When she was carrying the food to the kitchen, Grandma Wang came out with a bowl with a chipped hole and said kindly, "Girl Yue, drink some water quickly."
Li Mengyue was not very thirsty at first, but seeing Grandma Wang's expectant look, she took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
After handing the bowl to Grandma Wang, he told her his intention.
"Grandma Wang, you were stepped on and injured at the door of my house this morning. I came to help you check your injury."
"Girl Yue, Grandma Wang is fine. These are just minor injuries and pains. We farmers can just bear with them and get over them. There's no need to pamper us."
Seeing that Grandma Wang was stubborn, Li Mengyue took out the medicine she had prepared earlier.
"Grandma Wang, if you won't let me see it, you must accept this medicine."
After saying this, without waiting for Grandma Wang to refuse, he put the bottle of medicine in Grandma Wang's hand.
Then he took the food to the kitchen.
It's called a kitchen, but it's actually just a thatched shed with a stove made of a few stones.
Grandma Wang was a little surprised to see that Li Mengyue had brought food, but she had already taken the medicine for her wounds and could not ask for food anymore.
So he stopped her and said, "Yue girl, take the food back. You have already given her medicine for her injuries."
Li Mengyue knew Grandma Wang's principles in dealing with people, so she ignored her and put down the food. She said, "Grandma Wang, I still have some food, so I'll leave it for now."
"Hey, Yue girl..."
Grandma Wang wanted to stop Li Mengyue and take the food away, but Li Mengyue was running as fast as a meteor, and it was impossible for Grandma Wang to catch up with her by taking three steps and resting.
"Forget it, let's wait until Tiechui Xiaoxi comes back."
Grandma Wang turned and went to the kitchen, but she saw only half a bag of grain and an ounce of silver next to the bowl.
Before Li Mengyue even left the house, she heard the system's cheering voice.
【Tuanzi, what's wrong? You're so happy. 】
[Host, gratitude value +10, should I be happy?] The system's voice shrieked with joy.
[Gratitude value increased? Why didn't I hear any sound?]
[Uh, I'm not sure, but it did increase by 10.]
Li Mengyue thought about it. She had just come out of Grandma Wang's house and her gratitude value increased. It was probably related to the medicine, food and silver she sent.
It seems that if you want to increase your gratitude value quickly, you still need to do more good things.
Thinking of this, Li Mengyue quickened her pace to go home.
Half an incense stick later, Li Mengyue had just opened the door when she heard her mother calling her.
"Yueyue, come and try my fried locusts. How do they taste?"
"Okay."
Li Mengyue came back just to fry the locusts so that she could quickly sell them in the town.
I didn't expect that my mother had already done it, which saved her a lot of trouble.
"Yueyue, I'm imitating you and making three flavors. Can you try them all?"
"Yes, Yue, your aunts and I have all tried it. It's crispy and delicious. This is the first time we know that locusts can be eaten. Fry them in oil and the flavor is so delicious that it will make your mouth water."
When frying the locusts, the village chief's wife was helping out. She tasted one and it was indeed delicious.
At first, she was worried that Miss Yue would spend so much money to buy it, hire someone to process it, and fry it, spending so much time and energy. If she couldn't sell it, she would lose a lot of money.
But now she is relieved. As long as Yue Yatou sells the meat at a reasonable price, even an ordinary family will be willing to buy a pound of it to feed the children at home.
After all, locusts are meat. As Yue said, they are very nutritious and can provide the body with protein.
Li Mengyue tried all three flavors. Overall, they were pretty good, except that she was a little unsure about the right temperature.
But this is not a big problem, you can sell it.
"Mom, it tastes pretty good. I'll go call Mingyu and Minghao back to go to town with me."
As soon as Li Mengyue finished speaking, she heard her brother Minghao's voice: "Sister, sister, I'm back."
Minghao ran home like a little rabbit, hopping and skipping.
Because he was running too fast, he couldn't stop in time and almost fell to the ground, but Li Mengyue was quick to pick Minghao up.
Mingyu was different. He walked steadily and steadily, without giving any sign of impatience.
"Okay, put down the little bamboo basket and go to town with your sister."
"Okay." Minghao immediately put the small bamboo basket in his hand into his mother's hand, and ran to his sister.
Li Mengyue put ten pounds of fried locusts in a big backpack and went home with her two younger brothers Li Laogen.
Because it takes a lot of time to get from the village to the town, and before the locust plague breaks out, every minute and every second is precious and cannot be wasted, it is better to spend a few more coins and take an ox cart.
The three of them quickly arrived at Li Laogen's house. Li Mengyue knocked on the door: "Uncle Laogen, are you home?"
"Who's at home?"
As the voice fell, the door opened.
"Sister Mengyue, it's you!"
Li Zhu was holding a small bamboo basket and was about to go to the field to catch locusts, but he didn't expect that Li's sister would come to his house.
"Brother Zhu, is your ox cart here?"
"Yes, my father has been feeling unwell these days, so he hasn't gone out." Li Yuzhu replied.
I heard that Niu Che was at home, but Uncle Lao Gen was not feeling well, so Li Mengyue was a little embarrassed.
She had never driven an oxcart before, and although she was a good learner, it wasn't her own oxcart, so she didn't dare to "ruin" it casually.
She wanted to ask Li Mengyue if he could drive an ox cart, but Li Mengyue seemed to know what she was going to ask and asked directly: "Sister Mengyue, do you want to take an ox cart to the town?"
Before Li Mengyue could say anything, Li Zhu continued, "My father can't drive the ox cart, but I can. Let me take you there!"
After saying this, Li Zhu went back to the yard to harness the ox cart.
Li Mengyue didn't expect that Li Zhu would respond with so many sentences after she said one. Before she could explain the situation, he immediately harnessed the ox cart.
But she didn't intend to refuse, as she came here just to ride in the ox cart.
"Drive, stop." Li Zhu drove the ox cart to the door.
"Sister Mengyue, Mingyu, Minghao, hurry up and get on board. I inherited my driving skills from my father, so don't worry about leaving you behind."
At first, Li Mengyue didn't think much about it, but after Li Zhu said this, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Suddenly, as soon as we walked a mile, something happened.
