Chapter 121 A Hard-to-Cheap Cake

"Mom and Dad, good morning! You're both up. How did you sleep last night? I didn't have any more nightmares, so I slept well.

I think it’s still quite early, so let’s hurry up and eat something before continuing on our journey.

This morning, we're just having a simple meal. This is the pancake I baked earlier. I put it away, and we'll each have one to make do with. Here's this for you.

You might choke a little, so just drink a sip of water and eat a bite of bread. Don't worry about the water, just come find me when you're done."

Yu Qingqing rubbed her sleepy eyes, then turned around, groped behind her, and pulled out a few brown rice cakes she had baked earlier.

Fortunately, the cake was still edible and there was no problem, so I ate it in the morning.

"I understand, Qing'er. Let's go downstairs and eat. Your elder brother and father are still downstairs. As for the cake, we'll eat it together later.

The sun has risen today, and I think it must be very bright today.

It would be better if we set off earlier, otherwise it will get hotter and hotter later and it will be difficult to rest."

Hua Qinglu took the cake that Yu Qingqing handed to her. She was going to get down from the tree first and have breakfast with Yu Qinghai.

She looked down and saw Yu Qinghai sitting there with the fire burning brightly.

"I understand, Mom. I was inconsiderate. I should have gone down first and then taken it out. How about giving the cake to big brother first, and then we'll go down slowly."

Yu Qingqing patted her head, feeling confused from sleep. She was now in the tree. She had taken the cake out so early, and it was difficult to take it back, so she could only give it to the people under the tree.

At this time, Yu Qingshu had arrived under the tree and was talking to Yu Qinghai.

"Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai, come here. This cake is given by your sister. We'll eat it this morning. I'll throw it to you, please catch it.

Wait a minute, let's come down together and eat this cake with you." Hua Qinglu poked his head out and shouted loudly to Yu Qinghai.

After a while, Yu Qinghai heard it and came over, then made a gesture as if to receive something.

Hua Qinglu threw it down directly. Fortunately, his throw was quite accurate and he caught several cakes in a short while.

"My dear, go slowly. Let me help you. Don't be anxious. Take your time.

Hand Xiao Ji to me first, I'll hold him first. Then I'll help you. You must pay attention to safety when you're up there.

At this time, Yu Qingshu also came under the banyan tree, and then he reached out to pick up Yu Qingji. Yu Qingji was not afraid and let Hua Qinglu pass him down.

Yu Qingshu quickly met him. Slowly, everyone came down from the tree and gathered around the fire to prepare breakfast.

"Dad, we don't have many breads left, just these. We need to find a way to prepare some more dry food.

If we were to hurry up, we couldn't cook over a fire every time. I was also worried that there would be more people behind us, and if we cooked over a fire as a family, we would be easily exposed.

So we still have to think of a way to cook without being exposed. Yu Qingqing took it and started to eat the cake in Yu Qingshu's hand.

But when she bit it, she almost broke her teeth.

This cake is really too hard. It seems that she needs to find a way to grind the wheat in the space into flour and then use it to make cakes.

"I understand, Qing'er. You're right. There will probably be more and more people coming, and our family is indeed in great danger.

The journey is quite long. I looked at the map. We are very close to Hukou Town. We can go through it and see if there is anything you need to buy.

If you need to buy something, see if you can go to "Hukou Town" to buy it, it won't take too much time.

Yu Qingshu thought carefully about Yu Qingqing's words and felt that what she said made sense.

It was indeed very dangerous for their family to travel together, and the daughter's suggestion to prepare some dry food was also very necessary.

"Dad, I suddenly remembered something. I might really need to buy something. If Hukou Town is convenient and nearby, we can go there to buy it.

If you think it's inconvenient, I'll talk about it later. It's a tool for grinding wheat into flour. Can you buy it in town? I need it right now.

Yu Qingqing was still very bold and expressed her thoughts.

After all, everyone knows that she is doing this for the sake of her family, so there is no need to worry too much about other things.

Qing'er, are you talking about wheat? Is that the kind we eat? Wheat is a rare commodity. Can you really get it?

Actually, the tools aren't that difficult to use. We usually grind it by hand. Then, we put the wheat in a wooden barrel and grind it vigorously with a pestle.

Although Yu Qingshu had already accepted the treasure Yu Qingqing mentioned, he was still very surprised when he heard Yu Qingqing mention Xiaomai.

Not only him, but everyone around him was also very excited after hearing what Yu Qingqing said. Could it be that they could really eat wheat?

This is something they would never dare to imagine in their entire lives because they have never eaten it before.

"Qing'er! Do you really have wheat? This thing is really rare. In fact, we can eat brown rice cakes, don't embarrass yourself.

If it is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it will bring disaster.

After all, even eating is a problem now, and if you can produce wheat, others will surely be jealous."

Hua Qinglu was also surprised. However, she was still a little worried about her daughter's safety. Regardless of whether her daughter could produce wheat or not.

But in the current situation, if someone finds out, it would be extremely dangerous.

Out of concern for Qingqing's safety, she was struggling in her heart. On the one hand, she wanted to improve her family's lives, but on the other hand, she was worried about Qingqing's safety.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I know my limits. I won't put myself in any danger. As long as you support me and trust me unconditionally.

I'll work hard to make everyone feel better. Eating too much of these brown rice cakes can cause indigestion and isn't good for your health. Just now, this cake really cut my teeth.

You see, Xiaoji is still so young, it’s not suitable for him to eat these things! We adults may not be bothered by them, but children’s stomachs are much more fragile than ours.

If we continue like this for a long time and eat dry food frequently, we will easily develop food problems."

Yu Qingqing knew that things would not go so smoothly, so she talked about Yu Qingji.

As expected, Yu Qingshu and Hua Qinglu were moved when they heard Yu Qingqing talking about Yu Qingji. That's right! It's okay for adults, but children's stomachs are indeed very fragile.

Not long after, other people started passing by the banyan tree on the roadside. When they saw Yu Qingqing and her family eating, they all became eager to join them.
