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

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't stay in her mother-in-law's cave for long before returning, mainly because they had little common topic.

I picked up two rabbits on the way back. Let’s eat them in the evening.

Back at the cave entrance, he jumped over the sandbag at the door and handed the rabbit to Qian Xiaohui. One of them ate spicy diced rabbit and the other ate ginger rabbit. Both were on the recipe. Qian Xiaohui could just learn by herself.

The rabbit is cut open from the mouth with neat movements, and then the skin is peeled off, so that the rabbit skin comes out in a relatively complete piece. It can be tanned later to make rabbit leather boots.

To cook the young ginger rabbit, first chop the rabbit into cubes, mix with white wine, scallion segments and ginger slices and marinate for 10 minutes.

After pickling, take out the onion and ginger, wash and drain, then add salt, sugar and soy sauce and mix well.

Add a little starch, stir well and marinate for ten minutes.

Cut ginger into shreds, green pepper, red pepper into shreds, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic slices, and some pickled peppers into slices. Heat oil in a pan, add diced rabbit, fry over high heat until 70% cooked, then remove from heat.

Put the bean paste, peppercorns, garlic slices, and pickled peppers in the pan and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the diced rabbit and stir-fry. Add the shredded ginger and stir-fry. Finally, add the green and red peppers. Add some soy sauce and stir-fry until cooked.

To make spicy rabbit, first dice the rabbit meat, wash and drain, add starch, pepper powder, white wine, and soy sauce, mix well and marinate for half an hour.

Heat the pan with oil, add green onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, bay leaf, onion, and coriander to make a seasoning oil, remove the seasoning residue. When the oil is hot, add the diced rabbit and start frying until it changes color, remove and set aside.

Leave some oil in the pan, add the dried peppercorns and fry for a few seconds. Then add the dried chilies, shredded ginger, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, tangerine peel, and fennel and stir-fry over high heat.

Then add soy sauce, pour the fried rabbit cubes into the pan and stir-fry until cooked, then you can serve.

The fragrant and spicy smell goes straight into my nose.

I took out some green vegetables and fried them with lard. I made a cucumber salad. Four dishes. Steamed rice.

We'll have dinner when the two people who dug the trap come back.

Everyone had a full dinner. The rabbit was cooked this way without any earthy smell. Everyone was very satisfied with the food.

Chili peppers go really well with rice. I will definitely plant more chili peppers when I settle down.

In the evening, some people practiced sword skills, and some studied medicine.

Then I cleaned up and went to bed.

In a daze, she seemed to hear bells ringing and horses neighing. Zhao Yuanzhen woke up immediately, put on her clothes and called everyone. The bells rang, and a wild beast invaded.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out a telescope with night vision function and saw pairs of green eyes, some bright and some dim in the darkness.

Wolf!

Wolves!

Zhao Yuanzhen looked through the telescope and found that there were wolves in several caves on their side, but she didn't know if there were any in other caves.

It was raining and torches could not be used, so Zhao Yuanzhen was now worried about the two horses.

Several people moved sandbags to make a path, drove two horses into the cave, and then put sandbags back on.

They all took out their swords and stood guard at the entrance of the cave, ready to fight at any time.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a gong and woke everyone up. Otherwise, it would be too late when the wolves invaded the cave.

Wearing a straw raincoat and holding a gong, Zhao Yuanzhen jumped out of the cave and walked towards the old house while beating the gong.

When the wolves heard the sound of the gong, they all stared at Zhao Yuanzhen. They started to attack slowly and then quickly, ready to pounce on her at any time.

When they reached the first trap, two wolves fell in and were pierced directly by the wooden spikes below.

The wolves then stopped and walked slowly.

Zhao Yuanzhen ran quickly, beating the gong and shouting, "The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming."

People in nearby caves got up one after another, and when they heard that the wolves were coming, they immediately began to prepare for battle.

Zhao Yuanzhen ran quickly and arrived at the entrance of the old house in just 6 minutes. Fortunately, there were no wolves at the old house for the time being.

Zhang Sandao and the village chief put on their clothes and ran out. They heard that there was a wolf pack attacking their cave, so they quickly organized people to provide support.

We can't all go, half of us have to stay to guard the cave entrance, wolves are cunning. If too many people leave, only the elderly, weak, women and children will be left, which is very dangerous.

Seeing the village chief's quick response in organizing people, Zhao Yuanzhen ran back.

When we were almost at the cave, the wolves were already approaching it.

Wolves are really cunning animals. Although they fell into several traps, they soon discovered the clues of the traps and jumped directly over the branches they encountered. They rarely fell into the trap again.

In the cave next to them, before they had time to dig a trap, the wolves had already arrived at the entrance of the cave. Both sides were quietly confronting each other, waiting for a signal to attack.

Suddenly, a wolf howl broke through the sound of rain and reached everyone's ears. As if they had received a horn of attack, the wolves began to bend and take an attacking stance.

Then another wolf howl was heard, and the wolves rushed into the cave.

The other caves had no flood-proof sandbags and were directly exposed to the attacks of the wolves.

Zhao Yuanzhen roughly counted and found that there were more than 50 wolves visible, evenly distributed in their caves, with about 10 in each cave.

The entrance to her cave was easy to defend and difficult to attack, there were more people, and they all had swords, and the trap at the entrance to her cave had killed several wolves. The pressure was relatively small and it was safer.

