Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

He found a secluded corner, entered the space and took out the straw rope woven by Liu Datong from the valley.

Wet them with water, and tied the pumpkins and winter melons up one by one and tied them into bunches.

Dozens of them were tied up.

Then he got out of the space, took out a straw rope, made it long enough, tied it to the tree, and threw the rope into the cave.

I wet the bottom of my hair with water, and then released the pumpkins and winter melons from the space. There were about 100 of them released.

Then sprinkle water on it.

After getting ready, I walked down the mountain.

Back in the village, "Grandma, go find Uncle Liu and ask him to harness the ox cart to the cave entrance to get some vegetables. I just went to the valley to pick some vegetables."

"Can we enter the valley?"

Grandma Jiang was instantly surprised.

"My lord, you can't get in. The water is up to your neck. I had to let out a rope to get in. Please tell me to pull up the rope. I can't pull it up anymore."

Seeing Leng Ruoxue's wet hair, Grandma Jiang felt distressed, "Go and dry your hair quickly, and cover yourself with the quilt. Are you frozen?"

"It's OK. I took off my coat and went down. Grandma, go call Uncle Liu. It will be dark soon and the road will be difficult to walk on. I'll go into the house to change clothes."

"Go quickly, grandma, go call someone, you take a good rest"

Leng Ruoxue went into the house, changed her inner clothes, wet them with water, and then lay down with peace of mind.

Grandma Jiang came back and started cooking, but Leng Ruoxue didn't get up to help.

Then I heard the sound of the cow moving and felt relieved.

After more than an hour, when it was almost dark, the sound of the ox cart returning was heard.

Liu Ruxu entered the room first and touched Leng Ruoxue's head. "Child, why are you so opinionated? If anything happens to you, how can I live?"

After saying that, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands.

"Mom, you're back!"

Leng Ruoxue pretended to have just woken up.

Seeing Leng Ruoxue woke up, Liu Ruxu hugged Leng Ruoxue and burst into tears.

"Mom, I just went to take a look and didn't expect to get any vegetables out. I didn't expect the water was that deep and it was easy to get to the valley. Then I picked the vegetables out."

"If I felt it was dangerous, I wouldn't go. Can't you see I'm tied up with a rope?"

Leng Ruoxue comforts Liu Ruxu.

"Don't do this next time, it's so dangerous."

Liu Ruxu hugged Leng Ruoxue even tighter.

“Well, I won’t go there anymore.”

Liu Ruxu felt better then. "Take a good rest. I'll bring you some food."

"No, I just had a good sleep and nothing happened. I'm in good spirits and it's a good time to go out and take a look."

Leng Ruoxue put on her coat and shoes, then pulled Liu Ruxu out the door.

When I went out, I found that everyone was wiping the water off the melons with cloths.

"Ruoxue, you kid, don't dare to go there next time. Your uncle went down to take a look and found that the water is quite deep."

Grandma Jiang scolded Leng Ruoxue.

"There's nothing down there, I definitely won't go there."

Leng Ruoxue picked up a piece of cloth and started to help wipe it.

"Ruoxue, sit down and have a good rest. You must be exhausted!"

Grandpa Wang snatched the cloth from Leng Ruoxue's hand and stopped her from wiping it.

"Your uncle and I pulled the rope up, but unfortunately, all the melons were gone. They must have been washed away by the water. How could you be so brave as a girl to pull so many melons up?"

"Although there is not much food at home, with the addition of wild vegetables, we can wait until the vegetables are grown in the fields."

Grandpa Wang strongly disapproved of Leng Ruoxue's behavior.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't do anything I'm not sure of. My life is much more valuable than this melon. Didn't I tell you how much our melons cost per pound?"

"Well, I can't go there anymore. How much does this melon cost per pound?"

Seeing that Leng Ruoxue was obedient, Grandpa Wang didn't say much.

"50 Wen per pound"

Liu Datong kept wondering how this girl could be so strong. Although there was a rope, the melons were not light. There were more than 100 of them, weighing 5 to 6 kilograms.

I just interrupted when I heard Uncle Wang asking about the price.

"But I sold the remaining 40 wen per pound later."

"what?"

Grandpa Wang and Liu Ruxu were shocked.

Grandma Jiang looked at the old man's surprised expression with amusement.

"How can the price be so high? In the past, the price in the town was only 2 cents."

Farm vegetables don’t cost much, so most people grow their own food in their backyards.

"The price in the county town is higher. The drought has just eased and there is nothing to produce from the fields, so the price is high. We will share the money after dinner, so we still need to have some money in our hands!"

Leng Ruoxue's eyes narrowed as she smiled.

"Grandma, we can't eat these melons anymore. We have to sell them!"

Grandpa Wang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"I can't bear that. I'd rather eat wild vegetable porridge."

Grandma Jiang gave the old man an amused look.

After wiping the melon, everyone finished their meal in a few bites, waiting eagerly for Leng Ruoxue.

"The money is with Uncle Liu, and he divided it among us. I took two taels of silver and wanted to buy something, but I didn't find anything particularly suitable, so I didn't touch it."

Leng Ruoxue took out the two taels of silver she had brought.

Liu Datong had already calculated it several times in his mind.

They reported the sales proceeds and expenses, and in the end, each family received 3 taels and 4 qian of silver.

Liu Ruxu put her family's money in front of Leng Ruoxue and said, "Girl, take it."

Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll see if I can buy some cheap things while prices are unstable now. If not, I'll return them to my mother."

"We survived this famine, but we had more food and earned more money."

Grandpa Wang sighed.

"It's all thanks to your two children. Tomorrow morning, you should sell these melons. These melons were brought back by Ruoxue. We won't share the money we sell this time."

Grandpa Wang felt that he and his wife had taken advantage of such a big deal and couldn’t take advantage of it any further.

"I won't share any more, I'll give them all to you."

Liu Datong had the same idea.

"That won't do. We all worked hard to earn this, so we have to share it."

Leng Ruoxue insisted on breaking up.

Grandpa Wang and Liu Datong insisted not to.

"Mother, you say"

Several people argued for a long time, and Grandpa Wang looked at Liu Ruxu.

"I'll listen to my daughter," he said and then laughed.

Everyone laughed too.

"Well, this time we will still share it among ourselves. I said before that the ox cart would be given to our family. Originally, I meant that we would share it among ourselves after selling it. The ox cart would not be shared, but the money for vegetables would still be shared among our family."

"Besides, there is no rush to go to the county town so soon. We can dig up more wild vegetables. They can also be sold at a price, but the price probably won't be that high. This should be our last time to sell vegetables in the county town."

After hearing Leng Ruoxue say this, everyone agreed.

Leng Yuxuan had fallen asleep long ago. He had enough food to eat and wild vegetables to dig, but he was not interested in knowing about money.

Everyone slept well that night, and early the next morning, they all started digging wild vegetables together, leaving the vegetable fields unattended.

With water, the wild vegetables dug up a day or two ago will not be so wilted. They are all washed clean, neatly arranged, and stacked in handfuls.
