The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Wei Hongmian pulled the person back and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to avoid it. It would be better if you learned it. We will wait for you to eat it in the future."

Bai Jingzhi was already drooling.

I remember that her mother was depressed because of work and was recuperating at home. When she was depressed, she relied on cooking delicious food to distract herself.

From a kitchen novice to a cooking master, only they, father and daughter, know how many times they have ruined the kitchen.

All things are difficult at the beginning. Later, her mother learned cooking skills by watching short videos.

In modern times, Bai Jingzhi loved to eat pork jerky, and Wei Hongmian learned how to make it.

Whenever she went back to college, pork jerky was on the must-have list of things she would bring for her roommates.

Her mother did change a little after she came here.

This time, Wei Hongmian simply didn't do anything and directly taught Xiao Wang how to make pork jerky.

Xiao Wang worked efficiently. In a short while, she had cleaned the ten kilograms of wild boar meat and cut it into thin strips.

"Sister-in-law, do you really need to put so much sugar?

If my mother knew about this, she would scold me for wasting things.”

Little Wang held the spoon in her hand but couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Sister-in-law, if mother asks, just say I used it!"

Wei Hongmian simply snatched the spoon from Xiao Wang's hand and scooped three large spoonfuls from the sugar jar before stopping.

"Okay, okay," Xiao Wang's face turned pale and she snatched the spoon away, "Mom is going to talk nonsense again!"

The mother and daughter forgot that sugar was a rare commodity in ancient times, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that ancient people tasted sugar.

Sugar had just become popular in the Dazhuang Dynasty and had not yet been used in cooking.

Bai Jingzhi's eyes were watery. She rolled her eyes and started to think about the granulated sugar in Guiyuantianju's warehouse.

The sugar there is much whiter than the sugar here. The sugar here has a hint of yellow in its white color.

In addition, sugar is also an important material and is essential for fighting.

"Here, sweeten your mouth." Little Wang used chopsticks to dip some white sugar and smeared it on Bai Jingzhi's mouth. "It's not as good as the cakes in your city. In the eyes of us country kids, this white sugar is a rare snack."

Bai Jingzhi blinked his eyes and hugged Xiao Wang's arm, "Aunt, you are so kind!"

This is completely a different person from before.

Being pestered and acted like a spoiled child by the younger generation, little Wang turned her head away feeling a little embarrassed.

This sight almost frightened me.

Little Wang screamed, scaring Wei Hongmian so much that his hands trembled, and a large spoonful of coarse salt particles fell into the wooden basin containing the wild boar meat.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you're wasting things when I can't see you. Why do you put so much salt?"

"Sister-in-law, spread these strips of meat out to dry in the sun for a day while the sun is still strong, and then steam them in the pot in the evening."

Wei Hongmian directly stuffed the wooden basin into Xiao Wang's hands.

"It's just a little bit of meat, but I spent so many precious things and only a little bit of silver is gone."

Little Wang held the wooden basin and looked at the sugar and salt particles inside, still feeling a little distressed.

The Bai family lived a good life afterwards and could often eat meat.

It's just that my mother-in-law has been frugal in the past six months, which has caused her to not have enough to eat and rarely eat meat.

"Can this be delicious when it's both salty and sweet?"

Xiao Wang was obviously a little unconvinced, but she still carried the wooden basin out and did as she was told.

"Mom, what did you put in there just now?"

Bai Jingzhi opened his grape eyes wide with a look of curiosity.

Wei Hongmian suddenly realized, "You saw everything? Were you acting like a spoiled child on purpose just now?"

Her daughter hasn't acted coquettishly towards her in the past few years, and she felt a little jealous when she thought about it.

"In order to divert my aunt's attention, I deliberately hugged her arm. I found that my aunt seemed to like girls very much."

In fact, Bai Jingzhi was also somewhat uncomfortable with Xiao Wang's transformation.

"By the way, Mom, what did you put in there?"

Wei Hongmian lowered his voice and explained to her:

“This is the seasoning packet I made myself when I was in modern times!

There are only coarse salt particles here, and no seasoning. How can I eat the pork jerky if it doesn't have enough ingredients?

I took it out from the villa on purpose, luckily you were smart enough to divert her attention."

Bai Jingzhi's attention was not on the seasoning, but she was a little worried about the situation in the space. She asked quickly:

“From the villa?

Mom, is it day or night in this space?

People don't need to go in, can they use their mind to take things?"

“Well, your grandmother gave me something, and I just put it in the villa with my mind.

When you have time, show your father what those things are. I don’t know what he is busy with now.”

After Wei Hongmian finished speaking, he began to think about how to deal with the banknotes.

"I can't take anything out with my mind. It seems I still have to go into Guiyuantianju!" Bai Jingzhi just tried it and there was no response at all.

"Sister-in-law, you two can go and have a rest! I will steam the buns and bake the pancakes by myself."

Little Wang came in from outside carrying an empty wooden basin, her expression much softer.

"That won't do! How can we push this job onto you alone? We—"

"Well, you two look so frail, you are far inferior to the mother and daughter!

Those two are so slippery, they just know how to be lazy."

Little Wang didn't let Wei Hongmian continue speaking. She raised her chin and nodded in the direction of Yao's mother and daughter.

Then the mother and daughter were pushed out of the kitchen by Xiao Wang.

"Hey, there are more and more people to worry about from now on!"

Wei Hongmian smiled helplessly, without any displeasure.

Bai Jingzhi shook his head and poured cold water on her mother:

"Don't talk about it so early. You won't know what other people are like until their lives are at stake!

Mother, put away your compassionate heart, this is not a peaceful modern world."

Wei Hongmian is a doctor who combines Chinese and Western medicine. He has a soft heart and can easily empathize with others.

Such people are also easily swayed by emotions.

I had only known a stranger for two days, but I actually softened my heart.

Wei Hongmian lowered his head in silence for a long time before speaking, "I thought too simply. How can I, a commoner in troubled times, bear the responsibility of supporting other people's lives! What's more... I am facing the danger of having my entire clan executed. It is not easy to do good deeds."

Bai Zhao's voice sounded behind the two of them, "You two have been dawdling here for a long time, is this all you are talking about?"

He heard the conversation between the two.

"Dad, where did you come from?"

"We just finished loading the grain. It turns out that the grain production here has also decreased. The wheat that matured this summer has many shriveled grains. Even the corn has many empty shells."

Bai Zhao is now a little unsure whether it is just the Bai family or the whole village of Jingkanzi that is like this.

No one from the Bai family went to the fields to farm this year, and during the busy farming season, they hired temporary workers.

"But fortunately, there is a lot of old grain, enough for the whole family to eat for a while."

"No wonder my aunt said that grandma has been much more stingy this year, so that's why!"

Just now, Xiao Wang complained to them a lot about how difficult life was in the countryside. During the busy farming season, she just cooked at home and had no idea about the situation in the fields.

Wei Hongmian quickened his pace and urged the father and daughter, "Let's go back first. I'll show you something!"
