Chapter 103 102 Food Replacement
Things came to light, and Tang Zhitong could live his own life with peace of mind.

The weather has warmed up earlier this year, not to mention mangosteen and shepherd's purse, even sophora japonica and elmgrass have also begun to bloom.

Tang Zhitong delivered the goods in the morning, and in the afternoon he went to get some seeds, sophora japonica, elm leaves, shepherd's purse and so on. When he went to the amateur technical secondary school, he also cut some grass.

The cockroach, also called the blind man in some places, is not a bull. It is an organ that grows out of poplar trees in spring in order to expand the population. It is well known to everyone but not allowed to be mentioned in some places.The ones that fell to the ground are older, while those that are immature on the tree are relatively tender and more delicious.

Needless to say about Sophora japonica, right?With a hint of sweetness, it is a rare delicacy for many people in their childhood. It is free and can be filled in your mouth if you can climb a tree.

Yuqian is similar to Sophora japonica and also has a sweet taste, but it is more sticky in the mouth.

The shepherd's purse is also good, a little astringent, but it goes well with rice after being mixed with Tang Zhitong's salad. Now, except for the dishes in Tang Zhitong's space, there is no leftover food in the Tang family.

Tang Zhitong only collects three kinds of bamboo shoots, sophora japonica and elmgrass coins in the suburbs, and does not go to the outer suburbs.

Going to the outer suburbs to get these is to compete with the farmer brothers for food, which Tang Zhitong doesn't know how to do.

Although life in the city is more difficult than before, with support from various places, it has not reached the point of exhaustion, so not many people want these things in the suburbs.

As the most charitable city, the popularity rate of compulsory education is the highest, but there are still many children who drop out of school or skip classes because they really can't learn.

As long as there are two pieces of candy, children will rush up the tree to help Tang Zhitong collect a schoolbag.

You have to travel far to dig shepherd's purse, but fortunately, it grows regardless of the ground and can be found all over the mountains and plains.

Among the many edible wild vegetables, shepherd's purse has the best taste and is the first choice for poor families to replace their meals. Even in another 60 or [-] years, shepherd's purse will still be available on the market. Of course, those are artificially grown and have a bland taste.

Tang Zhitong doesn't know whether hard work can make him rich, but he knows that hard work can conceal the existence of space to the greatest extent.

Tang Zhitong collects these, only a small part is for consumption now, and the rest will be used to hide people's eyes in the next few years.

At the most difficult time, if someone was jealous and reported it, and someone came to the Tang family to investigate and saw the family eating black steamed bread, or this kind of pancake mixed with vegetables and sophora flowers, who would think that the Tang family was eating well?

After working like this for a few days, Tang Zhitong received a phone message from Wu Haiyang. Sister Qian told Tang Zhitong: The branch will be waiting tomorrow morning.

"The verbal message is not complete. I told you to wait. Isn't it to pick a fight with you?" Qian Zhongping asked speculatively.

"Aiya, my dear sister, where did you think you were? It's a good thing." Tang Zhitong was doubly happy. Finally, the dust had settled.

"What good thing?" Qian Zhongping asked excitedly.

"I have made a small invention, and the higher-ups think it is quite useful. Come and give me a reward tomorrow." Tang Zhitong said modestly, slightly downplaying his credit.

"Oh! That's a great thing. Congratulations to the great inventor of our branch. Let me borrow your joy and pass it on to your children when you go home!" Qian Zhongping stood up after hearing this and reached out to shake hands with Tang Zhitong to express his congratulations.

"Do you still believe this?" Tang Zhitong shook hands with Qian Zhongping, dumbfounded. He raised his eyes and looked down. Qian Zhongping got up a little bit eagerly and swung a few times. She was in urgent need of a new style. Xiaoyi!

"Hey, there's no harm in trusting him. What if it works?" Qian Zhongping shook hands and sat down happily.

