Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 61

After setting the trap, everyone ate some dry food and moved from the mountain to the river. A huge net was set up downstream to cut off the fish's offspring - once a flood came, who knew which village would benefit from the fish in their village, so it would be better to catch them all in one go without having to consider whether or not to leave any offspring.

But there are a lot of fish in this river, and Jiang Lizheng releases fish into the river every year.

While the adults were catching fish, the half-grown children were digging up rocks and looking for snails by the nearby stream. They would not let go of anything as thick as their little finger. Some snails were unwilling to be caught and would crawl out of the small bamboo basket. After finally climbing to the mouth of the basket, they were suddenly and ruthlessly suppressed by a pair of small hands. Their black little bodies fell straight back to the bottom of the basket, feeling extremely helpless.

If you are lucky, you may even be able to touch a small crab. These little creatures don’t have much meat, but they taste very sweet when cooked into porridge.

Jiang Xiaomi stepped into the water wearing shoes and socks, and together with Jiang Xiubai, they caught a full bamboo basket of snails. Jiang Xiubai hung the bamboo basket diagonally on his waist and was in a good mood. These wild little things were very expensive, at thirty-five yuan per pound.

This bamboo basket weighs at least ten kilograms.

[Host, there is a large area of ​​myrtle on the mountain 300 meters ahead, 20 cents per pound, you are going to make a small fortune.] The system said.

Jiang Xiubai: “!!!”

This system dog is not an ordinary dog. It actually said that he is going to make a small fortune!

How could Jiang Xiubai not be happy!

"Are there any myrtles on that mountain? Do you know what they are?" Jiang Xiubai pointed to the not-so-high mountain in front and asked Jiang Xiaomi.

"Myrtle..." Jiang Xiaomi searched her limited professional knowledge and said, "I have some impression of it. It seems to be called "nianzi" in the local dialect. It tastes good, but it is not easy to digest. Eating too much will cause constipation."

"Twenty cents a pound!"

"…Go! Pick it!"

"Aunt Xiaomi..." Jiang Ni called out softly, "Are you going to Nianziping?"

"Where are you talking about?" Aunt Jiang Xiaomi pointed.

"Yeah." Jiang Ni nodded: "Can I...come with you?"

As he said this, he looked at Jiang Xiubai carefully.

"Sure!" Jiang Xiaomi said.

"Let's go too. This snail nest has been cleared out."

A group of teenagers told their fathers/uncles to prevent the snails from escaping, tied the lid of the bamboo basket tightly, and then changed the bamboo basket and went up the mountain.

Jiang Ni breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother told her to get along well with Aunt Xiao Mi. Although she didn't know how to do it, it would be detrimental to Aunt Xiao Mi's reputation if she was so old and played alone with Uncle Xiao Bai all day.

"Wow!" Jiang Xiubai looked at the fruit in front of him. No, is this a fruit? No, it is not, it is white silver!

Nianziping, as the name suggests, is a hillside covered with Nianziping trees, some tall and some short. The fruits of the Nianziping trees that have been cut down will be bigger and sweeter the next year.

Now is the season when the taro fruit matures. The black and red taro fruit is sweet, but the fruit is dyed. After eating a few, your teeth will turn purple.

A group of young boys and girls were grinning with red faces, and they looked really funny.

The fruit of the twisted apple can be eaten as fruit, dried, or used to make wine. During the slack season in the countryside, if the villagers can't finish eating them, they will take them to the town to exchange for some money to supplement their family income.

Jiang Xiaomi's family has several large jars of twisted wine that were brewed seven or eight years ago.

The more taro they picked, the more they picked. If it weren't for the affectionate call of the famous name from the foot of the mountain, Jiang Xiaomi and the others really wouldn't want to go home.
