Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

When Zhao Yuanzhen returned, there were still a lot of people queuing up to get water. It should be the second round.

The room they were assigned was a small one, just enough for her family to live in. She walked into the room and gave Li Zhijuan a look. She understood immediately and closed the door.

Li Zhijuan watched her take out the money one by one.

There are also two large food boxes and a large bag of steamed buns. How much did my mother-in-law buy?

Zhao Yuanzhen asked Li Zhijuan to call them over for dinner. Seeing Zhang Xinshu coming in, she brought him a lunch box with a portion of braised pork and beggar's chicken, and 15 steamed buns, and asked him to deliver them to the old house.

Zhao Yuanzhen trusted Zhang Xinshu very much. Every time he delivered something, he would avoid people and rarely let anyone see him. He was very smart.

Li Zhijuan and Qian Xiaohui led Xiao Zijin into the house. Zhang Xinbai and Zhang Xinnian were queuing up to fetch water, while the other was taking care of the livestock and watching the grain cart.

They eat first, and then two more people come in to eat.

Zhao Yuanzhen distributed a portion of thirsty water to each person, and each person took it randomly, and whichever one got was the one that counted.

Xiao Zijin curiously opened it and took a sip, then immediately stood up excitedly.

"Grandma, this is so sweet and icy. It tastes so good. What is this?"

Zhao Yuanzhen took it and looked at his thirsty water, it was kumquat balls.

"This is a thirst quencher, and yours is a kumquat ball made of kumquats."

"Grandma, this is so delicious, I can't bear to drink it. I want to save it for tomorrow."

"Okay, then you put it away and we'll drink it tomorrow." After thinking about it, everyone still had a portion of ice cream, so it would be better for Xiao Zijin to drink less ice cream.

"Mom, this is too much. Just buy one for yourself. You don't have to buy one for us. We can just drink water."

"Yes, mother, I boiled a lot of water today and the water hyacinths are full."

Zhao Yuanzhen waved her hand, not caring much, and took out ice and snow and Sushan for them to choose.

Bingxue is equivalent to today's ice cream popsicles, and Sushan is equivalent to today's shaved ice.

"Mom, you should choose first, and we will choose after you choose."

"Yes, you choose first, mom."

Zhao Yuanzhen chose Fensushan. She really missed shaved ice. In this kind of weather, she felt smooth after having one.

Zhang Xinshu also chose a portion of Sushan, and ate it with narrowed eyes. He smiled with satisfaction, and only then did he feel like a child. Usually he always looked like a little adult.

After distributing the drinks, she opened the food box, took a wooden barrel, turned it upside down, put a board on it, used it as a table, and placed all the dishes on it.

Qian Xiaohui brought a bowl and a spoon, poured a spoonful of fungus porridge for each person, and put out steamed buns and chestnut cakes. Whoever wanted to eat could take it.

Looking at the table full of dishes, many of which they had never seen before, their mouths were watering. Zhao Yuanzhen was also very greedy, as she hadn't had a good meal of meat for a long time. She hurriedly called everyone to start eating.

There is water tonight, and the horse meat that was distributed in the village has been made into jerky by everyone. Now it is just right to be taken out to make soup. Among the aromas of many meats, their aroma is not too unique.

She tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xiao Zijin, and handed the other to Zhang Xinshu. Then she started eating.

The cooking skills of this restaurant are very good, and everything is cooked well, worthy of being a restaurant in the capital.

Especially the braised pork, the cooking time is just right, fat but not greasy, soft and smooth, and very fragrant.

Although everyone ate very quickly, they all tacitly ate half of the plate and kept the other half for Zhang Xinbai and Zhang Xinnian.

Zhao Yuanzhen touched her full stomach and took her share of thirst-quenching water to help them eat.

Zhang Xinnian and Zhang Xinbai entered the room, looked at the table full of dishes, and thought to themselves, "Why is my mother not coming over?" But the speed of their chopsticks dancing did not stop at all.

The two daughters-in-law felt a little embarrassed when they saw how fast their husbands ate. Was it the same way they ate just now?

The main reason is that the food my mother brought back was really delicious. The drink was also delicious. I have never tasted such delicious sweet water in my life. It was also iced. It was so cold in this weather that I felt comfortable drinking it.

Qian Xiaohui took two sips and then stopped. She decided to save it for her husband to drink tomorrow. Her husband was driving outside in a hot weather and he was working so hard. She felt sorry for him.

She was sitting in the carriage with nothing to do and it wasn't hot, so she just needed to drink some water.

Li Zhijuan also put away her drink. The two of them looked at each other's actions and smiled shyly.

After Zhang Xinnian and Zhang Xinbai finished their meal, they ate all the remaining dishes. Being strong and capable young men of their age, they ate a lot.

After the meal, the two found that there were sweet drinks and cold ice, and they felt that this life was too happy. This was not fleeing from famine, but enjoying life.

After finishing his meal, he walked out of the room with a satisfied look on his face, drinking the icy drink from a bamboo tube. It was a pity that he couldn't show off to Zhang Xinfu and the others, so he could only drink it secretly.

After resting for a while, in order not to delay their sword practice, the four of them lined up to fetch water.

Qian Xiaohui had already filled the water jar with boiling water. Now all she had to do was fill the water jar again.

The well in this yard is really deep, and even with so many people drawing water it hasn’t run dry yet.

You know, many people's wells have no water. The five taels of silver were not wasted.

