What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 253 Ice Cellar
After the family finished eating and simply washed up, Jiang Xiangchun sent Jingyuanzhi back to her room. After she had slept well, she tucked her in before going out.

It was completely dark, and there was only the moonlight coming through the window. The moonlight was very bright. Half of the window was broken and could not be closed. Jingyuanzhi looked at the sky outside the window. It was very blue, a kind of azure.

She looked away for a moment and looked away.

"Bamao, can you cast a spell to block the window for me?"

"Block it? Why?" Bamao asked strangely, isn't the mountainous area illuminated by the moonlight outside beautiful?
Jing Yuanzhi closed his eyes: "I can't sleep with this light, I feel insecure, and I always feel that something will suddenly appear outside, not to mention that there are mountains and forests outside, so looking at it like this, I always feel that there is something inside. "

Bamao was surprised. In his eyes, she was not afraid of anything, but he did not expect that she was actually afraid of open windows.

"Okay, I'll find something to block it for you, and I'll take it away tomorrow morning." Bamao searched around the space, and finally found a bed board to stand next to the window to block it. Jing Yuanzhi then closed his eyes. sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already dawn, and the bed plank blocking the window had been taken back by Bamao.

Jing Yuanzhi got up and went outside. There was warm water in the kitchen. Everyone in the family seemed to have gone out, but she was alone.

After a simple wash, she washed some of the uneaten wild fruits they brought back yesterday and sat on the stone slab in front of the door, eating slowly. She also drank a bottle of milk and asked Balmao to heat up chicken soup for her.

After eating and drinking, Jing Yuanzhi walked around. Vegetables can be planted around the house, but there should be no seeds in their house. The yard is also empty, with only one leafy tree because no one has pruned it for a long time. , a bit wanton in length.

Jingyuanzhi walked over and took a closer look, and determined that this should be a cherry tree, but it was out of season now, and there were only leaves and no cherries on it.

After thinking about it, Jingyuan went to the warehouse where things were stored and found some rags. He took out the seeds in the space and wrapped them in the rags. Then he found a wooden box and put the seeds in the rags out. Putting it inside, she originally wanted to find a place to put these rags, and then pretended that she accidentally discovered them.

I searched everywhere in a small room in the warehouse, but couldn't find a suitable corner.

When Jing Yuanzhi was about to change places, he suddenly saw an iron chain.

Chain? Where did it come from?
She pulled the chain out from the hidden corner.

Wow!
After a burst of noise.

boom!
A violent sound sounded.

Jing Yuanzhi was startled, turned around, and found that a wooden board on the side suddenly disappeared, and a square hole appeared where the original board had been.

cellar? Or some kind of treasure hiding place?

Jing Yuanzhi ran over and took a look. The square was just big enough for one person to get in. Below was a wide staircase.

She walked down the stairs step by step. As soon as she stepped down a few steps, the cold air hit her face, and Jing Yuanzhi couldn't help but shiver.

"Is this an ice cellar?"

The stairs were not long, and Jing Yuanzhi walked down completely after walking for a short while.

It can be regarded as a natural cold storage below. It should be due to geographical reasons that the temperature here is very low. Jingyuan guessed that it should be around zero.

She was so cold that she had goosebumps all over her body.

There are many things in the cold storage, including farm tools, kitchen utensils, pots, etc. There are also several large vats covered with thick wooden boards.

There are many clay pots placed against the wall.

Jing Yuanzhi walked to the big vat and laboriously removed the wooden board. The vat was filled with white grain.

She grabbed some with her hands and rubbed it. It was still good and ready to eat!
Jing Yuanzhi went to look at several other large vats, which contained not only rice but also flour, and a thousand kilograms of wheat.

In addition to the most conspicuous large tanks, there are also some small tanks containing mung beans, red beans, sesame seeds, soybeans, etc.

There was also a clay pot on the side, which contained some pickled vegetables, but it had been too long. Although Jingyuan Zhi smelled good, he didn't dare to eat it.

There are also eggs. The eggs are broken and there are several earthen jars. It's a pity.

Jing Yuanzhi wanted to continue reading when he heard the vague anxious voice of Jiang Xiangchun. "Mom, I'm in the warehouse! Down below!" Jing Yuanzhi responded quickly.

Soon, she heard some fast footsteps, belonging to two people.

Jing Yuanzhi quickly wanted to put the things he wanted to take out into the jar.

There was the sound of someone coming down the stairs, and then they saw Jiang Xiangchun's somewhat panicked face and Huang Chunlei following behind.

"Mom, little brother, I'm fine, I found an ice cellar." Jing Yuanzhi smiled at them.

Jiang Xiangchun came down and hugged Jing Yuanzhi: "Yinyin, you scared me to death."

Huang Chunyang also walked over, his face still a little pale.

"Mom, I'm fine. Look, there's a lot of food in this ice cellar! It's enough for our family to eat for a long time. We don't need to borrow food from other uncles and aunts anymore. We can also pay back what we borrowed before."

Jiang Xiangchun hugged her for a while before letting go. After listening to her daughter's words, she looked around the ice cellar.

Feeling the biting cold and thinking that Jing Yuanzhi was wearing very little, Jiang Xiangchun immediately pulled her up the stairs.

"I'll come down and take a look later. Yinyin, you're wearing too little. You're already weak. Get up quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Jing Yuanzhi followed Jiang Xiangchun up obediently.

Jiang Xiangchun pulled her to the place where the sun shone in the yard before stopping.

"You stay here in the sun to keep yourself warm. Chunyang stays with your sister. I'll go take a look in the ice cellar."

"Okay, mother, you go ahead, I will take good care of my sister." Huang Chunyang nodded seriously.

Only then did Jiang Xiangchun feel relieved to see the ice cellar.

Jing Yuanzhi sat by the well. The place had been cleaned very well by Huang Chunyang yesterday. The big stone slab next to it was clean. He was not afraid of getting his body dirty when he sat on it.

"Sister, wait a minute, don't sit down yet." Huang Chunyang went to bring the wooden board and the ginger toon from yesterday, and laid them out for Jingyuanzhi, as well as the cloth and cotton for cushioning, before letting her sit down again.

"Sister, let me pour you some hot water to warm yourself up." Huang Chunyang looked at Jing Yuanzhi's somewhat white lips and said.

"Okay, thank you Chunyang!" Jing Yuanzhi said with a smile.

"No trouble, you are my sister, I should take care of you." After Huang Chunyang said that, he went to the kitchen to boil water. The water in the morning was already a little warm, so it would be better to boil a new pot.

Jing Yuanzhi sat bored and looked at the bottomless well.

"Bamao, do you think the water in this is still drinkable?"

Bamao glanced at it: "You can drink it, it won't have much impact."

Jing Yuanzhi was still a little worried, always feeling unclean: "Did you buy some water purification beads in the last world? You can look for them for me and I'll put a few in."

"I'll look for it for you." Bamao searched for a while before he found it and gave it to Jing Yuanzhi.

Jing Yuanzhi put a few pills in before he felt relieved.

Soon, Huang Chunyang came over with a bowl and carefully placed the water on the stone slab: "Sister, it's still a little hot. You can drink it after it cools down."

"it is good."

"Where did you and your mother go this morning?" Jing Yuanzhi asked Huang Chunyang.

"My mother and I went to the village to borrow seeds from others, but at this time many kinds of vegetables were not ready to save seeds, so my mother and I didn't borrow much," Huang Chunyang said.

"Are you planning to plant some vegetables around the house?"
