The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

The next day, Lu Qingqing was surprised to find that the layer of peaches in the space that was in contact with the soil had begun to rot.

On the bluestone table by the well, a few peaches that had been washed and placed there ready to be eaten at any time remained in their original state.

Not sure whether it was due to the well water or the soil, Lu Qingqing conducted a few more experiments.

The peaches washed with well water and the unwashed peaches were placed on wooden boards isolated from the ground, and the washed peaches were placed directly in contact with the ground.

As a result, the peaches that touched the ground rotted again, while the peaches on the board remained intact.

The conclusion is that well water has no preservative effect, and isolating the ground in the space can keep food fresh.

Lu Qingqing planned to collect more wood or flat stones to make shelves to isolate the ground and keep the food fresh.

Lu Qingqing secretly held up the pheasant eggs she had collected from the mountains to the sun.

There are a few dark ones inside, which feel a bit heavy to hold. They may be about to hatch.

She put it in the space, and I don’t know if it can still hatch.

There were two more that could transmit light when facing the sun and were very light to the touch. Lu Qingqing secretly cooked them while cooking.

While out cutting grass for pigs, I secretly ate the pheasant eggs over two days, and even licked the remaining residue on the palm of my hand clean.

Don’t ask why she didn’t give it to her parents and younger brother. It can only be said that little girls in ancient times had no human rights.

Old Mrs. Lu has a tight control over the eggs, rice, flour, oil and other food in the house.

My original father, Boss Lu, was the strong laborer in the family. In addition to two meals a day, morning and evening, he could eat an egg or duck egg every now and then at the dinner table.

As for his younger brother Dazhuang, as the eldest grandson, he is deeply loved by Old Man Lu and can occasionally enjoy the special meals prepared by Old Lady Lu.

In the original body's memory, Old Lady Lu often called her sons and grandsons into the house to cook for her after dinner.

After the family had dinner, Grandma Lu sent her daughter-in-law and granddaughter back to the house and she started busying herself in the kitchen. Soon, the aroma of oil and meat wafted out.

When the original body was still young, it smelled the fragrance and went to Boss Lu to ask for delicious food. After being scolded, it didn't dare to make trouble again.

As for the original body's mother, Lu Li, she valued her younger brother Dazhuang and her nephew from her mother's side more. Occasionally, when the family had a good meal, she would deduct some from the original body.

Before traveling through time, Lu Qingqing was also raised and loved by her grandparents. People who have been loved naturally have a different understanding of their family than their original selves.

According to the original body's memory, he was the first child in the family, and Boss Lu, who had just become a father, still had some affection for the original body.

This manifested itself in the fact that during the slack season, the family would occasionally leave some steamed bread for their younger brother and the original owner.

However, he also tacitly acknowledged that the special treatment that Grandma Lu gave to her children and grandchildren had nothing to do with his daughter.

And once the original body has a conflict with his younger brother, Boss Lu will definitely force the original body to compromise.

As for the patient teaching and riding a big horse that the original body envied very much, these were exclusive to the younger brother Dazhuang.

The most common thing Lu Li said to the original body was to take good care of his younger brother, and that his younger brother would be his support from now on.

Lu Li had six older sisters and one younger brother. She was almost drowned in a urine bucket when she was born. She was taught from a young age that she was alive because of her younger brother Li Jinbao.

Growing up in this situation, Lu Li's education of his original body also developed in the direction of "Fu Di Mo".

During the few days that Lu Qingqing had been here, she had felt nothing but indifference from the other members of the Lu family.

Perhaps in places where material resources are scarce, people do not have extra affection to give to others.

Lu Qingqing was very sure of one thing: if a famine occurred now, she would be the first in her family to be sold or starve to death.

In order to survive, you must store more food in the space.

The planting season here has passed, and Lu Qingqing plans to go to the town to see if there is any chance to get some grain seeds.

I asked my little sister Guihua yesterday and found out that there is a big market in town today.

The original body had a good relationship with Guihua. Her family lived next door to the Lu family, separated by a road.

