The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

"If you ask me, I have to thank my sister."

"no need thank me."

"Of course it's because of your selflessness. If you hadn't taught us how to make tofu, we wouldn't have more food to eat, let alone earn money."

Jiang Yan originally just wanted to offer some favors to others so that she could gain good relationships with others and make life easier for her and her daughter.

"Now everyone in Black Rock City knows that our West Mountain Hundred Households can make tofu, and business is booming. I heard my husband say: If our Hundred Households didn't have a profitable tofu shop, the brothers in the Hundred Households would have to starve before the grain was harvested."

Thinking of this, Guan was filled with gratitude. "My husband also said that the bean curd cakes and fried tofu dregs were the best food in the eyes of the brothers. He loved them so much that he would always eat them before returning from the Hundred Households Office."

Jiang Yan hadn't imagined that a small piece of tofu could bring so many benefits to the Hundred Households Unit. However, she didn't take credit for herself. "Sister Guan, I don't deserve the credit. I just came up with an idea and a recipe for making tofu. The rest of the work was done by the officers and soldiers of the Hundred Households Unit. They're the ones who've done the hard work."

"They work hard, that's true. But sister, you don't know that they also worked hard before, but they still went hungry. It's different now. They can fill their stomachs at least once a day."

Guan chatted with Jiang Yan for a while before going back to cook.

After seeing Guan off, the mother and daughter went to the open space below the cliff in tacit understanding.

"These days I've been thinking that I can't leave this piece of land empty, but I can't decide what to plant. After listening to your Aunt Guan's advice today, I think we can plant more beans."

"Yeah, that's easy. Mom, we should plant more." Yichen finished speaking and returned home. She stood on a stool next to the trading mall and bought bean seeds for three acres of land with a few clicks of her fingers.

Thinking about it, it seemed like something was missing. The little man held his forehead and a moment later bought another three acres of corn seeds.

When Jiang Yan saw the bags of seeds that appeared out of thin air on the ground, she knew that her daughter had bought them.

"If we plant all of this, we'll have eleven acres of land."

"These crops are easy to grow, but harvesting is a little troublesome. But it doesn't matter. I guess Uncle Zhang will invite the uncles from the centurions to come and help."

Jiang Yan smiled proudly at her daughter's explanation. There seemed to be a vacant lot to the south, so the land behind their yard couldn't be wasted.

After dinner, under cover of darkness, Jiang Yan brought out a plow from home. Soon, the land below the cliff was cleared.

The next day, the mother and daughter finally planted all the seeds in the fields before sunset.

Jiang Yan rubbed her waist, which felt like it was about to break, and couldn't help but complain to her daughter. "We have a cheat machine, and it almost makes me exhausted. If this were all done by hand, we mother and daughter would have a hard time even farming two acres of land."

"If it were all handmade, Mom would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago." Yi Chen wasn't exaggerating. "I've been standing on the steps outside our house these past two days, watching the people working in the fields across the river. Many of them are so exhausted they're kneeling on the ground."

Yichen felt a lot of pity when she thought about the hard work of the farmers. Especially when she thought about her own mother, she felt even worse.

"Mother~"

"We have the plow and the seed drill to help us, so Mom will be fine."

"But these eleven acres of land were all cultivated by my mother herself."

"Who said that? Our Chenchen also helped mother sow seeds in those fields near the river."

"It's just a little bit of work, but mother still remembers it."

"Our Chenchen is only a few years old, but he can already help mom with work. Mom is so happy."

After dinner, the mother and daughter talked about some family matters, and the day passed.

The next day, after breakfast, the mother and daughter stood at the back door and talked.

"Chenchen, what do you think about us planting some peanuts here?" Jiang Yan knew that there was little food in this area, so she wanted to plant some peanuts and melon seeds as snacks for her daughter.

"Of course it would be good to grow peanuts. We can cook spiced peanuts, fry peanuts, and deep-fry them. I just don't know if there are any peanut seeds here."

Yichen knew that there were peanut seeds in the trading mall, but if there were none in this area, they would not dare to plant them openly.

She had dared to buy bean and corn seeds at the trade mall yesterday because they were available in this area. Also, the area below the cliff was quite far from here, so even if someone came, they wouldn't go that way.

The mother and daughter were grappling with this when they heard the sound of carriages and horses in the distance. Then they heard a young and somewhat unfamiliar voice calling Jiang Yan from the other side of the river: "Madam Jiang, Madam Jiang."

"Hey~" Jiang Yan responded and took her daughter to the river.

On the other side of the river, a boy of about twelve or thirteen was standing next to the carriage looking over here.

Seeing the Jiang mother and daughter approaching, the young man moved his lips shyly before speaking: "Madam Jiang, I am the Second Son of the Dong family. I am here on the orders of my parents to bring you some seeds and some common items."

After the young man finished speaking, he got back on the carriage. After he was seated firmly in the carriage, he drove the carriage across the river.

At this moment, Jiang Yan also knew from the boy's words that he was the second son of a centurion family.

Dasheng, who was working in his own field, vaguely heard Dong Erlang's voice and immediately stood up to look over here.

Seeing that it was really Dong Erlang, he immediately shouted loudly: "Erlang, Erlang~"

Dong Erlang had already driven his carriage across the river, and he knew who was calling him without looking back.

"Dog Egg~"

"Erlang, you're wrong again. My name is Dasheng now."

"I'm sorry, Dasheng. I always blurt out your old name."

"It's okay, it will be fine over time."

"Yeah." Dong Erlang nodded continuously, secretly reminding himself in his heart not to call the wrong name next time.

Dasheng didn't take such trivial matters to heart. What he cared about most now was the purpose of his friend's visit. "Erlang, what are you doing here looking for Aunt Jiang?"

"My dad and his friends found some forgotten seeds in the warehouse yesterday, along with a bag of precious peanut seeds."

“Peanut seeds?”

"Yeah. They were planted specifically for us, but someone put some debris on top of the two bags of seeds. So when the seeds were distributed, they got left out."

"What a sin! Who is so careless?"

"My father also lost his temper and scolded Uncle Feng, who was in charge of the warehouse. Uncle Feng felt very guilty and didn't even eat dinner yesterday. He also said that even if he starved to death, it wouldn't be worth the grain he could harvest from two bags of seeds."
