Chapter 53: Wild Yams

Zhao Qianqian came to the door of Chengshuang's room and gently buckled the door.

The door opened: "Shallow, is there something wrong?"

Afraid of waking up the two glutinous rice dumplings, Chengshuang walked out gently and closed the door.

"No, I just went to the hall to drink water, and I saw that the light in your room was still on, so I came to see, why haven't you slept so late?"

Cheng Shuang smiled: "After reading the book for a while, I forgot the hour."

"Then you rest early, don't work too hard." qδ

"Well, you should rest early, too."

Zhao Qianqian went to the hall to drink water, then went back to the house and fell asleep.

The lights in Zhao Qianqian's house went out for a long time before the dark shadow on the west roof got up and left.

The next day, Zhao Qianqian got up at five o'clock, called Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan to get up and study, and went into the stove house to cook by himself.

When she entered the stove house, Chengshuang was already cooking, and Zhao Qianqian asked her to go back to the house to read, and she made breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhao Qianqian and Chengshuang went to Nanshan.

Chengshuang went to hunt bamboo shoots, and Zhao Qianqian went up the mountain to collect eggs and catch pheasants.

Outside the pheasant farm, several ditches were dug for the cultivation of earthworms, and five of them were covered with leaves.

There were a lot of collected leaves piled up on the edge of the ditch that was not covered with dirt.

The leaves in the chestnut forest are only half harvested.

The walnut forest is still thick, and the leaves underneath have rotted into natural fertilizer.

An hour later, Zhao Qianqian and Chengshuang sent things to Qian Mantang, and the money shopkeeper was already waiting there.

"Girl, are you free today?"

"Well, I'm going to go to Xishan with my brothers in the camp in a while, and I'll stop by to have a look."

The money shopkeeper smiled and his eyes narrowed.

"Do you have time today? Let's talk about cooperation."

"Not today, I have to go to Xishan, and I'll come back to you another day."

The money shopkeeper smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Okay, you have become a busy person now, and I haven't seen you for many days."

Zhao Qianqian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't make fun of me, your store is enough for you to be busy, more and more things have been delivered recently, it seems that your store's business is also booming!"

Hearing this, the money shopkeeper smiled very happily.

"It's thanks to you, you're really my God of Wealth!"

The money shopkeeper looked left and right, and then whispered, "To tell you the truth, my store has earned more money in the past month or so, than it has earned last year."

"If you hadn't bought my pheasant in the first place, maybe I wouldn't have met such a good partner as you!"

Seeing that it was not early, Zhao Qianqian and Chengshuang hurriedly went to the nut shop.

The baskets and baskets in front of the nut shop were placed in the street.

The two entered the courtyard, and everyone had just had breakfast.

Ling Feng gathered the whole team, and everyone led the team to set off.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the foot of the West Mountain.

Ling Feng trotted a few steps to catch up with Zhao Qianqian.

"Sister, this river is much wider than the one outside the southern city! And the water level here is much higher, and you see that the foot of the mountain on the other side is so flat, but there are not many households, why is that?"

Not to mention, Ling Feng's observation power is really strong, the first time he came to Xishan, he saw so many problems.

The terrain at the foot of the western mountain is flat, but there are no crops, and there are overgrown weeds everywhere.

There are a few thatched huts sparsely along the river, when cooking smoke rises from the rooftops.

Although the mountains are high, they are only some slopes, there are no steep mountains, and strangely enough, they are sparsely populated.

"The answer lies in your words, you see it's almost October now, the water level is still so high, and the current is very fast, if it is during the flood season, the people who live here will not be able to cross the river."

"Can they cross the river by boat?"

"It's almost October now, the current is still so fast, you can imagine how fierce it is during the flood season, the small boat is too dangerous, and the big boat is not built by ordinary people."

"Such a wide area is enough to cultivate a piece of land

If you eat it, even if you don't go to the city for half a year, it's not a problem."

"Don't forget, before we bought this mountain, this mountain belonged to the government, and we couldn't just reclaim a large area."

Ling Feng gave a thumbs up: "It's still my sister who is powerful, this mountain will belong to us in the future, this mountain is much bigger than Nanshan, and there is a large area of flat land, which can grow a lot of crops."

The sister and brother crossed the river with questions and answers, and Ling Feng jumped over.

Zhao Qianqian patted Ling Feng's head lightly: "Don't pat yourself on the back, hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task today if it's too late."

"Sister, since we are going to reclaim this mountain, how can we cross the river during the flood season?"

"Build bridges."

Ling Feng was a little blindsided, and he remembered that he and she had been begging on the street.

What is a bridge repair? He hadn't heard of it, he hadn't seen it, how did she know what bridge repair was?

Ling Feng felt that her sister was so powerful that no one could compare to her now, and even he wanted to have a serious illness, maybe he would become as powerful as her.

"Sister, the next time you see that master, give me a recommendation, maybe I can become powerful."

Zhao Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then understood who he was talking about.

"He's gone, and he won't be seen!"

"Why?"

"How can you see a master everywhere in the world, so many people have lived for decades and haven't seen them, maybe I'm just the only one in the sea of thousands of people."

Zhao Qianqian wanted to say that it is estimated that she is the only one who passes through, which is like walking on the road and being struck by lightning, the probability is too low.

Ling Feng nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Well, that makes sense!"

