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

"I felt sorry for it, so I bought it. Let the cow recover first."

"Alas, how can you say you are good if you buy a cow but it can't start working right away?" Seeing this, Uncle Liu and Uncle Wang sighed, shook their heads and left.

"Girl, you have to clean up your wasteland within half a month, and start sowing seeds on a small piece of land." Uncle Wang turned around and gave some instructions while making a wish.

"Okay. How's the discussion on the canal going?" Xu Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly.

"Village chief Gu has almost made the arrangements. Once the wasteland in the village is reclaimed, we will all start digging together. You are a girl with a lot of ideas. This is a good idea. Okay, you go back first." Uncle Liu replied.

He stopped the ox cart, pushed open the locked gate, and drove the ox into a shed in the yard that was specially built for storing firewood. The shed was not very big, so he moved the firewood outside and tied the ox to a bamboo pole. There was some hay left over from making mud bricks on the ground.

"Hey, sister, here is a bucket of fish. Who sent it here?" Song Guozi found a wooden barrel placed next to the courtyard gate, and part of it was covered with leaves.

Xu Zhi saw a few fish that were about to turn over, so he quickly carried them into the house and closed the yard door.

"Who else could it be? Apart from Brother Gu, other people in the village don't seem to like eating fish very much. They find it fishy and no one goes fishing every day."

Many people speculated on the sidelines.

"Xiaoduo, now that you mention it, it reminds me that the mark on this bucket was drawn by Qingming before." Song Guozi saw the sloppy mark of a fish drawn with charcoal on the side of the bucket.

Xu Zhi carried the wooden barrel into the kitchen and started processing it efficiently.

If it is not processed, the fish will die and will not be fresh.

Xuyuan prepared a place for the cow to live and came to the kitchen.

"This……"

"Sister, Brother Gu put the fish outside the courtyard gate. Didn't you see it when you opened the door just now?" Many people answered Xuyuan's doubts.

"There are so many that we can't finish them. Xiaozhi, you can salt the fish and hang them on the racks in the yard with vines to dry. We can make them into jerky for easy storage."

"Come, you two will have tasks from now on. The task of feeding grass to the cows will be given to you two brothers. Two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening." Xu Yuan instructed his younger brothers and began to prepare lunch.

"Then sister, let's go cut the grass and feed the cow. No, the name Niu Niu is not majestic enough. I want to call it Dahuang." Many people gave names to the new cows on their own.

"That's a cow. You call it Da Huang. Isn't that a bit unkind?"

"Well, then let's call her Dahua." Song Guozi immediately replied.

"Yes, Dahua is a nice name."

"Then sister, let's go cut the grass for Dahua!" The two little kids picked up the sickles beside them and walked towards the fields they wanted to reclaim.

……

"Brother, will Sister Xuyuan see the bucket of fish? You hid it so well."

At this time, the Gu Qinghan brother was holding bamboo poles under a tree on the river bank, staring at the water closely.

"I'm sure you'll see it. Don't worry. When you go back later, go to your wishing sister's house and take the bucket home. Today is the last day of fishing. You need to help with the land tomorrow."

Gu Qinghan looked at the water while instructing his younger brother that since he had lent his cow to someone else and could finish the work today, he would have to start clearing the wasteland tomorrow.

Gu Qingming nodded obediently, "Then I have to ask Sister Xuyuan if she still has the wild onions. It smells so good when cooked with the fish."

Gu Qinghan also nodded in approval. Seeing that the pole was still motionless, he looked at the sun and a little sweat appeared on his forehead.

He put away the pole, wound up the line, put the other pole next to the tree, picked up the barrel, and said, "Go home."

"Brother, are you..." Gu Qingming saw his elder brother's smile on Sister Xuyuan's face last time, and he asked cautiously with a sly smile on his little face.

Gu Qingming had wanted to ask this question for a long time, especially this morning when he went to collect the nets that had been cast last night. He specifically picked out the big fish and put them in a bucket to take to someone's house, but he didn't see the disappointed look on Sister Xuyuan's face.

"What? Speak if you have something to say."

Gu Qinghan felt a little itchy in his palms when he saw that his brother looked like he deserved a beating.

Gu Qingming pointed with his two little fingers and stammered, "Just...you and Sister Xuyuan..."

The voice became less confident.

"Nothing like that. What do you know, little kid? Stop talking nonsense." Gu Qinghan listened for a long time and finally heard what Gu Qingming said. His ears turned slightly red and he immediately responded and scolded.

"Oh!" Gu Qinghan curled his lips. Fearing that his elder brother would hit him, he shut up obediently.

After lunch, the four siblings went back to their rooms to rest for a while.

I asked Xiaojiu to set an alarm clock, and after resting for a short while, the alarm started beeping in my head.

Xuyuan got up quickly, poured the rice seeds he had just bought into a wooden barrel, added some water and covered it with coarse cloth.

He went to the cowshed again, exchanged the tools and ointment for scraping the cow's hooves, gave the cow pills to block the pain, and began to scrape the rotten flesh on the cow's hooves. Because the cow did not feel pain, it did not move and allowed Xu Yuan to do whatever he wanted.

Xuyuan quickly fixed one hoof, applied ointment and changed it with a clean bandage, and then moved on to the next hoof.

Produced by Xiaojiu Ointment, it is guaranteed that you will be able to go back to work in the fields in three days.

After finishing the cow's hoof, Xu Yuan went into the utility room to get some vegetable seeds, then carried a hoe and walked to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

The land in the backyard has been neatly divided into plots. One plot has been planted with wild onions, which have also taken root here.

Make a wish and unwrap the seeds in the cloth bag, inside which are each colorful strips of cloth and some small pieces of paper.

Aunt Li is illiterate and can only use strips of cloth to mark herself.

Grab a handful of vegetable seeds and spread them evenly on the ground, making sure there are not too many or too few seeds in each place.

The seeds were sown quickly. Xuyuan sowed different vegetable seeds on the cleared land, picked up a wooden bucket and started watering. The bucket could not water evenly, so he could only pour water out with his hands.

After a while, Xu Yuan was sweating profusely, his clothes and trouser legs were wet. The ground had been watered and he still needed something to cover it. He could only get some hay from the side of the mountain and started to cover it evenly.

After doing all this, Xuyuan poured water on it again and went back to change his wet clothes.

"Big sister, look, does it look like the pepper you mentioned? This one is small and green, and there's another one that's red."

Xu Yuan took off his wet coat and hung it on the pole in the yard. Then he heard his younger brother pushing open the gate and running in, sweating profusely and with a red face.

"Let me see what it is."

After taking the fruits from many people, looking at them, Xuyuan immediately smiled.

"Ding, I found wild chili peppers, and I'll give you 50 points as a reward."

Yes, there are new dishes in the American cookbook.

"Xiaoduo, you are not mistaken. This is the pepper that I want you to pay attention to. Where is it? Take me to see it."