"Yes, you are quite pragmatic." Tang Zhitong was amused by Qian Zhongping's words. These are the real ordinary people. If it works, just believe it. If it doesn't work, just leave it. "What should I do if I'm not pragmatic? My child's brain is like a lump on a tree. He's so excited to eat that one person can outshine the rest of the family, but the family is poor." When talking about food, Qian Zhongping's face became more sad.

"It's the same for every family. Just get over it and you'll be fine. There are sophora japonicas, elm leaves, crabapples, and shepherd's purses out there. These can be eaten. As long as you work hard, you should be able to fill your stomach." Tang Zhitong gave Qian Zhongping some advice. It's not worth mentioning that you have to waste food for yourself.

"It's a solution, but it's a bit embarrassing, right?" Qian Zhongping had doubts on his face and couldn't wipe it away.

"Sister Qian, your belly can't deceive others, so what's the point of face? Only when you can fill your belly can you be at ease." Tang Zhitong finally understood why no one in the suburbs wanted it. After a few good years, he started to lose face.

"You're right, let the brat go up the tree to pick it when you get back. It will save you some time." Qian Zhongping made up his mind after hearing Tang Zhitong's advice.

After chatting with Qian Zhongping for a few words, Tang Zhitong went home. Today we people are happy and eat rabbits!

Because of the uncertainty before, Tang Zhitong never told Zhang Guifang about the medal.

When Tang Zhitong came home and mentioned this, Zhang Guifang was so excited that she asked for more dishes. Four dishes were required!

A rabbit made its due contribution, simmering a pot of Feilong soup and adding shepherd's purse. Zhang Guifang generously took out five eggs and asked Tang Zhitong to fry them.

The eggs are not big, add a few chives, and you have a real plate of scrambled eggs with green onions.

For each dish, Zhang Guifang would serve it in a small bowl.

Tang Zhitong has received the letter that his uncle has arrived home safely. He plans to develop two copies of grandma's photos and send them to his uncle.The look in my uncle's eyes last time meant so, but maybe he was too cash-strapped to open his mouth.

On the big day, Tang Zhitong tried making another pot of sophora flower cake, the kind that was secretly mixed with honey. I believe his two younger sisters and Miss Wang would definitely like it.

When Xiao Wang comes back from get off work, the food is almost ready, so he can wash his hands and serve it on the table.

"Why is it so rich today?" Wang Jingwen was a little surprised and took out a boiled egg from her pocket. "It seems that this boiled egg can be saved for tomorrow."

"My second-class merit score has been achieved. Brother Yang will bring it to me tomorrow. Let's celebrate in advance today. Wash your hands and get ready to eat. The food will be ready soon." Tang Zhitong shared the good news with his wife. There was rabbit meat in the pot. A rabbit is split in half, half spicy and half non-spicy.

Xiao Wang likes spicy food, but other people in the family don't like it very much, so when Tang Zhitong is in charge, he will make an extra flavor.Zhang Guifang also tried to make it, but the taste was not good...

During the meal, perhaps because she was watching her sister-in-law enjoy the meal, Fengzhi secretly tasted a piece of spicy rabbit meat and spit it out. She was reluctant to part with it and could only "sizzle" while chewing it. Spicy tears welled up in her eyes.

"Here, have a drink of water." Tang Zhitong stood up, took a bowl, and poured a bowl of mountain spring water for his little sister from the bucket nearby. Spicy and iced drinks go best, but he couldn't go out in front of everyone to get a cold drink that had been frozen a while ago.

"Fengzhi is very brave." Wang Jingwen praised her sister-in-law when she saw her crying immediately.

The praise had an effect. Fengzhi squeezed out two tears and grinned at her sister-in-law: "I can eat two more pieces!"

　Sorry, I'm a little tired, so I'll post the second update later.

　　It’s stressful to update 4000 times a day. I’m afraid I won’t have much energy to interact with the big guys on chapter reviews in the future.
