Chapter 9

The next day, Old Gu Six also followed the villagers up the mountain to forage for food.

This was to let the villagers know that their family also had limited food reserves, so there was no need to target them.

Gu Chang'an continued to prepare food in the space. The space was in a constant temperature state, so the food should not spoil quickly.

She cut a basin of vegetables and planned to make vegetable buns with vegetable filling, without adding meat.

On the road of fleeing, people ate wild vegetable porridge, so eating meat buns was not appropriate.

Although eating white flour was quite ostentatious, it was still more low-key than eating meat.

Not all the people in the village were poor. There were quite a few families who could afford new rice and white flour.

At least the family with the most population was not poor, and their family was quite united.

Helping each other and having enough to eat and wear was a normal life.

They were only a father and daughter, so eating a little better was normal.

Of course, eating white flour buns did not prevent Old Gu Six from going to dig wild vegetables.

Occasionally eating a cold mixed wild vegetable dish was also good.

Gu Chang'an made five hundred vegetable buns, all steamed and placed on the long dining table outside.

After steaming the buns, she continued to make mushroom sauce, this time without adding meat.

She took out a bag of mushrooms from the refrigerator every two hours.

A bag looked like three catties, but when taken out, it weighed about eight or nine catties.

Gu Chang'an was so busy in the space that she lost track of time, and Old Gu Six did not come home for lunch.

He brought three bread made by himself that could smash wild chickens and a pot of water into the mountain.

There were many people in the mountain, so he could not bring much dry food, let alone good food.

As long as he could fill his stomach, he would eat when he got home at night.

He spent the whole morning in the mountain but didn't catch a single hair.

He leaned against a tree, and the hard bread made his teeth ache.

After eating his daughter's food for two days, he felt that what he made was too hard to swallow.

Next to him was a man of similar age to Old Gu Six, holding a piece of wild vegetable bread and eating.

Seeing his handsome face contorted, he thought he was angry for not finding anything to eat in the mountain.

"Old Six, our village has so many people, and the mountain is so big. The edible things have long been dug up.

Now everyone coming to the mountain is just trying their luck. There's no need to be so generous.

Your family only has two people. No matter how tough it is, you can grit your teeth and get through it.

Unlike my family, with over twenty people and just a little bit of food, it has to be secretly taken by my sister-in-law to help her family."

Old Gu Six looked at the man, feeling a bit familiar but couldn't remember who he was.

He handed the bread in his hand to the man, "Here, have some more."

"Daughter, your bowls, plates, and porcelain items cannot be used during the escape route.

Even if you use them at home, you must put them away immediately, in the Ye Dynasty, only the palace nobles are qualified to use exquisite porcelain.

If common people have them at home, they will be taken to the yamen by the officials and beaten, and also fined."

Gu Chang'an: What kind of bizarre setting is this world?

This is so damn annoying.

It's just two eating bowls, is it necessary?

If you can't use it, you can't use it, what exquisite porcelain?

This was bought by her at the ten-yuan wholesale market, but still, the imitation blue and white porcelain pattern was really beautiful.

"I understand, Dad."

Gu Chang'an put the bowl and chopsticks into the dishwasher in the space kitchen to wash, disinfect, and dry.

She prepared two buckets of hot bath water for Old Gu Six daily, and then the father and daughter each returned to their rooms.

The clothes Old Gu Six changed out of were all washed by Gu Chang'an the next day in the washing machine in the space.

Spin-drying and drying, no need to hang them outside.

When others passed by, no one would know that they had water to bathe and wash clothes.

The laundry detergent Gu Chang'an used had a faint floral scent, and the clothes she washed and wore on her body, as long as she didn't get close to people, the scent couldn't be smelled.

She doesn't have a fragrance-free laundry detergent, so the clothes won't get clean without it.

It's not yet time to escape the famine, but on the way to escape, Old Gu Six's father will start to become a sloppy dad.

What's so fragrant about it?

Just not stinking to death is considered good enough.

Old Gu Six didn't take a bath first, but when it was late at night, he went to the backyard blacksmith shop.

He sweated profusely in the blacksmith shop, working until dawn before coming out.

He returned to the house, carried two buckets of cold water to the backyard, and took a cold shower.

He looks thin when dressed, but has flesh when undressed, that's Old Gu Six for you.

Usually seen as thin and weak, who would have thought he had an eight-pack abs?

The muscles bulging on his arms, that vigorous strength, not the weak chicken look usually seen.

This is a lurking leopard.

After Old Gu Six finished showering, he used soap nuts to clean the clothes he changed out of and hung them in the blind spot.

After tidying up, he returned to the front yard. By then, it was already bright outside, and he cooked a pot of thick porridge.

Gu Chang'an got up, washed up in the space, and smelled the fragrance of the porridge.

She brought out a plate of pickles.

"Dad, you have to eat porridge with pickles."
