Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

"Dad and Mom, don't be too anxious. Dad and I will go to town tomorrow morning. If it doesn't work, we can come back and borrow more."

"I'm still worried about you, a girl." Liu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, mother. Have you forgotten that I have a way to make money taught by the immortal grandfather? Just let me try it. I promise not to cause any trouble."

"Well, okay, just follow your dad closely and be careful of the beggars." Liu thought that the child was sensible and it would be okay to give it a try.

This wild ginseng can definitely be exchanged for a few taels of silver.

At this time, someone came outside again, and the house was quite lively today.

Liu went out to greet her, and it turned out to be Aunt Wang from next door.

Aunt Wang brought over five or six eggs and a piece of tofu, saying they were for Xiao Wan to eat to nourish her body.

"Wan'er, are you feeling better? There's nothing delicious at my aunt's house. I'll give you some eggs and tofu. Don't think it's too little."

Aunt Wang said embarrassedly.

Her family was not rich. The couple made a living by farming. They usually ground some tofu and sold it from door to door.

I have two sons and a daughter who are still young, so it is already difficult to get these few eggs.

"His aunt, no, you can't do that. Take it back and give it to Ni'er and Shitou brothers. Wan'er is already well. I appreciate your kindness." Liu refused.

"You have to nourish the child no matter how difficult it is. It's just a few eggs. Don't refuse." Liu had no choice but to accept the eggs and send Aunt Wang out.

Xiao Wan remembered the timely assistance.

As I recall, Aunt Wang and Liu grew up together. They were both from Kaoshan Village and had a very good relationship. They also married into Dahuaishu Village together and were very close to my mother.

She thought about it and said to Liu whether she should give some of the remaining potato seedlings to Aunt Wang's family to try planting.

Mrs. Liu hesitated and said, "Is it okay? We haven't planted anything yet. Will it delay your Aunt Wang from planting other things?"

"Mom, don't worry, it's okay. If it succeeds, Aunt Wang's family will have more food. Just ask Aunt Wang to set aside a small piece of land. It doesn't need to be much more." Xiao Wan advised.

Liu thought it made sense and went to the next door carrying the potato vines.

When he came back, he brought Aunt Wang with him. Aunt Wang excitedly asked Xiao Wan if it was true.

Xiao Wan said sincerely, "Aunt, you and my mother are very close, so I won't hide it from you. I heard about this planting method. These potato seedlings are also grown with special fertilizers. The growing period is very short, and they can be harvested in half a month at most."

"Good, good boy, if you can really grow enough, there will be more food for the family. Thank you, auntie."

Xiao Wan added, "Aunt, after you grow the potatoes, you can keep the ones you eat and use them to grow other potatoes. When they're done, I'll buy them from you for two cents per pound."

"Ah, here, if you want it, I'll get it for you. Why pay for it?"

"No, auntie, I have great uses for them. I'll tell you after I plant them. Also, come and get fertilizer and water every five days so the potatoes grow faster."

Xiao Wan was talking about the spatial spiritual spring. She wanted to build a workshop, so she had to speed up potato planting.

After seeing Aunt Wang off, Xiao Wan and Liu went to the kitchen, found a clean, oil-free pot, and slowly dried the cinnamon and star anise over low heat.

Then Xiao Wan continued to go up the mountain with her father to pick star anise and cinnamon, but unfortunately they hadn't found bay leaves yet.

But luckily she brought back some ginger and wild vegetables. The wild vegetables were juicy and tender, and Xiao Wan couldn't name them.

After returning home, Xiao Wan peeled three potatoes left over from the seedling cultivation, cut them into thin strips, and picked two or three peppers from the small vegetable patch in the backyard. She then fried them with some oil, salt, and vinegar.

Suddenly, a fragrant smell came to their noses. The greedy Xiao Zhengping and Xiao Yuer bit their fingers and stared at the wok where their sister was cooking.

Xiao Wan smiled, then washed and chopped the fresh wild vegetables, added a little cornmeal, put in some salt and stirred it into a paste, and brushed a thin layer of oil in the pot.

Put the batter in and spread it evenly, fry it slowly over low heat, and the flavor will come out. Xiao Wan fried the pancakes until they were slightly golden, and the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance.

Mrs. Liu smelled the food and looked at her daughter with surprise. She didn't expect her daughter's cooking skills were so good.

Looking at the oil and salt Xiao Wan used, Liu moved her lips, but still did not blame her daughter for using too much.

The children usually have too little food and drink. Wan'er's hair has turned a little yellow, and the three children are skinny.

The family had a full meal. Xiao Zhengping said, "Second sister, you should cook from now on. Mother is reluctant to add salt."

"You little bastard, you deserve a beating. You still enjoy eating it even without salt." Everyone laughed after saying that.
