Traveling through 1942 with space

"Heiwa, you're back. What were you whispering about with uncle just now?" Hou Xiazhu, the eldest sister who had already lay down in front of her own tricycle, looked up and asked.

"Sister, it's nothing. I just talked to my uncle about buying food tomorrow." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile as she sat on the mattress that had been laid out.

"Well! Heiwa, I found that you have changed a lot when I came back this time.

I heard from my second aunt and my younger sister-in-law that the money used to redeem us was all obtained by you. It seems that our Heiwa has grown up. I am happy.

I won't ask you how you got the money, but since our father and mother are not around, you are the backbone of our family. You must pay more attention to your safety in the future. "Hou Xiazhu said with a worried look on her face.

In the dark night, Hou Xiaoge had the blessing of spiritual power and could see things clearly.

The worried expression on the eldest sister's face is something that the second aunt and the younger sister-in-law do not have. This is the thinking and psychological activity of a real family, Hou Xiaoge sighed in his heart.

"I understand, big sister. When I return home, I will ask someone to find out about our mother.

After we settle down in Qin Province, I will ask someone to bring my second sister back, and then I will find out where our father is serving in the army." Hou Xiaoge smiled and comforted.

"Great! Heiwa, you have the right idea. I will listen to you from now on." Hou Xiazhu was also very happy to hear her brother's arrangement.

In the darkness, the chirping of crickets could be heard occasionally in the distance. People in the camp were either sleeping or worrying, and the night passed in the blink of an eye.

Before dawn in the morning, Hou Xiaoge was awakened by the noisy sounds in the camp.

"Sister, what's going on outside? It's not even dawn yet, why are you all up?" Hou Xiaoge sat up, looked at the moon still hanging high in the sky, and asked tiredly.

"Didn't the county magistrate say yesterday that grain would be distributed today? Everyone should get up early so that we can line up early to buy grain." Hou Xiazhu was flipping something on a wheelbarrow. Seeing Hou Xiaoge get up, he explained with a smile.

"You really believed what the county magistrate said about selling grain cheaply. You'd better go to sleep peacefully! You can dream about anything." Hou Xiaoge didn't believe it and lay down again.

"Don't go to sleep yet. Where is your family's baojia household registration certificate? The county won't recognize it without it." Hou Xiazhu asked quickly.

"I almost threw that thing away. It's in the small backpack used to tie the cow!" Hou Xiaoge raised his hand and pointed to a small basket on the wheelbarrow.

"We can't throw this thing away. When we settle down in other places in the future, the government will need to see it." Hou Xiazhu took out the wooden sign and said.

"I know, I was just talking nonsense. How could I throw away my household registration certificate?" Hou Xiaoge said with his eyes closed.

"Heiwa, um, do you have any money left? I'll use it to buy food with my uncle and others." Hou Xiazhu asked in a low voice while holding the household registration card.

"Let uncle pay, he extorted dozens of dollars from me yesterday!" Hou Xiaoge was exhausted! He waved his hand and asked his elder sister to go find uncle.

"Is that so? Then you and Shuanniu continue to sleep, I'm going to find uncle and the others." Hou Xiazhu looked at his two younger brothers who were sleeping soundly, turned around and left without any complaints.

After Hou Xiazhu left, Hou Xiaoge took out two pieces of cotton, stuffed them into his ears, and went back to sleep.

Although Hou Xiaoge fell asleep outside last night, his mental energy had been busy in the space for most of the night and he was very tired now.

When Xiaoge woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky, and her younger brother had already gone off to play somewhere else.

Hou Xiaoge sat up and felt exhausted for a while. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took back the bed sheet that was draped over his head.

This used to be a bustling camp, but now it was much less crowded, with most of those left behind being the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Hou Xiaoge looked at his second aunt and sister-in-law who were busy not far away, and walked over to say hello.

The two men were busy chiseling the bark. When they saw Hou Xiaoge coming over, they asked him a question.

The aunt also took out a palm-sized multi-grain cake from a package nearby and stuffed it into Hou Xiaoge's mouth.

