Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

However, Zhou Chunfeng soon said with some embarrassment: "But the people who are repairing the road are all men. Wouldn't it be bad for two women like us to go there?"

Zheng Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we let my grandfather come with us and pay him wages every month."

Zhou Chunfeng: "That's fine. There's no work in the fields now. Let your grandfather help you work hard for a few months."

Zheng Qinghe listened to what his mother and sister said with some depression, and wanted to say that he would not go to study and come home to help.

But he knew that even if he said it, his mother and the others would not agree.

But the one who felt the most uncomfortable was Zheng Dashan. He was extremely upset. If his leg was fine, there wouldn't be any need for so much trouble.

Zheng Xiaoman didn't know what they were thinking, so she said to her mother, "Mom, please leave some of our cabbage for me. I have other uses for it."

"Okay, we grow a lot of cabbage at home. We'll use some of it for pickling, and keep some for winter. The rest will be yours."

Zheng Xiaoman plans to make some kimchi again. The kimchi can be eaten after being pickled for a few days, but the taste is not as good as that pickled for half a month.

The mother and daughter discussed some details, and Zhou Chunfeng went to the town in the morning. She first bought some seasonings for her daughter, and then went to the pork stall to buy two pig offal.

Seeing that there were still a lot of big bones on the stall, she bought them all.

Zheng Xiaoman was not idle at home either. She carried four or five baskets to the river to catch loaches.

Now is not the time when loaches are most active. Generally, loaches are more willing to come out when the weather is warm.

But who told her to have a cheating tool? She put some space spring water in the basket and waited for the fish to come in by itself.

Even if there are no loaches, some small fish and river shrimps will be good too.

After putting the basket away, she carried it up the mountain again to see if there was anything else to eat.

She first went to the place where the hawthorn tree was found and picked some hawthorns.

After walking a little further inside, she actually discovered quite a few mushrooms.

There is an old saying that goes, "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water." It is indeed true.

There are so many things to eat in this mountain and river.

She took a bag out of her backpack, squatted down and started picking mushrooms.

"cluck"

There was a sound of something shouting not far away.

Zheng Xiaoman paused and listened carefully to what had just happened.

"cluck"

The thing then barked a few more times, and Zheng Xiaoman's eyes lit up. Isn't that the sound of a chicken?

And judging from the sound, the pheasant should be not far away from her.

She moved carefully towards the direction where the sound came from and saw a pheasant in the grass.

The pheasant was lying on a grass nest at this time, making a clucking sound from its mouth.

It looks like it is brooding, but this is not the brooding season for pheasants.

Although Zheng Xiaoman was puzzled, he was thinking about how to catch the chicken.

She can't compare with the pheasant in terms of speed, so it seems she has to use the stupid method.

She quietly stepped back a few steps, first took off the backpack on her back and turned it upside down on the ground, then found a wooden stick to prop up one side of the basket.

She didn't bring any hemp rope today, but luckily there were a lot of vines nearby, so she cut some with a knife and made ropes.

She tied one end of the vine to the stick and held the other end in her hand.

After making the simple trap, she picked some wild grasses and smeared the spiritual spring water on them.

Put a few at the bottom of the basket and a few outside the basket.

Then she took one end of the vine and hid behind a big tree, waiting quietly for the pheasant to come.

Sure enough, after a while, the pheasant lying on the ground smelled the fragrance of the spiritual spring water and stood up.

Soon the pheasant discovered the wild grass coated with the spiritual spring water, and it ate a whole grass in just a few bites with its pointed beak.

Then it followed the direction of the weeds, and suddenly stopped in front of the basket.

I saw the pheasant wandering back and forth outside the basket, cackling non-stop.

The whole chicken was a little anxious, and it obviously wanted to get into the basket and eat the weeds inside, but it was hesitant and didn't dare to go over.

Zheng Xiaoman was watching from the side and was very anxious, fearing that the meat about to reach his mouth would fly away.

Fortunately, the pheasant finally couldn't resist the temptation of the spiritual spring water, walked under the basket and began to eat it.

Zheng Xiaoman waited patiently until the pheasant completely relaxed its vigilance before he pulled the vine in his hand hard.

She pulled the stick down in one go, and the pheasant was trapped under the basket.

"Cluck cluck"

The pheasant was startled and began to struggle desperately.

Seeing that the basket was moved by it, Zheng Xiaoman flew towards the basket and pressed his whole body on it.

It was a close call, the pheasant almost flew away.

The pheasant kept flapping its wings in the basket, and Zheng Xiaoman did not dare to relax his strength in his hands.

The fight ended with the pheasant completely exhausted, and Zheng Xiaoman happily tied up the pheasant with vines.

After tying up the pheasant, she went to the place where the pheasant had been lying just now and saw that there were indeed six or seven pheasant eggs inside.

This pheasant is really unique. It chose to lay eggs and incubate in such cold weather. But this time it's a good thing for her.

Zheng Xiaoman happily put the eggs into the backpack. Just as he was about to carry the pheasant back, he found a patch of green wild vegetables in the grass on the other side.

"Huh? What kind of wild vegetable is this? It looks familiar."

Zheng Xiaoman pulled away the weeds and took a closer look. Oh my God, are these beet leaves?

She quickly squatted down and dug up the soil under the leaves, and soon saw the red roots underneath.

The roots of beets look very similar to the round radishes, except that the core of the beet is also completely red.

The most important thing is that beets can be used to make sugar. In the past, there was a saying that there is sugarcane in the south and beets in the north.

Simply cook the beetroot to make syrup.

A few days ago, she was still thinking about asking her mother to buy some sugar at the end of the year, but she didn't expect that she would find the raw materials for making sugar so quickly.

She felt that her luck seemed to have improved since she came to ancient times. She didn't expect that she could discover this beet.

I don’t know what country or era this is, and why things that only appeared very late in her original world can be found here.

But no matter what the reason was, she looked at the large field of beets in front of her with only one thought in her mind.

I'm really going to get rich this time.

"Hahahahahahahaha" Zheng Xiaoman pinched his waist and laughed three times towards the sky, startling a flock of birds in the forest.

The birds were passing the message to each other, brothers, there is a lunatic here, run away quickly.

Zheng Xiaoman threw the dug beet into the basket, then ran down the mountain holding the pheasant in his other hand.

As for the half bag of mushrooms she had just packed, she threw it directly into the woods.

When you have beets, why bother with mushrooms?

Now she just wanted to pull her grandfather up the mountain as soon as possible to harvest all the beets.