Zhao Yuanzhen raised his sword and rushed from behind the cave where there were no traps. With one leap he pierced a wolf's belly.

He quickly drew out his sword and chopped at the wolves that were quickly surrounding him.

The Yue girl sword technique is very powerful when fighting against a group of enemies, otherwise there wouldn't be the saying "one sword can break three thousand Yue armors."

She was well-equipped for both defense and offense. The wolves were at a loss as to what to do with her. They couldn't hurt her, but they were also hurt by her and became a little irritable.

Seeing the wolves attacking Zhao Yuanzhen, the people in the cave came out with weapons to help. More than 10 men came out of the cave, and together with Zhao Yuanzhen, they quickly killed all the wolves in front of the cave.

The crowd left two people behind to defend, and the others went to other caves to help.

Zhang Xinbai also came to help. With everyone waiting for the wolf to come, they quickly killed seven wolves. The others stayed in the cave, and he came out to see his mother.

Soon the reinforcements organized by the village chief arrived, and everyone started to fight back. In less than half an hour, the attacking wolves were almost wiped out. The few that remained quickly retreated at the sound of the wolf howls.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked in the direction where the wolves retreated. That should be the position of the wolf king. But now the rain blocked her vision and hearing, which was not good for her, so she did not rush to chase after them.

Everyone dragged the wolf corpses into the cave. Because the rain washed away the blood on the ground, there was not much bloody smell left.

The village doctor began to bandage and clean everyone's wounds. Fortunately, the discovery was timely and no one died. Only a few were bitten more severely.

Zhao Yuanzhen ordered Zhang Xinbai to bring a jar of wine and let those who were bitten or scratched by wolves use the wine to clean the wounds, and then apply medicine and bandage them.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, he returned to the cave, leaving them to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounds.

After returning, everyone checked the cave entrance and let the horses out again.

Qian Xiaohui's arm was scratched by the wolf's fangs. The wound was not big, but it was bleeding.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out an alcohol cotton pad and anti-inflammatory medicine to clean her wound, applied medicine, and finally bandaged it with gauze. She told her not to touch water recently.

Wolves are cunning and vengeful creatures. They probably won't come again today. But that may not be the case tomorrow or later. I have to be more careful next time.

Seeing that everything was fine, everyone went back to sleep.

After being tormented by the wolves last night, everyone got up late the next day.

The rain still didn't stop, but it was a little lighter.

For breakfast, Zhao Yuanzhen took a jug of milk and gave it to Li Zhijuan. She also took out 20 sandwiches, some with chicken, some with beef, some with ham and some with eggs. She ordered all kinds of flavors.

The milk was heated up and everyone drank it and ate sandwiches.

Zhao Yuanzhen was full after eating two.

Others were surprised and delighted by this new food. The pancake with vegetables and meat was soft and tasted completely different from the pancakes we usually eat. It tasted a bit sweet, as if sugar was added.

Zhang Xinnian and Zhang Xinbai are the food disappearing machines. Every time they take out some food, they are the ones who finish it up. This time is no exception.

After dinner, the village chief came over and asked them to get the wolf's body.

The wolves that were killed yesterday were temporarily dragged into the cave by everyone, and today we will start to settle the accounts and divide them.

The animals at the entrance of Zhao Yuanzhen's cave and in the trap were all killed by her family alone, so they belonged to them.

In the other caves, each household received one wolf for each person who came out to kill it, and there were about 10 left. The village chief meant to give them to her because she was the first to discover the wolves and she killed the most.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought about it and decided that it was not fair to give each household a share of the wolf kills, because some of them stayed behind to guard the house.

She doesn't like wolf meat. Although she has never eaten it, she heard that it is very tough and not very tasty. So she doesn't plan to eat it. The main reason is that she still has more than ten at home. It would be a pity if there are too many to handle and it goes bad.

So, the village chief was asked to distribute the remaining wolf to the people who stayed at the cave entrance, but their number was not as large as those who came out to kill the wolves.

Everyone was very happy. No wolf was killed, but those who were assigned to guard the cave entrance were also very happy. They could eat meat.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the more than ten wolf carcasses in her home and felt a little worried. Although the temperature had dropped due to the rain, the carcasses would still go bad if left for too long.

So I kept one and sold the others to the system.

The system charges 1500 points per piece, and 11 were recovered, so there are still more than 7 points.

Put the remaining one away first. Zhang Xinbai and Zhang Xinnian went to dig a trap again. Although wolves are cunning, the trap can still withstand a wave of attacks. Let's wait until they finish digging the trap before collecting the wolf meat.

The wolf's body was temporarily disposed of. Zhao Yuanzhen began to continue to teach Xiao Zijin.

After enlightenment, we start learning arithmetic.

Yesterday's addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were consolidated again. Today I plan to teach them how to use an abacus.

I bought five abacuses and gave one to each person.

This is the most common abacus that Zhao Yuanzhen bought. It is 30 centimeters long and 14 centimeters wide. The abacus can be carried with you at any time and put in your sleeves, which is very convenient.

The wooden frame, bamboo poles, and beads are also made of wood, but they are all polished very smooth and painted with wood grain paint.

Several people were curious and dialed the numbers back and forth. In the past, when I went to the county to buy things, I watched the shopkeepers use abacus to calculate the accounts. I felt that they were very impressive and unattainable.

Unexpectedly, now they can also learn to use abacus, and each of them can have their own little abacus.