"Heiwa, this is your breakfast, take it and eat it." Hou Cuihua quickly stuffed the pancake into Hou Xiaoge's arms.

Hou Xiaoge put the luggage in his arms, asked his aunt to look after the luggage, and left the camp with a smile.

Xiao Shuanniu, who was playing with a few cousins not far from his own camp, saw Hou Xiaoge coming and shouted for Hou Xiaoge to take him to play.

Hou Xiaoge had to go to the space to harvest vegetables and had no intention of being a babysitter. She patted the little guys on the butt twice and said she would bring them some delicious food when she came back. The little guys started yelling and ran off to play.

Hou Xiaoge walked all the way to the city wall to check it out. Wow, there were so many people there. Fortunately, there were militias with guns around to maintain order, otherwise it would have been easy for chaos to occur.

Looking at the refugees who bought food and ran away like thieves, Hou Xiaoge checked with his mental power from a distance, shook his head and left.

The government really couldn't be kind. Those who bought grain were actually buying bran and wheat chaff, which were not real grains.

The prices were indeed a bit cheaper, bran was five cents, wheat bran was two cents, and each household was limited to purchasing ten and twenty kilograms of each.

"It's all exploitation!" Hou Xiaoge sighed, found an empty corner and slipped into the space.

Compared with the outside world, Hou Xiaoge is much happier because he has his own planting space.

He had been busy for most of the night, pounding more than 100 kilograms of coarse flour with a stone mortar. He came in today to filter out the bran and flour separately.

Another thing is to assemble the stone mill. We can't let these animals just eat and not do anything, otherwise it would be a waste of raising them!

Hou Xiaoge came to the pile of coarse flour that he had pounded last night and started working.

It is actually very simple. Just use a coarse sieve to filter out the large particles of bran. What comes out of the sieve is flour. Although it is a bit coarse and still contains some bran, it is fine and can barely be considered 90% flour.

Hou Xiaoge didn't plan to grind it anymore. Black flour was healthy to eat, and it would be smaller if he took it out himself in the future.

It took half an hour to sift out all the flour. In total, I sifted out fourteen or fifteen pounds of bran and one hundred and fifty to sixty pounds of flour.

A burlap bag was taken out and the bran was put into it, and the flour was poured into a large dry water tank.

"Go, pull carefully, or I'll beat you." In the breeding area, in front of the assembled stone mill, Hou Xiaoge put a black cloth on the eyes of a donkey, put on the rope and started to pull the mill.

In order to give the little donkey motivation, Hou Xiaoge took out a handful of fresh grass that had been specially watered with spiritual spring water and hung it in front of the donkey, luring it to move forward.

I have to say, these animals are great. Last night, Hou Xiaoge spent four or five hours using a stone mortar to pound out more than 100 kilograms of flour. With two donkeys and two stone mills, they were done in half an hour.

Hou Xiaoge's job was just to control the mental power and spatial power to pour some wheat and sweep the wheat into the feed port of the stone mill.

"Zila!"

While the two donkeys were working hard to grind the mill, Hou Xiaoge was also busy making noodles.

Now that he had the seasoning, Hou Xiaoge naturally wanted to make something delicious to reward himself.

Hou Xiaoge scooped out three-finger-wide wide noodles from the noodle soup, added spicy noodles, soy sauce, salt, and aged vinegar, and finally splashed some fragrant rapeseed oil on the noodles. A bowl of oil-splashed noodles was ready.

"I haven't eaten oil-splashed noodles for a long time. I had it this afternoon." As a Qin person, Hou Xiaoge would feel uncomfortable if he didn't eat noodles for a day. He has been craving for them for the past half month.

"Oh my god! It smells so good!" Hou Xiaoge took a sip and was completely dizzy from the aroma.

If you eat noodles without garlic, the flavor will be half lost. Take out the peeled garlic cloves, take a bite, and the spicy feeling directly fills your whole body. Hou Xiaoge just feels a lot more comfortable.

He just ate a big bowl of noodles, more than a pound, and then had a bowl of noodle soup to smooth over the gaps. Hou Xiaoge now felt that he would not trade it for anything even if he were a god.
