Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

After the potato seedlings were planted, they grew faster day by day, and the whole family was very surprised.

Xiao Wan kept a portion of it in the space to grow for her own consumption, and also planted some vegetables in the space.

Bai Tuantuan said that the potatoes at home grew into seedlings in the space, and the fruits were used as seeds. The fruits that grew later were still big and good, and the maturity period was short.

Xiao Wan was even happier, feeling that she was one step closer to her workshop plan.

Xiao Wan had nothing to do at home that day, so she decided to go up the mountain to look for business opportunities, but she was still a little scared to go alone.

But when I turned around, I saw that my younger brothers and sisters could only feed chickens at home. It seemed that their future life was foreseeable. They would get married, have children, and work in the fields all their lives, but still not be able to eat enough.

This is incomparable to modern rural life.

After all, modern rural life is sometimes more comfortable than life in the city.

Besides, Xiao Zhengping is already five years old. It is time for him to be enlightened and he cannot stay at home feeding chickens all day.

Xiao Yuer also needs to learn to read and write so that she can understand things in the future and won't be bullied because of her illiteracy. She will also be looked up to by her husband's family when she gets married.

It's not that Xiao Wan doesn't have the integrity of modern people

But the customs of this era cannot be changed by one person's efforts. We can only live better within our capabilities.

Xiao Wan thought a lot and made up her mind. No matter what, she had the space in her hands and was not afraid of wild beasts. So she went up the mountain!

Xiao Wan went to find Liu and told her about it. Of course, Liu was unwilling, but Xiao Wan insisted, so Liu had to let Xiao Lao Er take Xiao Wan for a walk in the mountains.

Xiao Wan and her father went into the mountains carrying bamboo baskets.

It is spring and flowers are blooming. Although most of the wild vegetables have been dug up, there are still many tender wild vegetables outside the deep mountains.

However, the villagers were afraid of wild beasts and did not dare to come to dig. Naturally, Father Xiao did not dare to take Xiao Wan on the risk, so Xiao Wan could only search at the outermost part of the mountain.

On the way, they met many villagers who were also picking wild vegetables. Everyone kindly reminded Xiao Wan not to go into the mountains.

Xiao Wan called them "Uncle" and "Aunt" one by one and agreed with a smile.

Although the village is poor, most of the villagers are simple in nature.

Suddenly a plant came into view.

Oh, isn’t this Sichuan pepper? Xiao Wan’s eyes lit up.

It's not ripe yet, some of them are still red with green, and Xiao Wan is very excited.

In this era, cooking lacks oil and salt, and the only seasonings are green onions and ginger. Pick them quickly, dry them, and use them to add flavor to stir-fried dishes. It is one of the essential seasonings for cooking.

There is a large area of ​​pepper trees here. Xiao Wan invited her father to pick some together, and explained the benefits of pepper to her father while picking.

When Old Man Xiao heard this, he decided to pick more, and the two of them filled two baskets.

Xiao Wan turned around and found another plant with a tower-shaped or oval crown. When she looked closely, she found it was an star anise.

The star anise at this time of year belongs to the spring rough fruit, which blooms from August to October and bears fruit in March or April of the following year. The regular rough fruit blooms from March to May and matures from September to October. The spring rough fruit can also be picked and used as seasoning.

There is a large area nearby. Xiao Wan was so excited that she even found a cassia tree.

Father Xiao looked at the star anise and cinnamon and said, "Isn't this a medicinal herb?"

Only then did Xiao Wan realize that these things were used as medicinal herbs in this era.

So he explained these seasonings to his father in detail. Father Xiao asked Xiao Wan, "Did your master teach you this too?"

Xiao Wan agreed, and Old Man Xiao also hurried to pick the peppers, but the basket was full, so he could only pick a small amount and take it back, then dump the peppercorns out and come back later.

Xiao Wan carefully cut some grass and covered the father and son's backpacks with it to avoid unnecessary trouble when they returned to the village.

Xiao Wan was circling around the outskirts of the deep mountains again. Old Man Xiao reminded Xiao Wan not to go into the mountains anymore. Xiao Wan responded and actually found a ginseng.

I’m not seeing things, Xiao Wan walked in and saw that it was indeed a wild ginseng.

Xiao Wan asked Old Man Xiao to dig it out carefully together to ensure the integrity of the wild ginseng, otherwise it would affect the price.

The upper part of the root tuber of wild ginseng is densely covered with reeds on all sides, and the upper end of the main root has fine and deep spiral patterns. The older it is, the deeper the spirals are. Some of my modern friends have families running medicinal materials businesses.

I've often heard her mention the medicinal properties of wild ginseng before, and I don't know how old this medium-sized ginseng that Xiao Wan discovered is.

I just know it's probably good.

There are very few real wild ginseng in modern times, and every one you dig up is one less.

At that time, transportation was not well developed and wild ginseng was difficult to dig. I believe it should be worth a lot of money. Xiao Wan excitedly told her father.

Old Man Xiao was also very excited. The father and son quickly wrapped up the wild ginseng and hid it at the bottom of the backpack.

Xiao Wan was a little greedy and wanted to go further into the mountains. Xiao Lao Er was busy picking peppercorns and was not noticed by Xiao Wan before he walked into the forest.
