Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by the bamboo basket in their hands, Shi Liu reached out and brushed away the wild vegetables covering her face.

"I found these when I was digging wild vegetables in the mountains. I saw that the birds were eating them and it was okay, so I brought them back and thought of planting some to give it a try."

Taohua was stunned when she heard this. She remembered that she had told Yang Xiuying before to look among the treasures to see if there was any food that was easy to grow, had high yields, and could fill the stomach.

Also, before my mother left, she called Shi Liu away. Why did Shi Liu suddenly go to pick wild vegetables?

Is this the food my mother found?

Tian Guilan, who had been standing by and watching, saw something that looked like a stone in the pomegranate bamboo basket and said with a smile, "It's only been a few days since we separated from the family, and we can't even eat vegetable porridge. We're so poor that we have to eat stones."

Mother Zhao raised her lips and continued, "Didn't you dislike wild vegetable porridge before the family split up? Now that you can't even eat wild vegetable porridge, you must be regretting it."

Yang Xiuying lost the Zhao family with her children and could only wait to starve to death.

Zhou Dazhu continued, "Look at them. They're even eating stones. What can they offer us in exchange for rice? They're just liars."

Mrs. Sun looked at the things in the pomegranate bamboo basket that looked a bit like stones. They looked like sweet potatoes, but she had never seen such sweet potatoes before.

The skin seemed to still be red. Thinking that the children's mother was not at home, he kindly advised: "Pomegranate, you can't eat anything you don't recognize on the mountain, especially the red ones. Generally, foods that are too bright may be poisonous.

It's like a mushroom. Your mother is not here. What if it's poisonous? "

Taohua picked up something that looked like a stone from the bamboo basket. She was sure that this was the food her mother found from the treasure.

"I dug this up in the mountains before. We can feed some to our chickens first. If it's not poisonous, we can plant it."

When the fourth child heard that the food was to be fed to the chickens and ducks, he thought that those were the fat chickens and ducks that he had fed with great difficulty, so he wanted his eldest sister to give them to the birds in the forest. Just like the black truffles he had discovered, he only dug some back to feed the chickens and ducks after the birds in the forest had eaten them and they were fine.

Aunt Sun looked at the fist-sized, stone-like thing in the bamboo basket. If it was really edible, it would be one more kind of food. It would be better than letting the child eat wild vegetable porridge every meal, and it would also be one more kind of food to change.

"Taohua, let the animals in the mountains eat some first and see if it's not poisonous. Give some to Auntie and we'll plant some too."

Several women looked at the new species in the bamboo basket and discussed it.

"I wonder if this is a fruit similar to Guanyin soil?"

"Can Guanyin soil grow this thing?"

"I think this looks similar to a sweet potato. Didn't you hear the second girl say it was dug out of the ground?"

"I wonder how it tastes when cooked?"

"It's good enough to be edible, who would expect the taste?"

"Is this cooked?"

Shi Liu looked at the aunts and smiled. Her mother told her that this thing was called sweet potato.

Not only can it be cooked with rice, it can also be roasted and eaten. It is sweet and sticky. In summer, after being cut into strips and dried, it becomes a snack. It can not only be cooked and eaten, but also roasted, and eaten raw.

Not only is it easy to grow and has no requirements for water and soil, it also has a strong sense of fullness.

Seeing that he had successfully diverted everyone's attention, Ma Ergun relaxed again.

"Think about it, they have to go up the mountain to dig for food they have never seen before. How can they still provide food for everyone?"

Wang Shufang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief, also joined the discussion about this stone-like object. Compared to everyone else, she was more concerned about whether this thing was edible.

When he met Deng Defa, he couldn't say anything, because he was his father-in-law's youngest uncle, and he always used seniority to speak. How could he not say anything to the lazy Ma Ergun?

She put her hands on her hips and started cursing at Ma Ergun: "Your family can hardly afford even porridge, and you still look down on these foods. I think you can only wait to starve to death, and even if you die, you will be a starving ghost.

If I had your free time, I would go to the mountains and pick more wild vegetables so I wouldn't starve. Trading milk fruit for someone else's chicken is such an unreasonable thing that only you can think of."

Ma Ergun looked at Zhou Dazhui, and Zhou Dazhui turned his neck to avoid his sight.

Ma Zhou Dazhu obviously had no intention of helping her, so she could only lower her head and remain silent. She could still argue with other village women, but when facing the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief, she could only act like a turtle.

Deng Defa was just about to say a few words to help Ma Ergun, but before he could finish his words, he heard Wang Shufen scolding him again: "You are the only ones leading the trouble. Look at which family is as noisy as you. The one who pays the most attention is Mrs. Sun's family, and they didn't make any trouble.

Since you guys can't wait any longer, we can all chip in and give it back to you."

When Zhou Dazhu heard this, he wondered if it was the wild fruits he wanted, but Yang Xiuying's livelihood, the silver and rice he wanted.

"We are different from you. Your family has no worries about food. Even if Yang Xiuying deceived everyone, she wouldn't have the guts to deceive the village chief's family as well."

Shi Liu saw that only a few families wanted to withdraw, and he knew that he had completed the task assigned to him by A Niang. No one would suspect him if he took out the sweet potatoes in the future. It was almost the time he had agreed with A Niang.

Now we must quickly clear out those who are leading the trouble and return their milk fruit and fern.

Otherwise, when A Niang brings the food, these people will definitely not retreat.

A'niang said that the person who started the trouble should be removed from the acquisition list forever, so as to prevent future troubles.

"Okay, everyone, stop talking." Shi Liu put the bamboo basket aside and said to the villagers, "Buy and sell freely. If anyone wants to return it, we will push it to you."

Taohua's eyes fell on the few people who were causing trouble and looked at the old village chief: "Since my mother hasn't come back yet, the village chief will make the decision. We will give the milk fruit and fern to everyone.

But my mother hasn’t come back yet…”

Xiuying sold the milk apples and bracken she collected to the system mall. Now the little girls definitely can't afford to give so much to the others.

Sun Huahua walked over to Taohua with a bag in her hand: "I have some here. These were picked by me and my brothers when we went up the mountain early this morning. Do you think you have seen enough?"

"Not enough, I have more here." Aunt Li put down the bamboo basket on her back. "These are the big girls I picked today. Do you think they are enough?"

"And me, I picked some too."

"I took it off too. I sent those few people back. They were making such a fuss."

"Yeah, like it was a big deal."
