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

Chapter 228 New Year and New Preparations

With the sound of firecrackers, another year has come.

Mrs. Mei and her whole family stayed in the main room to watch the New Year's Eve. Except for the youngest, Mei Li, who was too sleepy and fell asleep, Cui'er couldn't stay up and fell asleep first because she was pregnant.

Everyone else stayed in the main room to watch the New Year's Eve, but the time spent watching the New Year's Eve seemed a bit long.

Without Mei Qian at home, I always felt like something was wrong during this new year.

Listening to the crackling sound of firewood in the charcoal basin, Mrs. Mei was thoughtful.

"Girl Qian is not at home, so this charcoal brazier is just a charcoal brazier."

Mrs. Mei looked at the round charcoal brazier with some pity. She couldn't help but remember that when Mei Qian was here last year, wouldn't there be some snacks on the shelf on it?
Pear soup, chestnuts, small sesame cakes...

Even if you put a few small oranges on top and heat it up, it will still be delicious.

Hearing Mrs. Mei's sigh, Mrs. Han took the oranges from the dustpan next to her and said, "Mom, how about roasting a few?"

"How many are roasted? Two days ago, you said you should eat some roasted oranges when you coughed. Throw the oranges under the stove and burn them directly into charcoal. Save less waste."

Mrs. Mei was very disgusted with Han's volunteering. Others in the family heard about it and thought about the recent meals at home.

Ugh!
This life is a bit boring.

Really, no taste!

Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Mei Shitou also took the initiative to speak and told his story about being an escort, intending to warm up the scene.

"The things I escorted this time are extraordinary."

"what?"

When the family members heard that Mei Shitou was so mysterious, they opened their mouths and asked.

"Yes... it's a coffin."

Everyone: "..."

The atmosphere seemed to be even more wrong.

"Where did it come from?"

Mrs. Mei was the first to notice something was wrong.

Even if someone dies in a foreign country, how can someone returning home with a coffin go through an escort agency?
"From Jiangbei."

As soon as Mei Shitou said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

"Why is it still Jiangbei..."

Jiang became visibly nervous.

Someone from Jiangbei died, and the coffin was returned.

This shows that the other party's hometown is not in Jiangbei. If he takes the risk to send it back at this time, the other party's status must be not low.

How come there is such a risk if it is not low?

"It's a pair of father and son coffins.

It is said that my father was the guard of a city. Later, the city was depleted and he died there. When the wife and children fled back to the south of the Yangtze River, their son also died on the road. Later, some kind people collected the bodies of the father and son and sent them back..."

"Wouldn't it be sad to see this coffin delivered to the widow? Her husband and children are gone."

Han seemed to be thinking of herself. When she thought of Mei Dahu's death that year, she felt it was difficult to breathe, let alone the loss of her child.

"Fortunately, I remember that when we went to deliver it, the lady seemed to be thin, but she seemed to be in good spirits and accepted the coffin calmly."

Mei Shitou didn't expect that the other party could be so calm at the time. Because it was getting late when it was delivered, they spent some money to stay at a house over there for one night.

Later, he heard from a fellow villager that the wife of that family had actually been a little crazy since she came back from Jiangbei.

Sometimes he is sober and sometimes crazy. He is guarding the old house of her husband's family alone. On weekdays, her maternal uncle and sister-in-law come to take care of her. It is only in the past six months that she has gradually recovered.

[I think you have accepted the fact and let it go, right? ]
[You are lucky that you didn’t send him to me when he was crazy. Otherwise, how could you leave so easily? ]
Mei Shitou sighed with emotion for a while, and when he raised his head, he suddenly met his grandma's gaze.

"Milk?"

"What exactly does your escort agency do?"

Mei Shitou: Hehekou?
···
"Do you want to see your father again tonight?"

Mei Qian helped Qi Zhen meet his mother and concubine, which took a lot of time. Mei Qian calculated that she would have to stay up all night again. She was thinking that no one would come to her door tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she wanted to catch up on her sleep.

"No, let's do it another day."

When he met with his mother and concubine, he was not sure of the time. Qi Zhen shook his head and said no. Mei Qian was about to leave immediately after hearing Rumeng's amnesty. However, Qi Zhen said that it was getting late, so he would stay in the palace to rest before leaving.

Mei Qian refused directly.

