Xu Yue felt that as soon as her eyes closed and she hadn't slept much, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
The family was woken up, got up and opened the door. They saw the tenants on the farm, headed by Lao Wutou and others, carrying empty poles and torches, all smiling at the family.
It turned out that I was here to get tofu.
It takes more than an hour to walk from Wubao to the county seat. If you want to catch the morning market, you have to start from Wubao before dawn.
What's more, I have to drive the sheep together, so I get up earlier.
The Gongsun family's management of tenants is quite humane. Although they charge high land rents, they do not have too many restrictions in other aspects.
After all, people can't be driven to a dead end, so even if the tenants leave Wubao to find extra money, the Gongsun family will not interfere.
Xu Da opened the door and let everyone in. Twenty slabs of steaming tofu were scraped clean in one go.
It was still dark, probably around three o'clock in the morning, when a long torchlight procession appeared in the center of Wubao, leaving Wubao and heading towards the county seat.
The Xu Yue family stood at the door and watched them leave. They all yawned, closed the courtyard door, and continued to catch up on their sleep.
After sleeping until dawn, when Xu Yue woke up, there were already rustling sounds in the courtyard. It was Wang Youliang who had gotten up early and was lighting a fire in the kitchen to make breakfast.
Xu Da left without knowing when. He always got up early, no matter it was windy or raining, he would go to the top of the mountain every day to absorb and breathe.
Therefore, he is always the first one in the family to go out.
There was also the sound of banging in Auntie's tool shed, and occasionally there were sounds of Wang Dayou coming over with some parts and the two of them discussing.
At this time, only the Xu Yue brother and sister were sleeping.
The three of them opened the door at the same time and called Wang Youliang, who wanted to escape, to do morning exercises together.
If you have practiced martial arts, you must continue to learn literature.
At the right time every day, Junmei and her brother would come to Xu Yue's house to learn new knowledge, carrying the small wooden boards that their father had helped make.
I practiced until about 9:30 in the morning, and then I heated up the leftover dishes from last night and made a meal.
In the era when there were no chili peppers and no other seasonings, a family of five didn't even bother to fry vegetables. They basically just wanted to fill their stomachs.
Occasionally Xu Yue cooks so that the family can have a good meal.
However, the food that seems unappetizing in the family is a different situation for Wang Youliang, an aborigine.
White flour steamed buns can be eaten every day, sweet soy milk and tofu are available all day long, as well as various kinds of tofu made in different styles. It is simply a life that only gods can live.
In response, Xu Yue said, young man, you are still too young.
Seeing Wang Youliang drinking soy milk, Xu Yue was also greedy. She ran to the cupboard and dug out the sugar jar, and found that the sugar inside had reached the bottom at some point.
There are generally two types of sugar at this time, one is pure natural honey and flower syrup.
There is another kind, which is processed from sugar cane and grain. The maltose and brown sugar that the public can buy daily are mostly in lump form.
In Xu Yue's view, these two types of sugar are nothing compared to modern fine white sugar.
It's a pity that she is in the north. If she wants to make sugar, she first needs a sugar cane forest in the south.
Therefore, Xu Yue could only think about the idea of making candy for the time being.
There were still two small pieces of malt sugar in the jar. Xu Yue took it out and cut off some of the corners with a knife, and put it in the soy milk. It was slightly sweet, and it was already the best drink you could get now.
After having breakfast and resting for a while, the three Xu Yue brothers continued grinding beans and boiling tofu.
I started working early today, grinding all the soy milk to be ground in the middle of the afternoon, and just waiting to brew it in the evening.
With some free time, Xu Yue had the opportunity to read the book she borrowed from her cousin yesterday.
This book is made of paper, and the paper is not very good. The words on it were copied by hand. The words are quite beautiful, but they are a bit blurry due to the paper.
This book is equivalent to a children's enlightenment book of this era. It talks about some folk slang, climate festivals and the like.
Xu Yue read it all in half an hour, then took out the charcoal strips and wooden boards that had been prepared in advance and started copying.
I copied two copies in total, one to keep for Junmei and Wang Youliang to teach, and the other to hand over to the technology tree to see what I can exchange for it.
Not long ago, through the efforts of the whole family, everyone used their brains to recall the knowledge points of their respective worlds, and finally unlocked all the sealed laboratories in Xu Yue.
With so many raw materials for pharmaceuticals in hand, Xu Yue suddenly felt a sense of security. At least for her, the existing diseases basically did not pose much of a threat as long as they were properly prevented.
After copying for an afternoon, Xu Yue finally finished copying two children's enlightenment books.
Books at this time were expensive, and my cousin was going back to school tomorrow, so Xu Yue returned the book immediately after finishing it.
Then she discovered that her cousins looked at her a little strangely, as if they were angry, but also as if they were trying to figure her out, with very complicated expressions.
Xu Yue didn't understand, so she waved to the two of them, said goodbye and went home.
Before I got home, I saw my brother Xu Dalang standing by the river looking at him from a distance.
He was still worried about letting Xu Yue leave his sight alone, so he came to the river and watched Xu Yue go to his aunt's house from a distance, and then watched her walk back from a distance.
After confirming that she could walk safely in the Uburg, the young man's eyes revealed a deep sense of loss.
"elder brother!"
Xu Yue ran over in surprise.
Suddenly, the disappointment in Xu Dalang's eyes was infected by joy, and he grinned brightly at the villain running towards him.
Then he turned around and squatted down.
The two brothers and sisters had a tacit understanding. Xu Yue immediately jumped on her brother's back and hugged his neck.
Xu Dalang held his sister firmly, carried her on his back, and took long strides. The brother and sister walked back home together in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The shadows of the two people were cast on the ground, stretching very long...
At night, before going to bed, the whole family of five knelt on the straw mat in the middle of the main room.
The other four people restrained their excitement and looked at Xu Yue.
Under the watchful eyes of the family, Xu Yue took a deep breath nervously, and with a thought, took out a big thing from the research room - a beater!
It can be seen that this is a brand new beater, with a green body and a metallic luster.
The fuselage is one meter high, one meter long and sixty centimeters wide. It is equipped with a core engine and an intelligent power-off system to ensure safety.
If it is running, it will take twenty minutes to grind all the beans that the three Xu brothers and sisters need to grind in a day.
This is what Xu Yue sacrificed in exchange for the copied children's enlightenment book and the technology tree.
Because this is the trio of Mo Mo brothers and sisters, the Mo Mo saviors who are most longed for in their hearts.
So the moment Xu Yue got the energy fruit, the first thing she thought of was to exchange it for a beater.
Then I discovered...it had no electricity in ancient times!
