At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh several times when he thought that Songsi Village could have alleviated the famine by growing red amaranth, but missed the opportunity to save itself because of the rumor that it was poisonous.

What's more, the instigator of the incident was actually related to his third son.

It really is……

If Gu Sanmu heard his ex-mother say this, he would listen but he would definitely not take it to heart.

But after spending these two days together, his trust in his mother is no longer the same as before.

It took him a moment to realize that it was his own ignorance that caused such a disaster, and even delayed Song Shicun's meal. He felt discouraged and a little disgusted with himself.

How could he be so arrogant?

Lin Qing hurriedly patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Sanmu, this is absolutely not your fault. After all, your speculation is very reasonable. Its leaves do look creepy. If it were me, I would definitely make the same judgment as you. You are also trying to protect more people.

"How about this, we pick some seeds and take them home to plant them first. After they grow, we can try them out first. It can be considered as making up for our mistakes. How do you think?"

When Gu Sanmu heard his mother say this, he immediately felt relieved.

After collecting the seeds, the sun was setting. Gu Sanmu immediately took his two brothers to the area where they had dug potatoes that day. The three of them dug several holes in a row, but found nothing.

Gu Sihe even dug out the potatoes he had buried yesterday, and held them up with joy to Lin Qing, "Mom, they've sprouted!"

Lin Qing also opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Just now she looked up the potato cultivation method in Dana's book. The book said it would take several days for potatoes to sprout, but here it only takes one day!

Lin Qingxin said that she knew nothing about farming, so it would be better for her to conduct a small-scale experiment at home. At the same time, she would ask Sanmu to find some capable farmers in the village. With these two approaches, maybe they could really save the village from famine with potatoes!

Lin Qing came to her senses and saw the three children squatting on the ground with their backs to her, rolling left and right, and burying the potatoes in the ground with the same trick.

"Hey, Miki, come look here!"

The children swarmed over and dug out the potatoes with their hands and feet.

Gu Sanmu picked up the bucket and said, "Mom, you guys clean up here first. I'll go to that spring where no one goes to get a bucket of water while there are few people around. You don't have to wait for me, just go home first."

Gu Sihe was clamoring to go with him, and Lin Qing said with a smile, "Okay, then why don't we all accompany Sanmu!"

Unexpectedly, this trip gave Lin Qing a huge surprise.

Lin Qing couldn't stop laughing along the way and almost laughed out loud several times.

Just because she had divided the barren mountain into several areas in advance, she only conducted a "carpet-style" search of a small area today and found the red amaranth.

Specialty progress 2/5.

This greatly encouraged her, who had a hobby of collecting complete illustrated books.

I believe that in the near future, her dream will come true!

The few of them walked along the winding mountain road for a long time, and the youngest one, Gu Sihe, finally couldn't hold back and asked a question.

"Third brother, how much longer are we going to have to walk? My feet are about to get blisters!"

Not to mention that Gu Sihe's short legs couldn't move around, Lin Qing felt like her legs were filled with lead.

Gu Ermiao took a deep breath and said with emotion, "If I hadn't come here with Sanmu, I wouldn't have known how much effort it takes for you to fetch water. You've really worked hard, Sanmu."

Gu Sanmu scratched his head shyly and smiled, his face flushed.

"It's all worth it for our family."

Lin Qing saw that the woods around him were becoming increasingly dense, and the shrill howls of some unknown wild beasts could be heard from the mountains. Although they were far away, they were still terrifying.

Gu Ermiao couldn't help but shiver and hugged Gu Sihe who came over.

"Mitsuki, the sun is about to set. How long will it take us to reach the place you mentioned? If it takes too long, why don't we go home and come back to get water tomorrow?"

"Ermiao is right," Lin Qing said, feeling a little worried. "Anyway, we still have enough water at home, so there's no need to rush today. If something unexpected really happens, the four of us won't be enough to feed the wild beasts."

"It's right ahead, mother, just around the thorn bush..."

"Hey, wait!"

Lin Qing suddenly smelled a faint and familiar fragrance at the tip of his nose. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the 'thorn bush' that Gu Sanmu mentioned, and was shocked to find that -

This turned out to be a rose field!

The roses are like sparkling gems in the wasteland, densely packed and blooming in full bloom, bright red like blood and as brilliant as clouds.

Lin Qing was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Omg!

It is probably because this place is close to water, the soil is suitable, and it is in the leeward part of the valley, so the roses can grow so vigorously!

She stretched out her hand, picked one and put it into the storage space, and sure enough, she heard the notification tone that made her very happy.

[Ding, it was detected that you have stored wild bitter water roses! ]

Lin Qing was so excited that he was almost incoherent.

Oh my God!

It can also be refined into bitter water rose which can be called liquid gold!

Lin Qing looked at the vast rose field that stretched almost to the horizon. Although she had no idea about the land area, she knew that it was enough to save the entire village.

This is not a thorn bush, it is a golden land!

Although she certainly couldn't achieve high-purity extraction by making her own purification machine, she should be able to make rose jam, rose tea, and simple skin care products.

If the right cultivation method is found, it will be a steady source of income.

At this moment, Lin Qing had no intention of taking the rose field for herself. While Gu Sanmu was fetching water, she began to think about how to lead the villagers to become rich together.

But what happened soon after made her completely change her mind.

When Gu Sihe saw his mother pick a flower and then start to daydream, he couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but he was accidentally pricked by a thorn, and the pain made him grimace.

"Hiss, Mom, what kind of flower is this? It smells weird, but it hurts so much when it pricks me!"

"Be careful, Shihe. It only smells good, but tastes bitter and smelly."

Gu Sanmu, who was fetching water in the distance, explained loudly to his brother.

"When I first discovered these flowers, I picked some and ate them. They tasted... worse than grass. If they weren't so unpalatable, I would have taken them back."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sihe hurriedly stopped putting his hand towards his mouth and sighed a few words with regret.

Gu Ermiao couldn't stop laughing because of his brother's behavior. At this time, Gu Sanmu also walked over to them with a bucket.

"Okay, I'm done fetching water, shall we go back now?"

Seeing that his mother remained indifferent, with her eyes still fixed on the strange-looking thorny flowers, Gu Ermiao suggested:

"Since it smells so good, there's no reason it wouldn't be delicious. Maybe Sanmu is eating it incorrectly. Mom, why don't we pick some and take them home to study it carefully?"

Lin Qing was very satisfied with Gu Ermiao's understanding, and hurriedly nodded in agreement with a smile.
