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

Chapter 138 Promotion
"Wow, you can also cook!"

Lingjiao, who delivered meals to Mei Qian as usual in the evening, found Mei Qian cooking by herself at the entrance of the cave.

Mei Qian asked Chang'an for the pot, and Mei Qian temporarily built the stove at the entrance of the cave according to the terrain.

As for the seasonings, some are also collected in the space.

Everything was working together, and now that there were wild vegetables, it was impossible for Mei Qian not to make a simple meal for herself.

Although I dug a lot of wild vegetables today, I was not forced to hand them all in. Mei Qiante picked out the ones that she knew and were not unpalatable and brought them back.

Others don't know whether this wild vegetable is edible or delicious, but Mei Qian knows it.

Just dig wild vegetables for others, as long as they are edible.

If you dig it for yourself, it will naturally taste better.

Mei Qian didn't tell anyone else this kind of little secret.

Grass heads, shepherd's purse, and malan heads all have their own flavor after being processed.

If it wasn't too obvious that she couldn't do it, Mei Qian could still take out the meat oil she secretly hid in the space and make some to eat.

"Yes, I will do it~"

Mei Qian looked at the pancakes and a small fistful of boiled wild vegetables brought by Watershed Jiao, and immediately said, "Have you eaten yet? You've seen me, so why don't you eat these."

"That's not okay. I, I can't eat your food every time."

Lingjiao quickly shook his head and refused.

"Every time you bring something specially to me, just eat some, otherwise it will be wasted."

Mei Qian took the initiative and gave the wild vegetables and half of the pancake to Ling Jiao. Ling Jiao accepted it while looking at Mei Qian with tears in his eyes. He was obviously moved by Mei Qian.

"Don't cry, don't cry. If you're really uneasy, help me get half a bucket of water after eating."

Not only did Mei Qian understand Lingjiao's temper, she also understood it. In her eyes, this kind of behavior of "taking advantage of others for nothing" would make her always trembling.

Mei Qian took a look at the size of the wooden barrel filled with water in the cave, then looked at the size of water chestnut, and specifically said half a barrel.

"it is good!"

Lingjiao's eyes immediately lit up when he heard it, and then he started "eating broadcast."

Mei Qian's preparation of wild vegetables was quite simple. She kept some fine salt she made at home in her space. While Watershed Jiao was concentrating on cooking, she dressed the blanched wild vegetables with some salt and put some into the space.

This was probably the first time Mei Qian took the initiative to upload it in the past few days. Xiao Mei was very enthusiastic. Mei Qian only said that they could exchange it later when she finished writing the description, and then they started today's dinner.

While eating the wild vegetables she had blanched, Mei Qian noticed that the water chestnut pancake was almost finished, but the wild vegetables were not eaten.

"Why don't you eat this dish?"

Mei Qian had previously seen that water chestnut could eat this hard pancake, so she thought water chestnut was not picky about food, but when she got the wild vegetable from water chestnut, she became curious.

"Is it that bad to eat?"

Mei Qian glanced at the group of wild vegetables suspiciously, and then quietly asked Xiaomei: "Can this wild vegetable be uploaded to the platform?" 】

Xiaomei: [Host, if you want to ask if this is delicious, just ask directly. I can tell you responsibly that this stuff tastes worse than what you made with milk. 】

Mei Qian: "..."

Is it really so unpalatable?

Mei Qian quietly took a chopstick into her mouth without believing it, and the next second she spat it out regardless of her own image!

"Bah bah bah!"

At that moment, Mei Qian's sour mouth almost stopped her from seeing her grandfather.

“It really tastes so bad!”

Mei Qian was really upset by the unpalatable dish. Did she not expect that besides her old Mei family, there were other experts in the unpalatable dish? !

"Really? Uncle Niu finished cooking today, and when he tasted it, he was cursing, saying that the people who washed and picked vegetables today deliberately tricked him." After listening to Lingjiao's words, Mei Qian asked: "Then Uncle Niu doesn't recognize it himself? Someone else was cooking something unpalatable, and he noticed it, so why not cook it or cook it in a different way? "

Why is it all the fault of washing and choosing vegetables?

