After foreseeing my exile, I stocked up on goods to travel through time with my baby

Chapter 18 The Devil Laughs

The woman walked a few steps and then turned back and asked, "You live in a cave, right?"

If the girl discovers that there is no food in the fields, she will give up her job.I had to find a cave and scold them until they couldn't live any longer and had to leave the village overnight.

What you promised her must be done well, no matter how small it is.

A group of exiled prisoners actually want to live in vain, what a beautiful idea!

Du Ruoli understood what she meant and her smile did not change: "Yes. Please walk slowly!"

The woman twisted three times with one step and finally left.

Du Ruozhen looked at her back bitterly and couldn't help but ask: "Du Ruoli, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? Tell me quickly, don't let us guess."

Zhou Daya and Du Ruoying also looked at Du Ruoli and expressed the same idea.

"Because there is delicious food in the fields."

Du Ruoli bent down and dug out a green thing from the ground with the small hoe she brought with her. She peeled off the outer skin layer by layer to reveal the white core inside.

The core is thick at the bottom and thin at the top, cone-shaped, and was called wild rice in later generations.It is the enlarged root produced after wild rice is infected with fungus.

This root is so remarkable that it has completely replaced the staple food crop of wild rice and turned it into a widely grown vegetable.

By the time she lived, people almost only knew wild rice, but not wild rice.

She knew it because she saw it from a popular science blogger and joker.It looked interesting at the time, so I checked it out, but I didn’t expect to use it today.

Just now, she saw at a glance that the wild rice was infected with fungus, and judged that there was wild rice underneath, so she went to deal with the field owner.

My friends had never seen anything like this before, so they gathered around and asked, "What is this? It's really edible!"

Du Ruoli said with certainty: "It's edible. I've eaten it before. It's crispy and sweet. It's good when fried, boiled or mixed."

Du Ruozhen took the wild rice plant and looked around: "From what you said, it's really good. What are you waiting for? Let's dig it!"

Zhou Daya and Du Ruoying also looked at Du Ruoli expectantly.

"Dig!"

Du Ruoli gave an order, and the four young ladies immediately waved their little hoes.Plan out a wild rice root,
After looking at it fondly for a while, I peeled it and put it in the basket, then continued to peel the next one.

Because the ground is too thin and there is no fertilizer, the wild rice grows small, and only more than 20 kilograms can be dug out of a large piece of land.It was distributed to each person, a little more than five kilograms.

With a burning light in their eyes, everyone wrapped the wild rice seeds carefully.After confirming that there was nothing left in the field, he tried his best to help the woman tidy up the field.

The woman came to check the stuck points and found no faults. She nodded with satisfaction and let them leave.

More than half an hour had passed since we first arrived.It was not completely dark yet, so the four girls returned to the cave with the faint light of the sky.

By the underground river of the cave, two fires, one large and one small, have been lit.

The big fire belongs to the Du family.The clan leader is never confused about these matters, and each family takes turns doing things in the clan.Everyone follows the rules and there are very few troubles.

Today it was the Du Ruozhen family's turn to light the fire.Her family had a large population, so she went up the mountain to pick up a lot of wet firewood, and exchanged two bundles of wet firewood with the villagers for one bundle of dry firewood. They exchanged five bundles in total, and the fire was burning brightly.

The tribesmen sat in a circle around the fire, warming themselves up, toasting their clothes, and talking quietly.

The small fire belonged to the twenty new prisoners.These people were quarreling for no apparent reason, and each of them looked fierce and full of gunpowder.

Only the man named Lu Jizhou stayed out of the matter.Sitting on the stone with his long legs crossed, his head slightly raised, his mind wandered to the sky, as if he didn't belong here.

What a weirdo.Du Ruoli said in her heart.

Next to the fire, Grandma Du Ruozhen saw her granddaughter coming in and handed her a burning charcoal basin and a small pot with four wooden bowls, in which hot water was boiled. "It's too crowded here to sit down. You guys go inside with a charcoal pot to warm yourself up, drink a bowl of hot soup, and dry all your clothes before you sleep."

"Yes, grandmother."

Whatever comes to mind!Du Ruozhen happily took the charcoal basin, found a downdraft away from the fire, put the charcoal basin in place, and sat on the pot.

The hot water was boiling in the pot. The four friends had a clear idea and each cut the largest and fattest piece of wild rice and put it in to cook.

Boil until cooked and put into a wooden bowl. It's pure and white. I don't know whether it tastes good or not, but my eyes like it first.

Du Ruoli moved her chopsticks first, put it in her mouth and chewed slowly.

Not bad, fresh and sweet.It would be nice if you dare to add oil and salt, or add some sugar to make sugar water...

The other people are not as well-informed as she is. If they feel a little bit of sweetness on the stone, they think it is unparalleled deliciousness.

Sure enough, humans’ love for sweets is engraved in our genes.

The friends were eating happily, and Du Ruoli was also happy, and the boiled wild rice in her mouth became sweeter and sweeter.

After finishing the bowl of food, the problem arises.

"Sister Ruoli, what's the name of this thing?"

"Where have you eaten it? Haven't you seen it in the village?"

"How do you know there's something to eat under the wild rice that causes walking syndrome?"

Du Ruoli put down her bowl and replied proudly: "Don't I have an aunt who married far away from Fucheng? My aunt came back to visit relatives last year and brought some with her. She taught me how to recognize them, but I forgot the name. She saw a lot of things in Fucheng and told me about them. ."

In fact, my aunt is an unsophisticated woman, and she only wants to catch the autumn wind when she comes back to visit her relatives.

But for people who have never left the village, Fucheng represents unknown distances and endless new things.

From now on, whenever there was a reason that she couldn't explain, she would blame it on Fucheng and her aunt.After traveling thousands of miles, who can seek verification?

Sure enough, Du Ruoli's words convinced the friends.

They have nothing but envy.

Du Ruoli was relieved.

When it's break time, you don't have to be crowded in a small room. People may notice your slightest movement.Du Ruoli was extremely excited to finally be able to sleep in the space again. She hugged her sister and walked around in and out of the space several times.

Eighteen days have passed in the space. The radish seedlings and cabbage seedlings have grown to the length of one finger, which is when they are the most tender and delicious.

Pull a handful back, cook it into fusilli noodles, and have a heavy midnight snack.

Don’t waste the torn area, add leeks and green onions.

While eating fusilli, my sister was lying on her lap, her black eyes following her chopsticks, and sparkling liquid flowing out of the corners of her mouth.

Du Ruoli was happy and gently poked her breasts with her hand: "Little greedy cat, why are you so greedy? You even want to eat screw noodles? I tell you, you can only eat it when you grow up. You should be obedient now. Let’s drink milk powder.”

The baby seemed to understand and cried "Wow"!

I cried so heartbroken that I seemed to have lost the most precious thing.

The unscrupulous weird sister laughed even happier when she saw her crying.The whole space echoed with her devilish laughter.
