Soon, the patriarchs of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village found thirty people and handed them over to Xiao Qiongzhi.

It's just that it is probably because in this era, ordinary people are all made by women, and the people they find out are all women.

Xiao Qiongzhi swept her eyes carefully and found that they were basically in their forties and fifties, and they all looked relatively simple and satisfied.

She pointed at them, turned her head to Zheng Bang and said, "Uncle, I want to take them to the mountains near the entrance of the village as soon as possible to identify miscellaneous grains and make them into food, so that these people from Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village will no longer have to go hungry at noon. ”

"No, there may be wild boars, wolves or tigers in the mountains, and I have to be by your side to protect you. That's it. Zheng Bang shook his head, obviously not intending to give Xiao Qiongzhi room to refute.

Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to jump off the ox cart, walked to the two old ladies in Zhoujia Village, omitted the words "uncle" and "you and us", and roughly said what he had said to Zheng Bang.

The two old ladies were very supportive of Xiao Qiongzhi's plan.

One said, "Okay, Zhi'er, don't worry, take people to the mountains." ”

The other said, "Zhi'er, it's best if you can find the grains right away, and if you can't find them right away, it's okay, everything is still with us." ”

"Okay, thank you, two grandfathers." Xiao Qiongzhi obediently agreed.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang, with thirty people from Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, crossed the wooden bridge on the upper river at the junction of Zhoujia Village and Xujia Village, and came to the foot of Qilu Mountain on the other side of the river.

This mountain is relatively large, below is a small mountain bag of several arch guards, there are seven main peaks upward, the top of each peak, all resemble a deer head that stretches out its neck, and the seven deer mountains are named because of this.

Xiao Qiongzhi plans to take the three kinds of miscellaneous grains that everyone recognizes, namely mountain chestnuts, Huaishan, and Poria cocos.

However, although Wangjiacun, Xujiacun, and Liujiacun had already sworn to be loyal just now, people's hearts were unpredictable, and she didn't plan to teach them all these three kinds of grains at once.

She walked slowly up the hill and looked closely.

Along the way, there were traces of mountain chestnuts everywhere, but she didn't make a sound, just walked along the hillside and picked up the back sun.

Soon, on a sunny hillside, many traces of Poria cocos were found.

Still silent, she kept walking.

After walking for a while, I finally found several traces of Huai Mountain on a sunny hillside with few trees and many shrubs.

She pointed to the large and small yellow particles of sheep dung and eggs growing on the Huaishan vines exposed in Huaishan, and said to the thirty people who followed her: "This is called yam eggs, they are miscellaneous grains, and when they are cooked and eaten, they taste more fragrant than potatoes, so you can pick them all." ”

"Yes! Little master. Thirty people were overjoyed, and one by one they agreed in unison, and happily did it immediately.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and soon, they have picked all the yam eggs.

Since everyone is empty-handed and uphill, the yam eggs they pick are directly stuffed into their arms.

At first glance, everyone's chest suddenly seemed to be inflated, and it was twice as large, which was very ****.

It's weird and funny.

Xiao Qiongzhi covered her mouth and snickered a few times, and said to them seriously: "You take a closer look at what color and smell these vines grow yam eggs, what shape and color the leaves on the vines are, and what color and smell these yam eggs grow." ”

"Yes! Little master. The thirty people understood that Xiao Qiongzhi was teaching them how to recognize the vines, leaves and fruits of yam eggs, and immediately did so.

After a short while, Xiao Qiongzhi estimated that they should all be recognized, and instructed them: "Now, you form a team of five people, go along the slope of the mountain with the back sun, go find this yam egg, and after half an hour, come back here together to gather." ”

"Yes! Little master. Thirty still did so unequivocally.

After they left, Zheng Bang held a yam egg that he had crushed in his hand, and asked Xiao Qiongzhi curiously: "Zhi'er, you said that this thing is called a yam egg, but after I crushed it, I found that its smell was very similar to a medicine called Huaishan that I had seen before." ”

Xiao Qiongzhi didn't expect him to recognize it, and explained with a smile: "Uncle, this is a seed that grows on the Huaishan vine, which can be grown in Huaishan or eaten as food. ”

"Moreover, Huaishan is not just a medicine, it can actually be used to make miscellaneous grains, if it is mixed with glutinous rice, eggs, sugar or something, it will be a delicacy."

"So that's the case, then I'll see how many Huai Mountains have grown under these vines." Zheng Bang immediately became interested, took out the sword on his waist, and went to dig Huaishan under one of the Huaishan vines.

He was also lucky.

Under this Huaishan vine, it is densely packed and overgrown with Huai Mountain, and most of the Huai Mountain are long and thick.

By the time he had dug it all out, the mountains had become a hill.

Xiao Qiongzhi counted carefully, and there were fifty-seven of them.

Among them, the longest and thickest one, Zheng Bang deliberately rubbed it with his hand and told Xiao Qiongzhi: "This one should weigh more than ten catties." ”

"Uncle, then you can weigh the thinnest Huai Mountain, how heavy." Xiao Qiongzhi's eyes lit up and hurriedly said.

Zheng Bang immediately did so, and told her: "This one is only about four catties." ”

Ten catties plus four catties is fourteen catties, and the average value is seven catties each.

A total of fifty-seven Huai Shan were dug up under this vine, fifty-seven times seven, which is three hundred and ninety-nine catties!

I spent nearly 30 taels of silver today, and the rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes I bought were only 520 catties.

It's all money, it's all money!

And if these Huaishan mountains are dug up in the future, made into pastries, and sold in the township or county, it should be more valuable!

The more Xiao Qiongzhi thought about it, the more happy she became, and said to Zheng Bang with a smile: "Uncle, you quickly bury these Huai Shan back, I plan to let the people of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village learn to recognize yam eggs first, and I won't tell them about Huai Mountain for the time being." ”

"Zhi'er, there are far less yam eggs than Huaishan, if you just tell them yam eggs, after they finish picking yam eggs, they will soon be out of food again!" Zheng Bang hesitated.

Originally, before he met the people of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, he did not have much pity for their starvation life.

After all, in the countryside of Chu today, basically every household lives like this.

However, just now at the entrance of the village, compared with the sturdiness of the people in Zhoujia Village, and the extraordinarily thin and thin people of most of them, the strong visual impact shocked his heart, and made him subconsciously want to help them where he could, so that their lives could be better.