She was the daughter of the youngest son of the old village chief, three years older than herself. She came from a well-off family and was favored at home. She was often taken to the market by her family.

The town is about an hour's journey from the village to the village. The town holds a big market on every fifth and tenth day of the month, and it is very crowded during the market.

Lu Qingqing planned to secretly go to the town today to see if she could find an opportunity to sell the peaches and buy some seeds.

Even if not, going to the town can help you learn more about this dynasty.

After breakfast, when the adults had left, Lu Qingqing poured the pig grass that had been left yesterday into the pen.

After instructing Dazhuang to look after his younger brothers and sisters, he hurried to the town.

Lu Qingqing calculated the time and learned that it would take an adult about an hour to go back and forth.

She was small and weak, so she probably needed to walk and rest, so she calculated it as two hours.

In ancient times, one hour was equivalent to two hours today.

It was about six o'clock in the morning, and she had to be back to cook before 11:30 in the morning.

That means we still have about an hour and a half in town.

Lu Qingqing has the memory of her original body telling time, but it feels not very accurate.

Just in case, she had to rush back early.

According to what we learned before, go straight along the main road and don't turn at the small fork.

Lu Qingqing felt like she had been walking for a long time and was tired and hungry.

I sat on a stone by the roadside to rest for a while. Seeing that there was no one around, I scooped up the space water in my hands and took two sips.

As soon as I drank the cool well water, I felt refreshed.

Don't get me wrong, Lu Qingqing had experimented with this water before. It doesn't have any special effects, it's just sweeter than ordinary water.

As for some novels, there is absolutely no such thing as the spiritual spring water in the space curing all diseases.

After slowing down for a while, I stood up and continued walking forward, thinking that if I spent less time on the road, I could spend more time walking around the town.

On the way, we also encountered an ox cart going to the town.

Lu Qingqing asked and found out that this kind of ox cart charges two cents for a one-way trip and three cents for a round trip.

The old man driving the ox cart even called out to Lu Qingqing specifically, wanting to see if she would ride in the ox cart.

Staring at the tattered straw sandals on her feet, Lu Qingqing thought that her pockets were cleaner than her face now, so she shook her head decisively, refused the old man, and continued on her way.

When Lu Qingqing's feet were burning with pain, she finally saw a group of low blue brick houses in front of her. They were completely different from what she had seen in movies and TV dramas before.

There are no walls around the town. Most of the houses in the town are made of blue bricks and covered with tiles, which is better than the yellow mud walls and thatched roofs in the village.

As soon as she entered the town, the aroma of meat buns hit her in the face. Lu Qingqing stared at the stall selling steamed buns and dumplings at the entrance. She had never thought that dumplings could be so fragrant.

Remembering that he had no money now, he sighed and continued walking inside.

There are stalls on the roadside, and when people pass by, the vendors will shout and introduce the items on their stalls.

Most of the items on the stalls are vegetables grown by farmers themselves, or hand-woven backpacks and straw hats.

Continuing walking further in, we finally found a two-story inn. The traditional Chinese characters on the plaque looked very similar to Yuelai Inn.

This is the most elegant building Lu Qingqing has seen since traveling to ancient times.

Of course, up to now, she has only seen this two-story building.

After touring the town, I found that apart from the house of Mr. Yang in the north of the town, the most magnificent one was the Yuelai Inn.

Other grain stores, oil stores, cloth stores, grocery stores, and liquor stores are mostly ordinary blue brick houses.

Before Lu Qingqing traveled through time, she was an ordinary working class person. She didn't know how to make clothes, brew wine, make paper, or make gunpowder. Her cooking skills were just not bad.

In other time-travel novels, the protagonists can earn dozens of taels of silver by embroidery, winemaking, gourmet recipes, etc., but that doesn't work for her.

Lu Qingqing found a secluded corner and pretended to organize the backpack.

He covered the lid of the backpack, picked out the good quality peaches from the space and put them in the backpack. After filling most of the basket, he carried the heavy basket into Yuelai Inn.
