I’m keeping vigil again

Jin Jiaojiao was really nervous after he woke up, because she could see that her eldest brother and sister seemed to have a good relationship.

This made her seem a bit redundant, so she consciously lowered her presence and worked quietly on the side.

However, she never expected that the first thing her eldest brother said to her was thank you.

This made her a little at a loss, "I, I didn't, it was sister Ayan who always took care of me."

"Don't be afraid, big brother is not scary." Jin Yan patted her head comfortingly, "You two get to know each other well, and I'll make you something delicious."

After she left, the older one and the younger one looked at each other. Jiang Yan didn't have much experience with children, but Jin Jiao Jiao was, after all, the first child of Jin Yan.

Moreover, she also took her surname, and she would be regarded as Jin Yan's younger sister in the future. Jiang Yan said that he must have a good relationship with this sister-in-law who suddenly appeared!

Jin Yan planned to renovate here for a day and stay there for a while while there was water. After all, he didn’t know when he would find water next time.

After this period of time, she found that thirty pounds of water was still not enough for them, especially now that there was one more person.

In the past, two people would use one and a half kilograms of water a day. Now, if there are three people and a horse, it would be two kilograms of water a day, which is one bucket.

The ten water storage tanks in the car can only be used for ten days if they are all filled. If an emergency occurs, it will be terrible.

So we still have to make a few more water storage buckets, and it’s best to fill them with as much water as the car can hold.

Jin Yan first walked around the surrounding woods, but there was still nothing to eat, and she couldn't even see a bird. If she was not injured, she could go deeper.

She had no choice but to go find some bamboo and plan to make a few more water storage barrels when she had some free time. When she walked around, she suddenly found traces of bamboo shoots.

She was secretly happy that she had finally gained something.

She quickly dug out a few. After this severe drought, there was no food everywhere, but there was a small ditch here, and the surrounding land was not very short of water.

But she felt that this small ditch might not last long before it would dry up, because she had to guard it when fetching water today.

The ditch is only as big as a sea bowl. It would take a stick of incense to fill the ditch.

However, the bamboo shoots in the forest were not affected and grew well.

When the time comes, take these winter bamboo shoots back and bury them in the fire with their shells until cooked, and then put them in a cool and humid place. They can last for more than a month.

To eat it later, just remove the outer shell, cut into thin slices and rinse with water to remove the bitter taste.

Today's meal could be a little richer. She took out some cured pork ribs, washed them and made winter bamboo shoots and cured pork ribs soup. She also added some chestnuts, which tasted delicious.

She hurriedly made a bamboo tube that could be used for cooking. It was big enough for three or four people. She had never thought about cooking before, but now that she thought about it, she decided to bring a steaming rice bucket.

This bamboo tube rice is sweet, soft and glutinous, and overflowing with the fragrance of bamboo. I will steam it in a bucket later to give them a toothpaste.

In addition, half of the salted fish in the car was taken out to make steamed salted fish with shredded ginger. There were no other dishes. Apart from winter bamboo shoots, what I ate today was basically my own food.

But she didn't feel bad. These grains were meant for eating, and today was a good day, so she could reward herself with something good.

Jiang Yan and Jin Jiaojiao didn't know what they were talking about, but after a while, the child fell in love with him and always told him about their carriage.

Although Jiang Yan was listening to her words, his eyes gradually turned to Jin Yan, watching her busy around the stove fire.

The former Jin Yan gave him a particularly strange feeling, as if he was always out of tune with the world.

But this time they met, he seemed to feel that Jin Yan was slowly integrating into the world. She gradually became pragmatic and would plan for daily necessities.

"You two are still chatting, I've finished cooking."

When Jin Yan brought the food to the table, both of them swallowed involuntarily.

Jin Yan looked at their reactions with satisfaction, and each of them filled a bowl of rice, "Let's have a good meal today as a reward for all the hard work these days. Let's try what I cook."

Ever since she got into carbohydrates in the capital, she can't live without them now and has to eat some every day.

But you can't always eat baked buns. The two of them are not good at cooking, and the weather is cold now, so they are too hard to bite.

Jiang Yan looked at the food on the table. It was very simple, just two dishes, but it was steaming and tasted like his home.

"Eat quickly, you haven't finished your meal yet!"

Jin Yan threatened them and joked with them, but he served a bowl of soup first.

This winter bamboo shoots and cured pork ribs soup is really good. The winter bamboo shoots are fragrant and crispy, and the cured pork ribs are full of salty aroma.

She scooped a bowl and gave it to Jiang Yan, "You're not feeling well yet, drink more soup."

Jiang Yan immediately took a sip and felt comfortable all over. "This is delicious. Did you dig it just now?"

"Yeah." Jin Yan said while eating, "I only found winter bamboo shoots in this forest. Let's dig some later and save them for later."

Jiang Yan nodded silently and ate his meal seriously.

She looked up at Jiang Yan. The food on the table was steaming, making it seem like there was a layer of hazy white mist before them.

The man seemed to be thinner than before and looked more elegant.

He always eats elegantly, but his speed is not fast and dissatisfying, and it is always hard for people to find fault with his meals.

"What is this yellow thing?"

"Brother, these are chestnuts. Sister Ayan and I picked them up when we were on the road. They are delicious."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan picked up another piece and commented while eating, "This chestnut is quite sweet. Why don't you eat it? What are you looking at?"

"boom"

"boom"

Realizing that his heartbeat was uncontrollable, Jin Yan immediately lowered his head, "I wasn't looking at anything, I was just thinking about how we can sleep at night."

Jiang Yan nodded immediately and murmured to himself, "It's more troublesome at night. In the wilderness, someone needs to keep watch."

"So you can keep vigil at night from now on."

Jiang Yan looked at her with some frustration, "Am I keeping vigil again?"

He used to keep vigil at the mountain stream.

Jin Yan snorted softly, "What else should we do? You are the man among the three of us. We will sleep in the carriage at night, and you can catch up on your sleep in the carriage during the day. That's it!"

After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, they had to hurry up and get to work.

This ditch is slow to fill with water, and even their water bottles have not been filled yet, so someone has to guard it, otherwise they may not be able to fill it when they leave tomorrow.

Jiang Yan was not in good health, so he stayed here voluntarily and could also use it as a water storage bucket.

She and Jin Jiaojiao took their things to dig winter bamboo shoots. The bamboo forest was not big, so they could just search in this area.
