Eat in Song Dynasty

"Remember what you said."

After saying this, Wen Shu called the three brothers of the Guo family to come to Mrs. Guo's room and prepared to explain something. However, when she entered the door, she unexpectedly found that Mrs. Guo had already gotten out of bed and was feeding the silkworms in the room and cleaning up the feces.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Go and lie down on the bed."

"Lie down? Why do you have to lie down?" Sister-in-law Guo was very confused.

"Of course you should lie down and rest. You have just given birth and are weak. You have to confine yourself."

"Confinement?"

The Guo family looked at each other, as if they had never heard of it.

Wen Shu suddenly realized that this was not the Song Dynasty, but the Shang Dynasty thousands of years ago. Maybe confinement was not a custom here yet.

"Then what will you do after giving birth?" she asked.

Sister-in-law Guo said in a normal tone: "Just keep working as usual."

Wen Shu turned his head, looked at Aunt Guo, who had remained silent, and expressed his meaning with gestures.

After reading this, Aunt Guo nodded and said that she had never had a confinement period and had always worked right after giving birth.

Wen Shu sighed and blamed her for looking so old!

She had always thought that Aunt Guo was in her sixties, but later she heard from Guo that she found out that Aunt Guo was only in her forties. In the Song Dynasty, ladies of this age still had charm.

But Aunt Guo here has an old face, wrinkles, and a stooped body, and her legs are spread apart when she walks.

I originally thought it was due to the heavy and tiring daily work, but now it seems to be related to not getting enough rest after giving birth.

"There is a custom in our hometown that a woman has to rest for a month after giving birth to regain her strength, but she cannot do heavy work or see the wind. It is called confinement." As she spoke, she took the medicine from behind like a magic trick. Taking out a can of brown sugar, "I want to eat this to replenish qi and blood."

Guo Da took the brown sugar jar, looked at the red and black pieces, smelled it again, and said, "Is this edible?!"

Wen Shu is well aware of the cultural differences between time and space, which are difficult to explain.

Originally, this matter was not her business, but as they were both women, seeing Mrs. Guo working so hard just after giving birth, she had to say a few words for her.

"Of course, women in our hometown eat this after giving birth! Those who don't eat it will be laughed at."

This jar of brown sugar was something she prepared to eat when she was having her period.

Speaking of which, her period had not come for a long time. Wen Shu touched her belly.

"Hometown is where we just went."

Thinking of the strange place they went to before, Guo Da marveled.

That’s wonderland! The streets are spacious and clean, and there are many big houses with many beautiful decorations.

Wen Shu paused and nodded.

When he was hesitating whether to explain the place to them, he heard Guo Dadao: "Since it is something from your hometown, it must be good." After that, he turned to Sister-in-law Guo and said, "Just listen to the girl. You quickly go to bed and lie down before eating this brown sugar."

"What about this silkworm?!" Sister-in-law Guo was still a little hesitant.

"I'll take care of it. It's just a month's work and it's over." Guo Da patted his chest to show that he had taken care of it.

Guo Laoer said: "Brother is right. Sister-in-law, you can rest peacefully. I can help eldest brother with it."

"Then I'll help pick mulberry leaves." Guo Laosan raised his hand and said. Wen Shu smiled and said, "Come to the woodshed with me. I'll bring you something."

Something, what something? The brothers went to the woodshed confused.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I saw several sacks piled on the ground, one bag of rice, one bag of noodles, two iron pots, two pots of oil, two bags of coarse salt, three jars of fine salt, and a small bag of seeds.

This was placed in the warehouse before Wen Shu came in. Long before she left last time, she had thought about the day when the fixed-point teleportation would be activated. She would come back to see the family and bring them something along the way.

These things were all things she found that they needed and were in short supply after living in the Guo family for a month.

Salt is very expensive in this world. Ordinary farmers like the Guo family exchange all the grain they grow every year for salt, except for their own consumption. Sometimes it is not enough, and you have to go hunting in the mountains to supplement some.

The salt she brought today is enough for them to eat for a year.

She didn’t bring a lot of rice noodles. It’s not that she didn’t understand the principles of rice enmity and rice enmity.

The three brothers of the Guo family are all strong laborers and can work. They can rely on their own hands to fight and give their wives, children and mother a better life.

All she has to do is lend a hand in times of crisis.

As for the seeds, it was her own idea.

The world outside is not stable, and there may be a war at any time. Food and materials will be in short supply then. She just thought, why not grow some food and vegetables in the mountain and sea world to prepare for emergencies.

Furthermore, the world of mountains and seas is her portable world. She can take it with her and enter it at any time, which can also solve the problem of difficult material transportation.

"This is salt, so much salt!"

Looking at the two big bags of coarse salt, the three brothers were almost crazy with joy.

"This is rice, which can be eaten after being cooked like corn. This is thin noodles, which require water and water." Wen Shu introduced the things he brought to them.

That's right, the rice, flour, grains and oils that she usually eats are not available at this time.

During the month that Wen Shu stayed at Guo's house, the most he ate was corn, which was not enough.

The prey had to be taken to the town to be exchanged for salt and some cloth and farm tools, so only a small amount could be left to be dried into dried meat.

In short, corn rice balls and dried meat are already the best meals for the Guo family to entertain guests. The rice and thin noodles given by Wen Shu have never been seen by the Guo family before.

She taught the three brothers the uses and usage of these things one by one. The three brothers listened very carefully and repeatedly said that they would plant those seeds according to Wen Shu's method.

"The seed matter is not urgent. The most urgent thing is to take care of my sister-in-law and children first, as well as your own safety."

Although he coaxed those few people to stay as bodyguards, it was still unknown whether those who escaped would come back and whether these five people could restrain them.

If Mrs. Guo hadn't just given birth and couldn't sleep in the open and exposed to the wind, she might have considered taking them to Jingshan.

There is a barrier there, the air is good, and there are peaches, pears, and apricots nourished by spiritual water in the orchard. It is safer than this world. but.

That's all, let them stay here for a day.

The next time Da Bu Xiao came in, she adjusted the time to one day later, so that no matter how long she was outside, only one day had passed since she came back here.

It's only one day, so there shouldn't be any danger.

Back in the real world, there is light in the sky, and a diligent boss has set up a breakfast stall on the street.

Wen Shu hurried to the inn, thinking of returning to the room before Liu Zhang and the others noticed, so as not to arouse suspicion.

The aroma came from the wonton stall on the roadside. She sniffed but didn't dare to stop. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the inn, she found that none of the doors in front and back were open.
