Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business
Chapter 9 Is there still food on the mountain?
She opened the small jar that Jiang Wang had not put back into the cupboard and scooped a shovel of oil with a spatula.
Looking at the remaining oil in the small jar, Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment, and finally put the small jar back into the cupboard.
Feeling the temperature of the oil, Jiang Xue quickly poured in the egg liquid. A sizzling sound came from the pan immediately. She picked up the spatula and skillfully turned the egg over, then used the spatula to cut the fried egg into small pieces.
Then, she scooped a few scoops of hot water from the wooden barrel and poured it into the pot. As the hot water was poured in, the soup in the pot became a little milky white, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of eggs, which was very tempting.
Jiang Xue looked at the fire in the stove and added some firewood little by little. The fire instantly became stronger.
After a while, the water in both pots boiled.
She picked up the chopped white radish, put it into the boiling egg soup, sprinkled enough salt, and then planned to simmer it slowly over low heat.
Next, she uncovered the pot of cabbage and pork stew and tasted it.
Jiang Xue couldn't help but admire the delicious soup when she took a sip. She even wanted to swallow her tongue.
She picked up the prepared wooden basin, scooped for a while, and filled the basin full.
Suddenly, Jiang Xue seemed to remember something, walked to the corner of the kitchen, and picked up five or six mushrooms. She quickly washed the mushrooms in water, and then cut them into thin slices. Then, she opened the lid of the pot and put the sliced mushrooms into the simmering egg and radish soup. The addition of mushrooms made the already fragrant soup even more tempting.
At this moment, Jiang Wang walked into the kitchen. She saw that her daughter Jiang Xue had already prepared the dish, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
At the lunch table, the Jiang family members, who were busy all morning and looked exhausted, walked to the table at the same time. At this moment, Jiang Shun's slurred voice was suddenly heard, "Yes, again, and again." Hearing this, everyone looked at the dish in the middle of the table. There was a bowl of egg soup with white transparent filaments and black flakes in the middle.
The other dish is cabbage stewed with pork, which can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing the meat, even Jiang Yu felt incredible. It wasn't New Year or any festival.
After listening to Jiang Chen's explanation, Mr. Jiang's frown relaxed a little. He looked at Jiang Sanniu who was busy at the dining table, his eyes full of inquiry and expectation.
"Sanniu, is there any food left on the mountain? Can we go look for it right now?" Old Man Jiang asked anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation and anxiety.
Jiang Xue looked at her grandfather's anxious expression and felt touched.
She knew that this family had always lived a difficult life, and food shortages had always been a pain in their hearts. Now, she had the possibility of bringing a turnaround for the family, which made her both excited and nervous.
"Master, there is more. I know a place. I didn't dare to go there before because I was afraid it was poisonous. I watched it there many times and saw many small animals eating it.
I thought if small animals can eat it, then we can eat it too." Jiang Xue tried to remain calm and told her grandfather about her discovery.
After hearing what Jiang Xue said, all the wrinkles on Mr. Jiang's face were smoothed out, and he couldn't stop smiling. "Good! Good! Good! Get up early tomorrow morning, and everyone except the old woman who is taking care of little Jiang Shun at home will go up the mountain!" His voice was full of excitement and anticipation.
When the Jiang family heard the old man's instructions, they all expressed their agreement.
After hearing the system's suggestion, Jiang Xue's mind suddenly became clear. She realized that this was a simple and clever way to prevent the appearance of white radish from attracting too much attention and doubt.
"Xiao Nong is really smart!" Jiang Xue praised sincerely, feeling grateful to the system.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the Jiang family's yard was already bustling with activity.
The sounds of roosters crowing, dogs barking, and birds singing, along with the sounds of family members washing and talking, interweave into a soothing background music.
"Is everyone ready? Hurry and get up the mountain before daybreak," Grandpa Jiang urged.
His voice was full of anticipation and anxiety, and he was obviously full of confidence in the upcoming harvest.
A group of people walked towards Yunwu Mountain in a mighty procession, and Jiang Xue was among them.
Leading the way was Jiang Xue's father Jiang An, who was familiar with the way he navigated through the mountains and forests, leading the way for his family.
The early spring morning was filled with dew, which wet his clothes, but he didn't care. He only wanted to find the white radish field as soon as possible.
The whole family followed closely behind, each holding tools and eagerly anticipating the harvest.
Jiang Bing ran around excitedly, flitting between her brothers and sisters like a little bird, laughing and talking happily.
Jiang Wang looked at her daughter's cheerful figure and her heart was filled with warmth.
She took out a vegetable cake from her backpack and handed it to Jiang Bing. "Wuniu, this is what your mother saved for you." Her voice was full of maternal love.
Jiang Bing took the pancake, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. "Thank you, mother!" She was hungry at the time, and when she smelled the fragrance of the pancake, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. The sound was loud and crisp, making everyone laugh.
Jiang Bing looked at her sister Jiang Xue who was walking in front of her, thought for a moment, broke off half of the cake and trotted after her. "Third sister, this is for you. You need to eat more if you are sick so that you can get better." Her voice was childish and sincere, full of concern for her sister.
Jiang Xue looked at the pancake handed over by her sister, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
"Our fifth sister is the most obedient. Third sister has already eaten it, and my illness has been cured, you see!" Jiang Xue was afraid that the fifth sister would not believe it, so she squatted down to show Jiang Bing the injured part.
Jiang Bing looked at the injured part and found that her sister had indeed healed and there was not even a scar. She happily ate the wild vegetable cakes.
Everyone hurried on their way and finally reached their destination in less than an hour. Perhaps everyone was thinking about the new food and no one rested along the way.
Yunwu Mountain is high and densely forested, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and rich in resources. If the locals are not familiar with the route, no one would dare to enter the mountain easily. Most locals only go in and out of the outskirts of Yunwu Mountain.
Jiang Yu stood in the empty valley. There was no one around except his family. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. He looked at Jiang Wangshi and asked his question: "Mom, why is this place so deserted? No one comes here?"
Hearing her son's question, Jiang Wang turned to look at him with a meaningful look in her eyes.
She explained softly, "Yu'er, it's just the beginning of spring, and everyone is busy reclaiming wasteland. Who has the leisure to come to the mountains to dig wild vegetables? Only women and children like us can spare some time. Everyone has their own fixed place, and this place is also where we often come."
Jiang Wangshi's words made Jiang Yuxin suddenly realize. He nodded, and the doubts in his heart also dissipated.
He realized that although the place was empty, it was because everyone was busy with other things, not because there was anything special about it.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Sanniu, where is the white radish you mentioned yesterday? Take us to dig it up."
