Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

Xu Daha exhaled a puff of mist, his whole face full of shock and excitement, "Oh my god, this is ice?!"

Xu Ning gave the good portion in his hand to Zhang first, "Mom, you try it too!"

"Dad, this is smoothie, it must be made of ice! It tastes good, right?" Xu Ning served two more bowls, gave one to Dad Xu first, and then took the first bite himself.

It's cool and sweet, and after one sip I feel like all the heat in my body has gone away.

"Daya, did you make this ice?" Xu Da's face was full of disbelief. Xu Ning nodded while eating. Old Man Xu stopped after taking two bites and told Xu Da and his wife everything that happened in the morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu, like Old Man Xu, thought that this was magic that only gods could do.

Xu Ning had no choice but to explain the principle of ice-making again, but they still didn't believe it, so Xu Ning just let them do what they wanted.

After Xu Ning finished his portion of the smoothie, he put the rest into a bamboo tube and asked the Xu couple to take it to Old Lady Xu and the second child of the Xu family to try.

Then Xu Ning continued to stir her ice cubes, prying the solidified ice out of the basin, and pouring water into it to continue making ice.

When Old Lady Xu and the others came back at noon, Xu Ning had already made a large basin of ice cubes of different sizes.

Of course, this is not made from one pot of saltpeter, but from three pots of saltpeter.

In order to make ice quickly, Xu Ning not only replaced two basins of saltpeter, but also specially replaced two small copper basins and placed them in the middle of the saltpeter, so that the ice would solidify much faster!

"Sister, it's so cool inside!" Xu Xiaobao touched the edge of the ice basin and screamed excitedly.

Xu Ning had already frozen some fruits in a basin. She asked Xu Xiaobao to wash his hands and personally handed him an apple.

"Thank you, sister!" Xu Xiaobao held the red apple in his hand and was reluctant to eat it. He had never seen such a big apple and was afraid that it would be gone after he finished eating it.

As if seeing through Xu Xiaobao's thoughts, Xu Ning touched his little head and said, "Eat quickly, Xiaobao. Sister has more apples here! Apples will go bad if you don't eat them. Bad apples can only be eaten by bugs."

Xu Xiaobao quickly took a bite, and the sweet taste made him squint his eyes with joy!

"good to eat!"

"It's delicious, just eat more!"

"Daya, you're a girl, you can't eat too much ice. It's not good for you." Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that she wouldn't keep a close eye on him and Xu Ning would eat too much ice.

"Got it, grandma. Come and try the lychees. These are Cantonese lychees. Most people can't eat them!"

"Brother, don't just stand there. Take what you want to eat. These are prepared for everyone!" The weather was so hot that it was really impossible to eat hot meals. Old Mrs. Xu and the others came back just to rest. The temperature outside was not suitable for anyone to stay in.

Zhang and Xu Da went out to turn over and dry the mushrooms and came back sweating. They only recovered after drinking a sip of water in an ice basin.

"Mom, let's go out later this afternoon. I think the weather is like this, the mushrooms can be dried in one day. The mushrooms outside are probably dried up too, so there aren't many left to pick. Let's see if there are any wild vegetables later and pick as many as we can."

Old Mrs. Xu peeled the lychees that Xu Ning handed to her and took a look at the wild vegetables, mushrooms and dried meat in the cave. If they were frugal, these things would be enough for them to eat for a month or two.

If we walk faster, we should be able to reach the southern border. The weather is very hot again, unlike the rain a few days ago, which made it cooler. If we go out in this weather, we will probably get a heat stroke.

"Then I'll go out and have a look later. Come and have some fruit!"

Xu Ning took out a bag of mung beans from the treasure box and handed it to Zhang. Before she opened her mouth to say anything, Old Lady Xu stuffed the peeled lychees into her mouth.

"So sweet!" As expected, the system's products must be top-notch. Xu Ning enjoyed eating the fruit in his mouth and quickly said to Zhang: "Mom, make a pot of mung bean soup and put some yam in it. It will help relieve the heat in this weather!"

Xu Ning turned to look at Old Lady Xu, "Grandma, don't peel it for me, you eat it, let it cool down quickly!"

Zhang also looked at Old Lady Xu. Only after Old Lady Xu nodded did Zhang take the mung beans and a brick-sized piece of rock sugar that Xu Ning had taken out and cook them.

"Wow, are the rock sugars from the gods so big?" Xu Da was peeling a lychee and was almost choked by the shell.

Xu Dabao was also stunned. He picked an apple, took a bite and held it in his mouth for a long time, not wanting to swallow it. He chewed it after a while and it tasted sweet and sour. When it had no taste, he chewed it again. It took him half an hour to eat one apple.

Xu Ning saw that the apple had changed color several times. He urged Xu Dabao several times, but he was still the same. Xu Ning was full and didn't care about him anymore. When Xu Ning woke up, he found that Xu Dabao had eaten the entire apple core.

"Brother, you can't eat apple cores, they are poisonous. Grandma, please talk to him, we have so much food at home!" Xu Ning was so angry. Why was the whole family so stubborn?

Xu Ning has taught the Xu couple how to make ice. Now, except for taking something out occasionally, she basically eats and sleeps all the time.

When Xu Ning had nothing to do, she started teaching the second baby of the Xu family how to identify edible things. She took out an encyclopedia and taught the second baby Arabic numerals.

By the time Old Lady Xu gave the order to set off, the second child of the Xu family and the adults could already do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within ten. At the same time, Xu Ning's task progress had reached 20%.

On the morning of leaving the valley, everyone in the Xu family was reluctant to leave. As Xu Da walked away, carrying the pots and pans on his back, he looked back every few steps.

The Xu family followed the marks left by Li the hunter and walked all the way. There were not many people along the way. When they reached the main road, there were more people. The Xu family members protected Xu Ning in the middle.

Xu Ning was carrying a small backpack, which contained a small box, a small bamboo bow given to her by Li the Hunter, and dozens of small bamboo arrows made by Xu Da.

The other members of the Xu family, including Xu Xiaobao, each carried a backpack containing water and an appropriate amount of dried wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Old Mrs. Xu was also carrying a bag containing a set of spare clothes for the entire family.

Zhang carried bedding, while Old Man Xu carried hay in his backpack.

There was some firewood in Xu Dabao's backpack, and a small bundle of yam was hidden under the firewood.

Other items like dried meat, dried wild vegetables and dried mushrooms were put into the treasure box.

In order to avoid danger in time, Xu Ning made a telescope with a small piece of bamboo and two pieces of glass, which was hung around her neck at this time.

There were fewer refugees on the road than before the Xu family entered the valley. After Xu Da inquired, he found out that Yuncheng had taken in quite a few refugees, and many of them had chosen to stay.

However, the Xu family decided to go south because they knew that the drought would not go away all at once. Instead of waiting for the situation to improve, it would be better to go to the south and start over.

The Xu family’s original place in Xujia Village has not been sold. If the situation really gets better one day, they can come back.

"Daya, we're going to eat wild vegetables these days. Just bear with it for now. If you can't help it, tell grandma secretly and I'll cover for you and eat some."
