The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Oh." Tian and Xiao Fushan both understood and nodded. They both felt that Jiang Ningning was very thoughtful.

If they were asked to buy something that their home lacks, they really wouldn't think of this.

Seeing the braised beef and roast chicken, Jiang Shengcai smiled innocently and said, "Brother Fushan, why don't you all share these two things for now? You can all have dinner at our house tonight. It's just right for the two of us to have a good meal. We still have quite a bit of wine you sent us yesterday. After we finish eating, we can see how much is left and then divide it up."

"Yes, yes, yes." Sun kept agreeing.

Tian: "Sure, I have some peanuts at home. I'll get them later and fry them up to go with your wine!"

Xiao Fushan, who loves wine, has already smiled so hard that his teeth are showing.

The sun was still quite high, so the four of them decided to go to the fields and apply some fertilizer. Maybe they could finish it all today.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan wanted to help fertilize, but the four said, "You're not needed. Why don't you stay home and study white fungus? Didn't you say you wanted to study this and see if you can grow it?"

Only then did Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan stay at home obediently.

There was no extra room at home for Jiang Ningning to study white fungus, so Xiao Yan thought the shed in the yard was a good choice.

Jiang Ningning took a look. The shed was connected to the woodshed on one side and backed by a courtyard wall on the other. It was spacious underneath and looked very nice. She nodded and said, "Then let's clean up the shed."

There is some firewood piled under the shed now, and it can all be moved into the woodshed.

"Ah."

After Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan cleaned up the area under the shed, Jiang Ningning could start studying white fungus.

All the basswood, sawdust and other things that were brought back were moved under the shed.

The two remaining white fungus flowers were also taken under the shed.

She had read books about how white fungus was propagated, so of course she knew it.

"Look, this is Tremella fuciformis basidiospores," Jiang Ningning said to Xiao Yan, pointing to the white powder on the surface of the fungus. "When these spores mature, they automatically eject themselves, becoming fungal strains. If they are released and spread to a suitable environment, they will naturally grow into the next generation, which is new Tremella fuciformis."

"The book says," Jiang Ningning continued, "that you need to mix it with ash fungus to get a high yield. If you only use natural Tremella fuciformis spores to grow it, even if there is a suitable growing environment, the yield will be very low, or it may not grow at all."

"Ash mushroom?"

"Well, it's said to be a companion fungus of Tremella. It can help Tremella break down cellulose, lignin and other substances, providing it with necessary nutrients."

"Then how do you get this fungus?" Xiao Yan asked again.

"Since it's a companion fungus, it can be found wherever there's Tremella fuciformis. And this fungus is pretty easy to identify, with its unique appearance. I think it should be easy to get. After all, I still have so many Tremella fuciformis in my space. I'll try to get this fungus from those that haven't been picked yet."

"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded.

Before the sun set, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Tian came back to cook dinner.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan were still tinkering under the shed, but Sun and Tian didn't care and were still smiling happily.

After dinner was ready, seeing that Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan had not returned yet, Tian Shi insisted on going to the fields to check on them, wondering why they had not returned yet.

Sun had originally planned to go together, but Tian said that she could go alone, so Sun did not go.

Sun distributed the snacks to her family, kept a few pieces for her daughter Jiang Ningning, and distributed the rest to the children of those in the village who had helped her family.

Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan saw that there was not much fertilizer left, so they decided to apply it all today, which is why they haven't returned yet.

By the time I finished the application and came back, it was almost dark.

The meal was eaten by lighting an oil lamp.

Although they were very tired, Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan were very happy after taking a sip of wine.

Tian tore off two roasted chicken legs, one for Jiang Ningning and one for Xiao Yan.

Everyone thinks that the braised beef and roast chicken are delicious.

Peanuts are delicious too.

Because they had drunk some wine, Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai spoke openly and frankly at the dinner table.

From now on, I will do the work for whoever has urgent needs first. Since we are one family, I will never say two different things to you.

In short, don't be shy.

Sun's eyes became moist again, but she kept nodding.

Although there were six people eating, not all the dishes were finished, but there was only one roast chicken left.

Sun cut the remaining intact roast chicken into two halves and gave one half to Tian.

"Then it's a deal. I'll help you weed the fields tomorrow!" Xiao Fushan said very heroically.

Sun and Jiang Shengcai were no longer shy and nodded quickly, "Yeah, yeah."

The grass in their fields can't wait any longer, otherwise all the crops will have to be removed.

I did go hoeing the day before yesterday, but because the ground was too hard this year, the hoe handle broke, so I only hoeed a little and came back.

Later, I made a new hoe handle, but the matchmaker came to my house and the engagement was arranged. I was also busy fertilizing the fields today, and fertilizing could not wait, so I didn't take care of the fields.

Tian said, "Wasteland is prone to growing grass, and it grows very fast. It can be very tall after just a few days of absence. If you take good care of it for a few years, it will definitely become better. It may be more difficult, but we are not afraid of hardship anyway."

"Yes, yes, I'm not afraid of hardship, not afraid of hardship." Sun and Jiang Shengcai nodded again. There was no need to be afraid of this kind of hardship. Even if it was bitter, my heart was still happy.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan barely spoke the entire time, but when they heard that the four of them were going to weed the land reclaimed from the wasteland together tomorrow, they looked at each other.

Is God helping them?

They were planning to go to the fields and catch wild boars tomorrow.

……

The next day, both families got up before dawn.

After breakfast, it was already daybreak, but it was still very early, so I was one of the first people in the village to have breakfast.

Originally, Sun and the others planned to have the four of them go to the fields to weed, leaving Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan to study white fungus at home.

But because Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan said that they didn't know whether this thing could be researched or not, it was more important to weed the crops first.

It just so happened that the geese also liked to eat grass, so they could bring the grass they dug up home to feed the geese... In short, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan also went to the fields with Sun and the others.

The six of them went to the fields together, talking and laughing.

When the neighbors saw this, they all felt that the spirit of the two families had changed since they got married.

Jiang Ningning's family reclaimed six acres of wasteland, but four acres of it were turned into paddy fields, located at the foot of the mountain, an extremely difficult area to cultivate.

If the land was easy to cultivate, the villagers would have done it long ago, and her family wouldn't have had to wait for two years to do it.

The remaining two acres are located on a small hill, which is extremely difficult to cultivate. It is a very remote place on the hill.

If we were to open up new land, we would naturally do it next to here.

Because of its remote location, there is only Jiang Ningning's family's land here, and other people's land is on the other side of the mountain.

Nowadays, cotton, peanuts, mung beans, corn and other crops are all grown on these two acres of land.

Because the land is too barren, these crops are very weak and their growth is not at all pleasing, but the grass grows extremely lush.

If I hadn't walked in and looked carefully, I would have thought it was two acres of grass.

When Jiang Ningning was still at the foot of the mountain, she could see the two acres of land belonging to her family. There was no one there, nor anyone else. They were the first to come out to work. Jiang Ningning then glanced at Xiao Yan.
