13 Many, many horses' hooves
After hundreds of dings, the system finally stopped.
Suddenly, there was a loud voice.
"Ding! Found wild horseshoe, weighing 52,013.14 catties, 10 yuan per catty, worth 520131 wen, is it sold? ”
Lin Qianqian was shocked.
More than 520,000 copper plates!
Now the rice in the county is about 10 yuan a catty, that is, as long as she sells these horseshoes to the system, she can have more than 50,000 catties of white rice, which is enough for their family to eat for a long, long time.
When Lin Qianqian was happily about to sell, she suddenly braked the car again.
She walked a few steps quickly and saw the large piece of grass that Lin Yueyue had just sighed.
I saw a small valley full of cylindrical grass-like plants about 30 centimeters high, clumping one after another.
Lin Qianqian was sure that this was the plant of the horseshoe, and the valley was full of horseshoe.
Although selling to the system can get a lot of copper plates, these are all shady money.
She made up her mind that she would dig some and eat them herself, and then make plans slowly.
Lin Qianqian snatched the hoe in Aunt Lin's hand, jumped into the valley, and dug it up.
The ground has dried up and cracked into blocks of different shapes, and I think there used to be water all year round, but now the weather is dry, so it has dried up.
After digging a few hoes in front of Lin Qian, he saw a few black horses' hooves caught in the mud and brought out.
Lin Mingming climbed down the valley with a rolling belt, picked up the mud dug out in front of Lin Qian, pulled out a few horses' hooves from the mud with his hands, and raised his head and asked his eldest sister excitedly: "Eldest sister, can this thing be eaten?" ”
Lin Qianqian took one and put it on the ground, snapped, she hoeed down, and the horse's hooves on the ground were immediately divided into two halves, looking at the white and tender horseshoe meat inside, Lin Qianqian smiled.
The dragon and phoenix fetus saw the expression of their eldest sister, and immediately ran over and snatched a few horses' hooves from Lin Mingming's hand, wiped them vigorously on his clothes, and then put them in his mouth and bit them.
"Squeak, wow, big sister, it's sweet." After Lin Yueyue took a bite, she screamed happily.
"Click, wow, it's crispy, it's crispier than Yamanashi, big sister, taste it." Lin Guangguang took a half-gnawed horse's hoof and handed it to Lin Qianqian.
"You can eat it, there's a lot more here."
Lin Qianqian waved her hand in resistance, there was so much saliva on that horse's hoof, she didn't want it at all.
Lin Guangguang was reluctant to hand it in front of her, and she hurriedly waved her hoe to the side to dig it.
Father Lin saw that several children were eating deliciously, and grabbed one and looked at it carefully.
He looked at it for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the deeper the frown on his brow, and the deeper the forehead lines on his face.
"Big girl, what are you? Can you really eat it? ”
"Dad, this is a horseshoe, also called water chestnut, it can be eaten." Lin Qianqian explained while excavating.
Aunt Lin took the hoe in Daddy Lin's hand and already followed the excavation.
She has always had no opinions of her own, she listened to Daddy Lin when she was young, and after Lin Qianqian grew up and slowly had her own ideas, she listened to Lin Qianqian.
She saw such a large patch of grass in the valley, and according to the eldest daughter's digging of a few hoes, so many round things would come out, and if the valley was dug up, then their family would have food for the winter.
"What horseshoe, what breathless? You have to look at it carefully, don't let your younger siblings really hold their breath after eating. Father Lin was so worried that he even said the elder words.
"Dad, you just believe the eldest sister, the eldest sister has never missed it." Lin Mingming put down the back basket on his back, and squatted on the ground to pick up the horse's hooves into the back basket.
The dragon and phoenix fetus are young, although they are greedy, they are also excited when they look at the horseshoe grass all over the valley at this time, and one of them takes his own sharp stick, sits on the ground and digs it up.
Father Lin looked at the whole family as one, and he sighed helplessly.
