Chapter 12 A Day in the City

After the room was allocated, a group of people began to sweep the house. Anyway, the owner had already left, and it would be a waste to throw away the leftovers.

The main room is where the hostess and the hostess of the house live. There are a lot of clothes in it, but they are all summer clothes, and they are all silk and satin robes. If you have money, come and grab it." So these clothes were eventually taken into the Xuannv Palace.

The two wing rooms are where the owner's son lives. They are all men's clothing, but the size of the clothes fits them well. This makes Qingyu and Hongtao finally have something to change for the time being.

Then there is the kitchen room, where there are some flour and rice left, as well as some vegetables and eggs, these things are not easy to take, I think the owner of the house only takes away the money, and throws away the food.

After being in the world for more than a month, Qingyu and the others have not eaten such precious foods as rice noodles and eggs, so at this time, when they saw these foods, they all jumped with excitement.

Hong Tao even held a handful of white and soft noodles, and kept asking how to eat them.

Zhu Feng looked at Wen Ya, then at Tong Shi, and said with a chuckle, "Both of us are not good at cooking, or I'd leave the cooking to you, so that we don't waste these precious foods in vain."

Tong Shi was a little surprised, there are women who can't cook?But after thinking about it, the mistress of the Bai family is more powerful than the cook, so she nodded happily.She was useless all the way, and now she finally feels that she can be of some use, very happy.

Next, Mrs. Tong began to prepare dinner. There were actually not many things left. The flour was about a catty, the rice was only half a catty, seven eggs, and some rotten leaves. They should have been removed and thrown away. Yes, but the Tong family also used them.

At that time, the whole city was pitch black, so no one saw the smoke from the stove on her side, so it was safe.

While Mrs. Tong was cooking, Zhufeng Wenya and Zhao Qian went to fetch water. The well was just behind the side room. Fortunately, there were buckets and everything.

Zhao Qian carried a small jar on his back, which could hold a bucket of water. After filling the water, he said he would go to the kitchen to help Mrs. Tong, and then left.

Both Zhufeng and Wenya were secretly thankful, but they were still worried about whether they would secretly get up in the middle of the night to fill up the water.

In order to prevent Zhao Qian from leaving and returning, the two quickly called Qingyu over, took out all the empty containers in Xuannv Hall, and filled them with water deftly. I can hardly stand up straight.

However, considering that the water is enough for them to eat for more than a month, this tiredness is nothing.

"Fortunately, there is no severe drought yet, otherwise we would not even have to drink water, that would be the real desperate situation in the world." Zhufeng said with emotion.

Qingyu sighed coolly: "It's just not here yet. Locust plagues are often accompanied by drought. This year is already dry and there is less rain. A severe drought is only a matter of time."

Zhuifeng's relaxed face suddenly collapsed, "Junior Sister Head, can you stop sticking knives in people's hearts like this?" After finally being able to relax a little, but now telling him that difficulties are yet to come, Could it give me some hope?

Qing Yu glanced at him lightly, "If you want to deceive yourself and others, I won't stop you." Then she left.

Wen Ya kicked Zhufeng's foot, "Coward, this little difficulty will stump you, thanks to the fact that you are still a real person who has practiced for more than 400 years, living so long for nothing." Then she followed Qingyu's pace.

"I" Zhufeng had nothing to say, and honestly got up to keep up, and kept cursing the thief in his heart for being so harmful.

But when Zhao Qian came to the stove, Tong Shi, who was meeting with him, was startled, and asked what was going on, but Zhao Qian smiled and shook his head, saying it was okay, and then sat in front of the stove to light the fire.

But he didn't know how to start a fire, and threw a few pieces of firewood into the stove hole, making the whole room full of green smoke.

Tong Shi was angry and funny, and pushed Zhao Qian to go out so as not to disturb her.

Tong took out the noodles, rolled them into two big cakes, put them in a hot iron pan, and kept turning them. After the two sides were hard, they baked them on an iron rack. After they were cooked, they became two buns. .This is the most original taste. After taking a bite and chewing carefully, the mouth is full of noodles and very full.

