Chapter 18 Border Situation

Father Wei and Zhao Yuan murmured a few words under the big camphor tree, and then went out together. No one in the family asked them what they were doing.

Wei's wife, Mrs. Li, and her two daughters-in-law were hanging around Wei Zhen. This thing was really delicious.

According to the treatment of the patient, Wei Zhen had not eaten for several days. Huang had previously cooked a well-cooked meat porridge and added a few amaranths to remove the unpleasant taste.

After cooking for an hour, it will be soft, thick and fragrant, filling an earthen pot enough to hold five large bowls.

I thought my sister-in-law wouldn't be able to finish the meal, so I divided the rest between the children and each of them had half a bowl. This was a precious thing cooked with polished rice and pork bones, and the Wei family didn't have the ability to eat it every day.

Who would have thought that such a large bowl of porridge was still slightly hot, but Wei Zhen didn't even use chopsticks or spoons, just like drinking cold water, she finished it in one go, and then said to her with innocent eyes open, "More."

Mrs. Huang took the bowl in surprise, remembering that her sister-in-law always controlled her food intake in order to maintain a good figure. Now that her face is disfigured and her life is short, she cannot have children. Is she giving up on her beauty completely?

Behind her, Wei Niang's distressed instructions came, "Eat slowly..." Do you mean eating? Or drinking? This child seems to have been hungry for hundreds of years. What kind of life did he live in his previous life!

"Oh." Eat? Drink porridge, drink porridge, isn't that right? This is how she drank the nutritional supplements from Interstellar in the past, liquid diet, drinking, nothing wrong!

However, there are also many people in the Star World who are still accustomed to using bowls, plates, knives, forks and chopsticks, which is very ceremonial, and in order to preserve the traditional culture of mankind, even if they eat colorless and tasteless nutritional supplements...

Huang went to the kitchen and filled a large bowl of porridge and handed it to Wei Zhen. The girl raised her head again and finished another bowl of porridge. There was no need to chew it. Huang passed the chopsticks to her.

The border is in mid-air...

Delicious! "More, thank you." Wei Zhen returned the bowl to Huang.

Sure enough, the food of this era is delicious! It has a silky texture, is full of aroma, and is so warm and sweet that you want to melt in it!

Is this the original taste of food? It’s so delicious! I love it!

"No, we can't eat anymore! You haven't eaten for a few days, and eating too much just after you woke up is bad for your stomach..." Wei Niang stuttered, and she was so ruthless even after eating? Wasn't this child a girl in her previous life?

Is food bad for the stomach? She ate too little. Didn’t you lie to her? The key is that after two bowls of porridge, Wei Zhen felt that her stomach just felt a little bit full and she was not full!

"Can't eat?" Wei Zhen looked at Wei Niang with doubts in her eyes. Doesn't it matter if she is full?

Yes, I suddenly remembered that the third child said before that her fifty taels of living allowance seemed to have been cheated by someone? She currently has no contribution to the family, and there is no rule to enjoy the benefits, so it is right for others not to give her food.

Wei Zhen pursed her lips and frowned in thought, how do we get food in this era?

Do you want to do your old job - be a soldier? It seems that the army in this era does not want female soldiers.

Farming? Doing business? I don’t have any skills in that area...

According to the intermittent knowledge instilled in the original owner by Wei Niang Li, the Wei family had a few fields of their own, but the soil was not fertile and the output was not high.

Liu County is also an exile county in the south. It is a designated place for northerners to exile criminals. It is outside the pass and is still hundreds of miles away from the city pass.

Hutou Village is affiliated to Liu County. Although the system is normal and the planning is good, the military strength is obviously insufficient. Without the suppression and maintenance of force, how much rules can the criminals and their descendants be expected to abide by?

Therefore, Liu County is a sinful place abandoned by the country, full of turmoil and unrest.

During the planting and harvesting season, countless bloodshed and human darkness are staged here. How much you can harvest depends on your own strength, so the average harvest is not good.

What's more, the people here not only have to guard against strongmen and pirates who come across the sea to burn, kill and plunder, but also resist the threshing of straw by the Yue Xiang Army and Tianzhu Armored Soldiers.

Planting won't work.

But doing business is very different.

Liu County is a trading place for several neighboring countries. Business is very developed and foreign businessmen can be seen everywhere on the streets.

However, the business is controlled by large commercial banks in various countries. The commercial banks have strong financial resources and have enough manpower to protect the goods.

If you don't have any personal background, it's almost impossible to do business. Even if others don't rob you, you will be squeezed out by big business houses until there is no business left.

Working as a coolie for a big business firm in the county is one way out, but most people can only do coolie work, and the wages are pitifully low. Sinners and their descendants are looked down upon like animals.

Large commercial banks also dare not use people whose character is not guaranteed to hold important positions.

After thinking about it this way, Wei Zhen also felt that the compatriots on the border were miserable.

Then, before she finds a real job, in order to survive, she has no choice but to deal with the beasts in the mountains...
