Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Chapter 34: 23 Households with the surname Yun

Yun Duo handed the small basket to Yun Ruer and said to Le'er, "This is a reward from Sister Duoer to Le'er. Ask your third sister to help take it home. After dinner, Le'er will share the fruits with everyone, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Sister Duoer," Yun Le'er happily agreed.

Yun Ruer happily went home carrying a small basket full of cherries.

Yun Duo brought several other children to the pig-slaughtering scene. The wild boar had been cleaned up and the children ran to watch the meat being sold. Yun Chenxing also ran over to help count the copper coins.

Yun Qingsong took the butcher knife and cut off a large piece of meat from the top, which was estimated to be more than ten pounds. He handed it to Li Xiuxiu next to him and said:

"Xiu Xiu, take the meat to your second uncle's house and stew it tonight. Then steam the pig's blood and stew the rabbit that Duo'er hunted yesterday. Don't let it go bad in this hot weather."

Not long after the wild boar died, the clouds moved into the space. The space was in a static state, so whatever you put in was the same as what you came out, so a lot of pig blood was released when cleaning up.

Li Xiuxiu took a few more meat bones and put them in the empty wooden basin beside her and said, "Second Aunt has already cut up some sauerkraut leftover from last winter at her home, so use these meat bones to stew it."

Li Xiuxiu looked at the sky. Although it gets dark late in early summer, it is getting late. She has to hurry up, otherwise she will have to light the lights to eat.

So Li Xiuxiu called her two sons, "Chenyang, Chenxi, take this basin of pig blood and bones to your second grandmother's house and ask your aunt to stew the bones with sauerkraut and then steam the pig blood. I'll go to our kitchen to make braised pork and stewed rabbit meat with radish."

This made the villagers who were watching the fun and preparing to buy some pork very jealous.

In the countryside, a family that can eat ten kilograms of meat throughout the year is considered to be relatively well-off. Those who are not so well-off can only afford to buy one or two kilograms of meat to satisfy their cravings during the Chinese New Year.

Yun Qingsong cut more than ten pounds of meat to stew it all at once. He was really generous. They also heard that there was rabbit meat. They couldn't even imagine it. This was as good as a banquet held by the country people.

Villagers who were preparing to buy meat also came over one after another. They heard that Yun Qingsong's wild boar meat was 15 cents per pound, which was 3 cents cheaper than the pork in the town, so they wanted to buy some for their children to satisfy their cravings.

Every household bought one pound or two pounds. Even the fourth grandmother of the Yun family, who was in the most difficult situation, came over to buy half a pound of meat to take home to satisfy her grandson's craving.

Grandma Si Tang is Yun Qingsong's fifth-degree relative, and she is called his great-grandmother according to seniority. She lives with her 17-year-old granddaughter Yun Qingcao and six-year-old grandson Yun Qingshui, and her life is very hard.

Yun Qingsong took eight cents from the fourth grandmother and cut off more than two pounds of meat for her, and also gave her two meaty bones. The fourth grandmother tried to refuse but was so moved that she kept wiping away tears.

There are not many people in Yunjia Village, only about thirty households, and twenty-three of them have the surname Yun. They all have the same ancestor and are more or less related.

Yun Qingsong gave a little more meat according to the weight, and the villagers thanked him gratefully.

Yun Duo felt that the folks in Yunjia Village were quite simple and honest, and basically there were no ones who would take advantage of others or cause trouble.

There are no top-notch characters like those in the time-travel farming novels, which may also be related to the status of my family in the village.

My grandfather is a doctor. People who eat grains and cereals will inevitably get sick and have to ask my grandfather for treatment.

My second grandfather is the village chief, and even those ruffians dare not offend him.

My father was the only scholar in the village and a teacher in a private school. Maybe he could become a juren in the future. In ancient times, scholars were very respected, so no one dared to make trouble in front of his house.

This made Yun Duo, who wanted to emulate the heroine in a time-travel novel and live in ancient times, feel at a loss for a moment.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, Yun Duo handed a seasoning packet for stewing sauerkraut to Yun Ping'er who was watching the fun nearby, and said, "Ping'er, this seasoning packet was made by your great-grandfather. Take it to your aunt and ask her to put it in the pot of stewing sauerkraut with bones."

The material bag is made of gauze produced by Space. There was also gauze in this era, but the texture was not as good as the modern ones. However, there is not much difference if you don’t look closely.

There are all kinds of seasonings in the Yunduo Space Kitchen. Now Yunduo only dares to take out simple seasonings so that she will not be easily discovered.

Yun Ping'er took the seasoning packet and agreed crisply, "Okay, Sister Duo'er, I'll send it over right away."

Yun Duo also returned to her own kitchen to help Li Xiuxiu.

When Yun Duo came in, Li Xiuxiu was stewing rabbit meat and radish. She had already added soup and was ready to cover the pot. Li Xiuxiu had prepared the ingredients in the afternoon so it was cooked quickly.

Yun Duo called out to Li Xiuxiu, "Mom, wait a minute. Grandpa asked me to bring this spice bag to you. It will taste better if you put it in the meat."

The seasonings in this era were still very simple. There was only half a jar of salt and half a jar of soy sauce on the stove. Soy sauce was usually added to stew meat to enhance the flavor, and people were reluctant to add more.

Yun Duo took out the seasoning packet from the space and put it into the pot. Li Xiuxiu didn't think much about it. In the past, her father-in-law would occasionally pick some seasonings when he went up the mountain to collect herbs, but they were not as delicate as today's and were not wrapped in gauze.

After Yun Duo put all the seasoning packets in, Li Xiuxiu placed a wooden steaming curtain in the pot, put the two-grain steamed buns made this afternoon on the curtain, covered the pot and said: "Duo'er, you're here at the right time. Come and light the fire. Mother cut the pork into pieces and we'll make the braised pork later."

Two large pots were lit in the kitchen. One was used to stew rabbit meat, while the other was used to warm water. Yun Duo sat in front of the stove and started to light the fire.
