Chapter 13: The Yam Discovery

When Ning Xue'er heard this, she also walked to Zhang's side and whispered with relief, "Yes, mother, as long as our family works together, life can always be lived. ”

Zhang held his daughter's little hand, swallowed the pain in his stomach, nodded, and said, "Listen to Xue'er, let's live our lives together." ”

When Da Zhuang heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued, "In that case, let's take stock of the furniture while everyone is here. ”

In fact, the family has no property at all. Some are just twenty taels of silver that have just been separated, one acre of high-quality land and three acres of wasteland, and then there are Ning Xue'er's twenty acres of wasteland, and there are only so many valuable things.

But these money will last until next autumn's harvest, in addition, the family has to build a kitchen, buy pots and pans, as well as winter clothes, New Year's goods, ordinary expenses, and family contacts.............

A sum of money, these silver is definitely not enough.

As soon as the account was settled, the brows of the whole family furrowed. However, Ning Dazhuang soon said, "Child, don't worry, after the autumn harvest, I will go to the town to find a job, and I can always save some silver." ”

In the past, after the autumn harvest, Ning Dazhuang would also go to the town to look for work, but the wages for the work had to be handed over to Mrs. Ning. Therefore, over the years, the small family of the Ning family's three-room family has not saved a penny.

Zhang nodded, "Okay, after the autumn harvest, I will weave diligently, and I can always subsidize some households." ”

In this way, life is not difficult, Ning Dazhuang and Zhang are both good at making money, although Ning Xue'er is a girl, but the affairs of the family can be handed over to her.

At noon, Ning's second aunt Ding was very polite at the dinner table, and thanked Zhang's for helping to harvest rice, but Liu's kept eating with his head covered and didn't even let out a fart. Ning Xue'er didn't expect the Liu family to say anything good, it was good if she wasn't angry.

After eating, Zhang and Ning Dazhuang went to the ground, Ding embroidered in the house, Liu weaved in the machine room, Ning Xueer cleaned up in the kitchen, and then went back to the house to lie down.

Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be sleeping, but she was actually completing the task released by the system. The daily routine task of the system is to recite ancient poems, and since coming to this world, Ning Xue'er has slowly developed a habit. And the result of memorizing over time is an increase in points. At present, Ning Xue'er already has five thousand points, and she can exchange a lot of things in the mall. However, Ning Xue'er has always been cautious, firstly, she kept her points in case she needed them, and secondly, she was afraid that she would suddenly take out some strange things and be discovered, so Ning Xue'er guarded a big treasure trove but did not make proper use of it.

In the afternoon, when the sun went down and the weather was cooler, Ning Xue'er took the basket to the village to look for wild vegetables.

Originally, there were enough wild vegetables to eat at home, but Ning Xue'er thought that she was going to split up, and she had to make some preparations. Pick wild vegetables, wash them, dry them and keep them for winter. In this way, the family can save money on groceries.

Ning Xue'er was planning beautifully, and she worked hard in her hands, and after a while, the vegetable basket was full.

Ning Xue'er had to carry the basket home, and on the way home, she thought that she would have to bring a basket out tomorrow, so that she could dig more wild vegetables.

In the afternoons of several days, Ning Xue'er went out every day to look for wild vegetables. Then go home and wash it, dry it in the sun, and put it away.

Zhang looked at the jar full of dried vegetables in the room, and praised Xue'er for her ability.

After the autumn harvest, Zhang worked non-stop to find villagers to repair the kitchen. Ning Xue'er's kitchen is going to be built next to her family's two thatched huts, so that it is easy to use.

The house didn't need to be too big, as long as it could put down a stove and a table, a few villagers came over to discuss with Ning Dazhuang, and then started to buy materials and start construction.

The lower part of the kitchen was made of adobe, and the top was covered with thatch, and then a wooden door was made, and a stove was built.

There wasn't much work, and many of Ning Dazhuang's friends came to help, so the kitchen was finished in two days.

Zhang looked at the pots and pans he bought, and the family moved the kitchen over.

Looking at his thatched house, Zhang's is happy and sad, happy that the family has finally separated, and sad is that this kitchen has cost a total of two taels of silver.

There is only so much money in the family, and this time it went to two taels, and Zhang's statement that it was not heartache was fake.

Heartache is heartache, but Zhang does not dare to slack off in making money. As soon as the kitchen was built, Zhang went to the machine room to weave. During this period, Ning Xue'er cooked and called Zhang's several times, but she just didn't want to get off the plane. Ning Xue'er had no choice but to take the meal and send it over.

The aroma of rice aroused Zhang's appetite, and even Liu, who was weaving cloth on the side, turned red. She looked directly at the large porcelain bowl in Zhang's hand, thinking to herself that it would be nice if she could eat a bite.

Liu couldn't help but swallow her saliva, Ning Xue'er just thought she couldn't see it, she smiled and said: "Mother, you eat slowly, there is still in the pot, I also cooked green onion and egg soup today, do you want to taste it?" ”

Zhang hurriedly shook his head, and then lowered his head to eat.

