I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

After breakfast, Ji Xiaobei followed Haixia and Shitou to the wasteland.

Shugen brought nine men from the village and came with tools.

The tree roots assigned them areas, and they worked in groups of two.

Ji Xiaobei saw a plant with thin, bow-shaped branches. She recognized it; it was wolfberry.

When she took the children on an outing, she focused on introducing wolfberry.

Wolfberry heads can be eaten as wild vegetables, but I haven’t seen anyone eating them here because they are fresh and tender in spring.

Few people come to this barren slope. There are many rocks and not many wild vegetables on the ground.

The wolfberries grew very well. In a short while, she picked a lot of wolfberry heads and carried them back home.

"Sister, what is this?"

"Wild vegetables, change the taste at noon and eat some wild vegetables." Ji Xiaobei said.

Ji Xiaobei washed the vegetables in the yard, drained the water, and asked Xiaoju to boil water and blanch them. He then put in the chopped dried tofu shreds, smashed garlic, and chopped wild onions. He put vegetable oil in the pot and poured the hot oil on the onions and garlic. A spicy aroma wafted over.

"Sister, it smells so good!" Xiaoju said happily.

"That's because your craftsmanship is good!" Ji Xiaobei praised, because during the whole process, she sat on the doorstep and only moved her lips.

She can't do it, but she knows how to do it.

I used to watch chefs cooking in the kitchen.

Ji Xiaobei took out a little bit of soy sauce and vinegar from the refrigerator while she was not paying attention.

Sprinkle with salt, mix well, and a large bowl of wolfberry sprouts cold dish is ready.

She cut off a large piece of pork belly and handed it to Xiaoju.

"There will be a lot of people at noon, so add more meat. Stew pork belly with radish and dried eggplant, and put pancakes around it!" said Ji Xiaobei.

One pot cooking, save trouble!

Xiaoju nodded in agreement.

Lin went out for a while, and when she came back she saw a large piece of pork belly on the chopping board.

"Bei, we have to save this meat. We don't know when the barren mountain will bloom!" Lin said as she was about to take a knife to cut off a piece.

"Mom, I'll go to town in a bit and bring back some meat!"

Lin: ...Hey! Just pretend I didn't say anything! This is enough meat...

While Lin was still in a daze, Ji Xiaobei picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting the meat.

“It’s thick, thick, too thick…” Lin took a few quick steps to try to snatch her kitchen knife.

"Ah, mom, do you mean to cut it thicker?" Ji Xiaobei felt that the slices he had cut were already thick enough, why did he want them to be thicker!

She cut twice and cut it into slices thicker than chopsticks.

Lin was so anxious that she stamped her feet and her eyes were red.

Ji Xiaobei lowered his head and thought bitterly, wondering what happened to his mother? She hadn't even eaten two bites of food all morning.

"Big sister!" Xiaoju couldn't bear it anymore, so she threw away the shovel in her hand and snatched the kitchen knife from her big sister's hand.

"Sister, let me do it, I'll do it, you take a break!" Xiaoju forced out an ugly smile and glanced at Lin.

Lin's face turned pale. If Ji Xiaobei continued to cut like this, she would die on the spot.

Xiaoju put her hand on the kitchen knife and cut out thin slices. Lin finally let out the breath she had been holding.

Ji Xiaobei smiled awkwardly and said, "My family's chrysanthemum knife skills are better than mine. I'll trouble you to cook for the family. I'm going to the town!"

Lin's lips trembled, and she waved her hands hastily, saying, "Go buy some meat? No, there's still a pheasant..."

Ji Xiaobei was really worried that Lin would have a seizure. She remembered that her mother used to have a dizziness problem, so she hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, I'll go buy some bones. The bone soup made from wild vegetables will be delicious."

Lin watched Ji Xiaobei walk out of the yard carrying a large backpack, and quickly ran after her, shouting, "Bei, buy less... one bone can make a pot of thick soup..."

Ji Xiaobei threw the backpack onto the donkey cart and drove Ji Decai out.

The sun was almost overhead and it was getting late, so she whipped the donkey and Jide started running.

As soon as he arrived in the town, Ji Xiaobei found something was wrong. The women and men looked anxious and walked very fast with baskets on their backs.

"Hurry up, the food will be snatched away in a moment!"

"My shoes fell off, wait a minute..."

Ji Xiaobei asked Ji Decai to slow down, wondering why the county opened and closed its positions so quickly?

She jumped off the donkey cart and wanted to stop someone to ask.

"Hey, Auntie..."

"Auntie what..." The person ran away quickly from her.

"Uncle, uncle, where are you going..."

"What are you asking? Why don't you go and steal some food...are you stupid?" The uncle walked with his lame leg, like a gust of wind.

TND, I haven’t sold my grain yet, but I’ve already closed my position.

She pulled Ji Decai and followed the crowd.

After walking for a while, she realized something was wrong. This was the road to the grain store, and they were rushing to buy grain.

Almost got cheated!

She hummed a little tune, got on the carriage and walked towards her shop.

After taking just two steps, I saw a tall, broad and solid figure. Who else could it be but Heita?

He was followed by a man who was much more well-proportioned than he was.

Seen from behind, she is wearing a black satin dress, with an upright posture and a wide belt around her waist. At first glance, she has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, but a closer look reveals that her waist is nice, no, a nice waist!

Ji Xiaobei chuckled twice. This must be the buyer. He looks like a rich man.

"Black Tower!" Ji Xiaobei whipped his donkey and shouted loudly.

Heita was startled by the sound of a whip behind him. He turned around and saw Ji Xiaobei squatting on the donkey cart. He was stunned for a moment, tilted his head, slightly bent his waist and said a few words to the person next to him.

The man next to him looked at Ji Xiaobei expressionlessly, then turned around and continued walking.

"Heita, I'll go open the door in front!" Ji Xiaobei drove a donkey cart past them and vaguely smelled a faint scent of agarwood.

It seems familiar, as if I have smelled it somewhere before.

Ji Xiaobei was thinking about selling grain and didn't have time to think about it. He rode his donkey past, raising a cloud of dust.

Fu Jichang frowned slightly, and Heita hurriedly used his sleeves to brush away the dust around the man.

Ji Xiaobei quickly tied up Ji Decai, opened the door, moved the tables, chairs and stools at the door of the inner room, and pushed the door open.

Two people followed in.

Ji Xiaobei leaned to one side and pressed his body against the wall, trying to let the man pass.

The man glanced at Ji Xiaobei.

The space was a little small. Ji Xiaobei tightened his stomach, lifted his heels and leaned against the wall. The man strode inside.

She wrinkled her nose. The scent of agarwood actually came from him. It smelled nice.

Heita took the initiative to stand in place. After all, he couldn't squeeze into that small space, not to mention that there was a woman who didn't look like a woman hanging on the wall.

Ji Xiaobei followed him in and introduced, "Sir, there is no grain available at the grain store in town. My grain is very valuable."

"I'm not blind!" the man replied coldly.

Ji Xiaobei rolled his eyes at him and asked: Who is the person brought by Black Tower? Can he speak?

He went into the inner room, looked around and said, "Sure, I'll take them all!"
