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

After looking through the two account books, everyone felt that the Arabic numerals were very simple and easy to understand at a glance.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought about it and decided to use Arabic numerals for internal circulation.

Then the external data can be recorded in Chinese characters, but it can be made into a table. On the basis of the original, it can be improved and innovated.

Take out modern account books and teach them how to make tables and keep accounts.

The account books of the Daliang Dynasty are written in four-column format. They are very simple. You can remember them after reading them a few times.

After studying for a whole morning, several people basically learned how to keep accounts. All that was left was to practice more so that they could check the accounts.

Zhao Yuanzhen watched them study, put on her raincoat, and prepared to go see what the green dots were doing.

Today I was familiar with the map and arrived in less than an hour.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out a telescope and observed for a while. There was no movement and no one at the cave entrance.

I walked towards the cave with a little confusion.

I didn't see anyone coming out until I walked into the cave.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked inside.

She lay down and tried to call out a few times, but he didn't wake up.

Something was not right, so I touched the man's arm and took his pulse. He was slightly poisoned and in a coma.

Wolfsbane!

I didn't expect the smoke to last so long and be so toxic. The remaining smoke was enough to make so many people fall asleep. There were more than 200 refugees gathered in the cave.

I took a few more pulses and found nothing serious. The patient would wake up in the early morning or evening.

Looking at the people lying there, Zhao Yuanzhen looked carefully to make sure that no one was awake.

They found a secluded cave and took out more than 2000 kilograms of grains, which were originally collected from the bandit's lair.

The flood was so fierce that it did not give people any chance to prepare. Most people were washed away by the flood. Those who managed to escape alive were lucky. They were basically left with nothing.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out a large iron pot and a lot of bamboo tubes, and used them to make some porridge for them.

There was no need to worry about someone embezzling the food. Basically, everyone woke up at about the same time.

Secondly, it is raining now, so it is difficult to transport food. If not handled properly, the food will get moldy after being exposed to the rain.

We have to get some firewood, otherwise the refugees probably won’t be able to find any on this rainy day.

I bought 10 bundles of firewood at the mall and placed them next to the rice bag.

The reason why her family picked up a lot of firewood was mainly for the villagers to see. Her family had no shortage of firewood because they picked up a lot.

I looked again and found nothing I needed. So I went back.

It was almost noon when they arrived at the cave, and Zhao Yuanzhen decided to eat Caiyunzhinan's food.

Ask them to steam the rice.

Then I got the Dai-style stir-fried beef, fish cooked with passion fruit, pickled vegetable and red bean soup, stinky tofu fried with Chinese spinach, fried beef jerky with oil, stir-fried meat with pickled vegetables, and a piece of old potato.

Wow. I miss my favorite pickled vegetables fried with meat and pickled vegetables red bean soup.

I feel like my saliva is watering like crazy.

After loading the rice, we started eating.

Everyone likes this cuisine very much. They always think that the taste is very special, but also very delicious. This stinky tofu smells stinky, but tastes so delicious.

"This cuisine has many special dishes, some made with flowers, some made with various mushrooms, and some made with various wild vegetables. They are all delicious. I'll look for the recipe and show it to you later."

"Okay, Mom, I like this cuisine too."

Qian Xiaohui also likes this cuisine. This pickled vegetable and red bean soup is sour and goes well with rice. The ingredients are also very simple. She thinks she can cook it often in the future.

After dinner, everyone took a nap, and there was still night duty at night. Of course, the night duty at home was cancelled.

Those little green dots probably don't have the energy to struggle today.

I can sleep well today. Tonight is Christmas Eve.

After waking up from a nap, several people started to practice swordplay. They had to patrol at night, so they had nothing to do in the afternoon, so they could practice swordplay first. They couldn't slack off.

Zhao Yuanzhen continued to study her medical skills.

Just like this, the entire afternoon passed slowly.

In the evening, Zhao Yuanzhen asked them if they wanted to eat anything.

Everyone shook their heads. They said, "Eat whatever mom says. It's a blessing to be able to have a full stomach and not be picky about food. How can you be picky about food?"

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the people who were shaking their heads, sighed helplessly, and could only find a solution herself.

Well, let’s eat spring rolls. I haven’t eaten spring rolls for a long time.

The food supplement book had a recipe for spring pancakes, so Zhao Yuanzhen selected a few side dishes and took out the ingredients for them to make, so they could practice their cooking skills at the same time.

Shredded potatoes are a must, as are shredded pork with Beijing sauce, stir-fried dishes, stir-fried shredded pork with sauerkraut, and a platter of shredded cucumbers, scallions and sauce.

perfect.

I started to get the ingredients according to the recipe: potatoes, pork belly, cabbage, carrots, sauerkraut, cucumber, onion, sauce,

These spring roll side dishes are relatively simple stir-fried dishes and are not difficult to make.

It didn't take long before the meal was served.

Take out a thin pancake, spread it on the plate, brush it with a layer of sauce first, then put shredded potatoes, shredded meat, mixed vegetables, and then put cucumbers and shredded green onions.

Use chopsticks to roll up from one side.

