At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Chapter 224 3Mu wants to learn how to make adobe bricks

When Gu Damao and Gu Changqing saw Xifeng come in, they nodded as a greeting, and then sat down at their desks to read the articles that had been revised by each other.

When Xifeng saw this, her envy was beyond words.

How much she wants to learn to read...

If she could read, would their family not be bullied?

After all, Songsi Village has ancestral rules. Anyone who dares to disrespect scholars will be kicked out of the family tree and driven out of the village.

The more Xifeng thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

If she knew what those square characters meant, she could become an official, be different from others, and wouldn't have to rely on getting married to give her parents a good life!

Xifeng looked at Gu Changqing, then at Gu Damao, and decided to ask the latter for help on how to read.

Beside the stove, Lin Qing was also lost in thought.

What should she make for lunch?

Suddenly, she had an idea. She remembered that when people in her hometown were building a house, they would treat the workers to noodles as the first meal, which meant that the project would go smoothly.

Now that we have neither noodles nor flour, we might as well make potato flour.

Although she relied on takeout to survive, her short video collection was filled with a pile of dusty "lazy food" and "10-minute quick family meals." She vaguely remembered seeing how to make potato flour...

But the trouble is, she only has potatoes, and it takes too long to make potato starch.

But if you want to buy potato starch, you will fall into a vicious cycle of only selling and not buying.

It seems that going to town is really urgent.

I can earn money from selling the sour jujube cakes and buy some new things. Then I will have an excuse to say that I bought them in town.

Now, let’s buy it...

Lin Qing immersed himself in the system, looked at the price of potato starch, and decisively chose to make it himself.

Money can indeed improve efficiency, but the prerequisite is that you have to have money.

Lin Qing, who had no money, first cut the potatoes into slices, then cut the slices into thin strips, and then called Sanmu over to start chopping them with water.

Since I don’t have a food processor, I can only use the most efficient food processor I have at home.

Gu Sanmu was very happy that he could help his mother. He chopped the potatoes into pieces according to Lin Qing's request and put them into a wooden basin beside him.

Gu Sanmu worked quickly and efficiently, and in just a few moments he had chopped up all the potatoes on the chopping board.

Lin Qing added a few scoops of clean water into the wooden basin and stirred it with chopsticks. The starch was immediately washed out and the water became turbid.

Looking around, there seemed to be no colander or anything like that in the house. Lin Qing simply pulled a piece of fine cotton cloth over another wooden basin as gauze, and slowly poured the potato water into it to filter it.

After filtering, there were still a lot of residues left on the cloth. Lin Qing carefully collected them and planned to use them to steam steamed buns.

After skimming off the foam on the surface of the water in the wooden basin, set it aside and wait for the starch to separate out.

Taking advantage of the time to calm down, Lin Qing put the leftover braised pork from yesterday on the steamer. Gu Sanmu started to light a fire sensibly, and the fire made his young face a little blurry.

Gu Sanmu looked at the dancing flames and said seriously, "Mom, I want to learn how to make adobe bricks from Uncle Songni."

Lin Qing remembered that in the system introduction, Gu Sanmu was very interested in various survival skills, and expressed understanding for his request.

"Okay, but can I ask you why?"

Gu Sanmu hesitated for a moment, looked into Lin Qing's eyes, and said word by word, "I want to build a safe house where my whole family can live comfortably and no one can break in."

Lin Qing looked at Gu Sanmu's determined expression, feeling both sad and satisfied.

In her past life, many men had sworn to her, promising to protect her for life and give her all their wealth...

But none of those words were as moving as the words of this young man at this moment.

Because Lin Qing could feel that Gu Sanmu was 100% sincere and had no ulterior motives.

Lin Qing cleared her throat: "Sanmu, I'm very happy that you think this way. Do whatever you want. I only have one request."

Gu Sanmu quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Mom, tell me."

"Share with everyone tonight what you learned today."

Gu Sanmu understood.

Just show everyone the movements of making adobe bricks.

Then he has to learn quickly!

Although Gu Sihe didn't understand what his mother meant by "family meeting", he saw that every brother had been called. He stood up and threw himself on Lin Qing's knees, looking up at her like a puppy.

"Mom, I've planted the seeds you gave me, and I just turned over all the sour jujube cakes in the yard. Am I amazing?"

Lin Qing pinched his chubby little face and said, "Great! How about drying them tomorrow and selling them in town the day after tomorrow?"

Gu Sihe jumped up three feet high: "Wow, really, really?! Mom, you are taking us to town? That's great, that's great!"
