Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

It was already past lunch time and both of them were very hungry.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't ask Lan Ying to cook either.

She directly bought two small pots of rice noodles, one for each person.

He handed the small pot of rice noodles to Lan Ying who had cleaned up, and started eating.

Because of the addition of chili peppers and pickled vegetables, it tastes sour and spicy and satisfying.

"Madam, this rice noodle is better than the one cooked by the cook in the mansion."

Because there are so many people, even if people eat rice noodles in the mansion, they usually eat beef rice noodles or local chicken rice noodles.

It’s the first time I eat this kind of small pot rice noodles.

"This is a small pot of rice noodles, sour and spicy, very satisfying."

"Yes."

Lan Ying was laughing because of the spiciness, but it didn't stop her from finishing the whole pot of rice noodles.

It’s really delicious to eat noodles.

He bought two more bottles of soda and handed them to Lan Ying.

"Drink this, it goes perfectly with the small pot of rice noodles."

"Wow, what is this? It makes my tongue flick. I can't describe the feeling. My mouth feels messy."

"Hahaha, this is sparkling water, that's what it is."

After they finished their meal, they rested for a while in the RV.

Decided to start climbing the mountain.

The two men put on light boots and tied their trouser legs with strips of cloth.

Zhao Yuanzhen put away the carriage and the RV. The mountain road was rugged and the RV couldn't go up.

Lan Ying had always known that the lady was extraordinary, but this was the first time she saw Zhao Yuanzhen using space so lavishly; it was simply a magical skill.

Madam must be a deity, because only deities know magical powers.

I am so lucky to be a maid of the gods.

Seeing Lan Ying's dazed look, Zhao Yuanzhen called her.

"Let's go, what are you doing?"

"Yes, ma'am, I am here."

Zhao Yuanzhen was scanning, scanning the mountains within a 50-kilometer radius, focusing on minerals, followed by medicinal materials or other treasures.

Maybe if you're lucky, you might find treasure from some dynasty.

The two of them kept walking on the mountain road and climbing the mountain.

When you feel tired, find a place to sit down and rest for a while, then continue walking.

We scanned until the evening but found no minerals. We did find a few medicinal herbs, but they were not very old.

Zhao Yuanzhen dug up the soil and put it into the space, thinking of planting it later.

This mineral is indeed not so easy to find, but she did not lose heart. She thought that if she took her time, she would find it eventually.

The two men found a relatively flat place, put out the RV and the horses, let them eat grass, drink water and exercise.

Ask Lan Ying to stew some beef with tomatoes and then stir-fry some vegetables, and cook rice yourself.

The tomato beef is stewed in a casserole on a small clay stove, and the vegetables are stir-fried in a small iron pan.

She went straight into the space, bought an electric rice cooker, and cooked the rice using the generator in the space.

Lan Ying stewed the beef and started wandering around the area.

See if there are any wild vegetables, mushrooms or something.

There were a lot of wild vegetables, and she picked out the tender ones and dug some.

Especially shepherd's purse, we dug up a lot of it.

She washed and cut the shepherd's purse, and asked Zhao Yuanzhen for a piece of pork, planning to make shepherd's purse and pork filling to make some wontons.

Pack more and ask your wife to keep it so she can cook it when she is busy.

Zhao Yuanzhen had nothing to do, so she went to take a walk around the area to see if she could come across some wild game.

It was probably night time when they encountered a pheasant. The pheasant was very quiet and Zhao Yuanzhen caught it easily.

He looked at the pheasant in his hand with disdain. Would he become stupid if he ate this pheasant?

When she got back, Lan Ying was making wontons, so she boiled some water and started killing a pheasant.

Clean the pheasant, put it in a basin, and put it in the space to eat tomorrow.

By the time Lan Ying’s wontons were wrapped, the beef was almost done stewing.

Zhao Yuanzhen packed out two kinds of pickled vegetables. These pickled vegetables were pickled by the cook in the farm and were very refreshing.

The custom-made folding wooden table and chairs were placed next to them. Lan Ying fried the vegetables and brought them up, along with the beef in a casserole.

Zhao Yuanzhen put the rice noodles in the space into a small wooden basin and took it out.

After adding more rice, the two began to eat.

Two small kimchi dishes, a pot of beef stew, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables were all eaten up.

The main reason was that I did too much exercise in the afternoon and climbed the mountain for the whole afternoon.

After dinner, Lan Ying washed all the dishes.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out two lounge chairs and lay down next to the RV, looking at the stars.

Lan Ying finished cleaning up and came over to lie down with her.

"Madam, let me boil some hot water and wash your feet to relieve your fatigue."

"No, you've been tired all day. I used the clay stove in the car to cook a lot during the day and saved it. Go get two basins and we can both soak our feet."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lan Ying went to the washroom in the car and took out two wooden basins. The two of them looked at the stars and soaked their feet comfortably.

Maybe I was too tired, I felt so sleepy after soaking my feet.

Zhao Yuanzhen put away the horses, then got into the RV and prepared to go to sleep.

After packing up her things, Lan Ying sprinkled insect repellent around the RV and got into the RV.

The two of them each had a bed, changed into slippers and pajamas and went to sleep.

