Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

"Look at what you guys are doing."

Aunt Li came over angrily from behind.

"What are you arguing about? The water from your fields is flowing into my house. Hurry up and fix the ridges of your fields. What's going on?"

Aunt Li shouted directly at the aunt.

The old lady was stunned by the yelling, and finally she realized that there was too much water in her field last time, so she opened the drainage outlet on the ridge of the field a little, and forgot to fill it up later.

"Alright, alright, as long as we find the cause, everyone can go home and check the ridges of their own fields."

The villagers then dispersed. Village Chief Gu originally wanted to find a suitable place to cultivate sweet potatoes in his paddy field, but he didn't expect to encounter these things halfway.

After solving these problems, Village Chief Gu went to the place to have a look. It would be better to find another wasteland. That wasteland is not very suitable. The soil is not yellow mud and it is a bit damp. Then the piece of land behind his own mountain is also good, but it is not very big.

Seeing that the aunt realized her mistake, Aunt Li stopped blaming her. God knows that she came to the field early in the morning to check on the rice, but ended up with water all over the ground, even the ridges. The fertilizer that was spread just a few days ago would have been in vain if it hadn't been absorbed at all.

He had to go back and reclaim the wasteland to plant sweet potatoes, so he didn't waste time arguing with others. He immediately went to his field and dug a drainage hole on the ridge to allow the water to flow out faster. He asked the aunt to help him take a look, and then he hurried back.

After sleeping for a while, Xu Yuan finally woke up, stretched himself, and pushed open the door.

I saw Xu Zhi in the yard turning over the dried herbs, and the perilla leaves had already been dried.

"How is it, sister? It's okay to be exposed to the sun to this extent, right?" Xu Zhi picked up a piece of dried perilla leaf and rubbed it.

Xuyuan nodded, "Almost done, crush it when you have time, just like those dried chilies."

"Got it. So what are those bamboo sticks used for, sister? I put them in the utility room."

"It's not useful now, we'll deal with it later." It would take at least a few days to finish building the dining car, and it would also need iron welding, iron racks and other things, so it wouldn't be done that quickly.

Thinking about the bag of peanuts at home, I still need someone to shell them, and I also plant some at home. So I have to reclaim a piece of wasteland today.

"Where are the two boys?"

"I'm going to mow the grass for Dahua."

"Okay, Xiaozhi, you can peel the shells of the bag of peanuts I just brought back for me later."

Xu Yuan carried a hoe and went to the wasteland to remove the weeds, burning them for fertilizer. He then asked Dahua to come over to help plow the land.

At the moment, we are planting peppers, sweet potatoes, and now peanuts. These are all crops planted in the fields waiting to bloom and bear fruit.

After finishing these, I can prepare the materials for setting up the stall. Xu Yuan plans to open a barbecue shop.

The largest amount is grilled fish. This time, the wisher caught medium-sized fish, and added some sprouts and some green vegetables. He will go to the academy to test the water first. When the sweet potatoes are grown, he will go to buy grilled sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can also be made into dried sweet potatoes, which is good.

This time, Xiaojiu finally had some redeemable seeds in her store's crops, which were corn. Xuyuan planned to find a reason to redeem them after a while.

Dahua worked very hard and soon the wasteland was reclaimed. The reminder sound also timely appeared in her mind.

Just when Xuyuan was about to swing the hoe, there was a faint sound from the eavesdropping powder that he had exchanged earlier.

"How is it going?" A woman's coughing voice came into his mind.

The wish sounded very familiar.

"My dear, that group of people don't come to the county town often, and they are not from Lin'an City. I can't find out about them. Please forgive me, my dear."

"Hehe, he's just a civilian, is he hiding so well? You didn't look for him carefully enough." Then there was a crackling sound of things being smashed.

Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this. Who on earth could be so rampant? But nothing happened in the county recently. Could it be that he didn't dare to do it?

Do you have a thief's heart or a thief's courage?

"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Xu Zhi also came over carrying a hoe. He saw that his elder sister was standing there like a wooden man, motionless. He called her but she didn't respond.

"Sister is thinking about something." Xu Yuan immediately came back to his senses and began to communicate with the ground.

"Did you finish those peanuts so quickly?" He asked when he saw Xu Zhi coming to help so quickly.

"No, Guozi and Xiaoduo are back. I asked them to do it."

The two sisters worked efficiently, taking breaks after working for a while, and soon they had cleaned up the land. Xuyuan felt a sense of satisfaction as he looked at the smooth ditch.

"Let it dry and plant it tomorrow."

When I returned to the yard, I saw that the two kids were almost done. It really is true that work can be done faster when there are more people.

It was still early at this time. Xu Yuan looked at the few firewoods in the yard, and then he carried a bow and arrow, a hatchet, and hung a water bag around his waist, and walked up the mountain. Xu Zhi wanted to follow him.

But Xu Yuan stopped him, so he would only go there for a while and come back soon. He had to leave someone at home to cook. Although Guozi could cook now, he still needed to be taught how to stir-fry.

"Okay, then you have to come back early, sister."

Xu Zhi reminded again and again.

The mountains are cool and the sunlight here is not as strong.

Xu Yuan didn't plan to walk too far. Some of the lychee tree trunks here were dry, so he took a hatchet and chopped them down and threw them aside.

There were many dry branches here, so Xu Yuan quickly prepared a bundle of firewood. Looking at the pile of dirt, Xu Yuan carefully avoided it, because it was an ant nest, and one bite would make him itchy to death.

There were a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, and even the insect repellent sachets that Xu Yuan brought with him were no longer effective. Xu Yuan started chopping dead branches, tied them up quickly, took a stick, carried both sides of the stick on his shoulders, and hurried away.

There are many mosquitoes in places with overgrown weeds. Fortunately, the village was fumigated with herbs when it was built. The old doctor in the village also brought insect repellent grass seeds and distributed them to every villager, asking every villager to plant them in front of or around their homes. This prevents people from being bitten by mosquitoes.

When I was about to go down the hill, I met Uncle Zhu from the village. Uncle Zhu was wearing a straw coat, a straw hat, and had a bulging backpack on his arms.

"Hey, Uncle Zhu, why are you dressed like this?" Xu Yuan was very curious. It would be suffocating in such hot weather. It must be amazing that he could dress like this.

Zhu Chongli was also surprised to see Xu Yuan carrying firewood. "It's Xu Yuan. Uncle is going to collect honey."

"Ah, honey, Uncle Zhu, did you pick it?"

Uncle Zhu was very happy and pointed to the backpack in his arms, "Here." Then he was about to untie the backpack.

"No, no, Uncle Zhu, you worked so hard to pick these, please sell them. I don't want them, I'm leaving first." Xu Yuan hurriedly stopped him and turned around and left before Zhu Chongli took them out.

"This girl, ah."

Zhu Chongli had no choice but to tie up his backpack and go down the mountain.
