Zhao Qiqi raised an eyebrow: "Why, do you still want me to feed you personally?"

"No... no." She stammered. Can I eat such delicious white rice? Thinking about it, my mouth was watering unconsciously. It was so delicious.

You know, she can't even eat rye normally.

"Mom, I can't eat so much. Let me give you half." Even if she was given such a good thing as white rice, she wouldn't dare to eat so much, and her mother always wanted to eat the most.

"Don't eat it anymore." Zhao Qiqi said without raising his head.

Since her mother had said so, Hu Lan quickly ate the rice. She knew that her mother always kept her word.

Zhao Qiqi looked at the white rice...there was not even any vegetable, and she had no appetite. However, she ate all the tasteless and bitter wild vegetables. This was much more delicious than the wild vegetables.

Fortunately, there was a crab to go with the meal.

No one else eats this because they think it has a fishy smell, is small, and has little meat.

"You guys, follow me to the mountain to find something to eat."

Hu Lan felt like crying but had no tears. She knew that she would not have the next meal after this one... She should have hidden some secretly.

Several sons responded in unison.

"Dashuan's wife will stay at home to take care of Xiaowu and feed her porridge when she wakes up."

There are many trees on the mountain, and there is some water flowing out under the shade of the trees.

There was a place where the light was blocked by leaves and the grass was lush. Zhao Qiqi went over and turned over the grass.

It's taro! She loves to eat it, it's delicious with rice or porridge!

"Da Shuan, Er Sha, San Tu, and Si Pang, go and cut down these taro plants. Only the stems are needed, not the leaves."

Several people were as if facing a great enemy, with terrified faces, and wanted to pull her back, but they did not dare to touch her.

"What's wrong? You don't listen to your mother?" Zhao Qiqi deliberately put on a stern face and looked at them ferociously. She thought to herself, these bad boys actually stopped her from going after her appetizers.

"Mom, this can't be eaten." As the eldest brother, Dashuan mustered up the courage to explain things to Zhao Qiqi, fearing that he would offend her and make her angry.

"Yes, mother, this is not edible. Two years ago, a man was really short of food and came to eat this. He died soon after."

There was fear of Yuhe in their eyes, and they didn't even dare to touch her.

Zhao Qiqi smiled and said, "This is taro, it's not poisonous. I'm afraid that person ate calla lily."

"Yoho? Mom, what is this?"

The original body was pretty nice to Si Pang, and now he has the courage to ask.

"Don't worry about it. Just do as I say. Taro has fewer and rounder leaves, while calla lilies have more and thinner leaves. Whoever picks fewer will not have dinner tonight."

Don't want to eat? Does mother have any food left? Several people didn't dare to ask anymore. They carefully checked which one was a calla lily and which one was a taro, fearing that they would make a mistake and die accidentally.

In fact, Zhao Qiqi had already seen clearly that these were all taro, and there was no need for them to distinguish them so carefully.

She took advantage of this time to keep them here to work so that she would have time to find out what the system wanted. Until now, she still hasn't figured out the system's routine.

If she knew what the system wanted, it would give her confidence to stay here.

[Ding! A wild Polygonum multiflorum plant was found]

Zhao Qiqi squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the red marked area, turned over the weeds covering it, and found that it was indeed the leaves of Polygonum multiflorum.

She dug with great interest, and the system prompted her that it could be sold for money!

He was digging the soil while humming a little tune.

The soil was a bit hard, but once dug out, a large piece was found, and soon the Polygonum multiflorum covered with soil was dug out.

It’s not very big, and I guess it won’t sell for much.

[Wild natural Polygonum multiflorum is 40 wen per pound, and 20 wen for half a pound. Are you selling it?]

【confirm】

Now she has 110 coins in her hand.

She searched all over but found nothing. It was also because she didn't have enough food and her legs were weak so she couldn't walk far. It wouldn't be too late to come up and take a look next time.

When they got back there, the four boys had already cut down all the taro in that patch. They were quite skillful.

When they saw Zhao Qiqi coming back, they hurriedly called for their mother.

She nodded: "Take everything with you, and we'll go back."

After thinking about it, I added: "Take some of these leaves with you as well."

Everyone else followed suit.

Zhao Qiqi's house has three rooms, and hers is the largest. One room is occupied by her three brothers and her youngest daughter, and the other is occupied by her eldest son and his wife. It is located closest to the mountain. Water flows down from the mountain, separating Gujia Village and Zhaojia Village.

Although they are located upstream of the river and have good water resources, they only have a few acres of land. The geology of these acres is poor, with rough gravel all over, making it impossible to grow crops.

Zhao Qiqi just looked down and saw that this was the alluvial fan learned in high school geography.

Now that a few people were coming down the mountain, an auntie saw them and came over to say hello.

He didn't want to say hello, but to ridicule her.

Aunt Zhang guessed that Aunt Zhao must have run out of food at home, so she went up the mountain to find food.

"Hey, Aunt Zhao, this isn't the case in this family. They even eat calla lilies." When she took a closer look, she realized that they were calla lilies. She thought to herself that this woman was really ignorant and didn't know what was going on!

Two years ago, a man died after eating this. The village chief hired a doctor but he died before he could see him. Since then, they dare not eat anything they don't recognize from the mountains.

So even if there are a lot of useful things in the mountains, no one goes to dig them up, and no one dares to take the risk.

Zhao Qiqi smiled but didn't explain. It was useless to explain now.

"Aunt Zhang fetches water herself?"

This is upstream, close to the mountain, and there is a well.

There was no water originally. Everyone used to drink water from the river. Now the river has dried up, so the village chief had to find someone to dig it out.

"I am old now and I don't have a son to help me fetch water. If you need it, I will ask my Dashuan to help you. Dashuan is very strong and it won't be a big deal."

Zhao Qiqi smiled, and Aunt Zhang was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Isn't it just giving birth to four sons? What's the big deal? Now my husband can't come back! Isn't it just a widow!

Aunt Zhang didn't even bother fetching water. She turned around and left with the bucket.

The sons were used to it. Their mother would never let herself suffer any injustice. It was just dealing with Aunt Zhang, which was nothing.

I don’t know where Aunt Zhang gets the courage from. Every time my mother makes her so mad at me, she still comes to ask for scolding.
