My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

The earth rejuvenates.

Ning Qingxi worked hard for three days, and finally saved about a liter of alcohol.

On the first day, they still thought about sitting down and roasting taro, but they were so tired in the next few days that they didn't want to move at all, and the plan of roasting taro went bankrupt.

The alcohol content that Ning Changrong bought was too low. He bought more than a dozen jars. He thought it was quite a lot, but in fact it was not enough. In the city, it is barely enough to spend all the five taels of silver on your body.

Fortunately, he went to the county again, otherwise they might not know what happened.

After finishing the work, he dismantled all the equipment in the cattle pen. Ning Changrong originally wanted to melt it back into copper coins, but Ning Qingxi felt that if he could put it away, he would put it away first, maybe it would be useful in the future. At that time, if you want to use it, you will have to find a blacksmith to beat it, and you will have to spend an extra fee for no reason. The family is not so short of money now. Ning Changrong is right when he thinks about it. It's because something happened, maybe once is not enough.Simply keep it and find a place to put it.

After searching for a long time, I finally put it in the cellar. The main reason is that this place is hidden enough and safer, and several layers of straw are laid on it to prevent ash from falling.

After working on the equipment, I went to move the things in the cattle pen back. The black spot, which had been cold outside for three days, finally returned to my home.

……

Wang Xiujuan locked the alcohol and another bottle of allicin in a box, and Ning Qingxi was already so tired that she collapsed on the kang.

She was busy collecting alcohol these days, but she did nothing.I thought it was very simple, just keep the fire on there.

It's easy to think, but difficult to do. For a while, the airtightness is not enough. After steaming for a long time, I found that there were not a few drops of wine falling from the port of the bottle where the alcohol was collected, and all went to the air to evaporate, so a lot of wine was wasted.

After finally finishing the distillation, I found out that the alcohol concentration is not enough!
The three of them sometimes became anxious, the cow pen was so small that they could touch each other when they walked around, of course, Ning Qingxi's height could only bump into her grandma and her father's waist.

"Finally the collection is over, it's too tiring."

"Grandma, did you notice that the black spot sneaked up to lick the distilled water we threw away? Do you think it wants to drink?"

All the alcohol has been evaporated, and what is left is water, which smells of wine, but in fact there is no wine at all.

Even after Wang Xiujuan locked the box and sat on the kang, she was exhausted.

"This cow is really amazing to buy, and there are people who like to drink."

"There are so many wonders in the world. We have even experienced time travel. I still have a golden finger in my head. What's so strange about a cow drinking alcohol? But it won't have any effect on its body, right?"

"How do I know that? It shouldn't be a problem, since there's no wine in the water anyway."

Ning Qingxi was a very honest person, and when he ran out of black-spotted cattle pens, he would give him what he should be paid. "I don't know if anyone in the village still sells tofu. I promised to give him tofu dregs when he used up his cattle pen."

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi were temporarily idle, and Ning Changrong started to work again.

In the past two days of collecting alcohol, Ning Changrong, apart from helping out at the beginning, then drove the ox cart to the county several times regardless, bought a lot of food and went home.

Right now, the cellar is being expanded, and there is no place to put the grain that I bought, and Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San are also helping.

Originally, there was enough food for the family, but when he went to buy wine for the second time, he also ran into Butler Feng from the county captain's mansion. It was probably because of the sake of the last time, he was told a piece of news to him, Jinzhou There is a plague of locusts!

It was also because he was the county lieutenant's housekeeper that he was able to learn the news, and the others were kept in the dark.

When Ning Changrong met the other party, he was buying food, and several carts were carrying them into the car.

After hearing this, Ning Changrong suddenly felt a bolt from the blue.

Maps in ancient times were classified as military secrets, but there are still general maps of a country in the world. Ning Changrong bought it for a long time ago and kept it at home. Naturally, he knows where Jinzhou is.

Taixi County is located in Qinzhou Prefecture, which is a little far away from Jinzhou. There are three prefectures in the middle. Jinzhou is in the south of Qinzhou Prefecture, and the weather is warmer. There are locust plagues there. If they are lucky, they will not be affected. spread.

But just in case, Ning Changrong can't gamble on luck. He can't afford to gamble on the lives of his family. He has to stock up on food before the others react!
Who knows what those locusts were thinking?He didn't dare to take any chances.

In the past two days, Ning Changrong bought a lot of grain. Seeing that the price of grain in this county started to rise, he stopped. He spent a full ten taels of silver, and now there is only 130 five taels left in his family. This is why he Think about the reason for melting the copper pipe.

At his suggestion, the Ning family also bought some grain and put it away. Of course, he didn't directly tell them that there was a locust plague in Jinzhou, otherwise these people would go out and talk nonsense, and it would be fine if the news came. Here, the news spread everywhere, and the imperial court labeled him as a deceitful rumor, which is enough for him to eat.

Although the Ning family didn't know why the eldest brother asked them to buy more food to save up, but since the eldest brother said so, there must be a reason for him, and the eldest brother's family also bought a lot of food. They are all a family, and they will definitely not harm them.

Although I feel sorry for spending money on the prescription of chilblain ointment, and now I have to use a large sum of money to go out, even Fang Chunmei, who is very good at living, didn't save this money.

In the past half a year, they have seen that the eldest brother is capable, and it is always right to follow him.

After resting in the room for a while, I heard clanging and clanging outside.

Ning Qingxi put her hands on her head, feeling a little irritable. Although the two places were far apart, she was still very worried, "Grandma, do you think that locusts will come to our place?"

Wang Xiujuan was also worried, "How do I know this? I don't know how to count your fingers."

Their family has enough food, but the villagers don't know it yet. If it really affects their place, people don't take it, but their family has food, their family will become the target of everyone, don't test human nature.

If it is more serious, the refugees will flee to their place, and when the time comes, they will have to face the refugees and the villagers.

Ning Changrong came in and took a sip of water with his back aching.

Wang Xiujuan took the opportunity to tell him her worries.

Ning Changrong already had an idea in his mind, "Mother, don't worry. I'll go to the village chief's house later and tell him about it. I don't want to say it clearly, so let him point out the villagers and let them stock up on their own. Food. Believe it or not is none of my business."

"Besides, we are still some distance away from Jinju, and it may not affect us here. I stock up on food just in case, so don't worry too much." At that time, there will be no eyesight. Weapons are not decorations either.

In fact, there have been rumors in the county that the big family suddenly bought grain in large quantities. As long as you are not stupid, you can feel the strangeness. Don't stock up and feel flustered?People in Taixi County also began to hoard food.

It's just that the people in these villages live far away, so the news is not clear.
