After arriving at the kitchen, Xiaoguo thought about taking out all the commonly used vegetables in the ring space. It was inconvenient to go in and get them every time, so except for the meat, he took out all the other vegetables and various commonly used items and arranged them in order at once.

When he was about to go back to the house to rest after cleaning up, his foot accidentally kicked the secret compartment next to the stove. Xiao Guo curiously squatted down and removed the bricks on top, revealing something wrapped in red cloth. Xiao Guo was secretly shocked, took it out and opened it, it turned out to be one or two taels of silver. This might be the money buried by the original owner before, but he forgot about it after a long time.

Xiaoguo happily put away the considerable sum of money and went back to Zhuangzhuang's side to sleep.

The next day, Xiao Guo woke up before dawn. She got up and saw Zhuangzhuang sleeping soundly. She went out quietly without waking him up. She was going to go up the mountain. After coming out, she felt a little hesitant at the obviously gloomy weather. After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Guo decided to go up the mountain to take a look and come back early.

Xiaoguo took a small hoe and went up the mountain. He quickly reached the bottom of the mountain. By this time the sky was gradually getting brighter. He looked around to see that there was no one around and then he went up the mountain with peace of mind.

Halfway through the walk, Xiao Guo decided not to go on. If they went any further in, they would reach the deep mountains. There were too many unknown dangers, and Xiao Guo was not ready to take the risk.

At this time, Xiaoguo walked to the east. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he felt that something was wrong with this piece of land. He squatted down and looked carefully. The ground here was obviously much wetter. Xiaoguo picked up a handful of soil and squeezed it hard, and water droplets flowed down. Moreover, the plants here grew much denser than those on the other side.

Xiaoguo walked eastward and saw a river after walking for a while. Xiaoguo was delighted. As she guessed right, there must be a water source here. Xiaoguo looked around vigilantly and waited for a while. When she didn't see any danger, she walked over. To her surprise, there was a big fish nearly half a meter long in the river. Xiaoguo approached gently, watched the opportunity and scooped the fish to the shore. Xiaoguo didn't expect herself to be so accurate. This was also her first time to catch a fish.

Without being overly happy, Xiao Guo quickly threw the fish into the basket he brought with him. Just now, he saw animal feces by the river. Xiao Guo carefully identified it and guessed that it should be the feces of pheasants and rabbits. It seemed that they often came here to drink water. He quickly set up several traps here and did not dare to stay. Who knows what other large creatures drink water here.

Because he was worried about Zhuangzhuang and was afraid that he would not see him when he woke up, he walked down the mountain without stopping.

As soon as he returned to the village, smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household and the roosters in the village began to crow. Xiao Guo thought it was not too late to come back. When he got home, he looked at the backs of Zhuangzhuang who were sleeping. Xiao Guo smiled and went to the kitchen. He put the fish in a big basin and gave Zhuangzhuang a surprise when he woke up.

Then I lit the candles. Although it was daybreak, the room was still a little dark. I must tear down this wall and open a big window in the future.

For breakfast, Xiaoguo prepared some porridge, some cold potato shreds, and some spinach pancakes.

Find a small charcoal stove, light the charcoal and then heat the sand pot. Wash the rice, add water, cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. Cut the potatoes into shreds and blanch them, then add salt, sugar, and a little vinegar. Finally, sprinkle with freshly cooked chili oil. Don't dare add too much chili as children should eat less spicy food. Then wash the spinach and cut it into small shreds. Add flour and water and stir into a batter. Put lard in the pot, spread the pancakes when the oil is hot, and soon one golden pancake after another will come out of the pot.

When Xiaoguo brought the meal into the room, Zhuangzhuang in the inner room woke up when he smelled the fragrance. Xiaoguo asked him to wash his hands and eat. The two of them sat at the table to eat. The meal was cooked just right and they were just as full as they could be.

"Mom, this cake smells so good, just like meat." The spinach cake was fried with lard, and the flavor was absorbed into the cake.

Xiaoguo smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."

Zhuangzhuang nodded happily.
