Li Zhoule's illness was partly due to hunger. After eating some warm food and gnawing on a chicken head—leaving the chicken's backside for Li Yishu—Li Zhoule felt much better. The next morning, she was able to get out of bed. She made a porridge from the leftover rice noodles, meat tendons, and lettuce skins, and the two siblings filled their stomachs.
Li Yishu picked up a bamboo basket and decided to go out and try her luck. They couldn't rely on the food in the Immortal Jar; what if that was their only chance? Wouldn’t they end up hungry again?
"Be careful, Third Brother," Li Zhoule advised her brother with concern. If she were in good health, she would have gone with him.
"Sister, you're not fully recovered yet. You should rest in bed," Li Yishu waved her hand and stepped outside.
The village was very quiet. Most of the young men had been conscripted into the army, leaving only the elderly, children, and women behind. The women were all working in the fields at this time, and the elderly and children helped out with whatever they could manage, resulting in almost no one being around in the village. Li Yishu stood at the door for a moment, feeling the sun warm her body before heading northward.
The village where Li Yishu lived was remote and had a poor environment; there were no mountains or rivers nearby. The villagers couldn't rely on the land or water for sustenance. There was only a small grove of trees to the north of the village, which didn’t even have wild chickens or rabbits—just some wild vegetables and mushrooms. At this time of year, it was hard to find any wild vegetables or mushrooms at all. Li Yishu scoured the entire grove but only managed to dig up four or five wild vegetables, all of which were tough and unpalatable.
Meanwhile, Li Zhoule did not lie in bed resting; instead, she sat in the kitchen, her eyes fixed on the Porcelain Jar, eager to see how this Immortal Jar transported food. Eventually, her eyes grew tired, and as she closed them for a moment, something appeared inside the jar.
Silver and transparent like petals floated in the liquid, along with two or three large red dates. Li Zhoule didn't know what it was; she reached out a finger to dip into the juice and tasted it on her tongue—her eyes lit up as she realized it was sweet. She tore off a small petal and chewed it; it was soft and glutinous with a delightful flavor. Hurriedly, she poured the contents of the jar into a pot and added two ladles of water to cook it. Although adding water diluted the sweetness somewhat, it still tasted good—after all, could food from the Immortal Jar be poisonous?
It should be clear by now that this so-called silver transparent substance resembling petals was actually white fungus. Mom Han had made white fungus and jujube soup yesterday but hadn’t finished it at dinner; she saved it for today. Hanno discarded it under the pretext that eating leftover food wasn’t good, which benefited the Li siblings. Since Hanno mentioned opening a shop, he went looking for a storefront after breakfast. Mom Han cooked lunch herself; unlike Hanno's wastefulness, she didn’t throw away much food—just a few dried leaves and some radish peels. Thus, in another world, Li Zhoule only ended up with vegetable leaves and radish skins. She washed both items clean and boiled them with some water before sprinkling salt on top; paired with the jujube soup she had just made, lunch was sorted.
"Sister, I'm back."
Just as she finished preparing the dishes, Li Yishu returned home. Seeing Li Zhoule busy in the kitchen made her rush inside.
"Sister, why aren’t you resting in bed?"
Li Zhoule smiled as she patted her brother's outstretched arm: "I'm feeling much better now; I can get out of bed to work. You must be exhausted from being out all morning! I've already made lunch; hurry up and get ready to eat."
Li Yishu carefully observed Li Zhoule's complexion and noticed that it indeed looked much better than yesterday; she felt relieved.
"Sister, there's nothing to eat outside. I spent the whole morning and only picked a few wild vegetables."
Li Zhoule comforted her brother, "It's okay, the Immortal Jar has sent us food again. We can save the wild vegetables for dinner."
Li Yishu's eyes lit up at the mention of food, "Sister, what are we having today?"
Li Zhoule replied, "I don't know what it is, but it tastes pretty good. Hurry and wash your hands; let's eat now."
"Okay!" Li Yishu quickly fetched water to wash his hands and ran into the Hall.
Li Zhoule had already set the table. In the center was a bowl of boiled radish peels, and there were two bowls that seemed to be soup, containing jujubes and some transparent petal-like things that Li Zhoule didn't recognize.
"Li Yishu, I don't know what this petal-like thing is, but it tastes really good. Give it a try."
Li Yishu scooped up some silver fungus and took a bite, his eyes brightening. "It's sweet and delicious."
"If you like it, eat more; there's another bowl in the pot."
Li Yishu shook his head. "Sister should eat more. Eating well helps you recover faster."
Li Zhoule laughed, "I'm already feeling much better, and I have a small appetite. You should eat instead."
Li Yishu wanted to refuse again but was swayed by Li Zhoule's words, "Maybe tomorrow the Immortal Jar will have even better food." Finally, he finished the second bowl of silver fungus soup. For this child, silver fungus soup was truly a delicacy.
………………
Hanno had run around all day and finally got everything sorted at the shop. Dinner was still prepared by Mom Han, but after eating, Hanno adhered to the principle that leftover food should never be kept overnight and poured the remaining dishes into the Porcelain Jar.
