With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Chapter 2 This is really a painful and happy experience!

In the worn enamel bowl in front of him was a bowl of rice porridge with wild vegetables. It would be more appropriate to call it rice soup rather than rice porridge.

There are so few grains of rice in it that you can count them with your fingers.

She knew that the team was beginning to run out of food. It was early November 1934, and the Long March had only been going on for a month when serious food shortages had already begun.

A marching team of tens of thousands of people, without reliable rear supplies and being pursued and blocked by the enemy, is bound to suffer from food shortages.

Zhou Yue picked up a piece of wild vegetable and put it in her mouth. The bitter and bland taste almost made her vomit.

She had eaten wild vegetables before, but she would blanch them in water and then mix them with various seasonings to make them taste spicy and refreshing.

However, in such an era and under such conditions, it was extremely difficult to get those seasonings, and even the most common salt was unaffordable.

The wild vegetable rice soup made in this way has no other taste except bitterness.

She forced herself to eat the half bowl of wild vegetable rice soup, and rested with her thin brother for less than half an hour before starting her afternoon schedule again.

Although Zhou Yue had applied medicine on the soles of her feet, it was still painful when she walked. The rough straw sandals scratched the wounds on her feet like a knife.

In her previous life, she was quite fond of sports and had always been in good physical condition.

But my body was too weak and the food I ate was not nutritious. After walking with the team for more than half an hour, I felt dizzy again.

She bought a piece of chocolate from the mall and secretly put it in her mouth. With the energy she gained, she was able to bite the bullet and continue walking.

To be honest, she felt very anxious and uneasy when she was eating the chocolate secretly.

The Red Army soldiers in the team only had wild vegetables and rice soup at noon, which was not enough to satisfy their hunger and they were already starving.

But she couldn't share the chocolate rashly, as it would arouse other people's suspicion. Seeing everyone looking pale and thin from hunger, she felt uneasy.

The afternoon walk lasted nearly five hours, and the team only decided to rest on the spot when the sun was about to set.

Zhou Yue already felt like her legs were not her own. When she sat down to rest, her calves were twitching.

She wanted to give up several times along the way and was so tired that she wanted to cry. Her caring brother noticed her discomfort and kept pulling his sister forward.

After completing the journey this afternoon, she felt relieved. In the balance section of the mall panel, her points had accumulated to 4878!

This is really a painful and happy thing!

"Xingxing, you two take a rest, we'll go pick some wild vegetables."

Zhao Dashan and two young cooks beside him, each carrying a large basket, were preparing to look for some wild vegetables for dinner on the nearby hills.

It's November now, the weather is getting colder, and even wild vegetables are becoming harder to find.

In the past, we could pick a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, but now, even after searching several hills, the amount we pick is still not enough for everyone to eat.

Although the cooks on the Long March did not have to carry guns and fight the enemy, their lives were still extremely hard.

In order to ensure that everyone had enough food, the soldiers in the kitchen squad had to search many hills and were so tired that they could hardly breathe evenly.

"Brother Dashan, let's go too!"

Zhou Yue stood up without caring about her trembling legs. Now that there were a lot of points in her account, she had to find a way to get some of them out.

Zhao Dashan did not refuse, but spoke to Zhou Xing next to him.

"It's hard to walk in this forest. You have to take good care of your sister, okay?"

Zhou Xing's face was dark, but his eyes were unusually firm.

"Don't worry, Dashan brother, I will definitely take good care of my sister!"

In order to cover a larger area of ​​the search, the several people did not go to the same place, but acted separately.

Zhou Yue took his brother to another hill. Now the road they were walking on was all mountains and hills. There were mountains everywhere, and the road was very steep and full of trees.

Zhou Yue and his brother walked down from the top of the mountain and were almost at the foot of the mountain, but they had gained very little along the way and did not even fill one-fifth of the basket.

Zhou Yue squatted on the ground, looking towards the foot of the mountain, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.

She touched her brother's head and pointed in a direction.

"I feel like there should be some wild vegetables over there. Go look for them. I'll wait for you here."

"Oh, ok!"

Zhou Xing has been dependent on his sister since he was a child, and he always obeys her words. After hearing this, he picked up the basket and walked in the direction she pointed.

Zhou Yue smiled and hurriedly walked down the mountain, dragging her aching legs.

Just now, she looked down from above and found a large pond formed by mountain spring water below.

She squatted by the pond. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom. When the water is so clear, there are no fish. There was not even a small fish or shrimp in it.

But it doesn’t matter to her, as long as there is a pond, it’s enough!

She quickly opened the mall panel and searched for "fish".

There are live fish for sale in the mall, and there are many kinds of fish, but she only plans to buy goby, crucian carp and grass carp. After all, these three kinds of fish are more likely to appear in ponds.

Especially the goby, which can often be seen in streams and deep pools, but it does not grow very large, only about two or three taels.

The price of crucian carp is 4 points per pound, the price of grass carp is 5 points per pound, and the price of goby is 6 points per pound.

In order not to arouse suspicion, I bought some as small as a finger, some as big as a palm, and some weighing more than ten pounds.

At the final settlement, I bought 100 kilograms of crucian carp, 150 kilograms of grass carp, and 120 kilograms of goby, spending 1870 points.

All of them were put into this pond, and the fish swam around in the pond. The scene was beautiful.

Zhou Yue couldn't suppress the smile on his face. To be an excellent cook, he had to make sure his comrades were well fed!

These Red Army soldiers haven't eaten meat for a long time. Today, let them taste the delicious fish soup!

Zhou Yue shouted at the top of her voice, "Brother! Brother, come quickly! There are so many fish here!"

When Zhou Xing heard his sister's call, he ran to the foot of the mountain without hesitation.

When the skinny boy saw the fish swimming happily in the pond, he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

His eyes were full of shock, and his black pupils were shining brightly.

"Wow! There are so many fish! I'll go get the monitor to help!"

Zhou Xing was so excited that he walked very fast. It didn't take long for him to reach the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Yue, who was squatting by the pond watching the fish, heard the noise behind him and turned around. He was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.
