The rice pounded by hand by Jin Xiaoye is definitely not as white as the rice ground by modern machines, but it is much softer than the brown rice!
When Li Qingzhi took a bite of the white rice that night, he felt the incomparable sweetness.
He could eat a whole pot of rice without any vegetables, and there was also salted fish on the table...
Li Qingzhi felt that he could eat two pots.
When the end of the world began, he was only eighteen years old. Although his family's conditions were not rich, they were not bad either.
At that time, he loved meat and had to eat meat for every meal. He never thought that white rice was delicious.
But this time... he thought the white rice was really delicious!
He was not the only one who felt this way. Li Laogen and his two children also ate with gusto. Li Laogen also said, "When I was a child, I went to the county town for the first time. I happened to see a child about my age holding a bowl of white rice and eating it at the door. The rice was whiter than what we eat today... I thought at the time, it would be great if I could eat white rice every day."
Li Ermao immediately said: "I also want to eat white rice every day!"
Even Li Damao said: "White rice is really delicious."
Li Qingzhi said: "We will be able to eat white rice every day in the future." How could his child not even be able to eat white rice
And he himself... sooner or later he will have to live a life with enough white rice to eat!
By then he will eat three bowls at a meal!
"Dad, is it true?" Li Ermao looked at Li Qingzhi curiously, and Li Damao's eyes were also full of anticipation.
"Of course it's true. Dad wouldn't lie to you." Li Qingzhi was sure.
This era is strange to him, but he will work hard to give his family a good life!
However, as soon as Li Qingzhi finished speaking, Li Laogen said, "Your father is just trying to coax you! It's not easy to have enough to eat every day, and you still eat white rice every day..."
Jin Xiaoye also felt that Li Qingzhi was just coaxing the child, but the child was still young, so there was no harm in coaxing him a little.
She glared at Li Laogen and said to the two children, "Da Mao and Er Mao, when we save enough money to buy two acres of land, we can eat white rice every day."
Jin Xiaoye's goal has always been to buy two more acres of land and then save some money for Damao and Ermao to get married.
Their family only has two acres of land, which is too little. If they buy two more acres, they will be able to support their family in the future.
Of course, it would be better if the two children could find a livelihood other than farming.
Li Laogen was afraid of Jin Xiaoye, and upon hearing this he immediately said, "Yes, yes, if we buy another two acres of land, we can eat white rice every day, haha."
Li Damao and Li Ermao cheered immediately.
For the next half month, Jin Xiaoye did not go to the county town again and was busy working in the fields.
Going to the county town to make money is important, but food is the foundation of their lives.
Half a month later, Jin Xiaoye bought some things from the villagers and prepared to go to the county town the next day.
What she bought were mainly chicken eggs and duck eggs, as well as some vegetables - they grew too few vegetables themselves.
Of course, she didn't forget the cock that Sister Wang wanted.
But it's hot now, so it would be better for her to kill the rooster before she leaves tomorrow.
"We will kill a rooster tomorrow and there will be chicken blood. I will cook it and give it to you to eat to nourish your body." Jin Xiaoye said to Li Qingzhi.
