Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

"So good!"

The village chief's eyes lit up.

Although Hexi Village is one of the most important villages in the surrounding area, other villages are trying their best to marry their girls to Hexi Village.

But the villagers could only afford to eat. After paying taxes on the harvested grain, the remaining grain would not starve them, but they could not be sold for much money.

If you want to earn some spare money to buy daily necessities, you have to think of other ways.

If Miss Luo could hire people from her own village to work, it would really improve the situation of many families.

And she also has to build a house, and then make furniture after that.

Thinking of this, the village chief's eyes brightened. Miss Luo's move here has brought benefits to many families in the village.

Luo Xiaoran looked at Village Chief Zhang's bright eyes, which were twinkling and his thick eyebrows trembling, and he looked very excited, so she quickly interrupted his thoughts.

"Village chief, if possible, I would like to complete the land purchase tomorrow so that I can hire someone to build a house later."

Before Luo Xiaoran finished speaking, the village chief excitedly continued:

"Okay! I'll help you right away. We villagers can also help you build a house and make furniture later!"

Luo Xiaoran was startled by the village chief's enthusiastic attitude, but she still maintained her calm and dignified image and answered him with the village chief's words just now: "That's great."

······

After returning to Hexi Village and sending the village chief home, Luo Xiaoran took Luo Xingchen back to her rental house and put the purchased things back into the house one by one.

The most important thing is to replace the old door lock with the new one.

She didn’t let Sanhe get any advantage when renting the house yesterday because she was afraid someone would do something bad.

Luo Xiaoran was not sure if the three brothers had a spare key to the house. What if they took out all the things she had just bought while she was away?

She dared not underestimate the moral bottom line of the three unfilial sons who extorted her rent.

After cleaning up, Luo Xiaoran washed her hands and scratched the little tail Luo Xingchen's nose, "Let's have a simple lunch today, and stir-fry meat for dinner, okay!"

Luo Xingchen watched his sister busying around and wanted to go over to help. However, due to his young age and short limbs, he might end up making things worse. Therefore, he felt sorry for Luo Xiaoran who had to work so hard.

When my sister heard that we could have a simple lunch and she wouldn’t have to prepare so much food, she was very happy and nodded repeatedly.

Luo Xiaoran lit a fire and cooked a pot of millet porridge to nourish her stomach. She stirred it with a spoon while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the pot. When the rice grains were soft and the porridge was thick, it was ready to be served.

Simple scrambled eggs with green onions and stir-fried loofah with garlic slices will taste very delicious with a little salt.

The staple food was steamed buns bought in the county town. There was no bleach at that time, so the steamed buns were yellow, the color of wheat, but they tasted good.

Luo Xiaoran didn't cook a large amount, but the two of them were very full and there were no leftovers.

"Chen'er, today I want to teach you a word that you may not have heard of. It's called 'Clean Plate Campaign'."

Luo Xingchen tilted his head and looked at Luo Xiaoran with his big eyes. Although he didn't say anything, Luo Xiaoran could tell that he wanted to ask what "Clean Plate Campaign" meant.

Luo Xiaoran held Luo Xingchen on her lap and explained to him very patiently:

"The Clean Plate Campaign means we should cherish food and eat the food on our plates instead of wasting it.

But eating it all does not mean that you are already full and still want to eat more.

The key is to cherish food, cook only as much as you can eat, and don't waste it. It's not good to cook eight dishes when you can only eat three, and end up throwing away a lot of it.

Because there are still many people out there who don’t have enough to eat, or even can’t get food.”

Luo Xingchen nodded to show that he understood, and Luo Xiaoran rubbed his little head happily.

"Okay, I've been busy with my sister all morning, so I'm going to take a nap first, and sleep until I wake up naturally, okay?"

Seeing Luo Xingchen nodded, Luo Xiaoran led him into the bedroom, took off his shoes and coat, and went to bed in just his underwear.

Luo Xiaoran picked up a blackened branch from the stove and used it as a charcoal pencil, and drew on a stone slab outside the house.

Oh, I was careless. I forgot to buy paper and pen today.

Luo Xiaoran wanted to draw the general structure of her future house. It didn’t need to be too big, but it had to be safe.

Therefore, the outer wall must be high. If conditions permit, even sharp iron sheets should be inserted into the top of the wall to prevent anyone from climbing over the wall from suffering.

Bedroom, study, kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, toilet and utility room all need to be arranged.

The yard should be larger so that vegetables, fruits and flowers can be grown.

After the house is built, the decoration inside is the most important thing, especially the furniture placed inside. I don’t know whether the craftsmen here can create the style I want.

Bathrooms and toilets are also a headache when it comes to sanitation.

In ancient times, people used bathtubs for bathing, and there were no modern showers.

The toilet is also a dry toilet. It is okay in autumn, winter and spring, but it is very fragrant in summer and attracts mosquitoes and flies.

For this reason alone, I believe that many fairies with fantasies would not want to travel back to ancient times.

After having a general idea about the house, Luo Xiaoran began to prepare dinner.

Since you bought pork ribs, let’s make some pork rib soup.

Chop the ribs into pieces of similar length. Buy the corn in pre-peeled kernels, wash them and set aside.

Cut green onion into sections and slice ginger.

Pour water into the pot and blanch the ribs, mainly to cook away the blood inside and the fat on the surface.

When the water boils, pour out the blood foam in the pot, then take out the ribs and drain the water.

Then pour oil into the pot, add onions and stir-fry, then pour in the pork ribs and stir-fry, pour water, and add two drops of vinegar, this will make the pork ribs soup more delicious, add corn kernels and ginger, and boil.

Cooking in another stove.

I wanted to make stir-fried pork with beans, scrambled eggs with cucumbers, and also stir-fried spicy and sour shredded potatoes, but there were only a few fruits left on the precious pepper plant, and Luo Xiaoran wanted to save seeds, so she just sauced the shredded potatoes with vinegar.

Finally, the pig intestines were cleaned with wood ash and fried with green onions.

After the vegetables are fried and the pork ribs soup is almost done, add a little salt and you can serve it out and drink it.

Maybe it was because he went out too early in the morning, Luo Xingchen took a nap and didn’t wake up until now.

Luo Xiaoran was using a spoon to scoop out a little pork rib soup to taste the saltiness when Luo Xingchen appeared at the kitchen door, rubbing his eyes.

He hadn't put on his clothes yet and was wearing slippers. It seemed that he smelled the fragrance in his sleep, which made Luo Xiaoran laugh so hard that she quickly put down the spoon and pulled Luo Xingchen back to the bedroom to help him put on his clothes.

Luo Xiaoran packed some of the four dishes and a bowl of pork rib soup, and while the villagers were busy making dinner and there were not many people on the road, she walked towards the village chief's house.

It was Zhao Cuilan who opened the door. "Oh, it's Mr. Luo. No, I heard from my father-in-law that it's Miss Luo. What are you doing?"
