After Andrew left, the issue of food became Lawrence's primary concern, even more so than his own stone cabin.

Lawrence found Sariel, crouched down in front of the two and said, "Sariel, how much food do we have now?" ”

Sariel was sitting on the hillside grass basking in the sun.

Today's weather is exceptionally warm, and she is holding Sophia on her lap with one hand and a thin wooden strip in the other, and is plucking Sophia's ears.

Sariel said calmly, "What are you asking for?" There should be many more. ”

"I'm going to calculate the amount of food I have left, and then I'm going to work out the approximate amount of food that's been allocated based on the average food consumption over the past few days," Lawrence said. ”

Lawrence said solemnly: "A safe, reasonable allocation value. ”

Reasonable distribution can solve the food problem more safely, but these things are a little inexplicable for a village girl who has not received formal education.

"There's a lot more, enough to eat." Sariel gave an answer that matched her level of culture.

Even if Andrew is here, he can't give a specific number for this kind of thing.

Because no one will count this, everyone is saving to eat, and would rather eat than finish eating.

Most of the time there is not enough food to eat, so saving is the nature of ancient farmers, regardless of East and West.

Lawrence was very worried, because Andrew and Saril had always lived together in the past, and they were used to eating and drinking.

The frugality she showed was not at all frugal in the eyes of Lawrence, a city man who had lived a hard life for several years.

Ignorant!

Lawrence felt more and more that if he didn't calculate well, he was afraid that something would go wrong with the food problem.

When the snow really closes the mountain, where will the three of you and three dogs have the opportunity to go outside to find food?

Lawrence quickly stood up, "Sariel, I'm going to determine the weight of the grain!" ”

Saliel was plucking Sophia's ears and said without raising her head, "Whatever you want." ”

Lawrence quickly walked into the house.

Sophia lay on Sariel's lap and said curiously, "Sariel, aren't we going to take a look?" ”

Sariel didn't want to go, "It's okay, Lawrence isn't a troublemaker, he must have his own intelligence." ”

Although she didn't understand some of Lawrence's thoughts and actions, after a month of getting along, Sariel believed that Lawrence was not a bad person, let alone a stupid person.

Especially when it comes to eating, Lawrence never wastes food and eats clean every time.

Lawrence entered the house and looked near the barrels where the grain was stored.

"I don't know how many catties are so heavy, it seems that as Sophia said, it should be enough to eat."

Lawrence looked at the wooden barrel in front of him, which was one and a half meters high and had a radius of more than thirty centimeters, and began to weigh the grain in the barrel.

There are only two bags of flour at home, and in addition to the flour they get from Emma's family, Andrew and Sariel usually use a stone stick like a rolling pin to crush wheat to make flour, which is as easy as crushing peanuts.

The height of the grain in the bucket has dropped a lot, and it is still digging out a lot of height by putting a little hand in the bucket, so Saril and Sophia can't feel the speed of food consumption.

Lawrence was different, he had always measured the rate of food consumption in terms of at least one hundred and twenty days, and he was much more sensitive than Sariel.

Lawrence added vegetables from the cellar and pickled pickles and jerky, and soon came to a final conclusion after much calculation.

"Sariel, we have enough food for four people until next summer, but with the addition of the sled dogs, we will eat up our current stock before spring comes."

Sariel was a little curious as to how Lawrence figured it out.

"That's it, but don't worry, my father will bring back food when he comes back, so everyone can rest assured that they will have their stomachs full, don't worry about that."

Sariel's education from Andrew since she was a child was to eat well and live well.

Only by eating a full stomach can you not get sick easily, so as to survive the winter.

Lawrence knew from Sariel's attitude that the girl was well protected by Andrew and had never been hungry at all.

"Hmm." Lawrence finally gave up on persuasion and changed his words: "I'll check the trap tomorrow, and it's okay now, I'll teach you the new text." ”

Sophia and Saliel soon moved chairs and stools and began to be educated by their governess.

Wake up at six in the morning to walk the dog and go for a run.

When you come back, you will eat and rest, groom the sled dogs and take care of the kennel.

Classes began at 8 o'clock to teach the two girls about culture.

At nine o'clock, I went out to herd sheep, pigs, and chickens out for sports.

During this time, they tend to the livestock on the hillside, or rest and prepare lunch, put on a blanket and take a nap until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and then drive the livestock in to prepare dinner

I went to bed at six o'clock in the evening and was ready for bed.

In the winter, there is not much to do, except to collect as much forage as possible for the livestock and firewood for heating.

The daily study time is very free, and both girls are past the age of five or six, and their ability to accept the knowledge that five or six-year-old children want to learn is much higher than that of five or six-year-old children.

The lease of the three sled dogs was limited, but Lawrence did not rest on his laurels, but planned how to fill the gap of more than 400 catties of food.

Now it's not a person, and one or two squirrels won't help at all.

"Maybe you can go fishing?"

Lawrence remembered that there were several rivers nearby, and this was a deep mountain forest, and there should be a lot of fish in it.

Before making the plan, Lawrence asked Sariel.

"Sariel, are there a lot of fish in the nearby river?"

Sariel shook her head, "No. ”

Lawrence sighed, "That's a shame. ”

Sarriel looked at Lawrence unhappily, "Listen, it's not a pity at all, it's a good thing!" ”

"A river with few fish will not attract bears and beasts, and if the river is full of big fish, it will definitely be visited by bears!" ”

It sounded very reasonable, and Lawrence felt so helpless that he didn't know where to look for food for a while.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Sariel! Mr. Lawrence! Come out! These dogs are going to bite me!! ”

Sariel could hear Emma's voice and quickly walked out to open the door.

Approaching the door was Emma riding a domme sheep, and at this time the three big dogs were barking at the domme sheep and Emma with fierce faces.

The Dom Sheep was so scared that they wanted to run away, and Emma kept pulling the reins to keep the Dom Sheep from running away.

Lawrence quickly shouted, "Tim! Pulling! Tyr! Come back! ”

After hearing Lawrence's cry, the three sled dogs quickly abandoned the big sheep and the woman on the big sheep, and returned to Lawrence's side and stuck out their tongues to curry favor.

Emma breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got down from the sheep's back and shouted, "Mr. Lawrence, my child is getting hot, can you go and see him?" ”

Lawrence looked strange, his body was hot, he should be sick, what should he do if he is sick?

When Sariel heard this, she quickly ran to the sheepfold, "Lawrence, you ride Nala over!" ”

Nala is the name of another dom sheep, Andrew has two domes in his house, and Nala belongs to Saliel's mount.

Lawrence quickly argued, "I don't understand this! Why look for me? ”

Emma looked at Lawrence anxiously and begged, "Mr. Lawrence! Last time Sariel told me that you were cured of your fever after you had a fever! ”

Lawrence was stunned, he did have a cold after the last heavy rain, could it be that the last time Sariel and Andrew went down the mountain to buy something, he exaggerated what he did?

Lawrence remembered that every time Sariel chatted with Emma, she always bragged to Emma about how good she was.

Whether it's catching rats or fighting off eating water earlier, it's like that's the case every time, as if there's nothing else to talk about, and if you don't say something, you'll die!

Barbarians love to brag, both men and women.

Lawrence had to take the reins at Emma's pleading, and under the sincere gaze of Sariel, who had brought the sheep over.

"Okay, I'll take a look, but I don't promise I'll be able to save him."
