day, Mrs. Mei was muttering in the yard with a dark face. Mei Qian had just come back from outside carrying a basket.

Seeing her breasts acting like this, Mei Qian glanced at the yard again. Seeing that no one else was there, she couldn't help but ask, "Miscellaneous, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just got a notification from the village chief, saying that the superiors are collecting corvee labor. Each family will send a male, and each person will be paid five taels of silver."

Although the corvee here is safer than the military service in the north, Mrs. Mei, who had just come here, was reluctant to send her grandson and son to participate in the corvée. In addition, she did have a lot of money, so she planned to spend the money to pay for it. corvée.

It's just that although Mrs. Mei is willing to part with this money, it is only five taels of silver after all, and Mrs. Mei is not happy about spending this money.

Mei Qian couldn't help but smile.

She is used to her feeling so sorry for her money every day.

"There are obviously a lot of refugees who have no money to settle here. There are many people working, and they have to collect corvee labor. Is it a shortage of people or a lack of money? I think they are determined that there will be a lot of people to provide money."

Mrs. Mei hummed a few times, then looked at Mei Qian's basket and asked curiously: "Where have you been this early in the morning?"

"I went to the bamboo forest behind Lin's house to dig bamboo shoots." Mei Qian showed the bamboo shoots she dug to Mrs. Mei and said, "It's delicious sliced ​​and fried with meat or stewed in soup~"

"Meat and anything fried are delicious! You want to eat meat every day."

Ouch, her mother has already seen through Mei Qian's "trick".

How did Mei Qian eat up the pig leg at home last winter because of Mei Qian's coaxing and lying? Mrs. Mei didn't say anything.

"You are not allowed to use meat to make these bamboo shoots today, not even meat or oil."

After hearing Mrs. Mei's request, Mei Qian's face fell.

Hey~
When it was over, not only was her breasts unprotected, but she also set the standards for Mei Qian's cooking today.

Regarding the matter of spending five taels of silver today, Mrs. Mei naturally mentioned it in front of everyone at home after dinner.

"After the spring plowing, my family will have to walk around a lot to see if there are any suitable new jobs."

After Mrs. Mei gave the order, there was no reason why everyone in the family should not respond. But as luck would have it, Mrs. Mei was just thinking about this matter when Mrs. Tao came to Mei's house the next day and brought new news...

In the new year, it’s time for big things~_(：3　∠)_
