Transmigrated to Ancient Times with System

Chapter 2 System

He Wan village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Li Yao's house at the foot of the western mountain.

The four thatched huts had rotting black straw on the roof, and there were two big holes in the roof.

A rickety little thatched shed that leaked from all eight sides was the kitchen.

"Mother," eldest daughter-in-law He Xiaoya said, "I'm going to cook."

Li Yao was starving, with her chest stuck to her back, and her eyes were twinkling stars. It was time to eat something.

"Cook what?"

"Wild vegetable soup." He Xiaoya replied softly.

The wild vegetable soup He Xiaoya cooked was just boiling water with wild vegetables thrown in to cook, without a pinch of salt.

It was incredibly bland.

It not only cut your throat, but also scraped your intestines clean.

It was very healthy, but what Li Yao lacked now was nutrition.

"Let's eat something else today."

Li Yao went back to the bedroom. There was still a small bag of coarse rice in the cabinet, about 3 catties, and four eggs that had been there for who knows how long. This was the last food left by the original owner.

She handed the bag to He Xiaoya, eggs and all: "Cook it all, until it's dry."

He Xiaoya knew this was the last food for the whole family, but since her mother-in-law had spoken, she didn't dare ask more and hurried to the kitchen with the rice.

But she secretly scooped out half a bowl and hid it on top of a shelf in the kitchen.

While He Xiaoya was cooking the rice, Li Yao went to the hillside behind the house and dug up some wild chives.

When she came back, He Xiaoya had already filtered the rice and was about to cook wild vegetable soup.

Li Yao quickly took over: "I'll cook the vegetables."

He Xiaoya was a little surprised.

Ever since she married into this family, she had done all the housework, and her mother-in-law had never lifted a finger. Yet today, she wanted to cook by herself?

Li Yao looked at the ingredients - only half a bowl of salt left. According to her memory in this era - there is no stir fry method and oil.

So she would boil wild vegetables and make egg drop soup.

After washing the wild chives. she had He Xiaoya heat up the water with high heat.

"Watch carefully," Li Yao said, "do it this way from now on."

Since she didn't plan on cooking long term, the best way was to teach someone else.

"Ok."

He Xiaoya didn't dare get careless and kept her eyes glued on every move.

When water boiled Li Yao added wild vegetables and Salt.

Sizzle—

The earthen stove burned hot and quickly wilted the wild vegetables.

Looking at the green wild vegetables boiling in Salt, He Xiaoya swallowed her saliva while her heart felt sliced open.

Usually when she boiled she only dared coat the touch of salt...Yet her mother-in-law still scolded her for using too much salt and being wasteful.

But her mother-in-law had added this much salt while cooking.

At this rate, wouldn't they eat 30 catties of salt in a year?
