So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

"This would be very beautiful if it were a transparent cup." Sui He picked up a cup of basil tea and shook it gently in his hand. The bright red tea soup rolled in the cup.

"It tastes good." Grandma also picked up a cup and said, "Why do I feel a little hungry after drinking this?"

The weather is hot in summer, and people who are hot have no appetite at all. After drinking this cup of basil water, grandma actually felt hungry.

"Sour things can whet the appetite. It should be the sour taste of wild oranges that whet the appetite." Sui He drank the cup of basil tea in his hand.

"Wild oranges?" Mr. Ning picked up a cup and put it under his nose. Sure enough, he smelled a sour smell: "How sour would this wild orange be?"

Sui He poured himself another cup: "It's not sour, I added sugar"

"Really? Let me try it." Old Ning picked up a cup of basil tea and drank it. "It's sour and sweet, really good. A cup in the summer can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. After drinking it, I feel like all the heat has been discharged."

After drinking basil tea, it was not too late. It was time to make dinner. There was nothing to eat in such a hot day.

Take some flour out of the food cabinet. If you don't want to make anything else, just make some noodles.

Suihe was kneading dough, while grandma came in to light the fire

"Sui Sui, do you want to eat noodles tonight?" Grandma put hay into the stove.

Sui He kneaded the dough quickly: "Yes, grandma, the weather is too hot, I will make something different to eat."

"Okay, I'm in for a treat today."

"Of course not. Just wait and see. I guarantee you'll eat two more bowls."

The temperature in the pot rose, and Sui He scooped a full spoonful of cooking oil into it. When the cooking oil was hot, Sui He threw in a handful of peppercorns and a handful of green onions.

This peppercorn is from the wild on the hill behind us. Last fall, Sui He picked a lot of it.

Clear oil is also called sesame oil, which is sesame oil. It is very troublesome to press sesame oil, and the oil yield is not high due to the limitation of technology.

However, compared with lard, it is still much cheaper, because animal oil requires a lot of feed and labor, and the cost is too high.

Even cheap cooking oil is not affordable for everyone. Most people only use a few drops of it to moisten the pan when cooking.

Suihe slaughtered two pigs before the New Year and boiled a lot of lard. Sesame oil is not like rapeseed oil. Suihe always feels that sesame oil has a burnt smell and she doesn't like it very much. She still likes rapeseed oil. Maybe Suihe is used to rapeseed oil.

Today, when making scallion oil, Sui He took out some and sprinkled some wild peppercorns from the mountain.

After the shallots are fried until golden brown, take them out, take a large bowl and scoop out all the oil in the pot, then pour some water in and boil it.

After the water boils, put the rolled noodles into the pot. The noodles you roll yourself will be cooked quickly. Take them out and put them in cold water to rinse them twice.

Pinch some sweet potato leaves and throw them into the pot

The noodles, which have been rinsed twice with cold water, are clearly separated. Put them into a bowl, add a piece of sweet potato leaves, sprinkle some chopped green onions, add the seasonings, and most importantly, a spoonful of green onion oil.

"Sui Sui, it smells so good." Grandma came over, the smell of scallion oil stimulated her taste buds: "What is this?"

"Grandma, take the cold noodles out. It's time to eat." Sui He skillfully mixed the noodles in the bowl and put them into everyone's bowl.

The two people in the main room couldn't wait any longer. They smelled a very fragrant smell just now. Although they were sitting in the main room chatting, their minds had already gone to the kitchen.

When the noodles were served on the table, Mr. Ning took a bowl and picked up a noodle. The smooth and chewy noodles slid into his mouth along with the scallion oil. "What kind of noodles are these? Why are they so delicious?"

Sui He served a portion to his grandparents, then picked up his own bowl and started eating: "This is noodles with scallion oil. The noodles have been soaked in water so they won't be sticky. It's perfect for summer."

"What kind of life did I lead before? It was just plain and boring." Old Ning ate two bowls of noodles before putting down his chopsticks. He burped, wiped his mouth and sighed, "Suihe, give me another bowl."

Sui He quickly took his bowl and said, "You've already eaten two bowls. It's not good to eat too much at night. There's still some soaking in the pot. If you want to eat more, you can save it for a midnight snack later."

"Can I have another bowl? Just one bowl." When Old Ning saw Sui He put away the bowl, he immediately became anxious and kept winking at Grandpa. Grandpa turned his head away and chose to ignore Old Ning.

Although he still wants to eat

"No, let's eat later." Sui He ignored him, put away the dishes and went into the kitchen

It’s not that Sui He didn’t give him food, it’s just that if he ate too much at once, it would hurt his stomach. Besides, don’t think Sui He didn’t hear it. Old Ning burped after eating, which means he was full. He still wanted to eat now, purely because he was greedy.

Anyway, there is still some in the pot. After they digest the food, they can have some for midnight snack.

Unfortunately, Sui He gave in to Ning Lao's soft and hard persuasion and his grandfather's hesitant look, and the remaining noodles did not last long enough for a midnight snack.

The wild oranges that Sui He picked were not used up. There were still two or three left. Although these wild oranges were not edible, they could be used as spices.

Put wild oranges in the room, and they emit a faint fragrance.

It smells much better than modern chemically synthesized incense. If you dislike the light smell of orange, you can cut two small holes on the orange to make the smell stronger.

Sui He was still at home, and life was peaceful and quiet. However, something big happened quietly in Yingcheng.

The official of Yingcheng was reported to the governor who came from the capital to investigate the people's sentiments.

Coincidentally, the governor was also a new official, and he was eager to make some achievements on this trip. Just as he arrived in Yingcheng, someone came forward to complain.

When the governor heard this, he was like, this is a good opportunity.

He immediately ordered a thorough investigation. The investigation revealed that the county magistrate had oppressed the people, colluded with local wealthy businessmen, seized other people's land, and maliciously levied taxes. Other places only collected 20% to 30%, but he actually collected 40%.

Not only that, he also tampered with the scales, causing him to insist that the taxes he had paid were not enough.

When the governor learned about this, he felt that the matter was too serious, so he reported everything to the court. The emperor was furious and ordered the governor to conduct a thorough investigation. After the facts were revealed, severe punishment would be imposed.

As soon as the news of what the county magistrate had done came to light, the whole Yingcheng was in an uproar. With the governor in charge, the oppressed farmers mustered up the courage to beat the drum to protest their grievances.

One after another, unjust, false and wrong cases were redressed, and the wronged people were given the opportunity to prove their innocence. Those who suffered unjust accusations were also given certain compensation by the court. Even the over-collected taxes were found in the private treasury of the county officials and returned to the farmers.

Including Suihe also received a considerable amount of compensation

When the governor left, the people lined the streets, all shouting "Lord, the Lord!" In contrast, the former county magistrate, who was in the escort car behind him, had weeds and stones all over his head.
