Chapter 18 Invitation

In addition to external factors, the rise and fall of a dynasty is also caused by internal problems.

Listening to Mei Youqian speaking out his original memory, Mei Pei secretly felt that she had "run out of energy" for Dachengzhen.

"No wonder...the author writes that it will be like that in the later period..."

"What kind?"

Looking at Meiberry, who was holding a bowl of water and drinking water, talking to herself in a daze, the couple got closer and immediately became energetic.

Wearing books, doesn’t that compare to predicting the future?

"Well...the world will be in chaos later on, and there will be a war."

After finishing speaking, Mei Bei looked up at her parents and said, "So I have always insisted that our house should be repaired, and we don't need to spend money to knock it down and build a brick house. The earth house is quite good, but building it is a waste...

…”

"Oh my God, this information..."

This information was really exciting for Mei Youqian and his wife.

"You kid, didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

At this time, Mei Youqian and his wife were also anxious, as if there would be chaos tomorrow, and even their breathing became a little faster.

Mei Bei is also very innocent. The family has only been together for less than three days, and their lives are extremely "fulfilling" every day. Sometimes she really can't remember them.

"How long until the war starts?"

"I don't know..." Mayberry shook her head. She really didn't finish reading the rest of it. "But I think we should focus on the natural disasters before the war."

"When will there be a natural disaster?"

"I don't know, but the latest major disaster will be next year's flood." After Meiberry said, after hearing that they still had a year to prepare, the couple didn't know whether to say that this world is long or short.

"We really have no way of knowing what happens next?"

Mei Youqian still wanted to know more details.

If there is a flood next year, will there be a war after the flood?

What level of flood is that?

"The system said that you can read the full text for 5,000 taels."

"Why doesn't it grab it?!"

When they heard that the system asked for 5,000 taels, the couple showed the same shocked expressions that Mayberry had when she first learned the news.

"Oh my god, this is such a shitty day!"

Mei Youqian was still there when he was cleaning the vegetable field in the back. He felt that being a farmer would not be too satisfying, but when he turned around, his daughter gave him such a critical blow_(:3」∠)_

Mayberry couldn't help but shake her head when she said it herself.

Although she has never experienced this, she has watched some historical TV series.

In the era of war and chaos, the people at the bottom were displaced, like duckweeds without roots and no one to rely on.

I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.

If there were no check-in tasks, according to Mei Berry, their family would have made crazy money in the early stage, then stocked up on materials and found a Feng Shui treasure land, and waited for a few years to wait for the limelight to pass before coming out.

It's a pity that their family is now living in poverty.

If you want to survive, just having money and supplies is still not enough.

They also need to be protected by the heroine's halo.

They are going to be important characters in this novel!

“First of all, eat well, drink well and exercise well;

Secondly, build a good relationship with the heroine’s family, take advantage of the highlight scenes, and check in the main plot if you can, and if not, create it yourself;

Also, stock up on supplies and save money.”

As she spoke, Meiberry raised her finger, looked at the serious faces of her parents, and said word by word, "This is our family's first one-year plan."

After the plan was finalized, the family of three started their busy day non-stop.

Mei Youqian has been thinking about the house since he came back from town yesterday. Now combined with his daughter, they went directly to Mei Sanma.

"Second brother, if you want to repair the house, of course I will help. The wages... are from my family, so I won't use them."

As soon as Mei Sanma heard that Mei Youqian came to discuss repairing the house with him, he immediately agreed, but he had objections when Mei Youqian said that he should pay for the work.

"Thanks to my second brother for helping me these days, I don't have much ability to repay you. I only have this strength. If you need me, second brother, just say hello."

"How can it be done?"

"It's just an adobe house. Second brother really doesn't need it... Sanya still needs to see a doctor. If you can save money, save money. Even if you don't take medicine now, it still costs money to take care of her carefully..."

Sure enough, Mei Laosan heard what his family said in Jishi Hall yesterday, but he was surprised that Mei Sanma had no intention of saying anything more about it.

"Well, of course. But... if you don't accept the money, we will cover the food and repairs during this period. You can take your wife and children back to my house for dinner today at noon!"

"no, I'm fine!"

"Oh, just use it if I tell you to!"

