After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

Qiao Lan looked at the children at home, her eyes glancing over the meat from time to time, as if she was extremely greedy.

"Tao'er, do you want to eat this jerky?" Qiao Lan asked.

Duan Yutao didn't even think about it, his eyes were bright and he nodded fiercely, "Grandma, I want to eat! But grandma, you have just recovered from your illness, you should eat more."

The child's words made Qiao Lan feel extremely considerate.

After eating dry food for several days, to be honest, Qiao Lan couldn't bear it for a long time. But thinking about the things given by others in this wilderness, she really couldn't feel at ease.

"Do you have any instruments or methods for checking food?" Qiao Lan poked at the system.

[Yes! However, you have to use points to exchange for the host!]

As he said that, the system pulled up a screen in front of Qiao Lan, displaying various colorful instruments on it.

Qiao Lan looked at the zero under the number.

Well, it's something a poor person like her doesn't dare to think about.

I can’t afford to change it, not even in this life!

"It's not that grandma won't give you food, it's that in this wilderness, you can't just eat what others give you. What if this person has bad intentions?" Qiao Lan warned.

After listening to Qiao Lan's words, several children showed confused expressions on their faces, and then nodded in understanding.

"Mom, we are not related to them, so they don't have to do this to harm us!" Duan Mingjing said matter-of-factly.

"So many people are watching!"

He felt that this group of people would not dare to commit murder in front of everyone. Besides, they had just seen that there were more people in their family than the family named Yu.

When Qiao Lan heard this, she gave Duan Mingjing a big roll of her eyes. How could a man in his thirties be so stupid? Do you think others dare not commit crimes in public?

After hearing this, Duan Mingqing slowly said, "Mom, Sanniang has learned some medical skills. If you are worried, let her take a look."

Mr. Qiao didn't value Duan Mingqing, a concubine, so the wife he married was naturally not a carefully selected woman from a famous family.

When Duan Yuexiu was still here, she thought that her concubine was getting old, so she asked Mrs. Qiao to help arrange the marriage.

Just now, one of Qiao's stewards reported that a worker in Qiao's shop had damaged the goods in his shop. The family was poor and had no money to compensate, so they might have to sell their daughter to pay for it.

Mrs. Qiao wanted to humiliate Duan Mingqing, so she directly pointed out the daughter of that family to Duan Mingqing. If a rough family was so poor that they sold their daughters, the daughter of this family must be a country girl.

After she got married, Ms. Qiao was surprised. She was pretty, and she knew etiquette and literacy. Ms. Qiao didn't know what the relationship between the couple was like, but she spent a lot of time chatting with her daughter-in-law in the back house.

As for what her daughter-in-law is capable of, Mrs. Qiao is even less clear about it.

Thinking about it now, Qiao Lan laments Duan Mingqing's good luck and the fate of the couple.

They are both the third youngest, and their lives are equally miserable.

Fortunately, we have a good relationship and can support each other all the way to this day.

"Then take them over and see if you can eat them." Qiao Lan said.

All the gifts brought by the two families were delivered to Ms. Liu. She took them, looked at them carefully in the light of the fire, and sniffed them gently.

"Mom, this large piece of meat seems to be beef. I know that there is a craft of air-drying ham in the south, but the ham in the south cannot be eaten raw. This meat seems to be cooked and then dried. It can be chopped into pieces and boiled until soft.

eat."

"There are a lot of candied fruits on this meat jerky, which is how they are made in restaurants in the capital. However, don't leave this stuff in too long. It will go bad in four or five days. You have to eat it quickly."

Mr. Liu expressed his own opinions on these things.

Qiao Lan nodded after hearing this, as long as he can eat it.

The dried beef sounds like it can be eaten directly when there is nothing to eat.

Qiao Lan has eaten beef jerky before, but she has never seen such a large piece of beef.

Qiao's memory told her that beef in this era was not so easy to buy. Cows were registered by the government. If you wanted to buy beef, you had to choose a good time and wait for the cow to die naturally.

Qiao Lan knew how to cook and knew that it was not easy to make jerky from such a large piece of meat. He didn't look like an ordinary person.

Qiao Lan has no idea of ​​currying favor with others, she just hopes to maintain a good social distance, so that she doesn't harm others, they don't harm her, and she can escape back to her hometown safely.

"Second daughter-in-law, take it and share it with everyone. Since you can't let it go, you'll eat it tonight." Qiao Lan ordered.

"Mom, please eat more." Wang said thoughtfully and gave Qiao Lan a third of it.

There was a lot of dried meat in the oil paper bag. It looked like there were about thirty pieces. Wang placed seven or eight pieces in front of Qiao Lan.

The Wang family divided the rest one piece at a time. Everyone in the family had a piece, and Uncle Sun and his son each also got a piece.

Uncle Sun was so frightened that he said, "Second Madam, I can't help you. I'm just a slave. It's enough if I have food to eat. No need to eat meat."

"Uncle Sun, please take it. This is my mother's order." Wang said, handing over the dried meat.

She saw that when Qiao Lan shared meals with Uncle Sun and his son in the past few days, he gave them the same as the masters at home. Mrs. Wang immediately made a plan in her mind and wanted to treat Uncle Sun and his son better.

It's just that everyone divided themselves into a circle, and Wang didn't have any left for herself.

"Mom, keep these for tomorrow," Wang said, wrapping up the remaining slices in the bag.

Leave it until tomorrow so that I can feed the old lady.

Mrs. Qiao took a look, picked up a piece from the bowl in front of her and handed it to Mrs. Wang, "You can eat it too."

Mrs. Wang took it in surprise and joy, "Thank you, mother!"

Others in the family looked at it, some were surprised, and some were normal.

From Duan Mingjing's point of view, his mother was such a nice person, she was usually very nice to him, and now it was not strange for her to be nice to her sister-in-law. Besides, it was just a piece of dried meat that she stuffed into her mouth and chewed.

Duan Mingqing and Duan Mingchen looked at it and immediately thought to themselves that it was because they didn't know the old lady well before. It was because they were sons and didn't know how good their own mother was.

Qiao Lan picked up a piece and tasted it herself. She didn't like the sweet meat very much, and she regretted it when she stuffed it into her mouth.

He asked Mrs. Wang to wrap up the remaining meat and distribute it to the children tomorrow.

The children were even more happy after hearing this.

It was quiet next to the fire in another place. You could clearly hear the chirping of cicadas in the forest, the crackling of firewood, and the voices of the carriage nearby.

"Chen Shu."

"Master, the slave is here."

"If you see any prey in the forest tomorrow, please hunt one and send it to the Duan family." The young man said softly.

"Yes, Master." Chen Shu stood aside with a serious expression.

The Duan family worked hard all night and cooked a lot of dry food before going to bed.

I woke up the next day and went on my way as usual.

The mountain forest was quiet and secluded, and no other people could be seen fleeing except them, but the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk.

Qiao Lan came down and walked for a while today. She climbed into the carriage only when she was out of breath, but she couldn't stay in the carriage for a while before getting off by herself.
