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

He put the plaster in his hand into the basket, asked passers-by about the carpenter's location, and headed towards that place.

Not long after walking, they saw a yard with a sign that said "Carpenter". The door was open, and Sui He knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"

Seeing that no one answered, I thought they were busy and didn't hear me, so I just walked in.

This is a small yard with several sheds in it. Under the sheds, thick logs are neatly placed. Under another shed, some similarly built cabinets and beds are neatly placed. The air is filled with the smell of various woods.

"Is this the smell of camphor wood?" Sui He smelled the overbearing scent in the air.

"Young man, do you know camphor wood?" An old man came out from the inner room, holding a wood shaving tool in his hand. Behind him was a young man, who should be his apprentice. "I was busy inside just now, so I didn't hear you knocking on the door."

"I used to have a neighbor who was also a carpenter. I smelled the scent of camphor wood in his house." The wardrobe made of camphor wood has a good insect-proof effect because of its unique fragrance.

Why modern people seldom use camphor wood to make furniture? It is because the smell is too strong and most people cannot get used to it. She knew this, but it was because her neighbor made furniture when she was a child and she was used to the smell.

Sui He took out the blueprint, handed it to the old man, and said, "I want to ask you to make something for me. I wonder if you can do it." The old man took the blueprint and said with a smile, "As long as you have the blueprint, there is nothing you can't do."

The old man studied the blueprint. The blueprint was very detailed, even the dimensions were marked. However, what could this square thing be used for? You said it was a box, but it was separate, not a box. It looked like a box. The more he looked at it, the more confused he became. "What is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Sui He stepped forward and explained: "This is a mold for making tofu. You see, it is divided into three parts..."

After hearing Sui He's explanation and combining it with the mold, the carpenter understood immediately: "I understand, this can be done. If you need it urgently, come and get it the day after tomorrow. Do you have any requirements for the wood?"

"No requirements. Since it can be done, I'll trouble you, master. I'll come to pick it up the day after tomorrow." After discussing with the carpenter, he agreed to come to pick it up the day after tomorrow, paid the deposit and left.

"Master, what is tofu?" The apprentice who saw Sui He leave asked his master curiously.

"Go, go, go, why are you asking so many questions?" It's not that the master didn't tell the apprentice, it's just that he didn't know.

"Oh!" The scolded apprentice turned around and walked into the workshop to continue planing wood.

Suihe is in a good mood after solving two problems

“Wontons, wontons, delicious wontons”

Sui He was attracted by the hawking sound, and his stomach started to growl. Anyway, he had money on him, so he could eat whatever he wanted. It was a good opportunity to try what the ancient wontons tasted like.

"Stall owner, give me a bowl of wontons." Sui He found an empty seat and sat down.

"Okay, little brother, take a seat first, the wontons will be here soon," the wonton vendor responded, grabbed a handful of wontons from the chopping board beside him and threw them into the boiling water. The small wontons rolled up and down in the water.

"Little brother, take your time to eat. If it's not enough, tell me." After a while, a bowl of steaming wontons was served. A bowl full of wontons, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, smelled super fragrant and I ate it with big mouthfuls.

"Okay." Sui He smelled the chopped green onion and his appetite was aroused. The thin dough was filled with meat as big as a little finger. The taste was only salt. There was also a small piece of lard floating in the bowl. The main feature was the original flavor. Sui He ate one by one and soon finished the wontons in the bowl.

He burped with satisfaction and said, "Stahlowner, please pay the bill." Sui He took out his purse which contained some copper coins. This purse was given to him by the person who bought her snow globe last time. She thought it was solid so she used it herself.

"Okay, five copper coins. Are you full, little brother? Are you dissatisfied with anything?" The wonton stall owner walked forward, holding the bowl in one hand and wiping the table with the other.

"It's okay, quite delicious. If the soup base is made with pork ribs that have been boiled for several hours, it would taste even better." Sui He took out five copper coins and placed them on the table, then left.

I heard the stall owner ask this. At that time, they basically used water to cook wontons. I couldn't help but mention it when I remembered that most of the soup bases in modern times are made from bones.

"Using shank bones as soup base?" The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. It was easy to understand that shank bones were used as soup base for their cooking. They used shank bones to make soup. The wonton stall owner lowered his head and muttered something, and was interrupted.

"Give me a bowl of wontons." Someone else sat at another table.

"Hey, it's coming." The stall owner put away the copper coins and hurried to cook another bowl

"Same old today?" The wonton vendor passed by the butcher after a busy day, ready to buy meat for tomorrow. He was very familiar with the butcher because he often bought meat from him.

"Yes, it's the same as always."

After I mentioned my request to the butcher, my eyes were attracted by the shanks placed nearby. The shanks were smooth and the meat had been removed cleanly.

"How much is this pork shank?" For some reason, the wonton stall owner asked the butcher.

"Why do you want that? There's not much meat in it," the butcher said, still cutting the meat. "If you want two coppers, take it."

"Okay, just give it to me." The stall owner thought for a while, then remembered what Sui He said during the day. It was only a few copper coins, so he could give it a try. He then handed over his basket.

The butcher packed the cut meat and the shanks together and handed them to the owner of the chaos stall: "Okay, it's packed, take it, and come back after you finish eating."

The wonton stall owner returned home and took out the pork ribs he bought and cleaned them.

"Why are you buying this?" The stall owner's wife pouted in disdain when she saw her husband bringing back several shanks.

"I met a young man today. He said that wontons will taste better if you use pork ribs to make soup. I'll buy some to try." The stall owner didn't even raise his head as he washed the pork ribs in his hands. After washing, he went into the kitchen, put them on the chopping board, and chopped them in half with a kitchen knife.

"You believe whatever people say, and you don't have any caution. What if you get cheated?" The stall owner's wife muttered as she put a handful of kindling in the stove and lit it. After a while, the pot was heated up.

"It's okay, just give it a try, it doesn't cost much." The stall owner kept working and soon chopped all the shanks in the basin, cleaned the pot, added water and put the shanks in.

"I'll go get some more firewood. I heard from that young man that this bone soup will take several hours to cook."

"What? What kind of bone soup needs to be boiled for so long? How much firewood does that require?"

I complained but didn't stop working. After the bone soup, which had been boiled for several hours and turned snow-white, came out of the pot, I cooked a few wontons, added lard and chopped green onions, and realized that the wontons in the past were nothing like the wontons now. I even drank two bowls of the soup.
