Chapter 47 Li Zuohang's family

Li Zuohang is about 30 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, in this era is considered tall, but the back is a little rickety, most of the farmers in this era are like this, the burden of life makes their backbones not straight, the dark face is full of wrinkles, at first glance looks like an old man in his 50s, two eight-character eyebrows make him always show a bitter look. But now, the bitter gourd had a smile on his face. The family gathered around a fire in their hut, and the contents buried under the fire were emitting an enticing aroma. "Dad, it's ripe." The little daughter, who was in a hurry, went to pull a fire with a twig and was stopped by her brother, a boy of fifteen or sixteen. "Don't worry, wait a little longer to get it done." My brother muttered. The little girl pouted, but obediently stopped, her eyes fixed on the fire for a moment. His wife was weaving straw sandals, and these days the father and son were working so hard that the shoes were so expensive that they had to break up and add some rattan grass to re-weave them. Li Zuohang didn't make a sound, just looked at them with a smile, but the corners of his eyes were inexplicably a little sour.

The family fled from Yanchuan County, east of Ansai. It is next to Shanxi, and although the drought is slightly stronger than Anse, it is also limited. Li Zuohang's family stood up until July, and could no longer support it, seeing that not fleeing was the end of the whole family starving to death, he also gritted his teeth, took all his belongings, picked up the last bit of food, and led the whole family to start a journey of escape with the rest of the village. In previous years, the famine was to Shanxi, but this year I heard that there was also a disaster, and it was impossible to go, so I had to go to Yanchuan County to beg, but there were many people, and where were there so many people to give alms, fortunately, the government and gentry worked together to build a porridge shed, and the victims were able to barely continue their lives, but they did not want to follow the disaster more and more, the porridge shed changed from two bowls of porridge per person per day to a bowl of porridge, and finally became thinner and thinner, like clear water. Seeing that it was not a problem, there was a companion who secretly told them, the grain depot in Yanchuan County was also empty, and there were more and more victims, and this porridge shed was about to stop! He also said that there were rumors in the county town that Ansai County next door was still running a porridge shack, and the displaced people from several surrounding counties were pouring there, afraid that there would be less than 10,000 people, and not a single one would starve to death!

Although there are some doubts about the normal supply of disaster relief food in Ansai County, which is not as good as his own in normal times, there is no other way, staying is a death, while there is still a little food on his body, Li Zuohang and the army of victims embarked on the road to the west. On the third day, his old mother refused to eat any more, and went after a few days of hunger, hoping to save her rations for her children and grandchildren. The family buried the old man, wept a lot and continued on their way. Along the way, they tried to keep up with the big team and get together with their fellow villagers, for fear of encountering gangsters. It's not uncommon to hear people get separated from a large group and never see them again. But when they had already arrived in Ansai, their whole family was still coerced by Gao Yingxiang along with thousands of victims. Then there was a rush of confusion, and the ranks of tens of thousands of people collapsed, and they ran all over the mountains, and many of the murderers who coerced them lost their heads, and some of them ran away, and they became prisoners along with many of the homeless.

After hearing about the miserable situation of many captives, Li Zuohang no longer has any hope for his fate, and his only hope is that his wife and children can survive, but this is not up to him. Just when he was on the verge of despair, unexpectedly, the family was placed in the current makeshift camp. Not only was it not disassembled, but like the victims who had fled before, each person could receive two bowls of life-saving porridge a day. I heard that this porridge was donated by a local historian named Wu Wei, although he couldn't eat enough, but after all, he couldn't starve to death, and the legend was true! In this year, this kind of treatment has exceeded his best expectations, and he can't ask for more, but unexpectedly, his son was selected by the master of the history to participate in the drilling team, and he can receive a piece of dry food every day! This dry food is unusual, like flour and sugar fried in oil, the taste is fragrant and sweet, but it is too hard, and a small piece weighs half a catty. It's good to be hard, he thought happily, one piece is enough for a family of four to chew for a day!

That Wu Dian history, everyone has a legend that the stars in the sky came down to save themselves mortals, otherwise how could there be so many wonderful ideas. Not to mention the drilling team that my son participated in, isn't it a magic weapon that the drilling rig can drill several sweet wells a day? Later, tens of thousands of acres of potato seedlings were introduced, oh, it is something buried under the fire in front of me, Wu Dianshi called it a potato, but everyone called it a fairy potato. This thing can't be digested raw, but it tastes really good when cooked, fragrant and glutinous, and has a sweet taste. What's more, it's really hungry!

Master Dian Shi also tried to pump the water of the Yan River to the high ground, so that a large area of dry land became irrigated land! God, this is something that my ancestors have never seen. The county government sent people to organize their own people to build water conservancy and plough the fields, the work is very tiring, but they can also change a piece of dry food a day, and the family's livelihood is more prosperous. Although the food was already relatively abundant, he still did not let everyone have enough to eat, but carefully accumulated a part of the grain every day, God knows how long this drought will last, even if he returns to his hometown, he must also prepare food on the way!

But soon this scruple was dispelled, and the fairy potatoes in the field were harvested, and it is said that one acre of land was about to harvest 6,000 catties! What's even more rare is that a notice was posted in the county, announcing that all the victims would receive 50 catties of fairy potatoes per person, the wife could receive 30 catties, and his daughter was still young and could only receive 20 catties, but his son had already been counted as a ding, and he received 50 catties like himself, and after all, the whole family of four people could receive 150 catties of rations!

That's not all, Wu Dianshi also taught himself how these people eat immortal potatoes, or dry and grind them into flour, just like flour, which can be made into steamed buns and nests, or they can be cut into slices and dried after cooking, and they become dry food that can be put away for a long time. And now I eat this way, or roast or bury it in the fire, the taste is top-notch, and the children like it the most! However, due to the large number of people affected by the disaster, it has become increasingly difficult to find firewood for fires, and it is often necessary to walk a long way to find it. Therefore, lighting a fire and burning potatoes like today can only be a luxury, in order to satisfy the strong desire of the youngest daughter, only occasionally, they usually hand it over to the camp management personnel to deal with it for free, and they can make flour or dry food for themselves, and they can also meet the requirements of steaming or boiling, they call this welfare, it is the treatment that only those who work hard, and there are two people in their own family who work, so they can enjoy this treatment. And they didn't use firewood to process the potatoes on their behalf, but instead used a black, slimy liquid called petroleum to make a fire. But this thing is good, but the smoke is too heavy to be used for heating or barbecue food, otherwise it is suitable to take some at home.

While she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard the little daughter cry for joy, and when she looked around, she saw that she had picked up the fire with a branch, and rolled out a few potatoes from the middle, and she looked at them with a look of anticipation and fear of burning. At this time, the boy wrapped a potato in a rag and picked it up, and the two of them blew on it together to cool it slightly, and then the young man peeled the potato skin, revealing the inner flesh inside, and suddenly a rich sweet fragrance spread in the air. "Give it to me, give it to me." The youngest daughter eagerly took it, grinning and blowing as her mother and brother looked at her with a smile.

This qiē is all thanks to the blessing of the master of the classics, Li Zuohang thought sincerely.
