Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Li Lanzhen followed the village chief and his entourage to the village chief's home.

The village chief's house has a small yard and seems to live a better life than the surrounding people.

There are one-meter-high mud walls, and houses built with wood and broad leaves on them.

Li Lanzhen was very confused. Even if they were poor, they still had strength. There was no shortage of stones or soil in the mountains. It was close to the sea and there was no shortage of water.

You can also build a mud house by mixing soil and straw into grass mud, which is sturdier than a shed made of wood or grass.

She thought so in her mind, but she didn't ask.

Every place has its own living habits, and she can't guide others on how to live.

We met a group of people at the entrance of the village, young and old, all following the village chief, but they were all standing outside the fence gate of the village chief's house.

The village chief ignored them and took Li Lanzhen into his own yard.

Li Lanzhen found a tree stump and sat down. There was a strong smell of fish in the yard.

Against the fence wall, there were many simple wooden racks filled with large winnowing baskets.

There are fish and shrimps drying inside. The strong fishy smell should come from these drying seafood.

After sitting for a while, a woman who looked to be around 50 years old came over with half a bowl of water.

"Big sister, drink some water."

Li Lanzhen was indeed a little thirsty after walking all the way, so she raised the bowl of water to her lips and prepared to drink.

However, the edge of the bowl was black and not clean, and the fishy smell was so strong that she almost vomited.

But it's already at my lips, and it would be a bit embarrassing not to drink it.

He simply raised his head and all the water flowed into the space.

Pretending to wipe her mouth, she put the bowl down.

Without further ado, he spoke to the village chief directly.

"Village Chief, let me take a look at the dried seafood you are drying."

The village chief hadn't even taken a sip of water when he heard Li Lanzhen wanted to see the dry goods. He hurriedly raised his neck and drank half a bowl of water.

He wiped his mouth, smiled and took her to the next room to see the dried goods they were hanging out to dry.

"My dear sister, please come with me. We usually dry the things in the sun, clean them up and put them in this room.

Almost every household here has stock, it is clean, sanitary and of good quality, you can rest assured."

Li Lanzhen followed the couple in.

I saw that the room was quite large, and the four walls were very solid and airtight.

On the wall facing the yard, there are two small windows, probably used for ventilation. There are three-layer shelves around the wall.

The shelves are all filled with baskets woven from rattan.

There are many sizes, and they have lids on them to block out dust.

Li Lanzhen was very satisfied with this.

The unwashed drinking water bowl made Li Lanzhen very suspicious. The hygiene condition of their dried seafood was worrying!

So she needs to check it more carefully.

The village chief opened the lids of all the baskets, and Li Lanzhen looked at them one by one.

Golden dried shrimps, pink and white shrimp skins, kelp and seaweed, various dried fish, and dried squid.

Golden fish belly, black fat sea cucumber, and dried abalone are complete and light and translucent in color.

The dried scallops are complete in shape, full in texture, and golden in color...

Li Lanzhen grabbed each one in her hand, looked at them carefully, and tapped them a few times in her palm.

There is no sand, it is very clean, and the appearance is complete and full, it looks really good.

I didn’t expect that such a shabby little fishing village had such a good way of processing dried seafood.

When Li Lanzhen was looking at the dried seafood, several eyes were fixed on her.

She didn't care. It must be the village chief and the others who were observing her expression.

Li Lanzhen turned around a few times and clapped her hands.

"Yes, I want everything you have here.

I can exchange it for food, or silver is fine too.

Take a look and see how many of the same quality as yours you have. Give me a number.

Also, give me a number for how much food you want to exchange for the dried seafood."

The village chief had a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

His skin was dark from being blown by the wind for many years, and now when he smiled, black wrinkles appeared on his face.

"My lord, what food have you got?"

"What kind of food do you need?"

When the village chief and others heard Li Lanzhen ask this, they were all stunned.

What does this mean? Does she have whatever food we want?

"Old rice, brown rice, bran, anything is fine, as long as it's edible."

After the village chief finished speaking, several people standing around nodded vigorously, staring at Li Lanzhen, afraid that she would say that there were not so many.

Li Lanzhen felt a little sad when she heard him talk about the grain.

Because I have never eaten white rice or refined flour, even these are luxuries and I dare not say them out loud.

"Yes! We have all these grains. I also have a kind of grain with a relatively high yield, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

You can open up any piece of land on this mountain and plant crops there. You can plant two crops a year."

"Ah, are there any more good seeds like this?"

"How come we haven't heard of this? What are sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Li Lanzhen walked into the yard, picked up the basket under the stone table, and placed it on the stone table.

He lifted the cloth covering the basket and took out a dozen sweet potatoes and potatoes from the space.

"Look, village chief, this is called sweet potato, and this is called potato.

Give me a knife."

A man nearby immediately gave her a long fish-killing knife.

After Li Lanzhen took it, she peeled the sweet potato, cut it into slices, and picked up a slice to eat.

"You guys can eat it too. Try this. This is a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, but that potato cannot be eaten raw."

The village chief and several others quickly reached out their hands and took a piece each, and ate it with a crunching sound, imitating Li Lanzhen's example.

After taking two bites, a few people nodded in surprise, happiness and excitement.

"It's delicious, sweet and very juicy."

Li Lanzhen looked at the fire pit surrounded by mud in the middle of the yard. There was a water-boiling rack on it and a black kettle on the rack.

The village chief's daughter-in-law has already lit a fire and is boiling water.

She picked up the sweet potatoes and potatoes and went over and said, "Village chief, do you have a pot? I can wash them, cut them into pieces, and put them in the pot to cook.

It can be cooked into porridge, or you can cook it whole and eat it like a steamed bun after it is cooked.

You can even roast it in the fire pit and eat it.”

The village chief was happy, "Okay, okay, no more peeling, just wash it clean, just wash it clean.

Your Excellency will have dinner at my house today."

Li Lanzhen wanted to refuse, but she was afraid of the unwashed bowl. What if the rice smelled fishy and she couldn't get it to her mouth?

But faced with such a group of simple and enthusiastic people, it was hard to refuse.

My mind raced and I realized that I could take out a set of bowls and chopsticks from the space.

“Okay, let’s eat at the village chief’s house today.

Then cook and eat all these sweet potatoes and potatoes."

She quickly reached into her backpack and took out a dozen potatoes and sweet potatoes.

I didn't dare take more because if I did I would be exposed.

Then he took out a large bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

Three or four skinny children gathered around the sweet potato peel he had just peeled. Each of them grabbed a piece and stuffed it into their mouths.

Seeing Li Lanzhen coming, she quickly put her hands behind her back and lowered her head shyly.

Li Lanzhen didn't say anything. She took her things and went over to sit on the stool beside the fire pit.
