The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

Chapter 351 Discussing Preparing More Food

"Boss, is the news accurate?"

"Wife, we have been in town for almost a day. People in town are talking about this matter."

Zhang slapped the table happily, "Oh, it's good this time, we can finally continue on our journey."

"That's good. I don't have to worry all day long."

Butcher Yun laughed, "Wife, we heard everyone in town say this before, and we were worried that the news was inaccurate, so we stayed here so late to come back."

"So, everyone can put their minds at ease this time."

"Boss, when the village chief came back, did he say that we could set off at that time?"

Butcher Yun nodded and said, "Wife, the village chief really did mention this. He said that we should rest here for another day."

"I also wanted to leave a day for everyone to prepare water and food. The day after tomorrow morning, we will set off early."

Zhang stood up immediately. "Oh, one day is too tight. I feel like there are still many things I haven't prepared."

Yun Yiyi pulled Zhang to sit down again, "Mom, one day is enough. We won't go up the mountain tomorrow. You can help with the preparations at home then."

"I think this will work. With the help of you guys, I can finish the day."

Brother Yun and the others all looked at Zhang and smiled.

Butcher Yun also smiled, "Wife, our things are easy to pack. However, the village chief said that we may speed up on the way."

"After all, we wasted a lot of time before. So I was thinking that you should prepare some more cakes and steamed buns tomorrow, so that it will be easier to eat and cook."

Zhang nodded. "Yes. How could I have forgotten about this? Anyway, the weather is not that hot now. I might as well steam two more pots of steamed buns."

"We can also make two more batches of leavened bread. Then we won't have to prepare staple food, so the cooking time will be shorter and everyone can rest a little longer."

"My daughter-in-law is really thoughtful." Yun the butcher did not forget to praise Zhang while eating.

Zhang couldn't help but laugh, "Boss, this is what you should do."

"Mom, I think you can chop some wild boar meat and make some meat sauce tomorrow. Then you can eat it directly with steamed buns and cakes."

Zhang patted Third Brother Yun on the head and said, "Third Brother, when it comes to food, you're the one who thinks faster."

Third Brother Yun chuckled.

"Mom, let's prepare as much as possible tomorrow while we don't lack water or firewood. The weather is getting colder day by day."

"Let's leave it there and eat it slowly."

"Oh, wife, fry more meat sauce. I'll bring out two pieces of meat later, and we'll chop up all the ten pounds of meat and make meat sauce."

"When the time comes, add more oil when frying and store it in a can. It will last for a long time."

Yun Yiyi clapped her hands, "Mom, I remembered something. It may be troublesome when we make it, but it will be easier to eat."

"Yiyi, what are you talking about?"

"Yes, Yiyi, tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."

"Yiyi, mother also wants to know, what are you talking about? Have we eaten it before?"

Yun Yiyi said loudly, "Mom, I'm talking about the noodles we ate."

"Yiyi, silly child, if you want to eat noodles, mother will mix flour with corn flour tomorrow and make you a pot of noodles."

Yun Yiyi was anxious, "Mom, I'm not talking about the fresh noodles you made. I want to tell you that if you roll out a lot of noodles, we can dry them."

"In the future, when we don't have time to cook, we can just boil a pot of water and cook noodles. Do you think it will be fast and save trouble?"

Butcher Yun nodded, "Yiyi, what you said makes sense. And according to what you said, eating noodles does save time and effort."

Zhang was still a little confused, "Yiyi, if the noodles are dried, they will break if touched. It's better to eat fresh noodles."

"Mom, let me tell you something. When you cut noodles, don't cut them too long. Try to cut them thinner and shorter so they dry faster when you dry them in the sun."

"As for the problem you mentioned about dry noodles breaking easily, there is a way to solve that. When the time comes, just find a clean basket."

"Fill the basket with grass all around, then put a clean cloth bag in the middle of the basket, and then put the noodles in the bag."

"Think about it, the basket is filled with grass all around, and the noodles are firmly inside the cloth bag, so they won't break easily, right?"

Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, what Yiyi said makes sense. As long as I don't cut the noodles too long and then wrap them properly, even if there are some broken pieces, it probably won't be much."

"Yes, mother. I think you should cut the noodles into the length of your palm, just a little longer.

"As for thickness, you can try it yourself, Mom. But don't cut it too thick. If it's too thick, the noodles won't be easy to dry."

"Okay, then I'll study this noodle tomorrow. I'll try to cut as many noodles as possible and dry them in the sun."

"By the way, boss, after you finish your meal, help me knead the dough. Knead it tonight, and it will be ready to rise tomorrow morning."

"This way, we can steam buns and make pancakes in the morning. I can also free up my hands to make noodles."

"There's no need to leaven the dough for making noodles. Steam the buns tomorrow morning and I'll have enough time to knead the dough."

"Okay, wife. I'm almost done eating, and I'll help you in a bit."

"Mom, how about I take them to cut grass and collect firewood tomorrow morning? You will need a lot of firewood to make steamed buns."

"Boss, you take them with you. Collect more firewood and cut more grass. I plan to put a few bundles of grass on the top of the mule cart for future use."

"Dad, don't worry. We have a lot of people, and we can definitely collect a lot of firewood and cut a lot of grass tomorrow."

"Dad is most relieved when you guys are working."

After hearing this, Brother Yun and the others all laughed happily.

"By the way, brother, we didn't go up the mountain today, so we can't have fresh wild vegetables. Otherwise, let's go to the mountain stream tomorrow."

"There's a lot of wild celery there. Let's pick some and bring some back for the day after tomorrow."

Brother Yun agreed and said, "Okay, Yiyi. Let's go to the mountain stream tomorrow. When the time comes, you little ones will be responsible for picking wild vegetables, cutting grass, and collecting firewood, and the second brother and I will be responsible for transporting them home."

"No problem, brother."

"That's fine with me, bro."

"Yiyi, should I stay at home tomorrow, or go to the mountain with you?

Yun Yiyi shook her head decisively, "Brother Zirui, just stay home and help. Dad and Mom are still in need of someone to run errands. You are the perfect person for this job."