Come on, can she sleep in here?
Don't fall asleep here, it's dawn over there,
Then she climbed out of the warm quilt and went home to cover herself with the cold quilt.

What's this?
She's not sick, so why do she abuse herself so much?
Don't let down the good times in your bed.

Mei Qian ran away simply, and Chu Ji was also arranged to live here by Qi Zhen. Then he turned around and heard that Mei Qian had run away in the middle of the night. Qi Zhen even sent someone to escort her back carefully. Chu Ji laughed after hearing this. .

He suddenly realized how she felt when she was riding a horse all the way back to the city from the military camp.

"A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse~"

Chu Ji smiled and said this next to Qi Ze. Qi Ze glanced at Chu Ji and then withdrew his gaze, holding back some words in his stomach that no one wanted to say.

Mei Qian didn't know what the two people were whispering behind their backs. When she ran home in the middle of the night, she ran into Ling Jiao and several servants keeping watch in the corner room.

Seeing Mei Qian back, a group of people were also very happy, and they all came forward to greet her and bring tea and water.

Mei Qian also took out the small red envelopes she had prepared early in the morning.

Mei Qian also received her salary a few years ago. There are only a few people in her house, including a sweeper, a caretaker, a cook, and a housekeeper like Ling Jiao. Mei Qian can still afford this small red envelope.

"May everything go well in the new year."

As the alarm bell sounded in the alley, Mei Qian distributed the red envelopes to everyone. Instead of accepting everyone's kneeling, she casually let them say a few auspicious words to her, and Mei Qian couldn't wait to go back to sleep.

Mei Qian didn't wake up until the afternoon of New Year's Day.

The first meal of the New Year was prepared by Mrs. Li, the cook, which was very sumptuous. Mei Qian was very happy to eat it, and Xiaomei was even more happy when she uploaded it later.

[Host, please celebrate the Chinese New Year more next time~]

Mei Qian: [……]

Ignoring Xiaomei, Mei Qian divided the food she uploaded into categories and compared them with those who exchanged them accurately.

A small plate of stir-fried bean sprouts, bean sprouts mixed with wild vegetable sprouts, and a small bowl of shepherd's purse dumplings were all given by Mei Qian to Li Feifei in the apocalyptic plane in exchange.

Mei Qian had already told the other party in advance that she needed high-energy milk tea powder;

Mei Qian returned a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup to Mengzhen in the orc plane, and got a lot of fruits and vegetables with seeds;
Green vegetables and tofu cooked in chicken soup, which Mei Qian exchanged with the spirit for three drops of toilet water;

Substituted two double-sweetened red bean paste buns and Wilson from the Great Voyage Plane for some more sweet potatoes;
Mei Qian once wondered if this guy had fallen into some sweet potato nest, and there were still so many sweet potatoes after so long.

There was still some delicious food left, so Mei Qian made a few lunch boxes and exchanged some Ying Ling rice with Yue Hua.

But Yuehua was so moved that she bluntly said that he would study this platform again and then send some other good things to Mei Qian.

In response, Mei smiled and said nothing, but Xiaomei and the platform felt like they were facing a formidable enemy!

This Yuehua is simply a living father bound to their food exchange system!
In addition to these, Mei Qian specially uploaded all ten skewers of fat and thin mutton skewers made by Mrs. Li, just to exchange nutrient solution with the interstellar exchanger.

Speaking of which, the interstellar exchanger named Harry was also a little embarrassed.

Because in the interstellar, some nutritional solutions with light taste are actually not popular, and the other party always feels that they are taking advantage of Mei Qian.

Therefore, it was originally agreed to exchange twenty pieces, but Mei Qian ended up with five more.

But after reading the descriptions of the flavors of the last five sticks, Mei Qian felt her cerebellum shrink.

[What is salted duck egg flavor? And this preserved egg flavor, huh? 】

The first twenty bottles are all in the flavors of white peach, kaman tangerine, and sweet tea.

Why did the style of these last five pictures change so much?

Mei Qian asked Xiaomei, and Xiaomei was also very silent...

Xiaomei: What’s going on with the system on the interstellar side? Why is the threshold so low?

Interstellar version of "Xiao Mei": I didn't give you a taste of the nuclear flavor, so it's pretty good.

Xiaomei:? ? ?