Looking at his descendants fetching water, Zhao Yuanzhen lowered his head and smelled himself, smelling a sour smell of sweat.

I didn't take a shower before I fled. I've been traveling so fast these days. The weather is so hot that my sweat soaked my clothes. I dried them and then soaked them again. You can imagine how it smelled.

So, Zhao Yuanzhen asked her son to take out the big iron pot, clean it, and prepare to boil a large pot of water so that he could take a good bath.

Zhang Xinbai also fetched two buckets of cold water and placed them in the room where they were resting, so that they could use it to mix with the bath water when they took a bath.

Qian Xiaohui saw that his mother wanted to boil water for a bath, so he quickly lit the fire and brought the firewood over so that his mother only needed to add more firewood. After everything was done, he went to practice swordplay.

When they came back from sword practice, the water had already been boiled and was still warm in the pot. Zhao Yuanzhen took a larger basin, filled it with hot water, and moved it into the house.

The daughter-in-law stood at the door to hold it for her. But she forgot to put a bathtub in the space, so she couldn't take a good bath. The basin was a bit small.

But Zhao Yuanzhen still washed herself thoroughly and changed into clean linen clothes, and she felt comfortable and refreshed all over. She no longer felt sticky.

The two daughters-in-law then went into the house, took a shower and changed their clothes.

Everyone was quiet and didn't dare to make a big fuss. After all, it was a drought now and taking a bath was too luxurious.

Zhao Yuanzhen still slept in the carriage at night. It was quite comfortable to sleep in the carriage, at least it didn't smell bad.

It's a bit stuffy, it would be nice to have a skylight, but the current technology doesn't allow for good sealing, so I'm afraid it will leak when it rains.

After taking a shower, changing into clean clothes, drinking a cool drink, and sitting cross-legged comfortably, Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly felt that this moment was full of happiness.

She was woken up by the sound of everyone talking. She had a rare comfortable sleep and woke up late without realizing it.

By the time she packed up the carriage, everyone was already busy.

Qian Xiaohui was preparing to cook. She heated up the steamed buns and cooked porridge, and was about to take out some pickles.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought that they would be gone soon and would not have the chance to eat delicious food, so she quickly called Qian Xiaohui to wait for her to buy breakfast. She quickly put on her small backpack and prepared to buy some food.

There were already breakfast shops on the street that had opened for business. Zhao Yuanzhen could smell a familiar smell from afar and hurried over.

It was indeed mutton soup. As a northerner, I really love mutton soup.

I ordered seven bowls of mutton soup and 30 pieces of white meat with noodles, which is now called roujiamo.

Seven bowls of mutton soup cost 3500 wen, and 30 pieces of white meat with noodles cost 450 wen. After paying the bill, I hurried back.

On the way, I thought about it and bought a few bottles of Lao Gan Ma from the system. They were all packed in small ceramic jars that were in line with the Daliang Dynasty.

She missed the taste of Lao Gan Ma so much. She bought 500 more eggs. The eggs in the mall are all from modern chicken farms, and 500 eggs are worth one point.

Baozi took out another 50 buns.

After returning home, the whole family hid in the house and secretly drank mutton soup and ate roujiamo.

Satisfied, satisfied. Zhao Yuanzhen narrowed her eyes.

In the past, I ate wild vegetable porridge, whole grain porridge, whole grain cakes, pickles, and wild vegetables every day at home. After fleeing, I not only ate white flour buns and meat dumplings, but now I also have mutton soup and meat buns.

Not to mention the table full of delicious food last night.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little unreal. Are their family's living conditions so good now?

Zhao Yuanzhen glanced at them and said nothing. She continued to drink her mutton soup and eat her roujiamo. She also poured a spoonful of Lao Gan Ma on top. Perfect match.

Before setting off, everyone filled any water container with water, fed the animals with water, and filled their own stomachs before continuing on their journey.

After Zhao Yuanzhen finished teaching Xiao Zijin, she closed her eyes and pretended to take a nap, but she was actually shopping in the mall.

She wanted to see if there were any loyalty pills or something like that. She didn't want to explain, but she also didn't want to arouse unnecessary suspicion, so it would be best if she just obeyed unconditionally.

"System, do you have any loyalty pills?"

"Yes, host. 2 points per pill."

It really is. As expected, novels never lie to me.

"Then give me 6 pills."

I had more than 51 points before, and now I am going to lose 12.

At noon, during the break, she took out the loyalty pills.

My heart suddenly ached violently and I felt short of breath for a moment, but the pain went away just as quickly as it came.

Zhao Yuanzhen felt it carefully and found nothing unusual. She frowned.

Then he handed each person a pill and told them it was a summer-cooling pill. Everyone ate it without any suspicion.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at it and didn't seem to react. The system said it was just a pill similar to a Gu worm, which moved with her consciousness and had absolute loyalty.

It is not obvious at ordinary times, but once someone has the intention to murder her, she will fall into a coma at best, or die suddenly at worst.

Zhao Yuanzhen expressed her understanding and said that if she had known it was so useful, she would have used it earlier.

It is indeed foolish to hold the system and still not eat well. She felt bad for her throat that was inflamed by the dry biscuits.

She took out some cherry pancakes she bought yesterday from the drawer, put them on a small plate, put them on the small table, and brewed a pot of tea, signaling the others in the car to pour themselves.

This cherry fried dish is really good, sour and sweet, and it goes really well with a sip of tea.
