Traveling through 1942 with space

"Okay, it's getting dark, you kids should all go back quickly! It's not safe outside at night." At some point, the uncle who had just finished visiting the gap in the courtyard wall had returned.

Seeing the adults coming, the little ones quickly got up from the ground, patted their dusty butts, and ran away in a moment.

The uncle did not continue talking to Hou Xiaoge. He just said go to bed early and turned away.

My younger brother was still playing in my aunt's room. Hou Xiaoge shouted at him to come back and sleep and went straight into the room.

After a while, a burst of steaming sound came into the yard.

Xiao Shuanniu didn't go out to look for wild vegetables in the afternoon and had a lot of fun. At this time, he was holding a palm-sized wooden pistol in his hand and firing it while running and gesticulating.

Hou Xiaoge's adoptive father worked as a carpenter apprentice for a year. Unfortunately, his master died of an acute illness before he could finish his apprenticeship, resulting in Hou's father only learning half of the skills.

Normally, he could only make tables, chairs and benches. He had no idea about delicate work like making wooden barrels, cabinets, or building houses, so he had to go home and farm.

After Hou's mother sold herself, the little guy cried for her mother every day. The cheap father had no choice but to spend half a day making a wooden pistol for the little guy.

Nowadays, the toys for rural children are mostly animal bones, strange-shaped stones, etc., and there are very few serious toys.

Since Xiao Shuanniu got this wooden gun, he suddenly became the most popular handsome guy among his friends. He ran around with the wooden gun on his waist every day.

"Why are you running so fast? It's already dark and you don't even know to go home. You have to wait for someone to call you. If you're still playing, put it away quickly." Hou Xiaoge looked at his brother who was still playing and scolded him with a stern face.

"Oh! I see." The little guy was startled and quickly hid his treasure under the quilt.

"Here, drink some water and go to bed quickly." Hou Xiaoge took out a bamboo tube, poured a bowl of spiritual spring water and handed it to the little guy.

"Brother, why is your water so sweet?" The little guy was also thirsty after playing, so he drank it in a few gulps, feeling a little unsatisfied.

I came across a beehive yesterday and I got some honey.

I'm giving you this drink because you're my brother, so don't be so rude, or you won't get any good food in the future." Hou Xiaoge snorted coldly.

"I got it, brother. Even if you beat me to death, I won't tell you anything. Hehe! Just tell me a little more, just a little." The little guy said with a grin, gesturing with the bowl in his hand.

"Drink less, and be careful not to pee on the mattress at night. I'll beat you to death if you do." Although Hou Xiaoge said sternly, he still poured half a bowl of wine for the little guy.

The little guy drank the water with a giggle, licked his lips, and went back to his usual sleeping corner, where he lay down and slept obediently.

Children are good. They fall asleep as soon as they lie down. In just two minutes, the little guy fell asleep with smacking his lips.

After the little guy fell asleep, Hou Xiaoge closed the doors and windows and quietly returned to the ring space.

During the day today, Hou Xiaoge borrowed a normal-sized hoe from his cousin, so his own small hoe, which was only twice as effective as the one with half the effort, could be put to use temporarily.

Returning to the spiritual field, Hou Xiaoge took a look at the spiritual field and saw that all kinds of crops were growing well.

The wheat seedlings have grown to a height of thirty centimeters, and the sorghum stalks are half a person's height. Even the grass stubble that has been cut once is now green and can be harvested again tomorrow morning.

After checking the spiritual fields, Hou Xiaoge came to the breeding area.

Finding that there was little grass left in the rabbit nest and the mouse nest, Hou Xiaoge quickly took out a large handful of wild grass from the space and put some in each nest. Of course, the rabbits had a big appetite, so he put more.

After finishing the work, Hou Xiaoge picked up the hoe and started today's hard work again.

They rested when they were tired and worked again. After five or six hours, they had dug seven or eight meters.

"I'm so tired. It's because the soil in this spiritual field is relatively soft. Otherwise, such a large project would take forever to complete." Hou Xiaoge slumped on the grass and looked at the results of today's work.

After working for five or six hours in a row, my stomach was already growling with hunger.

Looking at the little wheat left, Hou Xiaoge decided to pound all the wheat into flour today.

It was just a few pounds of wheat, so it was not worth using a stone mill. Besides, there were no large animals, so he couldn't pull the mill himself! So Hou Xiaoge decided to use a stone mortar to pound the few pounds of wheat into flour.

As Hou Xiaoge lifted the stone pestle with force and dropped it, the sound of pounding echoed throughout the planting space.

Ten minutes later, Hou Xiaoge pounded out a bowl of whole wheat flour.

"Haha! Life is like a play, and a play is like life.

Before the time travel, I could only eat whole wheat flour every day to lose weight. After the time travel, I ate whole wheat flour to save food." Hou Xiaoge smiled bitterly as he looked at the flour he had worked so hard to pound, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.

After expressing his feelings, Hou Xiaoge took out a large wooden basin with a cracked bottom from the space warehouse, picked up more than ten pounds of wild vegetables, chopped them up and poured them into the basin.

After picking up the wild vegetables, Hou Xiaoge took out half a pound of whole wheat flour and sprinkled it into the chopped wild vegetables. Then he poured water and began to stir it until it became a sticky paste.

Yes, Hou Xiaoge was going to steam the wild vegetable dumplings. He thought this was the most economical and delicious way.

It doesn’t matter if there is no pot. Hou Xiaoge took out the half-broken water jar and placed it on the simple earthen stove he had built.

After cleaning the water tank and pouring spiritual spring water into it, Hou Xiaoge placed the wooden basin containing the ingredients directly on the water tank. He then found a piece of wood to cover the basin, and finally filled the stove with firewood and started cooking.

After the water boiled, because the water tank was broken unevenly, steam kept coming out. Hou Xiaoge hurriedly mixed mud and used the mud to block the gaps.

But water vapor is water, and under the erosion of water vapor, the mud blocking the gap fell off within a few minutes.

I kept mixing the mud and blocking it, and after waiting for about twenty minutes, the vegetable dumplings were finally steamed.

The steamed vegetable dumplings cannot be eaten yet. They need to be cooled to allow them to set, otherwise you can just grab a handful of wild vegetables.

But Hou Xiaoge was already very tired, so he didn't care about the fixed shape or not, he scooped a bowl and started to wolf it down. After three bowls in a row, Hou Xiaoge felt his stomach full again.

Seeing that there was only half a pot of wild vegetables left, Hou Xiaoge did not put them into the warehouse, but let them continue to cool and take shape in the spiritual field space.

After eating and drinking, Hou Xiaoge felt sleepy and drank a large bowl of spiritual spring water. Then he left the space and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until dawn and it was his younger brother who woke him up.

Yawning and stretching in the yard, Hou Xiaoge was about to go out to look for wild vegetables when he was stopped by his uncle.

"Heiwa, did you have a dream last night?" Uncle looked at Hou Xiaoge expectantly.

"I did dream, but they were all about food. I forgot about them as soon as I woke up in the morning. I didn't dream about anything else." Hou Xiaoge shook his head and said.

"Okay then! Tell your uncle if you have any dreams. Also, don't go out to dig wild vegetables in the morning. Let's leave this village after dinner." Uncle suddenly said.

"What! Leaving today, isn't that too soon?"

Hou Xiaoge was shocked. He had planned to stay until the grain was harvested before leaving. Could it be that he had overacted yesterday and scared his uncle?

"What? You don't agree? Or do you have any objections?" Uncle Hou Yangmin stared at Hou Xiaoge with burning eyes.