"Hmm... It's probably because Uncle Niu only knows how to make pancakes and boiled vegetables, and he's not good at cooking in other ways."

Mei Qian silently looked at the pancake in her hand, a little doubtful about life.

Is this called being able to make pancakes?
"I used to hear people at the door saying that there are master chefs in the military camp who specialize in cooking, and the meals they cook are very delicious. But when I came here, I discovered that there are actually no chefs..."

"Ah, that's not the case. A master chef who can cook for an entire army is indeed quite capable."

It's just that this group of people is not an army at all, and they are probably very rough in eating by themselves on weekdays.

Mei Qian thought silently in her heart. She looked at the water chestnuts again and ate the dry and hard pancakes. Then she divided some of the wild vegetables she had blanched and ate them with the water chestnuts.

While eating, Mei Qian continued: "I just came here yesterday, and when I look at the people here, they all... seem to be the same, right?"

"Ah? What's the same?"

"They all looked like ordinary people. I thought there would be some wealthy families running away."

At a glance, the people on that field seemed to have the same mental outlook, not to mention the clothes they wore and the cloth on the sheds, and their living standards seemed to be the same.

In addition, when she was digging wild vegetables today, when she looked at the other people digging wild vegetables, picking wild fruits, and chopping firewood, none of them looked like they were not working.

Many people do things more efficiently than her.

"After receiving the news earlier, those rich and wealthy households had already crossed the river and ran away." Lingjiao explained, "Now all that is left in the city are ordinary people like us."

Zixing County has its own dock, but there have been no ships on the dock for a long time.

"We are all left behind and cannot leave."

Lingjiao sighed and his tone was a little low.

Her family originally only lived in a town near Zuixing. When the news of the call from the Xirong soldiers came, it was already difficult for people like them to rush into the county town to seek shelter. It was not their turn to cross the river. Are these people concerned?
But even after entering the city, the city still couldn't be defended in the end, and so many people died.

Lingjiao could hardly remember the scene when the Xirong soldiers broke into the city. At that time, there were screams and cries all around the house.

Dad took a pair of scissors and twisted her and grandma's hair, put on his brother's clothes, and the whole family, disgraced, mingled with the crowd and ran out of the city along the route arranged by the magistrate.

Along the way, the cries and curses of the people were mixed with the roars of the Xirong soldiers. In the blink of an eye, the surge of people dispersed her and her family.

When she was rescued, she realized that she was the only one in the family who had actually escaped.

Lingjiao numbly followed the people into the mountain. When she climbed to the mountainside, she didn't know who called her back, so she also turned back and looked at the original county seat, with thick smoke billowing and fire lighting up half of the sky...

"Would you like some wild vegetable soup?"

Seeing Ling Jiao quietly lost in thought, Mei Qian filled a bowl of hot wild vegetable soup to call Ling Jiao back to his senses.

"Ah, thank you."

Ling Jiao held the bowl, as if he was still a little stunned, and sipped the refreshing vegetable soup in small sips.

Mei Qian on the side also drank the vegetable soup and looked at the sunset on the horizon. The taste of the wild vegetable soup brought back memories of when they were running on the road last year.

It was a time that I felt quite emotional when I recalled it, but it was also a memory that I didn’t want to experience again.

When Lingjiao brought another half bucket of water to Mei Qian, Mei Qian put away her thoughts for the day, boiled water, and prepared to tidy up and go to bed.

Unexpectedly, Chang'an came again that night. In addition to Chang'an, there was also Wang He on this trip.

Regarding Mei Qian's mention of boiling water in the morning, and the fact that Changping later sent people to monitor Mei Qian, but was tricked by Mei Qian, all the two guards could say was Mei Qian's experience of fleeing last year.

Wang He, who was listening on the sidelines, found something worth learning from, so he came to ask Mei Qian.

Mei Qian didn't expect that the first person here who was willing to praise her would be Wang He...
