The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine
Chapter 21 Mission Increase
Old Man Jiang walked around and came back and said, "The village chief is also sick. I guess he can't leave today."
Jiang Qingyi frowned and asked, "Master, are there many sick people?"
Old Man Jiang thought for a moment and said, "A lot. I saw four or five people coughing in each household, and some were shivering from the cold. They couldn't get anywhere at all."
Old Mrs. Jiang said with a worried look on her face, "What should we do if this continues..."
Jiang Qingyi didn't plan to stand idly by this time. The villagers couldn't bear the cold weather and it would delay her trip to the capital.
She thought of a solution, then stood up, pulled Old Man Jiang aside and said, "Grandpa, go tell the village chief that drinking water boiled with ephedra, basil and licorice can cure colds. Just tell him that the man told me that last time."
Old man Jiang agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiang Dahai came back with water, and Jiang Qingyi took out a handful of herbs from a bag on the cart, put them in a pot and started to boil the medicine.
Chen took Xiaojie and Jiang Xiaotian to take care of Zhao, while Wang watched the fire.
Jiang Qingyi took a hatchet and went to a nearby place to chop down a bamboo. She took the middle part that was about two meters long, cut off the branches, sharpened one end, and then walked towards the river.
On the other side, Old Man Jiang found the village chief and told him about the herbs that Jiang Qingyi mentioned, and also said that it was the young master's people who told him the prescription.
The village chief believed it immediately. He took Old Man Jiang aside and said many words of thanks.
After seeing off Old Man Jiang, the village chief immediately sent someone to find the three herbs.
Jiang Qingyi caught three fish in the river and came back.
Old Mrs. Jiang knew what Jiang Qingyi meant, so she asked Wang to use it to make fish soup.
After the people sent by the village chief to collect herbs came back, every family started to get busy and make medicine for their family members.
When Zhao woke up, she felt dizzy and had no strength in her body.
Jiang Qingyi directly brought a bowl of brown medicine to her, "Mom, drink this."
Zhao was not hesitant at all. She took the bowl and drank it down in gulps.
"It's okay, just cover it up and it will be fine."
After drinking the medicine, Zhao fell into a deep sleep soon after.
The fish soup that Wang was cooking was also finished. Old Mrs. Jiang put a pinch of salt in it and stirred it, then distributed it to the family members in bowls.
Jiang Qingyi didn't want to eat fish that had been boiled in soup, so she only ordered a bowl of milky white soup. The soup was made from wild fish and only had a little salt added. It had a slight fishy smell, but it couldn't cover up the delicious taste of the fish soup at all.
After drinking a bowl of fish soup, I felt warm all over.
The child from a nearby family smelled the fish soup and started to make a fuss, demanding to eat the fish.
The adults in their family had no choice but to coax them into agreeing.
In fact, everyone had little food left at home, and there was no reason not to go fishing when they were guarding such a big river. It was just that they were not as quick as Jiang Qingyi.
By the afternoon, thanks to the prescription given by Jiang Qingyi, the symptoms of most villagers who had caught the cold had improved.
When some people heard that the recipe was given by the Jiang family, they brought gifts to express their gratitude. Some brought a sweet potato, and some brought a handful of corn grits...
However, Old Man Jiang did not take anything. These things may not mean much to the Jiang family, but they may save lives for other people at any time.
If it were in the past, Old Man Jiang might have shamelessly accepted it, but now he would never do such a thing.
Old man Jiang's behavior again aroused praise from the villagers, who thanked him profusely before leaving.
In the afternoon, many people went to the river to catch fish. Jiang Qingyi naturally went with the tools she had made in the morning. She couldn't miss such a good opportunity to eat meat.
In addition to those who went fishing, some people took the time to boil water to wash their bodies. In addition, many women carried wooden basins directly to the river to wash clothes.
The younger children were watched by the adults at home and were not allowed to play in the water. They could only watch from the shore.
Jiang Qingyi looked at so many people stirring in the water that even the fish were scared away.
She stayed away from the others, and after seeing the fish, she quietly approached it, poked the bamboo pole in her hand into the water, and a three-pound silver carp was firmly stuck on the pole.
Jiang Qingyi took the fish off the pole and decided to catch one more before going back.
She was very lucky and soon caught the second fish and returned home.
Many people saw the tools in Jiang Qingyi's hand, and they also followed suit and got a pole to poke fish.
However, they did not understand the refraction of light, and missed the fish after poking dozens of times. Finally, they had no choice but to give up and choose to use other methods to catch fish.
Jiang Qingyi had just returned to the camp and sat down for a while when the system's voice rang in her mind, "Today's task is one. Host, please catch a crab. Upon completion of the task, you will be rewarded with a portion of fried pork ribs."
Task 2: Please pick up a pebble. Upon completion of the task, you will be rewarded with two roast ducks.
Task three, ask the host to find a river shrimp. Upon completion of the task, you will be rewarded with a portion of braised prawns.
Whether to accept? 】
After listening to the system, Jiang Qingyi's face turned into a shocked expression. After a while, she belatedly asked, "Tongzi, why are there so many tasks today?"
The system voice sounded very happy. [Because the host has completed a high degree of tasks and has a positive attitude, the main system has given permission to increase the number of tasks per day to three, so that points can be accumulated quickly.]
Jiang Qingyi couldn't help but complain in her heart. The system issued tasks like picking up grass, picking up branches, and finding stones every day. There were rewards for completing them. It was hard not to do them!
But even though I complain, I still have to complete today’s task!
She accepted the task and went back to the river.
Jiang Dahai was still in the river. He wanted to catch a fish to make fish soup for his sick wife.
But he couldn't catch it after working for a long time, and wasted a lot of time.
Jiang Qingyi went to the river, picked up a pebble and sneaked into the space, and then moved stones in the shallow water to look for crabs.
Jiang Dahai saw his daughter moving stones one by one, so he came up to her and asked, "Yiyi, what are you looking for?"
Jiang Qingyi straightened up and replied, "Looking for crabs?"
Jiang Dahai said with a look of disdain, "Why are you looking for that thing? It's all shells when you take a bite. It's not tasty at all."
"It smells delicious when it's roasted. I want to eat it." Jiang Qingyi said seriously.
"Then dad will help you find it." Jiang Dahai said with disdain, but his movements in moving the stones were not slow at all.
Jiang Qingyi smiled and continued to move stones to look for crabs.
Jiang Dahai reminded her from the side, "Yiyi, be careful, the crab's claws can hurt." He then added with concern, "How about you go to the shore and wait for Dad to catch it and give it to you?"
Jiang Qingyi did not reject Jiang Dahai's kindness, "Okay, Dad, catch two more and roast them for fun later."
She smiled with a rare childlike innocence on her face, and Jiang Dahai also smiled innocently.
