Chapter 3 Unfamiliar Familiarity

Just when Fangyuan was about to give up, he found a vegetable cellar on the outermost edge. This vegetable cellar was also buried, but it was buried shallower, so Fangyuan dug it out.

This vegetable cellar is at the very edge of this broken wall, only about ten meters away from the reed marsh. If Fangyuan was really just a child, he would probably run far away and never come here.

For example, the previous owner of this body was almost dead, but he still found a place to stay close to the factory wall.

When I opened the entrance to the vegetable cellar, it was pitch dark inside and I couldn't see anything. Fortunately, there was a ladder inside.

I don’t know how many years this ladder has been in the vegetable cellar and whether it has become rotten. Fortunately, he is only a child now, so there should be no problem.

However, Fangyuan still stretched out one foot and tried it first. After feeling that there was no problem, he went down. The vegetable cellar was not very deep, only about three meters. Fangyuan quickly reached the bottom of the vegetable cellar.

He took out a box of matches from his pocket, which was also taken from the kitchen in the factory. The match made a "prick" sound and he opened it. By the light of the match, Fangyuan discovered that the vegetable cellar was very large.

It was at least seven or eight square meters, which made Fangyuan very excited, because he not only found a place to store the food, but also found a place for himself.

It's great to live in a vegetable cellar! It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and you don't have to worry about being discovered. In this day and age, there are a lot of homeless people fleeing the famine, so maybe someone will touch this place.

Although he lived for forty years in his previous life, he is just a child now. If he can't be beaten, he won't be robbed by others!

So he planned to regard this place as his home from now on, at least for the time being, until he became familiar with the surrounding environment.

Fangyuan did not move the grain immediately. Instead, after coming out of the vegetable cellar, he first modified the lid of the vegetable cellar.

The first thing to do is to make some disguise so that even if someone passes by, you won't be noticed, or even if you step on it, you won't be noticed.

The second is breathability. Although the vegetable cellar is not very deep, after the lid is closed, the air cannot circulate and there is less oxygen.

If he didn't starve to death by then, but died in the vegetable cellar due to lack of oxygen, it would be a bit worthless, so he wanted to reform it.

Because it not only needs to be breathable, but also cannot leak. Otherwise, if it rains heavily outside and light rains inside, this won’t work either.

It's just that this is more difficult. Of course, this is only relatively speaking. As a person who came from the 21st century, this is not a problem, it is just a little troublesome.

Of course it will take some time, but what he lacks most now is time.

I first made some camouflage and then ventilated it. As for the rain protection, I put this aside for now and will talk about it later. There is no way, because it takes time to do that.

After it was completely dark, Fangyuan started to move the food. It took almost two hours, and he was almost exhausted before Fangyuan moved everything into the vegetable cellar.

Then Fangyuan grabbed a few handfuls of cornmeal and put them into a lunch box, climbed out of the vegetable cellar, and filled the lunch box with some water in the reed marsh.

Fangyuan has visited this place during the day, and also drank a lot of water here. The water in this era is really clean.

Even the reed marshes are the same, they are light and translucent, and you can see the sediment under the water at a glance. This is something that future generations would never dare to think of.

After filling the water, Fangyuan found a corner, propped up two half bricks, put the lunch box on it, picked up some firewood nearby, and took out the match to light it.

As for igniting the fire, there were reeds nearby, so you could get some of them together. After cooking the porridge, Fangyuan took out two potatoes from his pocket and put them on the fire. He buried the potatoes with ashes and used some soil to light the fire.

Buried in ashes.

The reason why Fangyuan cooked two potatoes was to prepare some food for himself, so that he could take it out when he was hungry.

Because there is no oil and water, although you are full after eating, you still get hungry easily, and you cannot light a fire during the day, so it is not unnecessary to prepare some.

This is mainly because the vegetable cellar has not been renovated. If it is renovated, Fangyuan can cook in the vegetable cellar, and then there is no need to worry about being discovered.

However, if you want to transform into cooking in the vegetable cellar without being discovered, this is a big project that cannot be completed in three to five days, so for a while, Fangyuan can only eat a few cooked potatoes during the day.

After finishing the porridge, Fangyuan washed the lunch box in the water in the reed marsh, then took out the potatoes and returned to the vegetable cellar.

A lantern brought from the factory was lit, and the entire vegetable cellar became brighter. There were grains in one corner, and the rest were just a few sacks.

Apart from these things, there was nothing in the vegetable cellar. Then Fangyuan went out of the vegetable cellar again and came to the reed marsh. Fangyuan started to pull the reed flowers.

Although it wasn't cold in the vegetable cellar, it was very humid, so Fangyuan planned to get some reed flowers to spread underneath. There were a lot of them anyway, so Fangyuan got some more.

