Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

The next day, after breakfast, Zhang Xixi went to the land she had cleared the day before, and to her surprise, the cabbage and garlic had already sprouted!

Thinking that the spiritual spring water might make the vegetables taste better, Zhang Xixi bought a bucket of spiritual spring water and watered the vegetable garden again with a spray bottle before going home. Now she could finally rest assured!

In just a few days, the garlic sprouts had grown to the height of her calves. Zhang Xixi cut them and took them back, much to the surprise of the Chen family.

"Daughter, you really grew these."

Zhang Xixi smiled and nodded, but Da Bao and Er Bao said in unison, "Grandma, it's true, I saw Mom cut it!"

"It's really sprouted! Come on, let's go take a look!" Zhang Dacheng called to his family, and they headed towards the vegetable garden in a large group.

Zhou stood awkwardly in place, holding Zhang Yuhan back and preventing her from going over.

Along the way, they encountered other villagers who, seeing the Zhang family going to the vegetable garden, followed them.

Has it really grown vegetables?!

A group of people came to the vegetable garden to watch. They saw lush green garlic sprouts as tall as their calves and glistening, healthy Chinese cabbages swaying in the wind.

"It really grew!"

"And she's so good-looking!"

"Sister-in-law, what method did you use to make this dish?" Madam Wang asked on behalf of everyone.

"We used a special method. Last time, we dug up a ginseng and gave it to my master. He gave me a bottle of something called nutrient solution. I used it, and the vegetables grew," Zhang Xixi explained.

"It's so amazing!"

"Sister-in-law, your master is really amazing, he has such divine skills."

"Da Bao's mom, could you pick some of your vegetables for us?"

Zhang Xixi ignored the petty and opportunistic Old Wang, turned to the rest of the village, and said loudly:

"Everyone, cut some garlic sprouts to take home and try them. It's just a little bit, so just a small bunch from each family will be fine!"

Everyone present expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Thank you, Da Bao's mom!"

Ms. Chen stopped the people going into the vegetable garden, saying, "I'm afraid you'll ruin the vegetables. I'll cut them for you. One person from each family can stay here."

"Fine, fine! So stingy!" Old Mrs. Wang grumbled, but didn't insist on going in.

Thinking it wouldn't be good for her to keep asking her sister-in-law for vegetables every day, and since she was free lately anyway, she decided to grow some herself. She pulled Zhang Xixi aside, "Sister-in-law, it's just that, it's just that..."

Seeing the conflicted look on Madam Wang's face, Zhang Xixi guessed what she was going to say.

"My sister-in-law wants to ask if there's any more of that nutrient solution, right?"

Da Wang said awkwardly, "Well, I also want to grow some vegetables, but I'm afraid they won't grow, so..."

“I know, but I’ve already used up all the nutrient solution on this piece of land.”

Seeing the disappointed look on Da Wang's face, Zhang Xixi said, "But you can exchange it with my master, but it has to be something of corresponding value."

Da Wang said with difficulty, "I know that, but my family doesn't have ginseng, so I don't know if lingzhi would work."

"Okay, let me see the Ganoderma lucidum first!" Zhang Xixi thought to herself that she should check its value first before discussing anything else.

Lady Wang said urgently, "Let's go back and check right now!"

Wang Shi pulled Zhang Xixi and headed towards her family's encampment.

"Sister-in-law, take a look at this!" Madam Wang took out a Ganoderma lucidum wrapped in cloth and handed it to Zhang Xixi.

"Ding! Rare treasure detected. Host, would you like to sign in?"

Zhang Xixi carefully examined the Ganoderma lucidum, while mentally saying, "Checking in!"

"Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for gaining 3000 luck points!" It seems that this is just an ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, and it is not very old.

Lady Wang asked nervously, "Can this be exchanged?"

"Yes, that's possible, but how much can be exchanged depends on my master's decision."

The Queen contemplated for a moment, then hesitated.

Seeing that Madam Wang was hesitant, Zhang Xixi suggested, "Why don't you go and discuss it with your brother-in-law? After all, a contract needs to be signed."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

"Host, how much stuff are you planning to give them in return?"

Zhang Xixi raised an eyebrow. "System, you're curious about this? Well, I'm not going to tell you!"

"Fine, I won't tell you then. This system actually wants to reveal a little secret to you!"

Although Zhang Xixi was somewhat reluctant to believe the system, she still asked curiously, "System, what secret is it?"

Seeing that the system didn't respond, Zhang Xixi had no choice but to compromise, "I plan to exchange items worth two-thirds of their value for them, can I tell you the secret now!"

"Host, you can get half of the luck value for the things you grow by providing nutrient solution to others."

"Really, that's wonderful!"

Finally, some good news! If we just focus on selling nutrient solutions, we'll be rich!

Zhang Xixi laughed inwardly!

The eldest Wang woman came out with a big smile on her face. "Sister-in-law, we've switched places. I'll have the eldest son go and call all the clan elders and your brother over."

"Okay, but sister-in-law, I can only give you the things tonight!"

Madam Wang waved her hand, "It's alright, tonight it is!"

Finally, Zhang Xixi signed a contract with Zhou Dashan's family, took the Ganoderma lucidum, and left. Many people in the village knew about this, but they were all watching and waiting to see how much Zhou Dashan's family could get.

After Zhang Xixi returned, she made a special trip to the vegetable garden to take a look. The weeds in the garden had already been pulled out, and someone had watered it. Zhang Wenhong was reinforcing the fence with tree branches and had also brought over a lot of thorny branches.

"Second brother, there's no need to go through all that trouble, a simple solution will suffice!"

Zhang Wenhong didn't even look up, continuing what he was doing. "Little sister, you don't know how many people in the village love to steal. If we don't take precautions, I'm afraid these vegetables will be gone when I wake up tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xixi waved her hand domineeringly, "It's alright, I'll have Xiao Jin and the others guard this place for a bit, let's see who dares to steal it!"

Zhang Wenhong slapped his forehead. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? With Xiao Jin and the others around, if anyone dares to come, we'll bite off their legs."

"Yujie, stop doing this, and don't bother cutting the branches!" Zhang Wenhong shouted loudly towards the nearby woods.

"Why did you stop?" Zhou Yujie asked, pretending to emerge from the woods.

Zhang Xixi also said, "Yujie, come over here first."

Zhang Xixi told Zhou Yujie what had happened and asked them to go back first, while she went to check on Xiao Jin.

Before dinner, Zhang Xixi carried a bucket of nutrient solution, while Xiao Jin carried a bag of rice and a bag of flour, and so they went to Zhou Dashan's house in a ostentatious manner.

Many people saw this scene, and Zhang Xixi thought that this should be the best publicity!

Zhou Dashan and the others were delighted to see two bags of fine grains, but the nutrient solution looked like plain water, so they looked at Zhang Xixi with suspicion.

"This nutrient solution is like this: first, soak the seeds in it, and after planting the seeds, mix it with water and water the soil."

"Sister-in-law, it's that simple!"

“Of course!” Zhang Xixi nodded affirmatively.
