Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

"...It's best to pick mulberry leaves that are slightly tender and raw. After cleaning, mash them with a stone mortar. Just like me, try to break them up as much as possible to squeeze out the juice inside. The juice must be filtered before use. , otherwise the mulberry leaf tofu will have too many impurities, which will affect the taste..."

After Gu Huanxi filtered the mulberry leaf water with fine linen cloth, he went to prepare plant ash. Everyone was surprised when they saw it. They were familiar with plant ash. They usually used it to soak clothes and stuffed cloth bags with it when they were young. It can also be used as fertilizer for farming. Who would have thought that it could also be used for food?

"Plant ash cannot be used directly. You have to mix it with water into a paste first, and then filter it through fine linen cloth several times. It must be clean and free of impurities. Secondly, it is the proportion. If the proportion is not properly prepared, the mulberry leaf juice will not condense. It will be relatively poor, or even not very formed, so the most critical step in making mulberry leaf tofu is to master the proportion of agglomeration, so that you can make tender and delicious mulberry leaf tofu. You will know how much I use. , a slight mistake will not have much impact..."

On the simple stone stove, a pot of mulberry leaf juice was being boiled. Gu Huanxi added filtered plant ash water into it and stirred it while adding it. After boiling for a while, she put out the fire and put the mulberry juice in the pot. Pour the stuff into a jar, "Okay, you're done, just wait for it to slowly take shape."

This doesn't look difficult at all!

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that it would be too complicated and they wouldn't be able to learn it. Then they would be scolded to death by the men at home when they go back?

At this time, someone asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, how long will it take for the tofu to take shape?"

Gu Huanxi followed the voice and looked over. After searching hard in his memory, he got some impression. This is Uncle Xu's little girl. She just got hairpins this year. Her name is Xu Hongying. She looks delicate and timid, and it is easy for men to pity her. She smiled and said, "It will take about two hours. If you make it now, you can have it for dinner."

Xu Hongying stirred the handkerchief in her hand and said in a low voice, "Thank you, third sister-in-law..."

"Then, how do you make it delicious after it's formed?" Another voice sounded, this time it was a round-faced girl, looking at her with bright eyes, without dodge.

Gu Huanxi really didn't know her, probably because her eyes were too blank, so she took the initiative to introduce herself, "Sister-in-law Xu San, my name is Xu Yangliu."

Oh, she's the village chief's little girl.

Gu Huanxi said with a smile, "What a good name..."

Xu Yangliu asked, "Is this a good name? I even complained to my father, why did I choose such a name? Willow is not pretty at all. How can there be beautiful flowers?"

Gu Huanxi said, "How could it be? There are so many poems praising willows by the ancients. Why do you wet your clothes with the rain of apricot blossoms? Why do the willow winds blow on your face without chilling your face? Why do grasses grow long and orioles fly in the February sky? How about the willows blowing on the embankment and intoxicated by the spring smoke? There is also a tree with thousands of branches in the spring breeze, tender as gold and soft as silk. Look, if the willow is not popular, why do so many famous poets write poems and praise it?"

Hearing this, Xu Yangliu's face turned red with excitement. Although she didn't understand what the poem meant, the poem was enough. "So my name is so popular?"

Gu Huanxi nodded and brought the topic back, "Mulberry leaf tofu can be directly sprinkled with sugar water and honey to make it sweet, or it can be stewed with other vegetables. You can eat it as you like, just like tofu."

Xu Yangliu responded with "Oh, oh".

Everyone else also understood and understood, and they couldn't wait to go back to operate.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi said, "..."

Do you still have to wait for her to speak before you dare to leave?

She smiled slightly and said, "Has everyone learned it? Then hurry up and give it a try. If you have any questions, come and ask me at any time."

Everyone thanked him dryly and then dispersed.

Gu Huanxi couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face. Does she look very powerful?

At this noon, almost no one in the village could rest. They were all busy making mulberry leaf tofu. They had finished picking the mulberry leaf tofu on the nearby roadside, and some were looking for it in the distance. In short, if you can make more, make more. , there are many people in the family, how can we still be afraid of not being able to finish the food?

As a result of this busy work, when we were on the road in the afternoon, every household had a few more cans in their arms. It was safest to hold them on the cart to avoid being beaten and scattered.

The speed in the afternoon was obviously a lot slower, but Xu Huaiyi didn't rush him. He understood the principle of taking it easy, and he also knew that going too far would never be enough. The most important thing was that he was getting closer and closer to Qingzhou, and there were more and more refugees on the road. He had to Give them the opportunity to observe it with their own eyes. Only by facing it up close can they defeat the last bit of luck in their hearts.

Only then can they clearly recognize the reality, risk everything, and no longer dare to think of any way out.

There is no way out!

Sure enough, things developed as he expected.

Seeing more and more refugees fleeing famine on the road, the people of Xujiacun could not remain uneasy, especially since the refugees were obviously more miserable than they looked, and some even looked like they had been robbed. While they were panic-stricken, They were just lucky. They were lucky that they left home early and didn't wait until they ran out of ammunition and food. They were even more lucky to go with the villagers. There were many people and they were safe. As long as they didn't encounter any bandits, they were not afraid of being bullied.

On the road, from time to time there are people who suddenly fall down while walking and cannot stand up again. No matter how loudly their relatives around them shout, they remain as unconscious as mud.

They didn't know whether they were fainting from hunger or sick. If they turned around to look with a soft heart and curiosity, the old people in the team would shout, "Don't worry about others, take care of yourself!"

There were even people who came over to beg when they saw that their team was in good order and everyone was in good spirits. Moreover, the carts were full, and they were begging and complaining in all kinds of ways, and they were miserable and pitiful.

Some people can't bear it and inevitably feel a little sympathy, but fortunately they still hesitate and don't really show kindness.

When Village Chief Xu saw this scene, he immediately followed the line and said, "No one is allowed to meddle in other people's business. Think about how much food they have left and whether they can reach the capital. If there is not enough food, what will happen to them now?" It’s your future, so don’t point to others to help you, no one will have enough food left.”

"It's not that I'm cruel and won't let you show kindness, but right now, we can't afford this kindness unless you are willing to leave your wives, children, and children behind."

"Special circumstances, special treatment!"

The last sentence was struck down with absolute certainty, leaving no room for doubt.

The villagers became much calmer instantly and no longer dared to look around.

An older person asked, "What does special treatment mean in this special situation?"

Village Chief Xu explained, "It's a way to deal with problems. This is what Huaiyi said to me just now. He was afraid of these situations happening, so he specifically warned him in advance."

"Oh, what exactly does that mean?"

Village Chief Xu tried his best to repeat Xu Huaiyi’s original words, “Specifically, when facing difficulties and challenges, we should adopt different practices or strategies from conventional ones to adapt to special situations and needs, so that we can better solve the problem. , achieve better results.”

"Huai Yi knows so much..."

"He said this was all taught by his wife."
