Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Seeing Lu You walking towards the kitchen, Lu Ming was slightly stunned, and then as if he thought of something, he directly poured the last bit of rice porridge left in the bowl into his mouth.

"Second sister is going to be cooked!"

As he spoke, Lu Ming ran into the kitchen happily.

This is not to say that Luming is so smart, but it's such a hot day and the pork cannot be kept.

Almost as soon as he saw the big piece of pork last night, Lu Ming started thinking about it.

Lifting the lid of the rice jar, Lu You took out the piece of fat wrapped in butter paper.

Gulu...

Lu Ming was staring at the piece of pork behind him and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Second sister...you bought too much!"

"There's so much pork, can we finish it all..."

Lu You placed the white meat on the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife, and carefully cut off the little bit of lean meat on the side and put it aside.

"These are the lean meats we want to eat. As for the white meats, they are not for eating, but for making oil!"

Oil refining...

Looking at his second sister who was constantly cutting into the white meat, Lu Ming was completely stunned.

lard!

That is a luxury item that only the wealthy families in the city can afford!

For ordinary families like them, unless they are lucky enough to catch a rabbit or other wild game, they will not see any meat unless it is a festival.

This was because with the ten acres of school land, plus the money from copying books and selling firewood, their family's income was relatively comfortable.

But even so, every time he went into the city to buy meat, Lu Dejin could only weigh half a pound at most. He would go home and stew it with other vegetables, and each person would eat a few slices to satisfy their cravings.

Now my second sister actually used such a big piece of pork to make oil!

Isn’t this the way life is?

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Help me light a fire!"

After Lu You cut two pounds of pork, he saw that Lu Ming was still motionless and couldn't help but turn around and say.

Lu Ming came to his senses, agreed, and walked to the corner of the kitchen to take out a handful of dried Artemisia annua.

This kind of wild grass is very common in the mountains and fields. Because the fine hairs on its back are as easy to ignite as cotton, it has become the main material for people to make fire and is also called fire grass.

"Second sister, are we going to light a fire now?"

"pregnancy!"

Lu You said affirmatively.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming did not delay. He piled a few pieces of dry firewood under the stove, put a lot of chopped dry branches on top, and then picked up the flint and steel beside him.

clack clack...

As the flint and steel collided, a few tiny sparks fell on the fireweed. Lu Ming hurriedly and carefully rolled up the sparks and blew them gently.

As the smoke grew thicker, Lu Ming blew harder and harder, and a small flame finally broke through the smoke and ignited.

During the whole process, Lu You just stood by and watched intently.

To be honest, even though we have experienced the technological boom of the 21st century, when I see Lu Ming's operations, I still can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.

amount……

It may not be accurate to say that it was in ancient times, after all, this is a different world.

But with just a flint, a piece of broken iron and some dry grass, you can start a fire so easily.

This technique alone was enough to make Lu You marvel.

"Second sister, the fire is on!" As the dry branches in the stove crackled, the dry wood below was completely ignited.

Hearing Lu Ming's reminder, Lu You picked up the pork with a kitchen knife and pushed it into the pot.

Zila...

As the thumb-sized pieces of cut white meat touched the iron pan, a crisp sound was made.

Lu Ming stood up and looked into the pot, as if he wanted to crawl into it.

On the side, Lu You picked up the spatula.

"Look!"

"From today on, the three of us sisters will eat stir-fried dishes for every meal and eat meat every day!"

"Second sister must take care of you and take care of your health!"

…………

In the yard, the three siblings sat around the table, staring at the large porcelain bowl in the middle.

"Second sister, this thing seems to be a little different from what was rumored..." Lu Yi frowned and said uncertainly.

"Something is wrong..." Lu You answered casually, then turned to look at the kitchen that was still emitting a faint black smoke: "But what went wrong... Did I not control the heat well?"

"You can't blame me for this! I just did what you told me to do!"

Hearing that his second sister wanted to shirk responsibility, Lu Ming hurriedly explained, but while speaking, his eyes were still fixed on the large porcelain bowl in the middle.

"Second sister, do you think this black meat is edible?"

You want to eat all this?

Lu You looked at Lu Ming in surprise, and was extremely shocked to see that the other party was swallowing his saliva.

But then I remembered that the 'coke' in the plate was made from about two kilograms of white meat, and I really couldn't bear to throw it away.

"How about...you two try it?"

"Okay! I'll go get the chopsticks!" Lu Ming said as he stood up and rushed into the kitchen that was still emitting black smoke.

Lu Yi, who was standing next to him, looked at Lu You indifferently.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +50, +50, +50...]

cough cough...

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Lu You turned his head away feeling somewhat guilty.

For the first time, she felt that her brother's negative emotions were not so incomprehensible.

"Xiao Yi! Here are the chopsticks!"

Lu Ming came back and handed the chopsticks to Lu Yi. Just as he was about to pick up the "charcoal" to taste, he heard a soft call from the door.

"Why aren't you three sisters reading in broad daylight?"

Lu You turned his head and saw a thin woman in cloth clothes walking towards the door holding a large coarse porcelain bowl.

It was the original body’s third aunt: Feng.

"Aunt San, you are here!!"

Seeing the person coming, Lu Yi stood up, walked forward and said respectfully.

Lu You also stood up to greet them, but Lu Ming was a beat slower. In the end, he reluctantly put down the chopsticks that were holding the "charcoal" and followed the two of them to greet them.

"Third Aunt."

Lu You came forward and greeted him.

Looking at the three sisters who bowed respectfully to her, Feng chuckled.

"Quickly stop being polite. We are just farmers, not some wealthy family. Why do we need to go through all this nonsense?"

As she spoke, Feng walked into the yard and placed the large coarse porcelain bowl in her hand on the table.

"What are you doing?"

Feng looked at the bowl of "charcoal" on the table, then looked at the kitchen which was still emitting a faint black smoke, and looked at Lu You and the other two with a puzzled look on her face.

"To answer Third Aunt's question, Second Sister is refining oil for us!" Lu Ming stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Refine oil?" Feng glanced at the coke on the plate and laughed: "Have you three read so much that your brains have become stupid? Refining oil requires white meat..."

"This is white meat!" Lu Yi said lightly.

The laughter stopped abruptly. Feng stared at the coke on the table with wide eyes. Then, as if she thought of something, she ran straight to the kitchen.

[Negative emotions from Feng +30, +30, +30...]

Hearing the prompt sound in his mind, Lu You looked towards the kitchen in confusion, but heard Feng's high-pitched shout suddenly coming from it!

"You wasteful bastards! Who taught you to waste things like this?"
