Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 73 Pheasant Soup

The two continued to follow Naitang, and in a corner, they found a hoe.

Although this hoe is a bit worn out, it is still usable.

Naitang took them for a walk outside again and saw piles of firewood piled up at the kitchen door.

"Oh! There are so many firewoods. We can't move them all in a short time!" Mulan jumped three feet high with joy.

Mulan whispered, "Let's each take two bundles first! But it would be too obvious if we took them out. Be good, we have to find a safe place to go out later."

Naitang took them around the town for a long time, and finally they were almost dizzy before they found a small path to get out.

After searching for a while, they finally found Master Bai. Zhao Qiaoniang had taken down the backpack. Master Bai asked anxiously, "How's it going? Did you sell the rabbit?"

Zhao Qiaoniang shook her head and said, "No."

Master Bai sighed and said:

"A lot of people went into Moxiang Town today and said all the shops there were closed.

Oh! Those 20 coins are wasted! I heard that many people in Moxiang Town have fled..."

Zhao Qiaoniang took out a bag of grain, a hoe, and pushed the firewood aside.

Master Bai coughed and said, "This... where did you get it from? You didn't trade it for a pheasant, did you?"

The pheasant in Mulan's backpack flapped its wings twice. Master Bai was dumbfounded. Madam Bai said softly, "Why do you care where these things come from? Let the two children rest quickly."

Master Bai stopped talking. Zhao Qiaoniang lowered her voice and said, "We sneaked into a wealthy family through a dog hole and took it from the kitchen."

Lin Wanwan really thought her mother was very brave. She looked at Master Bai and was afraid that he would scold them.

Generally speaking, scholars are very noble and pay great attention to their character.

Master Bai coughed quickly and said, "Shhhhh! Be quiet. Did you get in through the dog hole?"

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said, "There's still a lot of firewood outside that family's kitchen. They probably couldn't take it away."

Master Bai nodded and asked, "Where did you come back from?"

"You don't have to pay if you come back from the path over there," Mulan said.

Master Bai thought for a moment and said, "How about we go get some more firewood? Winter is coming, and we need to prepare well."

Mulan asked curiously, "Master, aren't you talking about us?"

Master Bai laughed heartily and said:

"What are you doing? Since they don't need it, it's okay for us to borrow it.

We're going to die soon, why are we still being so hypocritical?"

Lin Wanwan nodded in agreement. Special circumstances require special treatment. In a disaster like this, it's impossible to talk to people about morality and laws. Everyone has only one belief: to survive.

Fortunately, Master Bai was not a pedantic person. Zhao Qiaoniang did not mention the money. She simply picked up Lin Wanwan and asked, "Is Wanwan a good girl?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "This little girl is very well behaved. She has been playing with the mynah bird all day long."

The mynah bird mumbled for a long time, and suddenly said, "Girl...Girl..."

Zhao Qiaoniang was startled. Lin Wanwan looked back at it and continued drinking milk.

Zhao Qiaoniang's milk supply has been increasing, and she's been eating better lately. She looked at the starlings and smiled, "These little animals just love to hang around Guaibao. I don't know what's going on."

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "That's good, otherwise these children would be so bored."

"By the way, Aunt Bai, shall we kill the two pheasants? We couldn't find any buyers in town, so we might as well give them to everyone as a supplement." Zhao Qiaoniang said.

Mrs. Bai nodded and said, "I'll ask the old man to kill the chicken in a moment, but it's a bit time-consuming..."

"It's okay. We still have dozens of bamboo tubes of water. If we run out of water, we can go to the mountains and fetch some back."

"Okay, let's find a place far away to cook chicken soup later." Mrs. Bai said.

"Um……"

A few people took the pot, found a small forest, built a simple stove and started cooking.

The chicken was washed very clean, using three barrels of water. They were two fat pheasants. I don't know what they usually eat, but they were very greasy.

Madam Bai fried out all the oil and said, "People still need some oil. Put this oil away."

Madam Bai added two more tubes of water and said, "We don't have enough seasoning. It would be better if we added some scallions and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell. Let's just make do with it!"

Zhao Qiaoniang took out mushrooms and dandelions from her backpack and said, "Put these in later."

Mrs. Bai added two more drops of white wine and said, "It's absolutely delicious."

"Ah..." Lin Wanwan smelled it. It was so fragrant, much more fragrant than normal chicken soup. She couldn't imagine how delicious this pheasant must be.

Mrs. Bai saw her drooling and laughed, "Little one, you're greedy again!"

Lin Wanwan was also very depressed, she couldn't control herself!

The aroma of the pheasant spread quickly. Fortunately, the place they found was very secluded. Each person had a large bowl of chicken soup, and each of them had a wooden bowl and chopsticks.

Lin Wanwan looked at the yellow chicken soup and licked her lips.

Lin Song drank a mouthful of chicken soup and said, "It's so delicious!"

"That's right! This chicken soup is so delicious, isn't it?" Mulan took a sip. She had never tasted such delicious chicken soup in her life.

Zhao Qiaoniang also took a sip and said, "I didn't expect chicken soup to taste like this."

She had only drunk chicken soup once, when Lin Dafu and Wang Qiuju got married and asked her to cook chicken soup, but how could she cook it?

Before getting married, I had never had chicken soup at my parents' home, and after getting married, even chicken was rarely seen.

To be honest, the chicken soup I drank that time was not tasty and had a fishy smell, but this chicken soup was so delicious.

Everyone drank a full bowl and each person was given a few pieces of chicken.

Lin Fugui's eyes were filled with tears. They had nothing to eat or drink yesterday, but today they were drinking chicken soup.

"What are you drinking?" a voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Ze, Lin Han, Lin Yuan and several children from the village walked out of the woods.

Lin Song stood up, looked at him warily and asked, "What's it to you?"

Lin Ze snorted coldly:

"My grandma said that everything in your house belongs to me. Are you drinking chicken soup?

Give us the chicken soup, or we will make a scene and let the whole village know that you guys are drinking chicken soup."

This kind of kid really deserves to be punished. Lin Wanwan looked at Lin Ze coldly, her face full of hostility.

Master Bai said with a stern face, "Go ahead and make a scene if you want! We didn't steal the pheasant, so what are we afraid of?"

Lin Han looked at the chicken soup, his mouth watering. He rushed forward and said, "I don't care. I want to drink chicken soup. Why can you bastards drink it? I can't drink it?"

Lin Fugui picked him up and threw him to the ground, saying, "Who do you think you are? What a bastard! If you say that again, I'll smash your mouth. If your parents won't teach you, I will."
