Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

"Your elder brother did bring back meat, but you can't eat it all in one meal. Don't you want to eat meat next time?" Li Xiuzhen said a little embarrassedly.

Lin Zhengguo shook his head, somewhat helplessly, "How many pounds of meat did the child bring back? More than ten pounds, right? You too, Xiaoze has the ability to bring home meat, so what's wrong with you letting the children eat well?"

"You mean I can't bear to give the children meat?" Li Xiuzhen's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very wronged. "Xiao Ze brought back so much meat, and I cooked it for one meal. What will we eat for the next meal?"

"Didn't you praise me for being thrifty before? If it weren't for me, the children would have starved to death long ago, right?"

Lin Ze was speechless after hearing this. He never thought there was anything wrong with this mother before.

If her original body had not died of starvation, Lin Ze would still think she was right even if she said these words now.

What a pity, Lin Ze felt it was not worth it for his original body to save food.

"Mom and Dad, I don't want to eat anymore. You guys eat."

After Lin Ze finished speaking, he turned and went into the inner bedroom.

"This kid? What is he doing?"

Li Xiuzhen stepped forward and wanted to call her son out, but was stopped by Lin Zhengguo.

"Didn't you ask him to go to his grandmother's house to deliver the meat?"

Lin Zhengguo smiled casually, "Maybe he was at his grandmother's house and had already eaten before coming back."

"You, Zhengguo, did you know that I asked Xiaoze to deliver the meat?" Li Xiuzhen pulled up her apron a little awkwardly.

"Yes, I know it without guessing." Lin Zhengguo nodded, then shook his head gently and sighed, "You are close to your mother's family. I have never opposed you, but you ignore your own children. Sooner or later, you will hurt the children's hearts."

"Zhengguo, you said I didn't care about my own children. All three of them are my own children. How could I not care about them?!" Li Xiuzhen immediately raised her voice, "I just want to feed them slowly. If they don't eat meat for a long time, they will get diarrhea if they eat too much oil..."

Lin Ze, who was in the inner room, heard this, locked the door with a click, and then entered the space.

There is only one piece of black soil left in his space now. After planting ginseng on the other piece, he can no longer grow anything else.

Twelve hours of daylight can also allow crops to mature.

[The rice seeds are ripe, should we pick them? 】

"pick."

[Congratulations to the host for picking 100 kilograms of rice. Would you like to process it? ]

“Processing.”

[Processing completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining 90 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of fine bran. ]

Lin Ze planted wheat on the empty black soil.

"Hey, what's the use of this fine bran?"

Lin Ze had never known grains in his two lives. He took out the fine bran from the space, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then licked a little with his tongue, and put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"It's edible. This fine bran is probably the husk of rice. It's ground very finely and is still edible."

Thinking of this, Lin Ze threw the bran into the corner of the warehouse.

Even if it is edible, Lin Ze would not choose to eat the bran. Aren’t there enough delicious things in the space?

In just a short while, Lin Ze felt hungry again, so he steamed a big pot of rice and two crabs for himself.

He only needs two kilograms of wine to get himself drunk.

Considering that this body was only fifteen years old, Lin Ze did not drink any alcohol. He fed himself with two bowls of rice and looked around to find that there was no one outside.

He came out of the space, opened the locked door, and lay down on the bed he slept on with Lin Hao.

Lin Ze didn't even take a shower and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, it’s the weekend.

"Brother, it's time to get up and eat!" Lin Hao shouted.

Lin Ze sat up from the bed abruptly, looked at his cheap little brother with a sallow face, and said helplessly, "Be gentler when you wake me up next time. If you keep making such a fuss, I'll beat you up."

"Hey, I get it, big brother."

Lin Hao scratched his head and said cautiously, "Brother, shall we go catch crabs today? They are so delicious."

Lin Ze said, "Let's see later."

Needless to say, breakfast was another sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge, but it looked much thicker than usual.

Lin Ze smiled, served himself a bowl, filled his stomach half full, picked up Lin Sisi, carried the backpack and went out.

The little tail Lin Hao hurriedly followed behind his big brother.

Li Xiuzhen called from behind Lin Ze, "Xiao Ze, take good care of your brothers and sisters."

Lin Ze didn't even turn his head, but just nodded.

He ran into Yan Bugui who was also going out. Looking at Yan Laokou who even counted the shredded radishes for his children, Lin Ze suddenly felt that Li Xiuzhen was not so stingy after all.

But he still felt a sense of depression in his chest, which lingered for a long time.

It is hard to say whether this feeling of depression is directed at this era or at the people of this era.

Lin Ze hugged little Lin Sisi and came to the meat bun shop at the corner of the street. He exchanged ten kilograms of food coupons for ten steaming hot meat buns before leaving.

"Gege, big bun!!!"

Lin Sisi's saliva flowed unconsciously, and her little hands flew towards the meat buns.

Lin Ze handed her one with a smile. The little girl took a bite but only bit off a little bit of the bun skin.

"Brother, I want to eat buns too!"

Nine-year-old Lin Hao was skinny and small, and he really needed to be taken good care of. Lin Ze handed him a bun.

Lin Hao took a big bite, wrapped it in his mouth and chewed the fragrant bun, and said with wide eyes, "Brother, what kind of noodles is this?! It smells so good, I have never eaten such a delicious bun before!"

"like?"

"Brother, my dear brother, I really like you so much."

Lin Ze smiled, "If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time."

Lin Ze ate two buns in a row and then put the remaining buns into his backpack.

He said he put it in the backpack, but actually he put it directly into the space warehouse. Time stood still in the space warehouse, so the buns were still hot when he took them out.

Lin Hao finished eating a whole big bun and asked contentedly: "Brother, where are we going?"

“To consume.”

Lin Ze held Lin Sisi in his arms, with a little tail named Lin Hao following behind him, and the three of them left Nanluoguxiang together.

Walking along the alley as usual, Lin Ze went along the Yu River all the way to the Gulou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

The salesperson here didn't know Lin Ze, and didn't take it seriously when he saw him carrying the older and younger ones.

"What do you want to buy, little brother?"

"Give me a pound of each of the delicious cakes you have here."

"Oh, and he's a big customer?"

The salesperson said this, but he was not particularly excited because there was no such thing as a base salary plus commission now.

After Lin Ze weighed the cakes, he took a piece of osmanthus cake from the paper bag and gave it to each of the two children.

"Ah, big pigeon, so good..." Lin Sisi took a big bite and felt extremely satisfied.

Lin Hao couldn't bear to eat it. He took a sip and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully. "Brother, this is just like a dream."
