Before night fell, the villagers discovered a shallow stream not far away. If there was a stream, they could light a fire for cooking. For the villagers who had not had hot meals for a long time, this was a great joy.
The Wen family did the same thing. They first picked up some dead branches to make a stove, and then cooked porridge and made pancakes. They made more pancakes so that when they couldn't light a fire on the road, the dry pancakes could be swallowed directly.
Fortunately, the weather has gradually turned colder, and the pancakes will not go bad even if they are kept for a few days. However, the taste will become worse the longer they are kept. However, conditions do not allow it, so they can only eat it like this. Now they see
If there is water, it will be exciting.
"Don't drink it to make a fire. It's easy to get upset. Let's boil the water and let it cool down before drinking it." Wen Xin warned on one side, and said gently and unhappily on the other side: "Oh, I've been drinking raw water for so many years and it's no problem. Why?"
There will be problems if you drink now, and you are the only one who has more to do."
"Then you drink raw water, who cares about you? Good intentions are not rewarded. If it weren't for the myrrh on the road, who cares about this." After Wen Wen said that, she turned around and left. She didn't go far but went to care about the Zhang family.
"Uncle Zhang, do you have everything ready? Is there anything to eat?"
Really not. Butler Zhang said with a troubled face: "Xin'er, we are all separated. There are still some things on the carriage, but it won't last long. Do you think we can make a fight with you? We'll pay you
silver."
"That's not a problem. We can just go to Pingyao County to buy more food after we finish it. But the food we eat is relatively simple, and I'm afraid Sister Zhang won't be used to it." She just said a polite word, because this man was starving.
, what can’t be eaten? Is it possible that I will starve to death?
However, Zhang Mu, the Miss Zhang family, really didn't mind. Even the porridge and pickles cooked by the Wen family were delicious. When Zhang Mu heard her words, he quickly opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "I don't mind.
I'm worried that Xin'er won't agree."
"How could it be possible? It's not like Sister Zhang doesn't pay money."
Favors are hard to repay. Maybe it would be better to settle it with money and not owe each other anything. But she came here with another thing in mind. She said: "Sister Zhang, are you sick from the carriage? I have been on the road this way."
I heard you vomit several times."
Xiaoshuang nodded helplessly, "Yes, Miss has never traveled far. She usually doesn't notice it when she's walking around. Now that she's out, she might faint from the carriage."
Wen Xin stretched out her hand and asked Xiao Shuang to pull her into the carriage, and whispered: "I have something for you."
Xiaoshuang was very alert. While Wenxin extended her hand, she immediately hugged the person into the carriage. After she got into the carriage, she took out a pack of super super sour plums from her arms. These plums are specially designed to treat motion sickness.
It is specially prepared, and any nausea feeling can be suppressed quickly after taking one pill.
She bought the Hua Mei in the space mall. She tore the package in advance and packed it in a paper bag with food. People eat less now, so she had to save some to last for more than a month. She removed the Hua Mei from
He took it out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Mu, "Sister Zhang, these plums are good for treating carriage sickness. Take one and try it."
As soon as Xiaoshuang heard what she said, he took it excitedly, opened the package and stuffed one into his lady's mouth.
Zhang Mu had never eaten such sour plums before. Whatever he had felt before was suppressed by the sour taste, and he felt much more energetic.
Wen Wen asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling better? My brother took out all the plum seeds for me. Just eat them directly. If you have a knife, you can cut the plums into smaller pieces. Just hold one at a time."
, this way you can eat it longer.”
If you eat it like this, one pack of plums can last for 2-3 months as long as they don't go bad.
Zhang Mu was very touched by Wen Xin's behavior, "Xin'er, thank you, I didn't even tell you that I got sick from the carriage, so you just brought this to me, but what are you going to do?"
"We don't get motion sickness. Besides, this thing can be eaten as a snack normally. The more we eat, the hungrier we get. Sister Zhang, please don't be polite."
Hearing what Wen Xin said, Zhang Mu accepted Hua Mei without any courtesy, and asked Xiao Shuang to hand Wen Wen a hundred taels of silver.
This amount of money was quite a lot. Wen Xin looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Sister Zhang, a pack of plums doesn't cost so much."
Zhang Mu said: "Yes, you don't know how precious this bag of plums is to me. It was so uncomfortable on the road these two days. I wanted to go home several times. I thought that with these plums, I should be
It's been able to hold on for a while longer, so its value is really high, but it's just Mei Zi's money, Butler Zhang's food expenses are not included in it, so don't be embarrassed to accept it when he gives it to you."
Wen Xin twitched her lips. She couldn't get the idea of a rich person, but she was very happy to have a large windfall, "Okay, I will try my best to let Sister Zhang eat well, and the remaining people will only
It can be said that it fills the stomach, after all, I didn’t bring that much fine food with me when I fled.”
Xiao Shuang said: "It doesn't matter what we eat. The main thing is to let the lady eat well. By the way, we all have water bladders. Can we fill them with some water you boiled? I'm not used to drinking the water in the stream."
"Okay, you should drink boiled water. Drinking raw water can easily cause stomach upset, and we have no medicine when we go out, so we will feel even more uncomfortable by then."
Before getting out of the carriage, Wen Wen immediately collected another hundred taels of silver from Butler Zhang. He said, "We don't have to eat much. We will eat whatever you eat. According to the value of food outside, these one hundred taels will only last for 5 days."
We will pay you for 5 days first, and we will pay you later.”
Wen Wen accepted the money with peace of mind and arranged dinner when she returned.
The Wen family cooks dinner together with the Wang family. The Wang family is responsible for making pancakes, and the Wen family is responsible for making porridge or soup, and then boiling water. Now there are nearly 20 more people to cook for, and their family only has one stove.
It was definitely not enough. Besides, they couldn't let the Wang family suffer when they ate together, so Wen Xin came to Aunt Wang and asked, "Auntie, do you want to make some money?"
Aunt Wang was making pancakes. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "How can I make money?"
"I took over the food for those people. The food is provided by our family. It is still the same as before. You make pancakes here and we cook porridge and water over there. As long as there is food for them, I will give you one tael of silver every day.
"
Don't think it's too little. If she doesn't make it for her own family, the Wang family won't make a penny. One tael of silver a day, and they have to travel for 20 days, which is 20 taels of silver. How can they make so much money these days?
Aunt Wang knew in her heart that the Wen family would definitely earn more, but there was actually a drawback, because the Wen family provided food, which is so expensive nowadays, so if you really want to calculate it, it was actually not bad, and Aunt Wang readily agreed.
After getting down, Wang Chuncui and Wang Chuncui prepared dinner for everyone.
