I opened a spicy hot shop in different time and space

Chapter 10 Don't let the boss and his family watch
Ye Feng is listening to his daughter.

"...In the spring, I went up to the mountain with my brother to dig bamboo shoots, but I only dug two. My brother took me inside and walked through a bush. If my brother wasn't vigilant, I would have fallen."

"cliff?"

"Not really. It's about seven or eight meters long. It's a depression with a pond at the bottom. The leaves on it look like wild water chestnut leaves now."

"At that time, my eldest brother and I were only thinking about whether we could catch fish, but the water was very deep and there were no fishing tools. However, my eldest brother came back every now and then to catch fish."

Ye Feng pondered, "Can you remember?"

"I have an impression of the general route."

Ye Feng pondered for a while, the original body didn't have water chestnut in his memory, it seemed that no one in Ye Family Village knew about it.

"Ayin, it seems that Chinese people have a long history of eating water chestnuts. Why is no one mentioning it here?"

"The information is so blocked now. Besides, the common people before the Han Dynasty were not worthy of eating water chestnuts. Although it was not possible in this dynasty, it should also be related to the lack of information."

To put it bluntly, no one knows.

Ye Feng got excited and praised his daughter for being a lucky star, picked up the bucket and brought her back to the cave.

On the way, Ye Luoyin discussed, "Father, the rats are full of bacteria and parasites. We don't have any medicine now. If we get the plague, we'll be doomed..."

"That's not a mouse in the gutter, it's a bamboo mouse in the bamboo forest. They grow up eating bamboo and grass, and they are also called bamboo root pigs. In such a disaster year, they will be eaten and extinct. Don't worry, I handled it very cleanly." .”

After saying this, Ye Feng said again, "Believe it or not, if you give this to your grandma, they will cry when they are happy..."

I believe I've seen them eat bugs in the ground.

Ye Luoyin didn't dare to say anything.

Some disaster victims can cook their own children, what else can't they eat?
Ye Feng put down the bucket, and Liu Niang over there began to prepare to boil water.

The mother-in-law said that from now on, I can't drink raw water, I have to boil it and drink it.

Ye Feng pulled Sun Cuizhi over, saying that he was going to fish water chestnuts with his daughter, and now in August, water chestnuts are almost ripe, and Sun Cuizhi's eyes lit up, water chestnuts, that's a good thing.

She told them that the leaves and roots were also edible, and that they would bring them back if they could.

Ye Luoyin poured cold water on her, "Maybe they've all been fished out."

Sun Cuizhi, "Not necessarily, I haven't heard people in the village talk about water chestnuts."

Ye Feng and Ye Luoyin quickly entered the bamboo forest, Ye Luoyin was carrying the basket on his back, while Ye Feng was walking on the muddy mountain road with his daughter on his back.

Sun Cuizhi thought of her daughter's straw sandals, put the electric shock baton away, and prepared to weave straw sandals with Liu Niang.

She doesn't know how to do it, but Liu Niang is very skilled, and the straw sandals at home are all made by Liu Niang.

Sun Cuizhi thought about improvements, such as thicker soles, and whether the uppers could be woven into a solid surface, and some soft things could be placed inside to avoid grinding the feet.

With such a request, Liu Niang became interested and less afraid of Sun Cuizhi.

At the foot of the mountain at this time, the Ye family's old house.

Ye Baoshan has two sons, the eldest son was separated by him.

Now he lives with his second son, Ye Hai.

Ye Hai has two sons and two daughters.

The eldest son Ye Dalang and Ye Erlang went to repair the dam together.

At this time, at the foot of Ye Baoshan was a small bag of ground bark powder, a handful of dried vegetables, half a basket of freshly dug wild vegetables and grass roots, plus a dozen or so black salt particles, all placed in the Together.

"All the food at home is here. If you go up the mountain, you can't eat alone. The boss has nothing, so you can't eat, let the boss's family watch..."

Old Mrs. Ye Wu said gloomyly, "Your eldest brother is nothing, but he didn't abandon you. He either stayed far away, or he had to accept these foods and eat them together."

The second daughter-in-law, Wang, couldn't bear it anymore, "Mother, your eldest grandson hasn't come back yet, and the whole family only has this little food, plus the elder brother's family of four, how long can they eat for a few days? dead?"

Wang's heart is blocked these days.

My husband is kind-hearted, and my mother-in-law secretly brought rice bran to my elder brother's house, but he didn't say a word.

But her eldest son hasn't married yet, and Erlang's daughter-in-law is pregnant. I don't know what it's like to go, but I can't be hungry when I come back.

Mrs. Ye wanted to scold a few words, but she had already lost her strength. Besides, the second daughter-in-law was thinking about her eldest grandson, so she just said, "But in case what your elder brother heard is true, should you flee or wait at home?" die?"

Ye Hai spoke instead, "Father, mother, what if the elder brother lied? He didn't have food at home, so maybe he tricked us into going up the mountain? It's not like you haven't been fooled before, mother, your silver bracelet will be cheated by him." Is it?"

After speaking, he squatted on the ground and did not speak.

If you don’t go up the mountain, the place will be soaked in water if the flood is released. But if you go up the mountain, the boss’s family is waiting for them to go up. This is not enough to eat for three days.

His three children were shaking with hunger, and he really didn't want to share this bit of bark powder with his elder brother's family.

It was a bit of a dilemma.

Ye Baoshan also sighed, the family members were unwilling to help the eldest family, he was not angry, it was the eldest who did it himself, no wonder others.

Mrs. Ye said, "If you want to go, go now and go up the mountain after eating. That's not what people do."

Turn around and enter the house and start to pack his and the old man's things.

She took everything she could, and locked everything she couldn't in her room.

Ye Baoshan said, "I'll go and inform the patriarch, you guys clean up."

Looking at the second son who was squatting on the ground, "Your elder brother said that all the rich and big households in the town have run away. This may be true. Yesterday, your uncle and I went to the town. It was already noon, and the grain shop was not open yet. Know the news and prepare to run away, water and fire are ruthless, there is really going to be a flood, our village is waiting to be flooded, anyway, I don’t force this, you can stay at home, your mother and I are old and old, if you really want to Flooding is actually a drag on you, why don't you go up the mountain to hide first, and take a little food, just me and your mother."

After finishing speaking, he hurried towards the patriarch's elder brother's house.

Similarly, the house was bare and there were no cabinets in the house, so it was easy to tidy up. Mrs. Ye rolled up the kang mats, and behind them were Erya and Sanya, who helped her carry her luggage and burdens.

Mrs. Ye wanted to share the food, Ye Hai glanced at Mrs. Wang, and stomped her foot, "Mother, don't share, let others see the joke, I will go with you."

Mrs. Wang still wanted to talk, but Ye Hai glared at her and scolded, "Why don't you share your share and stay at your house, so I don't take your rations, okay?"

Mrs. Ye sneered, "I'm so used to you, I'll give you a share of food for each of you. Pack up your things quickly, or go back to your mother's house."

Wang lowered her head resentfully, and sneered in her heart, "Old lady, just watch, your eldest son will not let you go if he eats up all of your bark."
