Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

After collecting more than a dozen new medicinal materials, Jiang Huaixu's points exceeded the five million mark.

Five million points can't buy a few things in the Star Mall, but it's a huge sum of money in the Modern Mall. She just runs a tofu workshop and can't use the points for the time being. This time she plans to plant most of the planting space with soybeans, leaving one Let’s see how it goes by planting some fruits in a small area.

The points are accumulated slowly for the time being, and they may be of great use someday.

Making plans in his heart, Jiang Huaixu walked out of the house. The villagers were still busy in the yard.

Maybe it's because their yard is so big that even if every family keeps it tidy up, the main work is still here.

Since Jiang Zhengmao revealed a little bit about his intention to pay wages last night, the villagers' mental outlook has improved a lot and they are full of energy. Always say hello when you see her.

After responding one by one, Jiang Huaixu called the Fu Tuan and took a small road to the northernmost part of Jiuxi Village. There were two collapsed houses. She took out the millstones in the space next to the piles of dirt and garbage. He also collected some large pieces of soil into the space, took them out and poured them on the millstone as a disguise.

After doing all this, she stood and looked at it from a distance. Covered by withered yellow weeds, she couldn't see it at all unless she looked carefully.

She clapped her hands and ran to several empty houses, stuffing things in the corners. After cleaning up the pile of debris in the space, it was time to eat.

She returned home covered in ashes, and the villagers at home also went back to eat. There was no one left in the yard, but there were constant voices in the house.

"Yao Mei, why is your face so dirty?" Jiang Dalang asked Jiang Huaixu while standing at the door of the kitchen with freshly fried hot cabbage in his hand.

Jiang Huaixu twitched her nose, and the smell made her stomach growl.

"Brother, I found that there are many useful things in some empty houses in the village. I will ask someone to search them later."

"Okay, come and have a meal. Our family will have a reunion dinner with the uncle's family and the second grandfather's family."

"Eh."

Qian Xiuzhu came out of the kitchen and handed the towel to Jiang Huaixu, "Okay?"

Jiang Huaixu nodded while patting the dust on his body with a cloth, "I can try it later."

Seeing that her little girl was so confident, Qian Xiuzhu stopped asking and went to serve the food.

Carrying two bowls of dry rice to the dining table, Jiang Huaixu found that the vegetables, meat and eggs he bought yesterday were all served to the table.

The three families borrowed from the villagers and managed to find two tables where they could eat, one for men and one for women.

There are a variety of seven or eight dishes on the table. Some are the menus that Jiang Huaixu memorized for Zheng Liniang, and some are fresh combinations made by Zheng Liniang herself, such as - stir-fried shredded radish with tomatoes.

The corners of Jiang Huaixu's mouth twitched. To her, this was really dark cuisine, even though she hadn't tasted it yet.

At this time, Zheng Liniang also came to the dining table with rice and asked Jiang Huaixu in a low voice: "Yaomei, what is that red thing? It doesn't taste sweet or sour to me. It tastes good when eaten raw, but it doesn't taste good when stir-fried." ?”

"That's called tomato. It's an exotic thing. It's usually fried with eggs. It's delicious when cut into pieces and sprinkled with some sugar. It can also be used to make various soups. You can try it next time, sister-in-law."

Zheng Liniang's face was filled with distress, "The designation from outside is expensive. It's a pity that I couldn't find it when I looked for you."

Jiang Huaixu advised her, "If no one eats it, I'll tell you how much money I paid for the tomatoes, and I'll make sure there won't be any left."

Farmers are used to being frugal, let alone just escaping famine, what hardships have they not suffered? Stir-fried shredded radish with tomatoes is nothing.

Zheng Liniang burst out laughing and said angrily: "You are the only one with more evil ideas."

Halfway through the meal, before Jiang Huaixu could tell the price of the tomatoes, the food on the table was gone.

Jiang Zhengmao put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Liniang's cooking is really good, and the soup is better than her aunt's cooking."

Zhao Chunfang turned her head and rolled her eyes at Jiang Zhengmao, "Who has tasted Liniang's craftsmanship and can't say a good word about it, why should you say it?"

"You bitch!" Jiang Zhengmao said helplessly, "Didn't I say that our village will eat in the same pot from now on, and no one will respond if Liniang holds the spoon for us?"

"Does this mean Liniang is decided?" Second Grandpa asked.

Jiang Zhengmao nodded, "Erlang has been settling accounts with me since last night, but he forgot about other things. From tomorrow on, we will eat big pot rice. I also bought these three big pots, and they can be used after boiling them."

"How to buy wasteland?" Second Grandpa asked, "Don't you mean one tael of silver per acre?"

"Yes, I originally thought that everyone would have their own money, and whoever could open up as much land could buy as much land. Erlang said that we might as well not eat from the big pot, and I thought so..."

Jiang Huaixu listened to their discussion and came out of the house with a group of sisters, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Zhou.

"Third brother, where is my cloth bag?"

"It's been hidden by me, I'll get it."

Jiang Sanlang hid at the door and looked around like a thief before entering the house.

"Yaomei, tell me how much money the agarwood sold for?" Jiang Wei already knew that the two sold the agarwood, so she resisted asking.

"More than ninety taels of silver."

"How much?" Jiang Fu suspected that she had misheard, so she repeated: "More than ninety taels of silver?"

"Well, one person can get more than ten taels."

Before anyone could sigh with emotion, Jiang Boliang called out to Jiang Sanlang who was tiptoeing in the room.

"Sanlang, are you a thief in your own home?"

"Dad, I got something...aren't I afraid of disturbing you?"

"We are discussing something, why don't you sit down and listen..."

Jiang Sanlang's heart rang with alarm, and he immediately said: "Dad, my stomach hurts!"

After running out of the gate in one breath, Jiang Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here, it's all here." He put the bag containing the money in front of everyone.

Jiang Wei stared at the bag for a while, then called Jiang Huaixu: "Mei Yao, please keep it for me!"

Jiang Fu didn't dare to take so much money by herself. Liu Ye'er wanted to save the money, so she raised her hand to agree.

"Why should Jiang Huaixu keep it?" Jiang Zhou asked strangely, "Can't I keep it myself?"

Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Zhou with sympathy: "Cousin Zhou, have you never taken so much money yourself? If your mother finds out, she will confiscate it. Before confiscating it, she will also say: I will help you save it for the future." Good wife!"

Jiang Zhou was stunned for a while after hearing this. He turned to look at Jiang Sanlang who looked frightened and understood something.

He did not believe in evil: "I used to have money in my hand, and my mother never asked me for it. I wanted to keep it myself."

Perhaps the lesson was too profound, Jiang Sanlang hesitated again and again, and finally handed it over to Jiang Huaixu for safekeeping.

After the five people had divided the pieces, there were still two pieces left. Jiang Huaixu collected Yunqi's piece, and asked Jiang Sanlang to deliver Zheng Yuan's piece personally.

Before Jiang Sanlang came back, Jiang Huaixu asked the remaining four people: "Are you going treasure hunting?"

The four people who tasted the sweetness agreed without any hesitation.

An hour later, the five people's bodies and faces were all gray, and they looked at the things they found with complicated expressions.

"These things are of some use, but how are they like treasures?"

"For us, as long as it can be used, it is a treasure." Jiang Huaixu patted the millstone, "Just like this one, it is of great use."
