My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Ning Changrong did not expect to be able to enjoy the service of his daughter for a while. His daughter has cooked before, but the taste is hard to describe, not to mention enjoyment.

This time it was not bad, although it was not as delicious as his mother's cooking, Ning Changrong was already satisfied.

After coming back, after washing his hands, he took a bite of pancakes and a bowl of porridge, accompanied by side dishes, and slurped his stomach. The beautiful Ning Changrong squinted his eyes.

It is already five o'clock in the evening, and the sky is still bright in the mountains at this time, but it has also begun to become a little darker than the previous few months.

"Now it's getting dark earlier, it's still not safe to work at night." Ning Changrong said while drinking porridge.

"That's right. Even though we have a lot of people, those beasts won't come here, but you won't be able to see a snake jumping out at night. If you have any work to do in the future, try to do it during the day."

When Wang Xiujuan talked about snakes, she thought of the snake behind her son when they first came to the mountainside. Now thinking about it, she still has lingering fears.

"Well, safety comes first." Ning Changrong nodded in agreement.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, he said again: "We will work for another hour later, and we will stop working when it gets dark."

After eating, Ning Changrong rested for a while before going to work.

Ning Qingxi also ran into her room, writing and drawing on paper.

……

Taixi County.

"General, there are more and more people in our city, and those people who have run around are starting to enter the city. Our food may continue to be given out like this, and it will not be enough for our brothers."

Chang Yuan tapped the table lightly with his right finger, "Has the land outside been reclaimed?"

Ma Honglin replied: "Half of the land has been reclaimed with the brothers in the army."

Chang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "It's too late to grow food right now. You can grow some vegetables that can satisfy your hunger. No matter what it is, plant it for me. You are responsible for this matter. If there is any problem, I will ask you .”

Ma Honglin immediately said: "Yes!"

He then said to a man in ordinary clothes, "Mr. Bai, how is the food delivery going?"

Bai Yunliang stood up and cupped his hands towards Chang Yuan: "General, the food transport team is already on the way, and I believe it will arrive in a month, but the food in the north is limited, so we can only take out a batch. If too much is taken out, I am afraid there will be no soldiers." food, it will cause mutiny in the army.”

"Very well, it's enough to take out a batch. As long as the current urgent needs are solved, I believe that the people in the city will be able to survive this winter relying on the vegetables grown outside the city. It will be fine when the food is planted in the spring of the next year. "

Bai Yunliang hesitated, and glanced at Chang Yuan, "General, I don't know what to say or not to say."

"Mr. Bai, please tell me." Bai Yunliang was Chang Yuan's adviser and was highly regarded.

Bai Yunliang said: "After dinner today, I heard some things in the city. Some people are already dissatisfied with only having two meals of gruel a day. If things go on like this, troubles will definitely arise."

"When we first entered the city, we used food to buy people's hearts. I understand, but we don't have enough food for ourselves. Now we have to supply them. Some people are not grateful, but start to complain that we give too little. Think about it I can't think of a better way."

"I wanted to run out of food, but in this way, what we did before will be in vain."

"But if we keep following their ideas and satisfying them, we will be dragged down by them sooner or later."

Bai Yunliang sighed after finishing speaking.

Chang Yuan smiled knowingly, with a confident look, "Mr. Bai, please rest assured, I have a solution for this matter. The porridge was given out to buy people's hearts, and to slow them down. Hu Dadao took all the food in the city. Take it, many people have been hungry for countless days, and they must have recovered a lot of strength after drinking the porridge for the past few days, so they can start working."

After Chang Yuan finished speaking, his face straightened, "Dou Mi En, Sheng Mi Qiu, desires are hard to fill, I plan to cut off the supply from tomorrow."

"Only those old people and children who can't support themselves can receive some porridge to get by,"

"Everyone else will go to work for me. If you don't want to do it, you won't have anything to eat."

Bai Yunliang's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Wonderful! In this way, they will not be dragged down by them, and they will also be given a way out, so that the people in the city will not suddenly riot."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yunliang was a little ashamed.

"I'm not as good as a general."

Chang Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Bai, you helped me a lot in the army. If I didn't have you to help me manage the accounts, I don't know how long I would be busy every day. Don't belittle yourself."

Ma Honglin was still at a loss when he heard this, "General, even if we cut off the soup kitchen, we still have to provide them with errands and let them earn food. Our food is still not enough."

"Mr. Bai, come and explain to Hong Lin."

Mr. Bai cupped his hands and said to Ma Honglin, "General Ma, although we still need to provide food, we will be stable in the city, and no one will incite the people to make trouble because we don't have enough porridge."

"As for the food issue, what we will provide them next is definitely not all food. The vegetables grown by General Ma's people can come in handy. Half of the vegetables and half of the food, plus a batch of food from the north, can also be used. Barely made it through the winter."

Ma Honglin suddenly realized, "Fortunately, we have been in the north for more than two years, otherwise we really don't know where to transfer this batch of grain."

After the meeting ended, Wang Hanting and others who had been standing all the time walked to Chang Yuan's side: "After watching the execution today, Brother Ning walked around the city a few times before going out."

Chang Yuan picked up the teacup on the table, blew on it, and took a sip of tea.

"Ning Changrong is a talented man, and his speech and conversation are not like ordinary peasants."

Wang Hanting waited for Chang Yuan to say the second sentence, but after Chang Yuan finished speaking, he continued to drink tea.

"Go down. Take care of your wounds."

The next day, Taixi County canceled the free porridge.

There was a wave of waves in the city, but it was quickly suppressed.

……

"Xixi, how are you? Uncle Sun didn't disappoint you, did he?"

Since he got Ning Qingxi's blueprint, Carpenter Sun rushed to work at night and spent a month with his apprentices, and finally made the waterwheel.

Standing under the huge waterwheel, Ning Qingxi looked very small.

In order to facilitate operation, they carried all the parts to the river and assembled them again.

"Uncle Sun, let's go into the water now and have a try. Have the sinks been set up?"

Carpenter Sun patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry about that, our sink has already been set up. Look." He pointed to the sink made of bamboo in the distance with his fingers upright.

Apart from being a little unhygienic, there are no shortcomings. After all, with limited conditions, it is not easy to build such a series of sinks with bamboo.
