"Life here in the Northeast may be leisurely, but there is a shortage of food. In the winter, we only eat twice a day, and every meal is just thin porridge."
"There are no vegetables in the winter. Sometimes we don't even have pickled vegetables, and we have to add salt to our porridge just to get it down."
"Before the autumn harvest even arrives, we run out of grain. After finishing our shifts, we have no choice but to go into the mountains to dig for wild herbs to boil into soup."