Zhao Qianqian stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Look, we have arrived."

Ling Feng looked at the rattan nets in front of him: "Sister, are these the cow hoof vines you are talking about?"

"Well, that's all you have to cut, but be careful to keep the length of the vine and don't cut it too short, or it will be wasted."

"Hey, okay."

Ling Feng responded, turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "Brothers, come here......

Ling Feng's team walked to the front, and the personnel arrived one after another.

Ling Feng told everyone about Zhao Qianqian's requirements, and the men who arrived started to move.

Before Qin Feng arrived, Zhao Qianqian looked down the mountain.

More than 200 people formed a long procession, the people in front had already reached their destination, and the people behind had just crossed the river at the foot of the mountain.

This huge team made the originally quiet West Mountain suddenly become lively.

Looking at such a large team, Zhao Qianqian's mood became a little complicated, a month ago, she wanted to feed her family and buy Nanshan......

Now leading more than 200 people to eat, can the three mountains be fed?

Since she brought everyone together, she had to try to find a way to keep everyone fed and clothed.

After standing for a while, the cotton pickers also arrived one after another.

Zhao Qianqian told everyone in detail how to pick cotton and what to pay attention to.

In order to make it clearer to everyone, she picked a ripe cotton flower and let everyone pass it on.

"Come, let's take a look at this, it's just ripe cotton that can be picked."

Everyone is very serious, and soon they all know what can be picked.

"When you pick cotton, be careful that too early or too late will reduce the quality and yield of cotton."

"Sister, don't worry, we all know each other, we must pick it well." A few clever girls in the crowd replied.

"Well, when you pick it, you collect all the seeds in the cotton flowers, and finally put them in this cloth bag, and we hope that these seeds will be planted with cotton next year."

Zhao Qianqian raised the cloth bag in her hand, which she let Cheng Shuang meet, just to hold the cotton seeds.

"Okay, sister, don't worry."

Looking at the snowflakes of cotton, everyone couldn't wait, and when Zhao Qianqian finished speaking, they couldn't wait to pick it.

Zhao Qianqiante

Don't hand it over to Qin Feng, you must remember to bring the cotton seeds back to Chengshuang.

This woman's hands and feet are fast, and they quickly picked up more than a dozen frames, Qin Feng selected ten people, transported them back to the city and handed them over to Ye Qianfan.

After these ten people were sent back, they dried cotton in the city.

As for how to dry cotton and cow's hoof vine, Zhao Qianqian had already told Ye Qianfan in advance.

In fact, the cotton picked today does not need to be dried, it is already very dry.

Generally speaking, cotton is to be picked separately, because the weather is very good these days, the picking is timely, and it can be regarded as high-quality cotton, so there is no need to divide.

Zhao Qianqian took a look, everyone was very conscious of their work, and planned to take Ling Feng and Qin Feng to find other mountain goods.

"Sister, you mean to take us to meet other mountain goods?"

"Well, when I came here a few days ago, I found that there were other mountain goods on this mountain.

Because I was in a hurry, I didn't look carefully,

I took you to know today, and you two will teach others to know each other in the future.

When you reclaim the mountains, you don't bury the useful mountain goods in the soil."

Ling Feng was full of interest: "Okay, you lead the way, and we will follow you."

Take the two to the place where they last found ginseng as a marker.

Zhao Qianqian pointed to the ginseng on the ground: "Come, you come and get acquainted, this can be a good thing."

"Sister, is this a grass? Do you eat it in soup or stir-fry?"

Zhao Qian smiled shallowly: "My silly brother, this is called ginseng, it is a precious medicinal material, in short, you remember, next time you see this kind of ......."

"Sister, you said that this ginseng still needs to be built, then I will come and build it tomorrow."

"It's still early, just wait until the snow falls to build the shed, and when spring comes, you can tear down the shed, no matter what season it is, you must pay attention to the soil moisture, so that the ginseng can grow quickly."

Ling Feng scratched the back of his head and carefully observed the ginseng on the ground, "This kind of ginseng is still very particular."

"It's not just about growing ginseng, if you want every crop to grow well and harvest well, you need to plant it according to the habits of each crop, but ginseng is scarce and many people don't know how to grow it."

"Sister, is there a seed in this life? If we grow more than wheat, we will sell a lot of silver."

Zhao Qianqian told the two about how to collect the seeds of life.

Zhao Qianqian took the two of them again and went to several other places where they were marked last time.

Ling Feng had never eaten ginseng, but he heard Zhao Qianqian say that it was a precious medicinal material, so he was very precious and looked for it very carefully.

On the way, Ling Feng found a ginseng plant, which was big and had many seeds, which made him very happy.

Ling Feng and Qin Feng were carefully digging ginseng, and Zhao Qianqian began to quickly look around again, looking for useful mountain goods.

After looking for a long time, I didn't find a useful one, and I was a little disappointed.

The landlord sat for a while, and when Ling Feng and the others came over, the three of them walked towards the back mountain.

Last time, I was in a hurry, and I didn't go to the back mountain.

Qin Feng rarely went up the mountain, and now he couldn't walk, and Ling Feng had to pull him from time to time.

Zhao Qianqian has been walking in front of searching.

Ling Feng dragged Qin Feng over, and when he saw that he was standing in front of a small tree without moving, he guessed that his sister must have found something good again.

"Sister, what is this?"
