Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 237 Reunion

"You silly girl, you're still not at ease with me here! Are you still questioning my medical skills? Don't forget who taught you medical skills." Grandpa Zhao pointed at Zhao Yunyun's forehead in pretended anger.

"Hehe, I'm not as good as you in other areas, but I've made a lot of progress in gynecological diseases and childbirth recently! Maybe I'm even better than you now!" Zhao Yunyun said proudly.

Hearing this, Grandpa Zhao's face was full of smiles, "Really? Let's have a discussion when we are free later."

"Okay, stop being so affectionate. The girl just made some lotus root powder for them. Let them eat something quickly! They must be starving." The Taoist priest couldn't help but interrupt.

"Yes, you guys eat something to fill your stomach first, and I'll make you something delicious in the evening." Xu Han also said quickly.

Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun were eating in the main room, with the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao accompanying them. Xu Han directly pulled Lu Chuan to the kitchen.

Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun are back today, so everyone is definitely going to have some fun and have a good meal.

So Lu Chuan and Xu Han started to busy themselves in the kitchen. After they finished their meal, Grandpa Zhao took Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun to the backyard.

"We started building this house last winter, and it was not until this summer that we finished preparing everything. Your grandfather Zhao and I moved here some time ago. The room over there is reserved for you two." The Taoist priest said proudly.

"You built it yourselves. Why don't I believe it whether it's real or not?" Yunhua said fearlessly.

The Taoist priest rolled his eyes at him, as if to say, "Believe it or not."

Zhao Yunyun was very supportive, "Did you guys do all this? You guys are amazing!"

After entering the backyard, the two began to look around, "Did you make these furniture too?"

"Yes! Everything you see is made by ourselves, including the tables, chairs and the floor. We split the stones ourselves from the mountains." Grandpa Zhao said with a proud look on his face.

"You guys are awesome, but this must have been thought up by Lu Chuan and Xiao Han. You two can only help at most." Yun Hua had just finished speaking when the Taoist priest's shadowless kick came over.

Zhao Yunyun looked at Yunhua with admiration, and silently said in her heart, "You are still brave!"

Yun Hua dodged and said, "I am telling the truth! Master, why are you so angry?"

Everyone laughed. Even Xu Han and Lu Chuan, who were busy in the kitchen, couldn't help but laugh when they heard the conversation in the backyard.

This is really nice, with a group of people having fun together, and for a moment it seems as if the years are peaceful and quiet.

"Okay, stop making trouble, you two. Go back to your room and clean up. It will be time for dinner soon." Grandpa Zhao stopped them.

After hearing what Grandpa Zhao said, the Taoist priest stopped. After the two of them went back to the room and put their things away, Grandpa Zhao took Zhao Yunyun to the kitchen to help.

Yunhua and the Taoist priest went into the Taoist priest's room to discuss some things.

"Yunyun, do you want to eat anything?" Xu Han asked.

"I have a chicken stew with mushrooms that I want to eat. Can you make this dish?"

"Yes, the Taoist priest went to the mountains to catch them a few days ago. We just happen to have some ingredients. Just wait! I'll go get the mushrooms." After saying that, Xu Han went to the warehouse.

Due to limited ingredients, the variety of dishes made today is not particularly large, but each one is in large portions.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, mushroom soup, sausage, stir-fried wild vegetables, shredded potatoes, fried eggs, hot and sour dried bamboo shoots, and beef stewed with sweet potato stems.

Although there were not many varieties, Xu Han still tried her best to make more different dishes.

During this period, the Taoist priest and Yunhua had not come out, and no one knew what they were talking about in the room. It was not until Lu Chuan came over and called them to eat that they came out of the room.

"Wow, today's meal is so sumptuous! I haven't had such a sumptuous meal in such a long time away from home. Today I finally don't have to eat dry steamed buns." Yunhua shouted exaggeratedly.

I have to say that when Xu Han met Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun this time, she clearly felt that they had lost a lot of weight, their skin was sallow, their hair was particularly dull, and their complexion was not good.

The most important thing was that Xu Han also discovered that Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun were dressed much worse than before, and they looked completely different from what they had seen before.

The two of them must have suffered a lot outside in the past year. The originally elegant and noble ladies from the capital suddenly became ordinary people.

Seeing Xu Han, I felt distressed. Life outside must be hard in this situation! It was good enough to be full. How could I eat as well as before?

"If it's Fengsheng, just eat more. Go wash your hands! Dinner will be served soon!" Xu Han urged Yunhua.

After everyone was ready, Xu Han took out some wine and poured some for everyone. Of course, she drank jam water, and Zhao Yunyun also drank the jam water with her.

After the meal started, Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun ate like crazy, as if they had been hungry for a long time.

But even though they were very hungry, the two were still very polite when eating. As expected of people who grew up in the capital, they still had their good manners in their bones.

It was rare that the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao did not pick up their chopsticks to grab the food, but everyone picked up food for Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun.

Looking at his granddaughter's appearance, Grandpa Zhao's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but he didn't say anything in the end.

After the two of them were almost 80% full, everyone began to chat while eating and drinking leisurely.

"How have you been doing outside this year? Is the situation out there okay?" Lu Chuan asked.

"Alas! The situation outside is really unstable right now. Because of the drought, people in the north are fleeing south. There is no food or water on the way, and many people died before they even got to their destination.

Because the drought affected such a large area, the imperial court was powerless. Previously, they had provided relief grain and other assistance to the people, but later, these were gone.

Not only that, many places did not accept the people who fled from famine, and even did not allow them to pass through the city gates. The people had it so hard, they couldn't even survive." Yun Hua said.

"Is the world outside stable now?" Xu Han asked.

"It's hard to even survive, so the world is naturally in chaos. Many people do all kinds of evil things, such as burning, killing, and robbing, just to survive in this chaotic world.

Many people did not die of starvation or disease, but were killed by people who fled the famine with them.

In the end, cannibalism has become the norm, and people are willing to fight for a dead body just to survive..." Zhao Yunyun said with a sad face.