Roll it into a tight little roll and take a bite from one end. The chewy pancake, various side dishes and the fragrance of cucumber fill the whole mouth. Love it.

Sure enough, I was right to listen to my mother. Everything she picked was delicious, and there were many combinations I had never tried before. I love it.

After dinner, the duo took a stroll, got some water, fed the horses, and went to bed.

Except for the first day when they used rainwater to bathe, Zhao Yuanzhen bought all the water for the family. To be honest, she felt that using rainwater was unhygienic.

Since you have the conditions, you should be nicer to yourself.

The others were practicing calligraphy quietly. I always felt that such a life was good and comfortable.

But they also know that it is just a thought. They cannot rely on their mothers for everything. They need to have their own survival efforts and survival skills.

Zhao Yuanzhen quietly studied Chinese medicine.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, I soaked my feet in dried mugwort and went to bed.

Before going to bed, I looked at the little green dots. I found that some of them were moving, but the distance they moved was not far, and you couldn't see them unless you looked carefully.

The other little green dots are all quiet. They probably haven't woken up yet.

Zhao Yuanzhen slept peacefully.

When Zhao Yuanzhen woke up the next day, she first looked at the little green dots. They were moving a lot more, so she estimated that almost everyone was awake.

Then get up and wash up.

He first took out the milk and gave it to Li Zhijuan, and then thought about what to eat for breakfast.

The rain will probably stop this afternoon. I'm afraid that the comfortable days of hiding in the cave and eating whatever I want will end. I have to take a good look at what I want to eat.

I thought about it. I still have the shepherd's purse wontons and sesame cakes I bought before.

He took out 15 bowls of wontons and 20 sesame cakes.

After being stored for so long, it was still steaming hot when I took it out. I ate it directly from the bamboo tube.

There was no seaweed or dried shrimp in this era.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought a can of dried shrimps and a bag of seaweed, opened them and put them in a bamboo tube, then added a spoonful of dried shrimps and some vinegar.

After shaking it slightly, I covered it with the lid and simmered it for one minute. Then I opened the bamboo tube and added a spoonful of chili.

Mm, it tastes like sour soup wontons.

The others also followed their mother's example and made wontons. Xiao Zijin didn't add chili peppers because he was still young and couldn't handle spicy food.

I feel that the wonton soup with seaweed and dried shrimps is more fresh. It is sour and spicy. It is more delicious.

Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan started to boil water after dinner to wash and scald the bamboo tube so that it would be cleaner.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked back and forth in the cave to digest her breakfast.

Seeing that everyone has finished their work, let's start the enlightenment. Today we will learn the Hundred Family Surnames.

"The Hundred Family Surnames contains a total of 504 surnames, including 444 single surnames and 60 double surnames. These are just the ones that have been recorded. Some of the more remote and uncommon ones may not be included here."

"Single surnames are just one character, like your Zhang and my Zhao. Compound surnames are two or more characters, such as Xuanyuan and Huangpu. Some ethnic minorities may have more characters."

"Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang..."

"We will learn the first 100 words today. You don't need to memorize them all. You just need to recognize and remember them."

"Here are a few books on the Hundred Family Surnames. Take one for each of you. Look for the names on your own. If you don't understand something, you can ask each other or ask me."

In this way, everyone learned the Hundred Family Surnames, and Zhao Yuanzhen studied medicine.

Occasionally glance outside the cave.

Ok?

The rain stopped.

I thought the rain would stop in the afternoon, but it stopped around noon.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the time. It was half past ten.

I have to cook something less smelly for lunch.

When it rains, people may come here at any time. There is no rain curtain to block the smell, and we are afraid that the smell will spread to other caves.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought, let’s steam the buns, steam more, so that we can eat them on the way back.

Steamed buns, some egg drop soup, two cold dishes, and some cooked food. The combination of meat and vegetables is just right.

When my mother told us to steam the buns, we all got started. The two of us were strong and started kneading the dough. We kneaded two bowls of dough because we wanted to steam more buns. Now that the weather has cooled down, the buns can be kept for two more days.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out 20 eggs to make soup, and then took out some potatoes to make cold potato shreds.

Take out some bitter melon and mix it with cold sauce. Take some braised beef and pig's trotters. Cut them up and put them on the plate.

Hand it to them and prepare it.

She wants to go out and take a look.

The rain finally stopped. It had been raining for a long time.

Although the rain had stopped, the road was not easy to walk on. It was very muddy. And judging from the sound, the flood had not receded yet, so their village would probably have to rest for two more days.

When the flood recedes, the land will be dried up and easier to walk on.

Looking into the distance, it seems that the greenness is a little more dense, probably some weeds and wild vegetables that were not affected by the mountain torrents.

This way, you can come here to pick some wild vegetables in the afternoon. You can also look for mushrooms. There should be mushrooms after the rain, but the probability is not high. You can try your luck.

Zhao Yuanzhen also pulled the horse out from the awning for a ride.

Leading the horse, she walked aimlessly around the cave, following the horse wherever it went to eat grass.

After about an hour, the horse stopped eating grass in a hurry, probably because it was full.

Zhao Yuanzhen took them back.
