Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

When I woke up again, it was already daybreak. I stayed in bed for a while, thought about it, and decided to go to the mountain to have a look today. I was too rushed yesterday. Today I can go to the place where Gastrodia elata was found and take another look.

When I got up, I woke up Dabao and Xiaobao, and the two kids got up with me. One went to fetch water, and the other went to the stove to light the fire for me. They were so well-behaved. I didn’t even get married in my previous life, but I skipped marriage in this life and had two babies this big, saving the pain of pregnancy and childbirth. It’s pretty good!

Pour the pork bone soup from last night into a ceramic bowl, wash the pot and heat it up. After thinking about it, I cut the dandelions into pieces and blanched them in water, then added a little oil and flour to it, and put a little salt to make wild vegetable cakes.

A few minutes later, the aroma of wild vegetables came out. The pork bones and wild vegetable cakes were refreshing and comfortable. After a quick breakfast, I told him about my plan to go into the mountains again. Dabao decided to go with me, and Xiaobao stayed behind to look after the house. Xiaobao was not happy and pouted. I squatted down and said to him:

"Xiaobao, you know it's important for you to look after the house. We bought some food yesterday. If there's no one looking after the house, if a thief comes and takes it all away, we won't have anything to eat. So you have to look after our things and don't let people and cats and dogs come in and ruin the food!"

Xiaobao lowered his head: "Mom, Xiaobao also wants to help you."

"But Xiaobao, if we leave together, there will be no one to look after our things at home. What if a thief comes and takes all our things? What do you think we should do? So Xiaobao, you have to keep an eye on our things at home. This is a big favor for the bridesmaid."

"Really? Then mom and brother, please come back soon. Xiaobao will miss you."

"Really, Xiaobao, please take good care of the things at home. I will feel at ease when my brother and I go out." It is really difficult for him to have such a young child at home. It will not work if there is no one to take care of him at home.

"Okay, then come back early, mother."

I hardened my heart, called Dabao, and walked towards the place where we found Gastrodia elata yesterday.

The air was a little bit cool in the morning, so Dabao and I walked very fast. Dabao was running fast, probably because he was excited by the money he earned yesterday. He shouted on the road as he walked, "Mom, hurry up."

Seeing the boy's more lively figure, my mood was also affected, and I felt much better: "Okay, I'll be faster!" I answered while quickening my pace.

When I came to the place I had been to yesterday, I searched around carefully again. It was really good. I found a lot of wild ginger and a bunch of wild onions. There was also a pepper tree, but the peppers on it were not yet old, so I couldn't pick them yet. With these things, I can make the dishes taste better.

"Mom, why are you digging these grasses? What are they? What are they used for?" Dabao picked up the wild ginger I dug and asked me.

"For eating! This is wild ginger, for cooking. I'll go back and fry it for you guys."

“Is it more delicious than yesterday’s?”

"Of course, adding this wild ginger will make it taste better than yesterday's stir-fry."

Dabao was so happy that he started looking for it nearby. After a while, he pulled out a handful of long Teng and asked, "Mom, look at this, what is this? Can I eat it?"

I took a closer look and couldn't help laughing. "Where did you find this? This is a good thing, it's called sweet potato, its leaves, buds, and stems are all very delicious. Take me to see, are there a lot?"

"Mom, there's a big piece over there. Let me take you to see it!"

After Dabao finished speaking, he turned around and took me to a large patch of thorny plants. He cut a hole in the middle of the plants and went in. He looked back and saw that it was difficult for me to go in, so he cut the hole a little bigger. I followed the hole to the inside. Maybe because there were many thorny plants, there was a valley where no one had ever walked. On the low-lying flat ground, there was a large patch of sweet potato vines, and in the distance there was a large patch of fresh wild celery. There were also lotus leaves popping out of the puddles. There was also a patch of wild taro next to it. If it was autumn, this would really be a harvest land blessed by God.

I picked up a branch and knocked along the cliff. I turned around and found a lot of pinellia, coptis, asparagus, and two gastrodia. Thanks to the plant knowledge I learned on the Internet, I know everything. Others have golden finger spaces when they travel through time, but I have nothing. I feel a little depressed when I think about it.

"Mom, are there any good things here? If so, let's dig them all back." Dabao looked at me with shining eyes and asked me excitedly.

"Dabao, this is the Gastrodia elata we dug yesterday. This is Pinellia ternata, this is Coptis chinensis, and those plants with tiny leaves climbing on the tree over there are Asparagus cochinchinensis. Take them all back. Also, pick a few more handfuls of the tender leaves of the sweet potato vine and use them to cook vegetables."

"Okay, mom, I'll use a hoe to dig it out, and you can just pick it up slowly from behind if you want," the young man said quickly and skillfully.

After two hours, almost everything that could be dug out was cleaned up. One backpack could no longer hold it.

I looked around and saw some vines falling from the cliff. I pulled them and found they were very firm: "Dabao, let's weave a backpack, so it will be more convenient to take things!" Mom, which one do you want?

I pointed out the vines, and the boy quickly pulled down a bunch of them. I used a knife to remove the extra branches and started to weave them. Dabao also followed my example and made a small one with vines. Mine was just finished weaving.

His is almost finished. This child has a very good memory. I will send him to school if I have the chance.

He knew what the thing meant as long as he heard it once. He kept this idea in mind and put all the herbs they dug and the wild vegetables they picked in the backpack with Dabao.

I used a hoe to dig up the sweet potato vines a little bit and saw that the sweet potatoes were sprouting. Now is not the time to harvest. If there was land, I could pull up some sweet potato vines and plant them at home, but it is not possible now. It seems that I should find a way to buy some land and plant some sweet potatoes in the future.

I put on the backpack and came to the entrance. I picked a handful of wild celery and put it in the basket.

The opening was not high enough for two people to walk straight. So Dabao went out first, and I slowly moved the backpack over, while Dabao pulled from the outside. Soon, all three backpacks, two big and one small, were pulled out, and I also got out from the opening.

Seeing today's harvest, Dabao's face flushed with joy, "Mom, if we sell them tomorrow, will we have money again? Then we won't have to starve anymore, right?"

"Yes, Dabao, we will sell them tomorrow and we will have money. Our Dabao is really capable!"

I looked at the boy in front of me with tenderness and a smile on my face, but I couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness. How afraid must he be of starving?

There are three backpacks, I carry one. Dabao carries one and holds one, but he is very excited. If it were in modern society, he would still be a junior high school or high school boy, maybe even a rebellious teenager, but here he has to work hard for a living.

"Dabao, do you like reading?"

"Mom, we don't have any money,"

"So do you like reading?"

"Mom, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, we just need to have enough food to eat." The light in the boy's eyes suddenly went out. I didn't say much. I had saved up money and had silver, so I had to send them to school.
