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

This dog system!

Lin Qing couldn't stop cursing. Did she have to return all the reward she had just received without a penny left? And then she had to spend all the family's money?!

At this time, if you buy chopsticks instead of food, what’s the difference between that and putting gold rims on a toilet?

Besides, look at the introduction of these chopsticks——

【Non-stick, oil-resistant and easy to clean ultra-light alloy chopsticks】

Is it something that should appear in this era?

If she really bought it, how would she explain it to the children?

[Ding, the shape of the chopsticks has been adjusted as requested]

Lin Qing looked at the natural wood-colored ultra-light alloy chopsticks and couldn't help but give the system a thumbs up again.

But she was still hesitating whether to buy it or not.

Because I'm really short of money.

The system is very good at marketing tactics, and reminds users with the tempting voice of "there will be no such store after this village".

[Ding, for a limited time, we've opened some shopping privileges for you. For your first use, all products will be half-price. Please feel free to shop!]

Lin Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

After browsing through all the available purchase categories, the light in his eyes slowly faded.

Even at half price, there were only a few she could afford.

The children have been hungry for so long, what they need is something that can fill their stomachs and is delicious, not just big fish and meat.

After choosing for a long time, she finally chose potatoes.

Potatoes are the meat of the poor!

It has chicken flavor when put into chicken soup, and beef flavor when put into beef soup. It is really versatile!

At two cents a jin, she could buy five jin, and then five pairs of chopsticks...

After all, she had little confidence in her cooking skills, so it was understandable that she would use some technology and hard work after boiling the food.

Just before she added the items to the shopping cart and clicked the checkout button, she suddenly realized that she had fallen into a consumption trap.

If she keeps spending money at the mall and doesn't earn any money, won't she soon run out of money?!

How to turn the situation around...

correct!

She remembered that when she was working with a university, she heard agricultural experts say that potatoes and sweet potatoes are drought-resistant, easy to grow, and have short growth cycles.

In that case, why doesn't she learn to grow it?

Lin Qingfu is heartfelt.

Since the system is so user-friendly, there must be related books for sale.

After an impatient search, I finally found the "Encyclopedia of Crop Planting and Cultivation".

The name sounds reliable.

The author was actually a great figure of her time.

It’s just that the price is a bit unfriendly.

Fifty cents.

Indeed, knowledge is power.

"Excuse me, is there an electronic version or a pirated copy?"

The system was silent for a while.

【Fighting piracy is everyone’s responsibility.】

Oh.

[The mall is not a one-way sale. The host can also provide goods to the mall to earn income. ]

Hey, why didn’t you say so earlier!

Lin Qing looked around and the system quickly rejected it.

[We do not accept junk.]

OK...

Then I can only fill my stomach first, go to the mountain to pick up some things that can be sold, and then buy this book.

The most important thing right now is to have a full meal.

After clicking the settlement button, the balance was instantly cleared to zero, and Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh.

[Ding, a special storage space system reward for shopping in the mall. The host can access it at will. The storage space can ignore volume and weight and will keep the stored status for you!]

Wow!

Lin Qing's eyes lit up. Isn't that a vacuum refrigerator?

It's money well spent!

When she opened the storage space, she saw that the items she had just bought occupied two of the shelves divided into small grids, with introductions thoughtfully written below the grids.

[Potatoes*30 jin/ pieces]

【Chopsticks*5 pairs】

There are currently eight unlocked spaces left, and the ununlocked spaces are labeled "One or Two Unlocks * 5 Spaces."

You might as well just go and rob it.

But she didn't expect that there would be so many potatoes in five pounds.

Conservatively speaking, it is enough to feed their family of five for two or three days.

Just at this moment, the three brothers who went out to borrow food walked into the courtyard dejectedly, empty-handed.

"Mother, I am an unfilial child. I was unable to borrow the food, and now you have to starve too."

Gu Damao's eyes were red with guilt.

Lin Qing waved her hand: "It's okay, I guessed it a long time ago. You guys take a break, Third Brother, take the basket and go up the mountain with mother to dig wild vegetables."

Gu Ermiao wanted to say something but was stopped by Gu Damao.

"Then please be careful, mother. I will keep an eye on my brothers."

Lin Qing naturally did not miss his little move.

It seems that something happened when I went out just now.

She did not choose to get to the bottom of the matter at this time, after all, this would likely cause discord between the two brothers.

Why don’t we just ask another insider, Gu Sanmu, later?

The little fool Gu Sanmu didn't know that he was going to be used as a tool. He puffed out his chest proudly and followed Lin Qing out the door happily.

In fact, the reason why Lin Qing asked Gu Sanmu to follow him was very simple.

The introduction describes him as a simple-minded, strong-limbed athlete who is too lazy to use his brain, making it easy for Lin Qing to do something to him.

It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching and dazzling, burning my body as if it would burn off a layer of skin.

The mother and son chose a shady path and quickly climbed up the mountain. On the way, Gu Sanmu said mysteriously, "Mom, I know of a new spring with a lot of water. I haven't told anyone, so I'll go get a bucket of it quietly later."

Lin Qing thought to himself that the system’s introduction was not quite accurate. Gu Sanmu still had some tricks up his sleeve.

While he was fetching water, Lin Qing took out five potatoes and rolled them on the ground a few times.

After being covered with mud, they almost merged with the barren mountains, as if they had grown naturally here.

But it looks a bit fake to just throw it on the roadside, so I'd better bury it in the ground.

Lin Qing, who had hardly done any farm work, was already exhausted and breathless with black eyes after just digging a hole with a grass hoe.

Farmers are really hardworking...

She will never waste a grain of food again!

After she finished all this, Gu Sanmu had already walked over from a distance carrying a bucket of water.

"Mom, hey, I'm lucky today. I got a full bucket of water! Let's go home."

Seeing that her basket was empty, Gu Sanmu smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, mother, we can drink water to satisfy our hunger."

Lin Qing deliberately walked to the pit, sprained his ankle with poor acting skills, and spoke in an exaggerated tone.

"Ouch, something is hurting my foot. Sanmu, please dig it out and take a look."

Gu Sanmu quickly put down the water and helped her up. He patted the dirt off her body and comforted her casually: "Maybe it's a stone. Mom, it's too hot. Let's go back quickly."

Lin Qing was so angry that he was speechless.

"If you don't dig, I will!"

Seeing Lin Qingzhen bending down, Gu Sanmu took the hoe and dug out all the potatoes in a few strokes. He used such great force that he even cut one in half.

He was surprised that he could actually dig something out of the soil.

"Hey, what is this? We've hollowed out the mountain, and we've never seen anything like this! You're amazing, Mom! You've gotten something on your first trip up the mountain!"

Lin Qing was only focused on the first half of the sentence at that time, thinking, "Of course you haven't seen this, little brat."

This place looks similar to the northern part of China in history, and I'm afraid sweet potatoes have not yet been introduced.

So, if they discovered a new food, people would definitely be suspicious, so they had to find an excuse to cover it up...

The Gu Sanmu in front of him was easy to deceive.
