Chapter 227 Radish Seedlings
The two began searching from the first shop at the edge, and found that the lock at the door had been broken from the outside.
The two doors were half-open, and there was a lot of snow on the ground inside.
Lu Qingqing pushed open the door and saw that the tables, chairs and benches in the room were thrown all over the place.
Judging from the broken teapots and tea bowls on the ground, I guess this shop must have been a teahouse before.
The two of them went into the store and searched, but found nothing to eat.
Even the pot for boiling water in the kitchen was taken away.
But this shop was not completely without gain. The tables, chairs and benches in the lobby were all made of wood, and the firewood they chopped was enough to keep them burning for several days.
After searching this room, the two continued to search inside, searching the cloth store, grain store, oil store, grocery store, liquor store, etc.
After searching all these shops, although no food was found, there were quite a few miscellaneous small items that could be used.
When they came out, both of them were holding a lot of things in their arms, so they planned to go back first.
When they returned to the yard where they were staying, Lu Tianming happened to see them and hurriedly opened the door for them.
Looking at the pile of things they were holding, several people in the room hurriedly took them and put them down.
Lu Qingqing rubbed her frozen hands and face and said to Lu Tianming:
"Uncle Tianming, we found a lot of wooden tables, chairs, and benches in the shop at the edge. We need to find a few people to help us move them back."
After hearing this, Lu Tianming quickly agreed and called the two men on duty to go over together.
"Daya, you guys go first, and when someone else comes back, I'll let them go!"
As soon as they walked out of the house, they met Zhuzi and his wife, who were holding a large bunch of dried radish seedlings in their arms.
When Zhuzi's wife saw them, she said happily:
"We found a cellar in the back yard with lots of dried radish shoots. Is anyone else back home? Come with us and get some. We can make soup with them and fill our stomachs."
Hearing that food had been found, everyone was very happy.
Not caring about the tables, chairs and benches, they followed Zhuzi and his wife to move the food.
They worked until dark, and the entire town was searched by everyone in the team.
All edible and usable things were brought back by everyone.
Among them, the most found item was firewood, followed by some small miscellaneous items.
But the food they needed most was only the radish seedlings found by Zhuzi and his wife and half a bag of wheat bran found by Tianfu Niang.
Even so, everyone was very happy.
If we can find something to eat, we can live longer.
Once the snow stops, they can continue on their journey.
Dinner was radish sprouts cooked in a big pot with a small amount of wheat bran. Each person got half a bowl of soup and vegetables.
If there are elderly people and children at home, soak a small piece of dry food in radish seedling soup.
Those who are more frugal only eat vegetable soup.
After eating, most people went to bed early because they were worried that they would get hungry quickly if they walked around.
After Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang finished their work, they also lay down and went to sleep.
At this point, the roof no longer leaked snow, and the holes at the door were blocked.
When everyone went out to search in the afternoon, Lu Tianming and the guards had already blocked the hole.
It was still snowing outside, and the whistling sound of the wind could be heard from time to time.
But compared with sleeping in the wild a few days ago, everyone felt very satisfied sleeping in the drafty house.
As the room became quiet, Lu Qingqing's consciousness entered the space again.
The first thing I noticed was the medicinal herb planting area. The vegetable seeds sown two days ago have already grown into small seedlings.
This is definitely accelerating growth!
Looking at the medicinal herb planting area in front of her, Lu Qingqing was filled with joy. This was a treasure trove!
She has thought it all out. In the future, she will plant ginseng on the east side of this planting area, Dendrobium officinale in the middle, and Panax notoginseng on the west side.
If I find any valuable medicinal herbs in the future, I will plant some more.
After looking at the medicinal herb planting area, Lu Qingqing looked at the planting area next to it.
There was no obvious difference in the crops that had been irrigated with river water before.
Thinking about the two tomato plants I planted before, one of them was also watered with river water.
Lu Qingqing walked towards the vegetable garden at the westernmost end of the planting area. There were many ripe tomatoes on the two tomato plants.
A few tomatoes that are so ripe that they burst, they look really delicious!
Thinking about this, Lu Qingqing regained consciousness and stuck her head out to look outside the quilt.
There was a wall on her right, and Qin Lang on her left was also fast asleep, snoring softly.
Qin Lang's light snoring was soon drowned out by the snoring of other men in the room.
The snoring sounds in the room were really all kinds of strange. Some sounded like an electric drill, some sounded like a cow, and some even sounded like someone was dying.
The others are easy to deal with, but the kind that died with breathing difficulties makes people feel nervous, afraid that he will not be able to take his next breath.
After listening quietly for a while, Lu Qingqing buried her head in the quilt again and entered the space.
You won’t know until you compare it, the temperature in the space is so comfortable!
Lu Qingqing took off her cotton-padded jacket, leaving only her inner clothes.
Then he ran to the vegetable garden, picked the bright red tomato, wiped it with his sleeve and took a big bite.
One bite and the sandy flesh spreads in your mouth.
It's so satisfying!
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the tomato seemed to taste better than before.
While I was eating, I heard some noise coming from the lake.
Looking up, she saw the big turtle persistently hitting the barrier, trying to come to her.
This guy kept hitting the wall several times without stopping, as if he would not turn back even if he hit the wall!
Lu Qingqing was thinking of letting it come over, but she didn't expect that the big turtle actually passed through the barrier.
When it really came over, it was a little confused again, and its small eyes as big as green beans stared straight ahead for a few seconds.
Then, it waved its four legs and ran towards Lu Qingqing at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Qingqing picked some vegetables from the vegetable garden and held them in front of the big turtle that was running over.
Seeing it chewing on the leaves with a "crunch, crunch" sound, he touched its smooth head and then continued walking towards the livestock shed.
Having not entered the space for several days, the livestock were a little excited to see her.
After stroking the furry creatures one by one, Lu Qingqing went back to clean up the storage area.
I worked until very late and then went out to sleep.
The next day, everyone expanded the search area.
Because he was worried about encountering danger while going out to search, Lu Tianming arranged a team of four and asked everyone who went out to bring weapons.
Lu Qingqing, Qin Lang and Zhuzi and his wife were divided into one team, and the four of them walked towards the west.
The snowflakes from the sky hardly stopped falling, causing the snow on the road to become thicker and thicker.
When the four of them encountered a depression in the thick snow, they had to lift their legs high to get through.
After finally seeing a village, the four of them walked quickly towards it.
Due to Lu Tianming's previous instructions, the four of them did not separate.
Start from the front house and search towards the back.
The door locks of most of the houses in this village have been broken.
Judging from the situation, it was probably looted before.
The four of them didn't plan to find too many things, and anything exposed outside would definitely be searched away.
The two kinds of food we found yesterday were both found in the cellar.
Therefore, if there was any food at all, it could only be hidden in a hidden cellar.
Therefore, when searching, several people paid special attention to whether there was a cellar.
When he found a yard behind the village, Qin Lang unexpectedly discovered a cellar.
He pushed aside the snow above, opened the cellar lid, and climbed down first.
Soon, Qin Lang in the cellar shouted excitedly:
"Daya, there's a big vat in the cellar with pickled cabbage in it. Come down and take a look!"