After running back and forth several times, I finally laid a thick layer on the ground, and then Fangyuan spread a sack on top.

The current Fang Yuan was not as long as a sack when he lay down, so one sack was enough. Then he pulled another sack over and covered him with it when he was going to sleep.

Although this thing is relatively crude, it can really keep out the cold. Fortunately, it is in a vegetable cellar. If it were outside, it would probably have to be covered with several strips.

Fangyuan put out the lantern, lay down and went to sleep. He said nothing all night. He got up before dawn the next morning because he had to make porridge before dawn.

Because if you light a fire after dawn, the smoke will attract other people's attention. As for why you are not afraid that the fire will attract other people's attention, there is no need to worry about this at all.

Although there are only broken walls here, there is a large area that can completely block the firelight, and the square is not stupid.

After the porridge was ready, Fangyuan buried the fire ashes again, firstly to prevent the fire from being blown into the reed marsh by the wind, and secondly to bury the traces.

This time, Fangyuan did not eat outside. Instead, she carried her lunch box into the vegetable cellar. She finished the porridge happily in the vegetable cellar, and then went out with two potatoes in her pocket.

The weather is relatively good today. Fangyuan wants to go out for a walk. At least he needs to find out where this place is.

He knew that this was the imperial capital, but he didn't know where it was, so he had to find out that this was a habit from Fangyuan's previous life.

Especially when he arrived in a strange place, even if he didn't do anything, he still had to explore the surrounding area first.

Fangyuan followed the factory wall to the east, because to the west was an endless reed swamp, and only the houses could be seen to the east.

Fangyuan made a visual inspection of the factory's courtyard wall and found that it was about six to seven hundred meters long from the east end to the west end. His location was farther to the west.

The distance of about four hundred meters ended in ten minutes. At this time, Fangyuan discovered that there seemed to be a street to the east of the factory.

Because there were many houses here, the courtyard wall had previously blocked them, so he could only see a small part of the houses. Now that he was at the east end of the factory, there was nothing blocking them, and he could see clearly.

There is a road to the east of the factory. It is actually a cement road, and it is a very narrow one. However, in this era, it is already a luxury to build a cement road.

It was probably because of this factory. Walking south along the road, after walking for about seven or eight minutes, the factory gate appeared in front of Fangyuan.

Right above the gate, there is a banner made of red cloth, with slogans unique to this era written on yellow paper.

At the same time, Fangyuan also knew what kind of factory this was, Qinghe Woolen Mill, yes! It was Qinghe Woolen Mill.

Qinghe is a place known to Fangyuan, and it is very famous in later generations. Let’s put it this way! Although it is outside the North Fifth Ring Road in later generations, its housing prices are even higher than those near the North Fourth Ring Road.

But in this era, this place is just a commune. Qinghe Commune can definitely be regarded as a suburb within a suburb.

The current imperial capital has four gates in the southeast and northwest, namely Jianguo Gate in the east, Yongding Gate in the south, Fucheng Gate in the west, and Desheng Gate in the north. After these four gates, it belongs to the suburbs.

Qinghe is located in the north of the imperial capital, about 12 kilometers away from Deshengmen. If you rode an electric bike in later generations, you could reach 12 kilometers away in minutes.

But in this era when even bicycles are rare, these twelve kilometers are a bit far. If you walk, even for an adult, it will take more than two hours, and this is without being able to rest halfway.

So now this place can definitely be regarded as a suburb within a suburb. Knowing what kind of place this is, Fangyuan has a good idea.

Although the Qinghe of today is very different from that of later generations, it probably still has some outlines, at least it won't make people feel too unfamiliar.

Don't forget that Fangyuan had been in the Imperial Capital for more than ten years in his previous life. There were really few places in the Imperial Capital that he had not been to, especially Qinghe, because many tourist attractions would pass by here when starting from the city.

For example, the Badaling Great Wall, the Ming Tombs, etc., and there are some other attractions. In fact, the Badaling Great Wall is enough, because many people come to the imperial capital and the first place they go is the Badaling Great Wall.

There is only one street in Qinghe Commune now, which goes from the east gate of the Woolen Mill to the east. Even in later generations, this street was the main street of Qinghe.

People in the entire commune live on both sides of this street. This street is very long, almost two kilometers from the west end to the east end.

This may not be a big deal in later generations, but in this era, this is already considered a very long street.

In fact, the reason why there is such a long street is because of the woolen mill. Before the woolen mill moved here, this street was only a small section at the east end.

In order to facilitate the transportation of vehicles in the woolen mill, the road was built to the gate of the woolen mill, and then people nearby built houses on both sides of the road, forming this relatively long street.
