Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Many people are carrying backpacks and small shovels. After all, it is not easy to go up there, and you certainly can't come back empty-handed.

As they were approaching, the village chief pointed to a large pond and said, "My wife, this pond has not been visited for many years. There are probably fish in this pond."

"Look, there are a lot of edible mushrooms and wild vegetables here."

Everyone who went up the mountain was very excited. Even the bark of the trees elsewhere was eaten away, but the wild vegetables and mushrooms here were rotting on the ground and no one cared about them. It was a pity.

Many people have squatted down to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms.

Lin Shuangshuang stared at the endless lotus pond, her eyes shining.

She didn't expect this lotus pond to be so big. How many lotus roots must there be under it?

Moreover, it is a lotus pond that no one has picked for so many years. The lotus roots below must be bigger than the last.

Lin Shuangshuang became more and more excited as she thought about it. She picked up a branch and inserted it into the water to test the depth.

Seeing that all her attention was on the pond, the village chief asked curiously: "Gu's wife, what are you doing?"

"This pond is not deep, about half a person's height."

"Don't be in a hurry to catch fish. We didn't bring a bucket or a net bag today. We'll dig wild vegetables and pick up fruits today, and then go into the water tomorrow with the fishing tools."

"Hey, no one has been to this pond for more than ten years. The fish in the pond must be bigger than the last."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, this was true.

She looked at the watermarks on the branches. It was indeed only half a person's height deep.

"Uncle Li, find two who are good at water and go down and have a look."

"What are you looking at? Fishing?"

Lin Shuangshuang shook his head: "If you don't fish, look for lotus roots."

"What is lotus root?"

Lin Shuangshuang has lived in this world for two lifetimes and has never seen lotus roots. Therefore, she concluded that people in this era should not know about lotus roots.

"It's the rhizome of the lotus flower that's in the mud and can be eaten."

"If you can find lotus roots, you won't have to worry about eating them in the future."

"With such a large lotus pond, there must be a lot of lotus roots underneath, enough for the people here to eat for half a month."

When the village chief heard this, his eyes widened with excitement: "Seriously?"

"Well, let's let someone get in the water and touch it first. After all, I saw it in a book and never saw it with my own eyes."

The village chief nodded hurriedly: "Okay, this is a big deal. If there are really lotus roots, they will be much more abundant than wild vegetables."

"Xiao Niu, Xiao Hu, Zhuang Zhuang... you guys come here."

"Go into the water and look for something."

Several young people immediately went into the water and followed Lin Shuangshuang's instructions to feel down the branches of the lotus, and soon touched the mud.

My hands were inserted into the soft and sticky mud, and I touched a round thing.

"Sister-in-law, I touched something round and hard. Is it the lotus root you mentioned?"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Don't break it. Peel away the mud and continue to touch down. This thing is cut into pieces. There should be many pieces."

"Okay, let me touch it and see."

Mavericks listened to Lin Shuangshuang's words and continued to touch down the lotus root, and sure enough he touched another section.

After a while, the calf dug out a long, round, white and tender lotus root, with as many as five or six knots.

Soon Xiaohu, Zhuangzhuang and others also dug out lotus roots and raised them above their heads excitedly, not caring about the mud sticking to their arms.

"Sister-in-law, is this really edible?"

"There are many miles down here, but it's difficult to dig. It's too deep and you can't pull it out hard. It will break if you pull it."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the plump white lotus roots in her hands. It was just as she had guessed. The roots were plump and huge.

"It's edible and delicious. Like potatoes, it can be used as a vegetable or as a staple food. It's delicious cold or steamed."

Everyone cheered after hearing her words: "That's great, I'm no longer afraid of going hungry."

Lin Shuangshuang said: "Uncle Li, send a few people down the mountain, find more people to go up the mountain, and ask them to come up with buckets and wooden basins, as well as more baskets and sacks."

"Let's catch fish first and then dig lotus roots."

"These are enough to last for half a month."

The village chief also looked excited: "I will go down the mountain myself."

There are some things that he has to go down the mountain to arrange in person, and people can't explain clearly.

Not all the people at the bottom of the mountain can go up the mountain, some must be left to guard the village.

Just send people down to spread the word, and when everyone hears that food is found in the pond, they will rush up the mountain in a swarm, and there will definitely be trouble.

After the village chief left, Lin Shuangshuang asked other people who knew how to water to dig lotus roots.

Mavericks, Zhuangzhuang and others were passing on their experiences so that they could teach them to others later.

Those who didn't know how to swim were not idle either. They squatted on the ground digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms, busy using their hands and feet at the same time.

This kind of picture of mountains and fields full of fungi can only be seen in dreams. I didn't expect that it would come true today.

It's really like a dream, you can pick it up casually, it doesn't cost any money, and there are so many that you can't finish them all.

Soon, under the leadership of the village chief, a total of one or two thousand people came, all young and strong men and women with nimble hands and feet.

Everyone screamed in surprise when they saw the wild vegetables and fungi all over the mountains and plains.

"When a man goes into the water, he first pours some water out of the pond with a basin, so that he can catch fish and dig lotus roots."

"The women are digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms nearby. Don't go far and go together in small groups."

No one dares to go far away alone without the village chief's advice, after all, this place is haunted.

After the village chief divided the work, everyone took action together and was very busy.

This is all for food. As long as they have this food, they don't have to starve to death.

Lin Shuangshuang saw that everyone's water splashing efficiency was too slow, so he had several ditches dug in the lotus pond and blocked with fishing nets.

The pond water flows along the ditch into the gully and deep pit next to it. This is much more efficient than pouring water out one basin at a time.

The water in the pond was almost full, and everyone started to go into the water to catch fish.

"Caught, caught."

"This fish is about to become a sperm. It must weigh more than a hundred kilograms."

A young man caught a very large fish. The big fish swung its tail violently in his arms, making him unable to hold it at all.

With a swipe, the big fish fell into the water again, but the water was very shallow, and he could clearly see it no matter where he escaped.

Several young people chased and intercepted him, and the big fish was caught again.

Some people whispered: "I heard that the big fish must be released, otherwise there will be bad luck."

"Yeah, I've also heard that such a big fish must have become a sperm."

"There is a ghost in this place... maybe it's a fish spirit..."

As the sky darkened, everyone felt a little confused.

Lin Shuangshuang didn't want a fish to affect everyone's mood, so he asked people to release the big fish into the deep ditch next to it.

"Work quickly."

"Let's go down the mountain before dark."

"Catch the fish today and dig lotus roots tomorrow."

"Row."

At dusk, Lin Shuangshuang originally wanted to work for a while, but due to everyone's fear of this place, he immediately took the people down the mountain.

Although everyone was scared, they were happy because of the harvest.