Liu Shi heard that the greedy insects were hooked out, and she said to Ning Xue'er in a daze, "Xue'er, I'm hungry too." ”

Ning Xue'er glanced at her, her eyes full of doubts. Isn't it a separation? The Liu family shouldn't have eaten Sanfang's meal anymore.

Liu smiled embarrassedly, and said directly cheekily, "Xue'er, isn't it just a bowl of rice, who are we with?" ”

Ning Xue'er: "..................." This Liu's face is really thicker than the earthen wall.

Ning Xue'er didn't pay attention to her, took Zhang's bowl and left.

Liu was in a hurry, she shouted at Ning Xue'er, "Xiao Nizi is also stingy, and she is reluctant to give a bowl of rice." ”

As soon as Ning Xue'er walked to the door, she heard Liu's words, she turned around angrily and went back directly, "Auntie's words are wrong, for a person who grinds me and wants to sell me, let alone a bowl of rice, just a bowl of water, a grain of rice, and a thread, I shouldn't give it!" ”

When the words fell, Ning Xue'er left. Liu's neck was so angry that her neck was red, but she couldn't do anything about Ning Xue'er, after all, she was divided into families, and it was not good to eat the third family.

However, for the sake of his own face, Liu still said angrily to Zhang, "Third brother and sister, look at Xue'er, there is no one in your eyes, and you don't know how important to speak, you have to discipline well." ”

Zhang was so busy weaving that he didn't even lift his head. Liu ran into a wall one after another, and finally had to run back to cook in disgrace.

In the thatched house, Ning Xue'er was sitting in a daze. Since the separation, Ning Xue'er's workload has decreased a lot, she only needs to wash clothes for four people, cook for only four people, and clean the house in a place where her own house is the size of her palm.

Therefore, it is natural that Ning Xue'er is idle.

This person, he has to think about it when he is free, no, Ning Xue'er is thinking about what to plant in her twenty acres of wasteland.

According to Ning Dazhuang's meaning, these wastelands can only grow buckwheat and sorghum. But Ning Xue'er thought that these grains were good, but they couldn't fill her stomach, so she wanted to plant some high-yield crops.

As soon as she mentioned high-yield crops, several plants immediately appeared in Ning Xue'er's mind: sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. These are highly productive and do not require too much fertile land.

"Host, you think too much, there is no corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes in this era."

Ning Xue'er: "................"

There's nothing to be afraid of, the points are exchanged for a few sweet potatoes, and the seeds will be there.

However, the source of this thing, Ning Xue'er thought about it, she felt that it could be said that it was found from the mountains, anyway, the mountains are rich in species, and there is one more kind of sweet potato, so everyone will not doubt it, but it is just that it has not been found before.

Ning Xue'er touched her chin and decided to plant sweet potatoes, but the system reminded her appropriately, "Host, in order to increase the yield, please fertilize first." ”

Fertilize? The system automatically helped Baidu, and Ning Xue'er learned that in this world, fertilization is either sprinkling grass and wood ashes or using manure. As for the compound fertilizer used in the future, the world of chemical fertilizer does not exist.

Is it so troublesome to plant a land? Ning Xue'er suddenly became a little deflated.

But thinking about the situation at home, she could only bite the bullet again. There's no way, who let her not dress as the princess and princess, but became a small peasant girl in Caoqiao Village.

At dinner time, Ning Xue'er proposed: From tomorrow, she will go to the mountains to collect firewood every day. One is to reserve it for the winter, and the other is to sell it if there is a surplus to subsidize the family.

In this regard, Ning Dazhuang couldn't ask for it, and he readily agreed. There is only Zhang, she told Ning Xue'er thousands of times, don't go into the mountains, and pay attention to safety.

Ning Xue'er nodded with a smile, indicating that she would definitely be careful.

The next day, Ning Xueer got up early to boil rice soup and make cakes. Ning Dazhuang finished breakfast and took the cakes to work in the town. As soon as Liu put down the dishes and chopsticks, he went to weave. Ning Xue'er also drank a bowl of porridge, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, washed her clothes quickly, and then called Ning Ran up, washed, fed, and finally sent him to Ning Pozi.

All the family affairs were arranged, and Ning Xue'er went out with a basket on her back.

She followed the village's sheep intestine trail all the way up the mountain. Occasionally, she would meet a few villagers on the road, and Ning Xue'er would also call people sweetly.

After walking for a while, we reached the halfway point of the mountain. Ning Xue'er rested and found that there were a lot of branches around, so she got up and started picking them up.

This pick-up does not stop. Unconsciously, Ning Xue'er moved away from the place where she was sitting just now and went deeper into the mountains.

"Host, yam found!"

Well, yams? Ning Xue'er was stunned, and then realized that the yam could be eaten.

So, she immediately asked: Where? Where are yams?

System: Fifty meters on the left-hand side.

Ning Xue'er walked fifty meters to the left, and only saw a green vine, not even the skin of the yam.
