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

Li Jingshu was also surrounded by women, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shen Youyou asked her grandmother to come and wash it.

The old lady has been stingy all her life and said she would burn some wood ash first.

Shen Youyou: Why burn wood ash? Isn’t there Xiang Yi Zi?

"Then Xiangjie will keep it for you. I can just use the wood ash."

The old lady was thinking, the more money you can save, the better, now you are fleeing from famine! Where can you buy more when you run out of money?

The little granddaughter and the third daughter-in-law are used to using Aunt Xiang. She is already half buried in the earth, so it doesn't matter what she does.

Needless to say, Shen Youyou could guess what her grandmother was thinking: "Grandma, don't blame me for not reminding you, everyone will use this fragrant sister-in-law when they take a bath later.

My father also said that he would give a piece of it to every family, and that even if they didn’t take a shower, they would have to use it to wash their hands before eating, and pay attention to hygiene to prevent the spread of diseases.

You are not afraid of getting sick. Don't you feel that you are losing out? It is obviously your son who bought the fragrant concubine, and everyone is using it, but you are not?"

It’s no wonder that Shen Youyou was very accurate in guessing what her grandma was thinking.

If you say you will get sick if you don't use Xiang Ji Zi, the old lady will definitely tell you:

I have been using wood ash to clean for half my life, and it is very clean! Don't try to fool me.

But you tell her that since everyone else is using it, you don’t have to lose anything, especially since it’s your son’s money.

The old lady must have said, "Then I have to use more. If I can save others from taking advantage of me, I will gain."

The old lady took Xiang Ji in to wash herself.

Shen Youyou taught a few more brothers how to make bamboo showers. One was not enough, so they prepared a few more so that so many people wouldn't have to wait.

On Shen Zhiqiu's side, he had just arranged the bamboos in the three dug pits, but he couldn't light a fire yet because it was not dark yet.

Wet bamboo will produce a lot of smoke, and the bamboo in these three pits is much more than what Shen Youyou burned. Just to be on the safe side, let's wait until dark.

At this time, several people who went out hunting also came back. They had a good harvest, including two wild boars, several pheasants and rabbits.

There were two wild boars, one large and one small. Hunter Gao boasted to everyone, "Da Hu and Er Hu, those two guys, just chopped the big wild boar to death. This time we have an extra meal for everyone."

Everyone looked at Dahu and Erhu: What great guys.

The two of them just laughed along foolishly.

The big one weighs at least three or four hundred pounds, and the small one weighs about a hundred pounds. There are also four rabbits and three chickens.

Shen Zhiqiu asked in confusion: "The chickens and rabbits are normal and skinny, but the two wild boars are quite fat. Didn't they say that these big guys went deep into the mountains? How far did you go?"

It's not that he wanted to pour cold water on others, but he was always afraid of the primeval forest.

Hunter Gao couldn't figure this out either: "Who knows? When we saw the two wild boars, they were heading north. They can't be fleeing famine like us, right?"

"Don't think about this for now, Xiaosan, how are we going to divide the pig?"

Shen Zhiqiu was a little uneasy: "Let's leave a few more people to watch tonight. We can't leave during the day tomorrow, so you can catch up on some sleep in the morning. We have to be careful about everything at this time."

I saw everyone nodding in agreement.

He went on to say, "I don't think there's much blood left in this pig. I'll use the lard. I'll make some dried pork strips, pig heads, pig trotters, and internal organs and bones for dinner tonight.

The large intestine needs to be cleaned with wood ash. Uncle Gao, you cut up the pork, and let my wife and the other women do the cooking."

When the children heard that there was meat to eat, they were so excited that their hearts were boiling. They didn't care about fleeing famine or not. Having meat to eat was better than anything else.

Shen Youyou was even more greedy, and suggested with sparkling eyes: "Mom, let's stew the pig head and offal, and make the big bones into braised pork!"

"You're just daydreaming. Don't stewed meats need seasoning?"

Li Jingshu felt that her daughter was really impulsive. This was not modern times, and they were still in the deserted mountains. Where could they find so many seasonings?

You can just stir-fry it with wild vegetables.

When Shen Youyou heard this, she immediately turned around to look for Grandpa Guo.

Because in ancient times, many modern seasonings were used as medicinal ingredients, so she could only find seasonings from Grandpa Guo.

After some searching, she finally found several spices such as pepper, star anise and cinnamon from Grandpa Guo.

Although the variety is limited, it is enough to cope with the current situation.

Shen Youyou happily handed the seasoning she found to her mother and said, "Grandpa Guo gave it to me. I'm going to take my sisters to dig some bamboo shoots now."

Li Jingshu said with a puzzled look on his face: "How can there be bamboo shoots in this season? We looked everywhere when we were looking for water, but there were none at all."

Shen Youyou was full of confidence: "This is Hubei! Hubei's bamboo shoots in August are famous for their delicious taste. Although it's not August yet, it's already mid-July. Maybe we can get some if we dig in the soil."

Before Li Jingshu could say anything else, Shen Youyou ran away quickly.

I only heard my mother shouting anxiously from behind: "It's getting dark, don't run around."

Shen Youyou answered loudly without turning her head: "Don't worry, I'm nearby."

Then she called out to her sisters, "Girls, take your bamboo baskets and hoes and follow me!"

After saying that, Shen Youyou set off in a hurry with a group of young ladies.

At the same time, the adults also got busy, some were busy cutting meat strips, and some were busy setting up the grill to prepare for barbecue.

Shen Youyou also carried a bamboo basket and a small hoe in her hand: "Each of us should take a stick and knock on the snakes before we go anywhere. Be careful not to get bitten by snakes.

Dig up the dry grass under the bamboo and see if there are any small green tips. Those are bamboo shoots. Just dig them out with a hoe."

"Hey, we dug the bamboo shoots you mentioned, but they tasted terrible and bitter. Why don't we dig wild vegetables?"

Erya complained: Some people in the village also dug it up when they were short of food, but it tasted really bad, much worse than many delicious wild vegetables.

"You can't eat bamboo shoots directly. Boil them in water and then soak them in cold water. They won't be bitter when you eat them. Don't waste time. I'll teach you how to make sour bamboo shoots after I dig them up. I guarantee you'll all like them."

It's obvious that not many people come here. The fallen bamboo leaves and bamboo shells have covered the entire bamboo forest. No wonder I didn't see any bamboo shoots when we were looking for water. There is such a thick layer that only those with X-ray vision can see it.

Shen Youyou searched carefully and with great interest, scratching under each bamboo with a stick, but in the end she didn't find any.

She even began to doubt herself: Could it be that it really is not the right time yet, or this patch of bamboo is not the kind that can grow August bamboo shoots? Mainly, in her eyes, all bamboos look the same.

"Hey! Yoyo, come and look at this, it has a little tip." Sister Taohua's joyful voice came.
