After the rooms were assigned, a group of people began to sweep the house. Since the owner had already left, it would be a waste to leave the remaining things.
The main house is where the owners of the house live. There are a lot of clothes in it, but they are all summer clothes, and they are all silk and satin robes. Although they are decent, wearing this to escape is like having "I" written all over your body.
If you have money, come and grab it." So these clothes were eventually taken into Xuannv Hall.
The two wing rooms were occupied by the son of the owner of the house, and they were all dressed in men's clothing, but the clothes were of a suitable size. This allowed Qingyu and Hongtao to finally have something to change for the time being.
Then came the kitchen, with some flour and rice left, as well as some vegetables and eggs. It was difficult to get these things. I think the owner only took away the money and left this little food behind.
In the more than a month since they came to this world, Qingyu and the others have not eaten precious foods such as rice, noodles, and eggs, so at this time, when they saw these foods, they all jumped with excitement.
Hong Tao even held a handful of white and soft noodles and kept asking how to eat it.
Zhufeng looked at Wen Ya, then at Tong, and said with a smile: "Neither of us are good at cooking, so I'd better leave the cooking to you, lest we waste this precious food."
Mrs. Tong was a little surprised that there was a woman who couldn't cook? But then she thought about it, the hostess of the Bai family was not more powerful than the cook, so she nodded happily. She was useless all the way.
Now I finally feel like I can be of some use, and I'm very happy.
Next, Mrs. Tong began to prepare dinner. There was not much left, about one kilogram of flour, about half a kilogram of rice, seven eggs, and some rotten leafy vegetables. They must have been removed and thrown away.
Yes, but Tong also took advantage of them.
At that time, the whole city was pitch black, so no one could see the smoke coming from the stove on her side, so it was considered safe.
While Mrs. Tong was cooking, Zhufeng Wenya and Zhao Qian went to fetch water. The well was behind the penthouse. Fortunately, there were buckets and everything.
Zhao Qian carried a small jar on his back, which could hold a bucket of water. After filling the water, he said he would go to the kitchen to help Tong, and then left.
Both Zhufeng and Wen Ya were secretly thankful, as they were still worried about whether they would have to get up secretly in the middle of the night to fill the water tank.
In order to prevent Zhao Qian from returning, they quickly called Qingyu over, took out all the empty containers in Xuannv Hall, and quickly filled them with water. When all the containers were filled, the two of them were so tired that their waists were broken.
I can't stand up straight anymore.
However, considering that this water is enough for them to eat for more than a month, this tiredness is nothing.
"Fortunately, there's not a severe drought yet, otherwise we wouldn't even have water to drink. That would be the real desperate situation in the world." Zhufeng said with emotion.
Qingyu sighed coolly: "It's just around the corner. Locust plagues are often accompanied by droughts. This year, the weather is already dry and there will be less rain. A severe drought is just a matter of time."
Zhufeng's face that had just relaxed suddenly fell down again, "Junior Sister, headmaster, can you stop inserting a knife into people's hearts like this?" He finally relaxed a little, but now he was told that difficulties are still to come.
Can it still give people some hope?
Qingyu glanced at him lightly, "If you want to deceive yourself and others, I won't stop you." Then she left.
Wen Ya kicked Zhufeng's foot and said, "Coward, this little difficulty has troubled you. Fortunately, you are still a real person who has been practicing for more than four hundred years, so you have lived so long in vain." Then she followed Qingyu's pace.
"I..." Zhufeng had nothing to say. He got up and followed him, cursing in his heart that he was a thief and that he was doing such harm to others.
But when Zhao Qian came to the kitchen, Tong, who was making noodles, was shocked and asked what was going on. Zhao Qian smiled, shook his head and said it was okay, and then sat in front of the kitchen to light the fire.
However, he didn't know how to make a fire, so he threw a few pieces of firewood into the stove hole until the whole house was filled with smoke.
Tong was angry and funny, so she pushed Zhao Qian to go out and not disturb her.
Mrs. Tong took the dough and rolled it out into two large buns. Then she put them into the hot iron pot and kept turning them. After the two sides were hard, she put them on the iron rack to bake them. After they were cooked, there were two buns.