The next day, she was awakened by the sound of birds singing in the mountains. She glanced at the system and saw that it was just past five o'clock, so she turned over and fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was past 7 o'clock.

Lan Ying had already boiled water outside and dug up some wild vegetables and prepared them all.

Seeing her coming down, I took the wontons from her and prepared to eat them early.

Lan Ying’s wontons have thin skin and large fillings. The ingredients are plenty and they are cooked in large quantities. You can feel full just by eating the wontons.

When it was cooked, Zhao Yuanzhen took a bowl, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and coriander, poured vinegar and soy sauce, added a little dried shrimp and seaweed, and a spoonful of chili oil.

"This is called sour soup wontons. Put a spoonful of soup first, then the wontons. It tastes very refreshing."

"Okay, ma'am, I learned it. Next time I cook wontons, I'll do it this way."

The two of them ate a big bowl of wontons, packed up their things, and prepared to continue exploring for minerals.

This mountain range is very large, and it took Zhao Yuanzhen and Lan Ying five days to explore it completely.

Unfortunately, apart from some medicinal herbs, minerals are a non-existent.

Zhao Yuanzhen was not discouraged. If there was nothing on this mountain, there might be something on the next mountain.

When we reached the flat foot of the mountain, we started harnessing the carts and continued on our way.

Lan Ying was driving the car while Zhao Yuanzhen was in it. They entered the space and began to organize various books, prescriptions, and other knowledge of future generations that might be useful.

After advancing for another two days, they reached the next mountain range, but had not yet left the border of the Jin Kingdom.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they changed their shoes, tied their legs, and started climbing the mountain with hiking sticks.

Her scan is automatic every 50 kilometers, regardless of land or plains, mountains or rivers.

When you get to the top of the mountain, go and take a look at any big green dots you see. There's a high chance they're medicinal herbs. Zhao Yuanzhen has dug them out and put them into the space.

On the third day of scanning this mountain range, a mineral deposit was discovered.

Zhao Yuanzhen followed the scanning results and found a road in the middle of a mountain range not far away.

When they arrived at the mountain range, Zhao Yuanzhen asked the system to scan it in detail.

It is a copper ore.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very happy as she finally found her first mine.

Lan Ying had no idea that her wife was looking for minerals. She thought Zhao Yuanzhen was looking for medicinal herbs.

At this moment, the lady's eyebrows suddenly curved and she smiled happily.

Is this a ginseng that is hundreds of years old?

So happy.

After looking around, Zhao Yuanzhen took Lan Ying and left.

We found a flat area and put the RV and horses out.

"Lan Ying, you cook here, I'll go take a look around."

"Okay, ma'am."

Lan Ying looked at the existing ingredients and prepared to stew pheasant and mushrooms.

Then stir-fry some tender wild vegetables.

Zhao Yuanzhen went back to the mineral mountain range.

"System, how much does this copper mine system recycle?"

She didn't ask whether the system would charge or not, but directly asked how much it would cost.

Because she had read in a book before that these systems traveled through time and space to complete missions for various resources and luck.

Therefore, she concluded that the system would definitely accept it.

"Reporting to the host, after investigation, we found that this copper mine has 85 tons of copper ore, which can produce about 40 tons of copper. The system recycling price is 4200 million points."

"4200 million? That's a bit too little."

She thought a copper mine like this would be worth hundreds of millions.

"Host, we convert the points according to the value of copper."

According to the calculation in the system, one ton of copper is about RMB 8, which is converted into points at 800 RMB per point.

The price was quite reasonable. She remembered that the price of copper in her previous life was about the same.

"Okay, so how do you collect the copper?"

We can't just move this section of the mountain range away, that would be too harsh.

"Host, we scan and locate the ore, upload the information, and then extract the copper from the ore."

Okay, as long as it’s not like moving mountains.

“How long will it take to complete?”

"It will take about 8 hours to get back to the host."

"Should I wait for you here?"

"Return to the host, no need, you are at the RV parking lot, I can also scan and extract it."

OK, pretty smart.

"Okay, then I'll go back and sell the minerals to you. Give me the money, and you can handle the rest yourself."

I don’t know how they set this rule, but you can sell it once you discover it yourself.

So maybe one day the imperial palace could be sold as well?

Next time when you sell minerals, you should be more careful. Don’t sell those that are too valuable.

Looking at the 4200 additional points in her account, she felt that all her efforts in searching for minerals over mountains and hills over the past few days were worth it.

She now has more than 4.7 million points.

I am still 0.3 million away from the first item I want to buy.

Ever since the points arrived, Zhao Yuanzhen has been feeling nervous and trembling with fear.

She felt that things would not be so simple. She had been punished for taking out items that were not from this world before. Now that she had sold such a large mine, there was no reaction.

She was a little uneasy.

When we returned to the RV, Lan Ying had already cooked the meal. After dinner, we got back into the RV without looking at the stars.

Because she was worried and not in a good mood, she went to bed early.

There must be something that I don't know, otherwise if I sold the palace, wouldn't it cost hundreds of billions?

Unable to figure it out, she looked through the system to see if there were any books that could give her some hints.
