"What is this thing? I've never seen it before. It doesn't grow on trees." Bai Rongfu said as he picked it up.

"Yeah." Bai Canxing nodded, then dug up a few more sweet potato vines. The four brothers followed suit, and before they knew it, they had dug up a large pile of them, with a large patch of vines still to be dug up. The brothers hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, only thinking that if they could eat this, they wouldn't have to go hungry in the future.

"Rongde, go ask grandpa, grandma, parents and others to come over. Keep your voice down and don't tell anyone else." Bai Rongfu said to his younger brother.

"Okay." Bai Rongde naturally knew that food was precious, and at this time, anyone who found some food would hide it. Although it was not a famine, everyone could only barely make ends meet.

Soon, the adults arrived. Looking at what they had dug out and the large patch of fruit still left, the people who had been farming for years were a little shocked. Such a barren expanse of land could yield such a high yield of wild fruit. If it were truly edible, it would definitely be a godsend. They had to hide it well.

Not to mention that they are farmers, even the landlords and wealthy businessmen generally would not think of telling the government about everything. After all, the gate of the yamen faces south, and you can't come in without money.

This is the true portrayal of the ancient people. Of course, there were good officials who stood up for the people and loved them like their own children, but they were extremely rare. The trust in the court in ancient times was not as high as the trust that the Chinese people have in the police in the 21st century.

Bai Canxing is just an ordinary person in modern times, not very smart, but she never looks down on anyone, especially the wisdom of the ancient working people. After returning home, she cut a small piece to feed the chickens and found that it was okay, so she started to boil it in water and steam it in a steamer.

"It's sweet, so sweet. God bless you." After taking a bite, old man Bai Yuliang was so excited that tears almost came out. In ancient times, sugar was an extremely precious thing. It was difficult for ordinary people to have something sweet.

"Really? So sweet, so fragrant, so delicious." Bai Rongde, the most lively of the four brothers, was practically squinting with happiness. Bai Canxing saw the others doing the same. He took a small steamed sweet potato and ate it in small bites. "Roasted sweet potatoes are the best." So ignorant. ╭(╯^╰)╮. The little guy grumbled inwardly, but he still ate with relish. So delicious!!

"Our Erya is amazing! No wonder the fortune teller said that once Erya survives the great calamity, good fortune will come and she will be blessed with good fortune." Aunt Liu Lanhua looked at Bai Canxing with a different look. This must be a truly blessed baby.

"Sister-in-law, please don't praise her. This girl, if you praise her a few times, she will be overjoyed." Han Suying touched Bai Canxing's head and smiled back, feeling happy. Last year, a Taoist priest who passed by asked for water and saw her holding Erya in her arms, so he told her fortune.

Even though it cost ten copper coins, it was just for peace of mind. Now that I have this sweet thing in my mouth, I think of the huge piece of land I still have. If I could plant it, my family would never have to go hungry again.

"Lanhua is right. Our Erya is a blessed child." said the old lady Shi Manyue. Seeing that the old lady had spoken, Han Suying did not say anything else, but just asked with a smile.

"Mom and Dad, should we dig this thing out or leave it here? We don't know if it can survive being left here." In fact, everyone was worried about leaving this thing outside.

"Well, it's better to dig it out. I see some signs of being gnawed on the leaves. Maybe they can be eaten. Pick a handful and try it later." After hearing Bai Yuliang's words, Bai Canxing was really convinced. Don't say that the ancient people were ignorant and stupid. You have to know that they were the ones who cherished and understood food the most.

Anyway, she was just a three-year-old child, so she didn't have to worry about these things. The whole family was busy, so she was ordered to stay in the house and not run around.

"Okay." Bai Canxing said she would definitely be good. She was sick and had traveled through time, so she wanted to stroll through this street that belonged to her. Actually, calling it a street wasn't quite accurate. She had to pass by the 200-meter-long vegetable market on her way home.

Starting from the fruit stall at the entrance, there are stalls selling vegetables, seafood, live chickens and ducks, a meat stall, and a small supermarket. Turning to the right, there is a handmade noodle shop that sells noodles, dumpling wrappers, and wonton wrappers. Next to it is a stationery store, and further on is a bookstore. Further on is another small supermarket. It is not big but has a complete range of products.

Next to it was a fruit and vegetable supermarket, which sold vegetables, fruits, condiments, and of course, meat and eggs. Turning in from the side was the gate to her residential complex, but there was a thick fog here that prevented her from getting through.

There is a building in front of this vegetable market. The first floor is all street-facing shops. When you come out of the vegetable market exit and turn left, you will pass by a porridge shop, a butcher shop, a boutique fruit shop, and a pharmacy. Only this pharmacy has access to the second floor, where the entire second floor is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Next to the pharmacy is a soup dumpling shop. The first shop to the left is a hardware store. Next to it is a duck neck shop, next to it is a grilled fish shop, and a small Western medicine clinic. She also went there for IV drips.

Then there is a snack shop, a hot pot restaurant, next to it is a convenience store, a very small milk tea shop, a chain hamburger, fried chicken and pizza shop, and next to it is a two-yuan store, of course not all the items in it are two yuan.

Walking over there is the entrance to a large department store. This supermarket is located on the underground floor. The total area of ​​all the shops on the ground is the area of ​​this supermarket.

There are really a lot of things in this supermarket. There are vegetable sections, seafood sections, seasoning sections, grains, pots and pans, clothes and shoes, tobacco, alcohol, tea, snacks and beverages, fruits and dried fruits, some children's books, toiletries, skin care products, cosmetics, etc. The variety is quite complete.

The other deficiencies can be supplemented by the shops mentioned above. Her favorite now is the bookstore. Although the bookstore is not big, the variety of books is very rich. You know, knowledge is the most important wealth at any time. Although she is not a person who likes reading, after all, if she loves reading, she would not have dropped out of college after one year.

But this is ancient times, and we're completely in the dark. Having something is better than nothing. What's strange is that if you turn right, you can only enter the shops on the first floor. But if you turn left, you can enter the entire second floor. Could it be that the flower pot fell from above the vegetable market?

If she couldn't figure it out, she would stop thinking. She wasn't the type to make things difficult for herself. Then she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already dark and her family hadn't returned yet. Bai Canxing touched her stomach and felt a little hungry.
