Chapter 20 Vitality
Watching the jerky rice boiling in the pot, she couldn't help but swallow.
"Get out of the way, be careful your saliva might fall in."
Zhao Chunhua said this and pushed her aside.
She asked Zhang Tianbao to bring the large wooden basin used for kneading dough at home, and asked Zhang Daniu to bring a bag of black flour.
Everyone gasped in surprise when they saw her pouring black flour into the basin.
"Mom, are we still eating black flour tonight? With so much food, there must be a lot left. Shouldn't we waste it?"
There is less than half of the black flour left at home. If we continue to eat like this, we can only last for a few days at most.
But if Zhao Chunhua poured in half a bag at once, wouldn't she have nothing to eat for the rest of her life?
"From today on, we must have enough to eat every meal."
Zhao Chunhua ignored their concerns and not only poured in half a bag of black flour, but also poured in all the wheat flour she had saved privately.
When the children saw the white wheat flour, their eyes widened.
"White flour?! Mom, how do you have white flour?"
Zhang Tianfu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Keep your voice down, as if you're afraid that people don't know what good things we have at home."
Hearing Zhang Tianfu's loud voice, Zhao Chunhua slapped his arm in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Tianfu quickly covered his mouth.
Fortunately, the place where they lived was originally remote, and they had previously had conflicts with the villagers over medicinal materials, so everyone deliberately avoided them, so there was no one else here except them.
"Mom, was this flour also given by that master?"
Zhang Tianbao suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Chunhua responded.
"Master?"
Zhang Baozhu and Zhang Daniu were still unaware of the situation and asked in confusion.
Zhang Tianbao secretly glanced at Zhao Chunhua's expression, then cleared his throat and told everyone the conversation between him and Zhao Chunhua in vivid detail.
After hearing his words, everyone widened their eyes and looked at Zhao Chunhua.
"Mom, did you really meet an immortal?"
Zhang Baozhu excitedly pulled Zhao Chunhua's arm.
"Will we have plenty of food in the future and never go hungry again?"
Zhang Tianbao and the others' eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is just a daydream!"
Zhao Chunhua rolled her eyes and knocked a chestnut at everyone.
"The immortal only taught me some skills, but didn't give me a mountain of gold and silver for me to squander. If I want to live a good life, I still have to rely on my own efforts."
The children nodded after hearing this and were quite happy.
With the help of immortals, their future lives will definitely be better.
Zhao Chunhua stirred the flour for a few times, added some water, kneaded it into a dough, covered it with a cloth, and placed it next to the fire to let it rise for a while.
After the dough had risen, she divided it into several evenly spaced small pieces, formed them into pancakes, and baked them in the ashes.
By the time the porridge is cooked, the scones are ready.
Although it was still hot, the children quickly moved the burnt wood and dug out the bread.
We have been drinking watery soups these days, and now we can finally eat solid flatbreads and coarse rice porridge. No one has time to chat, but just wolfs down mouthful after mouthful.
This coarse rice porridge seasoned with dried meat, coupled with crispy bread, tastes better and better the more you eat it, and the sense of happiness is beyond words.
The whole family shared a bowl of porridge and drank it all, with a few leftover bread left.
Zhao Chunhua gave it directly to Xie Lanqin and asked her to keep it well.
Xie Lanqin took them nervously and put them carefully into a black bag.
After dinner, Zhao Chunhua asked them to light the fire, boil a pot of water, and make some honeysuckle for everyone to drink.
Taking the opportunity, she quietly added the magical spring water from the space into the water.
I accidentally discovered when collecting wheat before that this water is sweeter and more thirst-quenching than ordinary spring water, and it can also improve physical strength and reduce fatigue.
So she often mixes a small amount of space water into her family's drinking water.
One of the reasons why their whole family is in good health is because of it.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Zhao Chunhua always used it very carefully and in small amounts.
So the children didn't notice anything unusual.
But this time, several people felt something different as soon as they finished drinking.
"I didn't expect this scented tea to be so sweet and refreshing."
Zhang Tianbao smacked his lips and said.
"After drinking it, I feel a lot lighter."
Zhang Tianfu stretched and felt warm all over.
Several others had similar feelings.
But they all thought that this was just the effect of honeysuckle.
Only Daniu frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was unusual.
At night, when the children had all gone to bed, Zhao Chunhua quietly slipped into the space and quickly planted all the herb seeds she had brought in during the day into the fields.
After sowing, she watered the plants specially.
Surprisingly, the medicinal seedlings that were originally dying suddenly became full of vitality.
"You were weak just now, but now you are immediately energetic!"
Looking at those emerald green leaves, Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but exclaim.
Suddenly, she remembered that she still had some saved wheat seeds.
She hurried to the cabin, grabbed a handful of wheat seeds and scattered them randomly on the field.
Unexpectedly, these seeds soon took root and sprouted in the soil.
And it was still growing rapidly, which left Zhao Chunhua dumbfounded.
She had felt regretful before, because the crops grown on the land that she had gained through good deeds would be gone after the harvest.
But now she no longer thinks so.
"The land in this space is amazing! If you make full use of it, you won't have to worry about going hungry anymore!"
As soon as the words are spoken, action begins!
Zhao Chunhua took out all her wheat seeds and scattered them on the ground.
After working all night, I finally finished planting the fields.
When I came out of the space, it was almost dawn outside.
Fortunately, I drank spiritual water before, so I didn’t feel too tired.
Since he was awake and no longer wanted to sleep, he rekindled the fire.
The flames started burning, and the surroundings were immediately illuminated.
Only then did she notice that someone was missing.
Zhang Daniu is missing.
Zhao Chunhua looked around but couldn't find any sign of him.
"Where did this guy go!"
Zhao Chunhua put her hands on her hips and was about to wake up Zhang Tianbao and the others to go look for someone together, but she saw a dark figure appear not far away.
"Mom, why are you up so early?"
Zhang Daniu walked closer and asked.
"where have you been?"
Zhao Chunhua asked him back.
"I had a stomachache, so I went over there to relieve myself."
Zhang Daniu smiled embarrassedly and pointed to the dark jungle behind him.
After hearing what he said, Zhao Chunhua didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that he couldn't sleep, I asked him to help me prepare breakfast for the whole family.
When he heard the villagers coughing in the morning and looked at Zhao Chunhua by the fire, Zhang Daniu suddenly asked, "Mom, do you really not care about those people in the village?"
"They all think I want to hurt them, so why should I care about them?"
Zhao Chunhua said with a mocking tone, and reminded him again: "We have to take care of ourselves now, so remember to wear masks recently."
Zhang Daniu nodded, but he knew in his heart that she would never really ignore it.
