Liu Wan's operation provoked the system to complain:

"Host, why don't you clean up properly, just throw these mud balls in."

"Hmph, that's called raw natural flavor." Liu Wan said unconvinced, "As a food locker system, isn't it possible to store any kind of food?" I even dislike the delicious konjac. ”

The system kept its mouth shut, feeling that the host was a little unreasonable.

Liu Wan said with a smile: "There are thousands of catties in this piece, and I am going to pull them all up to make konjac powder." ”

"Host, you're right to be crazy about storing food."

Unexpectedly, the system suddenly came out of nowhere.

Liu Wan was a little hinted: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's nothing, hehe, host, you've only turned on half of the storage function now, and there is still half of the space to open, come on!"

The system fell silent again.

Liu Wan threw all the konjac into the locker, and then put away the hoe to find Wang Lian.

Wang Lian was very obedient and broke bamboo shoots nearby.

She was small and didn't dare to go deeper, so she broke half a basket of bamboo shoots.

Seeing Liu Wan coming over, she saw the three pieces of konjac in her bamboo basket, and said happily:

"Mother, you are so good, you dug three pieces of such a big konjac."

Liu Wan said: "Yes, I'm afraid it's too heavy to take away." ”

"Mother, go inside with more bamboo shoots, I didn't dare to go in alone just now, for fear of being caught by the mandrill."

When his mother was there, Wang Lian became bold.

Mandrill is a kind of ghost in the mountain legend, which can catch people, and adults and children are afraid of it.

The mountain people who grew up listening to such ghost stories actually have a shadow in their hearts when they go up the mountain, but in order to survive, everyone can only go into the mountain hard.

Liu Wan felt that the process of breaking spring bamboo shoots was easy to heal, one on the left and one on the right, with a "click" sound, and a bamboo shoot was in hand.

This piece of bamboo shoots really grew very lush, Liu Wan had a lot of strength, and her movements were neat, and after a while, she broke a basket, and poured the extra into Wang Lian's small frame by the way.

Liu Wan broke bamboo shoots and secretly put them in the food locker.

Wang Lian was only focused on breaking bamboo shoots, and she didn't notice Liu Wan's movements at all.

"Li'er, it's not early, let's go down the mountain, otherwise it's going to be dark."

Liu Wan looked at the system time and knew that it was already 4:30, and it would take two hours to walk back, and it would be dark when she reached the foot of the mountain.

Wang Lian was with her mother, and she didn't worry about whether it was dark or not, and happily embarked on the way home with Liu Wan.

Luckily on the way, Liu Wan also picked a handful of mulberries for Wang Lian.

The mulberry grows on the tree, and it is already ripe and black, and it tastes sweet and sour in the mouth, not to mention how good the taste is.

Wang Lian's mouth was full of black, and Liu Wan couldn't help laughing at her.

Liu Wan saw that she could still laugh, so she was really relieved, she was still afraid that Wang Lian would have to adapt for a long time, it seemed that Wang Lian's ability to bear it was quite strong.

When I got home, I got to the bottom of the mountain, and it was already dark.

Liu Wan met Zhao at the head of the village.

Zhao should have returned from the field, his trouser legs were still stained with mud, and the two hurriedly exchanged warm greetings.

Liu Wan said that she was going to dig konjac, and when the konjac over there was finished, she would make all of it into konjac powder, and give half to the Zhao family at that time.

Zhao asked her not to be polite, although she went to dig, although that place was discovered by her, it did not belong to her.

She is not so keen on digging konjac, the two of them have already formed a family of children and daughters, and there is no need to be so clear about these ownerless things on the mountain.

Liu Wan smiled and said that there were so many konjac, she couldn't eat them all, and it was inevitable that she would give them to the Zhao family.

Zhao asked, "Is there enough water in your family?" Have you dissolved the field? Rice planting is about to begin.

Liu Wan shook her head and said, "Not yet, my fields are relatively short of water, and Xiao'er is worried about farming." ”

In fact, Liu Wan doesn't really want to grow crops, her fields are in the middle of the mountains, there is a lack of water, and the harvest in previous years is not high.

The good land of the Wang family was sold and spent by Wang Dazhi, and the rest were inferior fields.

Zhao was not unaware of this situation, and said sympathetically after listening to it:

"Then I can only intercept the water at night."

The people in the village are particular about water, and if they want to fill their fields near the springs, they have to make a temporary dam to stop the water from the mountain springs in their fields.

One paddy field is filled and then the next one.

If everyone comes in order, from top to bottom, then there will be no problem, and soon everyone will have water in the fields.

But because of the monopoly on water and the anxiety about water shortages, the water is usually stolen by the dams, usually at night.

That's why the Zhao family will have to let Wang Xiao intercept the water at night.

Liu Wan said: "Okay, I'll remind Xiao'er and I." I'm going to try growing potatoes or sweet potatoes. ”

Zhao said in surprise: "Potatoes and sweet potatoes? Isn't this the food of the Hu people? ”

These two crops have long been heard of by the people in the village.

But no one in the village dared to plant them, because they didn't understand these two crops, and if one of them was lost, there would be no harvest in the coming year, and people would starve to death.

Zhao felt that planting sweet potatoes and potatoes was very risky, and wanted to persuade Liu Wan not to plant them.

Liu Wan originally thought that there were no sweet potatoes and potatoes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but once Liu Wan inadvertently bought half a basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes from a merchant from the Xiongnu in the market, only to know that these two crops had already been available.

However, at present, no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty recognized the value of these two crops, and they were not vigorously promoted, so the acceptance of the common people was not very high.

Hu Ren took out this thing and sold it, and he would definitely not say how many catties per mu he produced? What a good seed, high yield, etc., so no one dares to experiment with their own precious fields.

In an era when only one crop of rice can be grown a year, if this season's grain planting fails, it means that the whole family will be hungry the next year.

Of course, if you don't want to go hungry, you have to pay for food, but who has the extra money to buy food?

So Liu Wan's decision also surprised Zhao.

"Don't worry, I'll try to plant two acres of land first, and the rest of the land will be planted with rice."

Liu Wan saw that Zhao was worried, so she said.

After all, the Zhao family is her in-laws, and she doesn't want the Zhao family to think that she is an impulsive person, regardless of the safety of the whole family, planting sweet potatoes and potatoes on all the land, and then putting the family's dinner in the coming year in danger.

Because now Liu Wan doesn't know whether today's potatoes and sweet potatoes are the same as the potatoes and sweet potatoes she originally knew, and they can yield thousands of catties per mu.

She didn't dare to pack the ticket herself, so she could only try to plant it for one season first.

Zhao listened, and then said with a little relief:

"Aunt Liu, I don't mean to stop you, but if you can't keep the food, you will be in trouble next year."

"Yes, yes, you're kind too."

Liu Wan echoed.
