Chapter 4 There is a trick
Before leaving, Old Lady Shen specifically called Xie Heng out. The two of them whispered for a while, and no one knew what they were talking about. Xie Heng nodded and followed Old Lady Shen. After a while, he brought back a bag of sweet potatoes and a juicy cabbage. Xie Heng said that they were given by his grandmother.
Cheng Hui thought that it was getting late and it was indeed time for dinner. It was time to cook, but the question was what to cook?
Cheng Hui slowly looked around, hoping to find some usable ingredients. However, after a quick glance, the only food that caught her eye was a bag of sweet potatoes and a cabbage tightly held in her son's hands. She took them resignedly and walked towards the kitchen with a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that perhaps she could find something usable in the kitchen.
Obviously, her hopes were dashed again. Xie Songlin had sold all their daily necessities, and she really suspected that they were able to travel through time and space because the original mother and daughter had starved to death.
"It's really a locust swarm." Cheng Hui sighed.
"Mom, what bug are you talking about?" Xie Heng peeked in at the door.
"Nothing. Go call your father over, then go look after your sister. Mom will call you when she's done cooking."
"Yes! Mom!" Xie Heng excitedly took the task and went.
Cheng Hui saw Xie Songlin enter the kitchen, looked outside and closed the kitchen door. She had just heard the noise inexplicably coming out of the big villa, and before she could figure out how to get back, she was interrupted by Xie Heng and Old Lady Shen. Now that she was free, she sent Xie Heng to Xie Wanxing to look after him, and she and Xie Songlin planned to continue trying out the things in the space.
"How did we get in just now?" Cheng Hui tried hard to recall.
"It seems that he just went in when he was thinking about going in!" Xie Songlin answered uncertainly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed before his eyes, and the two of them reappeared in the big villa, in front of the wide-open refrigerator door before they were reported out.
Cheng Hui looked at the refrigerator full of ingredients and didn't dare to start eating. She was conflicted. She thought of what her daughter said. It would be good if they could replenish the stock, but what if they couldn't?
She didn't dare take the meat. The Xie family was extremely poor now, and it would be unreasonable to take out a plate of meat to fry it. Her eyes fell on the eggs. After thinking for a while, she took out two eggs from the refrigerator and some simple seasonings such as oil and salt from the seasoning table.
"Hey, wife, please take a couple of eggs. I got beaten up right after I got here, and I need to replenish my energy. Eggs here are only two cents each. We three modern people, couldn't we even earn a few coppers in ancient times?"
Cheng Hui rolled her eyes at Xie Songlin, but two more eggs finally came out. Before she could continue looking for ingredients, the two of them were called out again.
Cheng Hui and Xie Songlin looked at each other in bewilderment. Was there a time limit in this space? They decided to go back in later to count the time and see how long they could stay in there, so as to plan their future actions.
This mysterious space may become the key to their survival, and they must figure out its rules as soon as possible.
After getting the basic ingredients and seasonings, Cheng Hui stopped thinking about it. The water tank in the kitchen was still there. Maybe it was too heavy and Xie Songlin was too lazy to move it out to sell. However, there was only half a tank of water left. She scooped a bucket of water, washed the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, and steamed them in a pot. She also beat four eggs and made a plate of tender scrambled eggs.
There is no need to add oil to the pot. Just use the oil left over from scrambling the eggs and throw the washed and chopped cabbage into the pot and stir-fry. Just season it with simple salt. In ancient times, this unpolluted farm cabbage was also crisp and refreshing.
Cheng Hui really didn't want to eat in the bedroom, but there was no other way. There were only three rooms in this thatched house. One was a bedroom where several people gathered together, with a tattered square table. Another was a kitchen. Apart from the stove, there was no place to put things and no chairs to sit on. The last room was a smaller one, which was a simple toilet.
She resigned herself to her fate and brought the two dishes of fried food and steamed sweet potatoes back into the house, and asked everyone to sit down. The family of three had their first meal since traveling through time. Xie Heng was stunned by the dishes on the table. There were no chickens at home, so where did his mother get the eggs?
Xie Wanxing directly reached for the scrambled eggs with his chopsticks, while Xie Heng sat aside without moving his chopsticks, his eyes slightly red.
"Mom, please don't give me too much of these eggs in the future. Eggs can be exchanged for money. Let's redeem our brothers as soon as possible, and Heng'er won't have to eat eggs anymore."
The three of them were deeply saddened by Xie Heng's words. Even Xie Wanxing, who was extremely hungry, put down his chopsticks.
"Good boy, eat quickly. Dad and mom will go to earn money tomorrow. Your brothers will be back. Heng'er can also eat eggs, okay?" Cheng Hui stretched out her hand and gently touched Xie Heng's head.
How could the original owner have the heart to sell such a sensible child? Cheng Hui secretly cursed Xie Songlin in her heart.
"Brother, eat." Xie Wanxing picked up an egg with chopsticks for Xie Heng and imitated the tone of a child to coax his little brother.
Xie Heng blinked away his tears and put the egg into his mouth. His eyes lit up as soon as he ate it. He had indeed never eaten such delicious scrambled eggs. Of course, his home was always messy as far as he could remember, and he had not eaten eggs many times.
"Thank you, sister. It's delicious. Thank you, mom and dad."
The meal was finished with one person moved and three people sad. It was dark when they finished packing up. Maybe Xie Heng was tired from crying during the day, but he was very well-behaved. He didn't need anyone to coax him. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
The family of three quietly sat down a little further away from Xie Heng, not daring to make too much noise. They looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and silently said in their hearts, "Enter!"
After the familiar white light, the three of them appeared at the old position again. After three consecutive times, they had roughly mastered the method of entering this space.
"Hurry up, hurry up, find a watch and see how many minutes it will take for the news to be spread."
Xie Songlin immediately brought the digital clock from the living room over. It was still working. Could this space have electricity? Wouldn't that mean he could turn on the computer, TV, and everything else?
But obviously, reality disappointed Xie Songlin again. No matter how he fiddled with the TV and computer, there was no response at all. However, the tablet and mobile phone could still light up unexpectedly, and they were still fully charged, but there was naturally no signal.
After giving up the idea of tinkering with electronic products, the three of them slowly sat down around the electronic clock, carefully noting the time while discussing how to start making money.
As a professional emergency doctor, Xie Wanxing had no problem curing illnesses and saving lives in ancient times, but she looked down at her outstretched short hands and sighed helplessly.
Given her childish appearance now, I'm afraid no one would dare to ask her to treat her if she went out to see patients.
It is definitely unrealistic to ask Xie Songlin and Cheng Hui to go out and do odd jobs. In this era, labor is the least valuable. They may only earn dozens of copper coins after working hard to move goods at the dock for a day. They don’t know when they can earn enough money to redeem their two eldest sons after working so hard, not to mention that they may not be able to move the goods.
The best way is to do some small business. Doing business naturally requires costs. Xie Songlin fumbled in his arms for a long time and counted out about twenty copper coins. He smiled awkwardly.
"This is all my belongings. I guess you don't have any money in your pockets."
Cheng Hui and Xie Wanxing rolled their eyes at him. It was extremely difficult to start a business that could make a lot of money with just twenty or so copper coins.
"I got it!" Xie Wanxing chewed on his fingers for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh with his little hand.
The next second, before their parents could ask any further questions, the three of them were called out one after another and returned to the dim thatched hut. The electronic clock showed that it was exactly nine minutes before they left, which was equal to the dozens of seconds they wasted looking for the clock after they came in.
After these few times of entering and exiting, Xie Wanxing basically determined that the maximum time he could stay in the space was probably ten minutes.
