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

"Let me do it." Xiao Nan naturally took the wooden barrel from Sui He's hand, put it on the car, and then went to pick up the other one.

"Thank you," Sui He thanked him when he saw someone helping him carry things.

"You're welcome." Xiao Nan put the barrel away. "It's almost dark, why are you still busy?"

"Oh, I was bored, so I came to study it." Sui He smiled awkwardly, as if it was indeed a little late.

"Why did you come back so late?" Sui He hurriedly changed the subject and turned to look at Xiao Bei who was standing beside him and smiling.

The two brothers don't look alike, and their personalities are also different. Xiao Nan is quiet and calm, while Xiao Bei is more outgoing. In addition to hunting, he takes the children in the village to run around the mountains.

Xiao Bei has now replaced Zhao Dazhuang as the leader of the children in Qingshan Village.

At first, the children in the village did not listen to him. In their eyes, Xiao Bei was an adult. What fun would it be for an adult to play with children? Until that day, he took out an iron tendon slingshot...

Slingshots of this era were made of beef tendons and fish intestines. It took a lot of effort to turn a fragile fish intestine into a slingshot, not to mention that the oxen were better than fish intestines.

Because it is rare, if the children in the surrounding villages have a wooden slingshot, it is the pride of these children.

So when Xiao Bei took out the slingshot, let alone running away from the mountain, he even asked them to climb over the mountain. Don't underestimate the destructive power of these children.

In order to get the slingshot, they listened to everything Xiao Bei said.

"The prey in town can't be sold at a high price, so we sold it to the county today, so we came back a little late." Xiao Bei squeezed in and said: "I saw you guys moving things here when I came back, so I gave you a hand."

"So that's how it is." Sui He suddenly realized, "Then thank you for your help."

Xiao Bei chuckled: "Don't bother, are you going to take these back? Let us take you back and help you move them down."

"Okay." Sui He was more than happy to have someone to help him, mainly because this thing was really heavy, even heavier than carrying a bucket of water.

Xiao Bei led the ox forward, while Xiao Nan held the bucket to prevent it from falling.

"Where should we put these?" Xiao Nan asked Sui He, holding a bucket in one hand.

"Just put it in the kitchen." Sui He looked at him holding a bucket in each hand. Wow, doesn't he think it's too heavy? He's really strong.

Xiao Nan nodded, put the wooden barrel in his hand into the kitchen, put it down and walked out.

"Thank you for bringing it back for me." Sui He picked two peaches from the tree and handed them to Xiao Nan: "Take these two peaches back and try them."

There were not many peaches left on the tree, so they basically picked them as they ripened.

"Let me see." Before Xiao Nan could say anything, Xiao Bei came over and grabbed one: "Thanks, I haven't eaten this for a long time."

"Thank you." Xiao Nan glanced at Xiao Bei, then raised his hand and took the peach from Sui He.

"You're welcome. If you like it, you can come and dig up a seedling next spring and plant it back home." Sui He pointed to the peach pits under the tree and said, "Just plant them next to the yard. When they grow up, you can eat them whenever you want."

After eating peaches, they would throw the peach pits next to the peach tree. These peach pits would take root and sprout next year and grow into new peach trees.

"Okay, I'll come and dig them next year." Xiao Nan followed Sui He's finger and looked under the peach tree.

"Second sister, I want to eat some too." An Zhi came up and pointed at the peach tree: "I can't pick any, can you help me pick them?"

"I'll help you, brother, you hold it for me." Xiao Bei put the peach in Xiao Nan's hand: "Don't eat it secretly"

"Anzhi, which one do you want? I'll pick it for you."

The tree was quite tall, and they had basically picked all the shorter ones, leaving only a few on the top.

"I want the red one." Anzhi pointed to the peach on top of his mouth: "That's it."

"Okay, you wait." Xiao Bei grabbed the peach tree and quickly climbed up. His movements were fast and steady. The tree didn't even shake, and he disappeared under the tree.

"Anzhi, grab something to hold it." Xiao Bei's voice came from above: "The peaches here are too high, I'll pick a few more for you."

"Here they come." An Zhi stood under the tree holding a basket. Several big red peaches fell from the branches and fell into An Zhi's basket.

"Wow, there are so many!" Big red peaches are rolling in the basket.

"Why are there still so many?" Sui He was also a little surprised. She thought there weren't many left. She didn't see many with her naked eyes. There were still quite a lot after picking them up: "Xiao Bei, since you're already up there, please help me pick them all."

"Oh, OK," Xiao Bei on the tree responded, "Brother, you catch them. There are still a lot of them on the tree, and An Zhi can't catch them all."

"Here I come." Xiao Nan put down the peach in his hand and walked towards the peach tree.

"Next!" Xiao Bei didn't wait for Xiao Nan. He picked the peaches and threw them down without even looking down. He threw them left and right.

Xiao Nan was very quick. No matter how Xiao Bei threw the peaches, he could catch them and put them in the basket beside him.

After all the peaches were picked, Xiao Bei jumped down from the tree with two peaches in his hand.

"You two brothers are pretty good at kung fu," Sui He said with emotion as he looked at them.

"Uh" Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei looked at each other, it's over, they were a little too proud of themselves just now: "We often go to the mountains, there are a lot of wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, so we learned some self-defense skills"

"Is that so?" Sui He nodded in understanding, no longer doubting that he really ran into the mountains every day, so it was normal for him to be better at physical training.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei went back.

"Grandpa, let me go to the workshop to take a look." After dinner, Sui He wanted to see the precipitation of sweet potato powder.

"It's too dark, I'll go with you." Grandpa put down what he was holding and followed Sui He out the door

In the end, the whole family went together

It's not that we can't make it tomorrow, but there are limited water tanks at home. If we don't make it tonight, the workers won't be able to use water tanks to make tofu tomorrow.

The jar was too big and there was too much water, so Sui He scooped out the water one scoop at a time. When he could push it, he followed his grandfather to pour out the water in the jar.

After the water in the tank was poured out, a layer of white sweet potato starch appeared at the bottom of the tank.

Suihe and Grandpa scooped water, while Grandma and Anzhi collected the starch at the bottom of the jar.

"This stuff is really white, just like flour." Grandma used a spoon to put all the sweet potato starch into the tent.

"Of course not, this starch is not only white, but also very delicious. I will make you something delicious tomorrow." Sui He pushed over a wooden barrel. There was not much starch in the barrel, just a thin layer.

The last few barrels are the last ones, so there is not much starch

Two buckets of sweet potatoes, ground into a large bag of sweet potato flour, it seems that the sweet potato starch content is quite high

Wrap the sweet potato flour with a tent cloth, tie a rope and hang it on the beam.

If you tie it up overnight, you can take it out to dry tomorrow morning.