After dinner, Hanno watched TV with his parents for a while, told them about the results of today's outing, and then went back to the room to turn on the computer. Hanno’s computer is a laptop she bought when she was working out of town. The configuration is not high, but it is very convenient to use. Hanno First went to QQ, scrolled to the friends and relatives column, and clicked on the names that must be read every day. Unfortunately, the name and avatar are both gray. Hanno silently looked at the name on it: Papaya. Give me Papaya and give me Qiongju in return. It's always good to be rewarded by a bandit! Give me peaches and give me Qiong Yao. It's always good to be rewarded by a bandit! Give me wood and plums, and give me Qiongjiu in return. It's always good to be rewarded by a bandit! This poem comes from "Wei Feng" in "Book of Songs". The person used this poem as his own note not only to express his love for himself, but also because the person's name is Wei Feng . "Wei Feng, where are you?" Hanno's eyes were filled with moisture. Wei Feng is Hanno’s boyfriend, and they dated when she was in college. However, Wei Feng is a soldier, so the two of them spend less time together and stay apart more. Especially after Wei Feng joined the special forces, he often went on missions. It was normal not to contact him for ten days and a month. But the relationship between the two people has not diminished, and they still love each other deeply. Three months ago, Wei Feng proposed to Hanno successfully. The two agreed to take a vacation to marry Hanno after Wei Feng went on another mission. However, Wei Feng never came back after this mission. Taking over Wei Feng's relics from Wei Feng's comrades, Hanno still doesn't believe that Wei Feng is dead. She stubbornly believed that Wei Feng was just missing and was waiting for Wei Feng’s return. Just... Hanno sighed, closed QQ, opened the document, and started typing. Hanno likes to read novels. After reading a lot, I got the idea of writing novels. Her writing is pretty good, her stories are interesting, and she has attracted some regular readers. She can earn several thousand dollars a month, which is not much, but it is enough for pocket money. "... Ji Xiaofu sneaked into the ancient tomb along the waterway, and her clothes were soaked with water. Fortunately, the pen and ink wrapped in the oil paper and the candles were not soaked in water. She searched for the candles one by one and finally found Wang The remains of Chongyang can be seen densely written with handwriting symbols on the roof, with four large characters written on the far right: "Nine Yin Manual" "There is a picture painted on the southwest corner of the roof, which is ancient. The map of the ancient tomb. Ji Xiaofu first carefully wrote down the map of the ancient tomb, and then looked at the four walls of the stone chamber. The four walls were also engraved with martial arts skills. On the east side was "********". The one in the west is "Dog Beating Stick Technique", the one in the south is "Toad Technique", and the one in the north is the understanding of Dugu Sword Technique. The four walls of the stone chamber in "Divine Condor" do not have these techniques. It should have happened when Yang Guo took Xiao Longnu away from the ancient tomb to live in seclusion in Baihua Valley. When he thought of Yang Guo's descendants, the Yellow-Clad Woman who appeared later in "Heavenly Sword" would return to ancient times at any time. I didn’t dare to delay too much, so I copied the "Nine Yin Manual" and quickly left the ancient tomb..." "Beep, beep", the qq prompt sounded, Hanno clicked on it and saw that it was his own editor Snow Vegetable. Snow Vegetable: 'Dear, the data in your book "Transmigration of Ji Xiaofu" is pretty good, I will get it the day after tomorrow. o(n_n)o' A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold.: 'Thank you. o(≧v≦)o' Snow Vegetable: 'You're welcome, that's what I should do. It's up to you, do you want to publish an announcement to join v? '
A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold.: 'You know I don't do this. I write books just because I like writing books and because readers love to read my books, not to make money. 'Snow Vegetable: 'OK, if you don't send it, you won't send it. You are simply a weirdo, you actually regard money as dirt! ' A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold.: 'I'm not that noble, but I'm not short of money now, and I'm not in the mood to spend money. ' Snow Vegetable: 'Your mood has not recovered yet? ' A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold.: 'Recovered early. You see I am in the mood to update the novel now. ╭n╮( ̄︶ ̄)╭n╮' Snow Vegetable: 'Forget it, just feel free to do it. I'm not a psychiatrist, so I can't help you much. ' A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold.: 'Thank you. You have helped me a lot. 'Snow Vegetable:'A rose flower.jpg. Then write a good article to repay me. ' A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold.: 'As you command, Your Majesty Queen. ' Turning off QQ, Hanno was no longer in the mood to write, so he walked to the kitchen and heated himself a glass of milk. While drinking milk, Hanno's eyes fell on the garbage bin. Hey, the leftovers inside were gone! ! ! Hanno is sure that her father and mother did not go out to take out the garbage tonight. Where did the leftovers in the trash go? Could it be that they encountered a supernatural event or that the trash can in their house looks simple on the outside, but is actually a time and space transmission device, just like the drawer in Doraemon's house? Hanno thought wildly.
