During the day, Ma Peng began to gather the remaining labor force to cut wood and build houses.

Women, old and young are still busy with the crops.

Goubao and the others are still responsible for guarding the water source, taking over from black to white.

After being so busy, and with a group of people leaving, I suddenly felt a lot more deserted.

When Cai Lihua learned that the man was out hunting, she was naturally eager to wait for game. She and Lu Huifen spent the whole day studying how to use the simplest wild vegetables and limited rabbit meat to make meals for hundreds of people.

The two were about the same age and both were cooks, so they got along very well.

Wang didn't know where he went to rush through the pass. Peng Chao searched all over the mountains and fields for the old guy, but he didn't know whether he found it or not.

Ah Jiu was left alone to study growing vegetables in the dead grass.

She felt that this season was not suitable for growing tomatoes and other vegetables.

But I want to try it again.

At this moment, I am sitting cross-legged in front of a few vegetables I just planted in a daze.

The wind blew the dead grass like a yellow wave, covering Ah Jiu's body tightly.

Not long after, Ah Jiu's pupils gradually expanded, oh, a bag of soil was pushed out by the sprouts, and it could really sprout.

After a while, the two young shoots stretched out with their seed shells hanging on them.

Until noon, the voice of her mother calling everyone to start dinner came from the base in the distance. Ah Jiu hurriedly stuffed the last few tomatoes she picked into her arms and stored them directly in the space.

Quickly pull out dry branches and return immediately.

"Jiu'er, are you hungry? Come and try my mother's steamed wild vegetable steamed buns. There's some minced meat in it."

Cai Lihua happily grabbed two steamed buns and blew air back and forth.

"Yeah, there is really minced meat."

"There is salt here. It smells so good. Sister Cai, your craftsmanship is really good."

Everyone was full of praise. Over there, Lu Huifen distributed spring water to everyone. In fact, it was not much, only three or two sips at most, otherwise it would not be distributed evenly.

At this moment, she was smiling from ear to ear: "Of course, my skills are better than those of the imperial chefs I have ever seen."

"Have you ever eaten the dishes from the imperial chef?" Everyone spoke enthusiastically, as if they had long forgotten the war and famine in the outside world.

"Of course, when King Nanming got married, the emperor specially sent an imperial cook to take care of the wedding. A cook like me would only be assigned to work on cutting vegetables."

Lu Huifen was so happy that she emptied the last drop of water in the bucket into the ladle.

"Sister Lu, has all the water been distributed today?" Cai Lihua asked while eating the steamed buns.

"Yes, the water for the steamed buns is also divided. The mountain spring is very strange. There is less flow during the day but more at night. I don't know how much more water can be collected in the afternoon and whether it will be enough for dinner at night."

"Oh." After Cai Lihua said this, she walked to the tree and squatted next to Jiu'er:

"We are not short of water and we are not afraid."

Ah Jiu was amused. What was her mother thinking? If the time came when everyone was out of water, Ah Jiu couldn't just watch and not help. It was better for her mother to prepare in advance.

"By the way, have you seen your grandma?" Cai Lihua then remembered her mother-in-law who had disappeared for a long time.

"She's fine. She went to the mountain to meditate." Ah Jiu didn't know exactly where she went to sit in the mountain.

"That's good, I thought she was starving to death." Cai Lihua took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "I wonder if your father can get some meat this time when he goes hunting far away, so that everyone can eat it this time.

One mouthful of meat was made from a hare."

Ah Jiu sighed. A hare made enough rations for more than two hundred people. He didn't know if he could get a shred of meat in three bites.

But what makes Ah Jiu feel sad is that even though they live a hard life, they have no plans to mess with their few sheep.

Even when Goubao was changing shifts, he led the sheep around to eat grass, and was willing to leave a sip of water for the sheep.

Lu Huifen said that the sheep will give birth to lambs in the future, and the lambs will grow bigger and give birth to lambs, and slowly there will be a flock of sheep. If you only focus on the food in front of you now, you will cut off your own future.

In this way, the four sheep became people's treasures, and several children even combed the sheep.

Thinking of this, Ah Jiu suddenly felt that this is the end of paradise.

"Zhang Mazi, you guys are all working hard to build the house. Let's eat one more for each of you." Cai Lihua was full and hurriedly carried the basket to distribute the steamed buns.

Not long after, Cai Lihua came back from dividing the dough. She kept looking at the things in the basket with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Mom, what's wrong?" When Ah Jiu arrived, she saw a large stone in her basket, the kind of stone that was so ugly that even ginseng wouldn't want to live:

"What are you doing with the stone?"

"Jiuer, this is not an ordinary stone, this is a meteorite."
