Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"We just arrived, so we didn't have to wait long."

Xia Shengsheng asked everyone if they had eaten lunch, and they all said they had eaten before coming.

Xia Shengsheng asked Sicheng to take the things in the car back to the house and feed the livestock at home.

Then you can go play on your own.

She took ten women into the factory building in front.

In the factory, potatoes and sweet potatoes are already placed in rows.

"Since everyone has eaten, why don't we just stop exchanging pleasantries and get to work to avoid delaying the progress?"

Everyone responded to Xia Shengsheng, saying that if they could start work earlier, they could also earn money earlier, and they were all eager for it!

Xia Shengsheng divided the 10 people into two teams, one team made potato flour and the other team made sweet potato flour.

At the beginning, everyone held wooden basins and the grating board prepared by Xia Shengsheng to grind potatoes or sweet potatoes.

This job is relatively simple, but it requires a lot of effort.

But everyone had done farm work before, so it was no problem for them.

Xia Shengsheng sat on the side and gave instructions. Some of the pieces that were ground were too big, so he asked everyone to modify them again.

"Everyone must be careful! The iron sheet on this grinding board is very sharp, so be sure not to let it touch your hands. It's okay to do it slowly, safety is the most important thing."

Xia Shengsheng couldn't help but remind everyone that if their hands were worn out, not only would they suffer, but they would also not be able to do subsequent work.

"Got it, Sister Xia!"

"Don't worry, Sister Xia, we are all used to doing the work."

"Yes, don't worry, sister-in-law, we will definitely not touch each other."

Only after everyone agreed did Xia Shengsheng feel relieved.

The hand speed of several women is still pretty good.

In about an hour, more than 200 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes were ground.

Yesterday we harvested more than 2,300 kilograms of potatoes and more than 1,600 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Xia Shengsheng also bought several hundred kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes from the supermarket in the mall and added them in.

If all of these are made, a total of more than 500 kilograms of vermicelli can be made.

Xia Shengsheng wanted to make these first and try to sell them. If they work, he would increase the quantity and continue making them.

When the grinding is almost done, each team will send people to squeeze the starch, add water, and filter the starch.

It is much more convenient to fetch water now. You no longer have to run to the village to fetch water bucket by bucket.

Xia Shengsheng followed along the whole process.

By about 280:260 in the afternoon, we had ground a total of kilograms of potatoes and kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Xia Shengsheng asked everyone to finish the work and put all the ground potatoes and sweet potatoes on the racks outside to dry.

Although there is no sun at night, it is completely fine to leave it outside as long as it doesn't rain.

If the sun is shining brightly these two days, the starch can be dried thoroughly in two days.

That’s when it’s time to actually make the vermicelli.

"After you've packed up, leave work. You'll start work at 7 p.m. tomorrow. Take a half-hour break at noon and go home to eat. Then continue working in the afternoon. I've arranged everything at home. Thank you for your hard work!"

"No hard work, no hard work!"

"My family has made all the arrangements, don't worry, Sister Xia."

"Then we'll see you tomorrow."

Xia Shengsheng sent the women away and searched the yard, but Sicheng had not returned yet.

It seemed like they had really gone wild, but there was no rush to find him. Instead, he drove the donkey cart to the town to pick up Ye Chao and Er Cheng.

The door was locked, and when Sicheng came back, he asked him to wait at the door. As a boy, he was tough and had nothing to be afraid of.

When Xia Shengsheng went to pick up Ye Chao and Ercheng, a group of people gathered at the door of Master Zhu's house.

When Xia Shengsheng walked through the crowd, he saw Ye Chao and Er Cheng fighting.

Ye Chao was obviously giving in to Er Cheng, and every move Er Cheng made was difficult.

There were people around cheering.

Xia Shengsheng held his forehead with his hand: How dare you show off your fancy moves and embarrass yourself!

He quickly stopped Ye Chao and Er Cheng, lowered his head, and pulled the two of them into the car to go home.

Leaving behind a crowd of confused people.

When they reached a place where there were no people, she sternly told the two men not to embarrass her in public, and that they should practice their boxing and kicking skills first.

The two people dared not to nod in agreement.

After Xia Shengsheng looked better, Er Cheng asked about the situation at home.

When he was in class, he was always worried about whether Sicheng could help his mother more at home as there was so much work to do at home.

Why do we have to send him to school?

It would be great to do some work and practice martial arts at home!

When I have improved my skills, I can go up the mountain to hunt like my mother.

What's the good of studying? It's just a waste of money.

Although Xia Shengsheng didn't know what Ercheng was thinking, she still told him in detail what happened at home in the afternoon.

Anyway, I have nothing to do on the way back.

Ye Chao listened quietly beside him without interrupting.

When I got home, I didn't see Sicheng at the door. I opened the door, asked the two children to review their homework for the day, and then went to cook!

She only had one bun to fill her stomach at noon, and she was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.

The chickens and sheep at home were crying out of hunger, so Xia Shengsheng fed them first.

While feeding the rabbits, I found that one of the rabbits in my house was dead.

It's a little rabbit that was born some time ago.

There are some scars on its neck. I don’t know if it died from a fight with other rabbits.

I looked at the other rabbits lying there quietly, so I didn't pay any attention to them.

I added a handful of grass, washed my hands and prepared to cook.

Dinner for two is much easier to prepare.

To keep things simple, I just made some sausage stewed rice.

The vegetables and rice came out in one pot.

After stewing, it was already dark outside.

Sicheng hasn't come back yet.

Xia Shengsheng asked Ye Chao and Ercheng to look after the house while she went to the village to look for it.

After walking around for a long time and not seeing anyone, Xia Shengsheng unexpectedly ran into Hu Zi's mother who was also out looking for her child.

"Your children haven't come back yet? I don't know where these kids are going?

I saw a group of six or seven of them wandering around the village this afternoon! Goudan's mother even told me that if I saw them, she would ask her son Goudan to go back home earlier as well."

The children in the village are used to running wild because there is a small river next to the village.

Many children know how to swim since childhood.

So as long as you play near the village and don't go deep into the mountains, your family members generally won't worry.

No child dares to go to the deep mountains. They have been exposed to it since childhood and know that there are large ferocious beasts in the deep mountains. Therefore, no child is naughty enough to ignore the advice of his parents and run to the deep mountains to play.

"I've been busy this afternoon, and I didn't see where Sicheng went. Then let's go look for him together, sister-in-law.

The meal at home is ready, but these kids don’t even know how to go home!”

Normally, when it was time to eat, Sicheng would come back and wait by the stove without being called.

Today is different.

"Okay, I've looked in the east and north, but I can't find them. Let's go to the west. This little bastard made me run around for a long time. If I catch his shadow, I'll skin him alive."

Xia Shengsheng and Hu Zi's mother went to the west end of the village to look for him.
