She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

If Banxia didn't offer any benefit after the other party refused her offer of money twice, it would be too stingy of her to not give them any benefit at all.

Moreover, nowadays, even money can't buy grain, which clearly shows that grain is more precious than money, which can be considered Banxia's sincerity.

At this moment, Banxia clearly did not consider Lian Chengmo's opinion. In any case, she was in charge of the food and she was the one who brought back the game and wild vegetables. She was completely in charge of the decision.

Of course, that little stick-in-the-mud is very opinionated, and Banxia believes he will agree with her choice. After all, learning how to process ginseng is a source of endless wealth and a life-saving medicinal herb.

Now she can get it for just a little food, isn't she getting a great deal? Banxia felt that Lian Chengmo was definitely not such a short-sighted person.

"Haha, okay then, Uncle, I'll be waiting for your delicious treat. You're going to carry all these vines down the mountain, right? I'll help you." With a laugh, Doctor Li offered to help with the work.

I've heard that this girl is strong, a good hunter, and a delicious cook. Doctor Li is really getting a little hungry.

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Banxia didn't refuse, and the two of them each carried a large bunch of vines down the mountain.

Sure enough, after Doctor Li left, Banxia told Lian Chengmo about the ginseng, and Lian Chengmo immediately praised her for doing the right thing.

"Banxia, ​​you did the right thing this time, but etiquette must not be neglected. Once you have mastered the art of ginseng processing, I will prepare another gift for Physician Li," Lian Chengmo said with a smile.

His words completely treated Banxia as one of his own. Since his own family member had learned her skills, Lian Chengmo naturally had to express his gratitude.

Banxia was still immersed in the joy of obtaining a fifty-year-old ginseng and did not notice that there was something wrong with Lian Chengmo's tone.

Besides, Lian Chengmo has always spoken in such a grand and assertive manner, and Banxia is used to it.

Following what Dr. Li said, Banxia borrowed an object to dry the ginseng and then began weaving a fishing net.

Previously, Lian Chengmo wouldn't let them go up the mountain, which is why the children couldn't follow Banxia. Now that she's in the camp, the little ones have all gathered around and are looking at her curiously.

"Big sister, what are you doing?" Qi Juanbai, the most lively one, asked first.

When he asked this question, Liancheng Yuqi Changshan and Xiaoshuang'er all looked up at her, their faces full of curiosity.

"There's a river nearby, and I was thinking, maybe I could make a fishing net to catch some fish," Banxia said directly, without hiding anything.

According to the original owner's memories, their original village was also near the mountains, and there was a small river at the foot of the mountains. Some villagers used to fish with fishing nets.

However, fish have a strong fishy smell, and if you don't know how to prepare them or don't have any seasonings, they are hard to eat even when cooked, so very few people catch them.

Those who can't swim might be in danger of falling into the water. People won't risk their lives for food unless they're desperate. It's only the villagers who are desperate.

However, fishing nets did exist in this era.

"Big sister, let me help you, I've already learned how to watch it." Qi Changshan had been watching for a while and volunteered.

“I think I can do it too, I’ll help as well.” Lian Chengyu and Qi Juanbai quickly raised their hands to join in.

"Help me." Seeing that her brother was going to help, Xiao Shuang'er rolled up her sleeves and said seriously.

Although Xiao Shuang'er was young, she knew that her sister Banxia had made this fishing net to prepare food. She wanted to eat meat and wanted to help.

"Alright, then you all can weave one together. If your net catches any fish, I'll make fish soup for you all," Banxia said with a smile, pointing to a pile of vines beside her.

You shouldn't discourage children when they're enthusiastic, otherwise they won't dare to express their thoughts in the future.

Although Banxia didn't think the fishing nets the little guys made were actually usable, she let them do it as if they were playing with toys.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm and their participation in weaving fishing nets, Lian Chengmo looked at the dozen or so bamboo arrows he had already whittled and felt that it would be enough for the time being.

So he put down his tools and joined the main group.

Of course, it wasn't about adding a few small ones. Lian Chengmo carefully asked Banxia about the precautions for weaving fishing nets, and then began to help Banxia weave them together.

Two people are always faster than one, and in less than half an hour, Banxia had woven a fishing net that was two meters by two meters long.

She had visually estimated the width of the stream; at its narrowest point, it was only a little over a meter wide, so a two-meter net would be sufficient.

Banxia's net is made of vines, so the holes are quite large, and fish shorter than ten centimeters cannot be caught.

But since she was just trying it out, and if she really couldn't catch any fish, Banxia could still go hunting in the mountains, so she wasn't in a hurry.

To Banxia's surprise, the little ones actually managed to make a net that was over a meter long, although the holes were of varying sizes and the whole net was crooked and irregular in shape.

Banxia still gave the little ones face and praised them all, then instructed the two older children to keep an eye on the two younger ones.

Banxia and Lianchengmo set off with two fishing nets, one large and one small. Banxia really knew how to use them, and she didn't just give the smaller ones a perfunctory answer.

When they reached the river, Banxia walked downstream along the river where she had been digging for wild vegetables that morning. Then Lian Chengmo saw a bend in the river, which narrowed the river to only about one meter wide.

Before he could ask, Lian Chengmo watched as Banxia, ​​holding one end of the net, jumped to the other side.

"What are you standing there for? Pull up the net and let's go up a bit." Banxia called out to Lian Chengmo as he stood there in a daze.

"Okay!" Lian Chengmo snapped out of his daze, quickly picked up the other end of the fishing net, and pulled on the specially left vine rope as he walked back with Banxia.

When they reached the end where Lian Chengmo was, there was a small tree, and it was about 1.5 meters from the riverbank. Banxia called for a stop, and then asked Lian Chengmo to tie the two ends of the vines on that side to the tree.

On the other side, the hillside was uneven, covered with weeds but no trees.

But this didn't stump her. She took out two sharpened wooden sticks from the basket on her back and stuck them hard into the ground, easily securing the fishing net on Banxia's side.

After that, Banxia threw a few stones into the fishing net, causing the front part of the net to sink to the bottom of the river.

Using the same method, Banxia secured the little guys' fishing nets at that bend in the river, hoping to catch some small fish.

Because the little ones are so small, most of the mesh in this net is also small; it's just a matter of luck whether we can catch them by chance.

The river water is fairly clear, but there are too many aquatic plants at the bottom, making it impossible to see what's below. Banxia tested the water depth, and it was at most a little over two meters.

Even if she accidentally fell in, Banxia was confident that she wouldn't drown, because she could swim.

After doing all this, Banxia sprinkled several handfuls of sorghum flour onto the fishing net. It was a very coarse flour, the kind of grain that Yao Lizheng had distributed to them this time.
