Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Chapter 3: You treat something that even pigs don't eat as a treasure

Wang subconsciously stood in front of Liu Siyu and carefully walked forward to check.

Liu Siyu was confused and found Wang's behavior hard to understand.

He is usually very ruthless in his words, but his subconscious behavior does not seem to be fake.

The two men walked forward cautiously and saw a gray rabbit looking for fruit to eat in the grass.

Liu Siyu was instantly overjoyed and rushed towards the rabbit first, but she missed.

The rabbit suddenly ran behind the tree, and Wang quickly took a stick to hit it.

The rabbit was very cunning. The two men chased it from left and right but couldn't catch it.

Seeing that the rabbit was about to run away, Liu Siyu picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at it in desperation.

The rabbit stopped moving after being pricked with the needle a few times.

The moment I picked up the rabbit, I found that its mouth had been flattened by the stone.

Wang looked at the place where blood was gushing out of the rabbit's mouth and glanced at Liu Siyu in surprise.

She couldn't help but think that the girl was usually stubborn and sharp-tongued in front of her, but her hands and feet had never been so nimble.

Today's stone really opened her eyes.

Suddenly my heart skipped a beat. I felt that this girl was a little strange.

Liu Siyu did not notice Wang's puzzled expression. She happily took the rabbit and weighed it in her hand. It must have weighed at least three or four kilograms.

I should be able to make some money if I sell it, and even if I keep it for food, it can improve my life.

Thinking about food reminds me of those acorns.

He said to Wang, "I picked up some good things, but I can't carry them. Please help me take them back. I'll give you 10% of the money I make."

Wang retorted angrily.

"What? You need to settle the accounts with me now. Whatever you have eaten and drunk over the years was earned by me."

He said this but didn't stop. He walked a few steps to the backpack and when he saw that they were acorns, he became furious.

"You did this on purpose, girl? Everyone knows that this fruit is bitter and astringent, but you picked it up like a treasure."

Liu Siyu was a little confused. Don’t the people here know that acorns are edible?

Seeing her surprised look, Wang became even angrier and kicked the backpack over.

Looking at the acorns rolling all over the ground, Liu Siyu became furious.

"What the hell are you doing? You kicked over my acorns."

"There are so many chores at home and you don't want to help. Instead, you are looking for trouble for me. Even pigs won't eat these things. Why are you picking them up?"

As Wang said this, she picked up the empty backpack and prepared to go down the mountain.

Liu Siyu calmed herself down and heard from Wang that people here didn't know that acorns were edible.

Her mind suddenly became quickened. If she could do it, this would be a unique business.

The acorns all over the mountains and fields are like the sound of copper coins.

Thinking of this, his tone softened.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Listen to me. The acorns all over the ground are treasures. If you collect them well, they are no worse than flour."

When Wang heard this, she stopped walking, but in the end she couldn't help but sneered.

"How dare you say that? You're not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue off. You actually compare this bitter and astringent fruit with white flour. Do you think the villagers are fools?"

"Let alone compare with white flour, if we can compare with wild vegetables, we won't be able to get the bitter fruits all over the mountain."

Liu Siyu frowned slightly.

Picking acorns is a physical job. Instead of asking others for help, it is better to persuade Wang.

Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she remembered that the original owner knew a few words, so she started to talk nonsense.

"I'm not lying to you. I read this in a book. Not only is it edible, it also has medicinal value."

When Wang heard that he had seen it in a book, her suspicion gradually faded.

"Is it really edible?"

Liu Siyu nodded affirmatively.

Wang picked up an acorn and looked at Liu Siyu suspiciously for a moment.

"Since you know how to eat it, why didn't I hear you tell me before?"

Liu Siyu was speechless for a moment. She couldn't tell the truth, nor could she say nothing.

After a moment's thought, he imitated the original owner and frowned.

"It's my freedom to say it or not. It's none of your business."

After saying that, he grabbed the backpack and said, "You kicked it over, hurry up and help me pick it up."

Wang looked at the angry Liu Siyu with a slight smile on her face. This was the naughty girl she was familiar with.

"Isn't it just knowing a few words? Don't look down on me. You've only read about it in a book and never tried it. How can you know if this fruit is edible?"

Liu Siyu ignored Wang's nagging and thought to herself, when the delicious meal is ready, I'm afraid you will be more enthusiastic than me.

It was already dark when we went down the mountain.

The two of them walked along the mountain road in the faint starlight, taking one step deep and one step shallow.

In the distance, I saw a light that flickered on and off, swaying in the breeze.

At the gate of the fence, Liu Sihan looked anxiously at the way down the mountain. When he saw the two figures, his brows relaxed and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Mom, why are you here so late? What happened?"

"It's all because of your sister..." Wang said halfway and stopped talking as if she thought of something.

Then he turned the topic to the calf, "How is the calf?"

"I'm fine. I'm already breastfeeding," Liu Sihan responded.

Wang was worried, so she put down the backpack and went to the firewood shed with the oil lamp.

"You guys go eat first, I'll go check on the calf."

In the evening, I still have multi-grain porridge.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Siyu got up to deal with the acorns.

It wasn't that she didn't want to sleep a little longer, it was just that the quilt was too hard to keep her warm.

Instead of suffering in bed, it is better to get up early and work.

The sky outside was gloomy, as if raindrops would fall at any time.

Liu Siyu blew some warm air from her hands around her mouth and started to get busy.

If you want to remove the astringency of acorns, you have to peel them completely and soak them in water. This is a slow process and cannot be accomplished in a day or two.

Seeing Liu Siyu peeling the shells one by one, Wang couldn't help but remind her.

"It's too troublesome to peel the shells one by one. It's better to put them in a sack, pound them, and use a winnowing basket to shake out the shells."

Liu Siyu's lips curled up slightly, this is a good idea.

After just a few hits, Liu Sihan also got up. The skinny boy saw Liu Siyu hitting the sack and looked distressed.

"What are you hitting? Don't break the sack."

When Liu Siyu saw the helper coming, she started to order him around without any hesitation.

When Liu Sihan heard that it was an acorn, he hesitated, "The fruit is bitter and astringent, why bother with it?"

"Of course I ate it," Liu Siyu repeated what she had said to Wang.

When Liu Sihan heard that he read it in a book, his eyes were filled with envy.

After a while of thinking, he whispered, "Sister, can you teach me how to read?"

"Of course," Liu Siyu agreed casually.

Liu Sihan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you really willing to teach me how to read?"

Liu Siyu nodded.

"But you have to listen to me. I will teach you how to read after you finish picking up the acorns."

"I will definitely listen to you," Liu Sihan nodded repeatedly.

Her bright eyes stared at Liu Siyu unconsciously, and she felt that her sister was particularly different today.

He had said before that he wanted to learn to read, and his sister laughed at him.

I didn't expect that you would agree so readily today.

In her joy, she mustered up the courage to whisper, "I will listen to you in everything. Can you...can you not hit me in the future?"

Liu Siyu blinked her eyes that looked like black grapes. How could she have the heart to hurt such a well-behaved little guy?

Thinking of the original owner's domineering temper, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Then she raised a sweet smile.

"I had a bad temper before, but I will slowly change it in the future."

When Liu Sihan heard this unsatisfactory promise, a hint of joy unconsciously crept into the corners of his eyes and brows.

When Wang saw this scene, she stared at Liu Siyu for a long time.

Seeing that her face no longer had the usual indifference, nor the previous look of disdain, something in my heart quietly melted.

For the first time, a satisfied smile appeared on that skinny face, and he walked back to the cowshed.

After a while, Wang's surprised cry was heard from the cowshed.

"Oh no, come quickly..."
