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

Old Mrs. Hua rolled her eyes, ignored her granddaughter, turned around and walked back.

Shen Youyou followed happily and laughed to her grandmother: "Grandma, we are having fun in this difficult situation! You see, you are always unhappy, it will be bad in the future."

Old Lady Hua spanked her butt and scolded her with a smile: "You are so unruly every day."

The three sisters admire Shen Youyou so much that they even dare to approach her grandmother when she is angry!

Back at the cooking area, Li Jingshu was preparing to roast a chicken on the rack. The seasonings were all applied.

"Mom, let's not be serious. Why are you roasting and stewing chicken?"

"We can keep it overnight after roasting it and eat it tomorrow. The chicken has been killed and it's too hot to keep it!" Li Jingshu answered without even raising his head.

Shen Youyou thought that her mother might have lost her mind after traveling through time, or that it had been five years since Shen Luming was born in this body, but her IQ had not yet returned to normal.

"Then you can roast it into chicken jerky! We can eat it anytime on the road."

Li Jingshu looked at her daughter in bewilderment: "Where can I get you some barbecue in this remote place?"

I thought: Is she supposed to have an oven at home? If she had, she could just put it in the refrigerator, why would she need to bake it?

Shen Youyou saw that my mother looked impatient and knew that she was tired, so she quickly said:

"You go take a rest, I'll do it, I guarantee it will all be roasted into jerky."

Then he turned to Dalang and Shitou and said, "Brothers, go to the bamboo forest over there and cut me two thick bamboos!"

Then he squatted down and started cutting the chicken strips with a kitchen knife, and his three sisters also came to help.

The two brothers Dalang chopped the bamboos very skillfully and carried them back, where they happened to meet Shen Zhiqiu and others who were coming back from fetching water.

Grandpa Shen asked the two brothers: "Why are you cutting bamboo?"

Dalang scratched his head with one hand: "Yoyo asked me to chop it, saying that I wanted to roast it for meat jerky."

Shen Zhiqiu now knew what his daughter was going to do. There was a video of a wilderness survival blogger that he and his daughter followed, in which he used a bamboo mat to roast goat jerky over a fire.

I thought that there should be many people in the village who have freshly slaughtered pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. at home, so I might as well learn how to make them. The journey will definitely be difficult in the future, and making some dried meat will be convenient to eat and can also supplement nutrition.

It wasn't long before Shen Zhiqiu asked his eldest brother Shen Zhichun and fourth brother Shen Zhidong to help weave bamboo mats. He and Li Quan put up a frame, which couldn't be too high or too low, about one meter!

He asked his nephew Dalang and his nephew Shitou to inform the family that there was raw meat, in case people couldn't keep it and come to learn how to make dried meat.

When Shen Youyou saw that her father understood what she meant, she no longer cared about the matter of airs.

When the meat strips were cut, the villagers also gathered around, including Boss Gao, who was carrying 20 kilograms of pork.

Shen Zhiqiu walked over and said to everyone:

"Go back and cut the meat into strips, add some seasoning and marinate for an hour, then put them one by one on that kind of rack and roast them until they are dry."

Everyone looked at how to set up the bamboo grill and then dispersed.

The Shen family sat together to eat. The meat strips were marinated, and the pork that Boss Gao had just sent was also cut and grilled after dinner.

Shen Zhidong suddenly said, "Why do I feel like we eat better when we're fleeing from famine than at home? There's plenty of chicken today."

Grandpa Shen ate the chicken drumstick that his eldest son picked for him and said, "I hope you will still feel the same way in the future."

Shen Youyou burst out laughing. Grandpa is still the same as before, honest and taciturn, but every time he says something, it hits the nail on the head.

Daya came over with a bowl in her hand: "Yoyo, I always look forward to your return. As long as you come back, we can have a good meal at home."

Shen Youyou had no memory and asked calmly, "What will you eat if we don't come back?"

"What can we eat? Coarse grain porridge and coarse grain steamed bread." Erya interrupted.

Daya nodded quickly: "When you come back, grandma will make white rice porridge and put meat in the dishes."

At this time, Shen Zhiqiu and the other men were also discussing the next journey.

Li Quan swallowed a piece of chicken in just two or three bites, as if he didn't even need to spit out the bones:

"Son-in-law, if we walk for another day tomorrow, we will probably reach the border of Yuzhou. There is a drought over there, and we don't know if we can find water.

We have to prepare food and feed for the animals along the way. Although we have many carriages, more horses mean more water. The carriages are full and we don’t have enough space to hold water.”

Shen Zhiqiu took a bite of rice and said, "Let's take a rest for a while. Tomorrow we will all get up and cut bamboos. We will break through the bamboo joints and leave only the bottom. We will make bamboo tubes as tall as a person to hold water.

These bamboo tubes are tied in rows, and the wooden baffles on the cart are replaced with bamboo rafts filled with water. By the way, don’t forget to fill the bamboo tubes with water and seal the mouths with large leaves and hay.

Grandpa Shen was a little melancholy: "Once we enter Yuzhou, there will probably be a lot of refugees on the road. We have water and food now, but we are afraid that they will rush up to rob us, and we won't be able to stop them."

When everyone heard this, they felt that the chicken in their bowls no longer tasted good.

Although every household still had some food, they could not withstand so many refugees coming to rob, and there was pushing and shoving, and the elderly and children were injured.

"Son-in-law, distribute the weapons in our car tomorrow. If we see refugees, we can't just get out and surround the car. If someone comes up, we will chop them down. Even if it's not enough for so many people, at least it will serve as a deterrent." Dahu suggested at this time.

"Deterrence probably won't work. If they are like us and still have some food, they may not come up and kill us if they see that we have weapons.

But they probably don't have much to eat. In this case, if they get chopped down, they'll die. If they don't rob, they'll die too. So they might as well risk it all. Maybe they can die well-fed."

Shen Zhiqiu thought that these people probably ate grass roots and tree barks, and Guanyin was unsophisticated.

The drought has been going on for a year, and there is probably not much bark left on the trees, so this method won't work.

"If it doesn't work, we can go to the mountains. Then the carriage won't be usable."

Li Quan frowned. People can walk, but these items can only be carried by horses.

Shen Zhiqiu looked at his daughter who was still chattering and sighed, "Okay, let's go into Yuzhou and see what the situation is. If things don't go well, we'll go through the mountains. The horses will carry some of the things, and the rest will be carried by the others."

He was worried that his wife and children would not be able to keep up. When had those two people ever experienced this?

But you have to follow what is said at the right time, even if you can't keep up now. Staying here will just mean waiting to die.

It is not safe to walk in the mountains. We know how to walk in the mountains, but don’t the refugees know how to find food in the mountains?

I will ask the women in the village to make more shoes in the car tomorrow. The mountain road is difficult to walk on, and it will be even more difficult to wear straw sandals.

Shen Zhiqiu felt a throbbing pain in his head, and he was retching a little. He knew that this was caused by severe lack of sleep.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks, talked for a while, and then fell asleep. It wasn't long before he started snoring loudly.

The women in the house packed up their things and started roasting the meat.

Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Shen discussed with others and asked a few young men who didn't drive the car to watch the night. They would leave tomorrow and let them catch up on sleep in the car.

Li Quan also gave each of these boys a big sword or some other weapon.

This made several people very excited, and they rubbed the rag back and forth. Their hands were so fast that sparks were flying!
