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

Pan Dahai took the purchased herbs into the kitchen to boil them, and then he thought of something.

"Grandma, don't we have a piece of cleared land behind our house? I want to open it up and buy seeds from Sister Xuyuan to plant peppers."

"What is chili?" Pan Xiaojiang asked his elder brother curiously while munching on a bun, taking a bite and chewing it slowly, savoring the taste.

"Yes, you can make a lot of money. Sister Yazi Xuyuan, didn't I say that it won't grow when the weather is cold? But the chili peppers are different. They can be dried and sold."

When Pan Dahai heard Sister Xu Yuan say this, he had already made up his mind. Sister Xu Yuan had so many ideas, and she also allowed his family to earn some income through Yazi. It would definitely be a good idea to follow Sister Xu Yuan.

When I came back, I wanted to discuss with my grandparents to reclaim the wasteland behind the house, and then go to Sister Xuyuan to discuss it.

"Da Hai, you are a child with your own ideas. Grandma will not interfere with your thoughts. Just do what you want to do. Grandma has agreed with you from Grandpa's side, and Grandpa also supports you.

Pan Xiaojiang also nodded and smiled foolishly at the thought of something. "Wow, if I make a lot of money, I can eat meat buns every day."

"Brother, when are you going to open up the land? Why don't I go and open up the land later? You can take care of the paddy fields."

Pan Xiaojiang quickly ate the meat bun without savoring it carefully. He took a few bites and stuffed it into his mouth.

He scooped some water from the wooden barrel, washed his hands and mouth, then went to the side of the house, picked up a hoe, and walked to the back of the house.

Seeing her grandson full of energy, Grandma Pan was very pleased. "Take your time. Don't worry. Xiao Jiang, Grandma will come to help too."

"Da Hai, bring it to your grandfather when it's done. Grandma is busy too."

……

The pepper seeds in the backyard vegetable garden have already sprouted. The weather has been good recently, so the seedlings are growing fast.

Xu Yuan planned to open up a piece of wasteland to grow peppers. However, if the demand is large, it will not be enough to rely on himself, so he planned to ask the villagers to grow it together.

After all, if the number of peppers can be replenished, then many things that require peppers can be developed quickly, which means a continuous source of money.

Maybe I could even become a small landlord.

Wait a couple of days and then ask when the villagers come to deliver the sprouts.

"Sister, this wood ash is enough."

Xu Zhi made a huge pile of stuff aside, looking dusty and dirty.

"Sister, Dahua has a lot of poop, do you want to mix some in?" Many childish voices said shockingly.

"Uh, Xiaoduo, let's not do that for now. We need to deal with it. Remember to put the feces that you and Guozi shoveled these days over there to dry them in the sun." Xu Yuan pointed to the vacant space far away from the house and close to the vegetable garden. As for how to deal with it, Xu Yuan had never done it before, so he could only grope around. He still had to rely on Xiao Jiu's golden finger.

Guozi and Xiaoduo nodded. They were the ones who had been feeding Dahua recently, so they were very familiar with this matter.

"Xiaozhi, it's almost time to eat. Let's take a rest after eating." Xuyuan follows the three meals a day schedule. It is time to eat at a certain time. Except for a few families like Xuyuan in the village, the rest of them only have two meals a day to save food.

"Ding Dong, a piece of wasteland has been reclaimed and one hundred points are awarded." Xiao Jiu's long-lost voice appeared in Xuyuan's mind.

Xuyuan was busy these days and didn't need Xiaojiu, so he almost forgot about Xiaojiu's existence, except when he could predict the next day's weather after waking up.

Thanks to the villagers for the gifts, I made money without any effort.

What a pleasure.

Stir-fry a plate of bean sprouts and a plate of Chinese cabbage, which are freshly picked from the vegetable garden and are very juicy. Steam a pot of brown rice, and take a dried fish, add some dried chilies and wild onions, smash a piece of ginger, stir-fry briefly, and serve.

The four siblings ate with hearty appetite and quickly finished the food on the table.

"I'm so full, sister. The fish tastes completely different after being dried. It's delicious." Xiaoduo held his round belly and smacked his lips.

"Yes, big sister, why don't you get some more fish and dry them? Didn't we sell them for a good price last time? And they can be preserved for a long time."

"I have this plan, but let's finish the work in the field first."

Xiaozhi and Guozi were quietly cleaning the bowls.

"Xiaozhi, I have something to tell you. From now on, you will be in charge of the bean sprouting business. The written agreement with the villagers is about to expire. If more villagers come to deliver bean sprouts to us, we will accept them and pay them according to the payment on the agreement."

After all, Xu Yuan had already discussed with the villagers before. They would take the sprouts to the county town. The price couldn't be too chaotic and everyone had to share it equally. As for the amount, they could discuss it among themselves and Xu Yuan didn't intend to ask.

However, if you still want to collect it to make a wish, the price will still be based on the receipt and will not be changed.

The villagers were also very easy to talk to. After some discussion, they all agreed.

The money for bean sprouts that the villagers brought to their door these days was all paid in cash. According to the agreed document, after Xu Yuan taught Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi was in charge these days.

Xu Zhi was very happy. After all, seeing his elder sister busying around all by herself, if he could share some of the work, it would reduce her burden.

After making the wish, you will start to plant peppers. The planting time of peppers also has a basis.

Chili peppers, as a crop, like heat and humidity, and need to grow in places with longer sunshine hours and higher temperatures. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Zhupian Mountain is quite large, so it is magical to find wild chili peppers in this place.

Wild peppers are the small kinds of chili peppers. Although they are small in size, it does not affect their spiciness at all.

Since wild peppers can survive, the peppers you grow yourself will definitely be able to survive well.

Chili peppers are good, and they can be made into pickled peppers.

There are so many bamboo forests here, so there is no need to worry about not having bamboo shoots to dig in the future.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this was truly a treasure trove of land.

Since the doomsday, Xuyuan hasn't seen so many docile green plants. After all, the green plants mutated at the doomsday carry viruses that can take your life in a moment.

Even if Xu Yuan was envious, he could only look at the various cooking methods of delicious dishes in Xiao Jiu's system and quench his thirst.

But now seeing so much food, my appetite can no longer accommodate so much. I feel full after just a few bites.

What a shame.

It is a pity to make a wish.

……

By the evening, the temperature had finally cooled down a bit. Xu Yuan put two loads of wood ash on the cart. Xu Zhi helped push it from behind. Guozi and Xiaoduo each held a stick, and the four siblings came to the edge of the field.

The temperature of the water in the field was not as hot as it was in the morning. Xu Yuan took a dustpan, poured some water out of the basket, and handed it to Xu Zhi.

The two sisters began to walk towards the field, scattering as they walked. The two little boys followed one sister each, sweeping the wood ash off the seedlings and sweeping it into the field.