.This is the most original taste. Take a bite and chew it carefully, it will be full of flavor and very filling.
Just as they were about to put the cooked buns out of the pot, Zhufeng and Wen Ya came in with two buckets of water each. Zhufeng said to Tong, "I have to trouble you to boil more hot water. Let's take a good bath tonight to get rid of the cold."
Drive away all the bad luck."
Mrs. Tong naturally agreed wholeheartedly. Although the kitchen was very busy, the feeling of being needed by everyone was really great for her.
...
Two large steamed buns, a large plate of stir-fried vegetable leaves with eggs, a bowl of pickled radish, and a pot of white rice are all you need for a hearty meal.
Zhao Qian found a jar of wine from somewhere and poured it on first, regardless of whether everyone drank or not. Not only did he earn money today, but he also had food and drink. He ate less rice and white noodles even when there was no famine.
For farmers, they can only eat it during the holidays. Today, all the good things have happened, how can you not be happy?
Zhufeng drank a little bit of wine, and he was also happy, so he and Zhao Qian had a few drinks. However, considering that they had to go on the road tomorrow, they didn't drink more. However, Zhao Qian still put the wine jar into his backpack, saying that it would be in the future.
If there are happy things, celebrate them.
After dinner, everyone washed the dishes and returned everything to their original places. Then Tong started to boil hot water. Ten people all had to take a bath and wash their hair. Tong burned three pots at the same time. It took more than an hour to get everyone to cook.
Everyone has finished washing.
They changed out of their dirty clothes and temporarily put on the original owner's clothes, and then each washed their own clothes. Now that the weather is hot, these clothes can be dried overnight.
Everything that needs to be tidied up is almost done. We have eaten, drank, and washed. Everyone went back to their houses to sleep.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Tong made porridge from the remaining rice, and baked the remaining noodles into steamed buns. The two families had a full meal and were extremely satisfied.
After dinner, Zhufeng and Wen Ya took Zhao Qian out to look for supplies. They went there for two hours, and it was nearly noon when the three of them came back with their backpacks on their backs.
Three pairs of straw sandals, two pairs of cloth shoes, three pieces of coarse cloth, two oil-paper umbrellas, and some radishes and other vegetables were all picked up on the roadside. In fact, most of the people who escaped knew how to lock the door and chase them away.
It was really difficult for Feng and the others to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard, but all they were short of was food, so it didn't matter if there were more or less other things.
The shoes were quickly distributed according to everyone's sizes. Jacob Zhufeng and Wen got a pair of straw sandals, and the remaining pair of straw sandals were suitable for Tong. The two pairs of cloth shoes, Shi'an and Hongtao, were suitable. As for Qingyu and Zhao's three children, their feet were too small.
, I can only make do with the original ones.
Each of the two families had an oil-paper umbrella. Finally, Wen Ya handed three pieces of cloth to Tong, "Sister, I think you know how to sew clothes, right? These cloths will be used to sew clothes for the children first. If there are any leftovers, they will be used to sew clothes for you and brother Zhao."
, we don’t have to worry about me and our family member, we have our own clothes.”
Mrs. Tong naturally knows how to sew, so she took it immediately and thanked her profusely, "Okay, I'll hurry up and make it."
"There's no rush, just do it when you have time. Don't be too tired, after all..." She glanced at Tong's belly and felt a little sympathetic. Tong didn't pay attention, turned around and put the cloth in her backpack.
Zhufeng held two small cloth bags and handed them to Zhao Qian, "Here are the things you want. The bag on the left is for warming and nourishing the body."
Zhao Qian understood immediately, felt grateful, and then called Tong to prepare the medicine.
For lunch, Ms. Tong was still in charge. She stewed a mixture of radish and other vegetables, which was quite refreshing to eat.
After lunch, everyone changed back into their own clothes. Although the clothes were still tattered, they felt comfortable after being washed. The body was no longer sticky, the face was clean, the scalp was no longer itchy, and the whole body felt refreshed.
When the time was up and the sun was getting low, everyone put their baskets on their backs and prepared to set off. Qingyu made a divination as usual before going out, and then said: "We will take the water route."
