What use do I want in this troubled world

Chapter 17 Connectors
Time flies, seven days in a blink of an eye.

The well was successfully completed.

There is no need to carry water to eat, freeing up more leisure time, Xu Wenfeng sat under the eaves to make tea, sipped leisurely, feeling faintly missing something.

Got it, I can't be full without snacks at hand, I went to scoop a bowl of corn kernels, and while walking to the kitchen, I called my little sister to light the fire.

The second sister called, and Ruyi responded crisply, excitedly following.

The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the pot crackled.

There were sounds one after another, feeling almost the same, Xu Wenfeng said: "It's fine, no need to add more firewood."

Uncover the pot, sprinkle with sugar, stir-fry twice, and get out of the pot.

Ruyi stood on tiptoe and asked curiously, "Second Sister, is this Popcorn Flower?"

It's so amazing, after the yellow-orange-orange corn exploded, it turned into white and cute little ones.

Xu's skills were not good enough, and a lot of dumb kernels sank to the bottom of the pot. The fried corn kernels were just as fragrant, but it was hard to chew. Xu Wenfeng shoveled them into the basket and spread them out.

A small hand came out from the bend of his arm, aiming at the popcorn, Xu Wenfeng gently patted the small hand that was ready to move: "Don't worry, dissipate the heat, let it cool down, it will be crispy and delicious."

Little greedy cat.

"Oh," Ruyi grinned.

"Go and call your third sister."

"Okay."

Xu Yuqing was weeding in the vegetable garden. The weeds were vigorous in spring and needed to be cleaned every few days.

There's no way, let's put on a lazy sister, and all the trivial work in the field will fall on her head.

The three sisters drank tea and ate snacks around the short table, enjoying a pleasant time, when they heard an unusual meowing sound coming from the direction of the backyard, Xu Wenfeng grabbed a handful of popcorn flowers: "I haven't moved for a day, I'll go to the backyard for a walk."

Climbing up to the top of the wall, a head poked out from the grass at the bottom of the wall: "Sister, it's me."

"I see." Xu Wenfeng sat on the wall, his legs dangling in the air, and threw popcorn flowers into his mouth one by one: "What do you want from me?"

They are 15 and 17, both of them are of marriageable age, so it is inconvenient to see each other every day, and they often make a bunch together.

Wu Manguan asked strangely: "Sister, where did you get the popcorn?" He wanted to send snacks to my sister before, but my sister refused, saying that the packaging bag was inconvenient to pack.

Xu Wenfeng tossed a grain of rice flower high, stretched out his mouth to catch it, and chewed: "I fried it myself."

"Wow, sister, you are really capable!" Wu Manguan praised sincerely, took out a can of Coke with a rustle, and raised it high: "Here, sister."

Popcorn and Coke are a perfect match.

Xu Wenfeng stared at the Coke, then abruptly looked away, and reluctantly refused: "There is no place to store the jars."

Wu Manguan looked at her eagerly, and felt regretful, why didn't he become a sibling? This half-father and half-mother are very troublesome. Every time they meet, they sneak around like a thief: "It's okay, I'll wait for you to finish drinking." Just go on."

"That's okay." Xu Wenfeng smiled and grabbed the Coke, pulled open the can, and took a big gulp.

Happiness, happiness!
Satisfaction in life!

Xu Wenfeng hiccupped: "By the way, you haven't said what you want from me?"

"Tomorrow is the market day. I want to go to the town to see if there is any way to make money. I don't know what to do. Can you go with me?" The things in the grocery store either have packaging bags, or there are no bags here. Yes, staple foods like rice and white noodles are also very different from this world.

In ancient times, the flour was yellow, and the rice grains were small, not so moist and plump.

Moreover, these staple foods were precious things in ancient times, and ordinary people could not eat them several times a year. Most of the fine grains were grown to exchange for money and coarse grains. He dared not take them out without a valid reason.

After tossing and turning for a long time, he couldn't find any food to share. The family members chewed chaff and swallowed vegetables, and he ate alone, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's meet in Zhendong tomorrow morning at Haishi." The little friend has the idea of ​​making money, of course she supports it with both hands.

The next day when the two met, Xu Wenfeng was taken aback when he saw Wu Manguan, "Oh my god~ I haven't seen you for a while, it bulged up like a balloon."

I'll be obedient, follow this development, and sooner or later I will become a ball: "You won't eat up the shop, will you?"

Wu Manguan shyly twisted his body: "How come! I really gained weight? You saw me yesterday and didn't say I was fat."

I have been short of meat and oil for a long time, I had nothing to eat before, and I have no choice. Now I am guarding a grocery store where I can get everything I want, so I can't control my mouth.

Spiced pork feet, spicy beef jerky, happy fat house water, puffed food, there is no fixed number of nonsense.

If you overeat, it's no wonder you don't gain weight.

The corners of Xu Wenfeng's mouth twitched slightly: "You huddled in the grass and didn't pay attention."

Wu Manguan is unhappy, you didn't pay attention, your attention was all given to Coke: "Didn't you tell me to eat and drink?"

I'm really getting fat, and you despise me again!

Xu Wenfeng was dumbfounded for a long time: "I told you to eat and drink what you should, not to let you eat and drink without restraint! Continue to develop horizontally. If you suffer from diabetes or something, there is no specific medicine."

Why does this kid go to extremes? Sometimes he looks for death, and sometimes he becomes fat.

Wu Manguan instantly became happy: "Yeah, yes, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Sister, you are so kind to me!" She smiled openly.

Xu Wenfeng didn't understand what he was happy about: "As long as you have the numbers."

"Let's go to the market."

Wu Manguan glanced around, and quietly stuffed two pieces of chewing gum, Xu Wenfeng chewed the gum, put his hands in his armholes, and sauntered towards the market.

He doesn't look like a serious person at first glance.

Wu Manguan imitated Xu Wenfeng's movements and expressions vividly.

The two walked side by side, just like that gag.

Compared with twenty days ago, the street market is much more lively, with a continuous flow of people, and there are more small vendors setting up stalls, and the sound of hawking is endless.

The Daxia Dynasty was determined by the division of counties, prefectures, counties, towns, and villages.

Canghe Town is under the jurisdiction of Qiuyu Mansion. It is located at the junction of the four counties, extending in all directions from north to south. It is known as "the thoroughfare of the four counties" and "the head of the five roads".

It has important strategic significance in the military and belongs to an important town.

During the peaceful and prosperous period, it was comparable to the first-tier counties, and the commercial transportation was developed.

The geographical environment is superior, but once there is chaos, it is also the first to suffer.

It is reported that after the outbreak of the war, several factions attempted to occupy Canghe Town. At that time, what they did was called a miasma. When encountering the shortage of food and grass in the army, they rushed directly to the villages to "borrow food".

Among them, "Nie Ren", the general of the White Tiger Army, is particularly terrifying. He is known for his cruelty and brutality.

He never brought food and supplies with him when he led an army to fight. He always used the method of fighting to support the war. He often sent troops to slaughter the people, and the people were frightened when they heard his name.

Others are just "borrowing food" and generally do not harm the people. This one burns, kills, loots, and commits all kinds of crimes. Whenever there is a shortage of meat and food, and the soldiers have no strength to fight, he orders, eat. Human. Meat!
For the convenience of carrying, even the meat from the corpses was cut off and salted to make dried meat as military rations.

Wherever he walked, no matter whether it was livestock or people, life was cut off, and only scorched earth remained.

This is also an important reason why the whole village of Yantan Village wanted to flee, because they were afraid of bumping into this plague god and losing the lives of the whole family.
