"Qing'er...Let's go back..." Ang Lee smiled and got up from the stone. The little girl Qing'er immediately came to support Ang Lee, because Ang Lee didn't know why she felt sore after waking up. Later, she knew that she had fallen off the cliff and had a day off to get better, but her condition was still not good.
With Qing'er's support, Ang Lee returned to Zhangjia Village, Qinling Mountains, not far away.
It is said to be Zhangjia Village, but in fact, there are only eleven households in this Zhangjia Village, and the house is still very strange. The house of Ang Lee's family is at the innermost point, with a large yard. Outside the Lee's family, ten face-to-face houses were built.
Ang Lee felt that this style was like when he was in court, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne in the middle and the ministers stood on both sides. It was very strange, whose village had such a style.
As soon as I entered the village, an uncle in his 40s came towards me. After seeing Qing'er, he said with a little complaining: "Qinger, didn't you tell you that you shouldn't take the young master out?
You must know that the young master just fell off the cliff and was injured and has not recovered completely."
The uncle's name is Zhang Hu... He is the absolute boss of Zhangjia Village. The ten families in Zhangjia Village are all brothers, but they are not brothers. However, they have a good relationship like brothers. They are very respectful to Ang Lee and have always called him Young Master.
And he also made his sons and daughters respect Ang Lee.
I remember that when Ang Lee was a child, he was accidentally knocked down by Zhang Hu's eldest son Zhang Lin. That time, Zhang Lin was beaten very badly. It was only after Ang Lee's mother came forward that Zhang Lin was not whipped.
Because of this, although the children in Zhangjia Village are the same age as Ang Lee, they are born with a sense of awe of Ang Lee.
As long as Ang Lee says, these children will unconditionally agree with it...!
"Uncle Hu...I'm fine. I'm always bored when I lie down, so I'll go out for a walk...!" Ang Lee explained to Zhang Hu with a smile.
At this time, Zhang Hu took off his leather jacket and said, "Young master... It's cold, don't get cold anymore, go back quickly... I'm going to see the condom we put on with Xue Ding. If I can get a hare or a pheasant, I'll make soup for you when I come back."
"Hey...!" Ang Lee smiled slightly, but the snow was covered with snow, so how could he catch wild game? Now all the wild game has gotten up and spent the winter.
However, Ang Lee did not expose it, and still showed a longing expression.
This expression made Zhang Hu very happy... he touched Ang Lee's head and left, followed Ang Lee and walked into the village with Qing'er's support. At this time, there were not many people in the village. He was looking for food during this period, and only some women were at home.
After seeing Ang Lee, women would shout "Young Master" and Ang Lee would bow politely to return the gift.
When he arrived at Ang Lee's door, Qing'er pushed open the bamboo door and helped Ang Lee into his home. Although Ang Lee's house was also the same...a house made of mud bricks made of grass and mud, the inside of Ang Lee's house was very stylish.
The living room, dining room, bedroom, study room... are all available, and the furniture inside is also top-notch and good. For example, the bed where Ang Lee sleeps in his bedroom is made of the best nanmu. It is very big, and one bed can sleep five or six people.
Although the bedding is a bit old, it is indeed exquisite silk, but Ang Lee doesn't know why... It's not that Ang Lee fell and lost millions, but that Ang Lee has no answer to this question since childhood.
After helping Ang Lee to the chair, Qing'er immediately started to grow carbon pots, but there was no coal, because the thing sold in winter was too expensive, with only wood. Ang Lee looked at the carbon pot under his feet and it was actually copper, with a lifelike beast head carved on it.
Ang Lee couldn't figure out who his family was?
However, Ang Lee has no memory of this in his memory. Ang Lee is afraid of being questioned. After all, Ang Lee travels through time and he is worried that he will be seen through, so Ang Lee has always been cautious.
Qing'er was busy raising the fire, and the room was a little warmer.
At this time, Qing'er said, "Young Master... You didn't have dinner in the morning, I'll bring you the morning meal...!"
"Okay..." Ang Lee nodded, followed Qing'er and brought the food left for Ang Lee in the morning.
Bean rice... I don’t know if you have eaten it. It is the rice cooked by steaming soybeans. Because there are bad soybeans in it, it has some bitter taste when cooked. Of course, even if there is no bad one, you can cook the soybeans directly, and it is still unpalatable.
But in Zhangjia Village, this kind of bean rice is already the best staple food.
People like Zhang Hu can no longer eat bean rice, grass roots, tree bark... they start eating everything they can, because winter is coming, and they must save everything they eat, which is the sadness of ancient people.
Looking at the bowl of bean rice in front of her, Li An said slightly: "Qinger...Is our Zhangjia Village really that poor?"
Qing'er looked at Li An and comforted him, "Young master, it's like this in winter and it will get better in spring. Zhangjia Village is in the Qinling Mountains and is not subject to anyone's control. However, because of this, there is no land to plant, and you can only rely on planting some soybeans to survive every year.
Spring, summer, autumn... you can still hunt and pick up wild vegetables... But when winter comes, all wild vegetables are frozen.
Even in the market towns below the Qinling Mountains, there is no green vegetable to eat. I heard that a sang vegetable (the predecessor of cabbage) can be sold for 100 ci or even 300 ci each!”
Ang Lee was surprised at this time. He really didn't expect that a vegetable could be sold so expensive in winter. You know, at this time, a sheep in the Tang Dynasty was only about 300 cents, and a cabbage could be sold for 300 cents.
This made Ang Lee feel like he was lit up. After all, Ang Lee really couldn’t get the cabbage, but Ang Lee couldn’t get the cabbage, Ang Lee could get another kind of green vegetable.
Even if you are a modern person, you should know that you can make bean sprouts.
1...To prepare the tools for bean sprouts, and after scalding them with boiling water, ensure that there is no oil, and the cover cloth underneath!
2. Make some soybeans and soak them all night.
3. Put the soaked soybeans into the tool for the bean sprouts.
4. Cover with cloth, then press the stones. Put the stones to make the bean sprouts grow thicker. Use water to rinse them 1-2 times a day, and you can see light when rinsing them.
Just rinse for seven days... the bean sprouts will come out, simple, fast, and 100% successful. Pick the bean sprouts and can be stored for three to five days in winter. The bean sprouts emitted are particularly crispy and taste good. Fry them with chopped garlic, ginger, a little soy sauce and a drop of sesame seed oil.
It can make you eat your nose fragrantly.
"Qing'er...how many soybeans are there in our village...!" Li An asked Qing'er next to him.
Qing'er was stunned and said, "What are you doing... I don't know very well, I have to ask Uncle Hu about grain... But I remember that I should have stored some, with hundreds or thousands of kilograms!"
Qing'er's words made Ang Lee sigh. There were about fifty people in a village, and there was still a long winter. There was only such a little food that could be eaten in less than a month. No wonder Uncle Hu and others are eating bark and grass roots now, saving soybeans.
Li Zhan nodded and said, "Okay... Wait until Uncle Hu comes back soon, please help me call Uncle Hu over. I want to exchange soybeans for green vegetables."
"Swap soybeans and green vegetables..." Qing'er said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
