Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Father Liu decided to cut down a few thick trees, cut them into several sections, and then manually hollow out the core of the tree to automatically form a pot to hold things.

Anyway, it's just used to store things, it doesn't need to be too practical.

Cut down the tree and use a machete to hollow out the inside bit by bit. Put it on the ground and make sure it can hold water.

With a group of people taking turns to make the three irregular and ugly wooden basins, they were made. They were not good-looking but were usable. They were placed outside to collect rainwater for filtering.

After searching around nearby, I found a stone with a natural stone hole that could be used to make a mortar. Anything like an awl could be used as long as it could crush the Pueraria root.

The next day, everyone was in the cave, preparing to start making kudzu powder.

First, boil some water in a pot to clean the Pueraria root and remove the mud and impurities on the surface. Then dry it or wipe off the surface moisture to prevent the introduction of unnecessary bacteria during the production process.

The next step is grinding and filtering, cutting the processed kudzu root into small pieces or slices for easier grinding.

You can use a mortar to grind it, or you can grind it directly on a stone slab with another stone slab to ensure that the kudzu root pieces are evenly stressed to avoid producing too many coarse particles or impurities.

Anyway, just do everything possible to grind the Pueraria root as finely as possible.

The ground kudzu root powder often contains more fibers and impurities, so it needs to be filtered.

Pour the kudzu root powder slurry into fine gauze and gently squeeze it with your hands to allow the powder slurry to flow out through the gauze, leaving behind coarser fibers and impurities.

The filtered kudzu root powder slurry should be clear and transparent, without obvious granularity.

Finally, the filtered kudzu root powder slurry is placed in large and small containers and left to stand for a while to allow the starch to settle naturally.

This process may take several hours or even longer, depending on the ambient temperature and the concentration of the kudzu root powder slurry.

After the sedimentation is completed, you can see that the upper layer is clear water and the lower layer is a compact kudzu starch layer.

Slowly pour out the upper layer of water, being careful not to stir the starch layer below.

Then, the precipitate containing kudzu starch is placed in a container and placed in a ventilated and dry place to dry naturally, or is dried at low temperature.

However, there was no sun now, so Liu's mother could only take out the kudzu roots, break them into pieces, and dry them little by little on the stone kang.

In fact, even if it is not very dry, it can be stored in the space for a long time, which makes it convenient to take it out and eat every time.

But with so much Pueraria root powder being made and everyone watching, they could only dry it bit by bit and put it out in the open.

In addition, it is Mrs. Zhao who is doing the cooking now, and she knows roughly where the food is stored.

She also participated in the entire process of making Pueraria powder. It’s okay to collect a small part, but if there is too much, it will definitely be noticeable.

In fact, it is best to put the prepared kudzu powder into a well-sealed container, such as a glass jar, ceramic jar or plastic bag, and store it in a cool and dry place.

Avoid direct sunlight and humid environments to prevent the kudzu powder from getting damp and deteriorating.

But they have nothing now.

Liu's mother and several maids packed a few cotton bags and put the dried kudzu root powder in them so that it could be preserved for a long time.

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For modern people like Liu Caixia, they have never experienced such a life. There are no mobile phones, no televisions, and no computers. They stayed in the cave for seven days, but everyone felt inexplicably at peace.

My eyesight is no longer blurry, and I have developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and my body has become much healthier.

In the evening, Liu's mother and two maids cooked two pots of kudzu root powder soup, adding diced rabbit meat, wild vegetables and diced mushrooms. Everyone who tasted the fresh food felt that it had a unique flavor.

Everyone's belly was full after eating so much. A lot of the soup was made. Usually they only eat until they are 60% to 70% full. This time more was made, so those who want to eat can eat more.

Let everyone have a full meal.

Every night in the cave, after dinner, Luo Hong would tell stories to the children. In fact, everyone in the cave could hear the stories.

The children listened to the story, and the adults did their own things while listening to the story.

Some were sorting herbs, some were sorting firewood, some were mending clothes, and some were doing nothing but lying down and chatting.

Women and children sleep inside, and several men sleep outside, separated by a bamboo fence. The men take turns to keep watch outside, which is similar to the life of a primitive tribe.

There are no monsters, no wars, just peace and tranquility.

Four days later, the wild vegetables and mushrooms at home had been dried and stored, and the kudzu root powder had also been dried and packed.

The firewood at home was chopped and dried on the kang and piled aside. On a rack nearby were a few pheasants and rabbits that had been smoked and were ready to be eaten slowly.

There is an illusion of being very wealthy!

Gradually, I feel safe!

In this way, the group rested in the cave for seven or eight days. That afternoon, the weather suddenly cleared up.

"It's finally sunny!"

After picking the mushrooms some time ago, about ten days have passed and new mushrooms should have grown.

Liu Caixia looked at the warm sunlight slanting in from the cave entrance, a long-lost smile on her face.

She turned to Liu Caiyun, who was fiddling with the hay in her hands, and said, "Dad, Mom, look, the sun is out. Is that a rainbow over there?"

"Yes, it's a rainbow..."

"The rainbow is out, come and see..."

The rainbow was fleeting. Just as the children cheered, the rainbow gradually disappeared.

Yes, beautiful things are always so short-lived.

But our life still has to go on, the storm is over.

"Dad, Mom, let's go out and pick some mushrooms. We can also explore the road and see what the situation is like outside. If it's still sunny tomorrow, we can prepare to leave."

"Okay, anyone who has nothing to do can go out for a walk. Although this cave is safe, it always feels stuffy. The children can also walk around here, but they can't go too far."

"Also, the rain has just stopped and there is water everywhere. Be careful when you walk. Getting your trouser legs wet is a small matter. Don't fall down. The children are walking around nearby.

I'll be watching from home. If you adults want to go pick mushrooms, go ahead. It's better to pick more mushrooms. We have a long way to go and we'll need more food."

Liu's mother gave instructions to the group of people who were eager to try and stood at the entrance of the cave.

Those who wanted to go out dressed neatly and walked out of the cave happily.

The air outside is extremely fresh, mixed with the fragrance of soil and flowers, which makes people feel refreshed.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and everything seems so vibrant.
