The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

After the farce, Mrs. Gu called Gu Liang and the others to have dinner. The dinner was still the same brown rice with stir-fried vegetables and stewed soup. So Gu Liang handed the Chinese toon in his arms to Mrs. Gu, saying that he wanted to add a dish to the family. Mrs. Gu saw the Chinese toon and said with joy: "It turns out that it is the season to eat Chinese toon. It can only be eaten at this time of the year." Gu Liang originally wanted to cook Chinese toon tonight, but Mrs. Gu had already prepared the meal, so he could only wait until tomorrow. Everyone at the table ate the meal as usual, but they always felt that it was not as delicious as before, and they always felt that something was missing. Gu Liang himself also noticed it, but he didn't know what it was. "Grandma, I want to eat meat, braised pork." It was Gu Erni's babyish voice that finally broke the feeling. Everyone realized why the same brown rice was not as fragrant as before. The reason was that braised pork had oil and water to go with the rice. Without it, who would think that this bland vegetable soup would go with the rice.

Li immediately agreed, asking Gu Laotai if she could make another braised pork meal for everyone tomorrow. She was thinking in her heart, "Didn't Gu Liang sell medicinal herbs a few days ago? Didn't he give all the money to you, old lady? Anyway, I can't get the money from the old lady, so why not let him leak a little to buy meat, so that I can also enjoy a good meal."

"Do you think I look like braised pork? Stew me. Who is a good family who eats meat for no reason? They don't plan to live like this anymore, right?" Gu Laotai gave her second daughter-in-law a look, and then ate by herself.

At this time, Li's husband also felt that his wife's words were really inconsiderate. Who eats meat every day in a farmer's family except during festivals? It's fine if my daughter said that, but she said that when she was so old, she knew that the ingredients in the braised pork were more expensive than the meat itself, and how many meals could my family afford.

So he stared at his wife Li, as if telling her to eat well and not talk nonsense.

Li also noticed that something was wrong at the table, so she hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm joking, I'm just talking, Erni, don't be ignorant, hurry up and eat." Li was lazy but not stupid, and she knew how to judge the situation and shifted the focus of the problem to her daughter.

Gu Liang saw that the atmosphere at the table was tense, so he hurried out to ease it.

"Grandma, it's normal for my sister to want to eat meat. When our family is rich in the future, we can eat meat every day. Look, I picked some Chinese toon today. I'll pick some more tomorrow and make a Chinese toon feast. Chinese toon can't be eaten many times a year, and it's as fragrant as meat."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu felt very comfortable. She felt that this was what a normal person would say, which was much better than her daughter-in-law who was lazy and greedy. Her grandson knew that he couldn't eat meat often to improve his diet, so he used Chinese toon to improve his diet. How considerate.

The next morning, Gu Liang was reading a medicine book in his room. The book mainly introduced some simple medicinal properties and forms, which was not difficult. After Gu Liang got the book, he read it in the room for an hour every morning. Since it was an entry-level book, after a few days, Gu Liang had remembered most of it.

"Gu Liang, are you home?"

There were shouts from several children at the door. After hearing it, Gu Liang left the room and came to the door. He saw that the children from yesterday were here again.

Seeing Gu Liang coming out, they all looked very happy. Gu Liang was still wondering what they wanted to talk to him about, but he didn't expect them to speak first.

"Gu Liang, you said yesterday that you can still exchange wild vegetables today, is that true?" Several children asked in unison.

Gu Liang nodded and said yes, and several children immediately jumped up and said they would go back to find wild vegetables and exchange two pieces of candy today, no, three pieces.

Gu Liang saw their backs going away, and felt that he couldn't just sit and wait at home, so he also went out with a basket. After all, he was a landlord, so how could he sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor?

Gu Liang mainly looked for Chinese toon today. Yesterday, he promised his grandmother to make a Chinese toon feast. Although he still had a basket of Chinese toon buds in his space, the things in the space were used to withstand famine. Unless there was a special situation, Gu Liang was determined not to take it out.

Chinese toon is the tender buds of the Chinese toon tree that sprout in spring. It is fragrant and tender. The Chinese toon tree usually grows on the hillside. The branches are still bare in this season, which is not very conspicuous and not easy to find.

