Chapter 184 Three Poor Carrots!

"Damn it! I'm the only one who didn't hit the eggs, but all of you did!" Wu Guixiang cursed as she entered the yard, "The master who hit the eggs must have something against me, otherwise why didn't I have any?"

"Who told you to go to the toilet at that time? You cut in line when you came back, and your eggs were gone. Who can you blame?" The woman said with a smile, "Don't rush to go to the toilet next week, just wait in line!"

Wu Guixiang looked at their triumphant looks and had no choice but to carry the lunch box back to the house. When she entered the house, she saw that the steamed buns hidden in the cupboard had been taken out, and there were several pieces of steamed bun crumbs on the ground. She squatted down, picked them up, and put them into her mouth without even wiping them.

Several children stood in the corner in fear, and the little son was still chewing steamed bread! She was completely blown away.

Because she was a big eater and had to support her parents, she had to hide all the food and distribute it to the children in fixed quantities, otherwise she would not be able to eat enough!

"You guys are crazy! Why did you take out the steamed buns and eat them all?"

"Mom, we're hungry!" the eldest child cried, "My younger brother is also very hungry. The steamed buns are kept in the cupboard and will go bad sooner or later. Why can't we eat them?"

"You can't eat all at once, you little beasts!" Wu Guixiang also wanted to have a full meal, but the food at home was gone. She only had a few steamed buns left, which she boiled in water and drank to survive.

I had planned to eat some eggs today to satisfy my hunger.

There is still one week left before the man's allowance is paid. What should she do in the days ahead? The man can eat in the cafeteria, but what about her and the child?

I passed by the next room and subconsciously glanced at it, and saw Zhao Yue and Comrade Su having breakfast there.

The egg shells in the box pricked her eyes.

But she knew clearly that the little girl did not go to the cafeteria to get the eggs, which meant that the eggs were brought back by Zhao Yue. What a blessing!

Thinking about the man at home, he is like a piece of wood. I originally came here to eat a fuller meal, but I only earned so much, and this half-grown boy eats me up.

The jealousy in my heart suddenly rose up. How could some people live so well?

When Su Jinxia saw Wu Guixiang leading the child over, there was something a little strange in her eyes, but she didn't take it to heart.

"I'll go find the Chief of Staff first, and come back to pick you up to go to the cafeteria for lunch at noon."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Zhao Yue picked up the hat beside him, put it on, then turned around and left the house.

Su Jinxia felt that it was boring to stay like this, so she planned to walk around to familiarize herself with the environment and get to know the servants.

So I changed into a pink long shirt and jeans, which was a perfect match, and wore a pair of leather sandals. The weather was too hot, so I tied all my hair up into a high ponytail. The sun was a bit strong, so I took out a sun hat from the space and put it on.

She pushed the door open and came out, seeing those women and children gathered together again. When they saw her come out, they immediately stopped talking.

Wu Guixiang, "Oh, you are worthy of being a city person. This outfit looks good on you!" After saying this, she deliberately smiled at the people next to her.

Su Jinxia felt that there was something wrong with their eyes.

"I want to go outside for a walk. Do you want to go for a stroll?"

The women remained silent. They had just heard from Wu Guixiang that the leader's wife was a capitalist lady and had to be fed by her husband before meals.

They had never enjoyed such treatment before, and they felt a little unbalanced.

They didn't say anything. Su Jinxia knew that she couldn't fit in, so she didn't care what they thought. She locked the door and went out.

The surrounding environment is a bit remote. I asked the soldier at the gate and learned that the sea is to the north. I went there with my grandfather last time and found it quite interesting.

Soon they arrived at the beach. There were some small gravels on the beautiful beach, some of which were quite beautiful, so she picked up the gravel.

Looking out to sea, you can see fishing boats not far away, fishing.

Suddenly she saw bubbles coming out of the sand. She thought of clams, so she found a bag of salt in the space and poured a little bit of it into the hole.

After waiting for about seven or eight seconds, the clams came out.

This is a good thing, so she started catching razor clams. These clams are very delicious after washing them with water and then boiling them.

Apparently not many people came to collect them, so I only picked up about half a basin a few meters away.

"elder sister!"

I heard shouting from behind and turned around to see three children. They looked familiar and upon closer inspection, I realized they were Wu Guixiang's children.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Can you teach us how to catch this thing?" Zhou Dawa whispered, "We are really hungry and want to eat something."

Su Jinxia saw their pitiful appearance and thought they didn't seem to be lying, so she softened her heart a little, regardless of what their mother was like. These kids are good,

"I can teach you. It's actually very simple to make. Just use a small shovel to scratch the sand. Pour a little salt into the holes and the clams will pop out!"

"But salt is expensive." Zhou Dawa felt sorry for sprinkling the white salt. It was really too expensive for him.

According to what my mother said, how many eggs can I buy to eat salt for a few months?

"Seawater can be made into salt, but it's a little more troublesome. It can't be eaten by humans and needs to be processed further, but it can be used to catch razor clams."

"Really?" Zhou Dawa asked happily.

"We need firewood and a pot. Can you get them?" Su Jinxia looked at the three little carrots with shining eyes. The older child seemed very sensible.

Zhou Dawa said, "We have all these. I'll get them right away." He turned to his two younger brothers and said, "Wait here for me!"

The two kids nodded in agreement.

Su Jinxia watched the young man running non-stop until he ran behind some large rocks.

"How did you get a pot and firewood?"

"My eldest brother sometimes cooks for us. This place is relatively secluded and safe." Zhou Erwa said, "The food at home is not enough."

"How come there's not enough to eat?" Su Jinxia found it a little strange, because their mother was very fat and didn't look like she had no food to eat.

"Mom can eat, we can't snatch food from her." Zhou Erwa said sensibly, "My eldest brother also told us so, otherwise Mom will be angry. If she leaves, we will be without a mother!"

Su Jinxia has received a subsidy. In this era, are there still mothers like this who would rather let their children suffer than themselves?

The young man came back with a worn-out iron pot in his right hand and a bundle of wood in his left hand.

He quickly came in front of her and put the things in his hand on the ground.

"Sister, what should we do next?"

"Light the fire first." Su Jinxia felt quite sympathetic towards these children. With a mother like that, their life must be hard.

The boy immediately did as he was told, picked up a few stones, placed the pot on top, and quickly lit the fire.

Su Jinxia then instructed, "Add some sea water to the pot. Boil it for at least three pots. Cook it over low heat until it becomes a bowl of water. Then wait for the sea water to crystallize. Finally, use a grindstone to grind the crystals into powder. Ordinary coarse salt is ready. But people cannot take this back to cook. It will upset their stomachs!"
