Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

She glared at Jiang Wangshi and said unceremoniously, "Wangshi, are you bored and have nothing to do? Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Jiang Wang was stunned by Jiang Chen's words and suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

But she knew that the most important thing at this time was to tell her mother-in-law about the new grain, so she quickly explained: "Mom, Sanniu and I found new grain this morning when we went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. It was quite big, about two or three pounds. I tasted it and it was really special."

After hearing what Jiang Wang said, Jiang Chen was obviously a little unconvinced.

In this day and age, what food can be found? Some bitter wild vegetables were plucked away as soon as they sprouted, let alone food. But she looked at Jiang Wang's serious expression and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Wang, are you daydreaming because you have nothing better to do than eat? If you have some free time, go to the fields and help with the work, and feed the chickens."

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't quite believe what she said, Jiang Wang hurriedly said, "Mom, go to the kitchen and see, the thing is still in the kitchen!"

"Really? Then take me to the kitchen." Jiang Chen said, and followed Jiang Wang to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Jiang Wang carefully took the white radish out of the basket and handed it to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen took the radish and looked at it carefully, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. The radish was indeed white and clean, and looked very tempting.

"Is this thing really edible? Is it poisonous? Is it really not going to kill me? I have lived for most of my life and have never seen this thing before. It is really strange."

As she spoke, Jiang Chen picked up the knife on the knife rack, and cut a slice right next to the cut marks.

After smelling the white radish in her hand, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and put it in her mouth and chewed it for a few times.

Jiang Wang nodded and looked at Jiang Chen expectantly: "Mom, try it, it tastes really good."

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, but still took a bite. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. The white radish had a crisp and refreshing taste, and a sweet and delicious taste. It was indeed different from any food she had eaten before.

"This..." Jiang Chen looked at the white radish in her hand in shock, "Is this really a newly discovered food?"

Jiang Wangshi nodded.

Seeing Jiang Chen praising the white radish, Jiang Xue couldn't help but smile happily.

She thought about taking out the remaining radishes when it was reasonable. After all, this discovery was too important for the family.

Jiang Chen cut another piece of white radish, savoring its crisp and delicious texture and sweet taste. She couldn't help but ask several questions in succession: "Wang, where did this thing come from? What's its name? Are there any more? Can it be found?"

Faced with Jiang Chen's series of questions, Jiang Wang was at a loss for words. She looked at Jiang Xue, then at Jiang Chen, and seemed a little helpless.

"Mom, I don't know what this food is. It was found by Sanniu. She said that she saw some small animals eating it, so she was sure that it should not be poisonous." Jiang Wang explained.

After saying that, Jiang Wang and Jiang Chen both looked at Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say, "Grandma, Mom, I've seen this kind of food in Grandpa's book before. It's called crystal white radish."

Hearing this name, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wang both showed surprised expressions.

Crystal White Radish, this name sounds precious and special. Jiang Chen couldn't help asking, "Sanniu, how do you know this is called Crystal White Radish? Is it really recorded in your grandfather's book?"

Jiang Xue nodded and tried her best to recall the contents of her grandfather's book: "Yes, grandma. I remember there was a page in grandpa's book that recorded all kinds of strange grains and plants, including this crystal white radish.

The book says it tastes sweet, has a crisp texture, and is rich in nutrients.”

After hearing what Jiang Xue said, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wang looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

If this crystal white radish is really as precious and delicious as described in the book, then perhaps it can really become the new hope for their family.

After hearing what Jiang Xue said, Jiang Chenshi did not doubt it. After all, the Jiang family was once wealthy, with two students in the family, and before the war, the family had abundant labor and many fertile fields, so it was possible to save a hundred taels. This family background allowed the Jiang family to have some miscellaneous books, and most of the family members could read a few words.

The Jiang family's naming is also unique. They do not use names like Goudan, Erniu, and Huzi like other families.

Jiang Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Sanniu, is there still this thing on the mountain?" She was eager to know whether this new discovery could become a new hope for the family.

Hearing Mrs. Jiang's question, Jiang Xue felt something in her heart and thought this was a good opportunity.

She decided to go with the flow and said, "Grandma, I saw quite a lot before. If we look carefully, we will definitely find a lot."

Seeing her mother-in-law smiling from ear to ear with joy, Jiang Wang, who was standing by, took the opportunity to suggest, "Mom, why don't we all go up the mountain to look for white radishes tomorrow after Dad comes back?"

After listening to Jiang Wang's suggestion, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.

When Jiang Chen heard Jiang Wang's proposal, her eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. She thought to herself that if she could find a large number of these crystal white radishes weighing several kilograms, they would be a huge fortune for the family. She couldn't wait to discuss this with Mr. Jiang to see how to make better use of this new discovery.

So, she immediately instructed Jiang Wangshi: "Wangshi, please take a look at how to cook this radish. Should we serve it cold? Boil it? Let everyone taste it in the evening."

Jiang Wang nodded in agreement, looking at the radish in the pot and the plump white crystal radish on the cutting board with some embarrassment. Although she had promised her mother-in-law before, she actually didn't know how to cook this novel ingredient. She looked at Jiang Xue, hoping to get some help.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue smiled slightly, walked to Jiang Wangshi, and said softly: "Mom, don't worry. I remember there are some cooking methods for this crystal white radish in grandpa's book. We can try to mix it cold to keep its original crisp taste and sweet taste. I will teach you how to do it."

When Jiang Wang heard what Jiang Xue said, she was relieved. She knew that Jiang Xue was smart and often read her grandfather's books, so she had a certain understanding of these things. So she assuredly handed over the task of cooking to Jiang Xue.

"Mom, do you have any eggs left? Give me two eggs." Jiang Xue suddenly made this request, making Jiang Wangshi a little hesitant.

In this poor era, eggs are the treasure of the family. People usually don't eat them, let alone use them for cooking. But seeing Jiang Xue's serious look, Jiang Wang decided to ask her mother-in-law.

She turned and walked out of the kitchen, heading straight for Jiang Chen's room. She knocked on the door and asked, "Mom, are you in the room?"

Jiang Chen was in the house, planning to lock the eggs she had just picked up from the chicken coop into the cabinet. When she heard the knock on the door and Jiang Wang's voice, she opened the door impatiently.