"No, second brother, you don't spend the money like this..." I don't know how much money Mei Youqian has in his hands, but they spent a lot of money on their own home just yesterday, and they have to repair the house later, so they should save as much as they can!

"Okay, okay, didn't you say you would help me repair the house? Come on, come to my house and take a look at this house. Help me figure out what to prepare. When the time comes, I can find someone to repair the house quickly."

Seeing Mei Sanma looking more confused than himself, Mei Youqian took his arm and walked home, directly interrupting his confusion.

Along the way, he kept saying: "Your sister-in-law is a very good cook. She couldn't do it even when we lived together in the past. Now I will let you open your eyes!"

***

Mei Bei is digging bamboo shoots with her mother in the bamboo forest behind the house. The bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest are fat, tender and thick, and the number is quite impressive.

The key is that this thing is still in season. There are so many bamboo shoots that look the same every day. In a few days, they may be too old to be eaten.

So many bamboo shoots are just vegetables. Regarding the situation that Mei Li mentioned in a year's time, Wei Meimei dug the bamboo shoots harder and harder.

The fresh bamboo shoots can be stewed in soups or stir-fried. If there are too many to eat, they can be made into sour bamboo shoots or dried bamboo shoots for storage, which will last longer.

Especially dried bamboo shoots and steamed bacon, the idea came to mind. Wei Meili had already decided what she was going to do this winter.

Make bacon!

"Bamboo shoots like this, which are only as thick as a baby's arm, are most delicious if they are dug out, peeled and braised in oil directly. However, some waste oil cannot be eaten in large quantities, and the soy sauce bought here is not as good as that of later generations. It is best to cook it directly.

I think it's a bit wasted.

Why don't you cut them into shreds and make soup? It's light and delicious, and didn't mom buy a lot of duck eggs on the street yesterday? I took two and put them in the bamboo shoot soup at noon!"

"Everything is fine, mom, everything you cook is delicious!"

Meiberry squatted there and listened to what her mother said about lunch, and her movements of breaking off the bamboo shoots were also biased towards the tender bamboo shoots.

Fat Tiger, who had Meiberry stuck to the side, had no idea where he was interested in the bamboo shoots. He gnawed and scratched them, and finally gave Meiberry an incomplete bamboo shoot in his mouth.

"Meow~"

Not knowing what was going on, Mei Berry suddenly felt that Fat Hu meant to let her have a taste.

It was just that Mei Bei didn't move the bamboo shoot, but Fat Hu, who realized Mei Bei's hesitation, stared at her more and more unkindly.

Fat Tiger: Shovelling, what's wrong with you? I'll bite you!

"Okay~ I'll eat..."

After being stared at by Fat Tiger, Meiberry finally reached out silently and folded off the lower half of the bamboo shoot, which was still intact, and tried to put it in his mouth and chew it.

Mayberry's eyes lit up in the next second.

A stream of sweet juice with the fragrance of bamboo instantly penetrated the throat.

"I'll go, it's so tender..."

Although it is not as sweet as sugar cane, the tender bamboo shoots are so sweet and crunchy that they can be swallowed directly. Mei Berry feels that she can eat more!

Fat Tiger looked at Meiberry's movements and expressions, and swung his furry tail back and forth happily. After meowing twice, he ran to another place to continue breaking bamboo shoots and feeding Meiberry.

Looking at the other person's movements, Mei Berry felt as if she was being taken care of by a cat.

Meiberry, who was disgusted with it yesterday, couldn't help but say in her heart, "It smells so good!"

"Oh, by the way~ There are also those shepherd's purses that your dad cleared out in the morning. The pork I bought yesterday was just perfect for making dumplings!"

"Ah? Mom, is it too much to do so much at once?"

Listening to her mother still talking about what to eat for lunch, Mei Mei subconsciously felt that her mother had done too much.

Their family had pork rib soup last night, and this morning Wei Meili also used the remaining pork rib soup to make a pot of hand-made noodles. To be honest, Mei Bei is not hungry yet, and she can't imagine having lunch later.

You have to eat so much.

"What's more? Your dad's appetite is like a rice bucket. How can he just make soup and cook rice? He drank so much soup yesterday and ate most of the noodles in the morning. Your dad will eat it once he starts working.
