Ye Zhizhi was good-tempered and gave acupuncture to several women with whom she usually had no conflicts, and then said,

"By the way, Sister Ma, my four-poster trousers were accidentally torn. Is there anyone in the village who is free and can sew the trousers for me? I also want to make some inner clothes. If you don't do it in vain, I'll give you some money."

While everyone was there, Ye Zhizhi quickly put out the problem that had troubled her all night.

"We are all good sisters. Asking for money hurts our feelings! You can bring your pants over later and I will sew them for you. It won't take any trouble!"

"Okay, then I'll thank Sister Ma in advance."

Putting the silver needle away, Ye Zhizhi called a few children and walked up the mountain.

Erzhu followed her with a suspicious look on his face, "When did you learn acupuncture? Why didn't we know about it before?"

I'm coming.

Ye Zhizhi has long known that when she can't hide her fame and achievements, these brats will doubt her.

So he thought of his words early in the morning and said, "When I was a girl at home, I learned it from an old lady at the entrance of the village. Don't you know it's normal? You and I didn't have a good relationship before."

Erzhu stopped talking. The gap between his stepmother and his stepmother became too big. She could do business and cure diseases and save people, so he felt more and more that this woman was not the previous stepmother at all.

Ye Zhizhi ignored him and was busy looking for a place to dig ginseng, planning to go deeper to be more convincing.

Xu Lanlan followed Ye Zhizhi with Sanniu. She actually wanted to cause some trouble for Ye Zhizhi and avenge her last time eating shit.

However, it was almost noon, and Ye Zhizhi did not stop, and she had to collect enough wild vegetable bark to go home, otherwise her mother-in-law would scold her for eating in vain.

There happened to be many trees in front of her door that had not been stripped of their bark, so she had no choice but to walk over and pick off the bark.

Sanniu originally planned to work with her mother, but when she looked up, she saw that Third Aunt had found a deserted grove, squatting down and not knowing what she was doing.

She swallowed, thinking that her third aunt had caught wild boars before and raised pheasants in the backyard. She must have some abilities that she didn't know about.

If I could follow the third aunt, I might be able to grab something to eat and take it home as a toothpaste.

With this thought in mind, she followed him furtively.

Ye Zhizhi asked her four children to dig out the bark of the tree. She followed the path, occasionally digging out a few mushrooms. She was about to throw the ginseng out of the space. Unexpectedly, she suddenly touched a green leaf beside her. In the mushroom bush, it looked particularly eye-catching.

"This is--?"

The shovel in her hand kept moving, her heartbeat was racing, and she dug hard. Only when the roots under the leaves were exposed did she see clearly——

This thing turned out to be a wild ginseng!

It was about as thick as four of her fingers, and its roots were extremely long, already quite humanoid. Looking at its appearance and size, it was at least a century-old ginseng!

For the first time, Ye Zhizhi felt that he still had some luck with the koi!Come whatever you want!

You know, three-year-old and five-year-old ginseng is not uncommon, but a hundred-year-old ginseng is a rare treasure, and she only has one in her space.

If such ginseng was sold in a drug store, it would cost seven to eighty taels!

If there is another wealthy person who cares about his life, the price may double!

"I'm so excited! Hahahaha, God really treats me well!"

Ye Zhizhi's wild smile startled Erzhu who was digging blindly on the ground. When he was distracted, he felt something long black and red streak across the back of his hand.

"I rely on—!"

Erzhu took two steps back, quickly threw the long black and red strip into the air, and shouted, "There is a snake!"

"What?"

In this era of poverty and lack of food, venomous snakes can be sold for money, and non-venomous ones can be made into snake soup.

It was the same size as a piece of meat. Without saying a word, Ye Zhizhi picked up the wooden trunk on the side and inserted it in the direction of the 'Red Snake'.

'Puff——' a sound.

"Give me death!"

Ye Zhizhi jumped forward in three steps and two steps at a time. However, when he got closer, he saw that this was no snake, it was clearly a...

Ye Zhizhi picked up the ugly black red branch and rubbed it with his hands. The more he rubbed it, the more he looked at it, "Is it a sweet potato?"

There are actually sweet potatoes in this era!

Ye Zhizhi got excited and said, "Er Zhu, where did you find this sweet potato?!"

Erzhu pointed to the small forest aside.

"Mom, what are sweet potatoes!"

"One acre of tens of stones is worth twenty times the amount of grain grown. It is moist and edible. It can be boiled or ground into powder. Raw food is like kudzu, cooked food is like honey, and tastes like water chestnuts!"

Ye Zhizhi thought of the records in the ancient books and felt a surge of emotion.

Although I don’t know why sweet potatoes appear here, maybe some birds brought sweet potato seeds?Or maybe it's some other reason...

In short, people in Tianshui Village have been living in the ravines for generations, and no one knows this thing. Therefore, this small forest is full of sweet potatoes, many of which are dry and rotten.

Ye Zhizhi felt heartbroken after watching it. All that came to mind were hot and sour noodles, shredded sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes...

She swallowed hard and picked up the sweet potatoes faster.

Wuya came over and saw Aniang digging hard on the ground and got out a bunch of black and red things, "Yaya help you dig it out!"

“Not only do we need Yaya’s help, but all of you are here!”

Because of the drought, the ground was very dry, and it was not easy to dig sweet potatoes. But fortunately, there were more people and more strength. With the addition of a few cubs, we finally dug baskets of sweet potatoes.

She forcefully broke the sweet potato into two pieces and found that inside was the white flesh of the melon heart, which smelled of a delicate fragrance mixed with earth.

In her previous life, Ye Zhizhi especially liked eating white-flesh sweet potatoes, but for some reason, most of the sweet potatoes on the market in later generations were red-flesh or purple-flesh sweet potatoes.

Some netizens said that white sweet potatoes have been eliminated from the market and used to feed pigs...

I don't know if it's true or not.

But fortunately, there are many sweet potatoes in this mountain. It’s just a pity that it hasn’t rained for three months. Many sweet potatoes have not absorbed enough water and have grown into long swollen bags. They are round and a little thin. Those that are small, I don’t know how they taste after being cooked. Will it be astringent?

Ye Zhizhi carried the dug out two baskets of sweet potatoes on his back and fell into deep thought when he saw that there were about five acres of sweet potatoes left in the field.

Outside the grove, San Niu's eyes lit up after witnessing all this, and she raised her legs and ran down the mountain.

Xu Lanlan, who was picking at the bark of a tree, saw her angry and became angry. She picked up her ears and slapped her across the face.

"Damn girl, you get lazy when it comes to work. You really think of yourself as a young lady! Come over here and dig the bark of the tree!"

San Niu was so dizzy from being slapped that she almost lost her breath. She covered her face and said, "Mom, I saw that Third Aunt dug up a lot of good things!"
