A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best
Chapter 17 Making Friends
Until now, he almost didn't dare to take action. Half an hour had passed. Li Xiaoxiao began to feel a little impatient due to the previous surprise. Should he try another method?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she had a large plastic shovel in her hand. The total length of the ginseng root was only about 30 centimeters. She first dug away a circle of soil, and then shoveled another 20 centimeters at the place where she had just dug. She used all her strength to pry the land. Finally, after changing the position several times, the soil loosened and she finally got it to the ground.
Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. This method was the best. It was simple and crude. She separated the soil and ginseng in a short while. Maybe because the land was fertile, the ginseng grew very well. It was round and full, with a well-developed root system and no broken whiskers. She found some newspaper, wrapped it carefully, and put it in the refrigerator in the space.
I was thinking of going to the county town tomorrow to see how much it can be sold for. If I can sell it sooner, I can build the house earlier.
Then he returned to the original path and walked down the mountain. He was in a good mood and his steps were much lighter. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Li Xiaoxiao changed back into his original shoes and put on the backpack. Not long after he walked, he saw Sun there, looking over here frequently with an anxious expression.
Li Xiaoxiao then remembered that she had agreed on a time to come back before she went up the mountain. As a result, she came back an hour late because she was digging ginseng. Sun was afraid that something might happen to her, so she came to pick her up. She quickly ran towards Sun.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao coming back safe and sound, Sun finally felt relieved and went back with her. On the way, Li Xiaoxiao told her mother that she had caught a nest of rabbits and shot a dozen birds. Sun smiled when she heard it. When the rabbits grow up, a rabbit can give birth to several litters a year. Then they can be taken to the county town to sell for money and used to buy medicine for Li Dahai. Xiaoxiao will not have to go to the mountain anymore.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't know that a rabbit could make Sun think of so many things.
When they got home, they realized that they hadn't cooked yet. Li Xiaoxiao took out the big rabbit on top from the basket. Fearing that it would run away, she tied its four legs with straw ropes. The little rabbits were placed under it in a layer of leaves, and at the bottom were the dozen or so birds.
Li Dahai finally felt relieved. No matter how capable Xiaoxiao was, she was a girl after all. If she encountered wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, how could she cope with it alone? He asked a lot of questions, and Li Xiaoxiao answered them one by one. In order to reassure him, he said that he only wandered around the outermost area and did not go deep into it, and would not go there in the future.
Sun and Li Ruolan boiled water and cooked, and let her rest in the house. Li Xiaoxiao was really tired. After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell the ginseng matter, otherwise she would not be able to get the money.
After briefly explaining the matter and taking out the ginseng from his arms in a pretentious manner, Li Dahai was surprised. He had heard of ginseng before, but this was the first time he had seen it in person. He asked in disbelief, "Xiaoxiao, did you really dig this from the mountain?"
"Of course, it took a lot of effort, so I came down the mountain a little late." Li Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, and explained the reason why he came back late.
Li Dahai carefully looked at the ginseng on the table, but didn't dare to touch it. Everyone knew that this thing was very precious.
"Dad, I want to take it to the county town to sell it tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?" Li Xiaoxiao continued.
Li Dahai thought for a moment and nodded, "It's good to sell it. It should be able to make some money. Your mother and I haven't been able to save any dowry for you. This money will be used as a dowry when you get married."
Li Xiaoxiao burst out laughing, "Dad, my elder sister hasn't gotten married yet, why should I be in such a hurry? I've already thought about the money. The most important thing for us now is to build the house."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Dahai felt sad, but at the same time he was very relieved. All the children in his family were sensible, but he was useless and owed them too much.
The birds are not big to begin with, and they look even smaller after removing their feathers. Each one weighs only about two taels. Fortunately, there are many of them, so we can have a good meal.
Aunt Wang next door gave me a bunch of beans in the morning, which were just right for frying. I washed the beans and cut them into sections, and cut the bird meat into pieces so that it could be better flavored. Li Xiaoxiao decided to fry it herself.
In her previous life, she was a food lover who believed that food could cure all unhappiness. After coming here, she also tried her best to improve her material life.
She bought seasonings from the county town yesterday, and she secretly took some from the space. People in ancient times wore loose sleeves, so they could do some tricks while turning the dishes, which most people could not find. Li Dahai was the smartest in their family, but a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so men in the Li family never cook. After the family split up, Li Dahai never cooked either. Even if the food tasted delicious, he thought it was because he had eaten too little meat, and he never suspected that something else was put in the food.
After the dishes were cooked, white rice was simmered in another pot. There were five people in their family, and two kilograms of rice was used up at once. Sun felt a little distressed, but looking at the children's eager eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse, and thought of just eating this meal.
Li Xiaoxiao served a bowl and gave it to Aunt Wang. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. She has many relatives and they live close to her, but they are all top-notch people. Aunt Wang is a good person with a kind heart. Li Xiaoxiao intends to make friends with her family.
Sending a bowl of meat and vegetables was neither abrupt nor out of place, and it showed that her family had inherited the good fortune of the Wang family. The Wang family had two little grandsons, twins, who were ten years old this year. They were chubby and strong, and when they saw Li Xiaoxiao bringing a big bowl of meat and vegetables, they almost drooled.
"What are you doing, kid? The beans grown in the field are not valuable. Take them back quickly." Aunt Wang also saw Li Xiaoxiao. She went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables in the morning. The weather was hot and the vegetables were growing well. She couldn't finish them at home, so she gave some to Xiaoxiao's family. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao brought a bowl of meat, a big bowl full of it.
"Auntie Wang, please don't be polite with me. Your family didn't spend any money on the vegetables, and I hunted the meat from the mountains, which I also didn't spend any money on. I just want you to try it," Li Xiaoxiao said as she handed the meat to Auntie Wang. Auntie Wang couldn't refuse it.
After a while, Li Xiaoxiao came back, and the family started to eat. They had a big bowl of fragrant rice for each person. Even Li Huawen, who was only seven years old, said he could finish it. Then they poured the rice with thick broth and stirred it. It tasted amazing.
After eating more than half a bowl of rice, Li Huawen raised his head and said incoherently while chewing the rice, "Second sister, please teach me how to shoot arrows. I want to be as good as you. If I learn it, I can go hunting in the mountains with you, and then my parents won't worry."
Li Xiaoxiao put down the bowl in her hand and looked at her younger brother. He was small and thin, but very handsome. She thought he would be a handsome man when he grows up. She wanted to feed everyone in the family well, but they had only eaten full meals for a few days and could not gain weight that fast. He wanted to share the burden of the family at such a young age. He was really sensible.
Thinking of the children she saw before she traveled through time, they were all living a life of ease and comfort at the age of 7, but her younger brother is now worrying about the livelihood of his family, and she felt even more pity for him.
