Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Liu Caixia talked to her father for a while before she remembered to ask, "Dad, did you have lunch? I bought some buns and pancakes."

"We ate at the house we stayed at. We paid for the food. It was just rice with mixed grains and stir-fried radish and cabbage. But it was okay. After all, it was Chinese New Year. Some people raised pigs, and every household would buy some pork to make bacon.

Boil some pork and add a little to stir-fry to give it an oily texture. Xiaoqu also secretly gave us some extra food, don't worry.

You can keep those things, they can last for two days. There are many people working this time, so the work that would take ten days to complete can probably be completed in eight days.

You don't have to worry about us here, just open the shop in the city first, and come back when you have time."

"Okay, I'll open the shop first, and come back later when I have time. If you have anything, come to the city to find me. The shop is at the intersection in the middle of the main street."

"I understand. It's okay, just go."

The things were almost the same, and Liu Caixia also had a general understanding of the situation here. After she returned, in addition to opening the shop, she could also calculate what else Liu Xiaolu had, such as the seeds that had been stored before.

Everything can be planned now, how to use the depression and what to do with the hill behind.

You need to think carefully about what crops to grow at home, whether you want to raise chickens, ducks, geese or pigs.

When Liu Caixia has nothing to do, she likes to read novels. She reads all kinds of popular novels, such as novels about domineering CEOs and novels about time travel and farming.

On the way back to the city, she kept thinking about what else she could learn from and use to make money. To make food or things to use, there were only a few ways to open these workshops. His father was definitely going to vigorously develop agriculture, so she just had to think about what she could do.

The group returned to the city even slower, mainly because the little girl Li Wan'er had to walk for such a long time on her own, and was definitely a drag. It was only with the help of Old Lady Li and Li Yao that they were able to do so.

The little girl was still very tired, and her body was a little weak due to lack of nutrition. It was already very good that she could hold on for so long. She followed her brother and grandmother silently on the journey without crying or making a fuss.

When her grandmother and brother carried her on their backs, she would comfort them with concern. Liu Caixia felt very distressed when she saw this. Her physical condition was better, so she couldn't help but carry her for a while. However, Grandma Li and Li Yao insisted that she should not help more.

When entering the city, Liu Caixia saw some farmers carrying loads on their shoulders, some of which contained radishes, cabbages, leeks, onions and so on.

It's the slack season for farmers recently, and more people are coming to the city to sell vegetables. In winter, everyone grows a lot of seasonal vegetables in their private plots and idle fields. Maybe because everyone is growing them, the quantity is too large.

Many people have not sold all their goods, so they can only take them home. It is impossible to throw them away as these things can fill their stomachs.

Liu Caixia bought all the leftovers from these people. The radishes and cabbages that could not be eaten were used to make pickles, such as spicy cabbage and pickled radishes. Her cooking skills were quite good, so she put the pickles in the shop to see if they could be sold.

So, she spent very little money to buy a bunch of cabbage and radishes, and finally asked an old man to help her carry the things back home after she bought his radishes.

After having some food in the evening, the two adults, along with two teenage children and a five-year-old child, started washing radishes and cabbages in the yard.

Use the existing wooden racks and tables at home to dry the cleaned radishes and cabbages. They should be dried overnight and can be pickled tomorrow morning.

After preparing two large baskets of radishes and cabbages, everyone was exhausted.

"Okay, everyone go to bed early."

Liu Caixia sleeps with Liu Xiaolu, while old lady Li sleeps with Li Wan'er and Li Yao. Li Yao sleeps with them for the time being. It is reasonable for him to sleep with his grandmother at his age.

It's no longer possible when you're a little older. After all, life is stable now, unlike when you were fleeing famine. When you were fleeing famine, men and women didn't have these taboos.

The next morning, Mrs. Li got up before daybreak. This was a habit she had developed during this period. Getting up early was good even if it meant going to the mountains to collect firewood and wild vegetables. The later it got, the more people there were, and the greater the competition.

Old Mrs. Li cooked some multi-grain porridge in the pot at home. The grains were all bought by Liu Caixia when she came back with Old Mrs. Li.

When Liu Caixia heard the noise, she stretched, got dressed and got up.

Although I went to bed late yesterday, looking at the time it was okay. A little after ten o'clock in modern times is considered early to go to bed. I slept until a little after six in the morning and got up. Although it was still dark, I felt quite energetic.

Influenced by Liu Caixia, Liu Xiaolu couldn't sleep and got up too.

When I arrived at the kitchen, Li Yao and Li Wan'er were already sitting there helping to watch the fire.

Old Mrs. Li was stirring the porridge in the pot with a spoon.

When he saw the visitor, he took the initiative to greet her: "Madam, the porridge will be ready soon. There is hot water here so you can wipe your face first."

"Okay, thanks, auntie."

"You're welcome. That's what we should do."

The water in the wooden basin is no longer that hot, so it's just right for washing your face.

Liu Caixia didn't want to take out a toothbrush to brush her teeth in front of so many people, so she and Liu Xiaolu washed their faces quickly and sat at a table nearby.

"Aunt, we had some steamed buns yesterday, heat some up and have them with the porridge."

"I'll heat it up for you. We can just have porridge. Eating three meals a day with you is already very satisfying. You can save the fine grains for you and Xiaolu."

"Aunt, this is too formal. Since you live with us, you are a family. Besides, you didn't sell your bodies to my family. Even if you did, we would still treat you equally, especially when it comes to food.

Besides, the children are growing up, so we can’t mistreat them, don’t we? Let’s heat up a few more, just make sure there’s one for each child.”

After listening to what Liu Caixia said, Mrs. Li's expression relaxed a lot. She looked at her two grandsons, turned around, took out three white flour steamed buns from a cloth bag and put them in the steamer nearby.

After breakfast, Liu Caixia prepared to make kimchi and pickled radishes.

There are peppers here, and the Jerusalem artichokes that I collected before are also available. I just need to go out and buy some garlic. She has seen it in the seed shop before. It is the kind that she grows herself. It is not as big as modern garlic. Each one is smaller. It is also good for pickling kimchi. The garlic flavor is stronger than the modern modified garlic.

Li Yao was asked to run errands for this matter. He bought some chili peppers and garlic. As for ginger, there was still a lot of it, so he used it first. It would be even better if there were some Sichuan peppercorns.

Liu Caixia thought about it and decided to go there herself to buy garlic and ginger first. It seems that peppercorns were used as medicine in ancient times, so maybe she could buy them at a pharmacy.

Since she was going to the pharmacy, she thought of spices such as five-spice powder, star anise and dried tangerine peel. Many spices can only be bought in the pharmacy.

Grab some marinade ingredients and some meat and try making braised meat.

It would be nice if that small shop sold braised meat, as it would be more convenient than selling other food.

Moreover, the marinades at that time were definitely not as complete as those of today. Modern marinades have all undergone repeated baptisms and transformations of history.
