The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

When Shen Zhiqiu and the others came back, it was already late at night and the palm trees had not been cut yet, so they had to go again the next night.

It was so late and the cave was quiet. Except for the few people on duty, everyone was lying down and sleeping.

They had just stood in front of the fire, intending to warm themselves by the fire to drive away the cold, when a muffled voice was heard in the cave.

Master Shen lowered his voice and said, "Little Sanzi, you're back!"

Shen Zhiqiu lowered his voice for fear of waking the child, "Grandpa, I'm back. Go to bed. It's getting late."

Old Lady Hua, Old Father Shen, and even Li Jingshu could not sleep soundly, thinking about the people who had left.

Shen Zhiqiu warmed himself by the fire first, then quietly walked over to greet his mother, father, and his wife, fearing that the cold air from his body would rush to them.

As for his two little darlings, the elder sister hugged the younger brother and slept soundly, not caring at all when their father would come back.

After a quick tidy up, the men fell asleep, but there were still people on night duty, so those who did not go to cut palm trees today took turns on duty.

Once the cave is cleaned up and the cave entrance is finished, there will be no need to stand guard like this. All you need to do is pay attention to the movements outside when you sleep. But you will still have to work hard for a few days.

I fell into sleep directly after lying down. What a feeling! My aching body felt relaxed the moment I lay down, as if I was bathing in holy light. It was so comfortable.

Nothing happened that night. The women were the first to get up the next day. What they saw outside the cave was bamboo baskets filled with palm fruits and palm peels tied into square blocks, piled up like a small mountain.

Li Jingshu looked at the palm fruits and said softly to her elder sister-in-law and the others: "Let's cook two pots of palm fruits today. They are sweet and can replenish sugar. The adults should eat some too. Otherwise, the body will not be able to bear such hard work."

She still has a modern mindset. She eats a combination of meat and vegetables, eats a little bit of everything, and gets a full nutritional boost.

No one opposed this proposal. It was all for everyone's health. There was no one in Shenjia Village who didn't know what was good for them.

The big pot was always placed at the entrance of the cave. They were not afraid of being stolen in the wild mountains and wilderness. There were also people watching at night, and no wild animals would steal their things.

This saved the time of setting up the stove and pots. The women were so busy that the pancake maker never straightened his back.

At least a thousand pancakes have to be made to be enough for their breakfast and lunch meals.

This is why the old ladies feel that no matter how much food they eat, it is not enough. There are too many people waiting to eat.

The saying "teenagers can eat their father out of poverty" is not said in vain. Sometimes teenagers can eat more than strong men, but children are growing, so even if you don't let them eat enough, at least they should be fed until they are 70% full.

As for why we don’t steam dry food, it’s because grass seed flour and wild cotton don’t taste good when steamed.

If it's still hard when it's cold, it's better to eat it as a pancake, which is still soft when it's cold.

But there is no need to cook today. Last night, after Li Jingshu and the other men went out, they cooked four pots of hand-peeled bamboo shoots. It’s not really hand-peeled bamboo shoots, because you don’t need to peel them at all. They are all peeled sour bamboo shoots, and you can eat them directly.

If you eat it nowadays, you will definitely feel that it is not as crispy, tender, fresh and sweet as spring bamboo shoots, but for them, it is already a rare dish to go with rice.

Meat can be stored, but it is still necessary to save some food, just like her daughter said before going to bed yesterday: "Mom, I am just thinking about whether we can have a meal of dumplings on the New Year's Day in this cave. I don't want to think about anything else."

She was so scared that she quickly asked her daughter to stop, she said: Your dream is already too big for us now, it is impossible at all,

Yes, there is grass seed flour, quite a lot of it, that is what we collect on the road, but look at how much we get in a day, if you count these,

I guess I won’t be able to eat it during the Chinese New Year. And let me tell you, grass seed flour can’t be used to make dumplings. It’s simply not enough to wrap the filling. There’s not much wild cotton left.

If you make a small wish, your father and I might be able to try to make it come true for you. But this wish won't work, and you are not allowed to tell your father. Your father is used to helping you fulfill your wishes, so don't make it difficult for him.

At that time, she was silent about what she said to her daughter, which made her feel a little sorry for the child. It was not easy for the child, as her body became smaller and she was considered a child.

Besides, they didn’t want anything else, they just wanted to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. If it were in modern times, they would not be happy to eat anything during the Chinese New Year, but they really can’t do it now!

Thinking of this, Li Jingshu felt full of guilt as he looked at his daughter who was still practicing martial arts.

But Shen Youyou didn't think so. She listened to her mother and decided to work hard to search for supplies every day so that everyone could at least have a bowl of dumplings during the New Year.

As for what to use to make dumplings, is there wild wheat in the mountains? This may be because birds eat wheat and there are undigested seeds in their poop, which forms wild wheat.

But that was just to see how many there were, so her goal was Pueraria root. She had eaten dumplings wrapped with Pueraria root before, which were steamed and had a chewy and elastic dumpling skin. She wanted to try mixing Pueraria root powder with grass seed powder to make dough to see if it could be used to make dumpling skins.

If that isn’t possible, just make some steamed dumplings. When the Chinese New Year comes, at least everyone can eat one, and it can be considered as Chinese New Year.

After breakfast, cotton cakes wrapped with pickled bamboo shoots were still very appetizing, and there were also sweet boiled palm fruits. Although they were not as delicious as the roasted ones, the children were very happy. They had a sweet food again and they loved it.

After eating and drinking, Shen Youyou led her team, and three more people, Gao Erzhuang and his family's three and four strong men, and set off together.

Because Shen Zhiqiu was worried, he took a few more strong guys this time, including Erhu, who had some skills.

Gao Erzhuang was really happy about it. He envied Erhu for being able to be brothers with Daya and the others.

It turned out that without Shen Youyou's knowledge, both of her sisters were targeted by the little wolf cub.

Originally, Shen Youyou was very dull in terms of emotions, and she was even more of a non-marriage advocate, so it was not easy for her to notice the abnormality between Erzhuang and Erhu.

What's more, she had a strong purpose this time, which was to find Pueraria root.

His mind was full of information about the growth environment of Pueraria lobata, so he didn't notice the two people's furtive gazes. Even Wang Taohua and Shen Daya didn't notice it.

Shen Youyou muttered to herself as she walked, "Pueraria root is the dried root of the leguminous plant Pueraria lobata. It is a perennial herbaceous vine that grows either in the grass on the hillside or in the relatively shady and wet places beside the road."

Listen, it's drought, where can you expect it to find green grass? Where can it find a moist place?

But don't worry, it is more likely to grow in the woodlands on the hillsides with an altitude of 1,000 to 3,000 meters, and it was distributed all over the country in the past.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it is cold-resistant and drought-resistant, and is not very selective about soil. Its reproduction speed is also amazing. Pueraria root can reproduce in large quantities as long as the soil is loose, well-drained, or sandy soil.

Whether it is barren mountains and gravel, or steep cliffs, as long as the soil layer reaches 30 centimeters, they can take root and grow, and drill into the soil vigorously.

This means that even if this place has been dry for more than two years, there must be kudzu root, because its lifespan is so long that you can't imagine it.

Even in the previous life, a thousand-year-old super wild Pueraria root king was discovered in Luoyang!
