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

We dug hard for the whole morning, and the heavy rain never stopped. Our raincoats were soaked through.

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly asked everyone to go into the cave and take off their raincoats to drain the water.

There were too many people to fit in the cave, so the rest were put in the awning that had been built earlier. Zhao Yuanzhen's family didn't have that many bowls, so they had to eat in batches. There was a small table in the middle, and the four pots of food were placed on the table.

There was a large bucket of rice on the ground next to it, and a large bucket of rice soup.

Everyone stood with their bowls, put more dishes in the bowls, and added more food after finishing their meal.

Everyone was very satisfied with the food. Since the drought began and the harvest was low, they rarely ate dry rice.

Aunt Qinghe was a very honest person, and she even cooked some rice for them. The portions of the dishes were quite generous, and there was not a little meat.

Everyone was thinking about the people who hadn't eaten yet, so they ate quickly and drank a bowl of hot rice soup after eating. The fatigue from working all morning and the chill from the rain were all gone.

In this way, everyone took turns to eat, and after eating, they put on their straw raincoats and went to dig holes.

The lunch was filling and filling. In the afternoon, everyone dug traps much faster.

The big bucket of rice and four big pots of food were all eaten, but several people at home had not yet eaten.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out 10 packets of instant noodles, handed them to Qian Xiaohui, and told her how to cook the noodles. She also took out 10 eggs and poached them in the noodles.

Because of the rain, the overbearing aroma of the instant noodles did not travel far before being dispersed in the rain and fog.

They had never smelled this kind of fragrance before, and it penetrated their noses very aggressively. Moreover, the dry biscuits softened after being put in the pot for a while. It cooked faster than the hand-rolled noodles they usually made.

"You don't need to cook it in a pot. Just put it in a bowl and pour boiling water over it. It will be cooked in 3 minutes."

Zhao Yuanzhen still thinks boiled instant noodles taste better.

"This is so convenient. Mom, if we can make it, it will definitely be a hot seller. This way, everyone can quickly have a bite of hot food when they go out."

Li Zhijuan immediately discovered this huge business opportunity.

"Yeah, that's right. When dad and his friends were escorting goods, they all ate dry biscuits. And I think this flour biscuit is dry, light and easy to carry. It will definitely sell well."

Qian Xiaohui also thought it was feasible.

"This is easy to make. I'll find a recipe for you later."

Instant noodles are relatively simple to make. You can try it once it becomes stable. If you promote it, it will really make travel more convenient for everyone.

I ate all the instant noodles and drank all the soup. This noodle tastes better than the sauerkraut noodles.

Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan took the instant noodle recipe and started to study it. It is not difficult to make the noodle cake.

The texture can be removed by simply pinching with chopsticks. However, this seasoning packet and sauce packet require a lot of materials, and there is no packaging bag. What do you need to find to pack it?

Ceramic jars are too expensive, and oilcloth is too thick and heavy. Well, a bamboo tube made of fine bamboo will do. Put all the seasonings in it, and then use oilcloth to pad the stopper. It should be about the same.

You can try it when you come across a bamboo forest in the future.

I think water hyacinth is also OK, I just want the small kind. It's small, and you can put seasoning in it after hollowing it out.

Everyone was talking about it.

Zhao Yuanzhen listened quietly. This was the unique life wisdom of people of their time.

People in modern society are exposed to all kinds of advanced technologies and materials, and their brains are really not as smart as those of the natives in these aspects.

Maybe because we had a big lunch, we were strong and finished the digging in just half an afternoon. We went to the next cave to continue digging.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a nap at noon. It was really suitable to sleep wrapped in a quilt on rainy days.

Rainy days are not only suitable for sleeping, but also for eating hot pot. In the Daliang Dynasty, there was already a food similar to hot pot. They were called Boxia Gong.

Because the meat slices or vegetables are constantly moved in the pot, their color looks like clouds, so it is named "Bo Xia Gong".

Everyone was very enthusiastic when they heard that they would have Bo Xia Gong in the evening. They had only heard of it but had never tasted it.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out a ceramic simmering pot. She was going to make a tomato pot and a spicy pot.

He placed the shabu-shabu pot on the small clay stove and took out the charcoal he had received from the county magistrate and lit it.

I bought the same seasoning package for the soup base from a certain restaurant.

Then start choosing hot pot dishes.

One pound of fresh-cut lamb hind legs, one pound of lamb meat, one pound of fresh rib rolls, one pound of lamb brain, and one pound of fat lamb.

One pound of beef tops, one pound of beef fat, one pound of beef cubes, two pounds of tripe, two pounds of tripe, two boxes of luncheon meat, a large plate of crispy pork, a large plate of shrimp slips, and a large plate of yellow throat.

A large plate of wide noodles, a large plate of rattan rolls, a large plate of fried bean curd skin, and a large plate of tofu.

Have a portion of enoki mushrooms, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, yam, sweet potato, winter melon, tribute vegetable, baby cabbage, and tomato.

For dipping sauces, you can have a portion of green onions, minced garlic, sesame paste, chili oil, beef chili sauce, coriander, fermented bean curd, chives, etc. Everyone can mix what they like.

Several people were cutting meat, washing vegetables, slicing food, and arranging the dishes.

