A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

However, the policies he has implemented since taking office have all been beneficial to the people. In addition, the weather has been good and there has been no war in recent years, so people's lives have improved a lot.

Zhang Yunyue learned this from listening to Grandpa Zhang and Father Zhang chatting at home these past two days.

After dinner, Zhang Yunyue washed the dishes and thought about making mung bean jelly. She had to soak the mung beans tonight.

Zhang Yunyue scooped out about two or three pounds of mung beans from the cabinet. If there were too few, the starch would be insufficient and it would be difficult to make jelly. Two or three pounds was just right, and the jelly made could be served as a dish.

Pour the mung beans into a basin, wash them two or three times, add water, and set them aside to soak.

After everything was done, Zhang Yunyue walked out of the kitchen and looked at Zhang's mother who was chatting with grandma and second aunt in the yard.

He took a stool and sat next to Zhang's mother to listen, and then talked to her.

"Mother, I just soaked some mung beans from the kitchen and plan to make mung bean jelly tomorrow."

"Yueyue, what is mung bean jelly? Did the deity who invited you to dinner in your dream teach you this?"

"Yes, mung bean jelly tastes better than cold noodles."

"That's fine. It's okay. You can go to the bar and have a taste of it too."

"But, mother, do you know where there is a stone mill in the village? We need to soak the mung beans overnight and grind them into pulp with a stone mill tomorrow."

"The village chief has some. Let your father take you to your uncle's house to grind it tomorrow."

"Row"

Zhang Yunyue continued chatting with her family, but after a while, Zhang Yunyue began to yawn and tried hard to open her eyes.

"what"

"what"

Grandma Zhang: "Yueyue, you've yawned so many times, go back to your room and go to sleep. The same goes for the rest of you, go wash up and go to sleep."

Zhang Yunyue: "Got it, grandma, I'll go to bed now."

Zhang Yunxue had fallen asleep in Zhu's arms a long time ago. After hearing what Grandma Zhang said, Zhu also carried Zhang Yunxue back to the house to sleep. The little guy probably walked the longest distance since he was born today.

The next morning.

Zhang Yunyue woke up, sat up and stretched. After a good night's sleep last night, she felt much more energetic.

When I have money in the future, I must buy a means of transportation.

The weeds in the field were pulled out the day before yesterday, so the Zhang family can take a break. Now they just need to pay attention to the water in the paddy fields, and then go to hoe the fields and weed every once in a while.

There must be no grass in the field, otherwise it will steal the nutrients from the food.

When they don’t have to go to the fields, the Zhang family goes back to eating two meals a day.

Zhang's mother, who was cleaning the yard, saw Zhang Yunyue get up.

"Yueyue, can you take a look at the green beans in the kitchen? I just pinched them with my hands and they can be crushed."

"Ah, I'll go check it out."

Zhang Yunyue walked into the kitchen, pinched it with her hands, and found that it was indeed ok, so she shook off the water on her hands.

I plan to wash up first, and then go find my father to go to the village chief's house.

After washing up, Zhang Yunyue turned around and asked where Zhang's mother and father had gone.

Mother Zhang pointed to the backyard.

"Your father is weeding and feeding chickens in the backyard. Wait until he finishes feeding the chickens and then he will take you to the village chief's house."

"Okay, mother, find a clean cloth and wash it. Dad and I will come back from grinding the mung beans and filter them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang's father came out from the backyard, walked to the bucket beside the well, scooped a bucket of water and washed his hands.

"Yueyue, get up. Wait for dad to wash his hands first, then we'll go to the village chief's house."

Father Zhang washed his hands, shook them to dry the water, and walked towards the kitchen.

Take out the basin containing mung beans, pour out the water, and replace it with clean water.

Father Zhang held the basin and asked Zhang Yunyue to carry an empty bucket, and they went to the village chief's house together.

On the way, they met Zhang's father's uncle, who was walking towards them with his hands behind his back. He was Zhang's grandfather's brother, and Zhang Yunyue and the others called him great-grandfather.

Grandpa Zhang has two older brothers and a younger sister. The two older brothers live in the center of the village, and the younger sister married and moved to another place.

Father Zhang: "Uncle, where are you going? So early in the morning."

Zhang Yunyue: "Hello, great grandfather."

Great grandfather: "Hey, Yueyue, I haven't seen you for several days. I'm going to the fields to check on the crops. Where are you going?"

Zhang's father: "Let's go to the village chief's house and borrow the stone mill to grind some mung beans. Uncle, when you are free, come to my house to chat with my father."

"Okay, I'll come and chat with your father in a couple of days when I'm not busy. I'm leaving first, so you guys go to the village chief's house."

Great grandfather, Zhang's father and Zhang Yunyue waved goodbye, then walked away with their hands behind their backs.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Zhang's father knocked on the door. The village chief heard the sound and got up to open the door.

Village Chief Zhang: "Boss, how come you have time to visit my house today? Come in, Yueyue is here too."

Father Zhang: "Village Chief, I came here today to borrow your stone mill to grind some mung beans."

Zhang Yunyue: "Uncle Village Chief"

Village Chief Zhang: "Hey, Yueyue. Go ahead. It's right in the yard. Get some water from the well and rinse it yourself."

Father Zhang: "Okay, thank you, Village Chief. I can do it myself."

Zhang's father fetched water and cleaned the millstone twice. Then he pushed the millstone while Zhang Yunyue was responsible for adding mung beans to the middle of the millstone.

After a while, all the mung beans were ground, and then the village chief's stone mill was cleaned.

Father Zhang: "Village Chief, I'm done. Thank you. We'll leave first."

"Okay, come and sit down when you have nothing to do."

Father Zhang carried the bucket of mung bean milk, and Zhang Yunyue carried the basin, and the two returned home.

Zhang Yunyue took down the white cloth in the yard and filtered the mung bean milk together with his father.

Zhang Yunyue: "Okay, Dad, put this basin aside first, don't move it, let it slowly settle, and save the remaining mung bean dregs to make bean dregs cakes later."

It was still early. Zhang Yunyue looked at her eldest brother and second brother. They were not at home. Xiaoxue was helping her second aunt sort out the threads. Her second aunt was mending clothes. She looked at Grandpa Zhang.

"Grandpa, where are my brothers?"

"Your eldest brother and his friends went to the back hill to chop wood."

“Then I’ll go find them.”

Zhang Yunyue turned around to carry the backpack, and then picked up the sickle.

"Grandpa, Dad, I'm leaving."

Grandma Zhang heard her granddaughter's words: "Yueyue, be careful and come back soon."

"Hey, I see."

Zhang Yunyue came to the back mountain and didn't go to look for Zhang Xingyun and the others first, but just walked around and looked around.

Wanting to look around and search for treasure, he bent down and picked up a stick from the ground and used it to push away the fallen leaves.

Zhang Yunyue didn't pay attention to the direction, but kept walking forward with his head down to look. Finally, after pushing aside a leaf, he saw a bunch of umbrella mushrooms.

Zhang Yunyuexing was overjoyed. In modern times, umbrella mushrooms are sold by the bunch, and each bunch costs more than 10 or 20 yuan. She didn't expect to find another bunch here.

Thinking of the fragrance of the umbrella mushroom, Zhang Yunyue felt like drooling.

He hurriedly squatted down and started digging out the flowers one by one. Fortunately, he carried a backpack when he came out, otherwise he would be caught off guard now.

After Zhang Yunyue dug them all out, she counted them and put them in the backpack. There were more than 10 of them. She could take them home and make some shiitake mushroom and egg soup, which must have tasted delicious.