Forget it, the big girl is getting bigger and bigger, and the idea is getting bigger and bigger, anyway, no one will listen to his words in this family.
"Wow, light, look, I've dug out two." Lin Yueyue kept showing off in front of Lin Guangguang.
"Hmph, I've already dug five." Lin Guangguang proudly stretched out four fingers.
Lin Qianqian saw his four fingers in the gap between wiping sweat, and was speechless for a while.
Lin Guangguang is already twelve years old, and she can't tell the numbers within ten, but she likes to show off, and she has to find an opportunity to teach these younger brothers and sisters basic counting in the future, otherwise she can't take them out.
After the family was busy for about an hour, they filled the baskets that several people were carrying.
Considering that everyone had not eaten lunch, Lin Qianqian asked everyone to go home, and then go up the mountain to continue digging after lunch.
The family carried a full harvest on their backs and walked down the mountain.
Father Lin walked at the back, and he used branches to cover up the marks on the ground as he walked backwards.
Lin Qianqian understood his thoughts.
The horses' hooves in the valley are like gold in the eyes of the farmers who are short of food.
Daddy Lin is afraid that others will find out about this place, so he will dig it up.
The family quickly descended the mountain, and when they reached the entrance of the village, they heard a commotion under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
The big banyan tree at the entrance of the village has always been a place for people in the village to socialize and entertain, and it has always been very lively during the agricultural slack.
It's noon, and the villagers who have come back from the fields have been working all morning, and they are willing to go under the big banyan tree to soothe their fatigue.
But today's excitement was different from usual, because the chief was standing on the highest stone at this time, knocking on a rotten pot hanging from the banyan tree.
"Bell, bell!"
"Bell, bell!"
"Bell, bell!"
After knocking on the pot to attract everyone's attention, the chief shouted loudly: "Listen, everyone, the whole village will come here for a meeting after lunch, I have something important to announce, and all the people in the village, regardless of gender, old and young, must participate, and they are not allowed to be lazy." ”
The lieutenant shouted these words three times in a row, and then went home with his hands behind his back.
The people gathered under the banyan tree were all talking.
"What the hell is going on? Why does the whole village have to participate? ”
"It can't be that the county master wants us to pay food, right? I heard that many villages in the north are starving to death. ”
"The puddles in the river are running out of water, maybe Uncle Li has thought of a way to find water."
......
When it comes to the issue of water, the discussion is louder.
Mrs. Lin was surrounded by several women and spoke.
"Damn Shanze, there is a well in your house in the village, will I go to your house tonight to pick up two buckets of water? Oops, the water in the puddle is all mud and sand, and there is no way to use it for cooking. ”
"Yes, auntie, we are neighbors, and your well has a lot of water, so I'll go to your house tonight to pick up two buckets of water."
Mrs. Lin smiled and didn't give a clear answer.
She was laughing with a few women, and turned her head to see Lin Qianqian's family.
Her face immediately became gloomy, and she spat heavily on the ground, disliking as much as she wanted.
Lin Qianqian suddenly.
Mrs. Lin is Daddy Lin's stepmother, who was originally a widow in the village, and somehow hooked up with Daddy Lin's father.
Daddy Lin's father gave her the original marriage for her, and turned his head to marry her with a son and a daughter.
Daddy Lin's mother died of illness shortly after being divorced back to her parents' home, and she successfully occupied the magpie's nest and became Daddy Lin's stepmother.
Daddy Lin has a wooden temperament, and his face is sad all day long, and Lin Qianqian feels that it has a lot to do with this stepmother treating him badly.
Even if Daddy Lin has now become a family and separated from each other, this stepmother still doesn't have a good face every time she sees Daddy Lin.
Lin Qianqian snorted lightly and beckoned the family to go home and cook.
When Mrs. Lin saw Lin Qianqian's attitude, she was so angry that her heart hurt.
This nominal granddaughter doesn't know why she has such a bad temperament and acts unscrupulously, and she is half angry with her every time.
