Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

But he still had things he needed to do, so Gu Yanzhou lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them.

Jiang Nan looked at the water in the pot and saw that it would take some time for it to boil.

Simply pick up a clean bowl next to you, scoop some flour from the cloth bag, add appropriate amount of water and finally add salt and stir it into a paste for later use.

I plan to boil some lard and make some pancakes with it.

It would be best if you add two eggs. The dough will be softer, more golden in color, and taste better.

It’s just that the conditions don’t allow it now. Jiang Nan shook his head regretfully.

But after a while, the water in the lard on the side had boiled away.

The pork fat made crackling sounds when it came into direct contact with the iron pan, and began to release fat, and an enticing aroma filled the air.

Jiang Nan stirred the pot from time to time.

A lot of lard had already seeped out of the pot. Without a spoon, Jiang Nan used a bowl to scoop the oil out of the pot little by little, and finally poured it into the oil can.

After doing this a few times, it felt like it was almost fried, with only the lard residue left that gave off a burnt aroma.

Taking the pot off the stove, Jiang Nan scooped out some of the lard residue from the pot, sprinkled some light salt on it, and stirred it evenly.

"Xiao Bei and Shuang'er, come here quickly. Take it and go eat with Gu Yanzhou." Jiang Nan said as he pinched a piece from the bowl and took a bite. The remaining fat in the lard exploded in his mouth, and with the seasoning of salt, it was crispy and delicious.

"You two eat it, I don't like these things," Gu Yanzhou looked at the two children's happy faces and refused with a smile.

Although conditions are not good now, he won't compete with the two children for food.

"Then we won't be polite!" Jiang Shuang was like a stealing kitten, holding the bowl and tasting this hard-earned delicacy with Jiang Bei.

"This kid," Jiang Nan laughed out loud when he saw Jiang Shuang's mischievous look.

This child has become much more cheerful recently than when she first came.

No longer as timid as before.

Jiang Nan fried a small piece of rapeseed with the lard residue and spread the batter that he had prepared long ago into a pancake.

What Jiang Nan didn't know was that when the lard was being boiled, the aroma wafted over and people in the village not far away had already started talking about it.

Everyone was talking about what delicious food Jiang Nan's family was eating.

"It smells like lard boiling."

"It smells like that to me. Today I saw them carrying two baskets of stuff."

"Come on, what other people eat has nothing to do with you," the village head couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.

These people have nothing to do every day and are just idle.

"Sister, this is the most delicious meal I have had in these days," Jiang Bei said happily, touching his round belly.

"Me too, me too," Jiang Shuang echoed.

"From now on, I will try my best to make sure you eat better every day."

The two children really need more nourishment. After spending these days together, Jiang Nan has long regarded these two children as his own relatives.

She will do her best to provide them with food and clothing.

"No need, sister. I'll be satisfied with just one meal," Jiang Shuang said quickly. If his sister had to eat every day, she would be so tired.

How much suffering will you have to endure.

He didn't want his sister to suffer, so he could choose not to eat these things.

"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon," Jiang Nan did not respond but urged.

At this time, Jiang Nan and Gu Yanzhou had different expressions. The two children were eating, and the faint firelight shone on everyone's face.

Jiang Nan, who exactly are you? You are just a little girl who fled from famine, but you know so much.

Gu Yanzhou fell into deep thought.

It was cloudy and rainy for the next few days with continuous drizzling rain.

The whole mountain was shrouded in fog, and Jiang Nan hadn't gone out for several days. Fortunately, he went to the county town last time and bought some food, so he didn't have to worry about food and drink for the time being.

The villagers in the village were not as lucky as Jiang Nan and his friends. Most of them did not have much food stored at home, and many of them were hungry.

Jiang Nan looked at the drizzle that had been going on for several days and felt extremely depressed.

She really couldn't hold it in these two days.

If God wants to rain rain, please do it in a good way. This kind of squeezing of beans is useless.

Jiang Nan was completely speechless.

When I turned around and was about to go back to the room, my eyes suddenly caught sight of the leaves on the ground.

An idea suddenly flashed through my mind, "Rainy days are of course the best time to play Landlord!"

Gu Yanzhou and Jiang Bei, one big and one small, could barely get together.

He did it as soon as he said it. It wasn't raining heavily outside, so Jiang Nan covered his head with his hands and ran towards the backyard.

"Sister, where are you going? Be careful not to catch a cold," Jiang Bei looked at Jiang Nan's carefree look and started to worry again.

"It's okay, I'll be back soon," Jiang Nan, who was drizzling, still had a clear idea in his mind.

There were many trees in the backyard, and Jiang Nan quickly picked up some usable leaves.

It had rained for several days in a row and the ground was very sticky, so Jiang Nan went into the house and put the leaves on the ground.

Clean the only pair of straw sandals you have.

"Why are you picking up so many leaves?" Gu Yanzhou asked in a puzzled tone, looking at the pile of leaves.

Going out just for this?

"You'll know when the time comes," Jiang Nan said mysteriously.

Jiang Nan washed the leaves and spread them out next to the fire to dry.

There are fifty-four cards in a deck of playing cards, and Jiang Nan tried his best to pick leaves of similar size.

Although it was autumn, the leaves had already turned slightly yellow, and Jiang Nan was picking up some poplar leaves.

Poplar leaves are not too big, not much bigger than modern playing cards, so they are quite suitable.

After completing the selection, Jiang Nan found a fire stick and started writing and drawing. In order to distinguish the red and the spade, Jiang Nan made an extra black dot under the spade to distinguish them.

By the time everything was done, it was already noon. Jiang Nan excitedly took the painted leaves and placed them in front of Gu Yanzhou.

"Look, this is a simple version of playing cards. How about using it to kill time? I'll tell you the rules."

Gu Yanzhou had no money, and she had already thought about how to have fun.

"No," Gu Yanzhou unexpectedly refused directly.

"Why? Aren't you bored just sitting there?"

Gu Yanzhou's reaction was different from what she expected! He was quite approachable when helping with work on weekdays, so why did he refuse directly?

"Someone told me that playing with things will lead to a loss of ambition." Gu Yanzhou's thoughts drifted away. He never touched these things.

"Hey, there must be something she hasn't said to you yet."

"How do you know?" Gu Yanzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Nan.

"As the saying goes, big gambling hurts the body, small gambling is good for the soul. Are we just killing time?"

"No," Gu Yanzhou refused again. What kind of nonsense is this?

Jiang Nan sat down next to Gu Yanzhou, and instantly became lifeless like a frost-bitten eggplant.

Without a cell phone, she normally can't sit still, and these past two days she has been really restless.

"Gu Yanzhou, can you just play with me for a while?" Jiang Nan pulled the corner of Gu Yanzhou's clothes and shook it gently, lowering his head with his eyes rolling around, thinking about how he could appear more pitiful.

"It's so boring," Gu Yanzhou turned his head to look at Jiang Nan.

"Yeah, it's true. It's more real than pearls," Jiang Nan looked up and said aggrievedly, revealing his true feelings without any trace of acting.

"Oh, alright!" Gu Yanzhou had never seen Jiang Nan look so aggrieved before, and his voice softened when he saw her like this.