However, Gu Liang has a good idea. The new buds of Chinese toon are red, and only on the top of the branches. With this method, you can see the Chinese toon tree from a distance and then go over to pick it.

However, there are exceptions, such as Gu

Liang had been fooled by other trees three times. He thought it was a real tree when he looked at it from a distance, but when he got closer, he found it was just a miscellaneous tree. He had run for a long time in vain.

Finally, when he found the fourth place, he found a real Chinese toon tree. On a yellow slope, there was a Chinese toon tree as thick as a waist, which was eaten by insects and had a crooked neck. For Chinese toon, the thicker the tree, the stronger the Chinese toon buds. Gu Liang climbed up the tree and picked half a basket in a short while. He couldn't reach more, after all, the tree had been eaten by insects, so he didn't dare to take the risk to pick it.

Gu Liang was about to go back after picking almost all the fruits, but Xu Dazhuang ran over here, waving his hand while running.

"Gu Liang, we are all waiting for you, hurry over," Xu Dazhuang said breathlessly, and it was even more breathless for a little fat man like him to run.

"What are you waiting for me for?" Gu Liang asked in confusion.

"Waiting for you to exchange sugar, you said we can continue today!"

Gu Liang didn't react for a moment, but he didn't expect that they had been waiting for the whole morning.

Gu Liang climbed down the tree and went to the cave in the back mountain with Da Zhuang. When they arrived, they found that more than a dozen children were waiting in unison.

The quality this time was much better than yesterday. Many people had the same wild vegetables in their baskets. It seemed that they went home at night and asked adults where there were more wild vegetables.

Gu Liang gave everyone a piece of maltose according to the standard. Everyone was very happy. After getting it, they didn't stop and left here one after another, saying that they were in a hurry to try to pick more in the afternoon.

This attitude was too positive. Gu Liang was ashamed. He didn't expect that a piece of maltose actually gave Gu Liang a feeling of working and getting paid in the future.

But it was almost noon, and Gu Liang had to go home to cook. Yesterday, he promised his grandmother to make a Chinese toon feast, so he had to hurry up. After putting these wild vegetables into the space, Gu Liang went home.

Fresh Chinese toon has a strong aroma, but Chinese toon is rich in nitrite. It is best to eat it after blanching. Although it can be eaten without blanching, it should not be eaten in large quantities. The world is big, and life is the most important. Gu Liang still thinks that blanching is the best.

When Chinese toon meets hot water, it turns from red to green in an instant, and then it is fished out. After the whole Chinese toon is neatly arranged, rapeseed oil is added to the pot. After the oil is hot, add garlic to stir-fry, and then add a little spices bought last time, then fish it out, add soy sauce, salt and pepper to season, and then pour it directly on the Chinese toon, and a fragrant cold Chinese toon is ready.

Chop the Chinese toon and add the eggs laid by your own chickens. Although the free-range chickens in the countryside lay small eggs, the yolk color is very yellow, and the egg liquid is also yellow after beating. After the oil is hot, pour the egg liquid and Chinese toon pieces, the oil and egg fragrance burst out instantly, the sizzling sound in the oil pan is pleasant, and the unique aroma of Chinese toon is simply amazing.

After the fried toon egg was done, Gu Liang then made stir-fried toon with pickled cabbage and toon egg soup. The whole house was filled with fragrance. Even Dabao's mother next door could smell it. She asked across the room if the Gu family was making toon. Old Mrs. Gu also asked Dabao's mother across the room if she wanted to eat together. Dabao's mother said no, she couldn't stand the smell of toon.

At noon, the Gu family changed the brown rice porridge of the past and made brown rice for the first time. The family ate happily. During the meal, Old Man Gu asked Gu Erni if ​​this dish was as delicious as meat. Erni nodded quickly and said that she wanted to eat like this every day, which made everyone laugh.

But laughing aside, the Gu family couldn't stand eating like this every day. Apart from anything else, who dared to make this dry rice every meal in Lanxi Village, not to mention making four eggs in one meal. Farmers rely on eggs to exchange for spare money to buy salt and vinegar.