By the time we were busy getting everything ready, it was already past five o'clock. We just had to wait for our two sons who were out digging traps to come back before we could start eating.

I boiled a pot of sour plum soup and took out a large bucket of sparkling water.

After waiting for less than half an hour, Zhang Xinbai and Zhang Xinnian came back.

In the afternoon, five families dug a cave together to dig water, but none of the five families were willing to provide food. After all, 5 people really need a lot of food. So the two of them came back to eat.

They took off their raincoats and hung them at the cave entrance to drain the water. They changed into new clothes because they had been in the rain for too long and the raincoats were soaked.

After cleaning up, I found a Bagua-shaped ceramic pot on the table. There was also a one-meter-long, five-layer shelf next to the table, with a lot of vegetables on it. Some of them were familiar, and some were not.

"Mom, what delicious food are we going to eat tonight? It's so sumptuous!"

Zhang Xinnian ran over with a smile on his face. He was about to enjoy another delicious meal. Anything produced by my mother must be top quality.

"Mom said we want to eat Bo Xia Gong, also known as hot pot. Come and sit down, we're waiting for you two."

"Mom, how do I eat this?"

"First, prepare the soul dipping sauce. You can make it according to your own preferences. Like me, I put sesame paste, chopped green onions, mashed garlic, chives, and chili oil. It's quite spicy, so you should be careful."

Zhao Yuanzhen prepared a sesame sauce dipping sauce for herself, which is loved by people in the north.

Everyone followed her mother's example and also prepared the dipping sauce, some put chili in it and some did not.

Put all kinds of beef and mutton into the pot first. This one is cut thinly and cooks quickly. Zhao Yuanzhen shouted that it was time to eat and picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks.

Hmm, I miss sesame paste and lamb.

"Mom, this sesame paste smells so good. It has the aroma of sesame."

"Well, sesame paste is made from sesame seeds and peanuts."

"What is this bubble book? It's so comfortable to drink, and it makes my tongue bounce a little. My mouth feels numb, but it's sweet and delicious."

Hahahaha, boy, that’s Fatty’s happy water.

"This mutton doesn't have any mutton smell, and when you dip it in this soul sauce, you'll feel full of happiness."

“Is this tripe? It tastes surprisingly delicious.” In the past, they were reluctant to eat offal because it was not cooked well and had a strong fishy smell.

"Yes, that's right. The tripe, tripe, and throat of the cow are all good. You can try them."

"What is this long, burnt yellow strip? Cook it and eat it quickly. It's also delicious when eaten directly."

"That's crispy pork, which is pork cut into strips, coated with starch and egg liquid and deep-fried in a pan."

"This red slice of meat is also delicious."

"That's luncheon meat."

"This meat paste is so delicious!"

"That's shrimp paste, which is big shrimp. Wash it, remove the shrimp thread, cut off the head, remove the shell, and chop it into meat paste."

"Prawns? Are they those little bugs in the river?"

"That should be the case. I haven't seen the type you're talking about. I'll tell you when I see it."

"After boiling, this roll is full of soup and tastes delicious."

“That’s a bell roll.”

"I think this cabbage is delicious. I didn't know cabbage could be so delicious before."

"And this sweet potato, it's soft and chewy when you boil it, and it's also delicious."

"This mushroom has a special aroma, too. It tastes better than other mushrooms."

“That’s shiitake mushrooms.”

. . . . . .

Everyone was eating the hotpot enthusiastically, and the last bit of soup was eaten up by the brothers with noodles.

Zhao Yuanzhen was the first to be defeated and was unable to defeat them.

Feeling his full stomach, Zhao Yuanzhen strolled back and forth in the cave.

Zhang Xinnian touched her belly and imitated her mother in strolling.

"If I could eat something this delicious every day, it would be worth dying for."

"Pah, pah, pah, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death"

"Oh, oh, oh, my wife, let go, let go, my ears are going to fall off."

"Hmph. I told you not to talk nonsense."

Zhang Xinnian touched his ears and quickly hid away, taking hay and a basin of water to feed the horse.

After they cleared the dishes and washed the dishes, they filled his mother's big teapot with water, and then went to practice sword fighting with each other.

Zhao Yuanzhen watched them practicing sword skills and wondered out of boredom whether she should learn something too.

After thinking for a long time, I decided to learn some medical skills.

Click to see medical skills: 38W.

outrageous.

However, Chinese medicine is profound and requires many courses to learn, so the price is understandable.

But, my heart still hurts.

He still had more than 34 points, which was not enough, so he took out more than 10 silver notes to exchange for points.

This course starts with herbs, and begins with learning about herbs.

Looking at the old man Bian Que who meticulously introduced each herb in his sea of ​​consciousness, Zhao Yuanzhen instantly felt that the 34 points were worth it. This was the miraculous doctor Bian Que.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not like sword moves, which have a set of fixed moves. People eat grains, and their bodies are entangled with all kinds of factors, both congenital and acquired, from conception to birth.

The diseases you get are not necessarily the ones that grow on the trees you learn, so there are many courses to learn.

Now I am just learning about herbal medicine, and later I will have courses on pharmacology, observation, auscultation, body acupoints, prescriptions, practice, etc.

According to the different ratios of time spent in the sea of ​​consciousness and the outside world, Zhao Yuanzhen will need to study these courses for half a month.

There will be something to do in the future.
