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

Shen Youyou ran over immediately and saw that it was indeed a small pointed hole. She nodded hurriedly, picked up the axe and started digging.

After a while, a bamboo shoot the size of an adult's palm was dug out from the soil. It was very thick at the bottom. Although it was not big, it was okay.

"Sisters, you see, just find this little point and dig it open,"

When everyone saw that there were real bamboo shoots, they also thought about the sour bamboo shoots that she, the city people, said were delicious.

The girls searched more seriously, searching under almost every bamboo.

It's like scanning for landmines, a carpet search.

Not long after, everyone had a good harvest. Shen Youyou also found a lot. Although the bamboo shoots were not big, there were so many of them!

After about an hour, everyone's bamboo baskets were full.

Shen Youyou looked at everyone's baskets, each containing at least a dozen or twenty items.

The largest one is less than 20 centimeters, and the smallest one is more than ten centimeters.

On the way back, Shen Youyou had some difficulty carrying the bamboo basket.

The three sisters carried their own bamboo baskets and followed behind Shen Youyou to help her drag.

As she walked, she complained to herself in her mind: "Shen Youyou, Shen Youyou, you are a female man, why do you look so frail the more you dress?

No, I can’t sleep in tomorrow. I have to get up early to exercise and learn some quick moves from Grandpa Li. Now that I’m in ancient times and have a ready-made martial arts master by my side, I must fulfill my dream of becoming a chivalrous woman!”

When they returned to the shelter with their bamboo baskets on their backs, the villagers were shocked again.

Many women were saying, "When we were looking for water, we kept looking for bitter bamboo shoots, but we didn't see any. How did you find them?"

"It was Yoyo who told us to use a stick to push aside all the dead leaves, and use a hoe to dig out the small green tips, and underneath are bamboo shoots."

Sister Taohua spoke softly and explained to everyone.

Chen Xiu'e said to Aunt Fugui beside her: "Let's go and dig some tomorrow when we have time. We don't have much food left at home. Although bamboo shoots are a bit bitter, they can still fill our stomachs."

Daya happened to hear this and interrupted, "Aunt Xiu'e, my sister told me that if you boil the bamboo shoots first and then soak them in cold water, they won't be bitter at all, and you can also make sour bamboo shoots, which are delicious."

The old ladies were all watching with joy. For them, no matter whether the food was delicious or not, as long as they could find something to eat, it was a good thing.

The old ladies have started peeling the bamboo shoots at the same time.

Shen Youyou gave the order directly: "Grandmothers, peel the bamboo shoots, cut them in half, boil them in water, rinse them with cold water, and hang them on the bamboo roof we built to dry in the sun."

Then he said to his sisters, "Carry four baskets of bamboo shoots. Peel off the two outermost layers of skin, trim the broken ends at the bottom with a knife, and wash them clean. You don't need to remove the inside. I will teach you how to make delicious bamboo shoots."

Many young men and some women who don't cook were roasting dried meat.

The old men went to feed water to the cows and horses again.

By this time, Li Jingshu had already stewed the braised pork ribs and braised pork, which occupied a total of five large pots.

"Don't tell me to peel bamboo shoots by hand. These bamboo shoots won't work. They have to be sweet ones."

The sweet bamboo shoots my mother is talking about are the long and slender bamboo shoots in spring.

"How do you know if you don't try? I'll blanch it in water first, and it will get rid of the bitterness. They haven't eaten it before."

What I meant was: as long as it’s not bad, they won’t be picky. They can accept bitter bamboo shoots like grandma’s, and even my simplified version of hand-peeled bamboo shoots can conquer their stomachs.

As she spoke, Shen Youyou had already started directing Sister Taohua and Sister Daya to light a fire and cook bamboo shoots.

First boil the bamboo shoots in a pot and rinse them with cold water. Don’t worry about the water in the two pots because the grandmothers will use this water to boil the bamboo shoots they are going to dry.

She took her sisters to move and changed two pots. They put water in first, then added peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, and ginger. Unfortunately, there was no chili pepper. Several sisters also dug a few small stalks of garlic and put them in.

Instructing the sisters to put the rinsed bamboo shoots in, Shen Youyou followed suit by adding vinegar, soy sauce and salt.

The vinegar and soy sauce were brought from their home in the county town.

"Okay, sisters, put the lid on, light the fire and wait for the water to boil. Then wait a little while and then you can leave it alone. But you can't eat it yet. You need to soak it overnight and you can eat it tomorrow. Don't open the lid all the time."

It was already dark at this time. Shen Zhiqiu and the men set fire to the bamboo poles in the pit, and thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

Fortunately, the fire happened at night, otherwise their position might have been exposed.

When Shen Youyou came over to see, he heard his mother mumbling to his father:

Because their family distributed fragrant soap to everyone, every household also sent them a lot of things, some even gave them salted duck eggs, and most of them made some dry food and brought it over. The old lady was very happy and felt very proud.

At Old Lady Fang's house, Shen Mazi pulled his mother aside and said, "Mom, everyone has sent some food and drinks to the three brothers' homes, why don't you show some appreciation?

Even if someone from a different family gave it to us, this soap is so expensive, we can’t just accept it with a clear conscience, you can just take some salted eggs.”

Old Lady Fang curled her lips. It was not that she did not want to see him off, but she had just had a quarrel with Old Lady Hua a few days ago. She was a little embarrassed.

Shen Mazi was helpless: Mom, you shouldn't have quarreled with Aunt Hua. The three brothers do less physical work than us, but they use their brains more. If they hadn't arranged everything clearly, we would be at a loss.

Don't think that we are all like this now, and the little three-point scholar is useless. Let me tell you this, he is a person with real achievements,

Even when they came to the north, they were not on the same level as us. People had to be polite to them when they saw them. This was the treatment for scholars, especially the three brothers who were the best among the scholars.

Besides, we can't go back to our hometown in the future. We are unfamiliar with the place in the north. How can the locals treat outsiders as well as we do in Shenjia Village? Maybe we will be lucky if they don't bully us when we go there.

It’s different when we have three brothers. They have achievements and honors, not only can they support us, but just taking out the documents of the three yuan can be much more effective than us kneeling and begging.

This made him analyze it randomly. Old Mrs. Fang even regretted having quarreled with Old Mrs. Hua and even saying bad things about the third son, which his parents heard.

"Well, I've said it, what should I do?"

Shen Mazi whispered, "Mom is fine this time, and the third brother is a generous person. You really shouldn't say that again in the future. He didn't care this time. From now on, our family will follow him and do whatever he commands. We will definitely obey his orders."

"Okay, I won't say it anymore. I really won't say it anymore."

The old lady was also scared. We can’t just abandon them!

He kicked a few eggs swiftly and said, "Sister, your family is really..."

The old lady came to pay New Year's greetings, saying all good things, such as your family is loyal and righteous, your son is smart and your granddaughter is smart. She always thinks of everyone, and we are all grateful for this friendship.
