Chapter 31 Store Refreshed
Meng Yi led them into the yard and took a closer look. It was indeed as Li Zheng said, half of it had collapsed, but this half was actually more than half.
Not only is the entire yard full of weeds, but the weeds are also growing quite well.
Only one of the three houses is in good condition now, but there are many windows on the roof. If it rains, it will be a typical case of heavy rain outside and light rain inside.
Not to mention the two rooms next to this one. Not only were most of them collapsed, but there were only two small corners where they could shelter from the rain. Fortunately, there was still half a wall blocking them, otherwise they would not be able to light a fire.
Half of the middle room was occupied by Ouyang Hui and his friends, while the brothers Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin and their families lived in the half-collapsed room on the left.
Seeing soldiers carrying buckets to fetch water, brothers Ouyang Minglou and Ouyang Mingxu also moved, hurriedly holding wooden buckets, pots, and water bags and saying to Meng Yi, "General Meng, we want to fetch some water and will be back shortly."
"Go ahead. Come back quickly. It might rain anytime soon."
"Hey. Thank you, General Meng."
After expressing their gratitude, the two brothers quickly caught up with the officers and soldiers who had already walked some distance away, and walked together towards the place where they could get water.
Although the sky was getting darker, the rain had not yet fallen. Ouyang Mingli and his sister Xiao Feiluo were thinking about clearing the weeds in the yard.
Not long after entering, Ouyang Mingli saw shepherd's purse hidden in the weeds. It was October, the perfect time to eat shepherd's purse.
They had been walking all this time, and even though Ouyang Feiluo had helped them smuggle themselves in, they had mostly eaten bread. They finally saw some wild vegetables, and the two little ones definitely didn't let them go.
They each took a piece of firewood picked up on the road and first pulled out the weeds for a while. Seeing that there was no danger, the brother and sister pressed the weeds with the firewood in their hands while walking in to pick shepherd's purse.
Seeing the two searching in the weeds, the twins also became interested. They dragged their tired bodies to the weed-covered yard and looked at Ouyang Mingli, who was pulling shepherd's purse with his head down, and asked, "Mingli, what are you and Luo'er looking for?"
"Little cousin, cousin, come quickly, we found some wild vegetables."
“Wild vegetables are edible”
"Yeah. It's edible. Come and pick them quickly so we can cook them later."
"Hey, I'm coming."
Hearing that they could eat it, the twins, regardless of being very tired, immediately followed Ouyang Mingli's example and took firewood to suppress the weeds. Then they walked in and looked at the wild vegetables they were picking: "This is wild vegetables!"
"Yes, this is shepherd's purse, it's edible. Cousin, here, pick it like this." Ouyang Mingli handed two shepherd's purse to the two of them.
The twins took the shepherd's purse, looked at it carefully, and then began to search in the weeds.
When the Ouyang Minglou brothers came back with the water, Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Ming had already built a stove. They put the pot of water on it and saw that it was just right. The next step was to light a fire and boil water.
Jiang Yun had already agreed with Xu Yuzhu that their two families would share a home. Thinking that they might not be able to leave for a while due to the bad weather, the two sisters-in-law decided to make some porridge first so that everyone could have a good bowl.
Just as the food was cooking, Ouyang Mingli and the other two came in. Seeing that each of them was holding a handful of shepherd's purse, Xu Yuzhu smiled and said, "How lucky are you to find shepherd's purse among the weeds."
"Hey, mother, this shepherd's purse hasn't been washed yet."
"For mother. She is a fast runner and will be back soon. You guys should sit down and have a rest." Xu Yuzhu said as she found Meng Yi with shepherd's purse. After saying a few words, she quickly walked towards the direction of the stream in Meng Yi's surprised eyes.
Seeing Meng Yi in a daze, Xiao Qi walked over and cornered him and asked, "Meng Yi, what's wrong?"
"This Miss Xu actually knows wild vegetables."
Hearing Meng Yi's words, Xiao Qi laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? I heard that Miss Xu was thrown into the military camp by General Xu for training since she was a child. Let alone wild vegetables, even edible things in the mountains, I guess Miss Xu knows them all."
“I was really thrown into the military camp.”
"Oh, how could this be false? Our Lord Wu saw it with his own eyes."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this old General Xu is really an extraordinary ruthless person. He actually sent his own daughter to the military camp for training."
Looking at Meng Yi's expression, Xiao Qi instantly laughed: "I'll go back and tell General Xu what you said. You said he was a ruthless person, haha..."
"What are you talking about? I was planning to pick some shepherd's purse to eat, but I wasn't as fast as those kids. Sigh..."
Seeing him, surprised and shocked one moment, sighing the next, several people who knew Meng Yi glanced at him and thought: "Pretend! Keep pretending! Even a sack can't hold more than you can hold."
Soon, Xu Yuzhu, who had returned after cleaning up the shepherd's purse, gave half of it to Meng Yi, then quickly returned to their place, chopped the shepherd's purse with a dagger, put it into the pot, and cooked porridge with the rice in the pot.
Ouyang Feiluo was standing aside, supporting her head with her little hands and looking at the pot with a smile. She was feeling very happy at this moment, because her shop had been refreshed, her shop that had only the same items had been refreshed.
After her number of transactions reached one thousand, her store turned on the automatic refresh function.
However, at this time, it has been refreshed. It is no longer just buns and rice. Although there are still five items, the items are different.
Typhoid pills, one pill each time, ten pills per set, price 80 system coins.
Ginger, one pound per portion, 100 system coins.
Rice, 10 jin per portion, 60 system coins.
Salt, one portion of five pounds, 150 system coins.
Braised pork, half a pound per portion, 120 system coins.
Looking at the five refreshed items, Ouyang Feiluo was so happy that he excitedly clicked to buy with his mind, bought nine copies of all the items, and put them in his backpack.
It's not that she didn't want to buy more, but the maximum purchase quantity now is 9, which is a limit, so little Philo waved her hand and bought the maximum quantity.
However, her backpack only has twenty slots, and she has already used ten of them. It seems that next time she buys something, she will have to put it into the system space.
The Ouyang Jin brothers were cooking porridge, while Meng Yi was making pancakes for their whole family's dinner and also making dinner for Meng Yi and his friends.
The aroma of rice wafting in the air made Chen Yanhua swallow her saliva again and again.
However, no matter how long they waited, Ouyang Qin and his men did not bring them porridge. Instead, they received a bowl of hot soup and a pancake from the officers and soldiers.
So, Chen Yanhua got angry.
"Ouyang Jin, you are such an unfilial person. You eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, but you let your parents eat dry biscuits..."
"Ouyang Jin, not only are you a rebellious son, but you also repay kindness with hatred. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago..."
Listening to the words of the old lady Ouyang Chen Yanhua, Ouyang Jin, who was drinking porridge, did not pause for a moment. He drank the porridge and ate the bread distributed by the officers and soldiers, and paid no attention to Chen Yanhua and others who were separated by a wall.
