Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.

"Xiaxia, what are you doing over there? We should go back." Aunt Mei came over curiously when she saw Xiaxia squatting on the ground fiddling with something.

Yu Banxia parted the leaves to show Aunt Mei what was underneath: "This is kudzu root. Although it's not as big in summer as it is in autumn and winter, it must have been growing for many years."

"It should last us a while."

"What kind of root is this?" Yu Banxia searched her memory, but there was no record of hawthorn, chestnut, walnut, kudzu root, yam, or anything like that on the entire continent.

Clearly, they didn't know these things were edible.

They don't even eat things like toon leaves, shepherd's purse, wild onions, or wild garlic.

She saw many on the mountain just now; they were very lush.

"Just know that this is delicious and good for both men and women," Yu Banxia said with a grin.

Aunt Mei became curious: "These tree roots, are they edible?"

seriously?

"Let's go back first and come back after lunch."

"And these too, this is called wild onion, and this is called wild garlic. Wild onion stir-fried with eggs, aunties and sisters-in-law, you should try it when you get back, it's really delicious, I won't lie to you."

Seeing her serious expression, everyone picked some.

Wild onions and garlic have a rather pungent smell, and not many people really like them.

Yu Banxia then pointed to the bracken and said, "These are all old. I'll come back next spring to take you to pick them. These are also very delicious, but some are inedible, so you must pick the right ones."

"This wild vegetable is called Malantou. Blanch it, sprinkle it with salt, add a little sugar, sesame oil, chili and vinegar, and it becomes a delicious cold dish."

"Really?" A group of women looked at the wild vegetables that Yu Banxia had pointed out with suspicion.

"This is called purslane. It's a wild vegetable and also a kind of herb. It's great for making steamed buns."

"This is called shepherd's purse. It's an excellent choice for making large dumplings, wontons, and flat dumplings. It's fragrant and delicious."

Yu Banxia taught as she walked, and Aunt Mei exclaimed in amazement, "Xia girl, how do you know everything?"

"It's recorded in an ancient book that Master has collected. We'll come back this afternoon to pick more wild vegetables and make shepherd's purse dumplings for everyone to try tomorrow."

"Okay, what you've said makes my mouth water. I'll come and try this shepherd's purse tomorrow to see what it's all about."

Zhao also came today, and hearing Yu Banxia praise these wild vegetables, she couldn't help but feel craving them too.

"Haha, your Aunt Zhao just loves to eat." Aunt Mei laughed heartily, and the others laughed too.

It was still early, so the men in the Yu family courtyard dispersed and went to carry materials with Zhang Quangui. Aunt Mei and her group washed the fairy leaves clean and rubbed them into juice before straightening up.

"Hey, why does it feel so cool at your house, sister-in-law?" Aunt Mei touched her forehead and found that there wasn't a single bead of sweat on it.

The others also realized that they didn't seem to feel the heat much.

"Everyone was washing the leaves with well water just now. The well water is cold, so the aunties felt comfortable and not hot." Yu Banxia reacted quickly, and when she said this, the others nodded in agreement.

Perhaps that's the reason.

Fan Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently at her daughter.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll go back and cook." Aunt Mei glanced at the Yu family's sundial and prepared to get up and go back to cook.

Aunt Mei left, and the others also said their goodbyes and went home first.

Yu Banxia took out a lot of lilies from her space, preparing to make mung bean and lily soup for everyone to cool off in the afternoon.

These were all planted by her before, and now they can all be harvested normally.

"What is this?" Yu Banyue came over to help and saw the white and tender lilies, but didn't know what they were.

As Yu Banxia peeled the lily bulb, she said, "This is a lily bulb, a kind of Chinese medicine. It can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and has the effect of calming the mind and soothing the nerves."

“I’ve never seen this before,” Yu Banyue said, peeling the petals one by one as she did so.

"It's normal to miss some. These are plants I grow in my space. Otherwise, there would be very few of them now. These are medicinal herbs that only mature in autumn."

Yu Banxia introduced herself to her older sister.

Yu Banyue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaxia, just how big is your space? How can you grow crops and medicinal herbs there?"

Yu Banxia thought for a moment and said, "There are probably ten of them in our village!"

"So big!" Yu Banyue stared in shock. At first, she thought her sister's so-called space was about the same size as her.

After a long pause, Yu Banyue finally spoke up: "We really should thank that judge. We should burn more paper money for them every year, and burn more for our ancestors too. We are so grateful for their protection."

"If Xiaxia is safe and sound, it's necessary for us to show more filial piety."

Yu Banxia smiled and nodded: "Okay, sister is right. It's all thanks to the blessings of our ancestors that I am who I am today."

These words were the truth. If it weren't for the ancestor leaving this space and passing it down through generations, she wouldn't have obtained it. After the accident, she died completely and never had the chance to be reborn.

"Then what do we do?" the two asked as they peeled the shells, their movements quick.

Yu Banxia fetched water herself, washed them clean, soaked the lilies in water, and carried them into the kitchen with Yu Banyue.

I soaked a lot more mung beans, and once they were ready, it was time for lunch.

They called Yu Hongwen and others, and waited for a while, but Zhang Quangui still didn't return.

Yu Bantao then said, "Let's eat first. My husband told me before he left that we don't need to wait for him for lunch."

“I left him some food, and I also told the auntie at the workshop to leave some food for the workers.”

“Okay, let’s eat first.” Yu Hongwen nodded.

Before dinner, Wu Zhuxiang asked Yu Banxia, ​​"Xiaxia, what are you going to do with those things? Your sister-in-law will help you with that later."

Yu Banxia didn't stand on ceremony. She had to go up the mountain in the afternoon, so she told her how to cook it and that she had put some rock sugar in the cupboard so she could just add it to the soup later.

"Once it's cooked, you can chill it in well water; it will taste even better."

"Alright, sister-in-law, I understand. What are you going up the mountain for this afternoon?" Wu Zhuxiang asked, picking up her bowl.

Yu Banxia then told him about finding wild vegetables and kudzu root. Yu Mancang swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Then your third brother will go and help you this afternoon."

“I’ll go too,” Yu Banyue said.

"Okay, let's eat first, or Dad will hit us if we talk again," Yu Banxia said playfully.

Yu Hongwen glared at her helplessly: "Is your father that kind of person? Or when has your father ever really hit you? You brat!"

"Auntie isn't a brat, Auntie smells wonderful."

"Mmm, Auntie smells nice."

The two little ones suddenly looked up and said in a serious tone, which immediately amused the whole family.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Okay, okay, Auntie smells sweet. Yingyue, eat your food obediently, and Lian'er too." Yu Bantao gently pinched the two little ones' cheeks and said affectionately.