Just about to put the cooked steamed buns into the pot, Zhui Feng and Wen Ya brought in two buckets of water each, and said to Tong Shi, "I need to trouble you to boil more hot water, everyone, take a good bath tonight and drive away the water. Drive away all the bad smell."

Tong Shi naturally agreed, although the kitchen was busy, but the feeling of being needed by everyone was really great for her.

Two big steamed buns, a large plate of stir-fried vegetable leaves with eggs, a bowl of sour radish, and a pot of white rice, this sumptuous meal is complete.

Zhao Qian did not know where to find a jar of wine, and he poured it first regardless of whether everyone drank it or not. Not only did he earn money today, but he also had food and drink. Even when there was no famine, Zhao Qian ate less. For farmers, it is only available during festivals.I caught up with all the good things today, how can I not be happy.

He was also happy to drink some wine by Zhufeng, so he had a few drinks with Zhao Qian, but considering that he had to go on the road tomorrow, he didn't drink much, but Zhao Qian still put the wine jar into his back basket, saying that it would be later. Celebrate something happy.

After eating, everyone washed the dishes and put everything back in place. Then Mrs. Tong started to boil hot water. Ten people had to take a bath and wash their hair. Mrs. Tong heated three pots at the same time for more than an hour before letting everyone Everyone is done washing.

The dirty clothes on his body were changed, temporarily changed into the clothes of the original owner's house, and then each of them washed their own clothes.Now that the weather is hot, these clothes can be dried overnight.

Everything that needs to be tidied up is almost tidied up, eat, drink, drink and wash, and everyone goes back to their houses to sleep.

Early the next morning, Tong made the remaining rice into porridge, and baked the remaining noodles into buns. The two families were full and satisfied.

After dinner, Zhui Feng and Wen Ya took Zhao Qian out to look for supplies, they went for two hours, and around noon, the three of them came back with baskets on their backs.

Three pairs of straw sandals, two pairs of cloth shoes, three bolts of coarse cloth, two oil-paper umbrellas, and some radishes and other vegetables, all picked up on the side of the road.In fact, most of the escaped people still know how to lock the door. It is really difficult for Zhuifeng to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard, but what they lack is food, so it doesn't matter if there are more or less other things.

The shoes were quickly allocated according to everyone's size. Zhuifeng Wenya got a pair of straw sandals, the remaining pair of straw sandals was just right for Tong Shi, and the two pairs of cloth shoes, Shi'an and Heart, were suitable. As for Qingyu and the three children of the Zhao family, because their feet were too small , can only make do with the original.

The oil-paper umbrella family had one for each person, and finally Wen Ya handed three pieces of cloth to Mrs. Tong, "Elder sister should be able to sew clothes, right? These cloths will be used to sew clothes for the children first, and if there are any leftovers, I will sew clothes for you and Brother Zhao." , I and our family don’t need to worry about it, we have our own clothes.”

Tong Shi naturally knew how to mend it, so she took it immediately and thanked her again and again, "Okay, I'll hurry up and make it out."

"No hurry, just do it when you have time, and don't get tired, after all." She glanced at Tong's stomach, feeling a little sympathetic.Tong Shi didn't pay attention, turned around and put the cloth in his back basket.

Zhuifeng handed two small cloth bags to Zhao Qian, "This is what you want, and the bag on the left is for nourishing the body."

Zhao Qian immediately understood, felt grateful for a while, and then called Tong Shi to boil the medicine.

For lunch, Mrs. Tong was still in charge. She stewed radishes and other vegetables together, and it was refreshing to eat.

After lunch, everyone changed back into their own clothes. Although the clothes were still tattered, they were always comfortable after being washed. Their bodies were no longer sticky, their faces were clean, and their scalp was no longer itchy. They felt refreshed all over.

When it was not too late and the sun was getting low, everyone put on their baskets and prepared to set off.Qing Yu did a divination before going out as usual, and then said: "Let's go by water."
