Yun the butcher looked at the road ahead, which was always blocked. "Wife, why don't we park next to it? It will probably take a while until the road ahead is cleared."

Zhang also leaned forward to look. "I'll listen to you, boss. Let's park the car in the woods beside the road."

Yun the Butcher and his crew quickly parked the car in the woods on the side of the road.

"Wife, pack your things first. I'll take the eldest brother and the others to collect some firewood, and you can go with the children to dig wild vegetables."

Zhang urged, "Okay, go quickly. I want to dig more wild vegetables today while it's still early."

So, Yun the butcher took the three brothers to collect firewood, while Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui helped with the work at home.

In the past two days, the mule and donkey at home have been eating the fresh grass that Yun the butcher cut early in the morning. Since eating the fresh grass, Yun the butcher feels that the mule and donkey's appetite has improved a lot.

Yun the butcher took the three brothers with him to not only collect firewood, but also to cut a few baskets of grass. Fortunately, grass was the most abundant thing on the mountain.

As soon as they came out of the woods, Yun the Butcher and his men began to cut grass. After cutting for more than half an hour, the baskets they brought were full. They carried the baskets back to deliver the fresh grass.

After pouring out the grass, Yun the butcher took the three brothers of the Yun family and went to collect firewood without stopping.

Zhang first added fresh grass and water to the mule and donkey at home. Of course, she would not forget the great contributor who laid eggs every day.

Zhang found a place with lots of grass, put some cornmeal and water on it, and then turned the basket upside down, and then she didn't have to worry about the hens anymore.

What Zhang was worried about was what to make delicious food for the children tonight.

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui set up the stove together. Now they were putting a large iron pot on it.

After the big iron pot was put in place, Yun Yiyi raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. In this weather, the slightest movement would make her sweat all over.

Zhang came over and said, "Yiyi, what delicious food do you think we should make tonight?"

Speaking of food, Yun Yiyi's eyes lit up, "Mom, how about you and my dad make dumplings tonight? We haven't eaten dumplings for a long time."

"Mom, dumplings are a little troublesome to make. Vegetable boxes are also OK. They are both delicious."

Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Yiyi, if I make dumplings, I won't be able to go out to dig wild vegetables in the afternoon. We have a large family and we need to make a lot of dumplings, which is quite time-consuming."

"If we make vegetable boxes, it will be much faster. Let me think about it. We still have some wild leeks that I saved at home, and the shepherd's purse from lunch, which can be used as stuffing."

Yun Yiyi looked at Zhang who was undecided and said, "Mom, let's make vegetable boxes. You can put black fungus in the leek and eggs as the filling."

"Shepherd's purse stuffing won't be tasty without meat, Mom, how about you cook a piece of bacon, chop it up and put it in?"

After listening to Yun Yiyi's words, Zhang thought that the cabbage boxes were also good.

"Okay, then you two can get some wood to start the fire. I'll go get some bacon."

After Zhang finished speaking, she went to get the bacon from the donkey cart. She brought a large piece of bacon in a basin.

After adding two large scoops of water into the big iron pot, Zhang secretly put the bacon into the pot.

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui started to light the fire. After a while, when the aroma from the pot was about to float out, Yun Yiyi lit a dried mint.

Although the mint was dried, once it was lit, the scent spread out and directly covered the smell of bacon in the pot.

Yun Yiyi stood up and looked at the official road outside. There were only a few scattered refugees moving forward on the official road.

Generally, the refugees who are still on the road at this time have no shortage of food or water. In order to speed up their journey, they usually rest after dark.

Most refugees in Yunjia Village, who are short of food and water, will take time to dig wild vegetables. It is always good to store more wild vegetables while the weather is hot.

The stove that Yun Yiyi built today was located behind the woods. Standing on the official road outside, one could not see what kind of meal Yun Yiyi was cooking.

The dining table where Zhang had placed her dinner was blocked by the mule carriage, so the refugees on the official road outside could not see it.

There is no way. I rested too early today. I can't not pay attention. After all, less trouble is worse than more trouble. Safety is still the first priority.

After the bacon had been cooking in the pot for more than half an hour, Yun Yiyi turned off the heat and let the bacon soak for a while longer.

At this moment, Yun Yiyi was using a ladle to add water to Zhang's basin. Zhang had cooked a large basin of noodles today.

Thinking that flour is eaten up quickly, Zhang added a small amount of corn flour into the dough today.

Zhang was an old hand at cooking in the kitchen. She quickly kneaded a large dough, put it in a bowl, covered it with a clean cloth, and let the dough rise slowly.

Then, Zhang found the wild leeks, washed them and put them in a basket to dry. Shepherd's purse was also washed, placed in a basket, and dried for later use.

Zhang then took two handfuls of dried black fungus and soaked them in water. She also took out six eggs. Originally, Zhang took out five eggs, but then she made up her mind and took out one more.

Zhang took out the small stove and the small iron pot that Yun the butcher had bought earlier.

Yesterday, Yun the butcher had already opened the small iron pot, so the small iron pot can be used today after it is cleaned.

Zhang said in a low voice, "Yiyi, light the stove. I'm going to fry eggs in a small iron pan."

"I understand, Mom." Yun Yiyi said softly, then came over with firewood and started to light the fire.

Zhang cleaned the small iron pot and placed it on the small stove.

Seeing that the small iron pot was hot, Zhang put two tablespoons of lard in. When the lard melted, Zhang poured the beaten eggs into the iron pot.

Soon, the fragrant smell of eggs spread. Fortunately, Yun Yiyi ordered mint in advance. Yun Yiyi secretly gave herself a thumbs up. A doll with foresight.

Zhang used a spatula to stir the eggs in the pan.

"Mom, the eggs smell so good. And I found that the small iron pot is perfect to put on the stove."

"I use firewood to make a strong fire, and the small iron pot heats up quickly. It is very convenient to use."

Zhang also looked at the small iron pot happily, "Yes, when I opened the pot yesterday, I found that the small stove your father bought is very useful."

"Then let's store more firewood before it gets cold. Then mother can cook in the mule cart."

"Yes, I will definitely remind your father when the time comes." Zhang said as she served the fried eggs.

Zhang directly filled the small iron pot with half a pot of water, then covered it with a lid, and then asked Yun Yiyi to continue to light the fire.

"Yiyi, use the small iron pot to make some shepherd's purse soup. Although the small iron pot is a bit small, one bowl per person is still fine."

Yun Yiyi looked at the small iron pot, her eyes shining, "Mom, when we have more time, we can use the small iron pot to cook hot pot vegetables. Especially when the weather is cold, it must be wonderful to eat hot pot vegetables."
