Crossing the Unknown Country

Su He decided to go up the mountain again tomorrow, and they would go to town the day after tomorrow. The herbs at home needed to be delivered to Huiyitang as soon as possible.

The next day they got up early again to copy books. When Su He was almost done, she went to cook. This morning she wanted to make a bowl of kudzu root powder and egg soup. Pour out the water in the basin, leaving a layer of white powder. Scoop a spoonful of kudzu root powder, stir it with water, put it into the boiling water pot, and it will become a transparent paste in a while. Su He took out two eggs, broke them and sprinkled them into the kudzu root soup, found a few mint leaves, chopped them and sprinkled them on top, put some salt in it, and a pot of delicious egg kudzu root soup was ready.

Su He scooped another spoonful of kudzu root powder into a large bowl, added some flour and vegetable leaves to make a batter. He found a casserole, scooped out the kudzu root soup, lightly greased the bottom of the pot with a cloth strip, and spread out pancakes.

Today's breakfast was very rich, with a big bowl of kudzu root and egg soup for each person, and as much pancake as they wanted. Su He saw that it was not enough and made some more. Thinking that the remaining ones could be tasted by the Su Pei brothers, Su He thought it was delicious.

After Su He's parents got up and washed up, they saw that their daughter had already prepared the meal. The fragrant smell was so overbearing. Their family usually had rice porridge and multi-grain steamed buns for breakfast. When had it ever been so rich?

The Su Feng brothers couldn't hold on any longer. Teenagers are prone to hunger, and they couldn't resist the temptation of such a delicious breakfast. They couldn't copy books anymore, so they simply packed up their books and prepared to eat. The two brothers brought the meal to the table. Looking at the beautiful color, it was not only fragrant but also pleasing to the eyes. Seeing that his parents and sister had all sat down, he couldn't wait to take a sip from the bowl. The fragrance filled his mouth. It was the first time he had such a delicious soup since he was a child. He picked up the pancake and took a bite. It was soft, fragrant and delicious. Today's breakfast made the whole family satisfied. Su He was praised by everyone. Such simple ingredients made delicious food. The name of the little chef officially rang in the Su family.

The Su Feng brothers and Su He's father could not resist the temptation, and each of them went to share the remaining soup and finished the pancakes. At Su Run's strong request, Su He went to spread a few more pancakes, otherwise there would not be enough to eat and there would be no left for Su Pei and the others. The Su Feng brothers finally felt full, and their stomachs were fuller than ever before, so comfortable! This was the first time in my life that I could eat like this, because this time I had no burden. Su He said that most of the ingredients used were kudzu root powder. Kudzu root doesn't cost money, and if you don't have it, you can go to the mountains to find it.

Su He also discussed with his father that if they really found a lot, they would share it with the villagers, so that they could improve their lives. Then he would ask his father to tell the village chief to have someone go to the woods to look for it. If they eat it like this, everyone will definitely be willing. This can save a lot of food and improve their lives. Their family can also expand their popularity in the village. After all, Su He still wants to make money to build a house and buy a cow in the future. These are big things. It is easy to get along well with everyone, otherwise it will easily cause jealousy and it will be bad if someone makes trouble.

Of course, her father understood what Su He's father meant. When he was poor, he had nothing. Everyone was the same. Once they became rich by relying on the mountains, and did not share with the villagers, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among everyone. Therefore, some benefits still need to be shared by everyone. After all, they all live in the same village. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. When something happens, they can take care of each other. Most of the people in this village are pretty good. There are a few families that are not so good. Most of them are honest and easy to get along with.

Their grandfathers came here from afar to settle down, and they chose this place after looking at many places. This village is backed by mountains, and there is a small river beside the village. The villagers are simple and kind, and they don't bully strangers. It's just poor and far away from the town and the county. But there is no problem living a stable life. After all, it is close to the mountains, so even if a disaster comes, they don't have to leave their hometown, and they can survive by relying on wild vegetables in the mountains.

Su He thought about the problem of this disaster year. Their family needed to dig a cellar, and they also had to find a place in the field to dig a cellar, just in case. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is the basis of life. She also had to find a hidden place in the mountains with her brothers to store some food that could be preserved for a long time, just in case.

Su He thought he had to ask about military service. In ancient times, the population was small. Once a war broke out, every family had to send someone to fight. Adult men had to send men. I don't know what the rules of this dynasty are. Su He still hasn't figured out the name of this country, what era it is in, and knows nothing about these. Every day, I work hard to get enough food and clothes, and I don't have time to learn about these. My parents and brothers don't have time to discuss these things. When they have time, they just think about working to make money.
