Villager of Daming

Chapter 553: What to believe in the Snow Buried House (sixth update)
Winter is obviously a season of silence for northerners. It is called cat winter, a cat that hides and seeks.

During this season, try to reduce activities as much as possible to conserve energy. Going out is risky and consumes a lot of food.

Things are different now. Everyone is working hard and studying because there is no shortage of food and lamp oil.

At the beginning, two acres of greenhouses were productive, and an additional [-] acres were added before the Chinese New Year, and another [-] acres could be eaten after the new year.

People lack oil and water, that is, meat and fish are not enough. They need a large amount of carbohydrates to make up for it. What little is absorbed is excreted.

It can't do without vegetables, so we drink fermented tea to supplement vitamins. When drinking tea on the grassland, you need to eat the tea leaves, so as to increase fiber and promote vitamin absorption.

There is no shortage of meat, and fish contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids. With the addition of fresh vegetables, the consumption of carbohydrates is much reduced.

I feel full as soon as I eat the staple food, unlike before where I felt hungry no matter how much I ate.

……

"Is there anyone? Daji, are you still alive? I'm Luo Lu!"

In a place where it had just snowed, a guide who lived in the herdsman area next to Helin City led the team to find a home.

The heavy snow covered that area, leaving only a little bit of it exposed, which was discovered with a telescope.

Everyone's eyes were tied with a pair of 'glasses' with ropes. They were actually Eskimo snow goggles, made of some bones and wood, with just a slit.

In this way, you don’t have to worry about snow blindness caused by always looking at the snow with your eyes open. However, the disadvantage is that the view of the scenery is not clear enough.

Those who know painting know that when looking at oil paintings, if you look closely, they are all lines and patches of colors. Oil paintings, therefore, pay attention to color, and they are similar to gouache paintings in some aspects.

So what do you think of the overall situation?It's simple, just squint and look at the oil painting at close range to lengthen your field of vision.

And this is the fascinating thing about oil painting. When you look at it from a close distance, it is abstract, but when you look at it from a distance, it is concrete. It is similar to Chinese ink painting.

Beauty lies in distance, beauty lies in contrast.

Wearing this Eskimo snow goggles can achieve the same effect.

So when Zhu Wentian didn't have enough sunglasses, he asked craftsmen to make simple light-reducing appliances.

Herdsman Luo Lu shouted, and finally a voice came from inside: "Help, help us dig out."

"Great!" Luo Lu waved his fist vigorously.

Without him needing to say anything else, Sergeant Daming began to dig out the snow. A group of people took action, and within a dozen breaths they dug out the path leading to the door.

"Daji, can you still open the door? You..."

'Bang! 'A soldier pushed the door open, and the people inside rushed out, knocking the soldier down, and then seven people squinted their eyes and gasped for air.

The previous snow had almost blocked the last gap, and from the position where the door was pushed open, there was still a lot of water. It was obvious that they had opened the door and were rushed in by the snow again, so they had to block the door again.

"Move to the side! You're stepping on my belly! Yes, that's great. Thank you!"

The soldier who was knocked down did not fall. There was snow behind him, but there was a child standing on his belly.

Perhaps hearing movement or feeling a different touch under his feet, the child took a step to the right.

The soldiers in the back continued to clean up, and another soldier took off his military coat, and two people held it up to the top of one person's head to block the light.

Now the people who had just come out of the darkness didn't feel so dazzling. A teenage boy said: "Uncle Luo Lu, did the emperor ask you to come and save us? I know they are soldiers."

"Yes, Xiao Jiji, the Prince of Ming Dynasty sent people here, and He Lin was defeated by Ming Dynasty." Luo Lu replied.

"Ah! There has been a change of people? Are they mean?" The child's emotional intelligence is a bit low, and he is probably bored.

"Jiu can still come to save you. When did Beiyuan take care of us before? Let's go to Helin City. The Ming army didn't ask for anything and gave us a lot of things. Are you hungry?"

Luo Lu touched the child's head and smiled at the soldier next to him. "I don't know if I'm hungry or not, I'm just afraid. As soon as I open the door, snow drifts in, and I can see a little light. If I can't make a fire, I'll eat dry milk. If there's snow, I'll eat it. It's cold!"

The child shivered as he spoke. It was obvious that they were having a hard time. The fire was even more deprived of oxygen and the smoke was all in it.

As soon as the child said this, military coats were draped over the family of seven with warmth.

"No, put it on quickly, it's cold! Don't get frozen."

An old woman spoke up. It was clear that the family had not given up on their elderly mother, otherwise they would have thrown such a burden outside, given her some food, and left her to fend for herself.

"Our team coming out is wearing cashmere or woolen clothes. Don't be afraid. Let's have a sip of soup first. It's great. It's not cold yet."

A young general came over, took out a water bag from his sweater, opened it and handed it to the old woman.

Other nearby soldiers also took out water bags, and they kept close to themselves to keep warm.

"Drink quickly, mushroom soup. Add more salt on purpose. Daming gave a lot of salt, even those in Helin have it." Luo Lu said loudly.

Because the sergeant next to him was constantly plowing the snow to completely expose the tent, which was usually buried in a pit, and the sound was loud.

The seven people were not polite, they were really hungry, they drank thick soup, they were not afraid of the salt, but they lacked salt.

"What do you want?" Da Ji took a few sips of the soup, his eyes adjusted, and he looked up at the young general.

"I want you to follow us and help us do some work somewhere. If you don't do it in vain, I will give you food. If you don't believe me, ask him."

The young general did not play sensationalism. When he came out, he gave a lecture to make the other party think it was an exchange, even coercive, so that the other party would believe it.

Otherwise, if you tell the other party that we don’t want anything but love you, the other party will treat you as a fool. Who are you kidding?snort!

This is not Yingtian Mansion. Otherwise, if the same thing happened and Yingtian Mansion troops were dispatched, the people would be happy and not ask anything, let alone doubt.

"Okay, you keep us alive, help us pack up the shed, and we'll go with you."

Daji agreed, in exchange, if someone saves his life, he has to work for him.

The seven men reached a higher place and looked at their stables. There were horses, sheep, and two camels in them.

The soldiers were feeding, feeding the soup in the water bags to the livestock. The soup was warm, and the horses, sheep and camels ate hard. They were tenacious and could stand up better than humans.

Demolish the shed here and set up a tent on the other side, you have to eat!It's almost noon, so it's best to boil hot water for the animals to drink, let it dry before it's hot, and add a few handfuls of bran to the water. The animals like to drink it the most, just like people drink soup.

For animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, and camels, adding some salt to warm water and sprinkling some wheat bran is equivalent to drinking soup for people, which is delicious.

"Luo Lu, how's it going over there?" Da Ji looked around and asked in a low voice.

"I just ate the baby cabbage before I came here. If I hadn't known that your family was always here, I wouldn't have wanted to come. I was learning literacy and arithmetic.

The sky changed, and the Ming Dynasty's crown prince and the Qin king came and gave the family a bunch of iron tools, which they could not earn in ten years.

They were treated by imperial doctors and the medicine was given to them for free. They didn't need anything.

Winter!People grow vegetables, build wooden houses, use glass to transmit light, and on New Year’s Eve, fireworks..."

Luo Lu said blah blah blah, with an anxious look on his face, afraid that this good friend wouldn't believe what he said.

Really, it’s all true, Daming is amazing!
